WORN BY NAVY OFFICERS.
When Cdfnmodore Dewey la3t winter
was promoted ftom the rank of captain
he had 16 visit tho tailor for clothes
suitable to his new rank and was
obliged to buy a full-dresa coat and
a cap. The latter cost sls.
During the terrible storm at Samoa
some yearß ago, when the nayal offi
cers lost their belongings, a bill was
Introduced to reimburse them, and it
was figured a lieutenant's wearing ap
parel was worth $1,365, an ensign's
$1,050, and a rear admiral's $2,000. An
admiral's full-dress outfit,lncluding the
hat, Is worth $765. The epaulets alons
cost $165.
During (he engagement at Manila
Commodore Dewey, as he stood on the
bridge directing his forces, wore what
Is called the service coat, of dark blue
serge, shaped to the figure, with a slit
on each hip extending on the right side
as high jts thp sword belt. Plain gutta
percha buttons and a high collar fin
ished the coat. His trousers had a Btrtp
of gold lace down their outer seams
one inch wide. The visor of his cap
was trimmed with oak leaves.
It takes most of a young naval offi
cer's salary to keep his wardrobe tn
•cadition to suit his superiors. The
first thing a naval cadet Is taught la
how to keep his uniforms in condition.
He has a number of them for different
occasions, but the regulations are most
exact. Naval officers are much more
particular than army officers In regard
to tho making of their uniforms, for
they are continually cruising about
the world, entering foreign ports, and
trust uphold the honor of their coun
try.
Photography Coder Water.
A wonderful Invention has recentl)
been devised by which photograph)
may be taken under water. The lighl
for this purposo Is furnished by an in
candescent lamp placed in a steel easi
In the diver's headpiece,the luminous
ra; a being protected by a reflector
placed In the rear of the steel case,
and the electricity provided by means
of a small dynamo carried In the boa!
above. The photographic apparatuj
Itself consists of a common camera
placed within an India rubber envel
ope, the front of which Is glass, and
the machine Is regulated and pictures
taken by pressing buttons through the
Ind.a rubber covering. The result if
such as to be pronounced an achieve
ment, for It has been demonstrated
that pictures can be taken under watei

Iwelva feet as easily as they can bi
obtained above In tha full light of

J A SCHOOL INNOVATION.
Path Tubs Introduced in Some European
School Houses.
j A famous German professor of by
\ gieue declares that above all things
j our schoolrooms should bo provided
with a good system of ventilation. And
all of us agree with him. We want
some arrangement whereby the impure
air can be constantly swept out aud
| the pure air introduced. Aud yet wa
who have stood in the schoolroom, sur
rounded by nearly a huudi'ed little un
washed bodies, cannot feel satisfied
with this arrangement aloiie. We know
by experience that even the best ven
tilating apparatus will fall short in
producing exactly an ideal condition
of tho atmosphere. We had often
thought of making tho hath tub apart
and portion of tho education of the
children intrusted to our care, in for
mer years, says the Illustrated Home
Journal, and yet we lacked the neces
sary fuuds for luakiugthe experiment.
Many teachers have entertained tho
same views with the same results.
But now we find to our surprise that
the idea is very old, and, iu fact, has
been carried into excellent etTeet long
ago iu many of the schools of Europe.
Warm shower baths, and plenty of
them, havo been provided for the chil
dren, with whom this innovation seems
to be extremely popular. These baths
are practical aud economical, as well
as hygieuie. A school iu Gottingen,
Germany, took the load iu this direc
tion in 1883, and now some forty cities
in Germany, Switzerland and Scandi
navia have such baths in their school
buildings. Referenco is made to one
foreign school where the facilities for
bathing sixty children an hour cost
only J8357. The Superintendent of
Schools iu Springfield, Mass., is urg
ing the introduction of these facilities
there, though the people of Springfield
claim to use more private bathtubs
thnn those of any other town in tho
United States, population considered.
The question is a fair one whether tho
character of the atmosphere iu our
popular assemblies, as well as our
schoolrooms, is not more of a reflec
tion on the amount of our tubbing
than upon deficient ventilating ap
paratus.
WORDS OF WISDOM.
No men living are more worthy to
be trusted thau those who toil up from
poverty.
A man who does not know how to
learn from his mistakes turns the best
schoolmaster out of his life.
It is not our failures that ruin us,
but our fear aud tardiness iu making
new beginnings after failure.
There are many who traverse the
world in pursuit of happiness; but it
is within the reach of every man—a
contented mind confers it.
Useless fretting and worrying bring
more gray hairs to the head, wrinkles
to the face and cares to the mind, than
old age and aotual trouble.
It is continued temperance which
sustains the body for tho lougest
I period of time, and which most surely
! preserves it free from sickness,
j A life merely of pleasure cl' j'niefiy
' of pleasure is always a poor aud worth
| less life, not worth the living; always
unsatisfactory iu its course; always
miserablo iu its end.
It hns been said that to the pure all
j things are pure. Just as thoroughly
has it been proved that to the vile, all
vileuess is of the vilest, aud what is
pure is considered only a grade of
vileuess all the more reprehensible,
because it is obviously impossible of
comprehension by minds attuned to
less harmonious chords.
The lloui- or Heath.
Speaking of the time of day Rt or
near which most deaths occur, Filtlay
3on, of Glasgow, says Le Journal do
Medecine (Paris), believes that it is 0
a. m. His observations include 15,000
cases. "31. Beadles makes a differ
ence between the sexes. He says it is
5 to 7 a. m. for men aud the evening
hours for women. M. Schneider, of
Berlin, less vague in his affirmation,
bases his statistics on 57,000 deaths,
and gets 5 to 7 a. m., without distinc
tion of sex. Mr. Raseri (25,471 ob
servations) remarks that it is gen
erally in the afternoon that people bid
adieu to the fair land of Italy.
Fiualiy, M. C. Fere has collected 11,-
401 eases at the Salpotriere andßiceire
hospitals, aud finds that they take
piace at all possible hours, but that
there is a lull from 7 to 11 p. in."
Dining HIT St or I si.
A returned volunteer tells p. gaol
story, which, by the way, goes to show
that officers were not feasting while
the men were liviugou ordinary army
rations. One of our generals in Cuba
entertaiued, it seeuts, some visiting
officers at his field qnartors near the
fighting line before Santiago. Tho
fare resembled in simplicity tha legen
dary roasted sweet potatoes of Revolu
tionary times, but tho host's hearty
welcome mid still mora his wealth of
good stories carried along tlia meager

came a pause, both gastronomic and

The romorse of a guilty stomach Is what
a largo majority of the peonlo aro suffering
with to-day. Dyspopsials a characteristic
American dlsoa.su and It Is frequently stated
that "wo aro a nation of dyspeptics."
Improper fool, hurried eating, mental
worry, exhaustion—nny of those produce u
lack of vitality in the system, by causing
the blood to lose its life-sustaining ele

Restore it to its proper oondition, dys
popsta will vanish and good health follow.
For example, In the county of Pembina,
North Dakota, u few miles from Walhalla,

The Doctors Disagreed.
"I became seriously ill throe yoars ago.
The doctor gave rao medicine for indiges
tion, but I coutluued to become worse. I
had soveral physicians at intervals who
gave me some relief, but the disease would
return with all its accustomed severity.
"I read ia the newspapers articles re
garding the wonderful curative powers of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People,
and finally concluded to try the pills. Five
months ago I bought six boxes. Tbo first
box gave me much relief, and after using
four boxes I was cured."
These pills are rocognizod ovorywhere as

SNAKES IN PACIFIC ISLANDS.
Hawaii, Samoa and New Zenlnnd En
tirely Free from Reptiles.
For the most part the Pacific islands
aro destitute of snakes. That is abso
lutely the cr.se in Hawaii. In New
Zealand, equally free of these reptiles,
the only knowledge which the Maorl9
had of snakes may be found in a le
gend of a monster called tho taniwha,
concerning which the authorities differ
as to whether it is the ancestral and
dim recollection of a snake or of an al
ligator. All the eastern islands of
Polynesia between these two outposts
are snakeless. Westward from Hawaii,
down among the Gilberts and the
Marshalls and the Carolines, the
square-bodied water snake begins to
make its appearance In the lagoons and
harbors. By the time the Philliplncs
are reached the water snake becomes
both common and deadly and the
Jungle of those islands aro abundant
ly supplied with snakes. From the
Phllllplne3 as one follows down tho
chains of islands snakes are found
both abundant and venomous. In the
wild landa of the western Pacific the
reptiles are frequently objects of wor
ship, and In some legends are credited
with the creation of tho world. Samoa
seems to lie Just on the boundary line
of snakes In the Pacific. In the east
ern Islands of the archipelago no
snakes are to be found; In Upolu a
few are seen at rare intervals. In Sa
vall only a few mllee to the westward
they are common and attain great size,
In the case of some kind at least. None
of them Is venomous and the islanders
neither fear them nor exhibit any of
that repugnance to their presence
which is commonly called Instinctive.
This indifference to the reptiles is
made moct markedly manifest at the
hamlet of Iva on the northeast coast
of Savaii. Here are to be found small
snakes of the most brilliant red color.
They are so common that a basketful
may be easily picked up In any banana
patch. The dancing girls of this
town are In tho habit of employing
these gaudy snakes £or personal
adornment In their dance 3. They tie
them about their necks, their ankles,
and their wrists, festoon them In their
headdresses, and luck a few extra ones
In their belt In readiness to replace
such as escape in the dance. At their
■tiest these sivas danced by the Sa
moans aro either dull or revolting
shows of savagery. It can be easily
Imagined that they are made no more
attractive when the taupou or village
maid and her crew of attendant girls
go careering about with an assortment
of writhing red Bnaltes. Still the Sa
ruoans, who have no stock of snake
prejudices, look upon this as one of tho
most successful and arUstlc dances In
,their islands.
The Eaklmo's float.
There la no craft BO difficult to han
dle as the Eskimo kayak. The only
boat familiar to ua which in any way
resembles it ia the racing shell, but
if a crack oarsmen of one of our col
leges were tied into a kayak and told
to Bhift for himself he would have a
hard time of it. It is entirely covered
except for a round hole, into which the
owner Blips, pushing his feet under
neath the skin deck in front, the hoio
being fitted to the person for whom
the boat is designed, so that hia
thighs fill it completely. When he is
seated in it, with his waterproof Jacket
tied securely around the edge, he is
able to defy waves or rain. The most
expert are apt to be sometimes over
turned, either by a careless movement
or an unexpectedly large wave, and,
If he does not right himself at once, If
Inevitably drowned. -

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
Trom Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham.
The following letter to Mrs. Pink-
Lara from Mrs. M. RANK, NO. 2,354
East Susquehanna Ave., Philadelphia,
Pa., is a remarkable statement of re
lief from utter discouragement. She
says:
44 I never can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
" Some years ago I had womb trouble
nud doctored for a long time, not see
ing any improvement. At times I j
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So ip went on
until last October, I felt something
terrible creeping over me, I knew not
what, but kept getting worse. I can
hardly explain iny feelings at that ,
time. I was so depressed in spirits
that I did not wish to live, although 1
had everything to live for. Ilad hys- j
teria, was very nervous; could not
Bleep and was not safe to bo left
alone.
44 Indeed, I thought I would lose my
mind. No one knows what I endured.
44 1 continued this way until the last
of February., when I saw in a paper a
testimonial of a lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta
ble Compound. I determined to try it,
and felt better after the first dose. I
continued taking it, and to-day am a
well woman, and can say from my
heart, 4 Thank God for such a inedi- '
cine."*
