A STORY OF THE COMMANDER THAT SAILORMEN LOVE TO TELL How the Detroit Broke Up What the Insurgent Admiral Called a "Blockade." An Incident That Pleases Men Who Have Seen Smiling Men Fight. It was in January, 1894, that the civil war in Brazil was coming to a climax in the harbor at Rio. Admiral da Gama of the insurgents was in the harbor with several ships-of-war. The government held the city, but while the insurgent admiral held the water no shipping could go up to the front as long as he said it couldn't, and he said no. Various governments were affected by this embargo—"blockade" the admiral called it. Great Britain was concerned chiefly, but the United States was a good second, with Germany and other nations as well. Europe looked to America to do something in the matter and war naturally diffident about interfering in family rows on this side of the water. At last Admiral Benham was sent down to take charge of the United States fleet in Rio harbor. The flagship was the San Francisco, and on Sunday, Jan. 28, Admiral Benham called on his captains to come aboard. Among them was Commander Brownson of the Detroit. It is said that after the conference this commander came back to his ship smiling. However that may be, he certainly smiled next morning. Just after 6 o'clock that evening—it was calm as could be, almost—the Yankee naval ships were seen to be in a hustle. The canvas awnings faded away, and in the night certain sounds were heard aboard them, at which various listeners put their hands cup shaped behind their ears to listen harder. On the morning of the 29th there was a change in the appearance of the Yankee fleet. It had taken off its coat, waistcoat and shirt, so to speak, and was just eyeing itself when day dawned to see how good its training had been. The insurgent ships Aquidaban and Tamandare were up the bay above Viana island with their cables short, ready to trip. The Trajano and Guanabara, as well as the fleet of armed tugwere crowded with men from the garisons of Cobras and Villegaigon. The Liberdade flew the little blue ensign, for Admiral de Gama was aboard her, lying with the Trajano and Guanabara north of Enchados island, a few yards from the American bark Amy, one of the boats kept out by the blockade. The INVENTOR OF LEAD PIPE First Suggested by Robert Seydell Pennsylvania In 1830. There was born in Milton, Pa., 1800 a man of wonderful genius, said. His name was Robert Seydell, he died in 1847. Four children survive two of whom reside here—a son, J.Seydell, and a daughter, Mrs. Gray. Mr. Seydell was a coppersmith who was almost continuously working on some device connected with the thinery in his factory. To him, it lapsed by some of the oldest citizens this place, belongs the discovery of process of making lead pipe, and many other inventors, the idea of naming the same was stolen from him further developed to its present form manufacture. It was in the latter part of the ties that the idea suggested itself him, and the following is the way wrought it out. He first took a slurcasting of lead, placing it on a man or rod of steel, about 16 feet long an inch in diameter. The mandrel highly polished, and upon this he rolled out the lead to the full length of the rod, thus giving him an bore, and the material was rolled, said, to a one-fourth inch, making total diameter 1½ inches for the length of the mandrel he soldered together, making the pipe of what length he desired. He put it to practical use by framing it to pump heads, and also running it from springs to connect water troughs and springhouses in the try round about here. Being pleased with his discovery and realizing the most flattering of com­pany from his friends and neighbors in section, he concluded to make hisvention more widely known, and made a visit to Philadelphia, to his device with him. At the Franklin institute in that he gave his first exhibition to quail number of inventors artisans and chafers. As it is now related, even who witnessed it was more than lighted, and so expressed himself his immediate presence. It was not that he was allowed to remain in distinction of supreme happiness over his invention; for a short time after he disclosure of his discovery, yet in Philadelphia, he found out by the persons to whom he had an exhibition of the process of making pipe his idea had been used improved upon. —Philadelphia Press The President notices Congress of the victory at Manila in a special message, and Congress gives Acting Rear Admiral Dewey a vote of thanks. 11—First Americans killed.

AUGUST. 13—Peace terms signed and the war declared at an end. The Forum of Trajan. A few years ago the forum of Trajan was used as a depositing place for cats which were not wanted, but as it does not present the same facilities of retreat and hiding as the forum of Augustus street boys and others took every opportunity of stoning the unfortunate animals. Finally the authorities, after many complaints, refused to allow any more cats to be thrown there, and in order to get rid of those already living in the forum presented one to each sentry box on the walls of the city. They all, however, speedily disappeared from their new homes, some returning to the foot of Trajan's column, where they were either killed by the street boys or transferred to the forum of Augustus, while others, it was whispered, were sold by the sentries for a few centimes to enterprising young medical students in search of subjects for dissection. — Rome Letter. Young and Verdant. A man married recently a young wife who takes everything quite literally. He came home and said he would take her to the theater, and presently he found her stuffing all sorts of edibles into a couple of black bags. "What are you doing?" he asked, and she replied meekly, "Packing provisions, because I have just read in the paper that six weeks will elapse between the first and second acts." — Rival. The insurgent ships Aquidaban and Tanandare were up the bay above Yiana island with their cables short, ready to trip. The Trajano and Guanabara, as well as the fleet of armed tugwere crowded with men from the garisons of Cobras and Villeagion. The Liberade flew the little blue ensign, for Admiral de Gama was aboard her lying with the Trajano and Guanabara north of Enchados island, a few yards from the American bark Amy, one of the boats kept out by the blockade. The Parahyba was lying with its teeth, so to speak, at the throat of the Yankee barkentine Good News. Commander Brownson on the Detroit got his ship under way, having hoisted anchor at 6 o'clock, and headed toward the city between Enchados and Cobras islands. Her crew was at her guns, and as eager a lot of men as one could see anywhere at that time. The anchor got fouled in the Detroit's hawse hole, and that was ample excuse for proceeding slowly, which was convenient, while a couple of insurgent tags made a sputter at the northern littoral of the city, as they had been doing a long time. After a couple of men had been killed aboard the tugs they drew back, and the Detroit, with everything clear, rounded Enchados island and came along starboard side to starboard of the Trajano. The men looked through their sights and then up at Commander Brownson on the bridge. The story of what they saw is a tradition in the navy now and always will be so long as men like Brownson are in command. The commander was smiling. A man on the Trajano raised a musket and fired a bullet over the heads of sailors pulling away in a boat with a line from the Amy to a ship at anchor that the Amy might be warped to the forbidden docks. Two heavy insurgent tugs came around with their rams pointed at the side of the Detroit. On the San Francisco the red flag of battle had been run up to the fore truck in stops. A quartermaster stood with his hand on the halyards eager to break it out, with his eyes fixed on the admiral, who was looking at the Detroit for the sign which would cause him to give the quartermaster the order so ardently desired. When the insurgent shot was fired, Commander Brownson turned to the gunner at a one pounder, and with a scarcely perceptible increase of the smile ordered the man to shoot into the Trajano at the water line six feet abaft the stern. The order was misunderstood, and the shot went across the insurgents' bow. Therenupon Captain Brownson hailed: "Trajano, ahoy!" he shouted. "If you fire again, I will return the fire, and if you persist I will sink you." The Trajano's crews were excited. If a nervous finger had pulled a trigger, the fight would have been on. But the shot did not sound. The sailors on the Amy's yawl waited to see what they were to do next. "You go ahead," Commander Brownson shouted, "and I'll protect you!" The sailors went. "Aim at the Guanabara!" ordered Commander Brownson. And the greasy black muzzles of the Detroit's broadside and the two pivot guns swung around, looking bigger and bigger every mo purely giving evidence that your waist in their estimation is not exact to represent any particular fit, contented are they in their own on that point they suppose even also holds the same opinions. A delusion never was entertained equally misleading is another take it for granted that every figure clothed in a shirt waist looks closely alike. Is it any wonder constantly see so many disfigure waisted women complacently about our streets entirely satisfied themselves, considering that they beyond criticism when wearing of regulation summer uniform we intended to ignore the form, size, and age of the individual?

Mr. Chynoweth is an honest, straight-forward, consistent legislator. He should be given a rousing majority by Orange county voters just to emphasize their approval of his course. "Trajano, ahoy!" he shouted. "If you fire again, I will return the fire, and if you persist I will sink you." The Trajano's crews were excited. If a nervous finger had pulled a trigger, the fight would have been on. But the shot did not sound. The sailors on the Amy's yawl waited to see what they were to do next.

And the greasy black muzzles of the Detroit's broadside and the two pivot guns swung around, looking bigger and bigger every moment, till they stopped, leveled at the cruiser. One particularly nervous gun crew aboard the insurgent was conspicuous. Commander Brownson waved his hand, with a half smile, and this crew fell back. Then the Yankee ships led the way to the docks, with other ships crowding in with them, and after awhile the rebellion collapsed. But the sailors who were on the Detroit at that time have told the story of Commander Brownson's smile to other sailors, and these to still others, till it has rippled to every water where the starry flag flies, and it is heard with marked interest by men on the ships of other nations—men who have seen smiling men fight—New York Sun.

Several clergymen boarded a street car in Boston one day, and one of them hearing that Wendell Phillips was in the car got up and asked the conductor to point him out.

The shirt waist is undoubtedly the most tidy and sensible waist ever invented for certain uses, for certain perms, and it is hoped will always be worn.

"Why," said the clergyman, "do you not go south and kick up this fuss and leave the north in peace?" Mr. Phillips was not in the least ruffled, and answered smilingly: "You sir, I presume, are a minister of the gospel!" "I am, sir," said the clergyman. "And your calling is to save souls from hell?"

Mankind needs a herald, like the heralds of old, to claim so that all may hear, the vital importance of health. The average man of to-day thinks it beneath his dignity to bother about his health until it is gone. Even then he only takes measures to restore it in an indifferent, contemptuous sort of way. Men cannot learn too soon that health is the most important thing in life—in fact, is life. Without it the most brilliant man will be a failure, and the most robust man will rapidly become a physical wreck. The man who neglects the little headaches, the loss of appetite and sleep, nervousness, hot flushes, cold chills, heavy head, lax muscles, and the multitude of bad feelings that are heralds of approaching sickness and disease, must pay a tremendous penalty. For men who suffer in this way there is no medicine equal to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It sharpens the appetite, corrects all disorders of the digestion, invigorates the liver, makes the assimilation of the food perfect, purifies the food and enriches it with the life-giving elements that build new, healthy flesh. It the great blood-maker and flesh-builder, cures 88 per cent. of all cases of concomitant and is the best of all known remedies for nervous troubles. Thousands have told, over their own signatures, the stories of the wonderdid has performed. Honest dealers will not urge a substitute for the sake of a little extra profit. Thomas Pletcher, of Clinton Station, Fairfax County, Va., writes: "I suffered terrible tortures ten years with gauntliness (pain in the armchack). I then took air balloon of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which completely cured me." When the bowels are regular the body will feel good and the mind will be active. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure concomitant. One little "Pellet" is a gentle exotic, and two a mild cathartic. They never gripe. All good dealers sell them and have nothing else "just as good." Mankind does a man's lawful title to his real estate extend up to the sky as well as down to the center of the earth? Lawyer—Certainly. Old Scrooge—Then as soon as they get these new airships in running order I'm going to put up a tollgate on the patch of sky over my house and collect from every balloonatic that trespasses. London Tit-Bits. The Lytton Motto. The family motto of the Bulwer Lytton house is singularly inappropriate for people whose fame has been won with pen instead of with sword. It is, "This is the work of valor." Woman's Ills are as often caused by kidney disease as by affections of the womb. Among the most certain symptoms of this disease are Backache, Bad Complexion, A Tired Feeling, Depressed Spirits, Headache, Nervousness, Sideache, Neuralgia, Too Frequent Urination, Dragging Pains, etc. These can be CURED "I can heartily recommend your Sparagus Kidney Pills to any woman afflicted with those distressing pains in the back and sides and kidney weakness, for they have cured me. For several years I have been troubled with backache, bearing down pains and urinary trouble. Nothing succeeded in relieving me, until I got a box of Dr. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills. I began to feel better the first few days, and never felt better in my life than I do now." Mrs. M. C. Morgan, East Jefferson St., Los Angeles, Cal. Dr. Hobbs SPARAGUS Kidney Pills.

The monkey's greatest pleasure is to imitate. He imitates everything which is "Hinglish, don't you know." He talks and walks with an accent, leaves the last button of his vest unbuttoned and rolls up his trousers on the slightest provocation. But few monkeys support themselves. The majority are kept in cash by mamma or papa and the rest live on cheek. The monkey is an unconsciously humorous animal, affording much amusement wherever he goes. He possesses many peculiar physical characteristics, some of the most striking being that he is narrow chested, pigeontoed, noodle headed and addicted to cigarettes. He has a peculiarly constructed mind (so called), in which there is room only for thoughts pertaining to dress and the delusion that he is peerless as captivator of feminine hearts. Monkeys, as a rule, don't live long. Either they die of cigarette smoking or their papas make them buckle down to work, when, in most cases, they cease to be monkeys.—New York World. Warning. While I was resting today in the parlor my hair was cut off by an unknown person. All persons are warned against buying it. Hans Adolar, Poet and Composer.—Fliiegende Blatter. Lowering of the Great Lakes. W. S. Harwood writes of "The Great Lakes" in St. Nicholas. Mr. Harwood says: Geologists point out the fact that this chain of lakes has not always been as it now is; that there was a time when all the lakes were blended into one, having probably the Mississippi river for its outlet to the gulf on the south. One geologist says: Every day sees something taken from the rocky barrier of Niagara, and geologically speaking at no very remote time our great lakes will have shared the fate of those which once existed in the great far west. Already they have been reduced to less than one-half their former area, and the water level has been depressed 800 feet or more. The process is pretty sure to go on until they are completely emptied. The cities that stand upon their banks will ere that time have grown colossal in size, then gray with age, then fall into decadence and their sites be long forgotten, but in the sediments that are now accumulating in these lake basins will lie many a wreck and skeleton, tree trunk and floated leaf. Near the city sites and old river mouths these sediments will be full of relics that will illustrate and explain the mingled comedy and tragedy of life. In a certain sense these lakes form one mighty river, draining a region of over 525,000 square miles and finding an outlet for their overflowing water through the swift St. Mary's river at the east end of Superior; through Huron and the St. Clair river and Lake St. Clair and the Detroit river; through Erie and Niagara and Ontario and the St. Lawrence, on to the vast ocean beyond. It is interesting to note that the bottom of Lake Superior, the highest of the lakes, is about 400 feet below the surface of the sea at New York harbor.

Center St. - Near Operahouse About one month ago my child, now fifteen months old, had an attack of diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. I gave it such remedies as are usually given in such cases, but as nothing gave relief, we sent for a physician and it was under his care for a week. At this time the child had been sick for about ten days and was having about twenty-five operations of the bowels every twelve hours, and we were convinced that unless it soon obtained relief it would not live. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended, and I decided to try it. I soon noticed a change for the better; by its continued use a complete cure was brought about and it is now perfectly healthy.—C. L. Boggs, Stump-town, Gilmer Co., W. Va. For sale by P. A. Derge.
