The world concedes that Leo XIII. is ono
of the ablest nnd most remarkable men of
the century , whoso grasp Is firm enough to
govern nuccexsfully tha most powerful and
extensive organization that exists , and
whoso broad sympathy has embraced Iho
, ( cntlro Held of human aspirations nnd In
terests. The condition in which ho found
, the church , the embarrassments under
which ho has labored , the obstacles ho had
to overcome , measured beside Its progress
slnco he assumed sovereignty In 1878 , proves
him to bo otio of the greatest masters of
.politics and diplomacy ns well ns of religious
propaganda. Few men have had a keener
appreciation of the political tendencies of
these times , and no leader of men has con
formed more skillfully to the world's ad
vancement and Iho constant evolution of
thought , discovery , commerce and govern-
menu IIo Is Hie most liberal and demo
cratic of nil the pontiffs that have been and
his sympathies are with the party of progress
everywhere.
The holy father Is a man of exceedingly
frail frame and small stuture. I am told
that his attendant picks him up and carries
him about the Vatican as If he were a child.
Ills health has nlways been delicate , and the
strongest argument offered In the conclave
ngalnst his election to the papacy was that
he could endure the cares and responsibilities
of tie ( office- but a few months.
But Fra Antonio March ] , who had known
lilm from boyhood , said :
"Nonsense ! Leo- will reign as pope for
twenty years ! "
: Ha has survived for sixteen and has seen
many strong mon die around him , but now ,
passing Into his 85th year , Europe would not
bo surprised nt nny time to hoar of his
death.
A few months ago the pope asked a physi
cian to tell him frankly how long his frail
body might last.
"Holy father , " replied the physician , "un
less Bomo acute disease should attack you I
should say that you might live five years
longer. "
< "Flvo years" exclaimed Leo XIII. , "I shall
then'bo 89 , the ngo at which a good Fran
ciscan brother prophesied that I should
die. "
During lost winter ho suffered much
from the grip or Influenza , and on an occa-
( -slon recently , shortly niter receiving the
crown prlnco of Sweden and suite with un
usual ceremonies , ho fainted from exhaus
tion nnd it was feared he would never re
vive.
TUB POPE'S DAILY LIFE.
Ills life 1 an exceed'ti , l.v simple one. He
occupies a single room on the top floor ol the
Vatican and sleeps upon n narrow Iron bed.
The only furniture in the room is a rug
" upon the tiled floor , a plain wash stand , a
fwardrobe , a table and a few chairs. A
gentleman who has seen it tells me that the
i furnlshlnKS are as plain and simple as those
of a peasant's homo and that J100 would re-
1 place the whole. He has a single attendant
, a man named Centra , who was born upon
Ma ancestral estates Carplneto and was
his .body servantfor years while he was still
! a cardinal. This man bathes and dresses
him , attends to his meals , often wheels him
in a rolling chair about the corridors and the
magnificent gardens , and supports him when
, ! no walks. He la at once his butler , valet
" and nuraa , and nljows no other servant near
j , the person 6f his maSter.
( The holy father "spends much time in
prayer and reflection , and some days his
' habit Is to sit for hours in a plain and old-
fashloncd , but comfortable chair'before the
window of his room , which overlooks the
i , willed garden of the Vatican , with his eyes
; t closed and his thoughts upon the policy anfl
K-tho business of the church. At these mo
mcnts lie is never allowed lo be disturbed.
Centra always comes to awaken and dress
i him at 6 o'clock In the morning , after which
he attends mats in a private chapel adjoining
j , his apartments. Often he hears a second
Immediately aftei-whlch he calls his mass ol
'thanksgiving , celebrated by ono of his chap
lains. At 7 he has a simple breakfast of
milkand , coffee and cold bread , nnd then such
official correspondence as requires his at
tention Is laid before him by his secretaries
to whom ho Indicates what disposition shal
bo made of the various matters Involved
Ho speaks , and reads and acts with great de
liberation , although his latter life has been
a remarkable exhibition of nervous onergj
nnd endurance. At 10 o'clock he nlways re
ceives Cardinal Rampolla , tlio papal secretary
of stale , his most trusted nnd able lieuten
ant , and thought by many to be the greatest
man In the church today. Afterward sucl
other officials nt the Vatican as may have
business with him , This generally occupies
the time until noon , when a frugal dinner
t is eaten , and then a siesta is enjoyed.
THE POPE MUST DINE ALONE.
This dinner Illustrates his severesim
plicity. It consists always of some sort ol
nutritious soup ; maccaronl , a slice of roasi
, beef or mutton , n single vegetable
and fruit. Ho drinks freely ot a light red
wlno , which haa for years been furnished
him by a convent of nuns In the south o
I ranco , and never uses any other. IIo takes
his dlnnftr leisurely , to encourage digestion
and while eating usually reads tlio news
papers , or chnta with some ono of the house
hold , although etiquette requires him to ca
nlone. When hla brother , the late Cardtna
Peccl , lived In the Vatican he often sat to
company while the holy father oto hi1
noonday meal , and sometimes when the latte
Insisted upon sharing his food , the cnrdlna
would accept a portion , but Insisted upon
sitting ; at n separate table adjoining tha
of the person to whom he always referred
with great reverence as "My Brother , the
Sovereign Pontiff. "
The pope cannot have a friend to dine with
him. but often asks
a Roman prince , or one
of the cardinals , or some other distinguished
porsonngo to join him ut supper , which Is
Invariably limited to a glass of milk or n cup
of broth with n cold roll , and a glass ofwine
After this siesta , which Is taken In n chair ,
the pope devotes the remainder of the day
to the reception of visitors Tuesdays and
, Fridays being devoted exclusively to foreign
ambassadors and tb rest and recreation.
About 4 o'clock on pleasant days he- goes for
a walk or a drive In the garden , where there
la a winding carriage road about a mlle in
length. On ttormy days ho takes his exercise
, In the corridors of ths Vatican , being usually
accompanied by Mgr. Marrollnl.'the pontifical
master ot ceremonies , whom ho has known
from a child , and educated while he was
archbishop of Perugl ,
The pope formerly used to do much writIng -
Ing of evenings In his study , preparing pontifi
cal decrees and letters of state , but slnco
he has felt the weight of age he retires early
and Marzollnl reads him to sleep.
The greatest honor the pope can pay n
friend or stranger Is to Invite him to mass
In hla private chapel nnd receive the sacrament -
ment from hU own hands. This Is reserved
for kings and emperors , distinguished for
< their fidelity to the church , and for favored
prelates ns a reward for acts ot devotion
DI eminent service.
t , LEO'S FAVORITE PASTIME.
, The favorite pastime ot Leo XIII. , aa It
has been ot many of his predecessors. Is the
composition of Latin poems , but ot late , hla
f. strength haa been equal only to the official
demands upon It. ills poems will doubtless
tx > collected for publication after his death
and will fill a considerable volume , In
January list he composed an ode In
honor of the 00th birthday of Cesire Cautu ,
AD .eminent Italian historian who hat been
his friend from youth , in which ho compare -
> pare * his hero to the setting sun.
During his formal audience * , which lie
continue * to glra with great good nature
Mveral times n week , he sits lu an antique ,
high-backed chair , with leather upholstery ,
i under a scarlet canopy , clad In n roba ot
white , with D scarlet cloak thrown over hlj
shoulder * , but -wclri no crown but his silver
hair. His haud trembles with ago and

but the brilliancy of his eyes , and his clear ,
deep volco furnish a striking contrast. Ht )
spe&kii slowly , enunciates clearly , nerer at
tempting to conceal the humor and human
Interest that hare been among his strongest
characteristics. Ho uses French , Italian or
Latin habitually , and can understand some
.English , although he does not speak it.
Not long ago a beautiful American girl ,
wliose protestantism was stronger than her
onso ot propriety , was among the visitors
n the pope's audience chamber , and to her
urpriso found herself expected to kneel and
Iss his ring. Instinctively she resisted ,
lot n motion or even a thought ot the girl
eemod to escape his holiness , who addressed
ier with a pleasant amlla and said :
"Come , come , my dear , an old man's
ilesslng can not possibly barm so beautiful
heretic as you are. "
HAIIB APPEAHANCES IN PUBLIC.
The pope appears In public very Intro-
.uently , nnd then only to participate In
omo magnificent ceremonial In St. Peter's ,
hlch is attached to the Vatican , and ns
11 know Is the pontifical cathedral. On
hese occasions politics are generally for-
; otten , and oven the most rigid adherents of
civil authorities , are willing to resort to
ny resource to obtain tickets , to the trlb-
nes from which the spectacle may be wit-
icssed. St. Peter's Is so vast that hundreds
f thousands of people can be sheltered by
ts dome , but of these comparatively few
: nn sco what transpires about the altar.
0 man Is admitted to the tribunes unless
c comes In evening dress. Even a black
rav.il. Is sufficient to exclude him , although
e may have a card of admission ; and all
women must wear sombre black without
-onnets. - The foreign ambassadors accred-
ted Id the Vatican , however , appear In their
iplcndld medieval costumes and regalia ; the
Military officers of the Papal guards wear
.heir gorgeous uniforms , nnd the dignitaries
f the church their robes of scarlet , and
urple , their chains of gold , their Jeweled
ecoratlons and other Insignia that Indicate
heir honors nnd their rank , but among
.he crowd that Alls the remainder of the
emple ono finds soldiers and priests nnd
peasants , men , women and children ot nil
aces and colors and casts mingled indls-
rlmlnately , who can hear the sublime music ,
'lit ' see nothing.
The holy father enters from the Vatican
1 the center of the procession. A passage
s cleared for him by the Guarda Nolillo.
s It Is called , an escort ot princes nnJ
les , who accompany him on all ceremonials
menials and arc appointed to that honor
a reward for some gift to or some serv-
oo performed for the church. Following
hem come a band of physicians sounding
liver trumpets , nnd next the college of
ardlnals , gorgeously apparelled , with their
eng , scarlet trains borne by pages In livery.
THE FAMOUS TIIIPLE CROWN
iVith its jewels worth millions of money ,
s now lee heavy for the slender strength
f the pope to bear , so it IB carried before
lim upon a scarlet cushion by some dls-
.Ingulghed noble , usually the high chamber-
aln of the palace. The holy father Is
eated upon the scdla gestatorla , or pontifical
hrono of scarlet and gold , which stands
pen a platform carried by long poles upon
he shoulders o'f ' stalwart guards , while over
ils head Is a canopy of whlto and gray silk
upported by the sixteen chief canons of
.ho church. On cither side of him ore borne
.he four celebrated ostrich feather fans ,
mounted In red and gold and embroidered
irlth tha papal coat of arms.
Ills shrunken frame Is wrapped In a long
white robe , heavily embroidered with gold ,
and a cloak of scarlet satin lined with
ermine falls from his shoulders. A mitre
f cloth of gold , presented to him by Emperor
William of Germany , now protects his head ,
and outside the whlto gloves that cover his
ransparent hands can be- seen the pontifical
Ing , which has been passed down from
wenty-slx generations. . Upon his breast
mngs a cross o'f superb diamonds , and he
: arrles In hjs hand a Jeweled scepter , a sym
bol ot authority. Uchlnd him. follow a group
if ecclesiastics , and another detachment of
he Guarda Noblle , and as the procession
passes through the church ho turns from
side to side , extending his , hands lnnbloss.ng (
iver thu kneeling multitude. As lie passes
hey rise and shout "Viva II Papa ! Viva II
Papa ! Viva Leone ! "
As.ho enters tlmJarge square Space before
ho altar the Guarda Mobile forma cordon
around him , and the occupants of the
tribunes kneel * . Tluncardlnals ore seated In
rows of chairs ; each one With a page kneel
K before him holding his scarlet hat.
The pope formerly ofllcated at mass on ,
hese occasions , but he now sits silently upon
: > ls throne through the service , leaving It
only to participate In the elevation of the
host , and at the close of the celebration to
kneel upon a golden cushion and utter' a
prayer of thanksgiving for the prosperity of
ho church and the prolongation dC his'life.
An attendant then usually brings him a cup
f bouillon , to sustain his strength , for he
has taken no refreshment before mass. At
ho close of the ceremony the procession is
reformed In the same order and returns
hrough the crowd to the palace. At the
statue of St. Peter it pauses for a moment ,
afid the holy father , arising from his
hrone , extends hia arms and Invokes a blcss-
ng upon the multitude. This la followed
by a tromcndouit burst of applause from every
voice , and1 the pageant disappears til the
corridors.
A PRISONER. IN THE VATICAN.
Although the people of Italy are nominally
Catholics , neither the civil nor the eccleslastl
cal authorities Would deem It prudent for the
pope to appear upon the streets of Rome. Po-
Itlcal prejudice Is so fierce , and the Italian
character so stormy , that while no violence
might be offered him , his presence would cer-
alnly provoke a riot and perhaps a revolu
lion. The faithful wculd receive him with
applause and surround his carriage to seek
' .ils . blessing , while'the opponents Of tlio papal
prerogatives would undoubtedly show their re
sentment at such a demonstration , and a col-
Islon would ensue.
The political and financial condition ol
Italy , most severely felt In Rome , Is the cause
of the gravest apprehension , and a spark from
the Vatican might kindle a conflagration thai
the civil authorities could never subdue. Men
of Impartial minds , even among the opponents
of the papacy , are willing to admit that the
antagonism between the Qulrlnal and the
Vatican is the source of the greatest weak
ness to the state , and one that will be felt
when the Impending crisis occurs. The pope
Insists that Rome Is his , and that its occu
pation by the king Is an Invasion of his
sovereign rights , and a cession ot the city
Is the first principle necessary to harmon ;
and peace. The adherents of the papal party
although suppressed and silent , would seize
any opportunity offered by a political revo
lution to enforce his claims to possession , am
their sympathies , are supposed to be with the
radical party , which Is always conspiring for
the overthrow of the throne and the establish
ment of a republic like that of France. U U
the conviction of the most Intelligent and Im
partial of the foreign residents of Homo tha
this event must come , sooner or later , am
that Its culmination will be the restoration o
papal supremacy In the Eternal City.

PIRATE TREASURE ,
'Icrro I.o Oriinil mid thn Sptnltli Tr t nro

BV HOWARD PYL.B. .
FIRST PAPER.
Plerio le Grand , buccaneer and pirate.
Such waa the name and title of the first
t the great freebooters of the West Indies.
There were others \vho came after him as
amous , and even more famous In their time
han he Mansvelt , Bartholomew Portuguese ,
loch Brattllanous , Lolonolsc , and , finally ,
ho great and always to be remembered , Sir
lenry Morgan , the conqueror of Panama and
ho king of the buccaneer pirates.
But Just now It is to b& told of Pierre le
Grand , or Peter the Great , as he would call
Im in English , nnd of haw he captured the
great Spantih treasure- ship , the vice admiral
f the Spanish llota , off Cape Tlburon ,
lown In the hot West Indies , somewhere
ibout the year 1CB5.
The word "buccaneer" does not Itself
mean "pirate. " The buccaneers were really
lurcrs of meat by a process of drying In the
inn , called "buccannlng , " or "buccanecr-
ng. " The man who first invented this pro-
ess of preserving meat was a Scotcu-En-
gllshman , by name Buchanan ; hence , the
narao "bucaneer , " or "buccaneer. "
These men the buccaneers chiefly cen-
ered In the neighborhood of the northwest
east of the Island ot Hlspanlola ( afterward
ailed Santo Domingo ) , and In the nclghbor-
ng Island of Tortuga , or Tortoise , so called
iccauso of its shape , which was like a sea
ortolse floating upon the water.
In this part of the West Indies there were
: rcat herds of wild cuttle , which had been
irought over to thq Americans during the
irevious century by the Spaniards , and
vhlch now roamed at large over the pampas
und through the tropical forests of tlieso two
slands. These the buccaneers hunted and
tilled , cutting up their flesh , drying it In-the
Mm and selling It1 to"tho Spanish .ship cap-
alns who sailed In and but along the 'great '
lahama channel on their way to America
or home again.
The West Indies were at that time the vast
.reasuro house from which Spain drew all
lor wealth. .Ever since the discovery ol the
new world by Columbus , Spain had laid claim
o all that Immense part of the world to all
ho so thousand beautiful Islands scattered
iver the wonderful Caribbean , sea. ; to all 'the
northern coast of South America and 'the
sthmus of Darlen end Panama , and to all ot
he west .coast of the continent bordering the
wide Pacific ocean.
Now , Central and especially South America
are , perhaps , the richest spots for gold and
liver In all the world. There In the fathom-
ess and tangled forests are rivers wliose
ands dally sparkle , with particles < of jthe
precious metal rocks seamed and honey
combed with yellow veins of treasure. Kvery-
vhere Spain , bad. her agents gathering from
his vast storehouse treasures of the precious
metals , which were carried across the ocean
n those queer- old , high-pooped ships und
poured a golden stream Into the coffer : ] of
ho Spanish kng. | {
t
Ot course , all this enormous treasure cjnp-
: Ied out from the row world Into Spain
made the oyier nations of Europe very envi
ous of her.i Nobody fell that , all the great
western'world reallyb Iohged-4o one people
and to one king. Other nations fqlt < hat
they had'Jusfas much- right to bring nivay
from the Americas some of that native sil
ver and gold " as had Spain. Spain , upon thcr
iart , striving"to keep-everythlng for herself ,
sent thither great war ships to keep other
notions from taking from the great molhcr
earth that which tho'Spanish people claimed
Belonged all -themselves. .
So Spain , trying to keep all the rest of
the world out of the West Indies , and nil the
rest of the world striving to get gold nnd
silver for Itself. It came about that for two
centuries , even when the nations of the earth
were nominally at peace , there was war , war
n the West Indies , ceaseless war , bloody
and cruel. " '
Now , when the buccaneers first came to the
Spanish main , as It'was called , they came
there , as was said , not to rob Spain ot her
diver and gold , but to gain money in another
way. Ship captains that came to the Amer
icas had no means , ibtalnlng provisions to
victual theln ships for the return voyage.
There was no flour and no Brain. There
was no meat , and if there had been meat
there was no salt wherewith to cure It. A
ship captain had either to victual a ship for
the round voyage to the West Indies and
return , or else run the risk of falling short
of provisions. Sometimes a ship's crew
would almost starve before they got back to
their qwn country. When Buchanan first
Invented his process ot curing meat , and
when ship captains began lo supply them
selves therewith , he made an enormous
fortune In a little while such a great
fortune that nearly every one that had
nothing else better to do began to turn his
attention to the curing of meat as Buchanan
liad done.
These buccaneer curers of meat were
nearly always English. French and Dutch.
But , as was said , Spain did not allow any
of the other nations to come Into her parts
tit America , So , she trjed to drive the buc
caneers out of Tortuga. The buccaneers ,
upon their part , gathered together Into a
little army and fought the Spaniards. So
began .a war ; flrst favorable to the Span-
lards , then to the buccaneers , which did not
cease for over twenty years , and only termi
nated finally when the buccaneers took
possession of the Island of Tortnga In the
name of' France and drove and kept the
Spaniards out of that island.
After that they buccaneereJ their meat
In comparative peace and quietness until so
many men were hunting1 wild cattle and
drying their meat that the business was no
longer profitable to anybody.
It was Just about this time that Pierre ,
of whom nobody heretofore had ever heard ,
became Pierre le Grand.
He was at that time , living In Tortuga.
He had been , It was said , a native ol
Dieppe , In Normandy , and ffom this faint
distant glimpse wo catch ot him In a queer
little Dutch history published in Amsterdam
far . back 'in 17CS. called ' < Do Amerl-
caensche Zee Iloovor r" wo may , , see
Pierre , a wild , desperate , roving' French1
man , probably the chief of a band of buc
cuneer meat curers as wild and a desperate
aa himself. . .
It was to Pierre lo Grand that It occurred
to carry the war with Spain out Into the
waters ot the Caribbean sea.
These old buccaneers were not only hunters
ot wild cattle and curors of wild cattle meat
they were also skilled and venturesome
sailors. So one day Pierra le Grand set sal
In a lltlle open boat with twenty-eight men
nnd ventured out Into the Bahama channe
In queat of adventuru against the Spaniards
Buccaneer towns In Tortuga must hare
been just such little scattered villages q.
huts , some of stone , but mostly of-wattle
smeared with mud , as they now build Uqwi
In the Weat Indies. The houses stood fating
the naked , dusty streets along which the ;
stood. There were cocoa , palm treea every
where , and bananas and all that thick
luxuriant vegetation -which overruns every
thing with great , thick masses of green
foliage. Up and down the hot , , baked street
and clustered arpund the "ordinary , " o
drinking bouses , were tht * buccaneer them
selves wild , desperate , shaggy menf w.lt
wide brimmed beta ot woven grasses ; wit !
great , baggy breeches and short coats , wit
bell and badnaller and broadsword , and a
musket almost as heavy as a little cannon
A couple of pistols hung from a sling abou
the neck , and a-knife waa thrust In the bell
Buch were the buccaneers , and.lt ivu wjt
such a crew that Pierre le- Grand set sal
in a little open boat and aklmtn&d away
out ot the great wide -waters of Uaham
channel In search of a Spanish boat to fight
It waa not until they tmd reached oft Cap
Tlburon , on the vrett side of Hlspanlola , tba
Pierra and his party fell In with any ad
venture ,
"The boat , " say one historian of thl
dvtnturo. lquU | quaint Kngllsh ot King
'harleiT day ' 'the boat wherein Pierre le
Jrand waa with bis companions had now
been at ten , jujons time without finding
anything , according to his Intent ot piracy ,
ultabto to make n prey. And novr their
irovlslon beginning to fall , they must ot
ecesslty slays. Doing almost reduced to
csntitr , thDw4spled fl great ship of I ho
Spanish flDtaj hlch had separated from tha
est. This bij | jvcsss ) they resolved to set
ipou , and 'nke or die In Iho nt-
ompt. "
This ship Ftho Vice Admiral ot the
Spanish flotnjp F fleet , nnd it was loaded
with gold inS .
It waa abtati l-vcnlng when the pirates
Ighlcd her. g The ship was then probably
Itllng nt ancnbrfa Tinge , unwloldly structure ,
Islng and /ailing an the nloiv ground swell
f the hoi , smooth sea. big and black against
he western evening sky. Far away in the
'Istanco was the scattered fleet , also riding
t anchor. The lltllo open boat with the
juccaneers In 1t Balled toward her. "That
cry day , " say's' the historian , " "the- captain
f the ship had been told by some ot tlio sen-
ncn that a boat whlrjh was In view cruising
was a boat of plrntts. XJnlo whom the cap-
aln , slighting their advice , made answer :
What , then ; must I-bo afraid of such a
> ltlful thingassthat'is ' ? No ; nor though
he were a big s'h'lrVAs'blG ' and-strone as mines
s/ "
So now- Pierre le Grand and his pirates
vere rowing silently toward the plate ship
hrough the dusk i > f the evening that fell ,
is It falls In the tropics , owlftly and sud-
lenl > vThey drew nearer and nearer , and
ho Spaniards did-not see them. Pierre
nndo nil of his til en swear n solemn oath to
stand by him In the hour of coming danger ;
hen he ordered the > surgeon to bore holes tn
ho. bottom of' ' the lltllo boat In which they
vere , so that II would sink beneath them and
hey would have no means ot escape , so that
t would be- either to light and to conquer or
el so to die.
They came nearer nnd nearer the Span-
ards. Now they were very close aboard.
and the great hulk loomed up above them
jlK and still Jti the atherlng darkness and
ho murmuring silence of the tropical night ,
'lerre- and the olhcrs.Jfeachecl out and stopped
ho on-corning of tne little boat. The sur-
; eon had done his work , and It was already
llllng under , them , , the water pouring gur-
gllngly into II , " Ttftre was no longer any

When Horatio Nelson was a lad of 10 he
waa sent to a boarding school. Being
wasted by quinsy and naturally of small
staturetorhisr follow students he seemed
ite insignificant. Ho" was .soon recog
nlxfcl , low-ever , as1' ( he most "daring boy In
the school.
One dark night a council of war waa held
regarding the capture of a pear tree which
stood at a shorUdtstance from the dormitory ,
en every oii.6 t\sj \ > had refused to under
take the job , "Nelson offered hla services.
A rope was "tied around his.waist and he
was literally tossed over on the tree , Though
attended with great exertion and no little dan

in nrintnl of pears , which he Immediately
distributed among Ills school mates. When
asked * .why ho did not keep some for him
self , ho replied that "he did not care for
them , he only did It because the others
were afraid. "
The eatno year he was sent to sea. and
"
tw < > year * later" Joined an Arctic expedi
tion. One morning when their-vessel w
frozen in off the coast of Greenland , Nelson
persuaded two sailors to steal out and kill
a polar bear that had been prowling about.
When , the bear waa attacked It became very
combative and the sailors beat a hasty re
treat , leaving Nelson to follow. Instead ol
doing so , however , he k pt on fighting and
Would certainly have been killed , had not
the Ice on which ho was standing broken
off and floated away. Leaving the ship
waa forbidden and ho was accordingly reprl
manded severely. But from that time he
as rapidly promoted.
"N.ever give up" .seemed to be his motto.
Soon after being appointed captain he was
sent to Naples with , dispatches to'Sir Wil
liam Hamilton , the English ambassador.
Though Nelson was as yet little known ,
Sir William divining his ability , told his

France. Nelson , who for three days had
hardly eaten or slept , now ordered dinner
It was on otUiaeJirom that meal that ho
made the since famous remark , saying
"Gentlemen , by thU time tomorrow I shal
have gained a peerage or Westminster
Abbey. " All the captains were now called
together to decide on the method of attack
Captain Ber"r\ 5ualM o over the plan
adopted , crle * out , "If wo succeed , wha

"There is Ino HfJ , In the caao. " replied
Nelson. "That wo shall succeed Is certain
who mar live to tell the story is a very
different question. " At C30 ; p. m. the battle
began. Nelson had his colors flying from
sic different parts of the rigging , so they
would not be ahottaway. The French began
firlns al long raifce. but the Engllihwere
employed In wrapping the Balls cloae to th
masts and tanking .them with water. Whe
ih y got within a abort distance of th
French , th thirteen English vessels opened
a. terrific broadside and in thirty minutes the
b&ttla Of the Nile had been fought and won.
During tht conflict Nelson was struck on th
forehead by a Ui H. Carried to the cock

to bo attended until hi * turn came , sayinc
"I will take my turn with my brave fellows. '

Mr. Ilnrwln mil IIIn 1-UlllnroriiiB.
in one of his lasl essays Richard Jeffries
referred with great enthusiasm to Mr. Dar
win's book-on earth worms , speaking of it as
especially valuable to the practical farmer , as
well as interesting to the unscientific leveret
ot country Ufa and Held learning.
The book has , moreover , a larger than
common measure of the peculiar charm that
characterizes all Mr. Darwin's literary work ,
the charm of homely Industry and fascinating
research delightfully recorded.
The Introduction speaks of the thin layer
of mold on the earth's surface , the "dirt , "
jommonly supposed to be much.deeper thari
t Is , as being constantly altered and added
: o by the action of earth worms. Astonlsh-

laoe-in a-ycar by ' 'eastings/ ' One Is already
ntercsWd' anfl 'then ready lo otter respect to
Lhe worm , when It is further shown that
earth wo'rms possess Important "mental
qualities. "
A diagram showing the structure of the
worm Is given , but the book deals rather
with the psychology Uian with , the anatomy
of earthworms. The series of experiments
ecorded demonstrating that earth worms
have power of attention , discrimination , and
social Instincts , is delightful , for not only

Tha experiments which were to4tesftHho

It is amusing to follow Mr. Darwin up and
down- the garden walks with Ills'i lantern ,
llerhdps crajyllnj cautiously on his h nds and
knees , surprising the earth worm at Kls
nightly toll the searcher assisted "not In
frequently by * "my sons. " And It Is enter
taining to picture him wlthia covered lantern
personating the moon shedding a dim light
over the flower pot -where the worm colony
were kept to test their sensibility to light.
To see If they objected to change of
temperature , ho drew near tenderly with the
heated poker ; only one of the worms "dashed
Into Us burrow , " which settled the point of
the degree ot development of their tempera
ture sense. . ,
They were taken to the parlor to listen to
the piano and bassoon , fed with familiar
and unfamiliar kinds of food nnd heated In
nil ways with the greatest care nnd consider
ation.
To demonstrate the existence of sense of
touch was less Important ; cveryp.no knows
how III at ease the earth worm Is'out of lU
nntural contact with Common evil , put Dar
win's object was lo find out what n prac
tically deaf , blind and dumb Individual , such
as the earth worm Is , would do Under un
usual conditions to make Itself comfortable.
That worms rarely d6 have a choice In the
matter of food and even architecture IB no
longer absurd , in the light of Mr. Darwin's
years of long researches. But with all these
facts accepted we are still unprepared to
hear that an earth worm Is sometimes ill ,
It Is true that with his ono species of para
site ho is very low in the scale compared
with man , exalted by his several dozen
species.
nut It Is n fact that his one parasite can
cause the earth worm so much discomfort
tGat he crawls away from his cherished
home to die by the wayside in great despair.
There Is Darwin's hearty assurance to com
fort us that the worm really suffers loss ,
