7 J SMOKED FOR OVER Has been popular with smokers everywhere for over twenty-five years. It is Just as Good Now as Ever. Its Flavor, Fragrance and Purity have contributed largely to the growing popularity which pipe smoking enjoys. Pipe smoking is growing in favor because finer, sweeter and better tobacco can be had in this form and at much less cost than in cigars. BLACKWELL'S DURHAM TOBACCO CO., DURHAM, N. C.

Dlaruantled in a nioli-rn Navy Yard, She la the lject of I'Tofound Yeneratlun on tli I'urt t,r I'tttriotlo I'eople of To il U), liu Are) i'ruud of Her. Not many poile may know that the old friat- Constitution, so renowmtl in our annals, is htill inclndfd anions the vessels of the navy. She is dismantled, a.s mitfht 1? expecteil at her aye, and is kept in that condition at Portsmouth, N. II. She is a craft of 2,200 tons dis placement, and now carries no battery in place of the forty-four guns of the days of her glory. It was the Constitution that, after the inausj Scions opening on land of our war with limit Britain, eighty years ago, led off a series of splendid victories on the sea. The honor of the first capture of a British war vessel undoubtedly be longs to the Essex, Captain David Por ter, whoso defeat of the Alert occurred six days before the Constitution de stroyed the (iuerriere. But the Essex carried thirty-two im pounders and the Alert only twenty Im pounders, so that very soon after open ing fire the crew of the little British craft, which, having captured one of our transports had made up to the Essex, taking her to le a merchantman, weie compiled to quit their guns and within eight minutes to btrike their flag. This conquest, though gratifying, was in evitable, whereas that of the Constitu tion was gained over a craft nearer her own size and strength. But while yielding the laurels of prior ity to the gallant Essex on this score, the Constitution, under Captain Isaac Hull, can claim them again for success in a trial of seamanship between herself and a British squadron. Till then af fairs were looking gloomy for us at sea as well as on land. The British frigate Belvidere, while convoying a fleet of merchantmen, had escaped from a whole squadron of our warships, where as onr Nautilus had struck to an English squadron, being the first war ship captured on either side. Under these untoward circumstances the Con stitution, returning from Europe, fell in with a British squadron led by the Africa, a 64-gun ship. During four days she was chased by this squadron. Through cairn and through breeze the flight and pursnit went on. At one time she had boats out towing her; at another her crew were hauling upon a kedge anchor that had been carried out and dropped a long dis tance ahead. On the fourth day the longed for wind came, and with every sail set the Constitution drew away from her pursuers, the scene when five frig ates were standing on the same tack and the Constitution was showing her heels to her enemies being often recounted eighty years ago. Some of the historians describe this as the first of our triumphs on the sea in that war. But in our time, of course, the fame of the Constitution is more familiarly associated with her capture of the Ouer riere. It was on Aug. l'J, 1812, that the two vessels met, both eager for a fight. The scene was off the coast of Massachu setts. The British craft, commanded by the gallant Dacres, was first to open fire, but Hull maneuvered his vessel into the right position before he replied. The enemy's mizzenmast soon went by the board, followed by her mainmast. When she struck she was, in fact, so complete ly used up that she could not be taken into port and had to be blown up. The Constitution was superior in ton nage and complement, carried more guns and threw a much heavier weight of metal in her broadsides; still the ves sels were near enough matched for the victory to produce a tremendous impres sion on both sides of the ocean. Alison describes the "shock of this unwonted naval disaster" in England, where the belief that Britannia ruled the waves was so profound that the American navy had seemed to be a mere mouthful for her. That same j ear the Constitution, un der Bainbridge, gained another great victory over the Java, off the coast of Brazil. The Java, like her predecessor, was a 38-gun ship, and in the battle she lost foremast and mizzenmast, besides a part of her bowsprit; while, to complete the parallel, like the Guerriere, she was so wrecked in the fight that she had to be blown up. It was a great exhibition of good seamanship and superior gun nery on the part of the American vessel; for, as Cooper says, 'the Java had been literally picked to pieces by shot, spar following spar until she had not one left." Her loss in killed and wounded was very heavy. Finally, in 1813, under command of Commodore Stewart, the famous old ship made a double capture of the British frigate Cyane and sloop Levant. Old Ironsides, as she had come to be called during the war, was launched at Boston in 1797; and who knows but when the hundredth anniversary of that event comes around she may again be put into commission, so as to receive cen tennial honors? New York Sun. A Novel Vs of Electric FaiiB. The little electric motor and the swift ly revolving fan are familiar objects, and many a heated brow has been cooled by their combination. But the electric fan has recently found its way into a strange place, none other than the tur rets of the powerful iron monitor Mian touomoh, where the company has placed four of its perfected fan outfits. These are not, as might be supposed, to cool off the gunners, but to blow away the smoke from the guns. This certainly is a novel use for the electric fan. Elec tricity. Tlie Family Cake. "You can't eat your cake and have it," said the wife to her complaining hus band. "And 1 can't eat j-ours and get rid of it," he replied, branching off into an other division of domestic infelicity. Detroit v Press. An Oillcrr li IIk MllitlK. "Did it e r occur to you," said a West Point graduate and a national guards man the other day, "what it means to lu a popular oliicer in the national guard? Something quite different, 1 assure you, from ln ing a popular ohker in the regu lar army. Why? l'or this reason: In the army, if an officer takes care of his uu-ii, sees that they get their clothing and pay promptly, looks out lor their in terests in case they are so unfortunate as to bo looked up in the guardhouse, no matter how strict a disciplinarian ho may le, or how he may make the men stand around, he will bo jopular with them. But here in the guard the rela tionship between officer and men is en tirely changed. The rank and file, who are men that need nosuiervisioii of their personal affairs, exjK'ct their officers to be 'good fellows' socially. "An officer need not bo a strict disci plinarian to be very popular, but it is only fair to say that the majority of na tional guard officers, esjiecially in some of our crack commands, have just as thorough an understanding of military requirements as regular army officers. Everything else being equal, therefore, the popularirj' of tho men may bo com pared as that of a man among employees or among his club equals. 1 mention these facts to ishow how easily a regular army officer could fail to succeed in tin; guard, and, vice versa, how impossible it would be for a guard officer, w'hose easy going society ways are an essential part of his success in his rank, to make a name for himself in the army," Brook lyn Eagle. Pedigree of ItoKton'a "Four Hundred." "Every chap in Boston has been run ning for a pedigree lately," said a good uatured sou of the Emerald Isle yester day at the North End mission, "and some o' them fellers up there on Bacon's Hill, as have been putting their names in the Foor Hundred lately, ought to be ashamed of theirselves for trying to de save people. Sure, one of thein that goes a strutting about with his eyeglass came from just the same stock as meself and has nearly blinded his two eyes looking for his name in the book of martyrs. ."His grandfather and mine came over from the ould country in the ship Mari anne about fifty years ago, wid tho same intention of making a home. "Begorra, there was no aristocrac' on board the Marianne, for he washed tho dishes and me grandfather did chores around the vessel. "And ye should see them now. Know me? Faith, if there wasn't anybody else, in the city to know, they wouldn't know Tim Doherty. "It's nothing but tho ancientness of their families you hear of these days. But we'll all be dead some time and then the families of all of us will be ancient enough to put in the Four Hundred." Boston Herald. Fraud Worth More Than the Original. The art frauds that have taken shape and substance, which remain to incum ber the world as false com ever circulat ing from hand to hand, are of all times and periods. The archaeology of fraud even has become a science; some of the overt and acknowledged frauds them selves have attained the status of pre cious and coveted works, more valuable in the strange gyrations in the wheel of time than the originals they simulated. Michael Angelo's marble Cupid, for in stance, which he made in secret, broke and mutilated, buried in a vineyard, and dug up again himself, all for the express "taking in" a certain cardinal, collector of antique marbles and contemner of modern art, is a case in point. If this particular Cupid could now be identified it would probably be worth more than the most beautiful genuine antique work of its kind which Italian soil still en shrouds. Nineteenth Century. Meat and Water Diet Gives Strength Sir Francis Head tried the diet of the Pampas Indians, which consists of the flesh of mares, for these savages eat neither bread, fruit nor vegetables. He says: After I had been riding three or four months, and had lived on beef and water, I found myself in a condition which I can only describe by saying that I felt that no exertion could kill me, although I con stantly arrived so completely exhausted that I could not speak; yet a few hours' sleep upon my saddle on the ground al ways so completely restored me that for a week I could daily be upon my horse before sunrise, could ride till two or three hours after sunset, and have really tired ten or twelve horses a day. This will explain the immense distances which people in South America are said to ride, which I am confident could only be done on beef and water: To Cut Claits with Shears. A, sheet of glass a window pane for example can be cut as easily as a sheet of cardboard. The secret consists in keeping the glass, the shears and the hands under water during the operation. The glass can be cut in straight or curved lines without a break or a crack. This is because the water deadens the vibrations of the shears and the glass. If the least part of the shears comes out of the water the vibration will be sufficient to mar the success of the experiment. L'lllustratiou. , A Candid Iteply. "Now be honest," said the second party to a horse deal, as he slipjied the halter on his exchange. "Is the animal worth carrying home?" "No," replied the former owner frank ly, "he ain't, but he's worth leading home, if you're going in that direction." Kate Field's Washington. America's Seven M'uudrro.
