OLD IRONSIDES. HISTORY OF ONE OF THE OLD SHIPS IN THE AMERICAN NAVY. Dismantled In a. Modrrn Navy Yard, She la the Objvct or I'rofound Veneration uu the l'urt or Patriotic People or To day, Who Are I'roud or Her. Not many jR;ople may know that the oM frigate Ctmsiituiion, so renowned in oi:r annul, i.s still iiu luilil amon the vessels of the navy. fcUio is dismantled, as milit be exix'cted at her age, and is kept in that cuu.iilion 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 tbe days of her glory. It was the Constitution that, after the ma'us'plcious oiemntf on laud of our war with Great Britain, eighty years ago, led off a tient;s of Bple ndid victories on tho ea. The honor of the first capture of a British war vessel undoubtedly be longs to the Essex, Captain David Por ter, whose defeat of the Alert occurred six days hefi;re the Constitution de stroyed the Gnerriero. Bu the ls.-.ex canned thirty-two 33 pounders and the Alert only twenty 18 poundera, 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 be a merchantman, were compelled to quit their guns and within eight minutes to strike 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 our 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 calm and through breeze the flight and pursuit 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 Guer riere. It was on Aug. 19, 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 year the Constitution, un der Bainbridge, gained another gre;it 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 ad wounded was very heavy. Finally, in 1815, 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 Use or Electric Fang. 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 irou monitor Mian tonomoh, 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. The Family Cake. "You can't eat your cake and have it," said the wife to her complaining hus band. "And I can"t er.t your.; ;:! ! -'-t rid of it," he replied, branching off into an other division of domestic infelicity. Detroit Press. In the Country Store. Some of the snowbound passengers at one of the depots near Utica were tell insr stories the other day. and & travel ing man was relating his exicrience in a country store in a small town in Jef ferson county. He said ho was there nearly the entire forenoon, ami had oc casion to note tho peculiarities of the storekeeper, who carried a general stock, but a pretty small one. Every little while a customer would come into the store and inquire for some article that the merchant did not happen to have in stock. For instance: "Have you any dried beef, Mr. Cash drawer?" "No, we have no dried beef today, but we have some nice codfish. John, show this lady the codlish." "Do you keep any such thing as wicks for those big, round lamp burners?" "We generally do, but hapien to lie out just now. We have some fine cot ton clotheslines, though. John, show the gentleman the clotheslines." "My gals wanted me to bring them home some confectioner's sugar. Have you got any of it, Cashdrawer?" ! "Sold the last ounce about an hour ago, Henry. We've got an excellent quality of toilet soap, though. John, show Mr. Adams the soap." "Do you keep ready made flannel skirts?" "Have had them all winter, and sold three to a lady yesterday, which cleaned the stock out. But we have a large sup ply of overalls. John, show this lady the overalls." Utica Observer. Civilization and Wilderness. Upon the 1 ,500 miles of the shore of Lake Superior there are living now less than 150,000 persons, and these are mainly in bustling cities like Duluth. Superior and Marquette, in industrial colonies like Calumet and Red Jacket, or in struggling little ports like Fort William and Port Arthur. Even there the wilderness and primeval conditions are face to face with the robust civiliza tion which is shouldering its way as cap ital is accustomed to do rather than as natural growth usually asserts itself. Not that it is not a wholly natural growth which we find at all points on the lako shore, for it is all in response to the inex orable laws of supply and demand. Yet the communities there have sprung into being far apart from well settled regions in answer to these laws. Thus it happens that today one may ride in an electric street car to the start ing point for a short walk to a trout stream, or one may take the steam rail road and in an hour alight at a forest station, breakfasting there, but enjoy ing for luncheon a cut of the deer or a dish of the trout or the partridge which he has killed for the purpose. It is, so to say, a region wherein the wholesale fisherman with his steamboat disturbs the red man who is spearing a fish for Bttpper, where the wolf blinks in the glare of the electric lamp, and where the patent stump puller and the beaver work side by side. Julian Ralph in Harpers The Moqal Indians. A hundred miles north of the Petrified forest and well into the edge of the Ari rona desert are the seven strange and seldom visited Pueblo cities of MoquL They all hj -e wildly unpronounceable names, like laualpi, A-hua-tu and Mish-ongop-avi, and all are built on the sum mits of almost inaccessible mesas islands of solid rock, whose generally perpendicular cliff walls rise high from the surrounding plain. They are very remarkable towns in appearance, set upon dizzy sites, with quaint terraced houses of adobe, and queer little corrals for the animals in nooks and angles of the cliff, and giving far outlook across the browns and yellows and the spectral peaks of that weird plain. But they look not half so remarkable as they are. ' The most remote from civilization of all the Pueblos, the least affected by the Spanish influence which so wonderfully ruled over the enormous area of the southwest, and practically untouched by the later Saxon influence, the Indians of the Moqui towns retain almost entirely their wonderful customs of before the conquest. Their languages are different from those of any other of the Pueblos; and their mode of life though to a hasty glance the same is in many ways un like that of tiieir brethren in New Mex ico. Charles F. Lummis in St. Nicholas A Detroit Man's Cane. A Detroit man has a novel walking cane that represents the work of odd hours every day for six weeks. It is made of old jiostage stamps of various denominations and six nationalities United States, Canadian, English, French, German and Italian. It took 5,01 1 stamps to make a cane. The face value of the stamps was $100. The sur face of the cane, when the stamps were all on, was filed smooth and finished un til it glazed. A heavy gold knob com pletes one of the handsomest and most unique canes ever seen in Detroit. Philadelphia Ledger. Telling the Ilcea. The curious custom of "telling the bees" is observed in some parts of nearly every country in the world. Those who observe the custom always go to the bee hives and tap gently on each one, then Btoop and whisper under the cap or lid that Marj-, Jane, Tbtjmas or William is dead. This is done to keep the little honeymakers from forsaking their place of abode should they have to wait and find out the news of the calamity them selves. The custom is alluded to in Whittier's poem, "Telling the Bees." St. Louis Republic East and West. The failure of the people of the Atlan tic states to understand the area, condi tions, products and needs of the west is not infrequently illustrated in national legislation. The late Editor Bundy, of the New York Mail and Express, said a short time before his death: "The peopla of tlie east know little about the west, but 1 have always fon:il that the people of the west were well in formed about the east."
