Nnpoloon ever believed thnt Traf
algar cost blm England. Not until the
day of his death on St. Helena did he
cease to berate the unfortunate Ad
mlral Vlllcneuvc, who lost the day,
lost his licet and In losing the latter
lost for Nnpoloon all chance of trans
porting safely across the channel the
great French army which lay at
Boulogne ready for the crossing In
flatbonts the moment the menace of
the British navy could be removed.
Nelson, having chased the allied
French and Spanish fleet to the West
Indies and back, was doing watchdog
duty off Cadiz wherein lay the French
and tho Spanlnrds, 84 sail of the line
and 7 frigates. Vellencuve was
distrustful of the skill of his crews
land tho equipment of his vessels. Nn
'poloon was in a rage at Vllleneuve,
whom ho denounced for "excessive.
pusillanimity" and to replace whom he
(started Itoslly for Cadiz. Vllleneuve,
hearing of his Intended successor's
approach and possessing certain dls
'cretlonnry orders which directed him
,to proceed to Naples, fighting the
lEngllsh should he encounter them in
I Inferior number, put to sea, lenvlng
one of his ships behind him. Thereup
on Nelson, with 27 sail of the line nnd
'four frigates, sprang at his throat.
The action was fought on the twenty-first
of October, 1805. Nelson, corn
lag on deck at daylight, could see the
enemy In line of battle 12 miles to
leeward. His captains already pos
sessed his memorandum of battle,
'which called for attack In two columns,
ono led by Colllngwood in the Royal
Sovereign and one by Nelson himself
In tho Victory. Nelson, however, wob
far too able a man to expect rigid ad
herenco to any rule of thumb pro
gram. His memorandum made broad
provisions. "No captain," he wrote,
"can do wrong if he places his ship
alongside that of an enemy."
To meet tho attack Vllleneuve
formed in double column, his line curv
ing something nftcr the fashion of a
crescent Nelson observed this dispo
sition with approval. Attack at once,
be directed, and hoisted his famous last
signal: "England expects every man
to do his duty."
To cut the enemy's escape, Nelson's
column was headed about two points
farther north than waB Colllngwood's.
In consequence it was this latter offl
Tear In his fast-sailing flagship who
first came into action. The Royal Sov
ereign plunged into the enemy line
Jnst astern of the Spanish Admiral
Alava's craft, the big three decker,
Santa Anna, which caught the Sover
eign's starboard broadside.
Colllngwood was in his element.
"What would Nelson give to be here 1"
he cried to Rotherharo, his captain.
Nelson for his port called Colllngwood
a "noble fellow," as tho Victory, flying
every battle ensign her flag locker
would yield, plunged into the fighting.
The admiral headed for his old ac
quaintance, the Santlsslma Trinidad, a
huge craft of no less than four decks,
which greeted him with a terrific blast
from her tiers of cannon. Scott, the
admiral's secretary, fell at the first
fire. A double-headed shot mowed
eight marines, drawn up with the
guard close by tho Admiral's side. An
other shot whizzed between Nelson and
Hardy, the Victory's commander.
"Warm work," Bald Nelson; "Too
warm to last long."
In the tops of the enemy's ships
soldier rifleman were busily at work.
To them Nelson, in his admiral's uni
form, with four stars of the orders
with which he was invested on his
left breast, was a shining mark. Beat
,ty, the Victory's surgeon, nnd Scott,
iher chaplain, begged him to remove
these decorations, but Nelson an
swered: "In honor I gained them and
in honor I will die with them."
No less than CO men aboard the Vic
tory had been killed before she fired a
gun. Then she was laid along side
the Redoubtable, her guns touching
the French ship through the timber of
which their shot went crashing. Her
larboard battery, meanwhile, was
huslly engaged with the Bucentaure,
Vllleneuvo's flagship, and the Santls
slma' Trinidad. Harvey, who saw her
thus engaged from the Temcralrc, de
clared afterward that she Bcemed to
belch fire. All the other British ships
were similarly occupied. The cannon
ade was terrifllc, the slaughter dread
ful. Tho French and Spanish, who for
the most part bad gono into action
without flags, wero now producing
them in order to surrender. Vll
leneuvo's fleet was being knocked to
pieces about him.
Twice Nelson gave the order to cease
firing upon tho Redoubtable, believing
she had struck, but it was from this
vessel that he received his death. An
Infantryman in her ralzzcn top took
careful aim at the gallant figure on
tho Victory's quarterdeck and sent a
musket ball through the epaulet on hl3
left shoulder. IIo fell upon his faco In
the pool of blood left by Scott, his dead
secretary. Adair and his marines
sprang to tho stricken admiral's side.
"They havo done for me nt last,
Hardy," ho said. "My backbone Is shot
through."
And as they were carrying him be
low he gave orders that tho severed
.tiller ropes be replaced, the while bo

covered his face nnd his stars with
his handkerchief that neither the ene
my nor his own gallant seamen might
know who It was that was dying.
In the cockpit, where he waved
nway the surgeon, declaring thut'tlrao
spent on him was but wasted, when
it might save the life of some other
man, the admiral could hear the crew
of tho Victory cheering us shin after
ship In the enemy line hauled down her
colors.
"I hope," sold the dying leader, "no
English ship has struck."
"No fear," onswered Hnrdy.
"Then I nm satisfied," whispered
Nelson. "Thank God I have done my
duty."
A little later he asked the sorrowing
Hardy to kiss him. Afterward he com
minded to the enre of his nation Lady
Hamilton and his daughter, Horatln.
Then three hours nfter he hud sus
tained his wound nnd with the splendid
triumph wrought by his skill and
bravery all nbout him, he died.
Of the nllled fleet no less than 18
Nelson hnd predicted 20 surrendered
to the English. Four of the van who
escaped subsequently fell victims to
the squadron of Sir Richard Strnchun.
Only 11 craft of the squadron limped
"mck Into Cadiz where they lay qui
escent' under Rosily until forced to
surrender to the Spanlnrds by the out
break of the Peninsular war. Napole
on's plan for the Invasion of England
could no longer possess existence.
HE TRIED TO QUIT TOBACCO
Tokyo Lawyer, After Months of Ab.
tlnence, Resumed Smoking on
"Doctor's Orders."
A prominent Tokyo barrlster-nt-lnw,
Mr. Masuo Socda, has long been a lov
er of tobacco and so have the mem
bers of his family, says East and West.
Most of the servants In his household
were likewise addicted to "the weed."
One day last winter Mr. Soeda unex
pectedly Issued an anti-tobacco proc
lamation 1 He assembled the entire
household and delivered a tirade
against the poisonous effects of nlco
tlno upon the human system. From
the viewpoints of physical welfare,
moral well being and national econo
my, he commanded his domestic audi
tors to follow his example by ceasing
the use of tobacco. All pipes, ash
trays, cigars, cigarettes and humidors
were burned or destroyed. The strug
gle was difficult for some of the fam
ily, but they were strengthened by the
example of the master of the house.
On June 1, however, Mr. Soeda was
seen to light a cigar while seated In
his library. A cynical friend, who had
grumbled about the lawyer's prohibi
tion of tobacco, exclaimed :
"So, you've been smoking on the sly,
despite your resolution 1"
"Not at all; this Is my first cigar
In five months," was the reply. "My
physician thinks he has detected symp
toms of fatty degeneration of my heart
and has recommended tobacco as at
antidote. Therefore, I have begun tak
lng my medicine. That's all."
Many Indian Languages.
Before you write the government or
the Smlthsonlnn Institution and re
quest it to send you the Indian namo
for this or thnt thing, bear in mind
that there Is no one American Indian
language, says the Popular Science
Monthly. On the contrary, there are
no less than one thousand languages
In the two Americas and practically
five hundred distinct Indian languages
north of Mexico. Thus, It is impossible
to give the Indian word for any Eng
lish equivalent. If you do receive an
answer to your Inquiry, the word given
Is probably chosen from tho language
of the tribe which once Inhabited the
particular part of tho country from
which the request comes.
The Rolling Stone
Whatever may be our estimate of
the man we call a rolling stone, It is
well to recognize that he Is Incorrigi
ble. No consideration of the temporal
prosperity that perseverance In things
unpleasant may bring has the slight
est power to influence him. Reprove
his restlessness, shut him up with a
ledger In your office, you will not make
him content. He has no fear of being
set adrift In the world 'without re
sources, for of his chief resource his
readiness to seek adventures brave
nnd now no mnn enn ever deprivo
him. He ennnot be fitted to our ordi
nary measures. Ills delight is set urx
on a different kind of life. Exchange

Happiness and Pleasure.
Ignorance confounds happiness with
pleasure. Pleasure comes from with
out, happiness from within. People
may bo very gay and profoundly mis
erable. By the same token they may
bo really rich, yet actually poor. In
either case their condition Is duo to
tho fact that tho happiness which they
sought, they sought for themselves.
Therein Is tho poignant error of life.
People who seek happiness for them
selves fall to find It. But they who
succeed In securing it for others, dis
cover that on them also It has been be
stowed. Edgar Saltus.

PSALMS OF DELIVERANCE.
LESSON TEXT-Pfalma 86 nnd 126.
GOLDEN TEXT They thnt bow In
tears shall renp In Joy. Pinlmn 126:5.
These Psalms breathe he spirit of
the true pntrlot. The Psalmist sees
his nflllcted country suffering for the
sins of the people, prays for their
restoration to the Divine favor, nnd
with the eagle eye of faith anticipates
the Joyful day of spiritual nnd tem
poral blessings because of restoration
to the Divine favor. Doubtless such
patriotism would be pleasing to the
Lord on the part of us nil.
Psalm 85.
I. Praises for Mercies Received
(vv. 1-3).
Praise Is given for
(1) Deliverance from Captivity (v.
1).
He hnd In mind the specific mercies
of n given time; perhaps It was one
of the oppressions of the Philistines
from which they hnd been delivered.
(2) Forgiveness of Sin (vv. 2, 3).
"Thou hnst forgiven the Iniquity
covered nil their sin." God's restora
tion was "the proof that he had par
doned. Grent Indeed was the sin oi
Jncob, but God's forgiveness wns great
er. He Is peculiarly a God of mercy.
Having forgiven the sins his anger Is
taken nway. He stayed his hand from
the Judgment which would hnve Justly
fallen, to show his mercy. ,
II. Prayer for Restoration From
Backsliding (vv. 4-7).
He knew how worthless the outward
blessings of the Lord would bo unless
the people inwardly turned to tho
Lord. He, therefore, besought tho
Lord to give them the greater blessing,
thnt of a change of heart. Without the
chnnge of heart forgiveness would be
futile. A change of heart can only be
by God's help.
(1) Thnt God would turn the hearts
of his peoplo toward himself (v. 4).
Knowing the people's utter helpless
ness to turn to God, he cried out to
God to save them by turning them to
himself. He knew that God's angei
could not turn from the people as long
as they were Impenitent.
(2) That God would take awny the
very remembrance of their sins (w.
5-7).
(a) The ending of his anger (v. 5).
The desire seems to be that he would
wipe out the very marks of his dis
pleasure by not longer allowing pun
ishment to be meted out to them.
(b) The return to the people's Joy
(v. 6).
Their Joy could only be realized
through a revival from God. The
Psalmist now becomes more bold In his
requests.
(c) Shall show them mercy (v. 7).
"Mnko It visible," is his cry. God's
Judgment was most real. His desire is
that his mercy would be just as real.
III. Exultant Anticipation (vv. 8-18).
Having spoken the sentiment of the
repentant people, tho poet expresses
confidence of the Lord's response. So
faithful is God that those who sin
cerely pray to him can go forward
with the assurance of petitions granted.
(1) "He will speak peace" (v. 8).
He knew that a gentle answer would
come, but its continuance would de
pend upon tho fidelity of the people.
Turning to toy would provoke again
his wrath.
(2) Will bring his salvation near
(v. 0).
Only as his salvation was near could
glory be in the land.
(3) Devise a way by which "Mercy
and truth," "Righteousness and peace,"
may bo united (vv. 10, 11).
He did not suggest a way. He may
not havo known it Faith now sees
tho way in Christ. In him such a
union has been blessedly effected,
(4) The land shall become fruitful
(v. 11).
When sin is removed, temporal pros
perity shall follow. Earth's barren
ness Is duo to sin. When the curse Is
removed frultfulness shall follow.
(5) Righteousness shall be the
guide of his people (v. 12).
In that golden, glad age God's right
eous ways will leuve a track In which
his own may walk with security.
. Psalm 120.
I. The Fact of Zlon's Deliverance
(w. 1, 2).
(1) By whom (v. 1). The Lord.
(2) Effect of (vv. 1,2).
(a) The people wero scarcely able
to believe It. So sudden and unexpect
ed was their deliverance thnt It
seemed to them as a dream. They ex
pressed their feeling in Joyful laughter.
(b) The heathen noted their deliver
ance as marvelous, and ascribed It to
God (v. 2).
Song and Prayer.
II. The Song of the People (v. 8).
They ascribed their deliverance to
the Lord nnd expressed their grutitude
in singing God's praise.
III. The Prayer (v. 4).
The peoplo cried to God to visit their
restoration with frultfulness, even :
tho streams from tho South spread out
and mnko a country fruitful. ,
IV. The Promise (vv. 0, 0).
Though tho peoplo wero still obliged
to suffer the consequences of their
sins, they wero encouraged to go on
In sowing though In tears, as the reap
ing would bring joy.

SERUM FOR RAT-BITE FEVER
Japanexr Physicians Declare Cure le
Obtained From Veins of Persons
Who Have Recovered.
A group of eminent Japanese doc
tors 1ms been busy studying rnt-blto
fever ever slnco Futnkl, Ishtwarn nnd
tlielr associates reported two years ago
the discovery of the microbe that
causes It. This Is a spirochete, so
called hecouse Its form Is spiral or
zig-zag. Several types of this spiro
chete wero found In men who had been
bitten by rats, and In guinea pigs that
had been experimentally Inoculated.
These were Identified by Futnkl as In
all probability Identical.
Doctors ltenjlro, Knncko nnd Klkuzo
Okudn of the Imperial University In
Kyushu, Fukuokn, Japan, contribute
to tho Journal of Experimental Medi
cine n confirmation of Futnkl's belief;
Doctor Ityoklchl Inada contributes n
description of the disease ; Doctors Yu
taka Ido, Itokuto Holt, Illrosht Ito nnd
Hldctsune Wan! describo experiments
that provo tho rat to bo the common
carrier of the Splrocheta Ictcrohacraor
rhnglca, as the microbe of the disease
Is called ; and Doctors Yutnka Ido, HI
roshi Ito, Hldctsune Witnl and Klkuzo
Okudn discuss the possibility of pro
ducing Immunity.
The latter go Into details of their
experiments nnd come to the conclu
sion thnt tho "scrum of persons who
hnve recovered from rnt-blto fever con
tains nn Immune body which destroys
the spirochetes of that disease."
Tho Importance of these articles lies
In the final proof that this splrochcto
Is the cause of the fever, that ruts arc

Over the Fence and Out.
At the Clhsoii county fair at Prince
ton there are places when1 the fences
must be guarded to keep hoys and
others from swarming over nnd In,
snys the IiidlnnaiHillK News. This
year one of the nmatenr policemen
appointed for a long strip of fence sat
down In the shade and fell asleep. Ren
Murphy, president of the association,
chanced to see a long, gangling youth
climb the fence there. "You'll have
to pay or get out," he told the youth.
"Clot no money; ruckm I'll get out,"
was the response. "No, on second
thought," said Murphy, "I'll let you
stay In on condition. You go wake that
policeman uuil tell lilin you climbed In
over the fence."
"Shuck", then eh'll throw me out."
"Try It, anyway," said the presi
dent: "you'll get to stay."
Long Boy did as bidden. "I climbed
over the fence," he told the aroused
watchman.
"What!" cxclnlmed thnt Individual.
"Then right out you go."
He dragged the youth toward a gate,
but tho youngster yelled lustily to Mr.
Murphy nnd he came up.
"I'm putting this hoodlum out." ex
plained the policeman; "he climbed
the fence."
"He said he did," snapped back the
association head, "but I told him to
stay and hnve appointed him to keep
you awake. Turn him loose."
Long Hoy saw the fair, but nn more
of his kind got over tho fence that
day.
Timorous Lover.
A woman went Into a store for a pair
of slippers. She asked the shop as

and she wnntcd them squeaky,
"They are for my fnther," she added.
"Squeaky, miss? I'm afraid we havo
not got any of thnt kind."
"Couldn't you mnke him a pair of
squeaky ones?" asked the young wom
an. "There Is a young man who visits
me frequently, and It would be very
convenient for him to know Just when
pa Is coming downstnlrs."
