NELSONS FIGHTING MEN
Und Few Ilenxuren and Kneed Death
With u Jest
Of the wooden walls of England
the graxt sailing ships In which Admi
ral Nelson won liis victories and of the
men who worked them a critic writes
Though beautiful to behold and terri
ble to fight with those old men-of-war
were more often than not abodes of
tyranny and wretchedness The vio
lence of the press gangs which seized
men of all ages and occupations was
but a prelude to the oppression that
followed Decent men were herded in
discriminately with rullians the rights
of free born Englishmen were rudely
snatched from them for them thence
forward there was no law save this
will of the captain and the dread arti
cles of war Shore going leave was
nonexistent the food was atrocious
and scanty punishments were barbar
ous and the only thing served out with
any liberality was rum on which the
men got drunk and then were flogged
for that offense at the gratings next
morning
In Nelsons time the seaman had
few pleasures save the prospect of a
hot fight and his dally pint of rum
But to these must be added the vain
glorious satisfaction he took In his
clothes When rigged out In his best
be frequently wore rings in his ears and
silver buckles ou his low shoes his
short blue jacket would be decorated
with gold buttons and colored ribbons
sewed down the seams to give an addi
tional gayety his waistcoat might be
red or canary and a black silk hand
kerchief would be knotted loosely
round his throat As the finishing
touch his hair would be hanging in a
cue down his back The broad collars
were first worn as a protection against
the grease and pomatum used in dress
ing the pigtail
But all these fripperies were dis
carded when the guns were cast loose
from their lashings and the linstocks
were lighted It was the custom of the
men when going into action to strip to
the waist They took their black silk
handkerchiefs and bound them very
tightly round their heads over their
ears so that the roar of the guns might
uot deafen them for life It was re
marked that men going into action al
ways wore a sullen frown however
merry they were in their talk
Methods followed in that day were
curiously primitive and toilsome but
the results were undoubtedly satisfac
tory save to the nameless and number
less sailors who met grim death on the
black and blood stained decks or in the
dark horror of the cockpit That those
hardy and careless men often faced
death or disablement with a jest or a
cheer only renders their unconscious
heroism the more impressive Chica

Four Good Reasons
An amusing incident happened the
other day at a club which had hospi
tably thrown open its doors to two
other clubs A certain well known offi
cer in the brigade of guards was guilty
of the offense of smoking in the morn
ing room As a matter of fact he was
under the impression that it was the
smoking room A brother officer told
him of his mistake lie went up to the
only other occupant of the room an
old gentleman dozing in a corner and
apologized for having inadvertently
broken one of the rules of the club
The old gentleman replied without
haste as follows My dear sir pray
do not apologize In the first place I
am sure you would not have smoked
had you known that it was prohibited
in the second I should be the last per
son to blame you if you had done so
in the third I am not a member of the
club and In the fourth I have just
been smoking myself London Globe
The Empire of Dollars
Wall street is the capital of the em
pire of dollars Like all other capitals
it has its intrigues its favorites its
duels Its cabals and Its camarillas
and like all other capitals It gives its
color to those who spend their lives
there It has even a sort of patriotism
wolf honor which brings its citi
zens together at times in defense of
the dollar and of property rights The
empire of dollars is not altogether a
noble spectacle We are not thrilled at
the mere thought of those Venice bank
ers who financed the crusaders We
do not like to think of those Wall
street manipulators who tried to corner
the gold supply during our civil war
when the nation needed gold Samuel

Tinie For n Change
What shall we do with our parents
There Is my father ruining himself and
me by his willful ignorance and my
mother ruining s by her extrava
gances It is a great development of
the times that the ordinary child who
Is past twenty is altogether better edu
cated more experienced and wiser
than are his parents It has occurred
to mc to suggest that after the eldest
child reaches twenty the parents
should therefore come under the con
trol of the children Letter In London

Belgium Shrimp Fishers
Horses play an important part in
shrimp fishing along the Belgian coast
A procession of weather beaten fisher
men starts from the shore each man
mounted upon the back of a trained
horse dragging the triangular purse
shaped net which scoops in the shrimp
as it passes over the sands These
fishermen on horseback frequently
make hauls -of several hundredweight
in a single trip

Japan Is sometimes called Japanese
women are so small as a rule that a
group of them would often be taken by
foreigners for girls of ten or twelve
were It not for the bauiea on their
backs As is well known the Japanese
mamma ordinarily carries her little boy
or girl pickaback and Jie calls tlu
baby treasure flower Sometimes
even girH of seven or eight carry baby
brothers or sisters on their backs and
as soon as a little miss can toddle she
has her doll and goes about with It
slung over her shoulders as if it wen

ten arduous duties of her sphere the
Nippon woman who has a treasure
flower does not allow it to interfere
with the performance of household la
bors She goes about her toil in the
house or the garden or shop with the
baby on her back and young Japan
learns early to take everything as it

streets of Japanese cities running and
jumping about playing at skipping the
rope and sue childrens diversions the
infants on their backs all the time and

THE WAR LORD
Emperor TVillinm nnd His Interent In
military Affairs
The German emperor is as fond of
martial display as President Roose
velt and like Americas chief magis
trate he knows every detail of war
preparation He has made a very care
ful study of military matters loves to
ride at the head of his troops and would
doubtless lead the German army into
the field if his empire made war
During military maneuvers he often
talks with private soldiers What is
your name he said recently The
question Avas addressed to a soldier of
huge proportions and with a face that
spoke of good humored simplicity and
honesty
I am called Jobanu Andree your
majesty
Andree said the emperor Then

you are the namesake of a very cele

Your majesty means Andree the

Of c now did you come to
hear of him
My captain told me that my name
was the same as his your majesty
And what else has your captain told
you about him
Very little your majesty He only
said that he wished the other Andree
had taken me with him
I dont think your captain meant
that to be taken quite seriously laugh-

t EROCIOUS SuNDSHIP
An Incident In th Itfe nf the Tra
gedian Mnurcady
Between Macready and my brother
Charles existed a kind of ferocious
friendship Macready whatever he
may have been in private life had at
the theater a simply horrible temper
and he was in the habit of using at
rehearsals and even In an undertone
when acting the most abusive lan
guagelanguage which my brother
sometimes passed by with a smile but
which he occasionally hotly resented
He did not mind Macready constantly
addressing him as beast but he ob
jected to having his eyes his limbs
and his internal organs coupled with
Invective terms Yet oddly enough
the great tragedian with whom he
was constantly quarreling had a grim
respect and liking for him He knew
him to be a gentleman and a scholar
and one who was a competent Judge
of picturesque effect and an acute dra
matic critic On one occasion Ma
cready having to play Othello and
my brother not being included In the
cast the tragedian thus addressed him
Beast I want you to go in front to
night and give me afterward a full and
candid opinion as to the merits of my
acting Omit nothing Tell me how I
played and how I looked I have an
idea that I shall surpass myself this
evening Now the great actor used
to go through a tremendous amount of
realistic effort In the part of Othello
and toward the close of the tragedy
would get into such a disorganized
physical condition that he was all per
spiration and foaming at the mouth
and presented a somewhat shocking
spectacle
My brother duly occupied a scat In
the front row of the dress circle and
narroAvly watched the performance
from beginning to end Then he went
behind the scenes and repaired to
Macreadys dressing room The artist
was being disrobed by his dresser and
was panting with excitement in an
armchair
Well beast what was It like
My brother told him that he had de
rived the highest gratification from
the performance and he had never seen
him play Othello more superbly He
was magnificent in his speech to the
Venetian senate the jealousy scenes
with Iagc were splendid the murder
of Desdemona was superb and he died
inimitably Macreadys face lighted up
more and more as my brother answer
ed his many queries
Tis well beast he observed at
last TIs well very well and now
what was my appearance how did I
look beast
My brother cogitated for a moment
and then with perfect candor replied
Like a sweep sir G A Salas
Recollections
Unloaded on the Editor
Soon after arriving In London Justin
McCarthy obtained an introduction to
an editor who had started what was
then the novel feature of publishing
short stories in newspapers Mr Mc
Carthy wrote a story for him and sent
j it in A few days later he called at the
oilice to learn its fate
I hope you can see your way to ac
cept It he said timidly
Yes and sixty more like It replied
the editor
Nothing more was heard of Mr Mc
Carthy for several months When he
eventually put in an appearance at the
office he had a large parcel with him
What have you got there asked
the editor seeing him untie the cord
These are the sixty stories you
asked me to write answered his vis
itor The editor gasped for breath
But I didnt ask you to write any
thing like that number he said
Tou expressed your willingness to
accept sixty stories like the one I wrote
on approval and here they are I
merely took you at your word quoth
the young Irishman Tlie stories were
not refused
Tlie Salamander
In Andrews Anecdotes Ancient and
Modern 17S9 one reads Should a
glass house fire be kept up without ex
tinction for a longer term than seven
years there is no doubt but that sala
mander would be generated In the
cinders This probably accounts for
the popular idea that a salamander
lives in the fire a fallacy so far re
moved from the truth that the curious
lizard like beast so called cannot en
dure even the heat of the sun but
skulks away under stones to avoid It
It will never lose its reputation for
fire eating though which lingers still
In the heating utensil that is named
after it
Dickens and Thackeray
I once missed meeting Dickens at
Chatsworth He left the day of my
arrival writes Leveson Gower in his
memoirs Thackeray came that same
afternoon and was anxious to hear
about Dickens visit He wondered
whether he had toadied the duke very
much My Impression is that though
professing to be friends these two
great novelists did not care much for
one another
