' ISITORS to the Naval academy frequently write
letters to the authorities in Washington asking }
why it is that the body , of Admiral John Paul
Jones is allowed to remain in an obscure corner
under a stairway in one of the Naval academy
halls. It is proposed eventually to provide a
fitting resting place in the academy chapel for
the remains' ' of the great sailor , but one delay
after another has come and the delay has not
only caused comment , but complaint.
When the remains of the admiral were
brought to America there was a great commem-
memorative servipe. Theodore Roosevelt , who
was then president , members of his cabinet and
officers of high rank in the navy spoke in jpraise
of the deeds of the hero , but when the exercises
were over forgetfulness seamed to come where
all had been attention.
John Paul Jones not only had a stirring ,
warlike life , but his life was touched with ro
mance of a gender ! kind.
:
The British government thought enough of
this man. to cause to be posted at every sea-
port in the United
Kingdom this placard :
For the Capture of
JOHN PAUL JONES ,
Commanding an Amer-
ican Ship , the Gov
ernment will pay
the sum of
10,000 Guineas.
John Paul Jones was
the first man to pluck
a laurel wreath for the American navy. Taking
into consideration the means at his command , his
exploits were more daring and fully as successful
as those which forty years later gave luster to
the name of Bainbridge , Rogers , Porter and De-
catur. Of the deeds of John Paul Jones , though
they are written down in the histories of four na
tions , the world seems to know comparatively
little today , while of the man , John Paul Jones ,

though volumes of speculation have been written
the world knows almost nothing. From his youth
he seemed to prefer that everything touching his
Inner self should be shrouded , though he was
nothing loath to demand proper recognition for
the acts which he performed for his country's
good.
There have never been lacking insinuations
that the real reason for the admiral's reticence
arose from his desire to hide certain things which
had been said touching his parentage. It was
commonly reported at the time that John Paul
Jones , though born to the family of John Paul , a
thrifty Scotch gardener at Arbigland on the Sol-
way Firth , was in reality the son of Lord Selkirk ,
upon whose estate Gardener Paul delved. Care-
ful inquiry : has disproved the scandal. Jennie
Macduff , the mother of \ the naval hero and the
wife of Gardener Paul l , was a woman of charac-
ter , possessed in full measure of the homely do
mestic virtues.
It must bo said here that the American ad
miral added the name Jones to his family name
of Paul at the time when he first made applica-
tion for a commission in the American nav ' . Why
the name was added , though speculation has been
rife for more than a century , no one to this day
knows. The boy Paul , the youngest of five sons.
W-a3 born in a little cottage standing in a glaae
near where the Nith comes flowing into the Sol-
way. When only twelve years of age he was
apprenticed to a ship merchant at White Haven ,
a village where years afterward the people fright-
ened their children into obedience by the men-
tion of "the demon , Paul Jones. "
The future admiral's first voyage took him
to the Rappahannock river of America. Twice
or three times the .trip was repeated , and finally ,
owing to the death of his master , the apprentice
was released from his engagement at the age
of sixteen. An eider brother had settled on the
banks of the American : river , anil with him the
boy lived and studied for some time. He again
went to sea about the time that he attained his
majority , sailing for Scotland as a for'mast hand
in a brig. On the , voyage the captain and mate
died , and the crew placed Jones In command. On
his arrival In Scotland the owners of the vessel
pave him the berth of cantata.

On a voyage outward
bound from Scotland ,
Jones , as captain of the
merchant brig , ordered
that a mutinous carpen-
ter be flogged. A year
afterward the man died ,
Jones' enemies said as a
result of the beating.
Jones' friends said as
the result of a long-fixed
disease. The youthful
captain succeeded in
clearing his character in
the eyes of all unpreju-
diced persons , but the
treatment that he re
ceived while 'under sus
picion , at the hands of
his former Scotch
friends , so aroused his
indignation and anger
that he quit Scotland
never to return except
as an implacable enemy.
Jones , or as he was
then , John Paul , was
next heard of living in
penury , near Fredericks-
burg , this country. The
Revolution came. on. At
the time of the battles
at Lexington and Con-
cord the colonies did

committee would have paid
had it not happened
request for a commission
that one of its members , Richard Henry Lee ,
knew something of the career of the supplicant
sailor. He was given a commission as first lieu-
tenant of the Alfred , a merchantman , which had
been made over into a man-of-war , and placed
under the command of Commodore Hopkins. To
the masthead of this vessel Jones , with his own
hands , hoisted the first ensign ever showa en an
American man-of-war. It was the famed rattle-
snake flag with the motto "Don't tread on nie. "
By a remarkable coincidence , some time later.on
the Ranger Jones displayed at the peak the first
bit of Stars and Stripes bunting ever flung to the
breeze of an American man-of-war. A little later
he had the honor of hearing fired in recognition
of the oame flag the first salute which it ever
received from a foreign nation the roar , of the
guns carrying with it the acknowledgement : by
France of the independence of the United Colo
nies.
John Paul Jonep physically was not a heroic
looking figure. He was only five feet tall and
of light weight , but in his fighting qualities his
ounces counted like other men's pounds. His
face was grave and thoughtful , and his eyes were
as sharp as his cutlass. The fleet in which Jones
sailed under Commodore Hopkins was a miser
able affair , and Hopkins was the weakest of com
manders. Jones succeeded in inducing his supe
rior to sail for Nassau , where under the direction
of the junior officer a vast amount of British
stores were seized. On the way back to the
United States the British frigate Glasgow was
sighted , but it escaped the American fleet owing
to the poor seamanship of Hopkins. A court of
inquiry was held , and it was determined that if
Jones' suggestions had been carried . out the Glas-
gow could have been captured or sunk. Hopkins
felt disgraced and became a bitter enemy of his
subordinate

Shortly after this Jones was
made captain of the Providence ,
carrying twelve guns. He cruised
about , capturing many merchant-
men , and finally when off Nova Sco
tia he fell in with the Milford , a
I huge British frigate , which was dis
guised as a trading ship. Jones
bore down on it until he was within
pistol shot of the vessel. He then
'discovered his error , and by mag-
nificent seamanship succeeded in
escaping without a scratch , although
well-directed broadside
a single . - - - - _ . . . - ' - - - - ,
would have sunk his ship. The Miitoru chased
the Providence , but was quickly left astern. The
British ship kept firing at the Yankee long after
it was out of range. In contempt and derision of
this act of the British captain , and knowing that
his actions were being watched through a glass ,
Jones ordered a single sailor to stand at the stern
and shoot a musket at the pursuer every time he
fired his big bow chaser.
After serious trouble with the jealous Hop-
kins , Jones was finally given command of the
Ranger , eighteen guns. He took a number of
prizes on the . : way , and finally put into a French
port. At Paris he met the American commission-
ers , Silas Dean Benjamin Franklin and Arthur
Lee , and they secured him an audience at the
French court. By request he aided in planning
the operations of D'Estaing's fleet , which was
shortly to leave for America.
The heroic fighting career of Jones was just
about to begin , though with the fame that he won
in the next few months came the undying hatred
of all the people of his. native country , and there
came also the loss of the only woman he ever
loved , and whom he had hoped one day to make
his wife. British privateers had ravaged the
American coast , had seized American : merchan-
dise and had burned some American towns. Jones
believed in making reprisals ! , and'he spread terror
and alarm along the Irish , JWelsh and English
coasts.
He chose , however , as the place of direct at-
tack White Haven , where he had lived as a boy
and a youth , and the masts of whose shipping
were in sight of his birthplace. He contemplated
burning all the vessels at the place and looting
the town. David Freeman , deserter from Jones'
ship , spread the alarm among the inhabitants of
the town , and Wallingford , one of Jones' lieu
tenants , was slow in carrying out some of his in-
structions. As it was , however , the expatriated
Scotsman succeeded in capturing one of the forts
which guarded the place , leading . the land attack
in person. With his own hand he spiked every
gun in the fortification , and then turned his atten-
tion to the firing of the shipping. As he was
about to carry out this design a vast armed mul-
titude appeared. They had been led to the scene
by the deserter , David Freeman. Not to be
balked in a part of his design , Jones succeeded
in boarding one ofr the largest merchantmen in
the Solway and applied the torch.
,
The Ranger had no sooner put out from the
Solway than it ran acrosS' the British man-of-war
Drake. The Drake was by far the heavier armed
and manned , . and a better equipped vessel than
the Ranger. Jones , however , gave battle at once ,
and after a bloody fight he took the British ves-
sel and hauled down its colors. He took his prize
into a French port. The French people were not
accustomed to naval victories over the English ,
let alone to victories won . by an inferior force ,
and the name of Jones at once became the syno
nym for heroism.
After spreading terror once more along the
coast of the British Isles , Jones returned to Amer
ica to find the war ended.
*
Jones was essentially a sailor of fortune , and
he went to St. Petersburg , where he was made
an admiral in the Russian navy. On his way
thither he- stopped long enough in Denmark to
flirt with the princess royal , who fell violently
love with him. Thirty English officers In the
service of Russia threatened to resign If the "pi
rate" were commissioned. Catharine said :
"You'll have to double your number to make the
loss equal to the gain. " They stayed In the serv-
ice. After winning honors In naval battles for
Russia Admiral Jones went to Paris There he
was alternately grave and gay. He could have
married into the houses of any of the nobility
but the memory of a Scotch girl was In his heart
and there it stayed to the exclusion of all other
! ovea until the day of his death.

POINTS ON CANNING
.
GOOD JAR IS EASILY THE to FIRST '
REQUISITE.
, . '
Sterilizing Is by No Means the Formid
able * Proceeding It Is Generally
"Considered - How to Go
About the Work.
The first requisite for successful -
canning Is a good jar. Glass is the- :
best. The most satisfactory jar that
the writer has had any experience ,
with has a rubber ring and a glass
top which is held in place by a simple
wire spring. It is poor economy to
buy a cheap grade of Jar or cheap
rubbers. As a rule black rubbers are
' .
more durable than white ones. .
For a sterilizer the writer uses a
tin clothes boiler with a false bottom.
of wire netting to fit. The netting Is
made of medium sized galvanized
wire with one half-inch mesh. A
false bottom is absolutely necessary
as the jars will break if set flat upon
the bottom of the boiler.
The selection and preparation of the
vegetables is first consideration. Never
attempt to can any vegetable that has ,
matured and commenced to harden '
or decay. As a general rule young
vegetables are superior in flavor and
texture to the more mature ones.
The principle of sterilization is the
same for all meats , fruits and vege- J
tables.

Position of Spring During Sterilizing/ :
corn is one of the easiest vegetables
to can. The United States depart-
ment of agriculture has shown that
the amount of sugar in the sweet va-
rieties diminishes very rapidly after
the ear is pulled from the stalk , there-
fore , in order to retain the original
sweetness and flavor it is necessary
to can corn very soon after it is pulled
-within an hour if possible. Se-
lect the ears with full grains before
they have begun to harden , as this
is the period of greatest sugar con-
tent. Husk them and brush the silks
off with a stiff brush. Shear off the
grains with a sharp knife , and pack
the jar full. Add salt to taste , usually r
about a teaspoonful to the quart is
sufficient , and fill up the jar to the top
with cold water. Put the rubber ring
around the neck of the jar and place
the glass top on loosely. Be careful
not to press down the spring at the
side of the jar.
Place the false bottom in the boiler
and put in as many jars as the boiler
will conveniently hold. Don't try to
crowd them in. Leave space between
them. Pour in about three inches of
cold water , or just enough to form i
steam and to prevent the boiler from I
going dry. It is not necessary to have
the water up to the neck "of the jars '
as the steam will do the cooking. Put
the cover on the boiler and set it on
the stove. Bring the water to a boil
and keep it boiling for one hour. At
the end of that time remove the cover
of the boiler and allow the steam to
escape. Press down the spring. Thir

Position of Spring After Sterilizing.
clamps down the top and prevents anj + r
rr
outside air from entering. The Jars
can now be removed and cooled1 or
allowed to stand In the boiler until
the : next day. On the second day raise
the spring at the side of the jar. This
will relieve any pressure from steam
that might accumulate inside the jar
during the second cooking. Place the
jars again in the boiler and boil for
one hour. Clamp on the top as on the
preceeding day and allow them to
cool. Repeat the operation on the
third day. In removing'the jars from
the boiler be careful not to expose
.
them to a draft of cold air while they.
are hot , as a sudden cnange in tem-
perature is likely to crack them.
After the sterilization is complete ,
the jars may be set aside for ? . day or"
two then tested. This is done by re
leasing the spring at the side , and
picking up the jar by the top. If
there has been the least bjt of de- .
composition , or if sterilization ! has riot
been complete the top will come off.
This is because the pressure on the
top has been relieved by gas formed
by the bacteria. In this case it is
always best to empty out the corn and
fill up the jar with a fresh supply. If
canning fruits or some expensive vege-
table , however , exam me the contents
of the jar and if the de-composition
has not gone far enough to injure the
flavor place it once more in the boiler
and sterilize over again.
If the top does not come off you
may be sure that the. vegetable is
