ARCH 14..1SC3, Farragut made a desperah; attempt to dash past the Confederate land bat teries at Tort Hudson, on the Mississippi river below Vicks- burg. Out of nine ships which started to run the gantlet of Are two pot through, one was destroyed, four re treated badly battered and two came off uninjured. The stretch of river be tween Port Hudson and Vicksburg was used by the Confederates as a water , way tapping the rich country up the r.ed river. The Confederate garrison at Vicksburg, which Grant was aiming to subjugate, drew its supplies from the region west of the Mississippi by steamers plying the lied river, t In February the Federal steam ram Queen of the West, under the gallant boy commander Charles Rivers Ellet, wan captured while attempting to put an end to the steamboat traffic down the Red river and added to the Confed erate fleet in those waters. The Fed eral ironclad Indianola followed the Queen in the daring enterprise and was also overcome and destroyed. The ; news of the disasters to the Queen and Indianola set old Farragut's blood on fire. He originally went to the lower Mississippi with orders to open up that channel to the head of navigation ami keep it clear of the enemy's ships. Now Grant's whole enterprise at j Vicksburg was at stake. At Fort Ilud- son the Confederates had nineteen guns in position on the bluffs to rake the channel up and down the river, . and an army of 20,000 men lay in strongly fortified lines to cover the fort from land attack. In order to de ceive the garrison as to the real move ment menacing the port General Banks marched his army of 17,000 men from Uaton Rouge to Port Hudson to threat en an attack on the rear. Banks in tended to open on the fort with his cannon and draw fire upon himself to spare the ships, but he was deceived by a false map and failed to bring his artillery within range. Farragut formed his line with the old style war sloops Hartford, Rich mond, Monongahela and Mississippi at the front, followed by the new river ironclad Essex and the gunboats Al batross, Genesee, Kineo and Sachem lashed to the port side of the sloops away from the Confederate fire. All told, these ships mounted 121 guns. The night was dark and heavy. Soon after 9 o'clock the fleet started slowly up the channel, and shortly two signal rockets on the bluff gave warning that the movement was discovered. Almost immediately the Confederates opened fire, the fleet answering in kind and steaming steadily on. By the time the Richmond reached the upper batteries the smoke was so thick that the pilot could not see beyond the end of the ship. Huge bonfires of pine lit upon the bank by the Confederates sent up clouds of black smoke which settled over the river. The Hartford grounded once, and in backing away narrowly escaped colli sion, with the Richmond, which was close behind. Finally the Hartford, with her consort, the Albatross, cleared the batteries. They had been under fire one hour. None of the other ships wa able to follow. The Richmond, after getting clear of the Hartford, was struck by a shot in the safety valves which upset them and made her en gines useless. The Genesee, lashed to the Richmond, tried to pull her wound ed consort through, but her power was too weak against the strong current. These two turned back and anchored below the batteries. The Monongahela ran aground on the west shore just as the Confederates opened fire. The shock of striking tore loose the lashings of her consort, the Kineo, which tried to go ahead alone, but also grounded under fire. Owing to the dense smoke the pilots of these ships could see nothing, and the vessels ; lay under the guns of the enemy, which j soon got the range and quickly disa bled the batteries of the stranded ships, j A shot struck the bridge of the Monon ! gahela, and it went crashing to tho ; deck with Captain McKinstry in the wreckage. The Kineo finally got loose from the bank and returned to the aid of the Monongahela. Making fast, she pulled her consort from the mud, and the two again started up stream. In a short time the crank pin of the Monongahela was so heated that the engines stopped, and the ship, being wholly un manageable, drifted out of range. At 12:20 o'clock the old Mississippi reached the bend at the upper bat teries, where the leading vessels had met with mishap. Just where the ef fect of the shore guns was greatest she grounded and heeled to port. With his starboard guns firing as though nothing had happened Captain Me lancthon Smith ordered the port guns drawn in to lighten that side of the ship. Even then the vessel did not come to an even keel, and the engines were unable to budge her from the bauk. Captain Smith then decided to fire his own ship and save his men. The Confederates kept up a terrible fire on the luckless vessel, but her own gunners at the starboard pieces still fired as though all was well on board. The flash of the enemy's guns on the bluff 100 yards away was the only guide for the Federals. All the guns not at work In the fighl were thrown overboard, also the small arms and everything that could be ra covered and used by the enemy. Aftei smashing the engines three fires were lighted in the storeroom, but a Con federate shot cut through the hull be low water, letting in a flood which put out the flames. Meanwhile tho wounded had been lowered into boats. Fires were started between decks fore and aft, and soon the grand old Mississippi, which, had been Perry's flagship In the war .with Tripoli, was a mass of flame. At last the crew was all in the boats, the under officers with them, and Captain Smith, with his lieutenant, spiked the still Bmoking starboard guns and left the vessel to its fate. Having lost so much of her weight by the abandonment of br crejv and the destjutionf ajms, A Fortieth Ann i-Oersary War Story the ship soon" floated and dfif ted down stream la the wake of the vessels which had retreated. Collision was avoided, and she passed on, her maga zines exploding at 5:30 in the morning with a detonation heard for miles, much to the joy of the Confederates. The Mississippi lost sixty-four men killed and wounded in this encounter, a very heavy casualty list for the hard est naval battle and greater than that of all the other ships in the fleet that morning combined. She also did more execution than all the others, for while she lay aground her guns plowed the Confederate works on the hill. Her of ficers and men remained cool through out the trying ordeal, never forgetting that they should fight the enemy's bat teries so long as their guns could beat upon them. Farragut had given his ship commanders instructions when setting out that morning to maintain on incessant fire while passing up past the fort not only for self defense in each case, but in order to worry and baffle the enemy for the benefit of the consorts following. The Mississippi really had the hard est end of the struggle to bear. By the time she reached the bend where all the vessels came to grief the smoke made it Impossible for her pilots or hei gunners to see beyond the ship's rail. Moreover, the Confederate gunners had got the range upon the point where the Federals grounded. Doubtless their range had already been fixed there as the one place where the ships would be most exposed to difficulty In making out the channel. Whatever the cause, their missiles found the target with deadly accuracy for night fighting. The ironclad Essex did not go far, enough to come under fire of the shore guns, but lay back with some mortar boats, which kept up a fierce bom bardment on the fort all the time the TEE MlSSISSim STRANDED CKDEB TUB ENEMY'S GUN'S. ships were disputing the passage. Far ragut's total loss was 113 at Port Hud son, nearly as many as the whole fleet j sustained when he passed Fort Jack son and Fort Fhilip at the mouth of the Mississippi during the famous at tack on New Orleans in 18G2. His flagship, the Hartford, lost two killed and six wounded, the Richmond three killed and twelve wounded and the Monongahela six killed and twenty -one wounded. The Mississippi, following the others and last In the order named, lost twenty-five killed and thirty-nine wounded, the result .to each vessel showing that the Confederate aim grew more deadly as the fight pro gressed. Farragut steamed on up the Missis ; sippi with the Hartford and Albatross and blockaded Red river. This being the object of his wild dash past Port Hudson, the enterprise was a success in spite of the disaster to the other ships. Banks was some time In doubt as to the fate of Farragut, but as soon ' as he learned his whereabouts and j condition the army was withdrawn from Port Hudson to Baton Rouge to ; await a more favorable time for at tacking the batteries. The most that Banks accomplished In support of Far. ragut at this time was to eHgage the Confederate skirmishers outside of their works. Even this may have sim ply aroused the Confederates and made them more alert for the fleet. GEORGE L. KILMER. General Mileti on Good Ilontl. In a speech on good roads General Miles recently said: "We excel all na tions in our railroads. Capital and en ergy have been given to building these, and the time is now come when the feeders to these, the highways, must receive attention. Government has giv en largely to the railroads and should now give to the improvement of the surface roads.

HINKICHSEN IX. Instructions to the Indi vidual Voter. AS the campaign progresses the labors of the county and pre cinct committees Increase. In addition to the general work heretofore enumerated, the individual voter must receive considerable atten tion. While the speakers, the writers, the special pleaders and other agents are trying to convince him that it is best to vote their ticket, another class of agents must not only see that he Is qualified to vote, but that he is famil iar with the mechanical process of casting his ballot. Most of the states have adopted what is known as the Australian ballot in some form, and as the laws governing this method of voting are sometimes very complicated it is necessary that each now voter and many of the old voters should be carefully instructed as to how to mark their ballots. This work Is frequently assigned to the precinct committeemen, who are first carefully drilled for the purpose. In any event such Instruction must be given direct to each voter who is not known to be thoroughly familiar with the law. The poll of each precinct has no doubt teen completed and several weeks before the election it Is care fully corrected. It should furnish the information which the committee will require In order to begin the work. The student should revise and correct the poll of his precinct which he made early, and he will by this time have discovered Its value. His knowledge of election laws so freshly obtained will qualify him as an instructor, and he should volunteer for that work. Sometimes regular schools are held, w ith sample ballots, boxes, judges, etc. This is a good plan. Sometimes in structions are given privately to each j voter, and sometimes a combination of j both plans Is used. Xo matter how instruction is given, the student should ' never rest until he knows that every member of his party entitled to vote in his precinct knows how to mark his ballot and knows it so well that he will not be likely to make a mis take through nervousness or from any other cause. The student should also see that every man is made fully acquainted with his rights and duties as a voter and should never cease to impress upon him the importance of exercising the right of suffrage. Registration. The poll, being fully revised, should receive a final examination prepara tory to registration. In some places registration is necessary; In others it is not, but whether it is or not the stu dent should see that every voter in his precinct is registered. The man who is registered, whether it Is necessary or not, is more likely to vote on election day than the one who is not registered. The student should carefully review his study of the laws governing regis tration, so that he may make no mis take, and should prepare himself care fully for the work. The work of getting the vote regis tered is so similar to that of getting out the vote on election day that it will be discussed under the latter head only and will be treated in a later lesson, which should, of course, be studied carefully. Use of Money In Politics. At this point it would be well for the student to give some attention to the important question of the use of money in elections. In undertaking this course of study it Is presumed that he has determined to do nothing illegal and nothing which he might feel is dishonest. As Ille gal and dishonest action in politics is generally associated with the use of money, he ought by this time to have made up his mind as to how far he might go in the use of money without violating his principles. Some states have laws limiting the amount of the campaign expenses of a candidate, while nearly all states have laws forbidding the use of money in elections except for certain purposes, and, although laws of this kind are usually violated with impunity, they should be scrupulously observed. Men absolutely honest differ in opin ion as to what may be called legitimate or illegitimate use of money in order to gain party success, and, within the law, each man's conscience must be his guide. It is generally conceded that it is proper to use money for the following purposes: To pay the rent of the headquarters, to employ clerical help and to pur chase stationery, postage stamps and furniture. To purchase and distribute litera ture, flags, banners, posters, badges, etc., and even to establish newspapers and distribute them free to the people. To pay the expenses of speakers, to lilre halls and pay other expenses at tendant upon public meetings, includ ing the cost of running free trains to such meetings. To furnish vehicles for the convey ance of voters to the polls, including those at a distance, where railroad fare has to be paid. To pay the naturalization fee for aliens and even to pay the expense of taking them before the court for that purpose. To pay the salaries of men employed In making polls, in spreading political doctrine and in getting out the vote. To pay for fireworks and other free shows calculated to produce favorable results. I In fact, nearly all men regard It as legitimate to use money in elections except for the one purpose of bribing men to vote differently from what they had Intended. It would seem that it is regarded as legitimate to use money for the purpose of influencing the voter's mind in favor of a certain policy or a certain group of candidates, but that it Is not legitimate to pay him for voting for that policy or group of candidates, whether you convince him or not. All these things must be considered by the student carefully, and he must govern his actions by his own conclu sions, always, as a matter of course, keeping within the law. He must nec essarily also keep within the limits of the fund at his dlsjwsal. Copyright, 1902. by Lewis D. Sampson. Superstitions of Actors. The superstitions of actors, who are quite as impressionable as sailors in this particular, has interested the stage manager of a Washington company, and ho has prepared a list to which he Is constantly adding. The dreaded har bingers of 111 luck already Inscribed include the following: "Whistling by one member of a com pany In the dressing room of another Is a sign that the company will close Its season suddenly and sooner than expected. "Coming perfect In a part at the first rehearsal is proof conclusive that you will stick In the lines at the opening performance. "Thirteen members of an organiza tion Is believed to signify that three of them will be changed during the course of a season. "Raising an umbrella In a play is considered as a forerunner that the business of all holidays and special performances will be curtailed by rain. "A member of a company carrying a leather hat box is looked upon as a mis chief maker. "Any other pet than a dog is a sure sign of the serious illness of some mem ber of the company." "There are a number of others In vogue," says the manager; "but, to my mind, there are only two Jonahs or hoodoos in our profession bad act ing and bad management." Change In His Own Coin. Ills grace the Duke of Norfolk hap pened to be taking a stroll one day near Arundel castle, saj's London An swers, when he was accosted by a tramp, who asked him in that easy, velvet tongued way: "Would you kindly assist a poor man?" etc. His grace immediately handed the tramp a shilling. "Oh!" exclaimed the mendicant. "Who, may I ask, is so kind hearted?" "Oh, never mind," said the duke. "That's all right." "But In after years, when I recall" "Never mind, my good fellow; It's all right." "Then I cannot accept this, sir," said the tramp, handing back the coin. "I must tell my friends" "All right, then," interrupted the duke. "Tell them Lord Nelson; that's enough." The tramp looked doubtfully at his grace and then replaced the coin in his pocket. "Now, my good man," said the duke, "what Is your name?" "Oh, that I cannot say. It is hard" "Oh, but if I have your name per haps I may be able to help you. My friends" "Yes, yes," replied the tramp sadly. "Say the Duke of Norfolk; that's enough!" The New Education. My friend was teaching the primary class in a city Sunday school.

"I don't know," she said In a soft aside to me, "just what manna looks like, but I have this little bottle of homeopathic pills for an Illustration," taking from her jtocket a tiny phial and shaking It lightly. She made the story interesting, and every little face was turned upward expectantly as she proceeded. She told of the cloud by day and the pillar of fire at night, the coming of the quails and the fall of manna, then rapidly re viewed the whole, asking questions to test the attention of her audience. "And what did the Lord feed the children of Israel upon?" she asked. "Pills!" they all shouted without a dissenting voice. Then for a moment there was si lence, while the teacher bent low to look Into her reticule after something which was not to be found. Harper's Magazine. Silence Is Golden.

HOW TO IMPROVE DOMESTIC SERVICE IN AMERICA By Miss GAIL LAUGHUN. LL B- Lawyer and Student of Social and Economic Problems I PKESEXT UNSATISFACTORY. The testimony I i- n it.. i i xi v vl peopie generally- ana uie lacis biateu uy uioso wnu come most closely into touch with domestic labor seem to establish that in a large proportion of cases the serv ice rendered by domestic employees is unsatisfactory and that the supply of competent domestic workers is far below the demand. IN SHORT, DOMESTIC SERVICE IS LARGELY IN THE HANDS OF UNTRAINED AND INCOMPETENT WORKERS AND IS UNPOPU LAR WITH THE MAJORITY OF INTELLIGENT WOMEN WAGE EARNERS. The reason for this is not found in the wages paid, for it is ad mitted that wages in domestic service are, all things considered, higher than are the wages paid in many more popular lines of work. The reason is found in other conditions which exist and primarily in the fact that THE DOMESTIC EMPLOYEE IS LOOKED UPON AS A PERSONAL SERVANT RATHER THAN AS 'AN EMPLOYEE HIRED TO PERFORM SPECIFIC SERV ICE. Because of this view there is no fixed standard of work, the hours of labor are indefinite, the employee's entire time is subject to the control of the employer. The position of the employee in the household ia that of a semidependent ; her social position is that of an inferior. To improve the character of domestic service the supply of in telligent workers must be increased ; to increase the supply of intel ligent workers conditions must be so modified as to make the con ditions in domestic service conform to as great an extent as possible to conditions existing in other industries and especially so modified as to put the social position of the domestic employee on a par with that of other wage earners. In other words, DOMESTIC SERV ICE MUST BE PUT ON A BUSINESS BASIS. This can bo done only through co-operation on the part of both employers and employees, co-operation based on a better and more scientific conception of the character of household labor. THE PROCESS MUST BE PRIMARILY EDUCATIONAL, BOTH AS REGARDS EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE. Instruction in the public schools in the elementary principles which bear upon household affairs would do much to give to the next generation a better understanding of the importance of house hold labor and of the principles underlying it.

Nervousness and Its Train of Terrible Evils Permanent ly Banished By PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND. Mrs. Clark Tells of Her Happy Rescue from Suffering After Failures of Physicians. Nervous disorders and diseases are on the increase, and women are the chief sufferers.. Digestion gives out, there are pains in the head, the tongue is coated, the muscles ache, there is constipation, heart palpita tion, gloomy fears oppress continu ally, and sleep is broken and dis turbed. The only reliable remedy that medical science has given to humani ty for the cure of nervousness, is Paine's Celery Compound, prescrib ed by eminent physiciaus with the happiest results. . In critical cases, Paine's Celery Compound has saved life and restored health when all oth er medicines failed. Mrs. F. A. Clark, of Moscow, Idaho, writes as follows about her success with Paine's Cel ery Compound: "While suffering terribly from ner vousness and Dervous prostration, I was attended by several physicians, but their efforts brought no assuring results. I finally got so bad that it was impossible to sleep at night. My husband again wanted me to have a doctor, but I told him it was no use. He then went to our druggist who recommended Paine's Celery Com pound. The first night I used the Compound, I slept well and I con tinued to improve from day to day. I used in all eight bottles of Paine's Celery Compound and am perfectly cured. I cannot say enough in its favor."
