A kind, of tense i hush is over ail hands and, indeed, ! over the rest of the squadron at anehor'j h- Ui" hay. It is a jroneral drill morn- j h:u. and the s::;;s of the squadron are j about to compete against each other! 1 t various evonuioi.s. On the after bridge the .classes of the si!;al bo swain and his yeomen are soloed tia? liaship. I'resontly a eoi-:le of s:iyly colored flaj??, are hoist ed at her main. Hardly I:avo they left tiie rail whou tSie si-na! boatswain spins round. 'S:.trnars 'place uet de fense, sir!' " he cries. "Out nets!" bawls the commander. "Out nets!' shout the boatswain's mates. Instant ly hordes of men dash at the neat roll of wire nets lying oa the shelf round the ship and push it overboard. One edge beiujr hekl in place, it unrolls as it fails, making a veil on the side. -Clear the net shelf!" The men van ish. "Man the purchase!" Somewhere above a bugle blares out a "G." The marines, handling: large bearing cut spars, shove the upper ends' of the booms, from which the nets hang, out board. They revolve slowly about their lower ends, which are near the water line and, hauled by the steam capstan on one side and the seamen on the purchase on the other, extend them selves at right angles to the hull. "Break!" bellows the commander, and a signalman jerks the halyards. A red, white and blue pendant, hitherto waiting- in a ball at the topsail yard arm, breaks from its confinement and floats out on the breeze, announcing to all and sundry that the ship has finished the evolution and is now pro tected from torpedo attack by her crinoline of nets. "First ship, sir," re ports the signal boatswain, and the men. once more at their general sta tions, grin contentedly and make con temptuous comments on the struggles of the remainder of the fleet. There is a short pause till these are ended; then another hoist rises from the flag ship's bridge. "In nets!" is the order, and the ship's company is once more galvanized into action. Amid a scene of orderly confusion the huge booms return to position, shut back against the ship's side, the brails which pass beneath the nets every few yards are manned, all hands haul with a will, the mass of steel meshes is rolled up and secured on its shelf, and the bright pendant at the topsail yardarm is again broken by the signalman. A short "Stand easy!" follows, soon ended by another signal, "Clear for action!" To the mind of the bewilders ed spectator 'pa'udemoniuih follows. But it is only in appearance. Each man knows what he has to do and does it. Under the onslaught of the seamen davits, stanchions, rails, stove pipesin fact, all things that cau pos sibly restrict the fire of the guns dis appear with a rapidity that gives the impression of their being mowed down; skylights are masked by steel hatches, boats are turned in and secured, and in two or three minutes the decks are stripped bare and the men again fall en in, awaiting the order to replace gear. This done a longer jab, but still accomplished with celerity the last and must exciting signal of the forenoon appears "A way ail boats' crews; pull round the fleet." The men tumble into their boats at the davits, the iowerors pajr out the tails, and in a few moments the cut ters, whalers, gigs and galleys are pulling for dear life, a midshipman in charge of each. Oa the after bridce ius cuuiiiianuer, waving two smau hand flags which control the huge steam derrick, is lifting the pinnace and launch from the beat deck and depositing them in the water. Men drop into them, double and treble banking the long oars, and soon these are pounding after the lighter boats. The evolution is a race, ship against ship. Who will have the hrst boat back? Who will have all boats back and hoisted first? Midshipmen, prob ably with bets on the matter, are urg ing their crews ou. Every man is putting his back into it for the honor of his ship. Telescopes watch prog ress from all the vessels of the fleet. Here comes the galley the captain's boat, manned by a picked crew and dancing through the water under the long sweeping strokes of the oars first boat back. Again the tricolor ed pendant flies out and the captain's "doggie" (midshipman) climbs out of the galley's stern sheets, beaming all over his boyish countenance. The boats are hoisted as they return, the men left on board manning the falls and running away with them to the sound of the ship's band playing on the shelter deck. Presently all is square again. The boatswain's mates pipe "Hands cany on smoking." The forenoon's drills are over, and officers and men alike are in good humor, proud of the final signal received froir the all powerful flagship: "Evolutions smartly performed'v London Globe. .. Ons Man Who Discovered That War Was Not Wholly Bad. L-ern Jackson loved to loaf. He lived in the mountains cot far from Green ville, Tenu., with his wife and a' large brood ;f children.

Every one wondered at Lem's persistence in sticking to the terrible trade of war. Dr. G-rdner met Lens hobbling down the street- in Greenville one morning in .Tune. 1SC5, still pale and weak from his latest wound, his right leg short and wabbly, his left hand stiuiy bent back. "Glad to see you alive, Lem," said the doctor. "I suppose you're glad to be home again V" "Waal," Leu admitted without en thusiasm. "I s'pose I had to git erlong home. Gin'ral Lee he surrindered us down to Appomattox, an' we all had to go home." "But aren't you glad to be away from the dangers of war?" "Why, doc, war hain't so bad." cried honest Lem "war hain't so bad. There's lots of days when you don't have nothin' to do." Harper's Weekly. CF BALL How It May Strike a Strargsr Who Sees !t For the First Time. Nothing has set America so high in the estimation of foreign nations, says Ellis Parker Butler in Success Maga zine, as the adoption of baseball as the national sport. If a foreign spy wan ders into America seeking to fathom our real inwardness and sees a game of baseball any feeling of contempt for our newness gives way instantly to awestruck admiration. At his first glance baseball is to him a mystery, and it remains a mystery to him. He sees 30,000 men and women suffering the tortures of the lower regions on hot grand stands. He sees a man pick up a small white bail as hard as a pine knot. Facing him is another man who holds a smooth but deadly club in his hands. Behind this second man is a third man whose face is hidden behind a birdcage. Suddenly the man with the ball raises one foot in the air and shows the man with the bat the sole of his shoe. The man at the bat sees that there are spikes in the sole of the shoe, and it angers him, and he raises his bat to throw it at the man with the ball. But ah, ha! the man with the ball is too quick for him. He throws the hard, white ball at the man with, the ""bat "with ail his strength. The man with the bat waves defiance by swinging the bat in the air. Tiie ball proceeds. The batsman never flinches! Will the ball kill the man or will the impact crush the ball? But, see! The ball finds man unflinching; the. ball is panic stricken; the ball dodges around the man; the ball is lost, buried in the huge leather chair cushion that covers the hand of the birdcage man behind the batsman! "Strike one!" says the umpire. Thirty thousand cheers! Why? Grub Street's Pawnshop. If the Avaut is not the oldest and best known pawnshop in the world it deserves to be. It has been in exist ence ever since the days of Shake speare and Ben .Tonson. It is in Fleet street Grub street and has been the poor writer's uncle for a!I these cen turies and years. It has an old legend something like this: "Old Literary Friends Never Forgotten." There are many souvenirs, sayings and tradi tions of the greatest men oa earth who, going broke, had to patronize it. Outside of its own name it is weli known as the Grub street pawnshop. London Mail. Unspel'able. The Newfoundland seal folk for some reason not given by the St. John's correspondent of the New York Sun describe their greasy spoil as "swoils." and they also say they "spell" an ob ject when they mean to carry it. One can imagine the amazement of the young cleric who on one occasion ask- j ed a burly hunter how he spelled "swoils." "We don't spell 'em: we hauls 'em." was the bewildering reply. The Rotort Courtsous. "I hate to press this bill, Mr. Slovr pay," said the tailor, taking a much wrinkled memorandum of accounts from his pocket, "but" "Oh, don't bother.

Which Wera Absolutely Snow Proof. "A maii'-s first night in a canvas tent in the arctic is likely to be rather wakeful." says Commander Peary in Hampton's. "The ice makes mysteri ous noises, the dogs bark and Hht out- j side the tent, where they are tethered. and as three Eskimos and one while an usually occupy a. small tent and tae oil stove is left burning ail mgnr the air. net wii ijsta F;d!n.c the cold, is not overpure, nw.l s -.i'times the Eski mos becirj chanting to t'le spirits .f their ancestors in the middle of the r.icht. Sometimes, too. the new iris's nerves are tried by hearing wo.-s howl in the distance. "The tents are specially made. ey are of i i ?zht welch t canvas, and the floor of the tent is sewed directly inio it. T'ie iy is sewed up. a circular opening in it lust iarce enou.ch to ad mit a man. and that :r-:aitai tian. which is closet a drawstring, making the tc :-t a bso- lutely snow proof. An ordinary lent I when the snow is iiying would be tiiU'd in ii'j time. "The tent is pyramidal, with one po!e in t'ie center, and the edges are usual ly held down by tiie sledg:e runners or by snow:-hoi-s used as tent pegs. The men sleep on the floor in their clothes with a musk ox skin or a couple of deerskins wrapped around them. "The kitchen box for our sledge journeys is simply a wooden box con taining two double burner oil stoves with four inch wicks. Te two cook ing pots are the bottoms five gallon coal oil tins iitted with covers. When packed they are turned bottom side up over each stove, and the hinged co7er of the wooden box is closed. "On reaching camp, whether tent or snow igloo, the kitchen box is set down inside. The top of the box is turned up and keeps the heat of the stove from melting the wall of the igloo or burning the tent. The hinged front of the box is turned down and forms a table. The two cooking pots are filled with pounded ice and put on the stove. When the ice melts one pot is used for tea and the other may be used to warm beans or to boil meat if there is any. "Each man has a quart cup for tea and a hunting knife which serves many purposes. He does not carry a fork, and one teaspoon is considered quite enough for a party of four. Each man helps himself from the pot sticks in his knife and fishes out a piece of meat. "The theory of field work is that there shall be two meals a day, one in the morning and one at night. As the days grow short the meals are tak en before light and after dark, leaving the period of light entirely for work. Sometimes it is necessary to travel twenty-four hours without stopping for food." The Difference. "Mistah Walkah. kin yo' tell me de diff'unce 'tween a cold in de head an' a a chicken coop wit' a hole in de rufe?" "No, Sam: that's a hard one. What is the difference between a cold in the head and a chicken coop with a hole in the roof?"

Among the true cobras of India the naja is found all over India and Ceylon, Burma, the Andaman islands, southern China and the Malay penin sula and archipelago. It ascends the Himilayas to an altitude of S.000 feet. It extends also over Afghanistan and through Tersia to the eastern shore of the Caspian. It may attain a length of nearly seven and a half feet, but it is usually not more than a little over five and a half feet long. Najas vary much in color and markings, but have generally the spectacle mark on the back of the neck, which they always distend before making an attack. Fish In Forrr.sr Tirr.es. Men of former ages, unless they lived near the sea or a river, had great dim culties in gratifying their taste for fish. The great houses had their fish ponds or stews, but sea fish, such as cod, bream, sturgeon, herring and sprats, were salted, and the excessive con sumption of highly salted fish in the middle ages is said to have produced leprosy. Fish was also baked in pies to enable it to be carried for great distances. In a New Light. Actor-Playwright I have been told, sir. that the Corot you sold me is not genuine!
