RETIRES FROM THE NAVY.
Captain Mahan Find* the Fen Mightier
Thau the Sword.
Captain Alfred T. Mahan, who was
recently placed on the retired list at his
own request, has received higher honors
abroad than any other officer in tho
United States navy. In the library of
every vessel in the English navy nitty
be found the two volumes of Captain
Mahan’s ‘‘lnfluence of Sea Power. ” Tho
United States government has also pur
chased a large edition to be similarly
distributed. This is the best indication
of the esteem in which his works are
held.

York and was appointed to the Naval

academy in 1856. Four years later he
entered the navy as an acting midship
man. He served throughout the war
with credit and gradually rose through
all the grades to the rank of captain,
which he has held since September,
1885. Had he not been retired he would
have soon reached the rank of commo
dore and could have retired with a high
er title and increased pay, but his liter
ary labors were so pressing that he de
cided not to wait.
Captain Mahan has had about 16
years’ actual sea service out of the 40
during which he has been in the navy.
For many years he was president of the
naval war college at Newport, and it
was while preparing a course of lectures
on the influence of sea power upon the
history of the world that he conceived
the idea of writing the work which has
brought him such high honors and so
much distinction. His works have been
translated into both French and German
and are regarded by at least four great
nations as standard books of history.
He also wrote “The Gulf and Inland
Waters, ” a history of the movements of
our navy during the civil war, and the
“Life of Admiral Farragut.” He is
now’ preparing a volume on the war of
1812, which will also cover the chief
exploits in the active career of Lord Nel
son.
When Captain Mahan visited Lon
don, in 1894, in command of the Chi
cago, he received a notable ovation from
the British public, and degrees were
conferred on him by both Oxford and
Cambridge universities.
NINE MONTHS IN BED. CURED
24 HOURS.
T. J. Blackmore, of Haller & Blackmore
Pittsburg, Pa., says: “A abort time since I
procured a bottle of “Mystic Cure.” It got
me. out of the house in twenty-four hours.
Itojk to my bed with Rheumatism nine
months ago and the “Mystic Cure” is the
only medicine that did any good. I had
five of the best physicians in the city, but
received very little reliex irom them. I
kno .v that Mystic Cure to be what it is rep
resented and take pleasure n, racomending
it to ether sufferers.”

weight of each carried by all; the very
color of tho marbles, brown, blond, liv

flowerlike, of their natural patterning,
are all seemingly organic and ready for

tho slanting of the columns, and last,
but not least, the tarnishing of the gold

St. Mark’s! The constant interchange

energies to cue another; the springing
up of new details gathered at once into
the great general balance of lines and
forces; all this seemed to find its natu

that continuous revolution of theme

grave emotion of life everlasting—being,

Carlyle Reproved.
An amusing and characteristic anec
dote of Thomas Carlyle is given in Mrs.
Ross’ “Early Days Recalled.” Mrs.
Ross, the daughter of Sir Alexander
and Lady Duff Gordon, enjoyed' from
her earliest years the privilege of meet
ing many distinguished, persons under
delightful conditions. Her mother’s
beauty and wit, as well as her father’s
social and official tank, attracted men
and women eminent in art, letters and
politics to their home. The only visitor
whom little Janet cordially disliked
.was Mr. Thomas Carlyle. She says: '
One afternoon my mother had a dis
cussion with him on German literature.
Her extraordinary eloquence and fire
prevailing, Carlyle lost his temper and
burst forth in his Scotch tongue,
“You’re just a windbag, Lucie; you’re
just a windbag I”*
I had been listening with all my ears,
and, conceiving him to be very rude,
interrupted him by saying, “My papa
always says men should bo civil towom
en,” for which pert remark I got a
scolding from my mother, but Mr. Car
lyle was not offended, and, turning to
her observed, “Lucie, that child of
yours has an eye for an inference.”

Marvelous Results.
From a letter written by Rev. J. Gun
derman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are
permitted to make this remark: “I have
no hesitation in recommending Dr. King’s
New Discovery, as the results were mar
velous in the case of rny wife. While I
was pastor of the Baptist Church at
Rives junction she was brought down
with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would
last hours with little interruption and it
seemed as if she could not revive them.
A friend recommended Dr. King’s New
Discovery; it was quick in its work and
highly satisfactory in results.” Trial

Every one remembers the
old nursery rhyme that goes that way.
Women nowadays do not wear bells on
their toes, but they do wear rings on
their fingers and ears, and we have the
finest line of rings of every description
that money can procure. Wedding
rings, engagement rings, mourning
rings, souvenir rings and everyday
rings. Rings with diamonds and pearls
and rubies and sapphires and every
known gem. All sizes and prices. Come

TIME
TRIED
Time proves the worth of every
thing. It is the test of honesty. It
wears off the exterior and exposes the
solidity or the worthlessness beneath.
There is nothing more susceptible
to time than a piano. The Kranich &
Bach is a piano which has stood the
test of time, which has stood well m
tone, which keeps its perfect action
and elastic touch is as good as any
we can offer you. Beware of judging
hastily. Most pianos sound alike
when they are new. I will be glad to
help any one to piano wisdom who
cares to learn.

OUR CARPET COLUMN!
Why is it that we can sell Carpets and
Smyrna Rugs at 50c. on the Dollar?
Eight years ago the McKinley tariff on Carpets and Rugs gave a great stimulus
to these industries in the United States. Scores of new mills were erected, thousands
of new looms put in to manufacture Carpets and Rugs. The strong competition among
these mills; their increased facilities; their improvements in machinery and manufac
turing; then the Wilson bill, giving us free wool, have all combined to bring the price
downto a little more than half the price of a few years ago. Few people realize how
cheaply they can buy a floor covering—we want every one to know it.
