A STORY OF WATSON.
_ _
AN OCCASION WHEN THE OLD SEA
DOG WANTED TO SWEAR.
Mot Being a Pretax Man, However. Ho
Gave the Job Which Roused HU Wrath
to Fuller, the Boa's** Mate, and Then
Xat Events Take Their Course.
John Crittenden Watson does not be
long to the list of “cussing officers,”
yet as a man-o’-war skipper he never
had a man of his ship’s company aft for
swearing. He was singularly indulgent
of the hard swearers forward. K
“Hard language helps a man along
occasionally,he has been known to
say to one of his deck officers upon over
hearing a stream of maledictions from
the lips of some old flat foot working at
a stubborn job forward, “and it is bet
ter for the men to work off their wrath
over fouled anchor chains in cuss words
than to take it out of each other’s
hide.”
Aboard one of the ships under Wat
son’s command there was an old bos’n’s
mate named Fuller, who had the call
throughout the whole navy as the cham
pion profane man of the government’s
line of packets. Fuller never raised his
voice when he swore. He would simply
stand back and quietly regard the inan
imate object of his wrath—a bent be
laying pin perhaps or a slack ridge rope
-—and then he would open up in an or
dinary conversational tone. But the ut
terances he gave vent to were sulphur
ous. If always took Fuller a good five
minutes to work off what he considered
the necessary number of remarks on
such occasions, and it alVvays seemed,
when he was through, that he had quite
exhausted the whole vocabulary of pro
fanity. But this was a mistake. The
very next tithe anything went wrong
with a. bit of Fuller’s gear he would
start in on a new line that wonld con
tain absolutely not a single repetition
of any of his previous performances. It
was always a source of wonder to Ful
ler’s shipmates, even the old timers,
where he picked up the new ones, all
of which were of startling originality
and force.
These shipmates related only one in
stance in which he found himself at a
loss for words. He was with a landing
party from his ship, marching on the
outskirts of Chemulpo, Korea. He stub
bed his toe on a loose bowlder in the
road and fell on his face in the dust
He picked himself up and looked at the
road. He opened his mouth tb say some
thing, but he had no words. He was
dumb with wrath. Two or three times
he attempted to begin, but it was no
go. He Was stuck for once, so he pulled
out a pistol and deliberately fired it into
the air five times. He had to express his
feelings in someway.
When Fuller was serving aboard
Watson’s ship, he was in good shape,
and his frequent quiet outbursts kept
th6 forward part of the ship keyed up
with wonder as to what was coming
next. One morning at big gun drill
Captain Watson himself was superin
tending the exercise. One of the wooden
cartridges became jammed in the breech
of the 6 inch rifle to which he was de
voting most of his attention. He
wouldn’t permit any of the gunner’s
mates around him to attempt to loosen
the cartridge, but essayed the job him
self. He tugged at the jammed cartridge
and broke his finger nails over it, and
still it wouldn’t come out. It was a
pretty hot morning on deck, and the
perspiration began to roll off his face in
streams, tfiit he persisted in trying to
loosen the stuck cartridge. He leoked
as if be Von id like to say a heap were
he a swearing man, but he wasn’t a
swearing man. When he had been
workii-g for five minutes over the jam
med cartridge with no success, he look
ed pretty helpless and miserable. He
gave one final tug, but the stuck car
tridge remained in the gun’s breech.
The skipper gathered himself together,
mopped his forehead and looked at the
gun.
“Confound it all,” he broke out,
“where’s Fuller? Send me Fuller, some
body.”
Fuller was on hand directly. He
wasn’t a gunner’s mate, and he had
nothing to do with the guns, but Wat
hson wanted Fuller to tackle the jammed
eartridge all the same.
“Fuller, ” said Watson, “try and get
thahdummy out of that gun.”
Fuller looked at the stuck cartridge,
and Watson retreated to the starboard
side of the quarter deck. Fuller made
two or three claws at car
tridge, but it wouldn’t oome out. A
gunner’s mate could have got it out in
a jiffy, but Fuller wasn’t in that line
of the service; He tugged away, but it
was no go. Watson stood regarding the
horizon on the starboard side of the
quarter deck. Fuller spat on his hands
andrmade one more try. The dummy
didn’t move a tenth of an inch. Then
Fuller mopped his forehead with his
neckerchief, clapped his cap on the back
of his head and opened up. It was great
work, this performance of Fuller’s, and
no mistake. He eclipsed all of his for
mer efforts. He stood with his hands on
his sides, looking at the gun breech and
saying things at it that no Morgan or
Kidd or Teach or other defying
pirate could ever have equaled. The
men stood around, just looking at Ful
ler in open mouthed amazement. They
couldn’t make out where he got them
all. They were all In English, but the
combination* were weird. The perora
tion was frightful, although delivered
in the mildest totae imaginable.
When Fuller finished, he mopped his
forehead with his neckerchief again and
Walked over to his commanding officer,
who was looking over the starboard
rail, apparently thinking deeply. Fuller
salutecL
Xl'lt’s stuck proper, sir,” said Fuller.
“Ifcan’t get it adrift”
“Well,” said Watson, ”1 didn’t
think you could, Fuller, but I needed
you. Thanks. You did very well. Go
forward.” —New York Sun.

JAPANESE MUSIC.
„
Th.re*. Art la It That Cannot BsAm
irwd by Occidentals.
To one who never heard it it is impos
sible to give a definite idea of Japanese
music, one who hears it for the
first time it must either repel or strange
ly attract, for its fantastic intervals and
fractional tones demaud a totally new
sense of musical appreciation and eall
into being a new set of musical sensa
tions. It is as if a hitherto closed door
between sense and spirit had been sud
denly thrown open. One feels that if
reincarnation be true, one might through
this door alone remember and recon
struct those vanished existences. Only
in the tones of their own unguisu. a
bird which has but three notes, have I
heard anything so occult.
Japanese music is like Japanese art,
which, with its unperceived spirit,
sense and symbolism, its strange method
of brush handling, might seem merely
grotesque at first, but which gradually
reveals to the initiated eye mysteries
within mysteries of artistic form and
perception, until presently one finds
oneself encompassed by a new art
world, where technio is subordinated
to feeling and whose finest effects are
obtained through the art of omission.
As, for instance, in the greatest paint
ings of Fujiyama, the sacred mountain
itself is discovered to be the bare,
white, unpainted silk, as if color and
line could be but the boundaries and
outer confines of pure isolated idea. So
In Japanese music, its methods are not
ours, its climaxes come in crashes of si
lence, in sustained and soundless pause,
the notes subordinated to a silent some
thing, an inner sense, which, while re
straining or eyen repressing sound, is
the very ecstasy of musical sensation.
In vain we attempted to analyze this
subtle effect, to reduce it to the terms
of our musical consciousness. It defied
and eluded us as spirit must alwaysdefy
and elude sense, and we perforce con
tented ourselves with following the
strange, rounded, isolated notes, sus
taining ourselves breathlessly on its
wonderful pauses and yielding to the
irregular cadenced charm of the singer,
whose face, at first so unremarkable,
seemed to grow of a shining effulgence
as she thus interpreted to ns an un
known worlfL—Washington Star.
IN LEAGUE with magic.
Some Heathen* Who Did Good Miuionary
Work at a Pump.
Lobengula, the late king of the Mata
bele of South Africa, was afraid of Rev.
E. Carnegie, an English missionary at
Hope Fountain, several miles from Bu
lawayo. The Matabele warriors, on the
other hand, looked with suspicion on
the missionary and all his works, but
they knew better than to molest the
friend of their king.
Timo after time in passing the mis
sion house they noticed a force pump at
work, supplying water for the family
and for irrigating the garden. Not un
derstanding what it was for, their un
tutored minds * concluded it was some
sort of magic. It was “intagati,” or
bewitched, and they watched to see
how it was managed that they might
turn the white man’s magic against
himself.
One moonlight night a party of picked
warriors repaired to the bank of the
stream where the pump was. On try
ing it they were jubilant to find that
two men at either handle could do the
trick. Turn and turn about they kept
the pump going for two hours, deter
mined that the missionary should have
all the magic he wanted and a balance
in hand.
Then, exhausted, they went home
ward, ignorant of the fact that they
had filled the missionary’s tank to over
flowing. His good wife hoped that a
similar supply of “magic” might be
furnished every week. New York
Mail and Express.
Artificial Cream.
A cooking teacher tells of a manufac
tured cream that is worth knowing
about in emergencies, when the real
article is not to be had. It is made from
the whites of two eggs, beaten stiff,
with a tablespoonful of sugar and a tea
spoonful of cornstarch. Half a cup of
cold milk is added by degrees and all
beaten, together very stiff. A cup of
milk is heated over the fire, with a
small butter balljmelted in it. This is
allowed to come just to the boiling
point, when it is removed to a cooler
part of the stove and the beaten egg
mixture added. When it has all thick
ened very slightly to about the consist
ency of thick cream, it is taken off and
strained and cooled. This may be used
as cream for serving with fresh or pre
served fruits, but it is needless to add
it will not whip.—New York Post.

A salute in the British navy between
two ships of equal rank is made by fir
ing an equal number of guns. If the
vessels are of unequal rank, the superior
fires the fewer rounds. A royal salute
consists of (1) in firing 21 great guns,
(3) in the officers lowering their sword
points and (8) in dipping the colors.
Phillips Brooks once said that “the
shortness of life is bound up with its

WOMEN A3 SPIES.
They Show Speelal A F tn«de as Seeret
There is one branch of military duty far '
which women show especial aptitude—
that at secret service. They make exeel
tnan men, UMiy are exceedingly axiiinu at
surprising secret*, and since the days of
Delilah many Samson*have been shorn of
their gtrdhgi ■h tlsVOUgh the wiles of de
ceitful women. Still it is scarcely fair to
class all secret service agents as spies. The
exigencies of military service require that
general* shall be furnished with informa
tion as to the cuemy, and the manor wom
an who risks life in order to serve her own
country and cause is quite on another
plane from the Judas who sells hl* own
people for the enemy's gold. Nina Dias
betraying her mother to a convict prison,
with the possible fate of La Cents in re
serve, is an oljoct of execration; Belle
Boyd fording tho l otomac in a heavy
storm of wind and rain at midnight to
carry the news of a premeditated attack to
her brother in Stuart’s cavalry stirs hearts
with admiration for her unselfish courage.
Secret service was carried to the utmost
perfection during the war of the rebellion,
and the government of the United States
spent over |2,000,000 for that purpose.
Yet there were few traitors on cither side.
Many of the spies were women, and it is
often said that sex gave them no protec
tion.
The great obstacle to the successful em
ployment of women as spies is that, with
rare exceptions, women will betray any
one else for the sake of a lover. Nay, more,
in a transport of Jealousy a woman may
betray the man whom she loves to impris
onment and death. If she is in love on
the side which she is serving and her lover
keeps her in a good humor, she is invalu
able. Otherwise disastrous experiences
may occur.
One of the most active and useful agents
of the Confederate government during the
first half of the war of the rebellion was
an English woman of rank—a. Lady
Eleanor N., a relative of Lady Macdon
ald, wife of the late premier of Canada.
Visiting in Richmond during the winter
of 1861 she became engaged to a Virginian
who was later on an officer of high rank
in the southern army, and was, of course,
ready and anxious tb serve him and the
cause which he espoused. A subject of
the British government, residing In Can
ada, with friends in Richmond, she went
back and forth with the mails for the
state department at Richmond. Some
times she went all the way under a flag of
truce. Sometimes the letters were brought
to her in Baltimore and sometimes in
New York. It was not until 1863 that
she was detected, and then chiefly through
her prostration by grief. at the loss of her
lover, who was killed In a skirmish neSr
Richmond. At this news she became care
less, lost the nerve and perfect self posses
sion which had hitherto borne her through
all dangers, and when the letters were
found in her baggage broke down and con
fessed everything.
The Forest* of Cuba.
Cuba still possesses Iff 000,000 acres of
virgin forest abounding in valuable tim
ber, none of which is useful as coarse con
struction lumber, while nearly every foot
would be salable in the United States and
bring high prices. Cuban mahogany and
cedar are particularly well known in the
United States.- The mahogany is very
hard and shows a handsome grain, and is
preferred by many to any other variety in
common use. The moment Spain drops
the reins of government In Cuba and trade
relations are re-established with the States
there will be a movement, both inward
and outward, of forest products which
will have a beneficial effect upon the in
dustry in both countries.
First to feel the force of this movement
toward rehabilitating Cuba will be the
lumbering interests of the south Atlantic
and gulf coasts. Prior to three years ago
they looked upon Cuba as an excellent
outlet for the coarse end of the mill cuts,
and since that market has been closed to
permit the prosecution of a most hideous
and revolting war the coarser grades of
yellow pine produced at coast points have
been marketed with great difficulty and
seldom at a profit. It is unfortunately
true that Cuba will be unable to realize so
promptly from a movement to re-establish
her mahogany and cedar trade, for it Is
claimed by prominent operators that the
industry has been so completely crippled
by the ravages of war that a period of time
running from IS to 18 months will be re
quired before logs can be landed at ports
in this country.—Lumberman’s Review.
H Rememb«r the Maine!”
The fact that certain very excellent peo
ple have come together and formally pro
tested against “Rememberthe Mainer’ as
a warcry, on the ground that it gives ex
presaion to an abominable spirit of venge
ance, with which X heartily agree, was
brought to my landlord’s attention, and I
was astonished by his utterances.
“Isn’t it better,” he said, “to look the
thing square in the face? This 1* a war
of revenge. If we knew at this minute
that every ‘reconoentrado’ would be dead
and buried before we could land In Cuba,
even If we knew that every man on the
island other than the Spaniards and those
who favor them was dead and burled, the
war would go right on. If there had been
no Maine, there would have been no war.
The simple fact is that every man in the
navy, from the admiral down, ‘remembers
the Maine. ’ It may be ‘abominable,' but
there are lots of things of that sort con
nected with war. It makes no difference
what congress said, and I for one don’t
assume that congreu meant What It said.
Among the people, in the army, and espe
cially In the navy, ‘Remember the Maine I’
is the warcry. Every man feels it, every
gun roan it, every shot whistles it, every
flag signals it. It is the root afld branch of
the whole thing."—Time and the Hour.
Sublime Faith.
I know a woman here in town who 1*
fearfully afraid of thunder. She says it
isn’t at all the lightning that frightens
her. She rather enjoy* the glare, but she
can’t endure the noise. She is going to
spend the summer on one of the big wheat
farms in North Dakota, and I went to see
her the other day while she was packing.
In the trey of her trunk she stowed away
with care a long narrow box full of palm
loaf strips. I asked her what In the world
they were, and after a bit of fencing she
said:
“Well, I don’t care, they’re Just palms
—Palm 'Sunday palm*. You know they
have such terrific thunderstorms out
there on the prairie, and 1 simply can’t
stt&d them I’m takng these Palm Sun
day palms for—well, you know if you burn
one 1» will keep a storm sway. ”
“And what does that S. A G. on the
box mean?” I asked.
“Oh,” said she, “that means St. An
thony’s Guidance. If you put that on
anything, it never gets lost. I don’t want
to lose my palms ’’—Washington Post.
