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. u lAOAMeee 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. IJt«r*ture on • Ferryboat. During the last seven days the follow ing novels were read on a Hoboken fer ryboat by shopgirls on their way to work: “Poor, but Beautiful,” “All For Love of a Fair Face,” “Wheii His Love Grew Cold,” “Mrs. Hathaway’s Re venge,” “The Story of a Blighted Love,” “Bisen; or, Back as From the Dead.”—New York Commercial Ad vertiser. BritUh Mary Salatea. 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 fullness. It is to him who is most ac tive, always thinking, feeling, working, caring for people, that life seems short Strip a life empty and it will seem long enough.” . The finest qomplexicns in the world are said to be in the Bermudan This is accounted for by the fact that the in habitimts live chiefly on onions. •. V I 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. .
