Nelson and the Coxswain.
Jost before the batlie of Trafalgar,
says Rev. Edward Everett Hale,a mail
was sent from the English fleet to
England, and word was passed (that it
might be the last chance to write be
fore the expected battle
The lettere had been collected from
the ships, the letter bags were on
the vessel which was to take them, and
she bad got some distance away, under
full sail, when Lord Nelson saw a mid
shipman come up and speak to Pasco,
the signal offioei, who, upon hearing
what he said, stamped his foot In evi
dent vexation, and uttered an excla
mation. The admiral called Pasco,
and asked what was the matter. “Noth
ing which need trouble your lordship,*’
was the reply. “You are not the man
to lose your temper for nothing,’’
rejoined Nelson. “What was It I"
“Well, If you must know, my lord, I
will tell you. You see that coxswain!”
pointing to one of the most active of
petty officers. “We have not a better
man on the Victory, and the message
which put me but was this. I was
told that be was so busy receiving and
getting off hie mail bags that he for
got to put hie own letter to his wife
into one ol them, and he baa just dis
covered it in his pocket ”
1 Hoist a signal to bring her back,”
was Nelson’s instant command. “Who
knows that be may not fall in action
tomorrow! Hie letter shall go with the
rest.” And the dispatch vessel was
brought about for that alone.
Capt. Mahan tells this charming
story on the authority of the son of
Lieut. Pasco, who used to saylbat it
was no wonder the sailors idolized
Nelson, who was always thinking ol
them.

Th* Haro of Thia War.
The absolute, real, undoubted hero of
thio war Is not Admiral Dewey, sinking
all the Spanish fleet at Manila, nor Hob
son, sinking a portion of the American
fleet at Santiago, nor Shafter, driving out
the fleet of Oervera and capturing an army
double that of his own, nor Sampson and
his subordinates, sending Oervera to de
struction, nor SO others we could name,
but it is Ensign Curtin, landing at the
port of Ponoe and with inimitable cheek
sending his ultimatum to the commander
of the Spanish forces at Ponce bytela
phone!
Os all the astonishing incidents of this
war nothing for novelty approaches this,
and Mr. Curtin should go down in history
as the originator of the “Hello” method
of reaching military results. The illimit
able gall of this youth deserves to be crys
tallised in history. Murat and Lannes, by
their capture of the tote du pent at Vien
na, have been handed down as the typloal
Gascons, but Mr. Curtin has outbraved
them all.
The Army and Navy Journal, which ex-
Ki to chronicle the official reports of the
e of Armageddon, hardly hopes to re
cord anything hereafter which for pure
impudence will exceed this occurrence.
The only thing that could rival it would
be for another ensign to send a district
messenger boy to Sagasta with an ultima
tum to be answered in 16 minutes.—Army

By means of a large numlvr at ob
servations Mr. J. W, Tutt to able to
confirm what has been stated by other
observers that certain butterflies and
moths are very much addicted to drink.
In a paper published in the “proceed
ings'’ of the South London Entomolog
ical and Natural History society Mr.
Tutt says there can be no doubt that
butterflies drink more than to required
by their tissues under any possible con
ditions. Ho has known PoJyommatus
damon to rit for more than an hour mo
tionless except for the alight movement
of rocking up and diacharging the
moisture almost continuously.
What this internal bath may really
mean cannot be surmised. Another im
portant factor as to this drinking habit
to a strange one, the "thirsty souls,’’
aa far as his observation goes, being al
most entirely males. Possibly If exact
observations could be made it might be
found that females in small numbers
also visit puddles, pools and streams
for drinking purposes, but as far as Mr.
Tutt has been able to discover it is the
males alone who indulge in these copi
ous libations, while the females are
away laying eggs. Moths and butter
flies of both sexes visit sugar, overripe
fruit and similar dainties, but tfiey do
so for food. The males alone seem to be
attracted by pure water, and Mr. Tutt
suggests that, their extra 'activity hav
ing originally given them greater need
in this direction, a habit which was at
first a necessity has become so pleasur
able that excessive drinking has literal
ly become a vice.

The Conductor’s Mistake.
The street car conductor was not in
good humor, says the Detroit Free
Press. Some one had passed a
bad quarter upon him and
that accounted lor his starting the car
befoie the three women and a child
were fairly aboard.
Ooe of the women was mad al be-
dumped without warning into a
seat; the .conductor saw that as he
started to collect their fare, but he was
mad, too. <
“Madame,” he said, as she tendered
her fare, “this child that is with you
will have to be paid for aS well.*
“I haven’t the slightest idea of pay
ing its fare,” snapped tbs woman.
“Then I shall put it off,” answered
the conductor, reaching for the bell
rope.
“You don’t dare,” flashed the wo
man. v "
Tingl The conductor brought the
car to a stop, picked up the child, and
deposited it upon the street, and rang
to go ahead.
“Madame,” be said grimly, “you
will find your child back there on the
corner.”
“My child!” snapped the woman.
‘•lt isn’t mine.”
“Whose is it, then!” gasped the
' conductor.
“I haven’t the slightest idea,” she
[ answered cooly.
Then the child’s mother, who bad
been engaged in an exciting discus
sion with her friend over the merits ol
a new gown, awoke to the fact that
her child was missing, and then the
fireworks that played around the un*
’ fortunate conductor’s head reminded
' him of a Fourth of July display.
