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.

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.

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.

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.
