Order aftfanlla Bay.
Did Admiral Dewey ever give the
"■new historical order, “You may fire
when you are ready, Gridley ?” In
terested spectators of the engage
ment say that thoee worda were nov-
<a spoken, but the sentence wu ar
ranged after the fight was over. The
inaide facts regarding the great May
day battle of 1898 put a new light
on the incident, and one who talked
wjth the admiral soon after that
' ’ battle is authority for the following
Teracious account:
Admiral Dewey never gave the
•order, in those words at leapt. That
utterance wus put in hia mouth by
others and agreed upon as an appro
priate one to hand down to poster
Ity along with tho other famous sav
ings of history.' Soon after the last
shot had been fired and the Spanish
. power in the Pacific was, a thing of
the past the newspaper correspond
ents gathered about the admiral, as
is the custom on such occasions, to
get tho facts for their dispatches.
The admiral told briefly everything
that had taken place, and when he
bad finished- hia.,recital the group
fell to discussing the events of the
-day. Finally one of them remind
ed the admiral that it waa custom
ary for aome famous utterance to be
banded down from every important
•engagement in history; some terae,
brief expression characteristic of
the man who led his forces to. vic
tory. “Didn’t yon make some ut
terance or give some order during
the fight that we can use in this
-connection ?” asked- one of the news
paper men. “No,” replied the com
mander in chief; “nothing in par
ticular that I recollect.”
“Well, didn’t you give some direc
tion 1 of some sort that can be used
ordered the fray to begin?” asked
the correspondent. “Simply order
ed Captain Gridley to-go ahead.”
“Ah I” ejaculated the correspond-
. ents, breathing sighs of relief. And
thereupon the famous order, couch
ed in the words which, have become
known everywhere, was suggested
and agreed upon generally. The
subsequent dispatches were featured
-by the words then arranged and put
into the shape in whuch, the order

DIAMONDS AND JOCKEYS.
Diamond Joe Costcn is one of the
most familiar figures all over the
southern circuit. He carries a num
ber of fine jewels with him, which
he sella to jockeys, trainers, plun
gers and other followers of the for
tunes of the turf.
“I have been following this busi
ness for about forty years,” he said,
“and have handled some fine gems.
I only sell to people I know, and one
of my regulations is to enter into
an agreement with the purchaser to
buy the stone b*ek if he wishes
within fire years from the date of
purchase at 5 per cent less than he
paid me for it. Jockeys love jewelry
more than any other class of men.
Some young rider will win a race,
make a killing, and will get to feel
ing pro It-- good. One of the first
things he docs is to buy a lot of
jewelry, and I have made a etudy
of being on hand to furnish him
with just what he wants. One day
not many months ago I sold a
jockoy $1,200 worth of diamonds.”

Artificial Cultivation of Bpongoo.
An interesting investigation now
being carried on in Florida by tha
bureau of fisheries has for its ob
ject the discovery and development
of methods by which the valuable
aheep wool sponge may be cultivat
ed artificially.
The method which promises the
most satisfactory results is that of
using cuttings. Large aheep wool
sponges are cut into small pieces,
which arc fastened to an insulated
wire fixed in the water, so that the
sponges arc supported a few inches
above the bottom. These small bite,
placed at close intervals along the
wire, soon heal and form an organic
attachment to it, and very soon be
gin to grow. It is too soon to pre
dict just what the results will be,
but tho indications are, so far, very
encouraging, and it is believed that
the time is not far distant when the
sponge fisheries of Florida will be
vastly increased in productiveness
and value. — National Geographic

A table has been prepared and is

merce and labor, indicating that, de
spite the great size of the appropria

more cheaply'maintained than any
other id the world, with the-excep
tion of China and India, and pos
sibly Russia. It-costa, according to
this, just $7.97 a year for each man,

At a dinner given some time ago
in honor of Hall Caine, Thomas
Nelson Page was invited to intro
duce the English novelist. One of
the guests next to Mr. Pago, just
before the toasts began, passed hia
menu card 'around the table with
the request that Mr. Caine put his
signature on it.
“That’s a good idea,” said Page.
“I must do tlmt, too. I’vo got to in
troduce Caine in a few minutes, and
I wanlfto ho able to s#y that I have
read something ho has written.”
A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Why ths Sneering Remarks Did Not
Bother tho Clergyman.
. A clergyman who was 1 raveling
stopped at a hotel much frequented
by wags and jokers. •
The host, not being used to hav
ing a clergyman at his table, looked
at him with surprise. The guests
used 'nU their raillery of wit upon
him without eliciting a remark.
•The clergyman ate his dinner
S uietly, apparently without obsorv-.
ijf the gibes and 6necrs of hia
neighbors.
One of them at last, in despair
of his forbearance, said to him:
“Well, I wonder at your patience!
Have you not heard all that has
been said to you?”
“Oh, yes; but I am used to it. Do
you know who I am ?”
“No, sir.”
"Well, I will inform you. I am
chaplain of a lunatic asylum. Such
remarks have no effect upon me.”—
