One Door Above B*ruch?N?ttl4f4 HE GOT THE FANS Officer, Met Objections of Hie Suneriors in Washinoton. Offered to Transfer On* of hit Heavy weight Ensigns to Mako Room for Extra Equipment When a squad of civilian volunteers went on a battleship training cruise, Lieut. F. H. ltoberts one day told them about service with the destroyers. "No special attempt" he told the volunteers, "Is made in selecting the men to serve In torpedo craft, wheth er they are fat meu or lean men, short men or tall men. The character and spirit are developed by association af 'ter their arrivals As a rule, they are older than the men on the battleship*. "You all know that one of the char acteristics of a destroyer is ability to wake high speed. To this end it has always been the policy of the naval constructors to keep fittings of the vessel strong but of light weight. No chances were ever lost by the naval constructors In lightening the destroy ers by removal of any ttttlngs that they considered unnecessary." To Illustrate: A flotilla of destroy ers was dispatched from the Atlantic coast to the Philippines via San Juan, the Azores, the Mediterranean; the ? Sue/; canal, Indian ocean and the West Indies, It so happened that on one of these destroyers the commanding officer'was a man weighing 230 pounds. Ills two assistants, both tlveh ensigns, each ^yeighod well over ii<K> pounds. Out of & half-dozen chief petty ollicers three of them were-lAeavy weights, and in the rest of the crew were two ot hers of the suhie avoirdupois. Upon arrival In the Philippines the weather was hot and sultry, the sun keeping the decks of the vessel warm, adding another torment. The vessel's original allowance list had included one electric fan, so the Commanding oflicer submitted a requi sition requesting that a fan bo fur nished for the wardroom, and one in 'each compartment in which the crew were quartered, a total of live fans. The request In due time reached Washington, and some three months later was returned disapproved lis the bureau did not wish to add any un necessary weight to the vessel for fear of reducing Its spf/ed. Nothing daunted, the commanding oflicer returned the requisition with u statement thereon of the weights of himself, his two commissioned assist ants and other members of the crew und requested that one of these heavy weights be transferred and that a man weighing about 150 pounds be sent in | his place. The fans \*ere forthcoming and no- .1 body was transferred. Since that time 1 electric fans are among the^few com- J forts found on destroyers. Losses Infwasf. London.

'? . > Effects of Fear. The coward uu tho field of battle j dlos ninny times whether dentlv.comes i to him or not. Not only on the field of battle do ! men suffer fearsome deaths but In j various walks of life. Their fenr of faHure makes weaklings of them, Just j as the fear of disease renders them fit subjects for it. It was not long since that some j thoughtless companions of a young lady who lind a horror ofVmallpox told her j that she had been exposed to the dis ease and pointed to some innocent red j splotches on her /ace as evidence that she was taking It. For days and nights ' she suffered from pain and fever and ] mental anguish. Upon learning the J facts In the case the physician assured her that she had not been exposed to the disease and that ther'e were no symptoms of it. She thereupon took a ? turn for the better and rapidly .re gained her health. This is but one of the constantly re curring Instances of the effects of fear on the mind and through it on* the body. ? GENERAL XKJI'S NOTES The residence of the late Mrs. I,il He M. Douglass In Chester county, valued at $7,000, was destroyed by fire Monday. The loss is partially covered by iusuranee.

JUST MAKE A FRESH START It It Only Way b Remedy Mittakft On# Hu Made ft Paat Cannot Be Lived Over Again. Now nnd then a man pauses to take account of stock, and took* back rqe fully over the course of UIm lift- to* note the iiiuny plucrs wIhmv he made the wrong turn or whn shoved ??rf the track l?y adverse circumstauce*. He says to himself, believing what he says, that If he could retrace hi* steps and take a fresh start, knowing what he knows now, ho would not make Much a mess of things again. He cun put Ida finger down on the very spot In the map of his life whore he wont wrong, There was u blurred place on (hi* trail, where there was no trace of the footprint of uny who passed that way and no mark of the woodman's ax upoivo tree. ,^It was fof.hhu aloue to choose the way to take, and in his haste and fever to arrive ho Ihoxe wrong, uiul has wan dered ever since. A man plays a game, or runs a race, or conducts a business, or marries a wife, or chooses a friend, or elects a calling, or forms a habit?and by and by the conviction is borne in upou him, like a growth* weighing on tho bruin, that ho was in error. Now It is too late to retrieve, says the, Philadelphia Led* ger. H<4 must wear for the remainder of his days the millstone due to the wrong decision. What is he to do? He strangled his chance new-born. He ex changed his birthright for pottage. It | Ik of no avail to plead that ho had had ! advisors, that he was misled, that ha j was I he tool of environment, that a | base heredity rose up to claim him und 1 a latent faint In the blood broke out I and wrought an Irreparable mischief, j The past Is there, und Its legend Is | deeply graven on his brow or soared by the lbrand of the Iron that has en tered Into his soul. Can ho go back? The years ami TIuTelosud Uoofs amnitfT finished chapters tell him no. Bat the forward look and the fulur-4 ity< provide him with a better way to take. When Mrs. Pjeterkln, In tho story, had spoiled her cup of coffee by put ting salt In It and was trying to re deem the error by tin? neutralizing ac tion of all sorts of chemicals, the lady from Philadelphia suggested that she mako a fresh cup. Seeing that you can't go back, why not make a fresh start exactly where you are? Decision has a -miraculous way of finding a standpoint of rock In the middle of a quicksand. His Way of Application. Tl\e colored . laborers Svho were patching the street for the street cnr | company, were discussing the fate of ; one Henry they had known. "Yes, sir," said one, "Henry was I found with two bottles of whisky on I him last Sunday, and was taken to I court." The crowd stopped work to listen to the tale. The foreman was not in l sight. ^ "Well, when he was taken up in court," the speaker continued, "Judge Deery fined him $10 and sent him off to the workhouse." All the men glanced hastily around. "And Henry was there only two | days and someone (It Is always \some | r>ne') up and made him a guard. Now j Henry Is working as a guard over the other prisoners and is getting good pay besides." * "But," mourned the youngest one of ! the crew, "if I had done that they would have kept me there all 5rear." "It's all in the way you apply, for | the job." said the narrator of the i story,?IndlnflrtpoHs News. Crow Is Omnlverous. In order .to get a living in New England during the winter the crow has developed a catholic appetite, and persons who have made a study of the bir^ and its bill of fare say that the crow is omnlverous in the broadest sense of tlie word. -In a pinch he will eat anything. -The-fTrincipal items on j his bill of fart* are beetles, spiders, I weevils, grasshoppers, moths, butter [ flies, caterpillars, bees, nnts, wasps, flies, crabs, shrimps, snails, fish, toads, frogs, young chickens, wild birds and their eggs, carrion and all sorts of plants and grains, both wild and culti vated. Corn constitutes a large pro I portion of the grain eaten*, and this : Is one of the principal grievances of the farmer against the' crow. A bird with such a catholic taste In food Is obviously well prepared to meet hard ' times and the high ?ost of living. The crow will kill ahd eat small snakes. {Ho will eat small mammals up to the size of a cottontail rabbits?Hartford Courant. Simple Instructions. Reginald bought an evening tie, and, wishing to be immaculate, asked the shop assistant to tell him the correct way to tie a bow. - * "Well, sir," said the obliging assist ant, "you hold the tie in your left hand and your collar in the other. Slip your neck in the collar and cross the left hand end of the tie over the right with the left hand, steadying the right end with the other hand. Then drop both ends, catching the left with the right nnd the other with the'other. Reverse hands and pick up the loose end with the nearest hand.
