Grampa served In the navy quite a while ago under Admiral Farrago* or lohn Paul Jones or some of tho.se per sons. lii those days, you remember, all sailors wort? Horace Greeley whisker!! and had either a profane PUirot, a woodou log or a girl |h every, port. Grampa'a granddaughter, ('or dolln May. keeps company with a ma chinlst's mate, tlrst clans, on the de stroyer Dyer, now with the other de stroyers In the Hudson river. His name Is Duck. Huok thought Cordelia May would like It If he invited Grampa to come along with her to visit .the Dyer. Cor delia May didn't like It at all, a* s ..matter of fact, hut Grampa accepted with alacrity. "Ilow'd you like It, Pa?" inquired I Cordelia May's mother, when tirnmpa j got hack home. ''DJhave a good time?" "I did not," said Grnmpu. "What did Cordelia May do?" Ma though'! she knew right away whore . to hang 'the guilt. Hut she was wrong. "She didn't do uothln' except gawk at tbat lubher of her'n," said Oraiupa, "but the navy's gone t'hell, Unit's what." "No Mich a thing. " demurred Ma. "They leave here first o* May for New port, an' you heard Hi) Ok say that your self." "Sissies! Old ladles! Milk an' wa ter hoys!" Griimpa exploded. "Why, Mary, guess what the first thing 1 saw on that frign.le was?" Ma had never served on a destroyer, so, of course, couldn't guess. "Why, 1 a great hlg lub of a lad and what was he doin' but sklppin' rope ! Sklppin* rope, inlnd ye! ' A Sailor sklppin' rope I 1 looked about iue expecting to find the rest of the crow playin' postofllc^ with one an other. Sklppin' rope!" Qrainpa groaned at the thought. Buck meanwhile had arrived and overheard. He gave the loud, yaueous laugh of a machinist's mate, first class, who is amused at something. "Y>on't say a word to him," he cau tioned Ma and Cordelia May later, when Grampa had gone to bed to dream of John Paul Jopes 'playing tid dly winks with Admiral Fa rr a gut on a rose-bedecked battleship. "Don't say a word, but the guy he saw skipping rope Is Soakeru Sloeum, the heavy weight champion of the flotilla. He'# getting in trim for the bouts up at Newport." ? New York Sun. 8ays Americans Avoid Sunlight. One feature struck me in the schools, and It also struck me In the hotels and in private houses, and that is the avoidance of sunlight. A well-conduct ed window In America must have lace curtains drawn across It, and two blinds, one brown and one green, pulled accurately half-way down. IS ven In the great country houses, where no one could look in, and no one look out without seeing spacious lawns and? flower beds, the curtains are closed and the blinds are drawn half-way down. Living in them Is like living In the house of an owner who Is half dead. The electric light Is all" Hie time turned on full. Kven In the hotels If you leave your room for half an hour, having raised your blinds, you will find them carefully drawn down again on returning. The large number of folks ? clerks In offices, workers in fac tories, attendants on elevators,. bell boys and hotel clerks ? who live their life in artificial light forms u large percentage of the population, and this absence of out-door life may account to some extent for the pallid and ski low complexion of those who have to endure it. It certainly cannot be healthy.? Sir Arthur E. Shipley In the Outlook. Didn't Do the Expected. "It Is hard to forecast what a per son will do or say under stress." said a former army -officer. \ "We were taking a troop train through a town In Kentucky during the war, when a sergeant came up to me and said that the town was the home of one of the men, who had been rnarried'Just before he Jolrfett'Vh^'lirnrtfy, and that If we were going to stop for any length of tlm*?, perhaps the man In question might be permitted to sec his wife. "I hustled around and got word to the wife that her husband was on the troop train. She cam^ a few minutes before the., Y*frla.?was ^eady to leave. The soldier rushed k out to meet her and instead' ofc throwing bis arms around her he reached into his blouse pocket and handed her a handful of cigars!

' 1 IMIIH OF ODD DESIGN " - *? . I Timepieces of Long Ago Were Masterpieces of Art Mary Queen oC Scot* Had a Collection of Watchea of Peculiar and Greweome Shape. The fragile watch of dainty pattern and design which toduy la'n favorite among women is In striking Contrast to aoine of I he watches which wore fa mous centuries ago. Many of these tvm ?( enormous size and of the most ornate design, re marks a writer in the Dearborn In dei>eudent. Mary Queen of cM.<ote was the pos sessor of a death's head watch which waa of silver gilt and most elaborate ly ornamented. The forehead of the skull bore the symbols of death, the *cythe and hourglass placed between a palace and a cut i age to show the itu partlulity of the grim destroyer. At the hack of the skull was Time* de stroying nil things, and at the top of the head, scenes of the Garden of Eden and the crucifixion. The watch wus opened by reversing the skull, plac ing the upper part of It in the hollow of the hand and lifting the Jaw by the hinge, this part being enriched by engraved representations of the holy trinity, angels and shepherds with their Hocks. The works of the wutch forth Od the brains of the skull and were within a silver envelope which acted a illusion Hy^toned bell, whl|e the dial plate was in the place of the palate. 'Hie curious work of art was made at Blols and, tit her death, was bequeathed by Mary Queen of Soots to her 'ma4d of honor Mary Seton. In 1587. It afterward came into the possession, of Sir John Dick Lander. Another skull watch which once l>e longed to Mary Queen of Scots by its Inscription nnd date. shows that Francis 11 of France presented It to his young wife1 many years be fore watches were supposed to have been brought to Kngland from (Jer many. I Queen Mary wus evidently a collect or of watches of unique design. She is said to have possessed one In a case of crystal, shaped like a coffln, and another made at Rouen, In which a thread of catgut supplied, the place of a chain. Some of the early watches were so small as to be set Iq the head of walking sticks, the clasp of bracelets, or In pendants, and there Is a .record of ti striking watch which was mounted In a ring, In the year lf>42. At the Strawberry Hill sale Queen Victoria purchased a little clock of brass-gilt, which had been presented to Anne Boleyn by Henry VIII, upon their marriage in ]T>32. It is richly chased and engraved and Is still at Windsor castle. The clock placed In-one of the tow ers at the palace at Hampton court In 1551 Is suld to be the oldest Hiig llsh-inade clock extant. When In ac tion It shows the motions of severai of the planets. The dial and several of the wheels attached to the back of the dial still remain. t Carrier Pigeon's Swift Flight. A carrier pigeon, the record of < which has been used for the purpose of comparlsou with the performance of man on the 220-yard course, was the property of A. E. llarman. The race took place at Washington, where this sport is very frequently indulged In. The record of this particular flight Is preserved in the records In the Mu seum of Natural History, and was tak en from the Washington Star of Sep tember. 17, 1901. According to the best authorities available, the record jnade by Mr. Herman's pigeon bus never been equaled, although it was established almost two decades ago. On this occasion the race was be tween about 20 birds. The pigeon of Mr. Harman cume In first, and his best time was 1,782 yards for the first min ute of flight, jvhich means 7 4'i3-8i)l seconds for 220 yards. So, of the four ofllPtal >ec(*??i*Sf"ftt wyi be noted that while- a'Yunner has , made his 220 yards In 20 4-5 seconds, the carrier pigeon is almost three times as fast. The Army of the Disabled. The international labor bureau at Geneva has prepared statistics showing the number of men disabled* during t lie '?jfreat war. France leads the list With l.mooO-Yolditfrs " 'crippled or ' other wise |?ermanently Injured ; Germany runs a close second with 1,400,000. Al lowing for the smaller population of France, thfs means that French Indus try must support a heavier burden of the Incapacitated than German. Great Britain contributes 1.170,000 to the army of disabled; Italy, f?70,000; the United States, 200,000; O.echo- Slova kia, 17^,000; Jugo-Slavia, 160,000; JPo land. 150,000; fjinnda. 88.000; ltou manla, 84,000; Belgium, 40.<x)0. Kx cept for Germany and part* of the old Austria Hungary which are now allied states. the statistics of former enemy countries ure. lacking. Russia disabil ity statistics are also wanting.
