too UDYUKE FOR "CRAMPA"
Old Qentleman Couldn't Recall Sallom
In Hla Ttm? Doing Anything
Llka Skipping Hop*.
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! Rather j>ecullar thing to do
after leaving your wife and enlisting
and being under sealed order* that
probably were taking you to Fracce !
Boot Soles Fertilizers.
Many devices have been su^ge^ied
for the utilization of old army boot
soles, the chief being concerned with
fuel production. Hut a periodical, 'be
Fertiliser, proposes to use them for
stimulating the growth of beans arid
peas.
The plan suggested h Mutt of car
bonizing purt of the leather Into
blnck and extracting sulphate of am
_niciiia from the residue
f ? n II l/n r? ,

way of making both ends meet.? Loo

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. But
?ven without these the army of t lie
disabled reaches the impressive and
terrible total of more than 5.500.<**J. ?
