R. MILLS, the minister,
was a stranger in the
town, and he was just
called upon to visit Mrs.
Brown, who had lost her
Husband, and to console her, he went
?round to see Deacon Wilt, so that he
could pott himself about the situation.
"I understand you to say," said Mr.
Mills, "that Mrs. Brown has been mar
rl??d three times? or was It four?"
"I say," replied the deacon, "that
?he was Mr. Brown's third wife, while
lie was her fifth husband. But she
(waa the fourth wife of her second hus.
band, and the second wife of her first,
so that she "
"Let me see," said the parson, "the
second wife of her first and the?well,
then, three and five are eight, and four
are twelve, and two are fourteen?if
I get the hang of the thing. Mrs. Brown
has been married fourteen times, and
Ur. Brown was her "
"No, you don't understand. Brown
IWas only her fifth husband."
"Oh. her fifth. But you said she was
the fourth wife of her second husband,
and she had three more, so that?four
and three are seven?she must have
Siad seven husbands, and where are the
other two?"
"Why. don't you see? Her second
busband was married three times be
fore he met her. She had been married
once "
"How could she be married only
once when he was her second hus
band?"
"Only once btfore she met him, and
(when she married him she was his
fourth wife, so that\wbil, he had had
four wives, she had had only "
"Is this. Brown you are speaking
Of?" 8
"No, no! Brown was her fifth. He
had been married twice before."
- "Her second Brown had?"
"I mean Brown, of course. Let me
?explain. Mrs. Brown, say. married
John. Thomas, Jacob. William and
Henry. Thomas married Lulu. Mary,
Hannah and Susan "
"Before he married Mrs. Brown or
after?"
"Before. Well. then. Brown married
Emma and Matilda, and John married
Agnes. Agnes died, and John married
Mrs. Brown. Then John died and
(Lulu, Mary, Hannah and Susan died,
and then Thomas married Mrs. Brown.
Then Thomas died. Jacob's wife died
and William's wife died, and William
annexed Mrs. Brown. When William
died, Emma and Matilda died, and
then Brown iyarrled Mrs. Brown.
Everybody crme to Mrs. Brown you
aee!" ' 3
"I see." said Mr. Mills. "I think I
grasp the facts. I'll go right around to
aee her."
Mrs. Brown was at home. And after
alluding to the weather and one or two
other topics, Mr. Mills sahl:
"I am deeply grieved. Mrs. Brown,
to hear of your bereavement. It must
be very, very terrible, even for a per
son who is so used to It."
So used to It. What do you mean,
air?"
'Why, I merely meant to suggest
that experience cannot reconcile us to
these afflictions. But there Is this
consolation, dear madam?time dulls
the edge of our bitterest grief. You
wept for John as If you could not be
comforted; but you see you "
^'Johnl I flo not understand you,
You wept for John, but Thomas
came. When Thomas was tsken you
thought yourself utterly Inconsolable;
but there was Jacob?he brought new
Joy. When Jacob was wsfted to a

and when Wltflam drifted off into

"You are talking very strangely, sir,"
aald Mrs. Brown.
"Oh, no; I merely ssy that now that

k Mrs. Brown flew out of the room
(without replying, snd Mr. Mills, filled

Deacon Wilt to explain the mystery.
"I was merely telling her." he said,
"that Brown had followed John, Thom

CUMSIN THC WAR OF ISIS.
There were to tboee day.* two prtn
dnal classes of naval cannon ? long
pin*, often simply called "gaM.** and
carronadee, nays a writer on the War
of 1812 to Scribner's. The guns had
long range, with light weight of ahot
Sred; the carronadee had short range
and heavy ahot. Now In long gun*
the Americana were fonr times u
strong aa the British, whlla la atnm
sdes the British were twice As strong
s: the Americans. It follows that
the American ?*ommodore should prefer
long range to begl^-wHfr, whereag-the
British toauld be careful not to *p
proach within long range, nnleai with
such a breeze as would carry hits
rapidly down to where his carronadee
would come Into play.
There waa another very decisive rea
son why sveh short range favored the
British against the Americans. The
schooners of the latter not being built
for war, carried their guns on a deck
unprotected by bulwarks. The men. be
lug exposed from the feet up. could
l>e swept away by canister, which Is
a quantity of small Iron balls packed
In a case and fired from a cannon.
When discharged these separate and
spread like buckshot, striking many In
a group. They can malm or kill a man,
but their range Is short snd penetra
tive power small. A bulwarked ves
sel was, fo to say. armored against
csnlster; for It makes no difference
whether the protection i3 six Inches of
wood or ten of Iron, provided It keeps
out the projectile. The American
schooners were in this respect wholly
vulnerable.
Over-Insistence upon details of ad
vantage or disadvantage la often wear
I some, and may be pushed to petti
fogging, but these quoted are general
and fundamental. To mention them
is not to chaffer over details, but to
state principles. There is one other
that should be noted, although Its
value may be differently estimated.
Of the great lor.g-gun superiority of
the Americans considerably more thr.n
one-half was In the unprotected schoon
ers, distributed, that is. among several
vessels not built for war and not cap
able of nctlng well together, so as fo
concentrate their Are. There Is no
equality between ten gun* in Ave such
vessels and the same ten concent^??'",

Right to Balld Dsftcot la Scotland,
It is not universally known that tbe !
right of erecting a dovecot was the '
privilege only to be enjoyed in England !
by the lords of tbe manor, and the law
was vigorously enforced on tbls point, i
But In Scotland, according to a statute
still held in observance, nobody lias n :
right to build a cot In either town or
country .unless be Is tbe owner of laud 1
yl?Hding about 900 Imperial bushels of '
produce per annum, and tbls property *
must be situated within at least two
miles of the dovecot, or pigeon house. ;
A further enactment also states that !
on the above-named conditions only j
one cot shall be built.
A distinguished authority on husban
dry estimated that in 1928 there were
20,000 dovecots in England, and thnt
allowing 600 pairs to each house the
damage wrought by birds In devouring
corn would work out at no less than
13,000,000 bushels, that Is, an allow
ance of four bushels yearly to each
pair. Any one who destroyed a cot
was guilty of theft and la so held at
the present time In Scotland (the act
was passed In 1370). while a third of

In her failure to get steady work the

become a lonely, homeless thing of

respected by business men under the
title of "a floater." A "floater" 'is a
girl tramp stenographer who lives
from hand to mouth and town to town,
who gets started rolling round and does
not want any moss, will not stay in
any position long, simply making
enough in each place to get on to the
next. It is an ugly form of wander
lust. The floaters are held unreliable
and firms have become weary of engag
ing them. The number of floaters Is
sadly on the increase. Last month the

and turned his back on me. I suppose
that seat was meant for me, but I
