The Dutch admiral detected the enemy in the early morning, when the sea \.as covered with a thick mist, und his guns opened tire at once without warning. The fire was returned with Interest, the ocean fairly quivering with spasms caused by the shock of frequent discharges. Somehow or 1 other the enemy's shots, which sound- ' ed like n bombardment, seemed to f ill short or go wide of the mark, for not even ft splash of a ball was heard, and the Dutch ships remained unscathed. On the other hand, the Dutch could not see the terrible execution their guns were doing until nearly the middle of the forenoon, when the fog lifted, revealing to their astonished gaze not the vessels of the enemy, but a great rock standing out of the sea. They had been tiring at It for five hours, and the sound of the return shots they heard was the echo from the solid wall of granite. They named the place ltedonda, which means sent, rolled or driven back, and ltedonda It is to this day. One of the Fnnilly. James Seymour, the artist, was born in I.oiulou In 1702. Ho displayed a fondness for drawing and painting in boj'hood and subsequently gained celebrity by ills skill in designing horses. Once the proud Duke of Somerset employed Seymour to paint a room at his seat In Sussex, with the portraits of his ruuning horses. Having admitted the artist to ills table, he one day drank to Ul'OUgr;: ^ j JT eyniour, your health." ei. ^ r replied, "My lord, I really ^m t I have the honor of being^ * ace's family." This) m.. c the pride of the duke so much that he rose from the table and ordered his steward to pay Seymour and dismiss him. Finding, however, that no one In England could complete / thfMt'ctures begun, he condescended to se^ for his cousin. The painter responded to the message in these words: "My lord, I will now prove that I am of your grace's family, for I won't come." Hen Otter Skin. The furrier was taking his stock out of the cold storage room. It came forth frozen stiff and coated with glistening white frost. But there was one beautiful skin that, though Just as stiff as any of the others, had no frost on it. "I want you to look at this skin," he said. "It is the kind that the richest Russians, grand dukes, and so on, have < their overcoat collars made of. It lg a 1 ( sea otter's skin, and it is so expensive ( that often one coat collar of It will cost f $300. It Is unquestionably the best i skin In the world to make coat collars of. Why? Look at this one, and you'll see. All my other skins are 1 with frost, while on this fur no frost ? whatever appears. And that's the reason why sea otter skins make the best ( coat collars. The breath, for some un- ( known reason, doesn't freeze on them." j ?New York Press. I I DlNtlnjrulahed l>y Movement*. | Observant and far sighted persons | aisnnguisn at groat distances a man i 1 from a woman, not by dress, face or i figure, but by movements.
