Tbe ordinary seaman's respect for rank and station when not connected with his beloved vessel is decidedly meager. When the- president of the United States visits one of our men- of-war be is received at the gangway by the admiral, commanding officer and all of the officers of the ship, in full uniform, the marine guard drawn up with the band on the quarterdeck, the national flag Is displayed at the uai&, the drummer gives four ruffles, the band plays the national air, and a salute of twenty-one guns is fired. Hie same ceremony also takes place on t$s leaving. On one occasion a president visited one of the ships informally, dispensing with the salute and ceremony, when one of the men rather indignantly asked aifbther who ..that fubber was on the quarterdeck that didn't "douse his peak" to the commodore. "Choke your luff, will you?" was the reply. "That's the president of the United States." "Well, ain't he got manners enough to salute the quarterdeck, if he is?" "Manners! What does he know •bout manners? I don't suppose he was ever out of sight of life."--*00 a Man-of-War." 1 Follow Forest Trails. "The trail has a code of signs, as well as a book of laws," says Hamlin QarSaud ic "The Long Trail," A twig designedly broken is like a Suger pointing toward a gate. A 'blaxe* cor­ responds to the beckoning hand. A new blaze renders an old one of no value. A sapling cut and bent across a path locks it*and warningly says. *Go no farther this way.' A stick set upright in the mud means 'no bottom here.' "By use of these and many other records of the same sort, the trailer profits by the experience of those who have gone before him and aids those who are to follow. There is always news on the trail for those who have eyes to perceive it, and it is the duty of him who rides ahead to eulighten those who are to follow. The Klikitat by ipeana of signs almost invisible can theer, direct and definitely warn bis tribesman. These signs on the trail are respected. No one thinks of re­ moving them except for cause." At the Dentist's. "Do you give gas here?" asked a wild looking man who rushed into a dentist's. "We do," replied the dentist. * "Does it put a fellow to sleep?" "It does." "Sound asleep, BO you can't wake him up?" "Yes." "You could break his Jaw or black his eye and he wouldn't f#el it?" "He would know nothing about It." "How long does he sleep?" "The physical Insensibility produced by Inhaling the gas lasts a minute,, or probably a little less." "I expect that's long enough. Got it all ready for a fellow to take?" "Yes. Take a seat In this chair and show me your tooth." "Tooth nothing!" said the excited caller, beginning rapidly to remove his coat and vest. "I want you to pull a porous plaster off my hack." Flowers That Change Colof. "There are many flowers that change color," said the old gardener.- "There Is the mutabue phlox, for Instance. At sunrise it is blue, and in the after­ noon It is pink. Then there Is hibiscus --hibiscus mutabilia. It goes through three changes In the day, from white in the morning to rose at noon and to red at sunset. Likewise the lantana:' The lantana is yellow one day, orange the next and red the third. Its changes are slow. There ape other flowers, too, that change. There's the chleranthus chameleo, that shifts from white to yellow and from yellow to red. There's the gladiolus versicolor, that's brown In the morning and blue In the evening. There's the colaea scandens, that moves slowly from greenish white to a deep violet."--New Orleans Times-Democrat Poisoned With Diamonds. The Jeweler replaced tenderly In Its case the unmounted pear shaped dia­ mond. "I could kill you with that," he said. "I could poison you with it You would die in a few hours." "But diamonds are not poisonous?" "In­ deed they are, ground up. There have been a number of suicides by diamond dust among gem cutters. Swallow diamond dust, and death will ensue very quickly. The symptoms will be the same as though strychnine had been taken." NEIGHBORING NEWS AS CHRONICLED BY OUR ABLE CORPS OF CORRESPONDENTS took atrip -* to the Mr B city recently W.
