Spain Has Nevi.r Shown Much Capact tr In the Art of Naval Warfare. Spain is not and never was a seafighting power. She has won no naval victory since the battle of Lepanto three centuries and a quarter ago, anil that was won largely by Venetian crews. Even when her power and wealth seemed irresistible, when her military reputation was at its height; when the world was strewn with her territories and the ocean laden with her argosies and fleets, her real naval power was utterly incommensurate with the astonishing pretensions which it made. As soon as England and Holland laid a finger on it her maritime empire crumbled intd dust: The armaria only revealed a fact which Englis i sailors had long suspected, and the co)tsciounessof which explains Drake's sublime contempt for the menaces of Spain the fact that, even at the zenith of their fame, the Spaniards had nd mastery of the arts by which the sea is held, says the Minneapolis Times. Klnce Lepanto Spain has on the ocean fought England, Holland, Italy, some of the various combinations of the German states and nearly every other country of Europe, small and great, and most of the nations of Central and South America, but she has won no battle which has had the faintest effect toward bettering her own fortunes, or which has altered in the slightest degree the general current of history. For more than 300 years Spain's conduct in it naval wars has been below contempt In the battle of Trafalgar in 1805, xhe last of the more important battles in which Spain has participated) Nelson made Short work of the Spanish fleet, the only serious resistance Offered to him in the battle being by Spain's French allies. To-day her gunners and engineers are confessedly the worst In Europe. It would be little short of a miracle if It should turn out that within the last two decades Spain had bred a race of seamen capable of reversing the unvarying misfortunes of the past
A FATALITY AVOIDED Front th bemaertd, Goth en. Ind. When neuralgia is accompanied by a dnlt, heavy pain near the heart, frequently becoming intense, it generally terminates fatally. Mrs. Nancy Flynn, who liven near Goshen, Ind., survived such an attack and her advice is worth heeding. "In the fali of 02," she snid, "I begun to have trouble with my heart. There
was a sharp pain in my breast, which be
came rapidly worse. The doctor was pus-
d put me under tne innuence of
opiates. These sharp attacks followed one
another at intervals and I became weak and had a haggard look. I was constantly in pain, seldom slept and had no appetite. "At the end of two years I wns confined to my coach most of the time and the doetors agreed that my death was only a matter of a short time.

Those pills have done for yon what we conld not do,' said one of my physicians; 'they bave saved your life.' That was two years ago and my heart has not troubled me since. I believe I owe my life to Dr. Williams" Pink Pills for Pale People, and I take pleasure in telling others about them." Among the many forms of neuralgia areheadache, nervousness, nernlysis, apoplexy nnd locomotor ataxia. Some of these were considered incurable until Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People were formulated. To-day thousands testify to having been cured of such diseases by these pills. Doctors frequently prescribe them and all druggists sell them.
Longfellow at Cambridge. In 1836, when Lowell was a sophomore, Mr. Longfellow came to Cambridge, a young man, to begin his long and valuable life in the college. His presence there proved a benediction, and, I might say, markn an epoch in the history of Harvard. In the first place, he was fresh frotge, and he gave the best possible stimulus to the budding interest in German literature. In the second place, he came from Bowdoitt College, and lb those days it was a very good thing for a Harvard under-graduate to know that there were people not bred in Cambridge quite as well read, as intelligent, as elegant and accomplished as any Harvard graduate. In the third place, Longfellow, though he was so young, ranked already distinctly as a man of letters. This was no broken-winded minister who had been made professor. He was not a lawyer without clients, or a doctor without patients, for whom "a place" had to be found. He was already known as a poet by all educated people.

CIIAPTKIt XII (Continued.). The end of Si-ptepilicr was npproitching, nml they '.vere debuting in their linppy minds whether it would he more delightful to go on to Italy or tn return home, a word piij-se-ssing it n eiiinl cliiirm f"t' both now. when their ninv cuts were decided by a iett r from Mrs. KHesmere: "My Drur Tom i have this morning received news of (lie death of poor Tom Ncvil, el' typhoid fever. The shock has
been so terrible to poor Sir Thoinn "hat it is feared lie will not recover from It. He has MImi into n state of apathy from which nothing can rotisp him, and any i tiny lie may die. t'mler the circumstance!., j yon lieimr t ie next li.-ir. ilo you not think j yon ottg it to retlirn id England? I'nor j Tom leaves two little glfi. tiiid t liare , ascertained that there is ho (xpeetulioh of !

able to receive vnu on vonr relnri unless j
yon particularly desire it, ns I think young
people are best left to themselves jutt nt first. Give my kindest love to dear June,
und lielu've me "Yo;ir . ffoetionntc mother, "VIOLET ELLESMERE." This news caused Tom the deepest concern. Xo 1 hough t of the benefit likely to arrrne to himself from the miiifoftntie of his kinsfolk entered his brain as he rend the Ipttor; all he felt was sheer sorrow. And June, the tenderest hearted crenture in the world, cried for pity of the poor bereaved wife whose anguish she wat now fully able lo comprehend. What could they do for her? They laid their heads together and made all Ports of plans by which ultimately her grief was to lie 'Ightened, and then, between them, tliey wrote her the kindest totter that two sympnthiiitig young hearts could devise. And so they retraced their steps slowly homeivsrd. In Poris they received the news of Sir Thomas death. The rejoicings add honors that had been planned for the young couple's return were, by Tom's especinl request, foregone. He departed at onne for the North, to attend Sir Thomas KevH'a iuncral, and .Ijitie cried ail the evening and half the night, so heart-broken was she at being bereaved of her lord; and, like all tender, foolish women who love, she tormented herself with fenrs for his tuifety, and wrtc him four sheets of paper covered principally by expressions of endearment which might have seemed monotonous to another person, but .rer.heavenly sweet to the recipient. On Tom's return June quite startled nt being addressed as "my tady" and hearing him called fiir Thomas. It wns rather bewildering to her to think or herself as Lady Nevil. It lit not often that a person bears three names in less than six weeks, lu that time she had been Miss Rivers Mrs. Ellesmcre Lady Nevil. Tom was tolerably Indifferent to social honors himself, but it pleased him hugely to hear his darling called "my lady." CHAPTER XIII. The months rolled on and Sir Thomas and Lady N'evi! were as happy ns united lovers in n story book. June is quite a great lady now, and by no means indifferent to the fact that she is so. although she hours lier honors in the most modest nnd tuass'imfng way. Agnes had gone with a friend to Italy for the winter, extremely thnnkfnl to escape from the sight of the happiness Which Whs gall and wormwood to her. Tom deserved to lie happy, and ht was happy. When, in September, the bells rang and Hie announcement was made that there was an heir to the houses of Ellesmere and Nevil, his happiness seemed alnjDst too much for him. After Christinas they were to have a scries of guests at the Hall. Dalian was to cone for n couple of dnys, for Tom would have lnnghcd to scorn the thought of being jealous of any living man now. Mrs. Trevnnion nnd her sou, an Eton boy of seventeen, were expected, stid tuo or three other young people for Madge's especial benefit. Madge adored .Tunc more than ever, and June !jnd promised that if they took n bouse far the season in town, Madge should no to them for a whole month. Tom made a terribly wry face over the bonse in town, bat he bad no Idea of thwarting June, who was rather bent tipon it, and only stipulated that he should be there on and off, nnd that the baby should not be taken to Pandemonium, Her hulyshlp wanted the whole family to migrate, and the first time thnrc had ever been tie shadow of a tiff between them was wlicn Tom offered serious opposition to her wishes on this score. Tom would not hare that precious life endangered by the pestilential atmosphere of London, June was not used to hearing him say would and would not. And, as the young Sir Tiiomns was ns robust as any infant iu the world, sho was rather incensed at what s ie chose to consider her husband's foolishness. So tie shed some tears of mixed nliger, pain ind humiliation, and said, being "very !ike it woman," that he did not care whether sho was injured by going to London; t which he, after kissing away her tears, replied with sound good senile that it wan not by his wish she wns going, and he win Id gladly put down live hundred pounds there and then if she would relinquish the idea. lint this iier ladyship wns not disposed to do. Her mother-in-law had told her that this step war- due to her position, and June, being young and keenly dispose! for pleasure and enjoyment, had rather set her heart on a London season. Tom gave in to everything she wished, exei pt nbout the bnlu-. If she had known that Tom's ohsiinaey was being fostered hy Agnes, she would probably have set very vigorously to work to counterbalance that amiable young lady's innuence. Agnes afflectcd an unbounded devotion to Trim's son nml heir; perhaps he felt it. She ingratiated herself with the nurse, waylaid her when she walked abroad, pe.id constant visits to the nursery at such times as June was likely to be out driving. This brought her into fre
quent contact with Sir Thomas, and he became quite grateful for tier devotion to
hi child and entirely forgi ve ami forgot
the bad turn she had done him in trying
to delay his marriage. She made little
innuendoes, accentuated by sighs or notes of exclamation. How could June leave tl it darling? How could nnyoiie, surrounded by such blessings, with such a child, such a busbnud, want to quit them for a life such as people led in Loudon In artless, selfish, unsatisfying? Whnt cculd compensate for home joys. For her purt. It was utterly Incoinprehei) slide to her. Tom defended his wife naid she wns young nnd beautiful and fond of pieasurc; what more natural than that she should like to go into society? Besides, it wns chiefly his mother's doing, ivho had jersuadeii her. But Agnes' words certainly stabbed him in a tender spot. "Hut for both of you to go away anil leave that darling!" cried Agnes, with a rear in her eye. "Suppose he should be iteised with convulsions, or something were to happen to him? Servants are never
of any use In an emergency." "Oh," said Tom, not without a sense of alarm ht her. words, "I shall lie here most of the lime." ".lune will not let you. She will not stay in London without you. I wonder it does Hot occur to her how dreadful it is td leave that angel to hirelings!" "June wants to take him with us; she Is most anxious not to bo parted from him." "But it wo tld lie madness to take him to Lniulon, Here, you know, lie has the purest milk from your own cows, anil I hnre heard that hundreds and thousands of babies die in London of typhoid fever from Impure milk." Tom, only too ready to take nlarm, vowed to himself that, whatever happened, that precious life should not be endangered by n visit to the metropolis. "One thing," said Agnes, with fervor, "I shall go tp to the Hail every day to See the darling, and I don't think anything trill eu-ape my eye, I suppose," hesitating, "June will not consider me too offlcious, will she?" "Officious!' replied Tom, heartily; "she will be tremendously grateful to you." "And nnd when you are in town, shall I write you about him? I could tell you a thousand particulars shout your darling that servanti- would not; think of writing. And wilting is naturally a great effort to them." "Will yon?" cried Tom. "That will be Awfully good of you." "I shall write to you," proceeded Agnes, in a low voice. "I suppose June will not mind. We are cousins, you know,"
CHAPTER XIV. June had got ber owu way in coming to London, but it did not make her very happy. She felt a sense of secret irritation against Tom for not being happy too, and she was vexed because he had been so obstinate about the bnhy. Until now she had not believed him capable of offering perslstct.t opposition to any wish of hers. And tis scruples Were absurd! The house was large and airy; it looked on green trees; they were near both the parks. London was healthy, the child was thoroughly robust; If he were here Tom would never be able to tear himself away from the pair of them, nnd she would not have the irritation of seeing Agnes' dally bulletins, which frequently were not bi llctins, but epistles. If the nurse, if her aunt had Written, she would have been delighted; but she had that instinct of dislike and distrust toward her cousin which, after all, was a perfectlv true and correct one. Just ns, in their younger days, Agnes bnd always tried to appear additionally amiable by the hateful knack ef showing sister and cousin to disadvantage, so now June felt that nil this effusiveness over the baby was put on to make her seem wanting in n mother's devotion. Sir Thomas nud Lady Nevil had been in town five days; this evening they were dining at home alone. An unusually gushing letter had arrived that morning, which had given the most evident picaslire to Tom nnd had roused Jnne's ire. All day long it had iieen smoldering-, she bad hindc up ber mind to nssert herself that night. Sho would conquer. Ilei mind was master of Tom's, even though she could no longer quite turn hi in round her finger hy n frown or a tear as in olden Jays. She was not quite sure whnt wt.ulil be the best way to take him. but
she would certainly begin by coaxing, even
though it nnd failed once or twice before when tried on that particular subject. After dinner, when they went upstairs, she pushed him gently into a c-hnir, sat on his knee, laced her arms round his neck and laid her cheek against his. He received her i.tteiitions with the complacent calm of a two-year husband who loves his wife, the complacent cnlui that is so eminently provoking and unsatisfactory to wives of June's teniiieramcnt. "Tom," the says, censing to embrace him, and 'nying her head ngninst the back of bin chair, while au involuntary mist comes across her browu eyes, "Tom, I don't feel happy." Tom heaves n deep, deep sigh. "No, tuy dear," he replies. "I don't see how any one can be happy In this stilling hole." But this answer is by no means what June desires, or whnt she bns wished to lend up to. "It isn't that," she says, feeling much depressed, "I like London, and should enjoy niys?lf ninnzlngly if I didn't see that yon ne not happy." Tom hen res a still deeper sigh. "I must tienr it ns liest I can," he otters, in a doleful tone. "It makes me feel selRsh," says June, "to think I have dragged you here and that you are so wretched. ' Secretly she thinks he s a little bit selfish not to try to seem happier, "It takes away all my enjoyment." Thereupon Tom kisses her kindly. "Never mind, dear," he remarks. "1 must manage as best I can. And," brightening, "I shall run down and see the boy for a conple of dnys shortly ." "My darling!' cries Jure; "do, do let us hnve him up here! Do get over your ridiculous ideas nbout London hurting him, nnd then we should all be quite happy. There was a time," jealously, "when I could make you happy, but now it seems I am not enough." "Don't fay that, child!" exclaims Tom, givit g her slim wni.it n squeeze. "Why, you surely wouldn't bave nic not love our boy?" "Not more than me," says June, rebelliously. "No fear," ho answers, heartily. "But it's n different sort of feeling. Why,"
with mi accent of reproach which .lime reels keer.ly, "do you think that if you had him ,n your arms i.ll day, ami bnd hardly even a kiss or a look for nie, I should fed a bit jealous? Why, I d ould know it was the right anil natural thing." Tom is not the least aware that ie is planting n dagger in his wife's heart. She does love her child dearly, but he cr nnot lie nil in all to her. Sbo can spare his presence n great deal better than she can Tom's; he would lie an utterly inadequate consolation to he!- if anything happened to her husband. "As If," she pleads, "(here were not hundreds and tin iisands of healthy children in London, and here It is so airy and nice."
"Airy!" echoes Tom; "why, I feci fit to lie stifled myself: nml think how much more his tender lungs would suffer." "That is mere prejudice," answers June, a trifle shortly. "But, t i.v dear," says Tom, "only think how well tbe little chap is at home, and how rosy he looks. And there is Agues always looking after him." June vacates ber position on Tom's knee and walks to the window, on which she drums with hpr fingerii. An angry swelling rises In her throat: it is a full minute before she can speak. "I do not know what business it la of Agnes'." she observes, presently. "And. as . U. ; '- ' ' chi ! - ' - -
la nsnal to him, especially when addressing his wife. This was too much for June. She flings herself into a eliulr and gives vent to a passion of sobs aid tears. For n wonder, Tom does not fly at once to stanch het tears, hut sits lucking a shade milky and perturbed. This, naturally makes June worse. "I wish we had never come to London nt nil!" she sobs. Tom echoes tint wish most sincerely, tie, however, has the wisdom lit remain silent. Hut silence is always exasperating to .-. vexed woman. "Let us give up the house and go back lumie!"' sobs her Indyship, who is lu n considerable temper. "If I am only to bo made miserable I ere, I wish I hud uever come!" He does not Sjieafe, and Jnii?'s wrath increases. She pulls her handkerchief from her face, a id, looking at him with eyes flashing through her tears, she cries: "The child is m much mine m yours! much more mine.' What right have you to separate him from me ot to decide whnt he shall do or not do?" This Is the first time that Tom has ever seen June In n passion ; he is a good deal shocked niid a little frightened. lie rises frofn his chair and conies toward her. Bui s'ie stflrts tip to evade him and cries: "Do not come near me! do not touch me! You do not love me! Ob, my darling mother! if you were only a! ive now!" And June, having worked herself up into a paroxysm of anguish, Kings herself down and btirie her head In the sofa cushions and sobs as if her heart would break. (To lie continued.
SOCIAL CALLS IN TURKEY.
Different from Ours, and They Involve a Complicated Ceremonial. Social calls nuiong the Turks are elaborate functions. If the call, lie at a bouse of quality, tbe lady's outer garments will be ta ken by a servant lu the vestibule. A Turkish, lady ivi'l leave there the chnrchaff, or llotviug silk garment that covers ber whole body, and the yasmak, or veil, that covers her face. Also the boots of red or yellow leather, with (tinted, turncd-up toes, that she wears over her sof t slippers. As she enters ti e reception ro om nil the ladles present rise from tbe divan and one after another bid her welcome. And to each one she replies: "I find you well." The lady of the house escorts her to th placu on the divan liefitting her sociul rank, nnd all tbe others look on In silence. If the caller
sees a child she does not fall to express
her belief that he will be e fine boy, tvliereup the mother replies: "May your
children be a blessing to you." If the
caller sees someone In the worn whon she knows to have recently returned
from a Journey, she must uiuke some graceful allusion to the event, to which the other will reply: "May your friends return in like safety." All these are well-established phrases which may not be departed from. In a -ery formal call tbe lady will make three movements to leave before she really does leave. The :lrst comes about half an hour after ber arrival, and this Is simply a signal for the sweets to come in. These are presented in formidable array on a tray borne by some women of tbe family. On the tray will be tbree kinds of preserves in glass dishes, a spoon bolder tilled with spoons, a number of large glasses filled with water, and a number of small glosses filled with liquids of various colors red, amber, pink and yellow. At the first experience It Is dlllicult to know what to do with nil this, lint the ontlres go through it quickly enough. Each lady takes three spoonfuls of preserves from the three dishes, then puts her three spoons In au empty glass, then drinks from one -f the little glasses, which contains brandy or whisky, colored with some syrup, niid finally drinks wntct from one of the large glasses. Does a iy one fall to do all this, the hostess comes In person nnd Insists upon her eating nnd drinking, nnd with n circle ot indies to lie supplied this operation takes about ten minutes. Perhaps a (uarter of an hour later the caller starts again to withdraw, but the hostess protests vehemently, and while they ar-5 pleasantly arguing the point another tray Is broujrht In, with tiie large-glasses of sherbet which are passed around as before. It Is tbe proper thing to lrlnk only half tbe contents of a glass and then set It down, when the hostess is sure to insist that it lie finished. As each lady drinks she says: "Peace to the household," nnd the other replies: "May it be to your health." After the glasses have thus made the complete circle, the general conversation begins again, nnd whenever there Is n pause (as ol ten happens) some one Is sure to say for tbe tenth time: "Xasel sinners," which menus "How are you?" And the person Invariably replies: "I am feeling better since 1 hnve seen you." Finally, at the third attempt to go away, tbe coffee appears, and after this the caller may really go with propriety. If she so desires. But she never goes without saylug: "With your permission."
Couldn't Deceive ttio Mother. He was a tlred-looklng young man as he leaned up against a simile tree, nnd the patrolman who came along und baited to look: him over dually queried: "Well, what are you doing here?" "More or lss Might," was the answer. "Whnt's that paper you have got in your hand?" "You can have It." "Bank check, eh?" said the officer, as be scanned it under the light. "Have you been trying to work - confidence game?" "Oh. no." replied the young man ns he yawned sleepily. "Than was a littleracket on my own account:." "How do yon mean?" "Why. I'm going with a girl who loves me for myself, but her mother looks iit the ensh side of the question." "And you tilled out this check to deceive ber?" "That's w'liat I did. I showed her that I bad $Ti,000 lu the bunk, but what did she do but post right down there and find out Hint I didn't have a cent on deposit." "And wbn-:?" "Why, that's how I onine to get tight.

How Much Water to Ilrlnk. When It is considered that the body Is made up very largely of water it can readily be understood hr.tr important to health Is a constant supply of this fluid. Many people have a notion that the drinking of water lu any amount beyond that actually necessary to quench thirst Is Injurious, and, acting on this belief, they endeavor to drink as little as possible. The notion, however, is wide of the truth. Drinking freely of pure water is a most efficacious means not only of preserving health, but often of restoring it when falling. All the tissues of the body need water, and water In abundance Is necssary also for the proper performance of every vital function. Cleanliness of thu tisues within the body is as necessary to hearth and comfort ns lieanllness of the skin, and water tends to Insure the one as truly as it does the other. It (lis. solves the wnste material, which would otherwise collect in the body, and remove tt In the various exerRsi0ns. Those waste material nre often actual poisons, nud many a headache, many rheumatic pains and aches, many sleepless nights nnd listless days nnd many attacks of the "blues" are due solely to the circulation In the blood or deposit In the (Issues of these' waste matters, which cannot be got rid of because of an Insufficient supply of water. Water is accused of making fat, and people with a tendency to corpulence avoid it for that rea son. But: this is not strictly true. It does undoubtedly often Increase the weight, but it does so because It Improves the ingestion, and therefore more of the food paten is utilized and turned into fat nnd flesh. But excessive fat, whnt we call corpulence. Is not a sign of health, but of faulty digestion and assimilation, and systematic water drinking Is oftea employed as a means of reducing the superfluous fat which It sometimes does with astonishing rapidity.
