Admiral Jouett, probably one of the jolliest seadogs our navy ever knew, I once told this amusing story of bls j early days as a cadet: “I was a sociable youngster.” he I says, "and when I went to my first asI slgnment, the Independence, and saw the stars and stripes floating over it 1 remembered my mother had taught me that my first duty was to the flag, so I attempted some conversation on ■ this line with the executive officer who had received me when 1 came on board i and who was one of the strictest disciplinarians in the navy of that day. " ‘Silence, sir'.’ be roared at my first question, his face red with anger. ‘Silence. sir! Who gave you permission to apeak? Let me hear only six words from you. sir. while you are on this ship—"port.” “starboard.” “yes, sir,” and “no, sir.'” “And this was my first discipline In the navy.” Crowns by Wholesale. It is told of one of the ancient kings of Egypt that his coronation procession occupied a whole day in passing through the city of Alexandria and that 3,200 crowns of gold were carried by the servants. One crown was three feet In height and twenty-four feet in circumference. There were also carried in the procession sixty-tour suits of golden armor, two boots of gold four nnd a half feet in length, twelve golden basins, ten large vases of perfumes for the baths, twelve ewers, fifty dishes and a large number of tables—all of gold. Twenty-three of I the 3,200 crowns were valued at £334,400. and it is not surprising that the procession was guarded by 90,000 sc! diets.—at. James Gazette. A Joker Among nirds. The bluejay is a practical joker. It I is bis habit to conceal himself in a mass of leaves near the spot where small birds are accustomed to gather and when they arc enjoying tnemI selves in their own fashion to suddenly frighten them almost to death Iby screaming out like a hawk, of ; course they scatter in every direction, and when they do so the mischievous rascal gives vent to a cackle that sounds very much like a laugh.
