Fsats of Smnhip Performed With Square Riggers.' Square rigged ships can, la case of necessity, be made to saif rudder fore most, and there are many cases known where ships have sailed In that re versed order.. Only a few years ago a case was recorded of such backward Balling. , s One Instance where tne maneuver was employed by a genius In battle tactics rather than under the need of marine disaster is a brililnnt chapter In the history of Old Ironsides. This account Is taken from Maclay's naval history: " ; The sternmost ship was observed luffing up so as to take a raking posi tion across the Constitution's stern. Mindful ef his danger. Captain St4w art suddenly braced bis main and mlz ten topsails flat to the mast, shook all forward, let go his jib sheet and quiet ly but swiftly backed, under cover of the smoke, abreast the rear ship. The maneuver was executed In beautiful tftyie. rue yaras swung arouna aimosi Boon as the order was Issued; the ship checked her course, trembled for a moment and then began backing. As If by magic the Constitution had I dropped astern and almost before the enemy was aware or it was alongside of the sternmost ship with every gun of her formidable battery reloaded and double shotted." The clipper "bip Dreadnought . lost ber rudder In a gale In the winter of 1802-3, and Captain Samuel f-anjuels performed the great feat of sailing her backward for more than COO miles and into safety in the harbor "of FayaJ.

J., well preserved and kept; the mansion in which Ajiron Burr courted the beautiful Estelle rr.ovbst widow, of an ofht.er In the British army, herself an ardent royal ist during the Revolution. In the days of this, courtship Burr's command in the American army; was stationed at White Plains. N. Y., and he was accustomed to ride from there to Paramus on horseback to the woo ing of his ladylove, making the Jour ney to and fro between sunset and dawn. The mansion, known as "The Hermitage." is of rough stone ; with gothic peaks. A picturesque tnrnstlle admits visitors to the extensive grounds. ' Not far away is the old church, like wise as it was in those perilous and romantic days. Where Burr and the fair widow, his persistent and arden wooing having won her, were .mar ried. Adjoining and belonging to this church is an ancient burying ground, many of whose moss grown grave stones have quilnt and grotesque in scriptions.

The sheriff of a certain county in England, being of 'a Jocular turn of mind, quietly picked a Jury of the twelve fattest men eliglhle for the pur posemen so fat that when tbey ap peared in 'court and the time came for them to take up their position in the Jury box It was found that but nine of them could be accommodated. However, by rearrangement and squeezing and amid the ' boisterous laughter of the court they finally suc ceeded in crowding Into their allotted quarters a packed Jury In the most literal sense. Following this fat jury, the same merry sheriff had collected ft lean jury, thin enough to have been accommodated in the Jury box twice over. At another time be gathered a Jury of barbers and, as a crowning feat a Jury of twelve men who squint edGreen Bag. ' ; Improving en Crcy.

He is now about the age of William II., twenty-nine, when the latter became emperor. Should his father, survive him another Prince Frederick William, son of the crown prince, would become the heir. The little prince now is nearly five years old and is a prime favorite of his famous grandfather. The crown prince has two other sons, so it may be said that the throne of Germany is falily well provided with prospective or possible rulers. Crown Prince Frederick William married the pretty Princess Cecelia after having expressed in fiery youth bis desire .to wed Miss Gladys Deacon, an American girl. Of. course the kaiser. very promptly cut short that budding romance. The crown prince is said to be modest and Intelligent. Just what a force he may become as emperor . is still In the conjectural tage. , v NEW BANK OPENED IS I posits are left in . the . Institution a OXE DEI'OSITOR BEUPTEUEl) AT 00X.
