SAILING BACKWARD.
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.

THE JjERMITAGE. 1
Mansion In Which Aaron Burr Courted
, Eetelle Provoet. . r J
There still stands in the Paramns
valley, twenty miles from New York,
in Bergen county, N. 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. One offers this cheerful in
vitation: Dear Brother and Slstor,

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

THIS YOUNG MAN MAY BE NEXT EMPEROR OF GERMANY
FREDERICK WILLIAM, crown prince of Germany, has a reason-
able expectation of succeeding his father upon the throne. 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
