Admiral Dewey has known tho wom an who recently became his wife since she was a chubby, rosy-cheeked girl, with two long brown braids of hair hanging down her back. Mildred Mc Lean was beautiful and Joyous. Life to her was roseate. She had never known a care. She was simply a merry, light-hearted girl, with Infinite possi bilities. About this tlmo she met Will iam Habcock Hazen, nfterward briga dier general, who was known as a sol dier and an author. He fell at once in love with the charming girl. She loved him In return. They were married soon after and went to his post to live. Life In an army post Is somewhat narrow. The years passed quietly for Mildred Hazen. Her marriage was very happy. A daughter was born to her and died. Then there wns a son, and Mrs. Hazen lived In those early years for her husband and child. Her life tlowed s'lioothly on until twelve years ago, when her husband died. She was loft a widow, still young, beautiful and rich. She went to live with her mother, Mrs. Washington Mc Lean. Again Mrs. Hazen met Dewey. She was older and sorrow-chastened now, but to him she was a thousand times lovelier than the light-hearted girl be had formerly known. Mrs. Hazen made n distinct place for herself In the gay life at the capital. Sho soon became known as the most brilliant In Washington society. Her extraordinary conversational powers, her aptness at repartee and her ready wit caused her to bo sought by tho most prominent men In political life. Through it all sho retalued tho gentle, unassuming manner that has made her so especially lovable. Admiral Dewey was a frequent vlsltor-but so wero ninny other distinguished people, so no one thought very much about tho fre quency of his calls or speculated as to their meaning. Ho wns not tho hero then. Ho wns a plain, quiet, unassum ing commodore.

A HUMAN HIVE. A Ptncc Where Most of Our Jewelrj In Mnclc. Providence, It. I., has the largest sil verware factory In the world, the larg est screw factory, the largest manu factory for small tools and the largest file works. Perhaps It Is especially unique In producing more Jewelry than nny other city In the United States, says tho Nashville American, nnd uear ly ns much as all the rest of the coun try combined. There Is no city which possesses so many separate and dis tinct shops for the manufacture of a single commodity as Providence does for the manufacture of Jewelry. There are at least 250 separate factories de voted to the making of gold, silver, rolled-plated, electroplated and brass Jewelry and novelties. In addition, the auxiliary Industries for furnishing sup pV.es of special labor to the Jewelry fac tories number more than seventy-five.

Old Glory. One may pay anything from a cent to one hundred and fifty dollars, for a Hag of the United States. The cheap est Hags are stamped on muslin with tho colors red nnd blue, nud are then tacked or pasted upon sticks; they aro not guaranteed to wash. Of this kind Is tho little penny Hag which the small boy wears on tho lapel of his coat. Such flags aro put through nprlutiug press Hko calico skirts, and comeSnit all colored at tho rate of ono hundred n minute. Anybody Is nt liberty to make United States flags. Thus It comes about that all sorts of patterns of the national ensign are on tho market, nnd lu use. But If nny one desires to havo the colors as they ought to bo, refer ence must bo made to tho standard adopted by the army and navy. This standard, altered from time to time by the addition of fresh stars, Is preserved, nnd will coutlnuo to bo kept by tho secretaries of war and navy. The prop er design for the blue field of Old Glory is fixed and absolute; other arrange ments of tho stars, which commonly aro distributed more or less higgledy piggledy, aro wrong.

Subject to Tuberctiloa, Ilcurt Trouble und 11 nil n Contention. "Telegraph operators are kept In a constant state of cerebial tension," aays Mr. Hull, President of the Hallway and Telegraph Workers' Union. "They me exposed to a great number of mala dies, and It can well bo said that their work Is dangerous. A telegraph oper- fltflf T-fHIlIu l.tt.r. ...Ill, t. l. 1 mental process. And whereas the nor mal amount of varied seusatory im pulses per minute Is 120, the telegraph operator has to accomplish 100 to 450. "Without taking extreme cases into consideration, It may be said that tho sense of hearing in a telegraph oper ator Is two and a half times more pow erful than In an ordinary Individual. Again, In telegraphy the continuity of the nervous stimulation, the monotony of sounds and the flxlty of attention are further causes of exhaustion. It Is found also that during forced work the telegraph operator's breathing Is affected, his heart's action precipitated and his brain congested. As a result of these phenomena It Is noticeable that a general decline of the organism follows, ending In tuberculosis." According to Mr. Hull, the ordinary death rate for tuberculosis Is 13.8; that of telegraph operators Is 40.0. And what Is true of tuberculosis applies to other affections of the respiratory or gans. The general death rate for the latter Is 3.5, but It rises to 18.4 among telegraph operators between 15 and 25 years of age, to 23.1 between 25 and 35 years of age. Instead of 4.9, and to 12, Instead of 5.3. between the nges of 35 and 45. From 45 years upward It de clines, being 4.3. Instead of 5 3. but this diminution Is very delusive, seeing that it is due to the elimination of tho weak members who have died off In the preceding years. It becomes more marked with Increasing age. Between 55 and 00 It stands at 0.5, Instead of 5.4, and above 05 at 0.4. Instead of 8.2. But these are not the only affections to which telegraph operators are liable. The nervous tension which they endure often gives rise to a state requiring Immediate withdrawal from their work.
