The Bluejackets Are Proud of Thaie Clast Symbol, and Only the Novices Are Without Them Marines Have Their Own Special Insignia. Undo Sam seems to be n wise old boy. llo ban found tbo secret of uvcrt. In;; lubor dllUcultlcs und raising tbo -dignity of labor uboard ship by giving the marines and Milium wlio aio as tdgncd to special duties urm Insignia to distinguish tlielr callings and ranks. .Mechanics, clerics, carpenters und decli men arc given just ns much at tention when It comes to Insignia us nro tbo admirals, captains, lieutenants, -ensigns nnd other commissioned men. And If tho truth were only known the Jucklcs take even more pride In dis playing tho marks that huvo been con ferred upon them. Undo Sam bus a peculiar method of murklng bis men, but ho has never taken Into consideration that the pub lie would like to bo taken Into the se cret. The consequence Is Unit tho men who have becu honored with the dis tinguishing marks and It is only the novices or newcomers who have not n , mark of some kind must suffer iind bo prepared ulwuys wullo on shore have to answer the questions of tho curious. The Insignia, however, nro simple enough when understood. A symbol of Mome sort Is used to distinguish tbo man's following. For Instance, a chief .eomau has two crossed keys on his coat sleeves, signifying that ho has the keys to tho stores and Is a clerk on Imaid tho ship. An eaglo appears over every murk and there are qualifying stripes under the symbol to show whether the man Is first class, second elans or third class. If llo Is of the hit- er rank he has only ouo stripe. If lie Is a chief petty olllcer ho wears con necting lines between tho curved lino under tho eaglo and tho stripes. Oth erwise be simply wears tho eaglo uud the stripes. This Is true with nil men. In sumo Instances, however, tbo utrlpe" under the symbol typify the man's distinctive olllce. For Instance, it machinist of the .first class wears three stripes. A water tender has tbo hiitue mark under n propeller. A man with two stripes Is cither unrulier or u machinist's mate. A man with two crossed quills Is n pay clerk. A turret with 11 gun signi fies that I ho wearer Is a turret cap tain. A globe means the man Is nn electrician. A carpenter hits two hatch-i-tK. A crescent Irf worn by a commis si ry or u commissary's stewnrd. A -quartermaster In the uovy wears n wheel, while tho man with the same - distinction lif tho marlno corps has rosicd quills for bli Insignia. Many of the naval men also wear n " Ingle stripe across the shoulder. These who wear red belong to tho engineers' -corps. If n man with n red strlK has one white strlc on his cuff ho Is it coal passer: If two. ho Is a second class tlreman und If three, n third class tire man. Tho deck force wear n white stripe Across tho shoulder. If n mini has two tttrlpcs on his cuff he Is uu ordinary pcaman: If three, u hcntnau. and u sin Itlo stripe means ho U uu apprentice or it landsman. All t,he petty officers wear blue rat ing on the white clothes and led on tho liluc. A man who has won three sue esslve ifltlng medals for good conduct Is icrmltted to wear gold. Those who mre In llio special or the engineers' ilinincli wear their rating on the left inriii. and the seamen wear theirs on itho right. Enlistment stripe- are also worn, one for each four years. Chief J 'petty officers, besides having the con meeting lines over their Insignia, also wear brass buttons on their coats. Tho marine Insignia nre slightly dif ferent. In the llrst place tho mark ings are In gold and therefore much 'brighter and are moro noticeable. This Is true only with the dress uniform. "With the khaki clothes tho men wear Held chevrons with narrow marks. A marine corporal has two stilpes mid a t.ergeiint three stripes. A tlrst sergeant lias a diamond tinder Ills stripes, uud a M-rgeaut major has additional stripes tiuder the diamond. A gunnery scr Keuiit has u leaf and nn acorn under Ills str!K!s; n quartermaster sergeant line quills; a drummer has cross sticks nnd it trumpeter crossed bugles. Offl rrs In the marine corps have their In flgnU on both arms. Philadelphia North American. SERPENTS AS HYPNOTISTS. The Charm They Uso on Animals Thoy Succumb to Themselves. Cases of fascination by' serpents of birds and other small animals havo been too frequently reported to admit of serious doubt on the subject. Evi dently It Is simply n kind of hypnotism and based, like human hypnotism,, on the effects of rhythmical Impressions made upon tbo nervous system. Experiment has proved that tho mo notonous swinging of u glittering ob ject before the eyes will throw many men and women Into hypnotic sleep. When it serpent charms or fascinates a bird or small quadruped It employs n similar method. It sways, Its head with glittering eyes or sets Its brilliantly colored colls Into silent rhythmic move ment within sight of Its victim, nnd the latter gradually yields to tho in tlueuce. Hut the most dangerous serpents arc themselves subject to this very hyp notic control, a (act which Is tho basis of the proceedings of tho serpent charmers of India and those of oth er Countries where veuoiuous snakes abound. Music, or tho monotonous repetition of musical notes, appears to bo tbo most effective agent In serpent charm ing. It may be remarked that accord ing to some observers tho sounds pro duced by a rattlesnake, nnd even the loud hissing of some serpents, have n hypnotic IiiUucuce, or nt least a sort of paralyzing force, due probably to ter ror. The cobras of southorn Asia and the closely related najas of Africa will como out of holes, erect their bends and a part of their bodies and sway about In it kind of serpent dunce when they hear the notes of a pipe played by u skilled performer. ' However, no cobra charmer ever has sufficient cotilldenco In his control over his dangerous subjects to neglect the removal of their fangs. A cobra bite has becu known to kill a man within a few minutes of Its In fliction. Garrett I'. Scrvlss In IJctroit News. . MEAT IS A STIMULANT. Heneo, Eaten In Excess, It Is Bad For Doth Dody and Mind. Tho director of one of tho largest physical culture schools In tho United States said not lung ago to u friend of mine: "Every time I eat a piece of good beefsteak I feel as stimulated us If I had drunk a cocktail." This curious statement embodies n truth of which most icoplo uro un aware. Meat Is not merely n food. It also Is a stimulant, with dctlnlte exhilarating effects on both mind and body. Eaten In excess, moreover. It nets nine'' its docs nn excessive amount of tho alcoholic beverage mentioned by tho physical culture director. That Is to say, It tends. In the first place, to causo nervous Irritability, mak ing It more difficult for a man to con trol his passions und Bometlmcs mak ing him positively savage. And. in tho second place, when eaten In excess it makes him mentally Inert nnd stupid. The reason for this second effect Is well known to all scientific students of food values. Cooked meat, the form In which meat usually Is eaten. Is nut easy to digest. If too much of It I? eaten Imperfect digestion results, und tho blood stream Is poisoned by tho decomposing animal food In tho alimentary ennui, Not total abstinence, but tempcrnnco enough meat to spur tho mind, not enough to deaden It that Is tho lesson to be drawn from the demonstrated stimulant effect of nnlmiil food. II. Addlugton Ilruco In Kansas City Times. Argus Eyed and Hydra Headed. The term "Argus eyed" means watch ful. According to the Grecian fable. Argus had 100 eyes, and Juno set him to watch all of whom slio was jealous When Argus was slain she transplant ed bis eyes Into the tall of tho peacock. "Hydra beaded'' Is a term derived from the fable of Hercules mid the hydra. Tho hydra had nine heads, and Hercules was scut to kill It. As soon as he struck off ouo of Its heads two shut up lu Its place. That's All. The borrower, nt tho phone: "Is this you. Sillier? Yes. pretty well. Say. Miller.

The common peanut, beloved of tho smull boy, grows lu u way that Is dis tinctly original. The little plant scuds up Its shoots, with tho fruit on the end of a somewhat stiff stalk, and then be fore It ripens tho stem bends over nnd carefully pushes tho fruit underground Aw pigs uro said to be especially fond of these. It has been suggested that the plant does this to hide Its nuts from the porker's too Inquisitive Investigations. The Frilled Lizard. The frilled lizard of Queensland trov els on Its bind legs on level ground, keeping the frill folded when running. When attnckcl It expands this fold of skin, which stands nut like a ruff at right angles round the neck, giving It a most formidable asect. so that dogs that attack and kill larger lizards will often retreat before a frilled lizard at bay.
