Sir John Had Little Paint and a Fine Senee of Humor. It is not often tbe administration of England's naval affairs is attend‘d with any humorous features, but on one occasion at least an officer of the royal navy contributed quaintly to tbe archives of the admiralty. Once, before the days of steel ships, the allowance of paint In tbe royal I navy wna very small, and sometimes the officers bad to pay large sums in order that their ships might maintain a decent appearance. 8ir John Phllll more resorted to a funny expedient either to soften the heart of the navy board or. If that proved impossible, I to* express his opinion He painted one side of bls yellow frigate black and I white and used tbe rest of tbe black paint In printing on tbe other side In I large letters, “No more palntl" I The navy board wrote to call his attention to tbe impropriety of Ills conduct and signed themselves, as they did officially, “Your affectionate friends.” Sir John made reply that be could not obliterate the objection able letters unleu be were given more paint and signed himself, in turn. “Your affectionate friend. John Phllll more." The naval aui itlMLitles then called his attention to tbe of * tbe he impropriety it ' signature, to which Sir John respond ed, acknowledging the letter, statlug he regretted that tbe paint bad not been sent and ending. “I am no longer your affectionate friend. John Phllll more.” His frigate was permitted to retain her original yellow, and thus the navy board punished Sir John'« tin pertinence It ii a pleasure to meet satisfied customers, each one thinking their colts are best.

SAVING TIME by TELEPHONE ¿HEN a man feels the necessity of being in two places at the same time he goes to the nearest telephone and sends his voice.

Comtortablc Beds and Accommodation How They Are Aided by the Talaaeopa Sight and Crossbar. Perhaps very tew outside oi the service know of the Important part that tba telescope and the crossbar sight have played In the development of target work. Before the recent In troduction of the telescope and the crossbar the gun pointer strained bls eyes in the Impossible effort to adjust their focus to three widely separated objects simultaneously, the rear sight a few Inches away, the front sight a dozen feet distant from the rear one and the target anywhere from 1.500 to 13,000 yards. Ordnance experts worked over this problem, and the re sult was the introduction of the tel escopic sight and the crossbars—two pieces of crossed wire at the end of the telescope. When these “cut” on the target the gun pointer presses his electric button and the gun does the rest It la eminently spectacular, this great gun battery practice. This is from a description given to the writer by an umpire whose station was on one of the ships towing the target: “Through the glasses you could see a needle-like flash from the tiring ship, a vessel so far distant that her outline was but an Indistinct blur upon the horizon. Having caught the flash, the glass Is dropped, the eye goes to the stop watch, and you begin to count- ore. two, three, four. five. six. seven, eight, nine. ten. eleven—and about then you will hear a faint drone which in the next* fraction of a second swells Into a mighty roar—the roar of an ex press rushing at the rate of thirty miles a second. With the roar come a flying of splinters from the target, a geyser leaping a hundred feet In air. then another and another, as the rico cheting shell glances from wave to wave, and then, last of all. the faint, faroff boom of the gun which bad burl ed the missile.”—Harper s Weekly.

LEGLESS AND ARMLESS. Yet Kavanaugh Was a Daring Rider and a Famous Sportsman. Far and away tbe most interesting member and In many ways tbe most remarkable mun who has ever sat in tbe bouse of commons was tbe Right 1 Hon Arthur Kavanaugh, who sat for : Carlow from 1869 to 1880 under condi tions which would have been Impos sible for almost any other man. Kavanaugh was born without arms or legs—be was. In fact, a mere trunk of a man. And yet he performed a feat from which most men with their full complement of members might well have shrunk. Strapped on to his saddle, be was one of tbe most skillful and daring riders to hounds in all Ireland. On one occasion, it is said, “the saddle turned under him, and the horse trot ted back to tbe stable yard with bls i master hanging under him, his hair ! sweeping the ground. bleeding pro- fusely. He merely cursed the groom with emphatic volubility, had himself I more safely readjusted and rode out once more.” So remarkable was the sight of this pink clad trunk perched on his big horse that a child who once saw him dashing out of a wood ran shrieking to her mother, exclaiming: “Oh. mum my, I’ve seen Satan himself! I’ve seen him sure enough!” Kavanaugh was also an enthusiastic yachtsman and was the first to assert the right of M. P ’s to moor their craft opposite the houses of parliament. He went on a shooting expedition to Al bania and published a charming book on bis experiences. Illustrated with ad mirable photographs tnken by himself, while among his favorite pastimes were angling and tree felling. His most famous exploit, however, was bis ride from Norway to India. Accompanied by two friends, be rode across Russia to the Caspian sea. thence to Astrakhan and Astrabad and through Persia, laughing at the perils and fatigues of a journey which might well have daunted even the fa mous Colonel Burnaby. Kavanaugh, who was the father of four handsome sons and daughters, all perfectly formed, was carried Into the house of commons on tbe back of an attendant, and was certainly one of the keenest and ablest of legislator« of C A his time.—London Tit-Bits.

Do you ever wonder how long you are going to live? Ask an actuary, the man who figures it all out for tbe life Insurance companies and who can tell with almost supernatural precision. He'll tel! you that If you are 20, and In good health, chances are 12 to 1 that you'll live beyond 30. For longer life he’ll offer these odds: To be 40, 5% to 1; to be 50, 3 to 1; to be 60, 1 2-3 to 1 But he'll say that you have less than 1 chance in 2V4 to be 70. less than 1 in 5H to be 80 and only 1 chance In 100 to be 90. Suppose you are 30. Your chances run this way: To be 40, 11 to 1: to be 50, 4^ to 1; to be 60, 2% to 1; to be 70, 414 chances in 10; to be 80, 1 In 514; to be 90. 1 In 100. Or 40 years old. Actuaries' odds are: To be 50. 8 1-3 to 1; to be 60, 2% to 1; to be 70, 5 chances out of 10; to be 80. 1 In 5% plus; to be 90, 1 in 100. Fifty-year-olds’ prospects are fig ured: To be 00, 4% to 1; to be 70. about 114 to 1; to be 80. only 1 In 5; to be 90. 1 In 100. Say you are 60. It runs this way at that age: To be 70. 2 to 1; to be 80, 1 ebnnee in 4; to be 90, 1 In 96. If you are 70 your cbances of turn Ing tbe 80 year milepost are 3 to 8; to be 90. I In 50. Klghty-yenr-old men and women have only 1 chance In 17 to stave off the funeral until after 90. If you nre 90 there's r.v hope for you. ‘¿be aetearicn u«,e no figures.— Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
