BABY MIDSHIPMEN.
In th« Old Day* When Children Were
Sant to War.
Among other Improvements in the
art of war as attained by the world In
these Liter days la the abolition of the
practice of sending children to sea, as
was the case when the midshipmen of
the old "oak walls” of England often
were boys of less than fourteen years.
The Marquis of Dufferin aud Ava In
telliug about the siege of Bomarsuud,
in the Crimean war, which he witness
rd from the frigate Penelope, related
this story of one of these little fellows.
“Wbat pleased me most during Ibe
whole business," be sajs, “was the
gallant behavior of a little midship­
man, a mere child, thirteen or fourteen
years of age. About the time when the
fire became pretty hot 1 happened to
come across him, and, as he seemed to
be as much out of a Job as myself. 1
touched my cap and took the liberty of
observing that It was a fine day. to
which be politely replied that it was.
"Encouraged by tils urbanity, I ven­
tured to ask him bow loug be bad been
at sea. Io which lie answered. T have
only left my mamma six weeks, but 1
ain't going to cry on her majesty’s
quarterdeck.' a remark which I think
us worth recording as many a one made
by more Illustrious heroes. Soon after
this, however, a man was killed close
to him. and the little fellow fainted
aud was taken below."
OUR USELESS BUFFALOES.
Thsy Have Passed Away Because They
Were Economically Unfit.
As a typical species of American
fauna the buffalo had his place In our
history, but take him by aud large he
was a rather useless beast, with no
adaptability for civilization. He served
his purpose on the plains when men

But us soon as the range
land, over which tlie buffalo “roamed
lu couutless thousands," became fit for
settlement the buffalo was decidedly
de trop.
Very little of him was flt to eat He
was worth a bullet when there was no
other meat to be had, but a people ac­
customed to modern steaks aud roasts
would find him not overappetlzlng

vulue. But entirely too many tears

A QUEER LAKE.
With Neither Inlet Nor Outlet It Has a
Mysterious Tide.
There is a curious Swiss lake. Take
Marjelan, which at regular Intervals
completely disappears uud does not be­
gin to refill until the following winter
or spring. Ou them: occasions it emp­
ties Itself so rapidly that the It hone
rises several meters In a few hours
and overflows Its batiks
But it Is not necessary to go to
Switzerland lu order to tind a freak-
Ish lake. There is a pond In the center
of Long Island, at the present end of
the Motor parkway, called l.aka lion
koukoma It baa neither inlet nor out­
let aud Ilea nt the foot of the bills that
form the backbone of 1-oug Island
Round its »Imres are many pretty sum­
mer homes. The trees about It are
much larger and more beautiful than
elsewhere on Long Island The waters
of the lake are very clear and cold In
some places It seems bottomless.
The strange thing about Lake Ron­
konkoma Is that It has a tide; not a
tide like the ocean that rises anil falls
every twelve hours, but one that takes
seven years to rise and seveu more to
fall. The difference between high wa­
ter aud low water mark Is between
thirty and forty feet. Many srieiititic
men have studied the curious phe­
nomenon, but do one has fuund out
what causes this mysterious Ude. Nei­
ther long continued rnlus nor severe
droughts affect the quantity of water
in the lake
The Indians used to bold the lake In
great awe, and few dared to cross it
In a canoe. There Is a legend of one
brave who, while Ashing. was drown­
ed In the lake
His body was found
six mouths afterward nearly ten miles
away In Long Island sound—Youth's

“Before the establishment of right­

Justice could be obtained." explained
the teacher, “persons suspected of cer­
tain crimes were tried by what was
known as the ’ordeal.’ One of these
was the ‘ordeal of fire.’ Hot plow­
shares were laid at short intervals
along the victim's path, and the sus­
pected person was blindfolded aud
compelled to walk over them

on the hot Irons he was deemed inno­

adjudged guilty. Who would submit
to such an ordeal now? Joiiuuy. would

HIS BACKING WAS GOOD.
And President Tyler Found a Place
For Old Jack Dade.
President Tyler had a curious ottiie
seeking experience nt the very begin
nlng of his administration. Old Jack
Dade, a character about Washington,
who had been the president's class­
mate at coilege, went to the White
House, and said he, "Jack, I want an
office.”
"You do?" said President Tyler.
"What office on earth do you think you
are fit for?"
“Why, one o’ these ‘slnecurees’ I hear
so much about—no work and good
pay,” Dade promptly replied
"Well, Jack.” said Tyler deprecating-
ly, “you know that 1 am president
now and must hnve some kind of war­
rant for making an appointment. Can
you get anybody to indorse you? Could
you bring me a letter of recommenda­
tion?”
“Oh. yes," said Dade. “I’m fixed for
that,” and he produced n letter of four
pages written by Tyler himself to '
President Harrison, whom he had just |
succeeded, urging the claims of bls |
dear friend and classmate. Colonel
John W. Dade, for a good, fat office j
“Cast your eye over that!" he exclaim i

Tyler read the letter attentively to
the end. folded It carefully and said: ’
"Jack, your backing Is Irresistible j
Come up here tomorrow, and I’ll have
a place for you."
The next day Colonel John W. Dade
was appointed keeper of the Federal
