Sea Knots and Miles.
There is a decided difference be-
tween the knot and the mile. Three
and one-half miles equal, within a
small fraction, three knots. The
result of this difference, of course,
is that the speed of a vessel in miles
per hour is always considerably
larger than when stated in knots,
and the confusion of the terms some-
times gives rise to rather remark-
able claims of speed performance.

Tb Need for Sweets Dear-
Versos Cane
An Physician's Ar-
Answered.
The fondness of children for sweets
is supposed by many to indicate a
physiological need for them which
should be supplied. That a
amount of sugar is required
is evident from the fact that the
starch of food is transformed into
sugar in the process of
and because many of the
most valued edible fruits contain a
proportion of the same sub-
Stance. But it should not forgot-
ten that the starches constitute a
large excess of the food of most man-
kind and that there is, therefore,
danger of an over-supply of glucose
from this source alone. Further, tho
sweet of fruits is grape sugar
while that used in confection-
and for domestic purposes is
cane sugar, which is as far removed
from glucose as starch is, and must
pass through a transforming
similar to that which starch
in order to become glucose.
As to the childhood appetite for
cane sugar, it is undoubtedly mainly
because of its general use. Sir An-
of wide Arctic
says that the northernmost
races have no knowledge of sweets,
and their make wry faces
and spit out sugar with disgust,
grin with ecstasy at the sight
of a little blubber. The refinements
modern cookery consist very
largely in the multiplied and com-
use of sugars and starches, and
much of the dyspepsia that afflicts
humanity has its origin in
consumption thus fostered.
If fruits were made a due part
family subsistence, instead of an
luxury, there would be less
of this complaint. There is enough
glucose in raisins, figs and dates to
supply all physiological needs, to
the entire exclusion of
from all table drinks and desserts,
as well as the complete banishment
of confectionery. Child-life and
mother-life would be the sweeter
the absence of these sweets.
An in a widely-circulated
journal, written by an eminent
physician, strongly recommends
cane sugar on the ground that it is
a concentrate;, heat-giving food,
capable of sustaining under ex-
exertions. The same may-
be said of alcohol, but docs not
prove alcohol a good, everyday
article of subsistence. The

THE WEEKLY OBSERVER.
Not less dainty than jewel cases
are the boudoirs of the young women
who will come out this winter as
New York's heiress
Many of these boudoirs, or
as they are familiarly j
called, have been newly fitted up for
this coining out season; and are as
elaborate as money can obtain, while
keeping the exquisite daintiness of
a French boudoir.
The much discussed and very
pretentious little girl. Miss Gertrude
Vanderbilt, has u white boudoir as
one of a set of three rooms in the
Fifth avenue palace facing Central
park. There is a sleeping-room, a
dressing-room and a parlor or
just as she chooses to call it.
This last is a large, almost square
room, fitted up entirely in white
without so much as a dash of gold;
nor are even the brass, bu-t
of white metal.
Between the two at front win-
and on either side;
with growing plants, is a large oval
mirror of French so fine that
once a new chambermaid walked
into it thinking it another room.
All around the oval mirror are wild
flowers in a garland, whose ends are
held by flying boys.
Over the mantel, which is
enameled wood, there is a similar
mirror, similarly and a
with the same floral design
adorns the white wall. It is not a
bare room. There are too many
fresh flowers, too ma girlish me-
for this. But its simplicity
is so pronounced t hat- many another
and less favored would plead
for something little
The furniture is blue and white and
the carpet, woven like a rug, is the
same.

cousin. Miss Cons Vanderbilt,

I was resting near one cf the la
goons in South Florida, one
about noon, after a morning
in hunting. It was a clear,
day, and, after finishing a
luncheon, I had my attention at-
by a slight movement in th
underbrush about ten feet back
me. I started a little upon
an enormous rattle
snake stretched out in sun. It
had evidently been sleep and was
just waking up from its slumbers.
For this reason it had no;
its presence before by rattling.
wanted a good skin of a fine
men, and picked up my gun to kill
it; but, before I could shoot, the
of another snake, a large
blacksnake this time, made me
The rattler suddenly raised
its head and immediately began to
coil and rattle. The blacksnake
stopped in its journey and looked
savagely at the rattler, as if
its strength. The two reptiles
were angry and their bead-like eyes
seemed to emit sparks of fire.
For nearly a minute the two re-
in this attitude, rattler
coiled ready to strike, and the black-
snake with head quivering with sup-
pressed emotion as It moved from
to side. Then the challenge
seemed to be accepted, and the
blacksnake suddenly darted in a
curve toward the rattler, but the
curve did not bring the long trailing
body within reach of the deadly
fangs. With rapid motions, the
blacksnake began to move around
the coiled rattler in various-sized
circles now narrowing and now
broadening them. The rattler
twisted Its body slightly to keep its
eyes upon the enemy, striking now
and then as the curves brought the
black reptile close to it. But the
blacksnake was too quick in its
movements. Round and round it
flew until its body seemed to length-
en out into one circle of black. It
made me dizzy to watch the reptile,
and the head seemed to
sway uneasily as if in the
same way by the strange evolutions
of its adversary. The strikes of the
rattler became more frequent,
and less accurate, and once
or twice it nearly lost its
after a vicious dive.
But the blacksnake never once
changed its tactics. Swifter
swifter its lithe body seemed to
move, until the rattler was unable
to follow it with any degree of ac-
curacy. Then suddenly without
warning, there was a change. The
black circle suddenly curved sharp-

Camphor is almost entirely
shipped by direct sailing vessels to

other cargo, though it is occasion-

Via Vancouver or San Francisco the
rate of freight would be prohibitive.
In view of the fact that the de-

for obtaining the gum, the increased

for the camphor forests; and. net-

THE PRISON MULE.
A Yellow Animal That Had De-in
Twenty Years in Service.
The United States penitentiary at
island has lost one of the
longest-term prisoners that was
ever identified with the institution.
Jack, the yellow mule, has been
at rest. He will be remembered by
every person who has any knowledge
of the prison since the year 1871,
says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
When the contract was let in that
year a slanting wharf was built aid
a tramway laid, and old Jack hauled
the stone and material for the prison
that was landed by ships. He has
been used about the prison since its
occupancy in hauling wood and sup-
plies and in plowing the garden, etc.
lie has been in the service of tho
prison for twenty-three years, being
eight years old when he arrived.
He had many masters in his day
among prisoners.
Arthur Perry, who was warden
for many years, can tell many
amusing incidents in connection
with old Jack. Jack was always use-
in the search for escaped prison-
and aided materially in their re-
capture, being used in notifying the
settlers that prisoner had

was ever built high enough
to keep him from getting on the
other side and lifting a sheep or pig
up by the back with his teeth and
carrying him about the field for his
own amusement.

was Lincoln's autograph copy of his
bill for legal services for the Illinois
Central Railroad company. The bill

The faith which children have in

than by a story which was
told recently by a fond relative of an
almost precocious boy. He is about
three years of age, and his fond

mind some one of the first
