WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent, )
Wasuinetoy, D. ., Jan 10, 98.
Mr, McKiuley, by working overtime
and by using a shovel on the pie,
managed to send more nominations to
the Senate since Congress reassembled
than before done in any single week
since he took charge of the pte counter,
but it has not lessened the pressure on
him tor pie even a little bit. For
every hungry meuth he has filled there
gre a thousand asking to be filled.
There i3 a suspicion that Mr. McKias
ley, instead of being oppesed to the
warm fight that is being made in the
House fora modification of the civ
service law, is really in favor of - it.
Lacking the backbone to us?
authority to modify the rules under the
present law, he wiil do nothing. But
if Congress adopts any legislation he
will allow 1! to become a law, probably
ails
witheut his signature. The ground
for this suspicion is ample, Many
of Mr. McKinleyTs warm friends are
engaved in this fight, and every mem-
ber ot his Cabinet has gone on record
The
bill now before the House civil service
committee limits the law to those
positions paying from 2900 to $1,800 a

Want of Tact. |
Never say too much. Manners go}
a great way, and delicate matters |
managed with tact can be carried |
out without the slightest blow to
the sensitive feelings of the parties
eoncerned. It is not tact to rush up
to a person and say, ~~How ill you
are looking.TT Any one who is not
feeling well generally knows all
about it and does not like to be re-
minded of the fact. On the contrary,
in meeting anybody who is looking
particularly well or handsome, then
keep people in good humor and
never rub them the wrong way
shows a wonderful amount of tact,
but how many people there are who
are always doing or saying the
wrong thing.
�"�yo old schdol friends who had
got seen each other in years met
again a short time ago, and almost
immediately after the first words of
greeting had been exchanged, the
one exclaimed to the other, ~Why,
you look as if you had been crying
for years; your face is so wrinkled.�T
Now that remark, tosay the least,
did not show tact, and in a measure
it destroyed the old feeling of aftec-
tion which had existed for so many
years. People do not like to be told
pleasant truth must be told, to use
a little tact in the telling of it will)
make the hurt Jess deep. Say and
do pleasant things in this world
whenever it is possible, but if disa-
greeable ones come to the surface
handle them as gently as possible
to spare the feelings of others."De-

| Athletics and Health.
There is a populur delusion that
an athleté must necessarily be al
healthy man, by reason of his ath-
leticism, but as a matter of fact,
muscular development is not an{4
affair of the constitution; it is an
accident, pure and simple. Strong We | ANN AU] i RON
limbs are frequently to be found as- | 8 me
sociated with a weak heart, and
many a strong man dies of con-
sumption. If health may be defined
as a capacity for hanging on to life,
then in many cases the weakest are
the healthiest. If such a definition
is accurate, women are healthier
than men, their average length of
days being greater. It is doubtful,
however, if centenarians, merely
because they are centenarians, are
absolutely the healthiest. It is as
hard to say what life is as to say
what health is, and the way in
which unhealthy people are tena-
cious of life is not surprising. "New

TO CUR NERVOUS DYSP¢PSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well,"to
Know What Appetite and Good °
Digestion Mean, Make'a Test
of StuartTs Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianap-
olis Gentleman
meinem me
No trouble is more common or more
misundefstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to bla se and ave surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicine and
spring remedies; the real sent of the
mis hief is lost sight of, the stomach is
the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dysreptics often do not have
any pain whateverin the stomach, nor
perh ps ary of the usual s:mptoms of
weakness, oervous dvepep-
sia shows itse'f not im the stomach so
much as in nearly every other orgar, in
some eses the heart patnitates and. is
irregular. in others the kianeys are
affected, in others the bowels are eun-
stivatee, with headaches, still cthers are
troubled with loss of flesh and appetite,
with accumulation of gas, sour risings
and heartburn.
Mr A W Sharper of No 6! Pro:pect
St Indianapolis, Ind., wriTes 2s follows:
A motive of pure gratitude prompts me
towrite these few lines regarding the
new and valuable medicine, StuartTs
Dyspepsia Tablets. I h.ve been a
sufferer from nervous dyspepsia for the
last four years, have uged varios pat-
ent medicines and other reinedies
without any faverable result, They
sometimes give t mporary relief until
the effects of the medicine wore off. L
attT buted this to my s*dentarv h-bits,
being a bookkeeper with ~ittle physical
exercise. but I am glad to state that the
tablets huve overcome all these onsta«
cles. tor 1 haye gained in flesh, sle-p
|better and am better in eve y way.
The above is written notfe notor ety
bat is based on actual fact

ON THE MONITOR. |
A Veteran's Reminiscences of the Battle
In Hampton Roads, .
"The important part which op-
portunity ~plays in the lives of men
is well illustrated by the career of
the late Admiral Worden,� remark-
ed Captain Louis N. Stodder of the
United States revenue cutter service
and United States supervisor of an-
chorages, port of New York, as he
sat one day last week in his room in
the barge office. Captain Stodder
has the distinction of being the last
survivor of the officers who were
assigned to duty on the Monitor
when it began its career, and who
remained in constant service on the
vessel until the end off Cape Hat-
teras.
By a singular coincidence Captain
StodderTs room almost overlooks the
statue erected in Battery park to
the memory of Ericsson, once his
intimate friend.
~*You see,T continued the captain,
~naval officers were not overplenti-
ful at the beginning of the war, and
the officials at Washington had to
make the best use of the material
they hadin hand. In fact, a great
many officers were enrolled from
the merchant marine service. If
went into the service from the mer-
chant marine myself. I. think the
fact that Worden, then ranking only
as lieutenant, was placed in com-
mand of the Monitor would show
that that vessel was looked upon ag
rather a doubtful experiment by
the government and that the selec-
tion of a man to take command was
not made by reason of any special
fitness for the position.
~Tt was WordenTs good luck that
he was assigned to the Monitor, for
the result of the fight made the ves-
sel and all on board famous.
~The brave part that he played
in the fight was recognized by con-
gress, and he was rapidly promoted
to high rank, which other officers ob-
tained only after 20 years of service.
oT remember him well when he
first came on board the Monitor
about a month before the fight. He
had just been released from prison
and looked thin and sallow. He had
the appearance of one dying from
fever complaint. I never thought
it possible for him to live long.
~~During the fight he was cool and
collected. I recall an incident which
Ido not remember ever seeing pub
lished. The pilothouse was situated
in the bow of the Monitor, quite
away from the turret. During the
fight I was in the turret with other
officers, when suddenly we saw
Lieutenant Worden climbing up
where we were. Without saying
anything he opened one of the tur-
ret doors and stepped out on the
deck in full view of the enemy.
~* oWhy, captain, whatTs the trou-
bleéT exclaimed several of the offi-
cers in astonishment at his fearless
act.
~**T canTt see well enough from
the pilothouse,T came the quiet re
ply. ~I wanted to get out here fora
moment to take in the whole situa-
tion.T Then, looking around fora
few moments, he came ingide.
~~Lieutenant Worden was very
popular with officers and men alike.
They all worshiped him. Although
only 45 years old at the time of the
Monitor-Merrimac fight, he looked
almost 60. He wore a long beard at
the time, and looked just as the re-
cent pictures made him appear.
~~T last saw Admiral Worden at
the ceremonies attending the re-
moval of Ericsson's body to its final
resting place. Only a handful of
persons were admitted to the cero-'
mony. ~They were those who sur-'
vived from the officers and men of
the Monitor. Admiral Worden was
in a carriage with Secretary Tracy. |
He was very feeble, and his end
even then seemed but a short way
off, and yet that was several years
ago.TT"Troy T*
The Foot of the Reindeer,
The fore foot of the horse toa
great extent determines its value, as
upon this portion of its anatomy its:
speed and endurance depend. The
foot of the reindecr is most peculiar |
in construction. Itiscloven through
the middle and .each half curves
upward in front, It is slightly,
elongated and capable of a consider. |
able amount of expansion. When!
placedT on an irregular surface, |
whieh is difficult ~¢ traverse, the ani-
mal contracts the feet mto a sort of,
claw, by which a firm hold is secur-
ed. When moving rapidly, the two
portions of the foot, as it is lifting,
strike together, the hoofs making a
continuous clattering noige, which
may, be heard at a considerable dis-
tance, It is this peculiarity of the
uneven country, where almost ny
other animal would prove a failure

NEWSPAPERS IN EGYPT.
They Flourish on Bribes and Are Pab-
lished In a Leisurely Way.
The creed-of the easterner is never
to be ina hurry. He is never anx-
ious' to learn anything that requires
any trouble to obtain. This is why
journalism is as paradoxical as ev-
erything else in the land of the
pharaohs. Newspapers are run for
the benefit of the owners, not of the
public. The less news a journal
contains the more it pleases the pro-
prietor. He likes his staff to arrive
at 8oTclock in the morning and leave
before 1 p. m. The papers, without
exception, appear about 3 o'clock in
the afternoon. Any superfluous en-
ergy insures immedidte dismissal.
Advertisements receive prominent
notice in the news columns. It is
even on record that an Egyptian
editor has announced to the public
that he has sampled a special brand
of ~~ScotchT�T the night before and
found the ~~flavor excellent.� That
will insure him a case of 12 dozen
on his arrival home that evening.
Alexandria and Cairo between
them contain some 20 papers, most-
ly Arabic or French. The latter
predominate. There is one English
daily published in Alexandria and
one English weekly at Cairo. The
former has stood the test of an ex-
istence of several years; the latter
is a new institution. It is worked
on the American plan. Itis vulgar,
but a good hotel guide. The former
is devoted mainly to shipping news,
and the editor is an old established
Anglo-Egyptian.
Egypt, like the Channel islands,
eschews anything so commonplace
Anglo- Eg eroten takes little interest
in home news, military and official
people, of course, excepted. Any-
way they donTt publish home news
in the papers. Journals, like offi-
cials, subsist mainly on backsheesh.
The merest official matters consti-
tute the main news of theday. The
papers contain but few headings.
Scare columns are unknown. ~A
new British or French hand, fresh
from home, who wants to interview
celebrities as they pass through, is
quickly suppressed. The Egyptian
press, like speech, according to Tal-
leyrand, has been given us to sup-| 3,
press our thoughts, or news, not to/4
reveal them.
This is tantalizing to the energetic | @¢
journalist, but the Egyptian editor
knows best. The susceptibilities of | §
14 more or less interested powers fe
would be raised at once if anything
wrong were said, Hence it is that
nobody will venture to start a new
paper in Egypt. It is not worth
while. No man unacquainted with
Hegypt internally could run a paper
successfully in that country.
The consular court cases form an
amusing featureof Egyptian journal-
ism. The average European reporter
would stand aghast had he to attend
them all. Every European power
worth mentioning has its own con-
sular court. Then, as all the world
knows, there are the mixed courts.
Lat of all come the native tribu-
na... Were the proceedings in all
of these courts duly reported, the
sia. of the average Egyptian paper
would have to be largely increased.
s ue little attention is given in
the uglish paper to racing, mainly
because this is chiefly under the
auspices of British officers.
Tho news of the day mainly con-
sists of the movements of miuisters,
how many natives have been knock-
ed down by derricks on the quay
and the arrests for smuggling hash-
eesh. If a fire takes place, it is
given three lines ina back column.
Full reports are great rareties. Wed- |
dings and social functions are given
prominence or not, according to the
relations, pleasant or otherwise, the
editor may have with the jurties
~ concerned."PearsonTs Week !y
Castle Garden.
Castle Garden was built by the
United States in 1807 from the
plans of Lieutenant Colonel Jona-
than Willams, C. E., aud was called
kort Clinton. in itz it was ceded
tv the city. In} }524 it became a place
of amusement and about 1826 got
ihe name of Castle Garden. In 1845
iuere were Ethiopian niugstrels
{Lere, In 1847.0 wtlical ¢ompa-
nies played there and in 1850 Jenny |
Lind sang there. In 1855 it was
closed as a place of amusement, and
the commissicners of immigration
(ook it as an immigrant depot. In
1870 it suffered from fire, and on
July 9, 1876, it was burned to the
ground, It was rebuilt at once. In
1892 the depot was moved to Ellis
island, and Castle Garden reverted
tu the city, which in 1896 opened an
; aquarium there."New. York Sun. |
