THE first American whaler which ever
doubled Cape Horn was the Rebecca
built by Claghorn, who was also the
architect of the famous frigate Constitu-
ton. She was launched in 1875, in New
Bedford, and though she was of only 1S5
tons she was regarded Il big ship in those
days, and the compliment of command
ing her was given to Capt Cornelius
Grinnell, father of Henry and Moses III.
Grinnell, of New York city. During the
reign ofthe Directory she was taken by the
French, recapturcd by the British and re-
stored to the owners through heavy sal
wage. The Rebecca was lost at sea in the
winter of 1904.

Up to a certain limit nv son -

| Wen, now, see, mother, three cheap
pairs would have lasted as long as one of
this kind, and l have the pleasure of
| wearing handsome boots all the time at no
more cost And he laid the wcll-satu-
rated boots on the stove to dry.
Shortly his mother came near. " Ii is
rule said she, not to put leather where
you cannot lay your hand" Fred snatched
up the boot, but too late. He saw it curl
and warp before his eyes. Only two
weeks since he bought them, and now
they were useless. This was calamity.
To visit the heronry without boots was
out of the question. He must have
to his father at the breakfast table, and
there would be time sufficient for pur-
chasing them before the excursion, which
started at nine. Accordingly he did so.
When the meal had well progressed,
" Father" said he, - had misfortune
yesterday"
Nothing, / hope, that will take money
to repair. | am rather short to-day"
why, no-not exactly" said Fred,
hesitatingly; that is, | can have it
charged at kendalrs; it's pair of boots

1t seems only yesterday that you got
that expensive pair that was to last six
months; and really, now, / think shoes
Will have to be the order of the day for
him.
Fred, quite disconnected at his fathers
unwonted tone, Withdrew hastily to his
room to cogitate upon the matter. What
does father mean. Can he not see that
| must dress like other young gentlemen?
His meditations, though unusually deep,
threw no light upon the subject. The
excursion went without him, and he spent
the forenoon pacing up and down the

lunch frowning.
When he had borne it as long as he
could he said confidentially to his moth
er that "he didn't see what allied his
father"
"Why, my son, because he has refused
you once, are you surprised? Think back
on all these eighteen years; why should
you not be more surprised at the many,
many times he has gratified your" This
was new and somewhat soothing view
of the case nevertheless he felt as if he
had been pushed bit out of the nest of
case and plenty where he had grown fat
and saucy.
Well" said he to himself after under
going the depression of seeing the heron
party return gay and tired well, l will
have some boots, if l earn them myself"
As he turned, there were workmen pass
ing jingling their weeks wages in their
pockets. The sound struck him pleas
antly. II cannot earn in their way, but
there are other ways in which might"
and Immediately Morris discarded offer
flashed into his mind. "I'll do it," said
he With Fred to think was to act. He
fastened down the street, found the place
was still open to him, accepted it, and was
in time to tell his mother before tea.
" That's right, my boy" and the loving
look that accompanied the word was
precious to him.
Father smiled when told of Fred's
prompt action, and smiled again when he
thought of the lesson of the wrens.-

HindOO Worship Of Tools.

AT the festival of Sauri, wife of Sccva,
and of the three principal flindoo deities,
which is celebrated for several days in
September and is one of the most sol
emn of the Hindoo festivals, every arti-
san, every laborer and handicraftsman
offer sacrifices and supplications to the
tools and implements which they use in
the exercise of their various professions.
The laborer brings his pillow, hoe and
other Instruments, piles them together,
and offers to them a sacrifice, consisting
of incense, flowers, fruits, rice and other
similar articles; after which he pros
trates himself before them at full length.
The mason offers the same worship and
sacrifice To his trowel, his rule and other
Instruments. The carpenter is no less
piouS with regard To his Ratchet, his
saw, his adzc and his plane, before
which he is Offering Il sacrifice of rice
and flowers previous to prostrating him
self before them. The barber, too, col
lects his raZorS in Il heap and adorcs
them with similar rites. And the shop
keepers are in the daily habit of person
flying the stool on which they sit: oh,
great stool, send me to-day many Gus
toners with full purses and empty
heads" Every person, III short IN TINS
solemnity adores the instrument or tool
he principally uses in gaining his liveli-
hood. The tools are then considered as
dcitics to whom they present their sup
plications that they will continue favor
able and furnish them with the means oi
living; and to such depth does this
base idolatry descend that the farmers
in certain districts offer a sacrifice to the
dunghill which is afterward to enrich
their ground

In addition to this each bond is considered As ticket in

o these bonds not only Is secured in mis- nve sment and
