The Tale Of Two Ancient Mariners

Two ancient mariners, who landed in
San Francisco nine days ago, could a
tale unfold that would keep the average
wedding guest away from the feast, and
give him the nightmare for a fortnight.
they had been rescued from the wreck of
a Japanese junk, on July 5, by British
bark, after drifting in the open sea near
ly eight months. The junk left Hako-
dadi on November 9, and lost its masts
and rudder in heavy squall. The crew
threw overheard the cargo of salt fish on
November 2l, and the vessel was kept
ahoat. Water, ire-wood and provisions
soon gave out, and scurvy-the blackest
of scurvy-appeared. On January 11th
sailor died; three DAYS afterwards the
Captains sufferings were ended; and be
fore the end Of the month four of the
crew went mad from drinking salt wa
ter, and died raving maniacs, blackened
to char with scurvy. The next death
| occurred late in March, and the next in
the middle of May. There were now
two survivors. A heavy shower brought
| them relief, and enabled them to store
considerable water. There was a little
rice in the larder, and early in June they
they caught fifteen fish. The junk was
an utter wreck, covered with sea-week
and branacles. At last sail appeared,
and the sailors were rescged. To pro-
vide against emergencies they had salted
down the bodies of their comrades.

How to Treat Unexpected Guests.

When one of Gathers" business
friends drives into the yard at about
half-past eleven, the good wife knows
that he will surely stay to dinner.
Father is a great story teller. and he
likes to get hold of new auditor. How
aptly comes frown of dismsy and dis.
pleasure on the smooth, fair face of his
helpmeet. What can be done? Work
is going on according to the days plan
in the kitchen; the dinner was arranged
for none but the family; the children
are coming home from school and max
ing chatter; all is hustle and confusion.
She feels that the best dishes must be
used, and something extra cooked for
the inopportune guests.
Now, good woman, don't do it! Your
fine dinner, with its attendant irritation
and "upsetting," will taste no better than
what you had prepared. Make no diff
ference in your plans, but seat your Wis
itor with a smile and easy greeting al
your hospital board; and he will fee
more comfortable and happy thar
though you gave him a banquet. Yot
save temper and trouble, and gain th'
enjoyment of giving your friend rea
cozy time. A sensible person know
that farmers do not have six course
upon their table daily, and the whole
some. hearty fare, with good nature An,
hospitable cordiality, will be tincture,
with sweet, domestic sense that is in
evitably lost in grand dinners. Smile

A Mail Package Cast ON the Waters
Four Years Ago.

Over four years ago package valued
at $50, was mailed at LindenviIle to a
post Office in Pennsylvania, and as
means of security the sender had it reg
istered; but somewhere on its passage 1t
disappeared and could not be found.
The case was investigated by special Of
ficers, and everything possible done to-
find the lost package, but without avail.
Lindenville is a country post office and
from there the mail is carried to Will
liamsfeld, railroad station, by route
agent, and in all cases registered mail
matter has to be receipted for before he
takes it away. In this case the Linden
vile postmaster had receipt from the
agent, but as the agent had none from
the Williamsfeld postmaster the pack
age could be traced no further. After
q yigilant search the package was given
up for lost, and the route agent was
compelled to pay the loss. The matter
was almost forgotten, until few days
ago the package turned up, and it had
been all those years lying within an
arms length of the WilliamsfieId post
masters desk. 1t had been received
from the route agent in a small pouch,
together with about forty letters, and as
the pouch was an extra one, only occas-
ionally used, it was by mistake hung
upon hook near the desk, and there
having been no use for it since, it had
been there all these years. One day last
week the pouch was taken down for use,
and its contents found intact [Cleve-

Defects Of the Human Eye.

In a recent discussion before the Ply
steal Society, London, one OF the speak.
ers remarked that, though the eye has
ben considered to be achromatic because
it practically is SO, tbs easy to cite evid
ence of the defects of the organ in this
respect. For instance, to short-sighted
persons the moon appears 70 have blue
ends of the spectrum cannot be seen
with equal dis,inctness without adjust
ing the focusing glass. Again, black
patch Of paper ON blue ground appears
to have fringed edge if viewed from
even a short distance, while black
patch on a red ground, when observed
under similar conditions, has perfectly
distinct margin. In the opinion of the
speaker referred to, it is the overlapping
Of images in the eye which produces the
mental impression that there 10 no want
of achromatism.

Celery Medicinal.

We notice with satisfaction, says the
Builder, that celery is becoming more
common and cheaper in our markets;
its cultivation cannot be too strongly
recommended to farmers, as by its pro-
duction they not only grow profitable
plant, but confer benefit on the COM
munity, as the habitual daily use of this
vegetable is much more beneficial TO
man than most people are aware of. A
writer who is familiar with its virtues,
says: 81 have known many men, and
women too, who, from various causes,
had become SO much affected by nerv-
BUSINESS that, when they stretched Out
their hands, they would like aspen
leaves on a windy day, and by moder-
ate daily use of the blanched footstalks
of celery as salad, they became as
strong and steady as other people. /
have known others so nervous that the
least annoyance put them in state of
agitation, and they were in constant per-
plexity and fear, who were also effect
ually cured by moderate daily use OF
blanched celery as salad at mealtime.
I have known others to be cured of pal
pitation of the heart. Everybody en-.
gagged in labor weakening to the nerves
should use celery daily in the season
and onions in its stead when not in sea.

While Major Howrigan, manager in
the depot shed, was directing the eastern
arrivals to their trains, yesterday morn

was a common clothes basket, carried by
two men. Howrigan stopped them and
inquired:
whats in that basket? Take it to

"It's basket of babies"
"Twins?"
"No; two boys and a girl, all that are
left out of four"
Good Lord deliver us! You can pas
on" said the Major, almost dumbfound-
ed at the sight Of three healthy looking
infants nesting down asleep IN the cen.
ter Of the basket.
Then the mother came up-a bright
buxom, rosy checked woman, as pretty
as a peach. She blushingly smiled up.

How the Age Affects Us.

All agree that this is a wonderful age.
Without having very clear and defin-
ite idea Of Its wnndertulness, most peo-
pie feel that the world is going out at
rapid rate, and that life is crowded with
excitements. They see enough to salts
fly themselves that many get rich rapid
ly, that many go to ruin post haste, and
that everybody is living at a much
higher temperature than before. The
thoughtful few look deeper into the
heart Of things, and, with conflicting
feelings, stand perple1ed before the
growing anomalies of the times. New
forces strike their imagination. On ev-
cry side energies well nigh superhuman
are rushing into forms and shapes that
defy calculation as to future results. To
all such the problem of good and evil is
more than ever beyond human solution.
The inspiration, whatever be its course,
is certainly intense. Men are battling
with nature, with chance and fortune, as
they never battled before; and verify
their powers grow mightier with the
strife. And as to the degree and extent
Of this inspiration, its amount of excits,
bic and diffusive force, we may truthful
ly speak Of it rs sudden and startling.
