Both Ways.

The following old story is frequently told in the forecastle of British ships A seaman once came before the judges of Admiralty for examination as to his fitness for the office of boatswain on board frigate then fitting out for the Indies. The august judges were in a petulant mood, and the president of the board so far forgot himself as to ask Jack If he could tell off the points of the compass.
 favor," said the honest old tar, "I be- heve can say 1t better than your honor can say your Pater Noster."
 "H you can do that, my man, you shall have the berth" declared the judge "and if you don't do it, you sha'n't be rated at all."
 Jack agreed readily, and spun off the points of the compass from North to North-by-East, etc., rapidly, and in fine style.
 Then the judge repeated the Lords Prayer, with equal order and regularity: and when he had finished he demanded to know of his associates, if Jack had said his compass any better than he had said his Pater Noster, They decided that he had not.
 "so, my man, ;" said the judge, "you
 "No, no, begging your honor's par don !' cried Jack. ''I've done but just half the work. We don't call man fit to stand at ships helm if he can't say the compass one way as well as the other. So, now, your honor, I'll box it for you."
 And he commenced to give the thirty two points backward, commencing, 'North-North-b by West, 'ietc. and go- ing through as glibly as before. ssNow, your honor,I we'll hear you box the Pater Nosters! That's fair-I'll leave it to these honorable gentlemen, all." Of course the judge was stuck. He joined heartily in the laugh that fol- lowed, and Jack got his rate and ap- pointment.

city except 8 bit of social scandal. That I want. You may leave everything else out if you give me that That makes my circulation" l have 8 thousand times put beside him great, rough worded and rough-hewn printer boy who rose to be an editor, with whom | was once associated. He always said,
 "Never put word of dirt ill my col umns." "If you must tell, " he would say with an oath, Eff you must tell mean fact, tell it just as briefly as you can. Don't let me have any of the dirt. Because" he said, "I do not mean to be responsible for corrupting any girls heart before she has put on long dress es." It was rudely stated. He was a rude man. But I have a thousand times thought that when the need of honor should come to be parcelled out in that upper and better land, the man that spoke his notions with an oath would stand better than the man of whom the community thought so highly.
 In conclusion he said: "I would not for my life depreciate in one iota the grandeur of this position which you oc- cupy. I have no sympathy with those who declare that all of the evil of to- day comes from that source. Even the youngest of us can reach back to the real establishment of the modern news paper; can reach back to the real organ ization of the wonderful chain of pews- gatherers about the world. I do not be- ieve that it's destiny is to do evil. I believe those men that have, as we'll as those that will hold this power hereafter, will be good men in the main; and I be- lieve that as we shall learn our duty bet ter, we shall recognize our personal responsibility more clearly, we shall perform it more righteously. It is easy to decry the press. Our American press is brave press. It is the voice of to- day. It may now and then take time to become unanimous, but sooner or later it voices the will of God. Sooner or later it puts in the veto upon the act of tyranny. Sooner or later it indorses the life of righteousness.

By the Ear.

The Cincinnati man who led his wife out of a theatrical matinee by the ear, in order to break her of the habit of going to theatres, has been made very conspicuous by the publication and discussion of his exploit. "But I don't mind it," he says, "for I feel that have accomplished much good. My wife is not the only woman in Cincin- nati who has neglected her children and her household affairs to visit matinees once or twice every week, but there are hundreds of them, and it is time that husbands and fathers entered their pro- test. She knew the characters and plot of at least hundred plays, and was forever talking about them. She gave me no rest, and was worse than stage struck youth, who is eternally quoting from the drama. Nearly every move made, or opinion expressed, she likened me to some character she had seen at the theatre. One night had the tooth ache like thunder, and was walking up and down the sitting-room floor with my hand up to my jaw, when she peeped in at me, and after looking moment, said: Hello, Hamlet, to pull or not to pull.'" His chief grievance, however, was that she called him Zoodles, and that seems to have been the melting cause for his raid in the theatre.

An Incompetent Doctor.

An incompetent doctor has an ad. vantage over an incompetent lawyer injured clients can express their indie- nation, but dead patients tell no tales. Not every incompetent physician has the candor of one Dr. J. Letsome. who wrote his on epitaph:
 "When peoples ill, they comes toI
 Iphysics. bleeds and sweats 'em.
 Sometimes they lives, sometimes they die
 Whats that to IF I. Lotsome' Qets em).
 Of course, the doctors patients did not see this truth-telling epitaph until he was under the turf. A sea captain. who handles the pen as though ''to the manner born, tells in the Boston Jour- 'aal sad story of a ship doctors incom- potency:
 was second mate of 8 large clipper ship bound from London to Calcutta, We had @ large number of coolies in the tween decks as passengers. They had their own cooks, their own fre-places and arranged their own food to suit themselves.
 When we had "run our casting down." and turned north for the Bay of Bengal, these passengers began to grow sick, and very sick. At first we did not mind it, as we had doctor who we supposed knew what was the matter.
 At last matters grew worse, and the poor fellows began to die. The doctor pronounced it ship fever of an infectious type. This spread alarm all through the ship, and made matters still worse.
 But none of our regular ships com pany were troubled with it. The cap- tain did not care to expose himself, the mate didn't, the doctor didn't, and so. as had charge of the tween decks, the | quarters of these men, it fell to me to be among them alone.
 It was always my billet, somehow or other, to be in such places but then, I never cared so far as self was con cerned. Somehow or other these people | got it into their heads that could help l them. They would fall on their knees, clasp my feet, kiss them, and call, 70 | 5aib! Saib! Save me, for died! Allah! Allah!"
 When we arrived at the Hoogly, they were dying at the rate of two day. And when we reached Calcutta, we 1 ound it was not ship fever at all. They 1 cooked their rice in copper or brass kettles, and corrosion amounting to | 7erdigris got mixed with their food and poisoned them to death.

Fall and Winter.

One day recently beardless youth of twenty-five and @ matron of some forty odd summers appeared at Justice Peck's office in Cleveland and asked to be married. They had the necessary documents and the ceremony was i'm mediately performed. The woman then embraced her husband in motherly manner, and, warning him to be at home In good season, departed to at tend to some shopping. After her de- parture reporter who happened to be present asked the young man, with 9 dellcacy as rare as it was beautiful, why he had not married his wifes daughter or granddaughter. The husband re- piled that he should certainly have en- deavored to doso If there had been such an individual in existence. AS it was he was compelled to marry the mature person who had just departed, inas- much as she agreed to accept him in lieu of three e-months' board bill which he had no other means of paying.

Eccentricities of Hotel Guests.

"Do you see that man going off with the bell boy?" asked 8 clerk in one of the leading hotels ln this city of re- porter for the Free Press recently. An affirmative answer was given, at which the clerk continued sThat man is worth hundreds of thousands of dol lars, and is at the head of business which probably amounts to upward of million dollars year, yet he cannot write his own name. He stops with as four or five times a year, and I always register his name for him without ask ing any questions, for I know of his inability and he knows that I know it. D
 How about his bill? should think that hotel clerk might cheat such a man" said the reporter.
 "We never cheat anybody" said the clerk, in an injured tone, and he con- tinued: !" pity the clerk who tries to swell old --'s bill. I don't know whether he can read figures or not, but you may bet he can tell mighty soon whether his bill is right or not, even to cent"
 The above remarks led to very inter. esting chat, during which the clerk re- lated few of the eccentricities he has met with during the twenty years he has spent behind hotel desks. One of the oddities was told of 8 well-known star actor who never takes meal outside of his own room, yet who never eats any, thing-at least in the hotel-beyond Graham bread toasted, black tea, cold roasted or smoked meats, with a des- sert of toasted cheese and crackers. sI presume the simplicity of this diet ie the cause of his eating his meals in his own room," said the clerk.
 Another interesting note was of a wealthy man, 8 resident of this city. who seldom misses an evening that he does not visit the hotel reading room and spend from one to two hours read ing the Detroit daily papers.
 A novel way of carrying money was revealed by the clerk, who told of a guest who always has from $500 to $1 ,OOO on his person and upon reaching the hotel hands the clerk a package done up in tissue paper in such @ way as to look like package of tobacco or & roll of calico, or anything besides bank notes. "His package of cash has become so we'll known to the clerks that when they see it in tho safe they re- mark, Hello, old Tissue is here again."
 Illustrative of some of the trials a hotel clerk has to put up with, was told the hobby of an old man who insists on having two rooms with connecting doors, man to remain in the room and keep awake with the gas turned on full head while he sleeps. Fear of sudden illness and possible death, "which fear has existed seven or eight years, to my knowledge, is the reason the old gentle man requires companion.-Detroit Free Press.

A Brutal Lieutenant.

There is good deal of indignation ln San Francisco about the brutal treat
 ment of soldier belonging to the gar rlson on the island of Alcatrez, who had the tetnerity to offer young Lieutenant an explanation of fight that had co. cured several days previously. The Lieutenant refused to hear him. and when the soldier persisted, lost his temper at what he considered imperti. hence, and had the man bound and gagged and cast into dark, damp and dirty cell two and one-fourth feet wide by seven feet long, where he was kept confined fourteen days and nights with out being permitted to change bis clothes, or even to wash himself His sole food was dry bread, which was handed to him twice day, and three times day he received water; and h1s bed was the bare damp boards of the floor. His hands wers chained, and when suffering extorted groans from him, he was gagged. And all this tor ture was inflicted without trial or sen- tence of any military authority. This Is almost as bad as some of the instances of hideous brutality that have occurred in the armies of Germany ard Austria.

'fSir!' began Detroiter as he en- tered 8 grocery the other morning, "Sir ordered some butter of you yesterday !"
 "Yes -ah-I know, meant to have sent it up but forgot it. You shall have it right away"
 ''Sir the butter came up on time"
 ''Oh-ah-it did, eh Well, I'm sorry it was poor, but we shall have some better in day or two."
 ''Sir the butter came up on time and was all right, best I've seen in 8 year."
 'You don't say sol Certainly-just so-I'll mako up the weight on the next lot"
 ''Sir the butter was good, the weight correct, and called to order six pounds more."
