brave and popular man in the service,

ing that there was a certain amount of
recklessness in not arning the crew. An
other notable thing IS the fact that the
Winchester rifle is not used in the serv-
ice. Had Captain Brownrigg been armed
with this weapon .hel would most proba-
bly, have, been alive now to describe its
deadly effect upon the reacherous Arabs.

lookout, where he must attend strictly to
business, though ,drenched, it may be,
to the skin, or shivering in the most
piercing of midwinter blasts And,
leaving this task, he may be sent imme-
diately aloft, where for an hour or two
longer he balances himself on slippery
foot-rope, and, clinging by his elbows to
swaying yard, battles with the stiff
ened. Stating canvas, his fingers be-
numbed, and his ears and nose almost
freezing
Through it all, or while about his Or

harsh words or reproaches, according to
the fancy of those in authority over him.
And | do not mean by this the extraor-

and is occasionally at the present day,

the great social gulf between forecastle
and quarterback will seldom be bridged
by kindly, never by familiar, words
And however hungry he may become for

expect to find it in the forecastle Many
of the sailors whom helwill meet there
at the present day are worse than igno-
rant; they are foul-mouthed and profane.
Associated With boys dreams OF sea
life is almost always the delightful hope
of sightseeing jim foreign lands. But if
he stays by his ship in port-the only
safe thing for him to do-he is kept con
tinually at work, from early dawn till
dark. And sightseeing in foreign city
after dark has numberless disadvantages
If he is foolish enough to leave his ship
when he arrives in port, he not only
loses the chance of joining her again,
but the thousand allurements on every
hand are almost sure to lead boy,
thus separated from all restraint, into
the downward path. lfs.-.~
Such is avery small part of the un-
vanished side of merchant-service sea
life, of which more. especially | have

A. AnoEnQOunter with Slave DhOw.

An English correspondent writes as
follows: The story of the British FIGHT
with slave dhow, flying French coiors
is now officially and in detail before the
country The affair was not an attempt
to capture the SLAYER; it was not a fight
at all, but a massacre, The incident is
a tragic episode of the work which Great
Britain performs as sort of naval police
in the forcible abolition of slavery. While
the murder of Captain Brownrigg and
the deaths of the other brave fellows were
being lamented in England, retributiye
Justice soon laid hands, upon the dhew
and the Arab assassins. 1t appears that
Captain Brownrigg had long been en-
gagged off Zanzibar in the philanthro-
pic work of the government. He had
never boarded French dhows, but had
been in the habit of running alongside in
his pinnpce to verify their papers. Other
dhows heahad regularly boarded. Some
he had captured, releasing their Living
cargeas. On this, occasion, Dec. 3, he
only intended ''quite cursory examina-
ton" of the dhow in question. He did
not even arm his boats crew. / He went
alongside without hailing or stopping
the dhow. Just as he was making
the vessel he sent the cockswain forward
To attach the pinnace to the dhow, so that
he might converse with the Captain as
they both forged along through the wa
ter, AS the man was standing on the
stern of the boat, in the act of ''making
fast, he caught sight of eight or ten
men crouching down with guns at the
''ready'' position. He called out to the
Captain, who was standing aft at the
tiller, whereupon the Arabs rose up. and
fired. He closed with one of them, and
the two fell overboard. Fifteen to twenty

better, pulled out, they injure and spoil
the good flowers. .

you saw three or four things and you
say four. The next time the number
becomes larger, and so the weed grows
until it is strong and hardy. Be sure
and pull it up.

A Shrewd Stroke by Dumas, Sr.

The following characteristic anecdote
isitold about the elder Dumas: just
before Monte Cfisto was brought out at
the Porte ST. Martin Theater the di-
rector entered into an engagement with
the author to pay bonus of 10000
francs if the proceeds of the first fifty
representations reached the sum of
100000 francs.l During the course lof
the tiftieth performance Dumas made
his appearance at the theater to inquire
about the receipts. '!It is already nine
O'Clock, said the manager, q" here are
my books; you will see that the total
receipts amount to 149, $50 francs. iand
so there is no bonus, to be paid your!
" You are quite right" responded the
dramatist, " but l am very sorry, as l
counted ON receiving the money and
invited few friendsopn the strength of
it, TO sup witt. me- and now l have not
a sou in my pocket" MY purse is at
your disposal;' how muck do you
wantP' "Oh, not more than'a hun
bred francs at the most,' Dumas care
lessly replied. 1.-THE hundred francs
passed into his pocket, and he sauntered
out of the manager sapctum to enter
tain his friends. Half an hour after he
had gone the treasurer of. the theater
brought the director couple of louis
as supplementary receipts for the day.
Alexander Dumas, it turned out, deter
-Ihined'on not, letting the 10000 franes
. slip from his Fingers, had taken a couple
of toges-with u portion, no doubt of
the loan made him-and had thus made
the receipts amount from 149, $50 francs
to the desired total.
