How TailOr's Apprentice Became a
Nj shipman.

When shall we know that the enemy
has given in?" asked lad who had
once been a tailor's apprentice, but had
afterward entered the British navy, as
a common boy, about the year 1880
When that flag is hauled down."
answered the sailor addressed, 'the
ship will be ours.''
''Oh, if that all, I'll see what ] can
dor'
The vessel on which the speakers
stood had had the fortune, few hours
earlier, to fall in with French squad
ron, and warm action, bravely fought
on both sides, was maintained. After
a time the boy had become impa-
tient for the result, and addressed the
above question to sailor. No sooner
was he told that the withdrawal of the
flag from the enemy masthead would
be the signal that the action had been
decided than he determined to ''see what
he could do"
AT that moment the vessels were en-
gagged yard-arm to yard arm, and were
obscured in the smoke OF the guns. In
an instant the boy mounted the shrouds,
passed from the yard OF his own ship to
that OF the enemy, assembled with agili-
ty to the maintop- gallant masthead,
struck and carried off the French flag
unperceived, and got back to the yard
arm of his own ship in safety.
Before he could get down to the deck
the British saw that the flag had disap-
peared, and shouted: Victory! victo-
ry?' The french crew, seeing also
that the flag was gone, and thinking
that it had been struck by order of the
Admiral. fled from their guns; and al
though he officers attempted to rally
them, the confusion was hopeless
Then the British, availing themselves of
the opportunity, boarded the French
vessel and captured it.
In the midst of the excitement the
new boy came down from the shrouds
with the French flag wrapped round
his body, and displayed it with no little
glee to the astonished tars. The news
spread quickly to the quarterback, and
the blushing boy was led into the pres
ence of the Admiral. who praised him
for his gallantry. and rated him there
and then as midshipman.
1t was not long before promotion
followed promotion, and the tailors APP
prentice became known as one of En-
gland most gallant sailors. -Ha,pey's

Sleep.

1t is reported of Lord Brougham, that,
when he returned home after his brill
and exhausting defense of Queen Caro-
line, he went at once to bed, with orders
not to be disturbed, however long he
might sleep-orders which his household
obeyed, though with astonishment deep
ening into something like terror, as the
young lawyers nap prolonged itself for
nearly eight and-forty hours. His physi-
clan afterward declared that this sleep
had saved him from brain-fever, and
though probably only the marvelously
recuperative powers of youth enabled
him to take natures remedy in one such
mighty dose, his extraordinary capacity
OF work up to extreme old age may not
improbably have been due to constitu-
ton endowed with such means for re-
pairing at night the waste of the day.

NATURE S MISTAKES.

Il think you have forgotten, ma'am, that lit
ARe fond of dolls and tops and sleds and balls
and other toys;
Why didn yOu-l wonder now-iust take il
To have such things all growing in a lovely
garden bed?
And then should have planted df it only had

Some vines with little pickles, and a great big
coOky tree;
And trees, besides, with gum-drops and cara

And lemonade should bubble up in ali the little

ners, and. garlands hung in huge fes-
toons from house to house; and for two
whole weeks nothing else was thought
of and talked about.
The King and Queen lived so happily
together for year that the King had
quite forgotten about the gingerbread
and the Queen about the trombone.
Unhappily, one morning. the King got
out of bed with his left foot foremost,
and that day all things went wrong. So
it happened that the royal pair quar-
relied for the first time, though they
could not have told the reason why.
In short, the King was cross, and the
Queen was snappish and insisted on
having the last word.
at is about time that you ceased find
ing fault with everything" the Queen
said, at last, with great scorn, Struggling
her shoulders. why, you can't even
play on the trombone"
''And you can't bake gingerbread, !"
the King retorted, quick as flash.
For the first time the Queen did not
know what to say, and so, without an
other word, they went to their separate
rooms. The Queen threw herself on
the sofa and wept bitterly. What a
little fool you are?' she sobbed.
''Where was your common senseP You
couldn't have been more stupid if you
had tried"
As for the King. he strobe up and
down the room rubbing his hands. ut
is fortunate that my wife can't bake
gingerbread. he thought, gleefully.
..for if she could, what should | have
answered when she said that couldn' &
play on the trombonep"
The more he thought, the more cheer
full he became. He whistled favorite
tune, looked at the great picture of his
wife over the mantel, and then, climb
ing upon chair, he brushed away a
cobweb that was dangling over the nose
of the Queen.
How angry she must have been,
poor little womann' he said, at last.
"Suppose l see what she is doing"
He stepped into the long corridor into
which all the rooms opened, and it be-
ing the day when all things went wrong,
the groom of the chambers had forgot
ten to light the entry-lamp, though it
was eight o'clock at night and pitch
dark. The King went cropping forward,
