THE GALLANT SIX Hun
DRED.'>

The end of Tewfik Bey and his
band at Sinkat was truly heroic.
The garrison, containing but six
hundred men, was hemmed in by
tie rebels and its supplies cut off.
AS q final resort they destroyed
their military stores, exploded their
magazine and each man being pro-
vided with all the cartridges he
could carry, the six hundred sur
vivors dashed out upon an enemy
ten times their superior in num-
bers. After tremendous fighting,
in which each individual man was
a hero and a leader, they went
down before the crush of superior
numbers, who for an hour they
had held at q standstil1 Not a
man was left alive; they all died
fighting and passed away like the
Old Guard at Waterloo, the force
which persisted with Custer. or the
six hundred who faced the batteries
of Ba!aklaya. At the same time
comes a shameful humiliation to
England. A correspondent at
Cairo says: The disaster to Baker
Pasha's army caused nothing like
the sorrow which prevails here
among Englishmen over the mas
sacre at Sinkat. There is en- uni
versal feeling OF humiliation and
shame that the gallant men OF Sin
kat were killed almost within sight
Of British ships.

Cooking With Oil Stoves.

Mrs. Lincoln, the Boston lecturer on
cookery says When one tells you there
is mo trouble" in using an oil stove you
may be morally certain she does not know
what she is talking about. To be. sure
YOU are saved additional heat and dust in
the summer when you have so much OF
both from nature herself but unless you
are careful you will have smoky atmos-
phere and a disagreeable odor You
needn't have either if you choose to man.
age properly; The mo trouble" people
will have it all the time. The way to
avoid it is to keep the burner perfectly
clean and entirely free from the gummy
burner deposit which even the best oil
will have on the polished brass burner.
Every day the burner should be washed
in hot, clean suds, thoroughly dried and
the ckreplaced; the little brass net
work about the base of the burner should
be carefully wiped and kept free from
every particle of dust. The wick should
be cut squarely and evenly with sharp
SCISSORS, and not even a thread should be
left that is higher than the rest. When
the blaze is extinguished the wick should
be turned down at least half an inch

above. or even with the top, it will absorb
oil, and run over the top, making it
greasy and soiled, and emit an unpleasant
odor. The best quality of oil should be
used, as after all, it is fully as economi-
cal; there is less sediment in it, it will
burn to the last drop, will not smoke so
badly and does not leave such a rank
odor. The stove should be filled after
using, and when it is first lighted the
blaze should be watched, because it in
creases in intensity and very soon begins
to smoke. 1t can then be regulated and
left for some time, especially if you are
baking; if you have water on boiling, as
soon as the water reaches the boiling
point the flame will increase again and
must be turned down. The reason for
this nobody pretends to explain, but the
fact remains

HORRIBLE DEATH AT SEA-DARING AT
TEMPT TO RESCUE.

While the Pacific Steam Navigation Com
pany's steamship Chala, Captain Hogg, now
IN this port, says the Panama Star and Her
aid, was leaving Bahia, one of her cooks, who
was asleep on the rail, fell overheard An
alarm was Immediately given, the ship was
Storped and backed, life, buoys were thrown
overheard, and, with amazing rapidity. a boat
WAS in the water and in charge of Mr.. Kel-
lick, the first officer, pulling hard in the di-
rection of the man, who was a splendid SWIM
mer, and who made progress in the direction
of the boat Suddenly, however, the place
became alive with sharks, and it at once be-
came apparent the unfortunate man was
doomed. Once he threw himself ont of the
water in an effort to escape the jaws of one
OF the monsters, but a few seconds more he
was evidently seized and dragged under, as
nothing more was seen of him. Other sharks,
apparently disappointed in their hopes of
prey, were then observed rushing through the
water IN all directions, and even appeared to
mediate an attack on the boat, which, after
an Intellectual search, pulled back to the ship
The sharks were apparently ravenous, and
the rapdity with which they swarmed around
the unfortunate man amazed all who witness
ed this striking proof of the voraciousness of
these den1zens of the deep.

Chicken Lice on Horses.-It is no

remedy is to move the fowls from the sta

THE BELL RINGER AND THEA
BY ERNEST W. sHURTLEFF.


The aged bellman climbed his lonely tower.
Where cooed the doves, each to his gentle mate.
Days rosy footprints faded with the hour,
And shadows gathered at the chapel gate
The years had crowned with white the old mans
And from his life his dearest joys had flown.
The friends his heart had cheered were dead, and
OF all his kindred he was left alone.
His mellow bell the death of evening tolled
Der listening wood and glen the music rung;
The nights blue gates sealed with stars of god
And beauty watched in heaven with silent tongue
Soon like a spirit of the quiet hour,
From eastern dreams the smiling moon arose,
And through the lonely chapel's fretted tower
The slanting beams streaned in like silver SHOWS
The bellman tarried, gazing on the night
He thought of all his kindred gone to rest
He longed to view them in their glory bright,
And clasp again his children TO his breast.
He thought of Casters risen Lord. He thought
OF Mary weeping at her Masters feef;
Fell like an echo Of his childhood sweet.
When 10 two angels, clad in beauty rare,
Beside him stood. more bright than song can tell
Pare thoughts of God had made their features fair
And blessings from their lips like music fell.
The wondering bellman raised his trembling hand
To shield his eyes, with glory dmmed and dazed
"Oh, speak!'' he cried, "from what cele stial land
Have ye descended" spelled with joy he gazed
And as their quiet answer charmed his ear,
He felt his joyous soul within him rise
Glad as bird that feels its freedom near.
1--WE are the angels Life and Death" they sung.
"Choose thou between us, which shall be thy
guide!"
Dumb for a moment was the bellman's tongue,
Then, with a sudden thrill of Joy, he cried:
"what Life and Deaths thought that Death was
drear
/ thought he came with sorrow in his breath
But 10 ye both so mild, SO bright appear,
know not which is Life or which is Death!'
Then forth he stretched his trembling arm and took
The nearer angels shining garment hem;
For in his eyes he saw gentle look
That minded him of Christ of Bethlehem.
The angel smiled, and he the smile returned.
Art thou not Life?" he asked, with eager breath.
"Not so," the angel spake; "yet thou hast earned
Through me immortal joys; 10 am Deathl"
Night hurried on. The stars of morning gray
Grew dim; and in the east pale colors played.
The bellmans spirit then had passed away
To wear the crown his life on earth had made.
And this is dying-that which man calls Death,
Not : dark and fearful shadow comes
1t is angel mild, with loving BREATH
That does Gods gentle bidding in our homes.
