and roar and terror, sounded ever In hIs
ears O cry, and that cry neryed him 70
effort when strength and courage failed.
The oars had been torn from his grasp.
II he had had them they would have been
useless. Alone in a little boat on the
angry sea he set himself to the task-no
easy or certain one-Of keeping the dory
stioat and right side up. Tying himself
with loose rope that was aboard so that
he could not be tossed out he bailed for
dear life. IL was all he could do All
that terrible night, driven he knew not
where-drenched with every wave
tossed Fl ON billOw to billow-he endured
and bailed
The thick darkness gave no sign Of
rock or shore, the bowling wind drowned
all roar Of breakers; he might be rushing
to sudden death or he might be flying out
to sea, to toss for days Of misery out Of
the track of ships, at last to die a linger-
ing death of starvation and exposure.
But that agOniZed cry of girlish voice
still rang in his ears, and still he bailed,
and still the waves washed in-and still
he bailed.
The blackest night ends at last in
morning, and to the involuntary vOyager
the sun came up, and the wind went
down, and there before him the early sun
light was gliding the steepIes Of his native
town of York, on the coast Of Maine.
Dan Kicker, drenched and haggard,
walked into his fathers house in time
for breakfast.
Hungry
The Kicker family just stood around,
with open and empty mouths, while the
mother piled Dams plate again and
again. The home folks devOured his tale
that day, and Dan made away with the
breakfast.
This world fares on in prOsaic fashion
after all, and people must go the way of
the world. The morning train rolling
through York took up Dan, dressed in dry
clothes and showing no signs of his terri
BILE experience, and dropped him at the
station in Portsmouth. The steamer
AppledOre going out on the morning trip
with the daily crowd Of excursiOnists
landed him at Star by dinner time
Somehow real life is not so romantic as
the story teller would have US to believe.
1t would be more artistic to overturn
the dOry, and break Nabby's heart, and
depict a heartrending scene when a
CHASTITY corpse WAS washed upon the
beach. There were two strong objections
to such a fms. Sunburnt Nabby, strong
and 1.-the, was far too tough to kill
easily, and strange as it may seem, the
true ending really pleased her.
She was very well satisfied when Dan
strobe into her fathers cottage followed
by half the astOnished villagers, who well
coined him as one risen from the bottom
Of the sea.
| And Dan appeared to be satisfied too
it sounded as if he was.-Annis Wayne

A Novel Fly Theory.

Flies are scavengers, and only enter, at
least take up their abode in, dwellings from
which the sunlight and air are wholly or
largely barred out Even screens are objec-
tonable, for it is impossible for air TO enter as
freely as through a wide-open window; be-
sides, the creatures will get in by hook or
crook, and wnen they have endured the
stuffy indoor air as long as they can with
due regard for their health(D and sigh for
the pure atmosphere without, they are kept
in by the screens, to which they cling and do
their best TO obtain fresh air by breathing
with their noses through the meshes, while
the human Inmates, starving and poisoning,
growing weak and predisposed to sickness,
are content with the devitalized air as their
only respiratory food, like drinking from q
stagnant pool.
The truth is that the sunlight and fresh
air, if allowed the freeSt entrance to any
home, will shortly leave nothing for the flies
to do, and these little friends will simply
make occasional excursions, singly or in
pairs, to inspect the premises, not resting
even to disfigure the paint: while the main
body of the army will make their too often
unsuccessful fight against diphtheritic virus
in the homes whose indwellers restrict them
selves to quarter rations o. oxygen and prefer
darkness rather than light.
Sufferers from headache, sleepiness, lassi-
tude, or other of the ordinary slight all
ments" that, however. so often develop into
serious and even fatal sickness) may be
certain that their troubles arise largely, il
not chiefly, from the wrong conditions indi-
Gated in the foregoing.
The writer happens to know Of a few, a
very few inhabited dwellings, where visitors
remark upon the almost entire absence of
flies, and appear perplexed to account for it,
seeing no means for their exclusion In
those homes the ever wide-open windows are
never blinded, the shades are run up out Of
sight, and never a screen detains the fly
police when they have concluded their round
of inspection DIR. c. i. Page

prevalent
The maps ars from sketches given in an

is q curious fact. too, that forty Years ago
the sickness now called malaria was unknown.
There was the old-faShiOned fover aad ague,

In Martin Chuzzlswit" But that was differ

Moreover, malaria l. fatally prevalent in
localities where tho ague was unknown.

The Nocturnal Sausage Man.
"Lots Of mustards''


1t was a sausage vender. He thrust
the fork into one Of those mosaic oblongs
so dear to the heart of the free lunch
fiend, held it dripping for moment over
the hot water apartment in which it had
been floating, and buried it between two
crusts.
The midnight banqueter held forth q
nickel, took the morsel which was to stay
him over till breakfast, and went on his
way.
The sausage man is purely nocturnal
character. No better test can be put to
young men and women whose hours on
the street are questionable than to ask
them il they have ever seen one of these
bearers of huge tin tank, hung about
the neck, who stand motionless under the
lamplights of the principal streets-mute
invitations - newspaper men, police
men, providers, owls any and all,
whose business, good or bad, keeps them
in the streets when most honest people
are in bed. The sausage man rarely ap-
pears before IL o'clock and he never solic-
its customers. He stays till far in the
morning and his customers are usually
regulars"
''SOme people ask me why customers
don't go to saloons for sausage" said
one on Wall street the other night. "a
good many are in too much of hurry to
get home. l can hear my regulars
whistle a block away, and they find a
sandwich all ready for them. Some are
temperance men and won't go into sa-
looms, and they get better sausage Of
me. Pr -adelphia Press

The Pope's Proposed improvements.

At recent papal reception at the vati-
can, Leo XIII informed his visitors that
he purpOsed continuing the improve
ments at the Lateran Basilica by restor-
ing the ancient portico near the Sacristy,
known as the Porticus Lateranensis, and
he charged the architect, Vespignani,
to follow most carefully the original
lines in executing the work. The pope
added that he hoped at n future time
the ceiling of the Basilica would be re-
stored to its original form. He also an
nounced that on the anniversary of the
dedication of the Basilica, the two splen-
did organs which are being built for it
will be used for the first time. They
contain 70 stops and 4,56S pipes. One
will have three manuals, the other two.
The space each will occupy will be SO feet
frontage by 30 feet 10 inches in height,
and the same in depth.-Chicago Herald.

Ed. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. there are no a.es-
tons engaging the attention, or occupying
the thoughts of the pnblic mind, upon
which the people need more instruction
than the two at the head of this communi-
cation. The first remark the writer would
make respecting them, il, to say the least,
they are improper, out Of place, and wholly
uncalled for. II Is all item of information
of no value to the enquirer to know the re-
spactfve ages of A., B. or G. Thenw why want
to know? The question, show old are yous
or what is your agegs Is impertinent, impe-
lite and shows want or lack of correct
and gen eel training. The writer presumes
there arc but few who are ashamed OF their
age. Mr.. Editor, have you not often bera
annoyed when the wonld-be wiseacre asSs
with an air Of diyaffed importance, &How
old are yous ar, what is your ageg" Have
you ra.. when thus Intercepted, felt like
answering. sit is none of your business" OF.
coming down to q milder term and saying,
"what good will it do you 10 know"
The writer, hs obser, alton, has found that
there Is a. particular class that cannot hold n
conversation with others hat they must
know, before the intercourse ends, how old
they are! or. what are their ages. 1t has
been found that these belong to that class
who have not had the advantages Of. heinz
trained according TO the rules of politeness.
The writer, mas loug since made it n rpts,
not TO ask any one, old or young, What 10
your age! or, How old are you? For, first.
II II none of his business Cd. beea,,se hs.
does not wish To mortify their feelings. And
lastly, that he may not lay the temptation
he1ore them TO prevarieate. He has no
doubt, but that, when the fmpolite question
Is asked, How old are you or. what IL vour
age! that in nine cases ont of ten. the cor.
