IC E BOU N D .

 loO. The Lady Maud Etc.
 then went on to relate that the Boca was rich ship; that, as she had been a pirate, risked her seizure by carrying her to London: that stood grievously in need of his counsel and help, and begged him not to lose a moment in returning with the messenger to Deal, and there hiring boat and coming to me, whom he would find cruising off Beachy Head. That I might know his boat, bade him fly a jack little below the masthead. ''As for the Boca del Dragon" I added, "Wilkinson would know her if she were ill the middle of thousand sail, and indeed a farmers boy would be able to distinguish her for her uncommon oddness of figure" Twas satisfied to underscore the words "a rich ship" quite certain his imagination would be sufficiently fired by the expression. At anything further durst not hint, as the letter would be open for Wilkinson to read.
 When had finished took Q lantern and the keys of the chest and went very secretly and expeditiously to the run, and, removing the layers of small arms from the top of the case that held the money, picked out some English pieces, quickly returned the small arms, locked the chest, and returned.
 All this time we were running up channel before a fresh westerly wind. 1t was true December weather, very raw, and the horizon thick; but I knew my road well, and while the loom of the land showed desired nothing better than this thickness
 But wary sailing delayed us, and it was not till 10 o'clock on the night of the 7th that we hove the schooner to off the shingly beach of Lydd, within sound of the wash of the sea upon it. The bay sheltered us; we got the boat over. l gave Wilkinson the letter and ten guineas, bidding him keep them hidden, and to use them cautiously, with the silver change he would receive, for they were all guineas of the first George, and might excite comment if he, a poor sailer, ill clad, should pull them out and exhibit them. Happily, in the hurry of the time, he did not think to ask me how had come by them. He thrust them into his pocket, shook my hand and dropped into the boat, and the negroes immediately rowed him ashore.
 I stood holding lantern upon the rail to serve them as a guide, waiting for tho boat to return, and never breathed more freely in my life than when heard the sound of oars The two negroes came alongside, and, clap ping the tackles OH to the boat, we hoisted her with the caIstan, and then, under very small canvas, stood out to sea again.

Professor and Polanders.

Once upon time a Harvard professor, while walking on @ highway near Boston, halted to look at gang of laborers plying their picks and shovels in repairing rail- road. He pricked up his ears when he heard the gang jabbering Latin like old Romans. He introduced himself in the same tongue, when he found that the gang were Polanders, graduates of the University of Warsaw, who, having found out that they were about to be arrested by the Russian authorities on the charge of conspiracy against the czar, fled to this country, where, being in a penniless state, they were glad to get employment as laborers on the railroad. The Harvard pro lessor interested himself in the cases of sev- eral of the laborers, to their advantage, and even found professors chair for blue blooded member of the gang. The incident was narrated the other day, when reporter told of interviewing group of three street payers uptown, every one of whom was able to converse with him in five modern lan- guages Their wages are nominally 8 a day, but they are laid off so often that they can not average more than $8 a week.

Salary Paid a Chef.

The price that it has been averred Joseph demanded of Mir. Vanderbilt, ss,0O0 a year is preposterous. If Joseph were a reality such salary for a ckef in a private house especially house like Mir. Vanderbilt's where there are few grand dinners, would be ridiculous. Probably the sum was francs and not dollars, whi :h would be on a pal with the salary Mir. Vanderbilt has paid be fore for the same services.
 There are few cooks in private houses ir New York who receive more than SOO( francs, but not many. The chef at Desnaoni co.'s has long been credited with $, 900, but his work is tenfold that of a private cook He has a score of cooks to manage-Nev York Cor. Chicago Herald.

Not Contented, but Aspiring.

"Contentment is better than riches" That sounds like the despairing vail of a disap- pointed man. It is patent medicine, in- tended for those who have tried for success and have failed. It is warranted to have the same soothing effect that the conclusion about the grapes had on the fox. If taken in sufficiently large doses it will make a man a helpless nonentity. It is narcotic that does more harm than good. It puts to sleep the contentment is satisfied laziness. Those who better themselves and get the grapes do not think they are sour. A true man is not necessarily discontented, but he is ever as- piring He would do more-be more-get more He does not care for absolute con- tentment The utmost he will admit is that contentment, with riches, is better than without them.-Walter Gregory in North American Review.

New Method of Sinking Shafts.

The old method of sinking wells or shafts bv a wooden crib surmounted by masonry walls is superseded of late in Belgium by the use of hollow cylindrical sections of cement tubing of the required diameter, smooth ex- formally, with inside collars jointed with liquid cement. As the excavation proceeds, sections of the tubing are added at the top until the required depth is obtained, when the opening is closed with cement slab, having manhole in tho center. Chicago Times.

Savings of the Chinese.

The Chinese in California do not de-
post their savings in our banks, but
leave their surplus earnings with some
storekeeper for safety until they are
ready to send the money to China. The
storekeeper does not pay the depositor
any interest," on the contrary, he charges
him small sum for taking care of the
money. The result is some of the prin-
cipal merchants in San Francisco have a
large amount of money in their hands
all the time. The danger of being robbed
is very slight as all the employees and
attaches of the store sleep there, and
there is no time, day or night, but what
some one is awake and moving about.
The money is generally kept in fire
proof safe or vault.-San Francisco Cor.

DIR. Brown Sequard, who has been
preaching that bad ventilation of sleeping
rooms and poor and monotonous food are
the great causes of pithisis, treated of
that disease at the last meeting of the
Academy of Sciences, in Paris, taking
many of his examples from England.
Wherever population is dense, and sleep
ing rooms ill aired or overcrowded, con-
sumption prevails. DIR. Bailey reported
that in Milbank prison there were, out of
100 deaths, forty-five from this disease.
According to the illustrious French
doctor, room in which consumptive
person sleeps is reeking with contagious
germs if the air he exhales is not carried
off. But how get rid of it in ill built
houses or very cold weather. when it il
as dangerous to open windows as to keep
them shut?
To meet this difficulty DR.. Brown Sc
guard showed the academy an apparatus
of his invention. A reversed funnel, the
shape of a lamp shade, is placed at the
end of tube, so arranged in its curves
and angles that when it is placed beside
bed the reversed funnel will be above
the sleeper, and draw up the air he
breathes. The other end runs into the
chimney of the room. If there is none
it is taken through a heating apparatus
to an air hole. The heat is great enough
to burn the disease germs. -London

In all that has been written about the
uses to which the forthcoming Edison
practical photograph, nothing has been
said of the facilities it will give people
who can neither read nor write for cor
respondence. Indeed, there is no doubt
but there will be an immense demand on
the wonderful powers of the instrument
from this class. The instruments into
which books have been read will also
repeat them to the blind, and those thus
afflicted can have the choicest treasures
of the Libraries of the world at their
service day or night.
The invalid, too, whose friends are
away or busy or asleep can have his
faithful reader always at command. But
all these things are not pertinent to this
railway world" The thought that sug-
gested the paragraph is this What a
valuable thing monograph would be on
rapidly moving train during a long
journey. 1t is hard on the eyes of many
to read in travelling, or at night the light
is insufficient or the car is darkened for
sleeping. The restless passenger may
have his faithful monograph in his BERTH
and with the earphone adjusted can listen
to its sweet voice at will, without dis
turbing anybody. Then, too, all know
the difficulty of writing on a train. This
will now be overcome. Not only for
business correspondence may it be used,
but an authors best thoughts often come
to him amid the waits or among the in
spring scenes of a long journey. These
may be faithfully recorded. Cincinnati

Fortunes of the Rothschilds.

1t would seem that the fortune of the
Rothschild dynasty is getting scattered by
the recent marriages of the young people.
Now it is Mile. Aline who marries Sas-
soon; the other day it was her elder sister
who married NJ. Lambert, of Brussels,
and her cousin. Mile. Helene, who mar
ried Dutch diplomat, Baron Won Zuylen;
not long ago a Mile. de Rothschild be-
came Princess de Wagram, another
Duchesse de Gramont, another simple
Nine. Ephrussi and another Lady Rose
berry. Tradition says that the old Baron
James left fortune of $50, 900, 900 francs,
which was divided among his children,
four sons and a daughter, the Baroness
Nathaniel. Thus each inherited us, O00,-
900 francs which have doubtless increased
and multiplied. Argonaut.

An Astronomer In Command.

Gen. Mitchell was at this time SO years
old. He was of an extremely why
frame, and was possessed of wonderful
endurance. His hair had lately grown
gray, which made him look older than he
really was. He was accustomed to ride
a horse whose gait was pace. On this
horse he was all over the camps at all
hours of the night and day. The guards
were never certain of his coming. The
men soon learned of his previous occupa-
ton. and called him "Old Stars"
sentinel who had been repeatedly visited
while on duty once remarked that he
''never could look up without seeing
old Stars coming along on his screw
propeller. Life of o. NJ. Mitchell, AS

1t is rare accomplishment in man or
woman to be able gracefully to make
compliments. The difficulty lies in the
fact that honest praise or approval always
loses by being "a little coaxed or petted. "
The briefest expression which bears the
air of sincerity is better than the most
elaborate effusion and profusion of COM
plimentary phrases, which ''by daily use
have almost lost their sense" One need
not be rude to be true; but if, on the
other hand, he is too ELUSIVE he forfeits
his best claim to credit. Philadelphia

GENERAL LESSONS.

1, Had Jesus been condemned by the coun-
Gil for heresy, he would, like Stephen, have
been stoned But it was written OF him that
he should hang on the tree as the bearer of
our sin, and thus become curse in our stead
And so he quietly withdrew from the power
of his enemies until the time when the chief
priests should deliver him to the Gentiles, and
he be adjudged to the cross
2. Love always makes the sufferings OF the
loved one its own. This Canaanitish womans
PRAYER was, Lord, help me- while it was
her daughter that needed help. Yet did not
she feel that daughters sufferings more keen
ly than that daughter herseffi Even SO the
Lord Jesus in his glory, felt as done TO him
self, the persecution which Saul was direct
ing against his people. Hemakes their cause
his own.
