CHAPTER XIII.


 EXPLORE THE HOLD AND FoREcAsTLE.
 It was pitch dark when I awoke, and conceived it must be the middle of the night; but, to my astonishment, on lighting the lantern and looking at the watch, which had taken the precaution to wind up over night, I saw it wanted but twenty minutes to eight o'clock, so that had passed through eleven hours of solid sleep. However, it was only needful to recollect where was and to cast a glance at the closed door and port, to understand why it was dark. I had slept fairly warm, and awoke with no sensation of of my breath to freeze upon my mouth in such a manner that, when feeling the sticky inconvenience put my finger to it, it fell like O little mask; and I likewise felt the pain of cold in my face to such an extent that had I been blistered there, my cheeks, nose and brow could not have smarted more This resolved me henceforward to wrap up my head and face before going to rest.
 Iopened the door and passed out, and ob- served an amazing difference between the temperature of the air in which had been sleeping and that of the atmosphere in the passage-a happy discovery, for it served to assure me that, if was careful to lie under plenty of coverings and to keep the outer air 
 the temperature of the litte cabin; nor, pro- viding the compartment was ventilated throughout the day, was there anything to be feared from the vitiation of the air by my own breathing.
 My first business was to light the fire and set my breakfast to thaw, and boil me ket- tie of water; and while this was preparing went on deck to view the weather and to re. volve in my mind the routine of the day. On opening the door of the companion hatch was nearly blinded by the glorious brilliance of the sunshine on the snow; after the black ness of the cabin it was like looking at the sun himself, and had to stand full three minutes with my hand upon my eyes before could accustom my sight to the dazzling glare. It was fine weather again; the sky over the glass like masts of the schooner was clear, dark blue, with . few light clouds blowing over 1t from tho southward The wind had shifted sS lasb; but puIe as the heav.ns wussp, the t4esgs was piping hriskl ly witb ths weGghs and song of suaaA gale,

1t is useless for housekeeper to at
tempt economy with colored servants
Their ways are naturally wasteful, and
they entertain scorn for all attempts at
thrifty management. A lady whose war
time experience had taught her that
twelve biscuits could be produced from
one pint of flour, lost several servants be-
fore she discovered that their detection was
due to disgust at her frequent enuncia-
tioD Of this theorem in domestic economy.
Let the mistress be never so close, or ever
liberal, she will be utterly unable to re-
strain the extravaganza of her servants.
When supplies are measured out it is fire.
4rently the dining room table, never that
,f the kitchen, which is stinted.
Servants out of employment time their
visits to their friends in service so as to in-
clude at least one meal hour of the family;
and the cooks husband, son or fourth
cousin usually appears during the progress
OF dinner to escort his relative home and
to assist in the transportation of any un-
usually heavy burden. A stranger trav-
ersing the streets OF New Orleans at night
fall and seeing the hundreds of homeward
bound cooks, each with her sagging basket
upon her arm, would imagine the whole
colored population to be on the way to u
picnic. They are merely, however, trans
porting what they seem to regard as their
rightful spoil of food, and wood, and coal.
The statistician has yet not risen with a
brain large enough to compute the col
lective value OF this daily universal drain.

The West Coast of Mexico.

Warm weather commences here in May,
and the heat becomes extreme during the
months of June, July and August; in
September the rains begin. A hot wind
occasionally makes its appearance, and
such is the fury of the withering blast
that it seems to scorch the skin like a
furnace. 1t comes when least expected,
and continues sometimes for four and
twenty hours. 1t is a remarkable circum-
stance that it does not extend more than
q league from the coast, seaward, and
that while it prevails fresh water depos-
tied in jars continues deliciOusly cool,
even in summer.
Fortunately for the people who live
here, the night air is not injurious, as it
is in many semi-tropical countries, for
when the warm weather is fairly begun
the inhabitants, rich and poor, are obliged
to abandon the interior of their houses
and pass the nights in the corridors and
courtyards; the poorer class lie on blankets
in the streets in front of their huts. The
purity of the atmosphere. the dryness of
the soil and the purifying effects OF the
winds which sweep over this country all
tend to make this u very salubrious
climate The enormous death rates are
attributed entirely to epidemics aggra-
waited by unhealthful sanitary conditions;
there is no sewerage and the streets are
filthy. In spite of this the longevity of
those living here is remarkable; several
are more than 100 years of age, and two
have attained, one to ia and the other TO

Tho Village. of Cuba.

Cuban villages or pr.eblos have always
interested me deeply. They are of little
Importance as we measure things. There
Is nothing about them in architecture or
human activities to make them worthy of
account. They are seldom populous and
are never busy. In them and between
them, enterprise, rivalry, aspiration, are
unknown. But on this great earth are
not other spots SO full of simplicity and
effortless rest.
There are inst enough people in them
to make human presence an agreeable
consciousness. There is never any labor
done in any way that tires. Nobody
hurries. There is no fretting or fuming
about anything. No one is supposed to
be in haste. Nor could any such notion
ever come to surprise and annoy the
mind Every animate or inauimate OBJ
ject seems at rest. If You desire to set
q Cuban village in an uproar of indignant
wonderment, you have only to hint of do
ing, or of desiring something done quick
". Even the winds that blow move in
soft and soothing breezes, eloquent of list
less dreamfulness. The birds sing in
subdued notes as if half asleep. Univer-
sal siesta rests upon everything. The
very air wings narcotic, and pulses balm,
to the sense and soul. Despite your own
contempt for Cuban inanimation, after a
little, your best efforts are overcome; you
yield to the insensible sirens of scene
and scent and sound; and the enthrall-
ment possesses you wholly.-Edgar l..
Wakeman in New York Mail and Express.

The People of shiraz.

The people of Shiraz are celebrated
throughout Persia for their gay and fes-
tive dispositions While the average
Persian, outside the nobility, is calcu-
lating, mercenary trader and trafiicker,
the Shirazi is gallant, beau, free
liver. The best soldiers in Persia are at
Shiraz, and the LOWEST women; from
Shiraz also issue hundreds of lutis or
buffoons who wander about all over the
empire, singing, tomtoming, and exhibit
ing trained monkeys.
Persepolis, believed 20 have been a
mighty city before the birth of Babylon,
and about the earliest home of pomp,
wealth and magniticence, is situated near
Shiraz. The old pagan kings and nobility
of Persepolis were royal wassailers.
Drunkenness and revelry were carried to
an extreme in the marble halls of this
ancient Iranian capital that we of to-day
little dream of. One has but to taste the
famous Cholar wine, note the curious
difference between the Shirazis and other
Persians of today, and then look up at
the old ruins of Persepolis to come to the
conclusion that the three things have
some mysterious connection.-Thomas
Stevens in New York Sun.

The Goldfish Disappearing.

In about another decade the American
and Canadian legislative bodies will not
be absorbed with arguments on the home
and habits of the festive Goldfish. He is
slowly disappearing from our coasts, and
the banks of Newfoundland which knew
him once know him no more. Fishermen
now practice deep sea fishing with very
poor results, as the cod seems to fight shy
of all bait While we consider these facts
our attention is directed to the other side
of the globe, where immense schools Of
Goldfish are reported on the west coast Of
Africa, although they have never been
heard of in that quarter before They
must have grown tired of the eternal
squabbling about their feeding grounds
and have emigrated to neutral territory.
Queer, isn't it9 About the opening of the
next century Goldfish viii be rare deli
cacy, and in 1850 or thereabouts the secret
of that delightful democratic dish known
as the Goldfish ball will only linger as q
memory in the chronicles of the cuisine.

delightful mountain breeze plays down the
canyon during the day, and the nights are
cool and inyigorating.
The above facts substantiate the asser-
ton, often made. that in this part of South
ern California one can, within q days
drive, find any temperature and surround
ings he may desire, from the snow-capped
mountain peak, through the mountain can
yon, to the comparatively warm inland val
ley; or. living In the valley, he can have,
within days drive, delightful sea bath,
and can spend his vacation at the coast.
On account Of the uniformity of climate
1t becomes a matter Of necessity to seek
change for portion Of each year, but the
expense OF the change is comparatively
small. A sojourn of two weeks here, in
Guiding the expense of coming and return
ing, will not be over ten dollars. Persons
living in the interior valleys usually spend
their vacations at the seacoast, while those
living near the coast usually repair to the
mountains. Respectfully,

the most elementary knowledge OF the

needlessly in the enjoyment of a dearly

whose ears are not similarly refined can

while not violent were destructive OF do

The something called lightning will

water in time quicker than thought. But
that heat is not in the lightning, but it is
made at that point at which the lightning
meets an obstacle. Thus from the sun
some substance or potentialIty may go
forth which is harmless traveller until
something retards it. This exile may
meet its first foe near the suns disk, and

and meet a second obstacle in the envi-
