cred a. boat he called out that he would
split the head OF the first man who at
tempted to board the schooner. Our first
mate, the boatswain. and two Of us fore
mast hands went in the boat with Mrs.
Thomas, aud rs we hooked on TO the
schooner's chains the boatswain pulled a
revolver and climbed in over the bows.
The mutineer retreated aft, aud then we
all boarded. The woman had not spoken
a word since leaving the ship She was
pale as death. and her eyes glared like a
tigers. As she dropped from the rail to
the deck she cooked the weapon in her
hand, walked aft aud right up to the
mate, and as he fourished his cutlass and
commanded her to keep of, she shot him
dead IN his tracks.
"It's the law Of the sea-" she quietly
remarked, as she turned to us. "Now to
rout out those Lascarsp'
'But you won't kill theml' said our
mate.
"No, not quite !" was her grim answer,
as she handed him the smoking revol-
yer.
Casting look at the dead mutineer,
to be sure that he was dead, she went
forward, took Delaying pin out of the
port rail and, approaching the hatch,
she called down:
''On deck here, every man OF you, and
be quick about it'll"
They came up one after the other, and
as each man touched the deck she gave
him crack over the head which made
him see stars. They went down on their
knees and begged for their lives, and
after knocking them about in a liberal
way she finally agreed to extend pardon.
Under her direction the mates body was
searched, and, as she had anticipated, all
the money aboard the schooner was
found. She then ordered the body flung

one of the biggest white sharks / ever
saw sci ed it an ! bit it in half. While
the Lascars were cleaning the deck the
little woman ran down into her cabin
and brought up do en- bottles OF wine,
six boxes of cigars and a lot of dried
fruits for us to take back to the ship.
Then she gave each of us q shake of the
hand, and as we entered the yawl she
sprang upon the port rail, held fast to
the main shrouds with one hand, and
shouted to our Cap. ain:
"Good-by and God bless you, Capt
Wheeler Eve got my craft back, thanks
to you, and I'll keep my eyes open aftel
this"
Then she jumped down and went tc
the wheel and gave orders to get thu

Use No Sugar On Oatmeal.

''Be careful how you eat oatmeal"
said doctor recently to a reporter for
the New York Mil and Express. "Oat-
meal is a very heathful food if taken
properly. No food Is healthy If inn
properly used. >
''How should it be eatenf'
''lf oatmeal is eaten in excess Of the
needs of the body for proper nutrition it
overloads and taxes the system. 1t must
not be eaten partially cooked. Flour.

half cooked II an excess Of sugar or
other sweets is used it will disagree with
many people, causing indigestion If
eaten with an excess Of cream it will not
be healthy for some persons whose
stomachs are too delicate TO stand rich
food. Oatmeal is a healthy food when
not used for oyer-feeding, when suf-
ficiently cooked and when not used with
an excess Of cream OF sweets. Oatmeal
sLsuld be eaten without any sweets,
using a little milk or cream, a little but

SONG.


There is ever song somewhere, my d
There is ever n something sings alive
There's tho song of the lark when the skies
are clear,
And the song Of the thrush when the skies
are gray.
The sunshine showers across the grain,
And the bluebird trils in the orchard tree;
And in and out, when the caves drip rain,
The swallows are twittering ceaselessly.
There is ever a song somewhere, my dear,
In the midnight black or the midday blue;
The robin pipes when the sun is here,
And the cricket chirrups the whole night
through.
The buds may blow and the fruit may grow,
And the autumn leaves drop crisp and
sore;
But whether the sun, or the rain, or the
snow,
There is ever a song somewhere, my dear.

Valuable Coins and Coin Collectors.

Said a noted coin collector recently, in
conversation with New York San re.
porter: "Go you know that, strange as
it may seem, the oldest coins are not the
rarest, and are the least in demand by
numismaticians"
The reporter was not aware of the fact,
and inquired why such was the case.
"The vagaries and caprices of the col
lector cannot be explained" replied the
connoisseur. "Why man should prefer
the scarce American dollar of 1901 at
500 (which is the market value of a
good specimen), to the beautiful Hgina
coin, the oldest and most artistic pro-
duct of the Greek mint. fine copy of
which may be had for 81, is as difficult a
question to answer as why the handsome
and talented Montague B own married
the unprepossessing Miss Dobbs.
"There is always lively demand for
the scarcest coins" continued the col
lector, "and it seldom concerns the en-
thusiast whether they are beautiful or
not. 1t is well nigh impossible to begin
now and make a complete collection of
our American coins TO doit one would
have to possess, beside a knowledge of
American numismaties, the patience Of
Job and purse as long as Vanderbilt.
The colon al coins alone are worth a
small fortune. Fabulous prices are paid
for good specimens of early American
coinage. The Pine Tree shilling is worth
from $40 TO 500, and in later times there
is the Washington half dollar. valued to-
day at $50. The dollar of 1894 has
brought as much as 500 at an auction
sale. The half cent of 1896 is difficult TO
get at SIS, while the half dollar of the
same date readily sells at $50. The
rarest, however, Of all the small pieces, is
the half dime of 1902, which recently
sold for $60n
'Where do all the old coins go tot"
queried the reporter.
$50 the same place that pins and but
tons do, wherever that may be, y replied
the collector. "Of course, all unique
copies and the finest specimens sooner
or later find their way into public or
private collections, or the hands of the
dealers. Ths largest and finest collec-
tions are owned by DR.. Charles Z. West,
Alexander Balmano, r. II. Lawrence,
Robert Hobart Smith, and CASTOR l..
FeuaIdent, of New York. The finest
collection in the world is that of the
British Museum in London.

"Well, just about the tenth part Of a

Market porter recently died from blood

He found that fresh killed turkeys had

horn to a dusky brown color. He in.

kere requisitioned in every market. The

Dat it deceived experienced cooks and

A SONG OF MAYTiME.

As fades the night with morning light,
So winter creeps away;
And in his place with sunny face
There shines the sun Of May.
From over all the cloudy pail
OF chill and darkness drear
Is quick removed, and spring is proved
Her warmth and light are here,
From out the South with perfumed mouth
The summer whispers, "Herer
And sweet and low the bree1es blow
As soft she treadeth near.
Day after day the sky is gay
With tender tints Of blue;
On airy wings the robin sings,
And wooi-birds call and coo.
Within our hearts, too, life imparts
A gentle throb and thrill
And bitter strife no longer rife,
Peace, Love, our bosoms fill

The Public School System.
carthage Blade. !

This is a subject which we consider
thoroughly ripe for discussion, and one
which we have for some time been in
tending to touch upon. And 10 bet
ter time has ever been presented for
bringing this matter before the public
than noW-the eve Of 4 session Of the
Legislature.
Our school system since the war has
attained gigantic proportions. The
fund has grown from nothing in 1876
TO more than 5000. 900 in 1887. This
immense sum of money is apportioned
according to school population among
all the children of the State, both
white and black, equally. But our
main purpose is to show who bears the
burden Of this tax. OF the 5000, 900
collected last year, The whites paid
about $3.50, 900 of it, while the he
grocs paid only about $4,000 and
yet they derive as much if not more
benefit from it than the whites. IS
this right; is it just? We ask every
white tax payer. Most certainly not !;
it is an outrageous imposition upon
the white people Of the State, and we
raise our protest against a further con-
tinuance of it. We ask is il light fer
Us to be forced to educate a lot of
savages," as Judge Russell calls them,
when they are our bitterest foes F? We
get no thanks for this magnificent gift
to them. On the other hand, they,
in every election, solidly array them
selves against the white man and his
best and dearest interests. This shows
how much they love us. They don't
know the meaning of the word graft
tude. But we do not mean that we
oppose the negroes being educated.
We desire that they all be educated if
it will tend to elevate them and better
their condition, but in as much as
they work and vote antagoniStic to us,
we say let them pay for their own ed
ucatior. This is but right, but oil

Tie Lesson of the Blizzard.

There is, as it seems to US, one lesson
to be drawn from all this horrible expert
ence, and that is the folly Of settling in a
wild country, especially on bleak plains,
however cheap the land may be, without
assured means of providing decent shell
ter, fuel and provisions for more than the
immediate future. The representations
of land agents and other considerations
have induced many to take up western
lands without means, on the chance that
the success Of the first crop would enable
them to provide adequately for their
families. This is gambling in human
life.
Some ten years ago there was phe-
nomenl wheat crop in Kansas, and the
next season thousands of Immigrants
poured III, almost destitute, hoping for
an immediate return from wheat. Many
burrowed in dugouts on dry land, where
the lack of water predestined them to
failure. The crop of that year failed.
The immigrants found themselves likely
to freeze and starve on the prairies, and
they were finally rescued by charitable
Intervention. A few weeks since there
was n scarcity of coal in Kansas and Ne
braska, and those who were compelled to
live from hand to mouth suffered severely
The chances of bad crops and trying
weather should be clearly understood by
those who mediate settlement upon rail-
road or government land in the north
west and they should be able to provide
against contingencies which are usually
underestimate by persons interested 81

Turkish and Russian BATHS.

4 Turkish or Russian bath is cleansing
and healthy and one Of the best means
for improving the complexion and soft
ening the skin. New York women have
become very fond Of these baths, and
many Of them take at least one bath
every week throughout the year, COM
ing up to town from a neighborins resort
during the summer. There is no more
delightful way Of getting rid of the hot
test hours Of the day than to pass them
in a Russian bath. Some women battle
to get fat, and some to get thin, and
they all succeed in attaining their object.
After the bath, many are rubbed with
vaseline in preference to alcohol, OF with
sweet oil, that being the most fashion
able ungent at present. 1t is the correct
thing to use On the face at night, after
having bathed it in very hot water, as
the surest destroyer of wrinkles. And
those who care for neither vaseline nor
oil take their own perfumes to the bath.
and are rubbed down with them.-The
