A Ships Historic Chronometer.

On the desk of Edison c. Brace, chief clerk
of the bureau of equipment and recruiting in
the navy department, is a little rosewood
case bound and inlaid with brass and bronze
1t is in the form of cube, about eighteen
inches high, and contains chronometer such
as are used on all naval vessels This little
instrument has quite tragic history and is
held of considerable value 1t was the ships
chronometer of the unfortunate Polaris, that
was sent out on an Arctic expedition by the
navy department in 1871 When the Polaris
was nipped in the ice Capt. Hall saved this
instrument and some other things from the
vessel. As long as Capt. Hall survived he
kept the chronometer with him. When he
persisted it was buried in the Arctic SHOWS
and abandoned. This was some time in 1872.
For four winters it lay buried in snow and
ice In 1876 Capt. Mares, of the British
navy, now Sir George Mares, then in com
niand of the last royal expedition to the
Arctic regions, discovered this chronometer
at Newman's bay. He dug it out of the
snow and took it to England with him on his
return. 1t had then been buried in the snow
for four years in region where the Their
mo1neter sinks to 104 degrees below freezing
point 1t was found to be in perfect order
and was wound and ran all right as soon as
taken from its cold bed. On returning tc
England Capt Mares turned the instrument
over to the British admiralty office, from
where it was sent as present to this gov
eminent. With all this experience it loses
only a single second in twentyfour hours

A Smart Roy.

Sometimes children are wise beyond their
years. Up on one of the South Side avenues
is lady who is the mother of a bright
youngster aged years This youngster of
hers has annoyed her greatly by running
away, during the day, to the house of a
neighbor about block away and hiding him
self there until some one is sent after him.
Rather than be annoyed in hunting after him
his mother called on the lady who owned the
children in the next block, and came to an
understanding with her. "NNhen | am will
ing that George should call on your chill
dren,n she said II will write note to that
effect and pin it on his arm. In the note
will state what time 1 want him sent home,
and you can act accordingly" Well, the
other lady agreed to this plan. A day or SO
later the youngster appeared at her house
with a note pinned on his arm. She thought
it was all right, and she allowed him to play
with her children until she thought it time to
look and see when he was to be sent home.
| When she unfolded the paper she saw moth
| ing but lot of scribbling, and she asked
| the youngster what it meant. 'Well," ne
said, "my mamma was asleep when | wanted
| to come up here, so I wrote the note myself i
| The lady was dumfounded. The wise young
| ster had seen his mother write the notes
! which gave him his freedom, SO he thought
as she was asleep when he wanted to go, that
| he might as well write note himself rather
| than disturb her. That boy will never get
left.-Chicago Herald.

Irish Coast Poverty.

Beside fishing up herring and hake the poor
people at the head of Bantry bay fish up sand.
Sand raising, as it is called, is as important
an industry as catching fish. This kind of
sand, known sometimes as coral sand, is used
for farm manure and costs from eight to nine
shillings boat load-a poor price consider
ing the toilsome character of the work and
cost of the boats required to carry it on. A
sand boat costs e35 when new and 60 a year
in repair. The utmost a boat owner OF part
ner can do in a days work is to bring to
shore two boatloads. The proceeds have to
be divided among number of workers. while
the working season lasts for a portion of the
year only.
In spite of all their lifelong labor from
morning to night in winter and summer, and
in calm and in storm, these crofter fishermen
are in state of chronic poverty. They do
not live by their scrapIay patches of holdings
They earn with difficulty from the sea barely
enough to buy sleeping room and a foothold
on the land.
They even do more than that; they partly
create, with the help of the sea, the very
soil for which they pay rent The deposit
which they call coral sand they have used to
reclaim these shores of rock and bog. They
have used the sea weed for the same purpose,
cutting it up from the deep water with a
primitive machine, which may be described
as a marine scythe, and the seaweed has to
be paid for, if not as a separate item, then
as included in the holding. Coral sand, sea-
weed, the refuse of house and pig sty, and
basket loads of soil found among the bowl
ders, these are the ingredients out of which,
after years of work, the crofter fishermen
have produced the tiny green patches which
dot innumerably the rocky shores and the
gray brown sides of the sterile but incom-
parably picturesque mountains that surround
Glengraif the beautiful.
And the dwellings of these hard working
peoplel They are more fit for the pigs that
go granting and shouting in and out of them
than they are for beings created in the image
Of God A dry stone box with earthen floor
and without windows, two or three recesses
stuffed with straw for beds and the whole
filed with peat reelz, such is the ordinary
type of house where a fisherman and his wife
live with half dozen or more children In
one such house which [ visited there were
seven children.-London Daily News.

A Dutch Dairy.

A young farmer came down and invited
me and my frouw to go and see the butter
and cheese making at his farm. We did so,
finding the house to be of the usual type. The
dixie surrounding the premises stank most
flightfully, and its filth was in extreme con
trast to the neatness and cleanliness of the
house, outbuildings and utensils of the farm
We duly saw the round cheeses nodded and
made and the butter pressed, and then entered
the COW byres which at this time of the year
were empty, the cattle being in the fields
They occupied one side of the square house
and had no ceiling, the whole of the space
above the height of the walls and under the
great pyramidal roof being empty and open,
only the living rooms being ceiied off from it.
The byres were beautifully clean and bright
with paint and varnish, colored oil cloths be,
ing laid all along where the sterns of the
COWS would overhang, and the stalls deeply
foored with loose sea shells. Rings in over
head beams marked the places where the
cows tails were tied up at milking time out
of the way. The farmer pointed with pride
to several swallows nests under the low
beams, and underneath each nest was placed
a fiat shell to prevent the droppings of the
birds soiling the floor below. In the garden
we saw rabbits in doyecot perched on the
top of a tall pole, and doves in rabbit hutches
close to the ground, and some beautiful phea
SAINTS, and then we took closer photograph
OF the stork's nest. The old bird was very
suspicious OF our camera and made her young
ones lie close in The nest.-Blackwood' Mag

Russian Superstition.

The Russians were the last European race
to be converted to Christianity, and are still
within a distance of heathenism that is easily
measurable 1t is, therefore. little to be won
dered at that number of singular supersti
sions should still survive among the peas
antry rather like those prevailing in France
and England during the Middle Ages The
Russian journals are not much read in thii
country, but if they We're more within the
linguistic resources of English readers eager
after novelties they would be much aston
ished at not a few items of news reported
Had newspapers been published in A. D. 140(
in London, they would, we fancy, have FIRE
quently chroniced similar events to those we
find recorded in the columns of the Russian
press today. Since the time of Dndalu
flying men have been objects of suspicion
and we should certainly advise aeronauts tt
hesitate before making an ascent in Russia.
Not many years ago Russian noblemaI
made a balloon ascent and had the misfortune
to come down somewhere in the Baltic prov
inces, where not even a picture of balloon
had penetrated. There was, of course, thu
chance of his being mistaken for messenger
of the gods and honored in consequence, BIZ
the peasants who inhabited the district where
he allSnteu were apEJtaie utly NlcIllllS VI pes
simism and concluded he was the devil de
scended from the sky to prosecute them
They did not stay to wonder what the evi
one was doing SO far away from his usua
habitat, which is supposed to be remote from
the clouds; but in state of mixed theologit
and scientific ignorance the panic stricken
mob tore the aeronaut to pieces. If q similar
descent could have been made into Yorkshire
400 years ago the aeronaut might have me
with a similar fate or have been regarded a
messenger announcing the divine wratl
and the final dissolution of all things-a panic
to which the English people has been pecu
liarly liable. This superstitious terror abou
balloons, however, is an amiable weakness
when compared with some others. 1t wa
only week or two ago that the Russian
newspapers related how a peasant had, will
the approval of his neighbors, murdered hi
aged aunt because he believed her to be {
witch.-Nottingham Express.
