He Saved the Ship.

he came up from below, pale with fear,
1.-The water is gaining on US. We must
tighten the ship!'
With the presence of mind that dis
tinguishes the true hero from the
craven in the hour of peril the Captain
instantly called all hands on deck.
Men" he said. and his deep voice
rang out clear and strong over the
wild waste of waters that threatened to
engulf the stately vessel, throw those
things overboardr'
The sailors went to work with the
energy of despair. In less than an
hour they had thrown over the side
of the vessel the private baggage
of a travelling actress and three
fashionable canes belonging to Lon
don dude, and the gallant ship. with
her leak now high above water.

surprise they OF one accord demanded
of the judge instructions as to how
they should deal with the man who
had SO fagrantly violated the rules of
lynch law. 1t looked as if the old man
had saved Daily from death by strang-
ling only to meet that fate himself.
The judge turned to the veteran noun
taineer, who had Strengthened up in
the saddle, his eyes flashing, his rife
across his arm and his hands on his
pistols.
"'Old man. said the judge, with
ominous kindness by what authority
did you commit that deed?"

The old mans style and words
were impressive. There was silence
among the regulators for a moment.
Then prominent citizen, one of their
number, said:
1.-The old mans right, Judge. Let's

"And they did go home and quietly.
1t may be that the regulators let up on
the heroic old man because they
thought he was right, but the general
impression was that they didn't like
the way he showed them how he could
handle his shooting-irons. Jim Daily's

it at what is now Butte City. His

avenge his death never came true.

General Lee and stimulants.

From an anecdotal and personal ar
ticle on General Lee After the War"
by Mrs. Margaret j. Preston in the
Century we quote the following: He
had the gentlest way possible of giving
counsel and administering rebuke.
remember hearing him say, in pres
ence where such testimony was worth
more than dozen temperance lectures:
Men need no stimulant; it is some-
thing, am persuaded, that they can
do without. When | went into the
field, at the beginning of the war, a
good lady friend of mine gave me two
sealed bottles of very superb French
brandy. l carried them with me
through the entire campaign; and
when 1 met my friend again, after
all was over, I gave her back both
bottles of brandy. with the seals un-
broken. It may have been some COM
fort to me to know that l had them in
case of sudden emergency, but the mo-
ment never came when 1 needed to use
them.'n

FAMOUS LAWYER
He WrOte Very Great Book and Very
Contemplate One.

He Wrote Very Great Book and Very
Contemplate One.
Simon Greenleaf, the famous law pro-
lessor at Cambridge, and author of the
best treatise on evidence ever written,
was native of New Gloucester, Me.
OF poor but respectable parentage, his
early advantages were extremely linn
tied. He contrived to study law, and
commenced practice in Gray, little
town about twenty miles north Of Port
land. He was so poor as to be once
arrested for debt. Heremoved to Port
land, where he made such favorable
impression that he was appointed re-
porter of decisions after Maine became
State, and acquired fine reputation.
His business was large, and he stood
among the first when he was invited
through the influence of Judge Story
to become Royal professor OF law at
Cambridge, where he soon acquired q
national reputation. The treaties on
evidence was written here. He also
wrote a work in defense Of the gospels,
which was failure, inasmueh as the
attempt was made to support the testi-
mony of the evangelists by the rules
of evidence administered in courts OF
justice. No genius or learning could
make success Of a work on this basis.
The gospels are true; but the evidence
is of far higher kind than that ad-
ministered in courts of justice, although
lawyers sometimes affect to be very
wise, and talk in watery way on this
subject. Their efforts in this direction
do not strengthen the evidences, and
sometimes tend to throw q doubt over
what is clear enough when seer from
another and proper standpoint. Judge
M etcalf, stIrdy believer of the old
sort, was not deceived BY this sort Of
thing. and pronounced the work Of Mr..
Greenleaf 8 the meanest book ever
written by white man, Boston Bee.

1t has been proved that in hot cli-
mates the preparation of wood with
sulphate of copper or with creosote
adds little to its durability.
In recent years it has been claimed

"A process of lettering bone or
ivory, by sinking the letters into the
material in a permanent fashion, has
recently been introduced. These ivory
plates are taking the place of engraved
metal plates for signs, checks, badges
and so on. Electrical engineers have
also adopted the newplates, which can
likewise be applied to organs and
piano-fortes.
Sir John Lubbock has demon

kinds of ants are unable to exist with
out keeping other ants as slaves, though
why this is so he has not found out. On
removing the slaves from nest Of fifty

latter Immediately began to die of, and
were speedily reduced in number to six.
When the slaves were returned the

M. Cornu, a French scientist, re-
Gently expressed the opinion in the
Academy of Sciences that the light
emitted by shooting stars is not due to
confagration or the heat of impact. In
those high regions. he said, our
atmosphere is too unsubstantial to
render the explanation satisfactory. It
is much more probable that the phe-
nomenon is one of static electricity de-
veloped by simple friction, and it is
well known that rarefed gases can be
made to glow intensely with but very
little electric fluid.
The number of Touring mills in En-
gland is estimated at about 1000, with
total capacity of little moro than
51,000,000 barrels per annum. This is
one-fourth larger than the require
ments of the country. The mills could
not be run to more than eighty per
cent, Of their capacity if no -four was
imported. But large quantities are
received from the United States and
some from Hungary, and the produc-
tion of the home mills is not much more
than half of what it would be if there
were no competition from abroad.
What are known by the name Of
iron bricks have been satisfactorily in
troduced as paving material in some
parts Of Germany. These bricks are
made by mixing equal parts OF finely
ground red argillaceous slate and finely

per cent. of iron ore. The ingredients
thus mixed together are then mois-
tened with solution OF twenty-five per
