An American was at an Edinburg.
Scotland, hotel for month, and when
the bill was presented noticed that he
had been charged with a bottle OF wine
Of brand he had never used. More
pver he had no recollection Of having
ordered any article of the kind on the
date specified. He complained Of the
overcharge 70 the proprietor, who
blandly remarked: Very well; I'll
take 1t of. You see the girl who got
that bottle OF wine from the cellar
forgot to whom it had been served, so
charged 1t 10 every guest in the house.
All who didn't have it will object, and
the one who did will pay" well,
but aren't you afraid that some one
who didn't have it will pay, too?'
asked the American. Mo- was th'
reply; "rm afraid they won't" Thir

wine,

talking for US, and now he answered back
that we refused to surrender. The natives
had perhaps expected this answer, for at
signal from the spokesman in the sampan
battery of six-pounders did open on us
at close range. Their gunnery was so
POOR, however, that only one shot struck
the brig in their half hours cannonade.
We wanted to reply, but the orders were
to wait Wait we did, and by and by
the battery stopped firing and four big
prahns and as many as thirty two
man sampans came sweeping out to us.
The fellows were yelling and screaming
and beating tom-toms, no doubt expect
ing an easy victory, and they were within
canister range when we dropped the ports
and began blazing away. Such men as
were not needed to work the guns used
muskcts, and in ten minutes we had the
crowd thoroughly licked. 1t seemed
as if the surface Of the sea for acres IN
extent was covered with black heads and
the wrecks of their prahns and sampans.
Plenty of the fellows were shot as they
drifted about or swan for the shore, and
when no one could longer be seen in the
water the brig opened her guns on tho
town and the island. For two good
hours she whaled away at them, driving
every living thing beyond reach of her
guns, and when She went out of the bay
everything on land seemed to be ablaze.
It was knockout blow for the strong
hold, as the entire fleet and upward of
100 men were destroyed.-Nee0 YORK.

Where the Old Ships Go.

A man stepped into one of the ship
ping offices on Front street the other day
to have look at the Marine Register. An
old sea captain who had been reading it
remarked, as the visitor laid the sheet
aside after an apparently fruitless inspec-
tion, "Don't find what you were looking
for, eh?"
"No," was the answer. ''I was look
ing for the B, but she isn't listed in
this number"
"Old ship?'
eyes; I sailed in her twenty years
ago"
"Oh, well, then, she belongs to the
Germans by this time"
"How's that?"
"Wcll, the Germans don't build ships
-ieastwise not wooden ones-so much
as other people do. They buy second
hand ships, and they do most of their buy
ing in America. The German merchants
operate on smaller capital than ours, and
they can't or won't put as much money
into timber as they do here. They have
a sharp eye for bargains, too, let me tell
you, and when they find tub that's
somewisc slow or leaky, but presentable
and cheap, they buy her, copper-botton
her, and start her on her travels again.
There's lots of American built ships fly
ing the Dutchman's flag at our wharvcs.
Some Norwegians buy 'em, too, but it's
mostly Germans that get 'cm."
This throws light on old ships, but
the pins, pianos and sewing machines
are still to be accounted for.-Neo0 York

A S225,000 SchOolhOuse.

The School Board of Mannheim, in
Baden, Germany, claims to have the
model common schoolhouse of the world.
The building has just been completed at
an expense of $1,000. 1t contains
forty-two ordinary school rooms, two
rooms for drawing, two for singing, two
for handwork, large gymnasium, hall
for public exercises, two meeting rooms
for directors, two sets of rooms for SER
wants, and four little prison cells for re-
fractory pupils. The materials in the
structure are almost exclusively iron and
brick. The ceilings of all the rooms,
corridors, and the big hall, are of con-
crete. The floors of the class rooms are
hard wood laid on asphalt. They are
supposed to be so constructed as to rem
der the accumulation of dust and the
breeding of bacteria impossible. The
building is heated by low-pressure
steam system. In the basement are swim
baths. The boys baths accommodates
twenty at once, and the girls bath fif-
teen. Half of the basement is huge,
bright room, full of tables and chairs.
Here in winter 900 poor children will re-
ceive half pint of milk and roll each
daily for luncheon. In the ninety win
ter days, during which this arrangement
willprevail, the directors estimate that
they will give away ,250 quarts of
milk and 81, ,0G0 rolls.

IMPORTANTLY IN PRAYER.

This is enforced by parable. A traveller,
either belated or journeying by night, as was
not infrequent In the East, to avoid the heat
Of the day, knocks at mans house at mid
night for entertainment. The keeper Is out
of bread, but true to the Eastern laws OF
hospitality, which are sacred and binding,
he goes to u neighbor seeking three loayes.
The neighbor answers that the door is
locked. that he is in bed, that his children
are in bed mot all in the same bed, but In
the same apartment. The whole family
often sleep in the same room), and that 1t is
too much trouble to get up and accom-
modate him.
This was natural enough, and especially
If, as some interpreters think, the request
was not simply for the loan of three loaves,
but that the neighbor should get up and
build fire and bake them because the other
mans meal had failed. Nevertheless, al
though the trouble was great and the friend
ship not equal to it, yet the Importantly OF
the man asking for the three loayes succeed
ed. This importunity could not be turned
away. It was, as the original Greek means,
fairly shameless and impudent.
1t reused the sleeper and pounded away
at bis door and begged so persistently and
intensely for bread as to make it less dis
agreeable to get up and crafty the demand
than it was to bear the noise and resist the
suppications. Importantly prevailed, when
humanity and friendship could not. This
shows us how we are to continue in asking
until We receive; to continue in seeking un-
til we find: to continue in knocking until
the heavenly gate is opened for our entrance.

The Carrier Pigeon.

For long time past the carrier pigeon
has been regularly employed in the ser
vice of the evening newspapers OF the
Midands and North of England in carry
ing reports of football and cricket
matches and other events from outlying
districts. So far as is known, however,
pigeons have not hitherto been used for
the conveyance of sketches intended for
publication. In order to insure the rapid
delivery of the sketches made by the
artists of an cntcrprising illustrated
paper at the recent university boat race,
pigeons especially trained were loosed,
with the sketches tied around their necks,
from the attendant launch and the press
boat both during the actual race at the
moment the crews passed the winning
post. During the siege of Paris carrier
pigeons were extensively used, and the
breeding and training of them for mill
tary purposes are carried on in connec-
tion with the German army. As carriers
of telegrams, these birds can be easily
and iuexpensivcly used between country
houses and postoffices situated some
miles apart. The birds require to be
bred on the spot to which they arc in
tended to fly, and then to be sent away
from home, and kept IN an clubhouse or
stable, where they can not see the sur
rounding country. When liberated, they
at once fly home, and can carry tele-
grams, letters, etc., rolled up and tied
around their necks, weighing up to two
ounces IA lighter weight is, Of course,
better), at the rate of mile in two min
utes, and they arc seldom. if ever, lost.
When reply of a telegram is expected
from the postoffice situated some miles
distant, pigeon can readily be sent into
the postoffiee by the rural Postman, at
very small expense, to await the arrival
of the telegram at the office, when it can
be dispatched with the message
round its neck, and will arrive home in
few minutes, at considerable saving
of money as we'll as time. The British
East African Company are sending QUITO
East Africa each month number Of car
ricr pigeons, to be trained to carry mes
sages between the different stations in
land and on the coast. Homing pigeons
are hardy, and readily breed in all parts
of the world. In such a country as East
Africa proportion of them are likely to
fall prey to hawks and other rapacious
birds, but the acquisition of this means
of rapid communication will be inyalu-
able to the company.-Couraer- journal.
