The Brains of the warsbin.

The responsibility of the warship's cap.
tain is greater now than ever. On his
Judgment and experience depend the safety
of his craft and the lives Of the crew, and
one mistaken move ON his part may cause
the destruction of the vessel and give the
victory to the enemy. His post is one of
great danger; although protected by the
heavy walls of the coming tower, from
whence he directs the course of the COM
bat, it is exposed, from its very position
forward on the deck, to the enemy's fire,
and calm and determined indeed must be
the courage of the man who in such hell
of fire and devastation can coolly watch
the foe and communicate his commands to
his subordinates at the guns or in the
bowels of the ship.
A touch of the button of one of the row
of electric bells gives the order to fire gun
or torpedo, or perform some maneuver or
evolution, ready hands at the annunciators
telegraph his orders to the engine room,
while with word or gesture he directs the
course of the ship, and the steam steering
wheel revolves to port or starboard in the
hands Of the well trained quartermaster.
In the wild storm of battle, here in the
coming tower the mind that governs all.
has its place; and for veal or woe, for life
or death, for victory or defeat, the thought
that flashes over the wires, even to the ut
termost parts of the vessel, is born here
where lie the brains of the ship.-Harper's

King Alfonso XII Still Unburied.

wonder how many people there are
who are aware of the strange fact that;the
late King Alfonso of Spain, who died six
years ago, is still unburied and awaiting
his final interment in the tomb which has
been prepared for his corpse, clothed only
in thin linen garment. The dead king
lies on slab of rock near running
spring of water in a cavern in the side of
the mountain on the slope of which the
grand old Escurial is built. There he will
remain until his body has attained all the
peculiar properties of mummy, and then
only will the CHASTITY object be placed in
its niche in that marvellous jasper vault
under the great dome of the Escurial
church, where only the remains of Span
ish kings and of the mothers of kings are
allowed to lie.
Some bodies, notably that of Queen Isa-
bella's father, remained on the rock table
for twenty and twenty-five years before
they were in fit condition to be transferred
to the vault. The name of this weird
cavern is the "Pudrido," name which is
also misapplied to the vaults containing
the bodies of the infants and the infantas

A Remarkable Fire Escape.

Fire escapes have hitherto, as a rule,
been limited to ropes and ladders, which
are often rendered useless either by the
fire or by the rush of people and the diff
Guilty women and children have in making
use of them. A new fire escape seems to
avoid many of the usual drawbacks. 1t
consists of form of elevator, attached to
the back of building, with fireproof doors
leading into it from the end Of each hall
way on every floor. The doors close auto
matically and the person entering it is at
once shut off from the fire. He steps on
a platform in the elevator and his own
weight will take him to the bottom and
land him out of doors.
The elevator works automatically and
cannot be put out of order by hasty use.
The weight of child Is sufficient to send
1t to the bottom, the speed being regulated
automatically by common governor at
tached to the top. Any number of people
could be going down at the same time
without increasing the speed. The plat
forms are attached to an endless chain,
folding as they pass up and falling into
place as they come down-Exchange.

Trimming Ever1reens.

1t is not generally known that coniferous
trees, and Norway spruces especially, may
be made to throw extra vigor into the lower
branches and assumes dense mass of
healthy verdure of natural character by
simply taking out the leading shoot and
training up one of the side branches to
occupy the position as a leader. When
this is done no further trimming or shear
ing of any kind is required to produce the
dense mass of vigorous green lower shoots
so desirable. In cutting back this leader it
is best not to take it wholly out the first
year, but to leave portion of it standing
as stump. To this stump then the lateral
branch is tied-the lateral branch which is
to take the place of the leading shoot fin
ally.
This lateral branch is tied up to the
stump and so remains for a few months
or the first of the year, when the stump is
cut away close to its base. But it soon
heals over and the lateral shoot then re-
mains erect, and forms the ultimate lead
ing shoot. This check is all that is re-
quired to force the vital power into the
lower side branches. An actual test with
knife and string will explain more partic-
ularly how this is done. Not only the
Norway spruce, but all pines and frs can
be treated in the same way, and the result
of this simple treatment Is specimens of
beauty, which could hardly be appreciated
by those who have had no experience with
such work.-Meehan's Monthly

Men Who Mature Early.

There are men whose powers ripen early.
Young men who attract the eye and COM
mand the ear at thirty, who are forgotten
at fifty. We could enumerate many whose
powers eliminated at forty and who fell
into decay speedily at time when man
should be in his prime. The national legis-
lature presents examples. The same may
be said of our state legislature, and it is
true of commerce, and in the ministry, and
in the legal profession. When we investiI
gate the causes we find as rule that the
man who reaches the apex of his career at
forty or before it is not well rounded in
character.
There is a noticeable lack. 1t may be of
self control 1t may be Astounding self
love and it may be unwise, uncalled for
animosity to his fellows, an ungovernable
temper or an unconquerable bad habit.
A directory composed of practical men
were canvassing the claims of candidates
for an important and highly trustworthy
position. The candidate most favored was
young man who had distinguished him
self in several ways. The president of the
board summed up the accomplishments of
the applicant, then gravely announced his
decision. "We want" said he "a young
man with ambition. This candidate is
likely to rely upon past achievements. !
prefer one who is anxious to make a
record" There was wisdom in the de-
cision.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

J Explorers Who Never Returned.

The discoveries of the Cariboo gold fields
in British Colulbbia, from which dust and
nuggets worth 500, 0O0, 900 have been taken,
are unknown. Thomas Seward, a fruit
grower, living near Lytton, relates story
of how he just missed being one of the dis
coverers and of the probable fate of the
discoveries. He had the gold fever in Lon
don. and he went to British Columbia in
1858. As one of party of prospectors he
reached Point Roberts after perileus sail
in q dugout across the guilt, where canoe
was loaded with sufficient provisions for 3
long stay in the newly discovered country.
They went up the Fraser river to Yale,
and on to the head of navigation on the
Lillevet river. Then they carried the pro-
visions forty miles to Big Bar. While they
were prospecting one day three men with
canoe went up the stream. One was
drawing canoe by rope, the second was
Tending it off from the rocks and the third
was steering They were on the opposite
side and did not stop.
They were the original discoveries of
Cariboo! After passing Stewards camp
they went to Fort Alexander, where they
learned from Indians that gold might be
found in the river known now as Quesnelle.
They went up to the forks of the Quesnelle,
left their canoes and entered the Cariboo
country. No trace of them has ever been
found, but the news Of big strike there
reached the coast about six weeks after
they had entered. A few days alter the
three men had passed by Seward quit
the camp because the dirt did not pay,
and returned to Victoria. 1t is believed
that the discoveries were killed by Indians
soon after they had reached the fields

MY PICTURES.

'.Exquisiter'E I'm glad that you like them.
1.-THE wonderful artist!'' Unknown
Or, at least, not given due credit
For all that we often see done.
There's delicate toning in this one,
Those sorrel and grass tints are fine,
Where theAmeadows sweep up. on the hillside
In that waving wind tossed line.
1.-THE homestead" Yes, that bit is priceless
How the hollyhocks seem to sway
From its 'rioting wealth Of a garden
In the breeze of childhood's day!
And the warm, glad tints of the sunshine
Seem to light up its time worn gray,
And illumine the winding path that leads
To the well sweep over the way.
Inspiring, indeed!'' See the mountains
Like priests in the distance shinel
AS bearing our highest thoughts with them,
They enter some unseen shrine.
MY collection would challenge the critics.
All, where is the critic SO rash?
My pictures are all above censure,
They are framed by window sash.
