APast Captains Eight.

For a week or two after the boat
races the humorous incidents OF
the occasion came to the sur
face. Here is one by Capt. Allen.
OF the Yale varsity eight OF 1890. A
former captain of Yale crew, for fun
and to while away the time, started
out to find an eight that could be re-
lied upon to look like the genuine
thing. There is cut about a rowing
man, and more especially one who
has been in varsity eights, that can
not be initiated. So that the seeker
after brawn and muscle found his
work no light task; and when he had
succeeded in finding matera the
prospective crew was found to beco
posed of past captains OF Yale ex-
clusively. So there could be no mis-
taking either of them for captain of
a barge in the wilds of Coventry
or Phenix Centre.
After borrowing clothes, so as to look
as much like Yale crew so as possible,
the past-captain crew shot up the
river, the stroke calling each man in
the boat by the name of the real Yale
crew. When near the Harvards'
quarter glasses were suddenly found
to be levelled at the disturbers OF the
rivers placidity, and in wondering
tones those on the bank inquired of
each other if that could possibly be
the real varsity eight. But the game
was soon up as the Harvards were
on to the herculean form of the
coxswain.-New London Day.

within his grasp, and looking up he
saw that Billy was reeling in his sad
die, and that his lips were bloodless.
IL think I'm DONE" he muttered
feebly and fell sideways of his horse
into the Colonel's arms.
They carried him over to the mess
and began to take of his military
Sreat-coat. Then something made him
open his eyes, and his face took lit
tie brave distorted smile.
Hold hardl hegasped; II think I've
got bullet somewhere, and-and-
my arms smashed"
"Why, damn itp' groaned the Colo
mel, laying him gently down, and look
ing round upon the circle of horror
striken faces, "he knew this, and he
has sent away the doctorl"
1t was some weeks before MAJOR
Hamerton was able to tell the story
OF Lieutenant Thompson s'heroic con-
duct-how when he himself was
wounded and at the mercy OF 80
murderers, the young officer defer
him single handed; how afterwar, &,
pushed On into Khunaz and brought
out James of the Police more dead
than alive, and how finally. while con-
cealing the fact that he had been shot
in the right arm, he rode forty miles
In to get the doctor and thus Tor the
second time saved the Majors life.
1t was longer still though before
Billy was out of danger. The wound
had set up inflammation and fever
| from over-exertion and the long time
that had OF necessity elapsed before
skilled care could be bestowed upon it,
and for weeks it was feared it would
go hard with Billy.
But in the end the "harum-scarum
young devil" got well, and the Colonel
had the pleasure of sending up a
Confidential Report" of a very super
ior kind, together with brilliant pen
dant, which has resulted in the be-
stowal of the much-coveted Victoria
Cross upon Lieutenant William
Thompson, of Ours.-Vanity Fair.

A DEADLY PILGRIMAGE.
Heartrendlng Accounts of a Pill
grimage to Mecca.

Heartrendlng Accounts of a Pill
grimage to Mecca.
An Indian journal says that OF all
the pilgrims leaving Bombay for Mecca
and Medina more than third never
return. Out OF "a, ,63S pilgrims who
left in the six years ending 1890, 22,-
449 were missing. In 1888, of 49,
$40 who started, 1866 did not re-
turn. The vast proportion of those
missing owe their deaths to epidemics,
starvation and, it is said, murder,
between Jeddah and Mecca. at is
said, we know not with what truth,
that gangs OF budmashes travel reg
ularly by the pilgrim steamers so as
to select as their victims such pill
means while on the voyage" On
the return voyage the deaths range
from 200 to nearly 400 per 1000 per
annum. This is due to privation
before leaving Jeddah, to overcrowd
ing and sickness on board, to insani-
tary ships and want OF supervision,
and to the age and infirmity of many
OF the pilgrims. The voyage to Jeddah
is long, and the allowance OF space
between decks is 8 superficial feet per
adult, or 6 feet by l Z feet, SO that if
each pilgrim lay down, and the deck
were free from baggage, their would be
just room, and no more, for the
passengers. The health officer OF Bonn
bay, in his report for 1890, describes
the voyage of the pilgrim ship Deccan,
on which cholera appeared on the
eighth day out from Bombay. Disease
and starvation decimated the pass
engers-113 perished in eighty-fve
days; and OF 1246 passengers who set
out on the voyage only 1 IL 3 returned.
"The appearance OF the survivors
when the vessel arrived at Bombay
was heartrending The physically
strong had become feeble and the
passengers were, with comparatively
few exceptions, emaciated, fever
stricken, scorbutic, and dropsical;
and the sufferings they had undergone
at Camaran were clearly and unmis-
takably depicted on their bodies."-

In the naples kindly shade
Leaning from the ferny shore,
Watched the dappled river-fioor.
Where the raindrops gayly played.
Every leaiy mountain glade -
Felt the raind.rops' rushing raid;
Lowering storm-clouds hovered o'er
While the rain came down.

With the wide umbrellas aid,
Sheltered from the drops that pour,
Love and youth their happy lore,
Naught cared they, though long delayed,

A School Boy on Breathing.

We breathe with our lungs, our lights, our kidneys and our liver. If it wasn't for our breath we would die when we slept. Our breath keeps the life agoing through the nose when we are asleep. Boys who stay in the room all day should not breathe. They should wait until they get out in the fresh air. Boys in a room make bad air called earbonicide, Carbonlcide is as poison as mad dogs. A lot of soldiers were once in black hole in Calcutta, and carbonicide got in there and killed them.
