The Sailor and His Pets.

Jack is fond of pets, and when at sea
is allowed to cultivate that fondness to
a certain extent. The most hard hearted
shipowner does not object to having one
or two stray dogs or cats provided with
homes on his vessel. And Jack is very
grateful for this indulgence. 1t affords
him deep pleasure to hold in his loving
though rough embrace the innocent
creature who, either by cheerful wag
of the tail or a responsive purr, assures
him that his attentions are appreciated,
and that the fact of his being lacking in
personal attractions is not taken into
consideration.
I Jack loves the poor creature just as
tenderly as if he were perfect. The
ships cat may be lean and uninviting in
appearance, but this does not prevent
Jack from petting it. Other pets are
sometimes kept on board ship It is not
unusual for seamen ON vessels returning
| from tropical ports to have pet monkeys
or parrots. The captains wife, who has
her own way sometimes. turns her cabin
into an aviary. Single captains have
been known to keep pets on, shipboard,
although, as a rule, they seem ashamed
to display any weakness of this descrip-
tion. London Tit-Bits.

a rriel Of th. Yoanx aa...


There are tricks and tricks, and it is
said that all is fair in love and war, but
here is something that has discrimina-
ton worthy of better cause. A young
man who sometimes calls at our house
confessed it in moment of confidence.
All the girls know to their cost how
easily a party fan is broken, and each
girl will easily recall the fact that she
herself did not break her fan. 1t was in
the hands of her escort, or a youth on
dancing duty, who was twirling it while
uttering soft nothings, and snap-went a
pearl stickl Now am told that this Is
always done on purpose. As soon as the
fan is broken the young man is overcome
with regret and insists on having it
mended or replacing it.
He may not do either, but he carries it
off and calls with it when it is repaired,
or to say that he, lost it, or that it was
stolen from his pocket that same even
ing; but there it is, a door opening to the
future. 1t forms fimsy society tie
| but still tie-between him and girl
he adores, and whom he could not reach
without this little passport. 1t is worth
q dozen letters of introduction, because
| it places the girl under an apparent
obligation at the start. But who would
have believed there was so much decep
ton in-the other sex?-Detroit Free

A Quaint Bit of Praise.

To be eulogized when dead is more
often the lot of man than to be praised
in life, but surely quainter compliment
was never paid a dead man than was
received by Talleyrand. for, when his
demise was announced to one of his
acquaintances, the latter exclaimed, ..He
must have had some good reason for
dyingi think will be atleast i'll my
self,' and forthwith Z went to- bed.
Yet another compliment to dead man
was uttered by the Marchioness of -,
who, when told that the celebrated
physician Borden had been found dead
in bed, exclaimed, ssAhI Death was SO
afraid of him that he did not dare attack
him except whenShe was asleep. Lon

Two Bold Compliments.

A bold stroke to obtain liberty by
means of compliment was that made
by M. de Maupertius, who when pris-
oner in Austria was presented to the
empress, who said to him, ssYou know
the queen of Sweden, sister to the king of
Prussia?" Eyes, madame" 81 am told
that she is the most beautiful princess in
the world" Madame replied the cum
ming prisoner, 81 always thought SO un-
til now" This was as diplomatic as the
words and action of the Marquis Medina,
a Spanish nobleman.
Queen Elizabeth, who had been admir-
ing his elegance, and complimenting
him on it, at the same time begged to
know who possessed the heart of so ac-
complished cavalier. Madame" !" said
he, ga lover risks too much ON such an
occasion; but your majesty's viii is law.
Excuse me, however, if fear to name
her, but request your majesty's accept
ance of her portrait" He sent her a
looking giass.-London Standard.

The Craze for sonvenirs.

The popular craze for souvenirs which
now prevails among persons who have
money to spend is spreading in various
directions Formerly the silver spoon
held undisputed sway, but now there are
souvenir bracelets, souvenir napkin
rings, souvenir buttons and souvenir
fans. The silversmiths are kept busy
getting up new and novel designs, and
each jewelry store of any Importance
has its souvenir department. Spoons OF
course are still in the greatest demand.

The Art Of cutting clothes.

as the saying is, and others who seem to
do so are never able to produce any
other results than such as make old

riage in the south, in company with two
very pleasant men who CHANGED to be
seated opposite to me at the end of the
crowded car, and had got out to 'sbuy q
lunch" as they say, at station, my two
fellow passengers having promised to
keep my seat for me. When l returned
to the car l found a tall, gaunt man, in
broad slouch hat, apparently about to
take my seat. but yet not actually tax
ing it. .E-f ftftHfa tT W
A glance at my acquaintance opposite
showed me why he hesitated. Each of
them was holding a cup of coffee to his
mouth with his left hand, while his
right grasped a revcsver covering the
intruder. Time being short, they were
drinking their coffee while they kept
the Britisher's seat" The tall stranger
politely retired on my appearing, the
others put their revolvers in their hip
pockets without any remark and we re-
sumed our journey.
What amused me most of all, though,
was a glimpse got of a solemn looking
old man about half way down the car,
who had drawn out from somewhere an
enormous -antiquated, ivory handled six
shooter, and was holding it up with his
finger on the trigger, ready to take a

The Case of Fireman Shields Cited.
Upon information received that Patrick
Shields, an Irishman, and probably
British subject but at the time a fireman
of the American steamer Keweenaw, in
the harbor of Valparaiso for repairs, had
been subjected to personal injuries in that
city, largely by the police, | directed the
Encouragement to cause the Evidence of
the officers and crew of that vessel to be
taken upon its arrival in San Francisco
and that testimony is also herewith trans
mitted The brutality and even savagery
of the treatment of these poor men by the
Chilean police would be incredible if the
evidence of Shields was not supported by
other direct testimony and by the distress
ing condition of the man himself when he
was finally able to reach his vessel. The
captain of the vessel says: "He came back
wreck, black from his neck to his hips
from beating, week and stupid, and is still
in kind of paralyzed condition, and has
never been able to do duty since"

A claim for reparation has been made
In behalf of this man, for while he was
not citizen of the United States, the
doctrine long held by us, as expressed in
the con sular regulations, is: "The prin-

distinguished from the relief of seamen
are well settled. 1t is held that the cir
cumstance that the vessel is American is
evidence that the seamen on board are
such, and in every regularly documented
vessel the crew will find their
protection in the flag that covers them"
| have as yet received no reply to our
note of the 21st inst, but in my opinion I
ought not to delay longer to bring these
matters to the attention OF congress for
such action as may be deemed appropriate.
