CATCHING A COOLIE.

1t was i'll the eigNties-I forget the
exact date-that I was an able seaman
on board the ship John E. Redwood. of
Phillipsburg, engaged in the East Iudi.s
trade. This was my first deep water
voyage. Before this had been in west
efn ocean vessels. During the dog
watches my mind was filled with the
wonders to be seen in a deep waterman.
heard many yarns about the marvellous
tricks in juggling of the natives of the
countries we visited, and of the fairly
desperate agility of the thieves that in
tested the seaport towns Of India and
China
After an unevcntful voyage we az
rived at Bombay, and one of the crew
having been chosen for night watchman
the rest of us were employed in working
cargo. The watchman's duty consisted
in keeping q vigilant watch from in the
evening until next morning. He was
responsible for every thing that was
stolen. The rest of the time he was az
lowed to do as he pleased.
My chu1n Bill Davis was chosen for
this duty. and we rather envied him.
To see him sitting down in the shade
smoking his pipe, VII, we We're work
ing our soul cases off under broiling
sun and with scarcely Il breath Of wind
to stir the air, was enough to make any
one envious
One Saturday afternoon Bill came to
me as was taking a quiet smoke ana
asked me to stand his watch that nighi.
As Bill had been a good ship:nate
could not refuse him, although | was
dead tired. All hands except the cap
tain, the mate and myself, left for the
beach, bound on q grand lark.
1t was still daylight. but even then
the ship seemed lonely and deserted.
The captain and mate We're sitting on
the poop abaf6 the after house, having a
game and smoke. I fingered around
the BOBBY hatch and thought of the good
times ashore and felt lonelier every min
ute.
After sunset there was scarcely any
twilight, for the change between day
and night was almost instantaneous.
What little breeze had been blowing
throughout the day had died out. aud
the sea was like an immense mirror.
The sky was cloudless, and it was one
of those perfect nights that are only
seen in small latitudes. The men-of-
war started drilling with their search
lights, and the sight, as the light fell OIL
some stately ship, making her stand out
in bold relief while the rest of the fleet
was an indistinguishable mass of shad-
ows, was one never to be forgotten.
Watching the various doings in the har-
Dor served to pass the time, and | soon
forgot my surroundings, so absorbed did
I become in the different things that
were gcing on. Nothing disturbed the
stiffness but now and then boatloal
of drunken firemen going off to their
vessel and disputing with their boat
man. Occasionally some one would
start a song. and as it drifted over the
water its harshness was lost and only It's
beauty remained.
One by one those sounds aiaa ,v,-s--

The oyerbearing ways of drill ser

subject of gossip in the barracks Of
European countries.
On one occasion a recrrit-a profess

geant broke out at him:

The Segrel of the SUMS Heat.
1t seems to be worth while to collect
together what may be said on the sub
ject of tie duration of life On the globe.
1t is noteworthy fact that the posi-
bility of the continued existence of the
human raae depends fundamentally
upon the question of heat. If heat, or
what is equivalent to heat, does not
last, then man cannot last, either. There
is no shirking This plain truism.
OF course il is obvious that the avail
able heat generally comes from the sun.
So far as the coal goes, we have already
observed that as it is limited to quantity
it can afford no perennial supply
Doubtless there is in the earth some
quantity of other materials capable of
oxidation or of undergoing other chelni-
cal change. in the course of which and
as an incident of such change heat is
evolved. The amount of heat that can
possibly arise from such sources is
strictly limited. There is IN the entire
earth just certain number of units Of
heat possible from such combinations.
but after the combination has been ef-
fected there cannot be any more heat
from this source.
Then as TO the internal heat Of the

its interior. Here there is no doubt
large store of energy, but still it is of
limited quantity, and It IS also on the
wane. This heat is occasionally copious-
ly liberated by volcanoes, but ordinarily
the transit of heat from the interior to
the surface and its discharge from
thence by radiation is a slow process.

JUST BE GLAD.

Oh, heart of mine, we shouldn't
Worry so!
What We've missed of calm we couldn't
Have you know.
What We've met of stormy pain
And of sorrows driving rain,
We can better meet again,
Ii it blow.
We have erred in that dark hour.
We have known,
When the tears fell with the shower.
All alone
Were not shine and shower blent
AS the gracious Master meant?
Let US temper our content
With his own.
For, we know, not every morrow
Can be sad;
So, forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Let us fold away our fears
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
Just be glad.

right back of me, it must have come
from the mates room in the forward
part of the house. As there were two
ways Of getting down into the after
house, I was puzzled as to which one to
guard. I finally decided to close The
after conpanionway and take my sta
ton at the watchhouse, which was the
only other way by which the coolie
could get out. If he came up the COM
panionway should hear him. ana be

Sneaking along the alleywayI took up
my position alongside the watchhouse

around, not knowing where I should be
attacked on from what point. My mind
was getting unbalanced under the awful
pressure. To save myself | walked the
topgallant rail to the forecastle. From
there | went to the flying jib boom pole

of that night, knowing should be ac-

came to the conclusion that it was bet

than to become a maniac by watching
at that watchhouse door.
While awaiting daylight I could see
myself accused of murder and every
body laughing at my defense I could
see myself hung in foreign country.
After a long time I gathered what lit
tie courage I had left and came back to
the poop and carefully searched al
hooks and corners, but did not dare to
go down below until the moon had set.
Then I noiselessly sneaked below. To

my movements, he had slipped over
