Sailing Over n Volcano.

Captain III. S. Steward, of the schooner
Dora Steward, met with n startling ex-
perience on his voyage from Copper
island. When 80 degs. 4s north of Ath-
ka island he was below copying a char
about 10 am. The schooner, going at
eleven knots an hour, was suddenly lifted
as If whale had struck her keel. Fall
ing again into the trough of the sea, she
experienced succession of shocks which
cast everything loose about decks-the
men being unable to keep their feet, and
the mate, who was at the wheel, having
to cling to the spokes. The weather was
clear at the time, and the surface of the
sea betrayed no evidence of the sub
aqueous eruption which was taking
place.
The vesselkept on her course for fully
a minute, and when she had covered 500
yards, and after being shaken from stem
to stern like bicycle being ridden over
big cobblestones, the eruption ceased
and she sailed smoothly on. No debris
appeared on the surface Of the water,
but the mate Mt the wheel described the
spokes as so many electric batteries from
which strong shocks tingled through his
body till he could hardly keep his posi-
tion. = Seattle (Wash.) Cor. Chicago

Of them even state the regulation tip
which it is best to give the steward-ten
shillings-though twice that amount is
more often the rule, and it's worth It.
Women, it is said, invariably either
overdo this, and spoil the servants by
raising their ideas, or underdo IL so amaz-
ingly as to be absurd. suppose it is

Well, Boston actress crossed on the
steamer with the man mentioned above,
sailing from East Boston in the early
summer. She sat at the captains table,
and was SO pretty rs to attract the adj
miring attention of every one on board.
The fact had its penalties. She was in
lusty health, and her appetite reflected
the bracing effects of the sea air on her
fine physique. AT every meal she called
for every dish on the bill of fare. The
cook must have felt honored, but it
kept the steward jumping. He took
more steps for her sweet pleasure than
for all the rest of his contingent. He
did his duty well. There shone in his
eyes the contented hope of handsome
tip, and at the end of the voyage she
gave him-a shilling Mahogany Tree.

An Imperial Rescue,

Emperors and kings when mt home

is doubtless in the small amenities of
life that their real character shows it.
self most truly. An incident of the visit
Of the emperor of Russia to his father
in-law, the king OF Denmark, at the pal
ace Of Amalienborg, is creditable to the
car, though it put him for moment
in n ridiculous light.
Early one morning, soon after the ar
rival of the car at Amalienborg, the
sentinels who were guarding the garden
of the palace were astonished to see the
emperor come running out of the palace
in slippers and shirt sleeves, gesticuiat-
ing wildly and shouting loudly.
The soldiers knew not what TO do.
Had the autocrat of all the Russias
lost his reason or been attacked by
some mysterious enemy?
The czar soon answered the question
by rushing to corner of the garden
where n great barking and bowling was
going on. From the window of his
sleeping room he had seen one of his big
dogs make an attack on the favorite
black cat Of King Christian of Dem
mark, and without waiting to summon
a servant or even to put on coat he
had rushed ont to rescue the cherished
pussy. He saved the cat, and no doubt
earned the lasting gratitude of the king,
his host.-Youth's Companion.

Ouinine and Cholera.

DIR. Laurie, physician well known in
India, long ago asserted that he would
stake his professional reputation on the
efficiency of quinine rs a prophylactic
against cholera. A five grain dose Of
this drug every morning while the dis
ease is about is, he held, sure pre-
ventive.
During the epidemic of cholera in In
dia last year DIR. Hehir made certain
Investigations which resulted in the dis
covery of the presence in the blood, etc,
of cholera patients of peculiar para
site protozoon or microbe, although
whether that is the cause or the resul
of the disease has yet to be determined.
He found that this organism could not
live in strong solutions of quinine, and
he further found that the protective
virtues of quinine were amply demon
strated during the epidemic.
He now commits himself unreservedly
to the opinion expressed by DR.. Laurie,
and recommends the use of quinine rs I
prophylactic in addition to sulphurous
acid. 1t has been his practice for years
to administer dram doses of this acid
every three hours to all the inmates of n
house in which the disease breaks out
during the time the patient is in the
house.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Economics of the Poor.

A cheerful creature, who deserves
more credit for her courage than many
heroes who have died on the field of bat
tie, gave detailed list Of her "econom-
les" to reporter few weeks ago.
"Shoes are the greatest expense" she
said; "they cost fifty cents, and my boy
has to have q new pair every week" 1t
is pitiful, when one reflects that for two
dollars the boy might have pair of
shoes which would last him four monthsl
These are the economics of the very
poor. They buy worthless things, and
are obliged to do so often, for the simple
fact that they have not enough ready
money to buy good ones.
They cannot lay in quantities of pro-
visions nor buy healthful ones for the
same reason, and are consequently kept
poor and poorly clad and nourished be-
cause they cannot afford an outlay. In
furnishing their houses it is the same
thing. A cheap stove and a cheap chair,
which wear out and break down shortly,
are the only ones that can be got at the
moment.-Mary Abbott in Chicago Post.

ENGLISH FOLKS AT THE SEASIDE.
Visiting for Pleasure They Waste No Time

in Going to Bed.
man charged with begging once de-
ria ed that no had not been in bed for
thin teen years; he took his rest in door
ways and passages. This is not bad
record. but many of the homeless class
tould probably beat it. Certainly there
lre thousands-not only in England, but
NIL over the world-to whom such lux
ury as bed is unknown; unfortunates
are obliged to lay their heads in the odd
est places imaginable to prevent their
being rudely awakened by the police.
A sad ne'er-do-well told the writer
that this was his principal thought for
more days than he could count Where
should he sleep that night? And he had
theory that but for having this
object constantly in view as he tramped
over the monotonous pavements of Lon
don he must have lost his reason. He
laughed himself in after days when he
thought of some of his experiences mt
DOING out.
Even he, however, never slept in
stream, which was what some thirty
persons of both sexes did at Buda-Pesth
a few years back. The water, which
was warm, flowed from mill, and the
vagrants got into it and converted
number of stones into temporary pill
lows.
Even people with homes could tell
some strange stories on this head. OF
course in some countries beds are un-
known. The japanese, for example,
sleep on the floor mufiled in great
wadded coat and with a block of wood
for a pillow. But, confning ourselves
to England, just talk TO the dwellers in
the slums on this subject. Why, going
to bed there during the summer months
is positively inviting torture. Many
places swarm with vermin, and conse-
quently those who live in them find 1t
more comfortable to sleep anywhere
rather than in the proper place-even on
the doorstep.
The manager of the Isle of Man hotel
remarked few months ago that "vis-
itors" never went to bed. His servants
are often asked to provide breakfasts at
8 or A a. m. Certainly the streets Of
Douglass are pretty lively any time dur
ing the season.
A gentleman is fond of relating that
one night a select party settled not far
from his bedroom window and created
the most discordant din imaginable. He
bore it with exemplary patience for
about five hours. and then, dressing him
self, he went out and mildly expostu-
lated Saying he wanted some sleep.
"Sleepr roared one of the gang, blow

"then what did You come to the Isle of
Man for?"
They say at Blackpool, too, that If you
arrive at any hour of the day or night
you are just in time for something OF
other. The story goes that early one
morning dance was in progress on one
of the piers, when a shipwrecked sailor,
who had been drifting about on spar
and had fortunately "landed" on the
girders below, crawled up the steps.

An Odd RAILWAY,

"One of the queerest railroads any

S. Banks, of North Ontario, "is novel
line that runs from South Ontario, in
San Bernardino county, where live.
The line is seven miles long. A span Of
stout mules draw the car up over the
road. There is nothing singular about
that, but it comes in on the return trip.
"The seven miles are on tilt all the
way, although the track does not look
like it. So when the car starts back the
mules get on and take ride, the car
booming over the whole line by gravity.
The mules enjoy it too. They ride there
in as self satisfied way as any other
passenger, and the view seems equally
charming. North Ontario, you know,
is situated at the mouth of San Antonio
canyon, but there are a lot of magnifi-
cent mountains around there. One col
ony-for they can scarcely be called
towns-is situated on the Santa Fe road
and the other on the Southern Pacific.
1t is the seven miles of street railway
that connect the two.

is this: There is little truck under the
car, and it is pulled ont, becoming nm
adjunct to the regular passenger depart.
