Captain F. Vehling has arrived at San
Francisco, Cal, with the steam launch
Kussllotf fro n Alaska. Daring a peril
GUS voyage he has been obliged to act not
only as captain bat also as cabin boy,
cook and crew of the little vessel.
Years ago the launch Ku:silof was
sunk off Kariuk, Alaska. Yelling
bought the boat tor a tritiing sum, aad
early this season, after providing her
with schooner rigging, shipped a crew
and prepared for a trading trip among
the Indians.
One day Yelling allowed his men to
go ashore at kariuk. About noon a
heavy vino came up and tie vessel
broke her cable and drifte out to sea.
Vehllng made the best of the situation
aud steered the boat ont to sea. By
dusk the kussiloif was out Of sight OF
land, aud all that night the wind blew a
gale.
Vehling stood by the helm and scui-
ded under bare poles. Next morning
the wind changed and blew him to ward
the San Juan archipelago. The captain
saw it was impossible To- make ,rluk,
and turned the bow Of the boa. toward
SAT- Francisco.
At night Csptain Veniing would
shorten sail u b I, tie his uldier, aud 20
to sleep in the cabin. He cooked his
own meals, manned his own boat, and
was king and captain Of all he looscd
upon. The 1Kussiloff proved herself an
excellent saIsor.-Coicago Times.

A H0me.Mad Safety Lamp.

To instantly obtain a light sufficient to
read the time by u watch or clock at
night without the use Of matches and
without danger is an easy matter. Take
al oblong vial of the c~learest glass, put
into it a piece of phosphorus the size OF
a pea, upon this pou, some pure olive oil
heated to the boiling point, filling the
bottle about one third full. Then cork
tightly. To use the light, ronove the
cork, allow the air to enter and then re-
cork. The whole empty space In the
bottle will thcn become luminous, aud
the light obtained will be a good Que.
AS soon rs the light becomes dim, Its
power can be increased by opening the
bottle and allowing a fresh supply of air
to enter. In very cold weather it is
sometimes necessary to hold the vial iu
the hands to increase the huidity Of tn
oil, aud one bottle will last a winter

All great people have had their follies,
which is another way OF saying that all
have had their weak points. Tycho
Brahe, the great astronomer, had terri
BILE fear of hares and foxes. II by any
chance he saw one, it mattered not
whether it was dead or alive, he grew pale
and his legs trembled under him.
The great DR.. johnson, with all his
philosophy, was not without a supersti-
ton. He was very careful not tc enter a
room with his left foot foremost; II by
any chance he did so he would Immediate
ly step back and re-enter with his right
foot foremost.
He was terribly afraid OF death, too, and
you'd not suffer it to be mentioned in his
presence.
Julius Cesar, to whom the shouts of
thousands of the enemy were but sweet
music, was mortally afraid of the sound
of thunder, and always wanted to get un-
der ground to escape the dreadful noise.
Queen Elizabeth, despite her bloody
nature, trembled at the sound OF the word
" DEATH" and Tslleyrand shivered and
changed color at the same word.
Marshal SAKE, who loved to look upon
