and the coming OF the noted Captain
Kidd at once became the all-absorblng
topics OF conversation.
Men gathered In knots at street COR
ners to discuss II.
Women, with all their little onos
clinglng to their skirts, like chickens
about mother hen when the shadow Of
a hawk falls upon them, camo out OF
their houses, and talked with other
women about the awful topics.
The servants discussed II over the
fences Of back gardens.
The good old dominic thought serl.
ously OF summonlng the people together
and holding religious services suitable
to the occasion.
The sailors from the Sea Hawk and
W0nderer suddenly became objects Of
an intenser interest than they had yet
attracted for the people saw In them
the heroes who must soon be brought
face to face with Captain Kidd and de-
stroy him, or be destroyed. There was
enough doubt about the former con-
tingent to keep up the exoitement-in-
deed, to add to 1t.
In the midst Of this hubbub three men
mounted on horses and followed by two
servants, one n white lad and the other
negro youth, came into the town.
One was Captain Fox, looking as
fresh and smiling as II he had been off
on most enjoyable picnic; by his side
rode Uncas, chief OF the Montauks, and
slightly to the rear was Colonel Ora
ham, looking very pale, and 0thello,
looking, II possible, blaoker than ever.
This party dismounted before the Inn
door and sent their horses to the stable.
Their appearance would ordinarily
have caused some excitement, but
they now entered the house nearly UNI
noticed, excepting that some Of the
people whispered together about Uncas
and his warriors bearing hand in the
general defense, In the event of Capt.
Kidd's making landing.
As soon as Frenauld could do so
without attracting attention, he drew
Capt. Fox to one side and whispered
nervously:
1T Is known in New York that we are
In these waters.
"Who told you so2" said Fox, show
ing no sign of alarm.
Frenauld gave synopsis Of Sam
Tallmadge's report, and closed with
reference to the murdered post-rider.
Great was his surprise to hear Fox say:
"Goodl By all the powers of sea
and sky, things could not have hap
pened better. Their very efforts to de-
feat me will but further my schemes.
Why, man, would have given this
sailor thousand pounds for what he
has done for us for nothing. Now, |
shall to work, and when the cruisers
come after Capt. Kidd they will find he
has two Of their provincial ships under
his command. The Sea Hawk is ours

Linon in Winter.

1t is a great mistake to allow linen
to freeze on the line in winter. Even
at some sacrifice in purity Of color
linen goods should be dried in the
house. This is the advice given by
all dealers in linens who understand
the subject. The reason is a simple
one; When the goods are frozen the
fiber is strained to some extent, and
every fold or crease in the linen
strains it still more, and in a short
time cracks appear where there were
folds. No linen is proof against this
strain. The best way Of washing
large pieces Of linen, like tableclOths,
is to soap the soiled places after first
removing all stains that you believe
will not come out with washing.
Different stains require to be treated
differently, and every housekeeper
has her own rules. The majority of
stains that will not wash out should
be treated before the cloth is wet.
After the stained places are at
tended to, and special places are
soaped, put the cloths to soak over
night in cold water. In the morn
ing wiring them out into warm water,
rub them on the rubbing board, and
put them into a boiler of cold water,
in which teaspoonful Of kerosene is
dissolved to every gallon of water.
Let the cloths boil; remove them
from the fire as soon as they boil up
well, and put them into clear, cold
water Rinse them from this water
into another, and then into a third,
and, If the clothes are to be blued,
put them finally through a bluing
water No table linen should be
blued every time it IS washed. If
the cloths are blued for two weeks
and bluing is omitted for two weeks,
each set Of cloths used alternate
weeks is blue once month, or every
alternate time it is washed By this
means sOiled spots and stains cannot
be covered up by bluing, as they fire.
quently are by careless laundresses.
The best bluing is old-fashiOned
indigo, This may still be purchased
at large drug stores, but is seldom
sold at groceries. There is one kind
of bluing against which every one
should be warned, This is Prussian
blue, though it is never or seldom
sold by that name. 1t is a compound
Of iron, and will, in process of time,
produce iron rust spots. Test the
bluing you use by making solution
of a little in water and add piece Of
washing soda to it, If it turns a
dull reddish color it is Prusslan blue,
and must not be used.-New York
Tribune.

WEIGHT OF A CROWD.
Experiments Show 1t Is from 40 to 100
Pounds Per Square Foot

Experiments Show 1t Is from 40 to 100
Pounds Per Square Foot.
The load which is produced by a
dense crowd of persons is generally
taken at 80 to 100 pounds per square
foot, and is considered to be the
greatest uniformly distributed load
for which floor need be proper
toned, That this value may be
largely exceeded in an actual crowd
was pointed out by Prof. w. O. Ker-
not, Of the Melbourne University,
Australia, in recent paper before
the Victorian Institute Of Engineers
In an actual trial a class Of students
averaging 1885 pounds each in
weight were crowded In a lobby con-
tanning 1928 square feet, making an
average floor load of 134.7 pounds.
There was still room to have placed
another man, which would have
brought up the loading to l43. l
pounds per square foot.
Prof. Kernot also quoted from
Stoney, who placed flfty-eight Irish
laborers, averaging las pounds each
In weight, in an empty ship deck
house measuring tlfty-seven square
feet floor area. This was q load Of
147.4 pounds per square foot. In
another test, with seventy-three la
borers crowded into a hut nine feet
by eight feet eight inches Stoney
produced a load Of lab pounds per
square foot, and estimated that two
or three more men could have been
squeezed in. 1t appears from these
experiments that while the figures
ordinarily assumed of so to 100
pounds are sufficiently correct on
spaces on which there is no cause to
induce the collection Of great crowds,
larger figures, say l4O to $50 pounds
per square fool, should be used for
railway stations and platforms, en-
frances and exits to places of public
assemblies or Of Office buildings,
bridge sidewalks, pavements over
vaults and other places where dense
crowds are likely to gather.-Engi-
neering news.

missionary Stamps.

The Philadelphia Record has heard
that cancelled American postage
stamps are worth more than face
value in the far East, and American
missionaries are turning them to
good account in the conversion of
pagan children. For some time the
big business houses have received
numerous requests for old stamps,
and many thousands have been gath
cred In this way by Sunday school
children. Missionaries in China, on
entering the interior of that country,
have realized the value Of the can
celed stamps, which the natives prize
for decorative purposes, and have
sent requests to this country for all
the postage stamps procurable. They
are being collected by hundreds Of
thousands throughout the country.

A Cure for Envy.

A curiosity which a woman brought

water in its stomach is clearly seen
through the transparent casket Of the

curio is handled.

CAPTAIN FOX ACTS WITH CHARACTERISTIC
PRoMPTNEss
"Will you remain here, sir, or go ON
boaTd?" asked Frenaulu, whose admlra-
ton for his audacious commander rose
with the latter's confidence.
Wen 90 on board. Have the boat
ready. In the meantime, l must speak
with some Of these people, replied Fox.
"Will Colonel Graham go with your"
Il think so; he will II he Is wise.
Fox waved his hand, and Frenauld
left to obey the order he had just re-
ceived.
DR.. Hedges, who had been watching
Captain Fox ever since he entered the
inn, now approached him and said, as
he took his hand, Il am very glad to
welcome you back, Captain.
"And l EN- doubly glad to be back,
said Fox, retaining the Doctors hand,
while he held his head down as II think
ing of som ething of Importance. Sud-
denly he added: by the way, Doctor,
have you few moments to spareP"
"All the time you wish, replied the
Doctor, who was more and more i'm
pressed by the gallant bearing and arls-
tocratic manners of the Captain Of the
Wanderer.
Fox asked the landlord to show him
and the Doctor to a private ROOM and
then he motioned to Don to follow with
the bag which he had brought from the
ship.
When Don went out the Captain closed
the door cautiously, and said, as he be-
gan to open the bag:
when In New York City few days
ago, found few trifes, and with Miss
Lea in my mind bought them. J. know
she does not like me as yet, but that is
because she does not know me, and
perhaps she retains girllsh affection
for Capt. Denham. l know nothing
about Denham's family, but be 1t high
or low he is a good sailor, and that Is
saying a great deal.
And that is saying all, said the
Doctor, with vlRor. we all believe
that Ralph Dennam is the natural child
of some one. OF course, he is not to
blame for that, but my daughter shall
never wed o man she knevs nothing
about.
Perhaps you are right said Fox,
ayertlng his face to conceal the smile
that he could not suppress at the 9TH
er's absurd reasoning. But l was go
ing to ask you to do me a great favor. "
A thousand OF them, said the Doc
tor, at once.
Captain Fox drew an ebony, inlaid
casket from the bag, and taking small
key--it looked to be made OF gold--he
displayed the contents.
Great diamond stones that glowed
with the brllliancy OF rainbows mirrored
