How q Logbook Is Kept.

How many landsmen know how a log
book is written up? 1t seems just as
complicated as double entry bookkeeping
when one does not know, but after a lit
tie careful attention and study it's as
easy to keep a logbook as to eat hot gin
gerbread. There is list Of letters ar
ranged, and they look like SO much
Greek to the uneducated.
The letter b, for instance, stands for
blue sky, whether there be clear or hazy
atmosphere; means cloudy or detached
opening clouds; d denotes drizzling rain;
small j, fog; capital F, thick fog; e,
gloomy, dark weather; h, hail; !, light
ming. and m, misty or hazy SO as to in
terfere with the view.
The letter represents overcast or
when the whole sky is covered with one
impenetrable cloud. Passing showers
are noted by the letter p, and q indicates
the weather to be squally. Continuous
rain is indicated by an r, snow by an 8
and thunder by a t. Any ugly threat
ening appearance in the weather calls
for the letter u. and visibility or distant
objects, whether the sky be cloudy or
not, is represented by the letter v. A
small W is wet dew. A full point or dot
under any letter denotes an extraordi-
nary degree. As an example Of how the
letters are used take q p d l t. This
reads very hard squalls and showers of
drizzle, accompanied by lightning with
very heavy thunder. Numerals denote
the force of the wind. "A cipher indi-

B,p.,,,n. and Blanching.

Blushine ia not an art. Neither is it
an absolute sign of Ill breeding, as some
unkind folk main ain. The fact is it is
just as natural for some people to blush
on one occasion as it is for Others to turn
pale on another. The same laws of ma
ture which govern the one rule govern
the other. The capillaries or small blood
vessels which connect the arteries and
veins in the body form, particularly over
the cheeks, network so fine that it is
necessary to employ microscope to dis
hnguish them.
Ordinarily the blood passes through
these vessels in normal volume, leaving
only the natural complexion. But when
some sudden emotion takes possession Of
the heart its action increases, and an
electric thrill instantly leaps to the
cheeks The thrill is nothing more than
the rush Of blood through the invisible
capillaries. The color is nothing more
than the blood just beneath the delicate
surface of the skin. The causes that
bring about this condition in the cireu-
lating system are called mental stimuli.
They consist Of joy, anger, shame and
the many other emotions.
Sudden horror, remorse or fear, on
the contrary, influence the nerves which
control the blood vessels, and the face
becomes white. Blushing and pallor re-
suit from the sudden action of the mind
on the nervous system. So if the mind
be forewarned and prepared for emo
tions both habits can atleast be partially
overcome. But when the nervous sys-
tenn is highly strung it would be- life
long if not futile task to endeavor to eff
feet perfect cure. It is the sensitive.
nervous girl who bushes easily, while
the girl stolid by nature or who by edu-
cation has her nerves under perfect
control seldom bushes. Philadelphia

Discovery of Frozen Subterranean Lake
In Montana.
LEwIsTowN, Mon, Sept. 14.-About
Is miles north of Lewistown, Mon,
and two miles from the Gilt Edge
mine, there has been discovered cave
similar to none known in the United
States. The discovery was made by Mr..
Charles Kelly while prospecting. About
a week later a party of six, headed by
Mr.. Kelly and equipped with miners
lamps, axes, picks, ropes and overcoats.
visited the curious cave for the purpose
of exploration.
The party reached the entrance of the
cave about 10 o'clock in the morning
and Immediately began their investiga-
ton. The mouth of the cave is an ir-
regular crevice in the sloping ledge. For
distance of about 100 feet the bottom
is almost level, and the crevice widens
gradually to a width Of nearly 80 feet.
Then there is an incline Of about 20
degrees for distance of 80 yards. Here,
instead of rocky floor, solid body of
ice was found. Fifteen minutes of hard
work with the axes and picks showed
that the ice was solid to depth of more
than two feet.
The party continued their journey for
about three-fourths of mile from the
entrance till the winding avenues and
rooms made it hazardous to proceed far
ther, danger Of losing their way back to
daylight being imminent, owing to the
fact that compass carried by one of the
party had become useless on account Of
being affected by vast deposits of iron in
the walls of the cave. Much difficulty
would have been experienced in return
ing only for the forethought of a mem
Der of the party. who marked the route
taken by stroke. Of an ak.
The width of the cave varies at differ
ent points from % to 300 or 400 feet, and
the roof at some points reaches within
four feet of the ice, and in many places
SO high that it could not be seen by the
light given out by the lamps carried by
the explorers. At no point in the cave
was any water found, only an occasion
al dripping from the roof. In places
drafts of air were encountered that al
most extinguished the lamps carried.
Mr.. William Armeaux has located q
mineral claim at the entrance of the
cave, and i'll this way intends to secure
Il from the government.

Good Use Of a Flag,

In Havana there was one evening a
great row in the streets, and man was
killed. Every one ran away except an
Englishlnan, who did not see why he
should run off, but stopped to do what
he could for the wounded man. The
city was then, as it often was, under
martial law, and in a few minutes party
of soldiers came up and walked the Eng
1ishman off. He was tried then and there
by sort of drumnead court martial and
condemned to be shot the next morning
at s o'clock.
He managed to get the news conveyed
to the English consul, and at7:45 o'clock
next morning the consul appeared in his
coach and four, uniform, cooked hat and
sword. all his orders on, etc. The shoot
ing party were drawn out, and the
prisoner was there too. The consul
walked up to the officer commanding
the party and demanded the life of his
country1nan.
every sorry" said the officer, ''but I
must carry out my orders and he
showed the warrant signed by the gov
ernor. "Well," said the consul, "at
least you'll allow me to shake hands
with him before he dies" 81 can't re-
fuse that" was the reply. On which the
consul stepped up to the Englishman,
put his hand into his breast coat pocket,
drew out union jack, unfolded it,
threw it over the man and then said,
"There, now, fire if you dare!" The
lieutenant was staggered, the matter
was referred to the governor, and the
Englishman was saved.-London Spec

own gait, seldom hurried or concerned
as to getting through rapidly. The hard
part about reporting his speeches is that
he plunges right through and never stops
to permit an interruption, due to the
always hearty reception of his cleverest
points.
A peculiar thing about him is that
without apparent effort almost every
sound penetrates to the farthest end OF
the hall. His voice is high, and the pitch
penetrates everywhere. Professor Bryce,
in his work on American Common
wealths," condemns the hall of our house
of representatives as too large and as
destructive of either good speaking or
else of good thought, by requiring too
much physical exertion of the debaters
in order to make themselves heard.
Bourke Cochran, powerful as he is, finds
trouble in speaking in the house and
uses up great deal of physical energy
in making speech, but apparently it
comes as easy to Reed to make himself
heard in the house as it would in a pri-
vate room.
Mr.. Reeds manner in speaking is in
dicative throughout of self confidence
and disdain of the opposition. There is
not the least'suggestion that he can pos
sibly be wrong or that the other side can
be other than wholly wrong. It does not
matter if numbers are against him, and
if he knows his cause is lost the same
absolute conviction that he is right and
that he can afford to wait for time to
demonstrate the absolute and unquench-
able verities is apparent.
He seems an incarnation of the adage,
ssThe strong man is strongest when
alone" His gestures are all those of de-
fance and of assertion. He omits the
curling sweep of the right arm SO fire.
quently used by orators or the down
ward sweep of both arms frequently
used to denote emphasis. In its stead
the huge arm is drawn up until the BIZ
ceps appear to swell beneath the loose
coat sleeve and is then shot outward as
if daring the opposition to come on.
It takes debate and heat to draw him
out. Outwardly cool, he is inwardly
hot. He shows it after he has finished
talking and sits down to listen to the an
swer of the other side. His usual atti-
tude at this time is leaning forward, his
arm on his knee keeping large palm
leaf fan in vigorous motion.

THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING.

When you feel kind OF goneness about the
stomach it is sign that your food does not sit
well and that you are about to have fit OF in
digestion.
When you begin to feel nervous and are un-
able to sit still comfortably; when your clothes
suddenly seem to lose their fit and become too
tight in places the fitof indigestion is surely
upon you.
When this fit of Indigestion is repeated from
day to day it finally revolves itself into dyspep-
STA.
Remember that three to ten of BRANDRETH's
PILLS will cure the worst case of indigestion or
dyspepsia or both, and that regular course
of them, say two every night for week or ten
DAYS, will act as a preventive of either COM
plant. 81.
