but many years must have elapsed since
the burial. for the graves contained
nothing uut bones. Willis ordered
them TO be closed again and the crosses
TO be replaced. The truth concerning
the wreck on Browse island had again
escaped Willis and his companions. II
four human beings had been buried on
this spot, what had become of him who
had rendered them this last service?
And he, too, when death struck him
down, where had he fallen? Would
they not find his bones on some other
part of the island? Capt Willis could
not bring himself to think so.
"Why shouldn't this wreck be the
Dreadnaught?" asked one of the sea-
men.
"But why should it?" replied Zach.
The fact Is that there was nothing
TO show that il was the Dreadnaught
that had gone to pieces on the reefs of
Browse island, and the outlook was
that this second cruise of the Molly's
Hope was fated TO end as fruitlessly as
the first.
Capt. Willis stood with his gaze r.v-
eted upon the spot where these poor
castaways were now sleeping that last
sleep which alone had been able to put
an end to their misery. Were they
Americans? Were they his country
men? Were they of those whom the
Molly's Hope was seeking?
Forward to the signal!' he cried ont
Zach and the others followed him as
he made his way up the rocky slope by
which the promontory Is Joined TO the
body of the island.
When Willis and his men had reached
the signal they found the staff TO be Sc
curely set in a deep split In the rock, a
fact which explained its having re-
mained standing 30 long. AS they had
already discovered by meanslof glass,
the staff was the broken end Of bow
spirit and had come from the wreck be-
low. AS 10 the rag nailed TO IL. IL was
nothing but shred Of sail, unraveled

A Lost Portrait Found.

The Baltimore San says that the lost
portrait of Washington by Ramage has
been discovered in the possession of Mr..
Harrison ). Stabler, a baHk clerk in that
city. The portrait was painted in 1889 by
John Ramage, an Irishman, and at that
time the most distinguished miniature
painter of New York. 1t was painted on
ivory in an oval about two and three
tourths inches wide and mounted ex-
ouisitely in gold. The back has a
glass face, inclosing lock of nut-brown
hair, supposed to be that of Martha
Washington, for whom the portrait was
painted, as is witnessed by note in
Washington's handwriting still extant.
The detail of the figure is microscopic.
The whole face-eyes, nose, mouth, chin
and observation-disclosures the wonderful
strength of the man. 1t is a face full of
character and power, but not handsome.
Ramage evidently tried to paint the man,
not the Father of his Country for his
portrait shows no attempt at idealism, as
do those of Trumbu and Gilbert Stuart.
The face is thinner than the faces shown
in the Stuart portrait and some other Dor
traits, for Washington, when he sat for
Ramage, had evidently not thoroughly
recovered the flesh he had lost in the ILL
ness which came near costing the country
the life of the first President and it's
greatest man. The flesh tints of the face
are exquisite and are deeper on the
cheeks and lower part of the face, while
they shade of at the forehead. There has
been some discussion as to the color of
Washington's eyes. The miniature shows
them to have been blue. The dress worn
by the General when the portrait was
made was his uniform as COMMANDMENT
Chief of the Continental army-the blue
coat with the lace coming about the high
black stock and falling over the front of
his walstcoat. From the third button
hole in the left lapel of the coat hangs the
ribbon of the Society of the Cincinnati, of
which he was President.

History of St. Valentine.

st. Valentine was an Italian priest who
suffered martyrdom at Rome in go, or at
Terni in 306, writes Florence Wilson in
the LADIES' Home Journal. Historians
differ as to the date. Legend amplifies.
by dwelling on the virtues of his life and
the manner of his death, and tells how he
was brought before the Emperor Claudius
IL, who asked him why he did not Guilt
vate his friendship by honoring his gods.
AS Valentine pleaded the cause of the one
true God earnestly, Calphurnius, the
priest, cried out that he was seducing the
Emperor, whereupon he was sent to AS
terius to be judged. To him Valentine
spoke of Christ. the light of the world,
and Asterius said: "If He be the light of
the world, He will restore the light to my
daughter, who has been blind for two
years" The maiden was brought, and
after Valentine prayed and laid hands on
her she received her sight. Then Asterus
asked that he and his household might be
baptized, whereat the Emperor being en-
ragged, caused all to be imprisoned, and
Valentine to be beaten with clubs. He
was beheaded year later at Rome OH
February IA, go.
History, having little to tell concerning
the man, makes amends by dwelling at
length on the ceremonies observed on this
day. They trace the origin of these to the
Roman Lupercalia, celebrated in Febru-
airy, at which one practice was to put the
names of women in box TO be drawn by
the men, each being. bound to serve and
honor the woman whose name he had
drawn.

A BALLAD OF A SHIELD.

1t was all of shield on a tree
hung nigh so that Iassers might see;
from the south it shone forth
Like golu; from the north
II was silver as silver could be.
And this is the tale that is told
VI a night that was toughten OF old
by Sir Hugh, who Lad seen
But its silyery sheen,
And Sir Arthur, who swore it was gold.
They met with their lances in rest,
AND shock that had shaken the best
Sir Arthur was sound
As he leapt to the ground,
But Sir Hugh had dint in his breast
Then neither spake ever word,
But out from the scaobard the sword;
And the blade of Sir Hugh
Found II little way through,
ANA Sir Arthur was down on the sward.
Sir Arthur declared ii was weH,
but pang like torture of hell
Smil. Sir Hugh at the sight
vi Tie b !ood-dappled knight,
ana then he too staggered and fell.
But now, in the fight they had crost,
And they looked through the boughs a.
they tost,
when gold on the blue
Was the shield TO Sir Hugh,
To Sir Arthur as silver as frost.
Then neither could speak if he tried,
But each stretched an arm from his side:
With smile on the lip,
And the ghost OF grip,
Ihey loved one another and died.

The French Jury system.

The Assize Court is composed 6f an
Assize Judge and two assistant Judges.
The jury are seated in the courtroom to
the right of the Judge. They have no
special costume, but wear their ordinary
dress. Sometimes they appear in blouseS
The prisoner faces the jury. They ask
no direct questions, but may interropate
the prisoner or witnesses, throuph the
Judge, on any point likely to afford them
information, and may also demand to see
all articles offered in evidence by the pub
lie prosecutor to prove the prisoners
quit: 1hey near the argument of the
public prosecutor, who pleads for the in
dictment which he has prepared. and
then those OF the defense, and form a
truly enlightened opinion from the demo-
sitionS OF the witnesses on both sides.
When the trial is concluded the judge. in
the presence of the court, reads to the
jury the questions which are submitted
to them, and reminds them of the duties
which they are to perform. 1t is usually
q question of the honor or dishonor of a
family; of life or death for fellow man.
In the center of the room is a long table
with six separate partitions or boxes on
each side. At the head of the table is
box for the foreman, containing wooden
urn. From the moment the iury enter
this room they are alone. The foreman
puts the questions to them and they dis
cuss them. The jury is usually divided
into two almost equal camps. There are
the indulgent ones, who answer the most
incontrovertible evidence with the ever
lasting what does that proven" and
there are those who, even when the crime
is but i'll proved, declare that society
must be rid of such people," The fore
man finds it hard to seize the opportune
moment when the jury are almost agreed
in their readiness or reluctance to vote
one way or the other. Then he states the
question anew. The jurymen seat them
selves at the table, each in his box, where
he cannot see what his neighbors write.
One by one they rise and place their
folded ballots in the urn. The form of
the ballot is: Upon my honor and my
conscience declare that" etc.-Madame

VAST POWER OF THE AIR.
Energy Which Amounts to Billion
and Billions of Foot Tons.

@-hOAt~S w HUI AMOUNTS 10 billions
and Billions of Foot Tons.
The magnitude of the store of aerial
energy upon which mankind may draw,
SO long as the race exists upon this earth,
is beyond the reach of the Imagination to
conceive, but not beyond the power OF
computation of the mathematician, says
the Engineering Magazine. Taking the
quantities roughly and in ''round num-
bers," the atmosphere weighs about a
ton to every square foot of the earth's
surface-25, O00,000 tons per square mile,
or o,0OO, 900 900, 100000 tons on the total OF
2U,O0O,OOO square miles. Its energy is
that due to the motion of this inconceiv-
able mass, at velocitieS varying all the
way from the gentlest zephyr to the hur-
rlcane and the cyclone, rushing over
the prairie or along the surface of the
sea at more than one hundred miles per
hour. a cubic mile of air weighs about
10000, 100000 pounds, and at the rate OF
motion of the cyclone develops !, OOO, OO0,-
100000 foot tons'' of energy.
If all employed at this rate for the per-
formance OF work, useful or destructive,
this $4,000 900, 100000 foot pounds'i
would be equivalent to more than 2,0OO,-
O,000, 100000 horse power. II the dis
turbance reaches the exterior of the at
mospheric shell iuclosing the earth it en-
bodies 10000, 600, 900, 900, 900, horse power
or millions of times as much as the highest
estimates make the probable whole steam
power of the world at the end of the
nineteenth century. Assuming the mod
crate velocity of 1871 miles an hour for the
whole atmosphere of the globe, its energy
per mile is e-thirty-sixth of that lust
computed, and 5000, 0OO, 900. 900. 600 tons OF
atmosphere would represent about sc, 0OO,-
900, 600, 000,0 600 foot tons of energy and not
far from 90, 000, 200, 200, 900 horse power.
This Is certainly more than 800, 900 times
as much power as have all the engines in
the world combined. Each cubic mile
would store 100000 horse power, and
every square mile, could 100 feet of its
superintendent atmosphere be utilized,
would yield about 81, OO0,OOO horse power,
which is not far from the aggregate of the
existing steam power of the world.
