But then IL won't hurt 20 look at 10 and
see how the great American centerboard
is getting on Then she will receive her
final "tuning up" and be ready for bust
ness.
Through the kindness Of Capt. Hansen
was permitted to explore the interior Of
the Vigilant. This prepared me 10 refute
any statement that "a yacht built for rae
ing would be useless for pleasure craft.
Her interior is both roomy and well
lighted, and with the furnishings of an
ordinary pleasure yacht would be luxur-
ious. AS she is now i'm racing rig, there is
not a superfous pound on board. No
furniture except what isabsolutely neces-
sary, and the actual necessities to an en-
thusiasic yachtsman can be limited to
astonishingly little.
The Vigilant's interior is ivided dinto
four compartments; the largest is the
fOrecastle which is the sleeping and eat
ing room for the crew Around two sides
are three tiers of hunks rising like steps
owing to the peculiar swell of the hull
These fold back against the wall com
pletely out of the way. In one corner is
a small cooking stove with few, a very
few, pots, pans and skillets to keep it
company.
just back of the forecastle and in the
center of the yacht is the compartment
containing the machinery for raising and
lowering the centerboard. The machine
is of the pattern of an ordinary winch,
with large crank on each side The
centerboard is connected with the winch

Only the other day the English papers
contained a story Of q young girl Of New
castle who had fOOlisniy accepted an offer
Of marriage from a young Chinese naval
officer, named Ling, who had been sent to
Europe 10 study gunuCry. All protests
on the part Of her parents were
silcnccd by the apparent sincerity OF
his attachment and by the fact
that he pTOfessed TO be a Christian. His
mansion in China was most i'm
pressiVely described, and the girls par
euts were asked TO picture her living in
orange groves and plants Of exquisite
beauty. The infatuated girl threw In her
lot with that Of the celestial and started
with him for China Two years later she
was sent home by one Of the missionary

Empress Catherine ii Of Russia was n

OF her services TO letters in Russia was
the purchase of the libraries OF Voltaire

and admirer Of these French philoso-
piers, and their work interested her he
cause she was eager to learn new theo-
ries OF politics and government. Vol
taire's library Of about 1000 volumes is
now q part Of the Russian imperial Ii.
brary in the Hermitage palace, and in
the hall devoted to it is Houdon's statue
of Voltaire.
The story Of GATHERINGS purchase q.
Diderofs library is interesting. It is
cretiitable to her tact and her generosity,
Diderot named ci5,Oc0 as the price Of
his library. Catherine II offered him
C16,0O0 and named - . condition of the
bargain that her purchase should remain
with Diderot until his death. Thus Did

HIS DYING WISH.
A Pilot Buried on Sunday With Mar
tial Music,

When the veteran pilot. Captain Thomas

last requests 10 make. 81 want brass
band at my funeral and l want to be buried
on Sunday" was his solemn parting in
junction. Though he died on Monday, the
9th inst, his wishes were carried out to the
letter, aud his remains, after being kept at
his residence for six days, were buried yes
terday afternoon.
The funeral service was held In the
Masonic Temple. An escort of Knights
Templar. California Pioneers. Companions
OF the Military Order of the Loyal Legion
and members of the Society Of California
volunteers. headed by brass band. turned
out to render the last hOnOrs TO their de-
ceased associate.
Captain Knlpe was the only member Of
the Society of California Y olunteers whose
veteran service in war times was in the
United States navy. a few months ago he
was elected 10 mem bership i'm the Loyal
Legion. In his speech at the first banquet
of that order which he attended he said
there were in the United States two OTgani-
cations in his membership in which he took
particular pride. for the reason that no man
could buy bis way into either. One was the
Society OF California Pioneers and the
other was the COmmandery OF the Loyal
Legion.
lie cause OF captain hnlpeS 1atal illness
was until yesterday, known to only few
Of his most intimate friends. 1t appears
that on his last trip outside the heads in the
pilot boat Lady Mine he had a narrow
escape from drowning. In attempting to
board a ship when heavy sea was running
he fell overheard. After he was rescued he
lay down in his bunk without changing his
clothes. In this way he contracted a severe
cold which induced the attack of pneumonia
to which he Succumbed. He was in his
seven tieth year and one of the most popular
pilots on the Pacific Coast.

THE POWER OF WORDS.
An Interesting Bible Lesson by Mrs.
COoper's Class.

cooper (idSS.
Mrs. Cooper reported on a busy week in
the kiudergartens. Visitors from New
Zealand had expressed a great interest in
the schools visited and were amazed TO see
the little children at their occupations. Two
other distinguished visitors. from London,
had been gathering facts and figures in
regard to the kinGerGarten as a preventive
of crime. They are 10 report back to Par
lament 4 letter from the superintendent
OF temperance WOT 10 Lincoln, NebT., was
read, asking for details with reference to
starting a kindergarten in that city.
he words Of Nehemiah and his fervent
prayer constitute cur lesson today" said
Mrs. Cooper as she opened her class yester-
day. No one can measure the effect Of his
own lie and words. Everything depends
upon the spirit back OF the words ii is the
word fifty spoken that has life and power In
IL. Cast forth thy word into the ever
living, ever-Working universe. It is a seed
grain that cannot die. UnnOticed to-day, 1t
Will be found fiourishing as bauyan grove :;
perhaps, alas, as hemlOck forest, after
thousand years. Let your word be true IL
you would have the banyan grove with its
benefcent shade"
The teacher went on to show how eagerly
Nehemiah sought to free his brethren from
captivity There is nothing mOresprecious
than freedom, even when there are great
hardships connected with 1t. We must not
fetter the growing twig. 1t is terrible
wrong TO put gives and letters on the hui
man body. But 1t is far more terrible TO
manace the human mind and soul. The
tidings concerning the captiyes were brought
to Nehemiah by very obscure man. The
story of human destiny is a story Of OBJ
securities. 1t Is the obscure influences that
create the renown Of the great and illustTi-
Gus men Of this world. Many secret torch
has set fire to a noble life. Many toiling,
heroic mother has sent forth son from her
cabin home whose life has llumiDed the
world. The day Of secret toll may be the
birthday OF renOwn. The day Of small
things may be the birthday of great events.
