A young man had been to sea, and on
his return was narrating to his uncle an
adventure which he had met with on board
ship.
Il was one night leaning over the taft
rail, looking down into the ocean" said
the nephew, who was called William.
when my gold watch fell from my chain
and Immediately sank out of sight. The
ship was going ten knots an hour, but.
nothing daunted, sprang over the rail,
down, down, and after a long search found
the watch, came up, and chased the ship
and climbed back to the deck without any
one knowing I had been absent.v
William" said his uncle, II believe
thee, but there's many a thousand that
would not"
"Whatp exclaimed William. lyon are

william" " said the old man gravelv.
'thee knows I never call anybody names
but If the mayor OF the city were to come
and say, Josiah, want thee to find the
biggess liar In all Brummagem,i / would
come TO thee and put my hand on thy

Country Lads.

Boys who are fortunate enough to be
born In the country have unmistakable ad-
vantages over city lads The country Is
the place Of all others to be born in. The
associations Of youth, Of home, Of school,
winter, and the farm work and play mixed
together in a delightful tangle, are never
rooted out, but grow deeper into the char
acter and become dearer to the being while
life passes and the revolving years hold ont.
It is worth more than a university edu-
cation to have been born and brought up
on a farm, Of well TO do parents. That
supplies what no learning from the books
ever can. That is a resource that stands
by. It is something to feed upon.
And If the boy as a man engages in bust
ness or a profession, be has a stock OF
health and sound constitution to draw
upon that will be sure to carry him tri-
umphantly through when the city boys are
giving way all along the road. Morally
and physically he has by far the best Of it.

A Dream rulanea.

There have been few physical experience.
Of more interest and possible value to re
search than these connected with the sick.
ness and death OF the late John @. Bundy,
editor Of The iigio-philosoDhical Jour
nal. A very striking one 50 given in the
memorial number Of the Journal which
/ he has beon.connected with for many years.
At the time Of Mr. BUndy's approach to
the other side Of life's veil his eldest sister,
/ Mrs. Frances Bundy Phillips, was in Col
orado, whittier sho had gone seeking health
and strength. Though aware Of her broth
er's protractcd Illness, she did not know
how very serious that illness was, bat on
the night lie passed away she had two sin
gular physical experiences. All the even
ing she felt q remarkable sadness and de-
preston Of spirits, so much so that because
of it she refused to join a party Of her
friends at the hotel, who asked her to share
in some social pastime going on among
them. She went to bed at the usual hour,
and dreamed that Mr.. Bundy had passed
away and that she was present at his fu-
neral, many Of the particulars Of which
her dream foretold correctly-for instance
in her dream she heard sung distinctly one
Of the musical selections rendered by Miss
Mcdonald at the services at st. Charles
viz, Lead, Kindly Light"
When she rose next morning she glanced
at the clock in her room for the time and
discovered that it had stopped. She exam
ined it to discover the reason for its stop
ping but could lnd none. This fact and
her dream 50 worried her that, though She
had promised and intended to accompany
q party into the mountains for a pleasure
trip in the morning, she felt so sure that a
telegram with bad news was coming for
her that she declined going, and remained /
at the hotel waiting the news, which came /
before noon. The telegram gave the hour /
when her brother depaSed, and the time |
at which the clock stopped was the same |
hour, allowing for the difference between
Colorado and Chicago time,-Boston Tran

scotol, Dress.

The dress Of the last century survived to
within living memory. DR.. Gregor, the
venerable minister Of Pitsligo, thus de
scribed to me his mothers preparations
for church; "On her head she placed a
skull cap to keep the hair up, and over
that fine linen cap, lying quite fiat, fol-
lowed by broad ribbon going round the
head and fastened behind. Over all came
a band Of thin cambric, drawn into a
ruching on the top and havinga broad. fiat
border, showing the hair on the edge Her
outer dress was red cloak with a hood
and made Of fine wool Her ordinary er-
rand going cloak was a duffel of blush
gray. My father at kirk and fair wore a
long coat, with brass buttons, Of blush
cloth, and for a working dress homemade
clothes, with smaller coat Of homespun
wool. On all occasions he wore knee
breeches. "-Blackwood's Magazine.

According to experiments which have
been conducted by Herr Arthur Holle, of
Munich, with view to manufacturing
iron casks suitable for transport purposes.
it is demonstrated that simple coating of
the interior Of the barrel with various
kinds Of lacquer, enameling, and also tin
ming, zincking, nickeling and coppering are
unsuitable. In the end the German tech
nologist found that the lacquered sheet
iron was best adapted to the object in
view, but he endeavored, at the same
time, to secure a fitting insulating coat
ing by means Of an intermediate LAYER.
Strong paper, it was shown, became de-
composed; the use of thin gauze material
was also pronounced to be impractioable.
The best intervening agent proved to be
silk paper.
The operation Of applying the coating
was as follows: The interior Of the barrel
was first lacquered; the tissue paper was
then evenly put in position with the aid of
some varnish, and finally it was furnished
with finishing coat of lacquer. The COW
ering thus obtained resisted the influence
Of heat, moisture, and of acids which were
much stronger than those contained and
developed in beer. 1t is to be noted that
special kind Of lacquer is used, so that the
fluid may not SAVIOR Of the varnish.-Iion-

Fuel on Large ocean Steamer.


Ocean steamers consume much more
fuel than the average person is aware Of
Take, for an instance, the vessels of the
Orient line, which make regular trims
between Australia and Great Britain.
The fastest steamer Of that line is the
Austral, which makes the voyage from
London to Sydney in thirty-fve days.
During the "trip ont" she never uses
less than 1850 tons of coal, and on the
return voyage often as much as 4.OOO
tons. She has three coaling stations,
and bunkers that will hold 1880 tons
without overcrowding. English-Amer-
ican liners" like the Oregon consume
$50 tons Of coal per day for every day
between Liverpool and New York.
The Sterling Castle went to China for
q load of tea. She brought back a cargo
Of 1900 tons of that staple Chinese com

stantly kept on hand at st. Vincent,
Madeira, Port Said, Singapore and other
oriental coaling stations, there often be-
ing;as much as 100000 tons in store at

moved as if his tail were pivot, al

agreed to bandage his eyes and SHOOT
the snake in the mouth.
The writer bandaged the lndian'i

and asks no better foundations for
What he lives in than his own back.
Reing his own landlord, he is not

Where'er he dwells he dwells alone;
Except himself has chattels none,

Income tax collectors gnash their
teeth over him, for if, they assess him
on his house property he walks out

One Of the Most Pathetic Tragedies Of tn,
Atlantic Coast.

One Of the Most Pathetic Tragedies Of the
Atlantic Coast.
One of the most terrible tragedies
Of the Atlantic coast was the loss of
the steamship Evening Star with $50
of her passengers and crew 240 miles
northeast of the Matanila reef, on
Oct. 8, 1866. The Evening Star was
on her way from New York to New
Orleans and was rolled about for
long time in a constantly increasing
storm. At o'clock on the morning
of Oct. 8 a vast mountain Of water
fell on the deck and stove in the
starboard forward gangway. A bulk
head was hurriedly erected to keep
the water out, but it was swept
away. Four times the crew rebuilt
the bulkhead, only to see the waves
tear it taway. The rudder was thrown
out of gear, and the sea made a clean
breach over the ship.
Men and women alike helped to
bail the water out of the vessel, but
the sea poured in irresistibly. The
captain told the passengers that
there was little hope left, but urged
them to be cool. Among the passen-
gers were the members Of French
opera company, and the prima donna
worked at the buckets like the rest.
Just about dawn the captain sol
emnly addressed the crew and pas
sengers. He told them that the ship
must 60 down. Men and women
rushed about the deck yelling, tear
ing their clothes off and plunging
into the seething sea. There were
several lifeboats, but they could not
be lowered in such waves. So the
boats remained on the deck and
were loaded with people, who wait
ed for the Evening Star to sink
The captain wept and bade farewell
to his companions. The crew main
tanned good discipline, In an houl
the ship gave a lurch and plunged
down into the ocean. The crowded
lifeboats were sucked under, and th'
sea was full of men and women call
ing in vain for help. Scores of then
were crushed into shapeless masse
by the driftwood that swirled aroun'
the wreck. The last person to leay
the ship before she sank was an ltal
ian prima donna, who waited calml,,
until all hope was gone, and whel
she felt the first convulsion OF tn
vessel as it prepared to go down sh
raised her hands, moved her lips a
if in prayer and plunged into tn
roaring waters, never to be see
again. m

The Facts the Other Way.

It has lately been stated that some
wears ago Prince Bismarck was anx'
ions TO induce the Duke of Edinburgh
to surrender his right to the (Saxe-
Coburg) succession in consideration
of a pecuniary indemnity. TINS
happens to be just the reverse OF the
truth If Prince Bismarck had really
entertained such wish, the Duke OF
Edinburgh would practically nave
mad no alternative but to acqulesce,
AS a matter of fact, however 1t was
Duke Alfred who desired to sell tne
reyersionary interest OF hlmsen anu
his son, and in 1876 the queen went
70 BADEN Baden and had confer
ence with the old Emperor William
in the hope of being able to arrange
satisfactory terms. After a grea,
deal of haggling the negotiations
fell through because the duke stlpu
lated for a sum paid down, wherea
