Took Zip Ills Be.l and walked.

The praises of the hammock have
been sung in almost every tongue
and in nearly every cline, but it has
been reserved for Il young naval APP
prentice to make of himself a wan
derng advocate of its many comforts
and advantages.
He happened in at Il noted resort
IN the Orange Mountains. when the
mercury in the thermometer was
coquetting with the century mark
and asked for accommodations. The
clerk informed him that the house
was even then overclowdcd and said,
II haven't bed to give you, if you
paid me double rates..
Bed! Bed! / don't want any bed, -
returned the young tar, Il carry my
bed with me. All l want is my sup
per and place to wash up i'm the
morning. How much?" The clerk
quoted u price which was paid and
the naval apprentice disappeared into
the dining room, his bundle remain
ing in chair under the clock just
where he put it.
After supper he sauntercd forth
and spent couple of hours lounging
about the grounds, smoking, mean
while, a queer-looking but decidedly
fragrant pipe. Then he gathered up
his bundle from the chair under the
clock aud disappeared, and was seen
no more until something after mid
night, when every one else in the
house was wandering about in the
airiest of costumes, vainly searching
for slight breath of fresh air. Then
he was found sleeping sweetly and
comfortably in IL hammock swung
from the limb of IL fruit tree over a
carriage pathway behind the house.
He had noted the weather vane
carefully, taken his bearings as it
were and decided upon this spot
for his nights rest. 1t was about
the only place on the mountain to
which the breeze had access, and
soon dozens of weary slecplcss people
surrounded him and expressed their
envy III such loud voice that he
awokc. Instantly u dozen offers were
made for the hammock, but he re-
fused to part with it. II always car
ry it," he said, "and am therefore
never at a loss for the means of en-
joying good nights rest. If find
one place too hot, simply hunt out
another whether it be indoors or out,
and if there is any breeze stirring I
manage eventually to find out and
enjoy it,"
The next day dozens of people were
seen writing to New York trades
men, and nearly every envelope bore
the line, "Dealer in hammocks, etc. "

groovcd where the bones join, while
they increase in size toward the
hinder end of the complex bone thus
formed. This bOny core is invested
by skin also marked by grooves,
which correspond with those at the
functions of the three bones, and this
skin becomes much thickencd and SO
forms an incipient, imperfect rattle
OF such young snakes as have not yet
cast their skins. When it is cast,
the skin investing the tail close to
its termination is not cast off, but is
held fast by the enlarged end of the
bOny core before mentioned.
The piece of skin thus retained bc-
comes Il loose ring in front Of the in
cipient rattle and thus forms IL first
joint OF ring of the future perfect
rattle. The same process is repeated
at each moult, IL fresh loose ring or
additional joint to the perfect rattle
being thus formed every time the
skin is shed. Thus the perfect rattle
comes ultimately to consist of num-
ber of dry, hard. more or less loose
horny rings, and in this way II rattle
may consist of as many aus twenty-onc
co-cxisting rattling rings. 1t is the
shaking of these rings by Il violent
and rapid wagging of the end of the
snakes tail which produces the cele-
brated rattling sountl--:, sound which
may be compared to the rattling of IL
number of peas i'm a rapidly shaken
paper bag.

CHINESE PIRATES.
A Yankee Shippers Adventure or the
Canton Coast.

A Yankee Shippers Adventure or the
Canton Coast.
II once had an adventure with pi-
rates on the coast of Canton" said
Captain Ben Archie, retired ship
master. II was outward bound from
Boston in the Sarah Lee, and was
carrying an assorted cargo of cOnsid-
erable value. / lost two men on the
trip out, five very sick, and the six
left were scarce sufficient to work
the ship, much less to fight for her.
We were working along slowly one
day against a light head wind. when
three junks, we'll loaded with villain-
Gus looking frecbooters bore down
upon us. Their appearance did not
worry me much, us we had two brass
six-pounders aboard. and had loaded
them myself, and loaGrd them for
bear. Besides, the men all had side
arms. and l had Il doublc-barreled
ducking gun loaded with buckshot.
waited until the foremost junk was
within four hundred yards. when l
trained the bow gun upon it's crowded
decks and applied the match. To
my surprise it would not fire. ran
the printing rod down into the vent
and found that the powder was soak
ing wet. hurried to the other gun
and found it in the same condition.
We had shipped a coolie cook IL few
days before, and he had spiked my
battery with a cup of water l
caught him just as he was about to
for Al,
junks, placed him at the wheel, and
ordered him to remain there under
pain of death. disposed my six
men around the decks to repcl board
ers, and when the foremost junk was
within fifty yards l swept it's deck
with my big doubled-barrelled duck
gun. A bomhshell dropped into the
pulsating heart of a colorcd camp
meeting would not create such a
panic. The junks all fell off. The
pirates manuvered. gcsticulated and
yelled for an hour; then they tried it
again, all three keeping close to-
gethcr. divided the barrels be.
tween two of them, and they again
fell off with Il shrieking and jabbcr-
ing that would have shamed pandc-
monium. They did not attack again.
but kept along with us. They were
evidently waiting for nightfall. when
they would make a concerted attack
under cover of darkness. l tell you
it was not a pleasant outlook. Just
as the sun was going down a British
man-of-war hove in sight. / was
never much IN love with the union
jack, but l tell you l was never SO
glad to see anything in my life. She

Doubted the Queens Honesty.

1t is we'll known that the Queen,
when residing at Balmoral castle,
loves to go about in simple guise
among the poor cottcrs of the neigh.
boring district. and i'm the course of
her journeyihgs incidents worthy of
recording occasionally happen
Orc of these, VIII ch may prove of
interest. is the following:
One day her majesty was caught in Il
shower and entered the dwelling of an
old woman, whose eyesight must have
been dim. for she did not recognize
her sovereign.
"Will you lend me an umbrella?
said the Queen, whodid not happen
to have one with her.
The old woman stared at her ques.
tiOner for some little time, but at
last. seemingly convinced as to the
rcspectability of her visitor. in Il
grudging tone replied:
81 hae twa umbrellas Ane o.
them's guide ane t'ither's naur as
auld and worthless as myself. Yc
may TAX the auld ane but doobt I'll
maybe meier sect ag'in."
She then protfered a ragged article,
whose whalebonc ribs might be seen
sticking here and there through the
torn cover. Her majesty took the
umbrella, which was better than
nothing, and went forth in the rain,
not by one word betraying her rank.
The next day a servant of the royal
household brought the wretchcd CAMP
to the old woman. who then became
aware as to whom she had lent it.
Gay, ay." exclaimed the old body,
shocked and grieved at having missed
such an opportunity of winning
smile from the queen. "Dod keeps,

Wonders of Physical Energy.

The physical energy of force some.
times cXcrted by the human body has
long been known to he of the most
astounding nature, but no one, prior
to the tabulations made bv DIR.
Rucheister in 1890, ever took the
trouble to put that cNcrted force he.
fore the people in figures that could
he understood. Tho doctor "supposcsr
things in this way: Suppose a noun
taineer weighing l6s pounds is max
ing the ascent of a peak 1000 feet
high. To begin with, he must on
pend an amount of physical force
equal to that found by multiplying
his weight by the height to bc as
cendcd. In the case assumed, 4
weight of l6s pounds, multiplied by
a heighth of 1000 feet, equals 1876, !
600 foot-pounds; or, i'm other words,
1,l76, 900 pounds have to l,c lifted one
foot. But this is not all. I'hc-con-
fractions of the muscles OF the heart
have to be taken into account. which
is represented 10y sour foot-pounds of
work with each contraction, the pull
satiOns of an adult heart being about,
seventy-two per minute: in ascending
heights it is much greater. But as
suming 100 beats of the pulse per
minute, for simplicity of calculation,
this would give 400 foot-pounds per
minute, or $4,000 foot-pounds per
hour, or 100000 foot-pountls for the
five hours supposed to be required
for ascending the 1000 feet. For eN.
pansion and contraction of the chest
and other muscles Il further item of
10000 foot-pounds must bc added.
Thus we find tho total work per-
formed during the five hours of noun.
tain-climbing to be equal to 1896
600 foot-pounds, not counting other
forces excrted, which DIR. Bucheistct
says will run the grand total up tn
