PUT OIL ON THE WATER.
Rough Voyage Of the Lord Cairns
Around the Horn.

The British ship Lord Cairns
dropped anchor in the bay late
yesterday afternoon and ended a
very rough voyage of 131 days
from Swansea, says the San Fran
cisco Examiner of August %. The
vessel had hardly got out of sight
of the coast Of Cornwell when the
gales commenced, and for three
days the handsome big ship was
tossed about so violently that there
was danger of her masts being
shaken out of her. Captain Davis
said that he had never seen seas
run so high as they did during
that storm, but before he reached
port storms were encounted that
far exceeded that for severity.
Oil bags were hung out, and the
crew reports that they had
wonderful effect. Hardly a drop
of water was taken on the deck
during the whole three days that
the big ship was made the play
thing Of the storm. Fair weather
followed and good time was made
until the Horn was almost within
sight. Then the gales commenced
again. Lightning accompanied
the storm and it flashed SO wildly
about the ship that the men ex-
pected every moment that she
would be struck. Oil bags were
again hung over the sides and the
heavy seas were kept from doing
any serious damage. The Horn
was passed after a hard struggle
and the men were prepared for a
smooth voyage up the Pacific
Coast when they were struck by a
storm that was worse than any
thing they had yet met. The
wind came in such force for few
hours that oil had very little effect.
Waves ran a tremendous height
and from all directions. Seas fire.
quently washed the decks, but
with little damage until a tower
ing mountain of water seemed to
fall almost perpendicularly down
on the decks. The men saw it
coming and sought shelter In the
forecastle. They were none too
soon in getting out of the way. The
whole deck was turned into foam
ing sea filed with wreckage. The
port lifeboat was picked up from
its skids and smashed to kindling
wood against the mast. A stout
hencoop on the deck was crushed
to atoms and the fowls were wash
ed overheard. The side of the
companionway was stove in with
the weight Of water and the cabins
were f1ooded. To make the wreck
more complete the bobstays gave
way and all the gear about the
topmast and topgallant mast was
broken. 1t took nearly a week to
repair the damage and all that
time the big ship was rolling about
almost under bare poles, hoping
for better weather and depending
on oil on the water to pre-
vent the almost total destruction
of the vessel.

THE USE OF TOES.
Sailors Who Grip a Rope With
Their Feet.

The question as to the use of toes
in walking is attracting some atten-
ton, and, contrary to some rather
authoritative statements, it is assert
ed definitely that the toes do work
in walking. Thus DR.. r. Barnes,
writing to the Lancet, says: I'VE
are not yet SO degenerate from our
simian sires as to have quite lost this
faculty. But to be seen in perfection
we must look to those men and
women who do not wear boots. / do
not refer alone to savage races, but
to men of all countries, especially
those engaged in certain trades, who
turn their toes to useful account.
Striking examples are found among
Lascar and Italian sailors. L have
seen an italian sailor climb a single
rope, Selling it with his hands and
toes alternately, the grip of the toes
being as strong as that of the hands.
The use of the toes is very much a
matter of early training and use.
The complaint is made that if so
distinguished a surgeon and anat-
omist as Sir g. Humphrey says that
the toes are of little or no use, what
hope is there of inducing a shoe
maker to make boot that will really
fit the foot?

Long Drift of a Bottle.

In pursuance of its systematic
efforts to accurately define the great
ocean currents, the naval hydro
graphic office has received an ocean
current report that was thrown
overheard from the British steam
ship Maine, Capt. Bouquet, October
u, 1891, in north latitude 4S'40,
west longitude 21'34-position on
the transatlantic steamer routes
about $50 miles southwest from the
coast of Ireland. 1t was found by
Robert Gray off Mangrove Cove, on
the eastern side of Great Inagua
Island, Bahama, May s, 1694 In
this interval Of thirty-one I.vaths
the bottle containing this report
most likely skirted the coasts of
Europe and Africa, and then cross
ed the Atlantic west in the equa-
torial current, drifting about 5000
miles.

A deputy assessor called at sub
urban residence few days ago and
asked the lady Of the house to I'll out
her statement Of assessable property.
She had never made out statement
before, this public duty having been
attended to by her husband in prev
ious years.
In some way she was under the I'M
preston that the statement of her
effects would be published in the
daily papers, and she was anxious to
let her neighbors know what she had.
"Have you a piano. madame" asked
the deputy assessor.
IL have, and fine one, too"
"What is it WORTH"
"Not cent less than a thousand
dollars"
"What is your household furniture
worth?"
AT least twenty-five hundred
dollars"
The assessor glanced at the rag
carpet doubtfully, but put it down at
that.

said.

"They are of very fine breed and

"Chickens, five hundred dollars. I"
he repeated, as he filled out the
blank.

you have not any franchises to
assess, have you?"
"No.o," she responded doubtfully.
"But i think my husband has three

thousand dollars apiece, can't you?"
Certainly, madam. The total is
four thousand, nine hundred and
fifty dollars. Is that almost right?"
you might make it round five
thousand dollars.
Her husband has been haunting
the assessors office ever since in an
effort to convince that official that
his wife was playing a joke on the
deputy when she swore to that state
ment.

Feeding Large Hogs.

Professor Sanborn made above one
hundred actual feeding tests with
hogs Of various weights, using vari-
Gus foods and employing about 400
hogs. He found that on the average
a certain amount of food being re-
quired to make a pound Of gain on
pigs weighing thirty-five pounds, 3.3
per cent more food was required to
make the same gain on pigs weighing
seventy pounds, IA per cent more on
pigs weighing 125 pounds, 10 per
cent. on pigs weighing lis pounds,
% per cent. more on hogs weighing
225 pounds, and so on up until Il per
cent more feed was required on hogs
weighing 325 pounds. So that it ap-
pears that hog fed at a fair profit
until 1t reached 200 pounds would be
fed at loss shortly after 1t had
passed that weight, and IL fed up to
$50 or 400 pounds all profit would be
destroyed.

An Astonished Bra 2 gar

When Louis Napoleon was Presi-
dent of the French republic, the
commander at Lyons was General
Castellane, an old soldier, whose
stern rule kept In check the Red Re-
publicans of that disorderly city. One
of the most boisterous of these was a
barber, who openly boosted that he
only waited for the opportunity Of
Kidding the city of its stern COM
mander. The General heard Of the
threat, and one afternoon ordered
his coachman to drive to the BARRIERS
shop. Leaving his carriage, the Gen.
eral, unattended, entered the shop.
took a seat in q vacant chair, and
desired the barber to shave him. The
astonished braggart performed the
operation as we'll as his nervousness
would permit. When he had finished,
the General, while paying him,
quietly said: Monsieur, since you
have not availed yourself of the OPP
portunity to cut my throat which /
have given you, would 1t not be well
for you to refrain from uttering
threats that you have not the cour-
age to carry out?"

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the'needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug

Ingenious Smuggling i'm Russia.

One of the most ingenious devices
for smuggling was detected in Russia
net long ago. A great number of false
bank notes had heen put into circula-
tion within the dominions of the G ar.
They could only have been imported,
and although the strictest search was
made habitually over every vessel en-
tering a Russian port, no trace of the
smuggling of false notes was dis
covered. Accident, however, at last
brought the mystery to light. 1t hap
pened that several cases of lead pencils
arrived one day from England, and
while being examined one of them fell
out from package and the custom
house oincer, picking it up, cut it to a
point and used it to sign the order
which delivered up the pencils to the
consignee. He kept the loose PENCIL
fer his own use and few days after
ward. because it needed new point,
he cut it again and found that there
was no more lead He cut still further
and was surprised to find thin roll of
paper nested in the hollow place where
the lead was supposed to be. The
paper was one of the false notes and in
this way they had been Struggled into
the country.-St Louis Globe-Demo-

Bre Il by the Yard.

French bread is divided into two
classes-pain ordinaire and pain richie,
writes Maria Parloa, in an article on
"Outside Domestic Aids in Paris, in
the Ladies' Home Journal. The rich
bread is made into all sorts of shapes,
and usually of small size. All the
French bread has great deal OF crust
and comparatively little crumb. What
is called pain Ang aise is found at
nearly all the bakeries. This bread Is
baked in square leaves, having a great
deal OF crumb in proportion to the
crust. Small, round loaves of rye and
of graham bread can be purchased at
nea 'ly all the bakeries. But the
bread that is consumed in the greatest
quantity is the pain ordinaire. This
is baked in long, round loaves, or in
long, fiat ones. The loaves vary in
length from yard to a yard and u
hall. This bread is sold by weight
and costs about four cents pound.
Very little paper is used in the
bakeries. Men. women and children
come in and purchase the common
bread, take it in the soiled hands or
tuck it under the arm and walk off.
The pain richie and small rolls are,
however, partially protected by a
small piece of paper. 1t is common
thing to meet men in the street carry
ing . buudle of the large loaves of
bread, the same as they would so much
wood. When the baker delivers the
bread it is brought to you in BASKETS,
or wrapped in paper. The bread that
Is served with the chocolate or coffee
is generally in the form of long roll
or creSC ent.
The qua'it of the French bread is
generally good, but it varies at differ
ent establishments.
