AT SEA IN A TREE TOP.
Sailors Rescue a Boy from Death

For Three Days and Nights the Poor Lit

out Having Anything to
Eat or Drink.

l was one of the crew of an English
ship bound from Georgetown in British
Guiana, to Rio Janeiro, down on the
east coast of Brazil says a writer in
the Free Press When we were off the
mouth of the Parana river on the north
coast, it fell calm. We were about
twenty miles off the coast, and as night
came on the sea was as quiet as mill
pond and there wasn't air enough stir
ring to flare a candle. About nine
o'clock a fog began to rise, and within
a quarter of an hour it was so thick
that one could not see man on deck
ten feet away. 1t was just after ten
o'clock, and the ship was very quiet,
when we suddenly heard the voice of a
human being coming out of the fog. 1t
was not the voice of a man, as all real
lied at once, but that of woman, or
of boy or girl. 1t had called out
three or four times before the mate
who had charge of the deck at the
time, uttered "hellop' in answer.
Nothing is more deceptive than
sounds in fog. This call seemed to
come from three or four different di'
rections, according to where the hearer
stood. We were disputing as to the
exact direction when the voice hailed
again. and at the same time some OBJ

ly found out, and its branches raked
along the rail and side as it passed
astern of us. Seated in the tree
top, as half a dozen of us plainly made
out, was young native boy, who held
out his hands to us and cried out to
be rescued. tt all passed in thirty
seconds, and he was again lost to sight
in the fog. The mate shouted to the
boy to hold on and we would lower a
boat for him, but the captain came on
deck and refused to take the risks until
the fog should thin out. Had boat
been lowered and pulled cables
length away it might have taken the
men hours to find the ship again.
The boy kept calling and calling for
an hour or more, while some of us an
swered him to keep up his courage. By
and by he had drifted so far away that
we could no longer hear him and then
we fired musket three our four times.

Cactus Calling Cards.

Many are the uses to which the cac-
tus is put, but one of the queerest is
that which prevails in Cape Town,
South Africa, where cactus leaves are
made to serve the purpose of visiting
cards. The leaves of the special kind
of cactus used for this purpose are not
very prickly, however, and further
more, these unique cards are not car
ried about, but are left growing on the
plant which stands at the foot of the
front steps. When a lady calls she has
only to take out her hatpin and scratch
her name on the glossy surface of one
of the leaves, while a gentleman ac-
composites the same end with his knife.
'The lines thus scratched turn silver
white and remain clear and distinct on
the leaf for years. New Years day
these cactus cards are particularly con-
venient, and popular hostesses often
appropriate large branch of their cac.
tus plant to the registry of visits re.
ceived that day.-St. Louis Globe Dem.

four or five inches long, which place
under the lower sash. This will give
fresh air without a draught, and is
a good way to ventilate sleeping
rooms when one fears an open window.
If the windows of the sleeping-room be
so arranged that the wind blows upon
the bed, place a screen near the bed.
Always keep some rooms warm while
the others are airing, and give them a
thorough flooding with fresh air when
the first rooms are comfortable. The
house that is kept well ventilated and
at a regular temperature throughout
will be much safer for occupancy by
both sick and well people than the one
where the housekeeper has the mis-
taken idea that she wastes the hea by
opening her windows for at least a part
of an hour in the morning, leaving a
lutte corner where health and sweet
ness can steal in unobserved.-Toledo

was sent to the mast head to look for
the boy on his strange raft. He was
sighted away to the east mere speck
on the ripping sea, and the breeze was
so light that we were over an hour
working down to him. We found him
dashed to limb and unconscious. He
was entirely naked and hunger and
thirst and fear had about exhausted

him on board before he rallied suffl-

COL. THOMAS J. MAJORS.

Republicans of Ne braska.
he Talks EntertaininGly AhoOt His Life In
the Far West and His Career "a a
Soldier - Personality of
Unique Character.

Col. Thomas J. Majors, republican
candidate for governor of Nebraska,
has attained great prominence from
the fact that his candidacy was re-
pudiated in the state convention
by Mr.. Rosewater, the able editor of
she Omaha Bee. A Chicago Tribune
correspondent caught Col. Majors at

as he was taking the train for little
town called Tecumseh. Tom Majors,
says he, is almost six feet tall, big,
proad-shouldered, sturdy man. He
looks you square in the eye when he Is
talking to you, and he uses good hard
English, occasionally embellished by lit
lie expressions peculiar to the ''rowdy
west" He was going down 10 Tecum-
sch to attend a convention. The cor
respondent did not have much Of an
opportunity to talk TO him during the
trip; every body on the train knew him,
and the crowds at the little stations
along the road, aware Of his presence,

THE TALL GIRLS MISTAKE.
She Started Out to Have Fun With the
Young Englishman.

|
The tall girl with the yellow hair
and the white dress had announced her
! intention of having fun with the young
Englishman who was guest at the
house where she was staying. He had
but lately arrived in this country, and
he was here for a few days on his way
to leisurely inspection of the west.
Il suppose, Mr.. Cholmedly," the tall
girl said when she got her proposed
victim ranged up beside lot of other
| girls who wanted to see and hear the
fun. Il suppose you find this country
much different from England"
Indeed, l do" replied the young
Englishman, politely. 1T is very diff
ferent."
do you like it?"
Il hardly know yet. have seen but
very little of it, you know"
Disappointed, aren't you?'
Il can't say that am"
Weren't you grieved because you
didn't find any Indians in Central park
in New York waiting to scalp I'M
wary Britons? You surely thought In
dians would be there"
Pardon me, but had no such idea. :"
well, you expected to hunt buffalo
on Long Island. I'll be bound, and
looked for cowboys and Mexicans on
the wharf, to say nothing of bears and
deer in the battery?"
You are entirely mistaken. / ex-
pected to find none of the things you
have mentioned"
But you didn't know how large
this country was. You had an idea
confess nOw-that you could run up to
Buffalo in half an hour from New
York;
Il knew it was ten-hour ride
The tall girl was rather disconnected
by this time, but she bit her lips and
continued the battle. Had no idea of
going out to California and back in the
same day?"
No"
Didn't think that most of the peo-
pie here were savages and dressed IN
skins when dressed at alp"
Certainly not"
GAIL our habits, customs and instltu-
tiOns were strange and outlandish to
you, no doubt?"
"Some of them strange, but none Of
them outlandish."
The tall girl was nonplussed. The
other girls were laughing at her dis
cOmfiture. She nervously twisted and
UNFINISHED her handkerchief and finally
said: well, you are queer sort of an
Englishman. How is it you know so
much?"
In tones icy enough to cause a drop
in temperature the young Englishman
replied: Because, miss, l studied
geography when l was at school"
Then, while the tall girl blushed red
as a peOny, he confined: Il also
studied department, something which,
/ fear, was not included in your curri-
culum."

she didn't leave her room for two days

VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE.
Plenty of Fresh Air Is Necessary to Good
Health.

Healthful animal or vegetable life
can not be sustained without fresh air
in plenty. Living in rooms that have
not a proper supply of pure air lowers
the vitality and makes one feel the cold
much more. 1t is an error to think you
can keep house warmer without fresh
air than with it. A thoroughly-aired
room heats more readily than does the
one where the air is vitiated.
Air the sleeping rooms the first thing
in the morning, no matter how cold
the day. Have at least one window in
one of the upper halls in which a VEN
tilator can be placed; or, if that be in

a great roaring ana knew LnaU
sudden freshet caused by a cloud
burst higher up, was rolling down
upon them. Both climbed the same
tree, expecting to thus escape the
waters, but the tree itself was uprooteG
and carried down with the mighty
rush. The father was swept off al
once, but the boy, having climbed
higher up, was saved. The tree was
carried down to the mouth of the river
and several miles out to sea. 1t then
drifted back with the tide, but was
finally caught in a current and kept
slowly drifting to the east. The boy
had been floating about three days and
nights when we found him, and during
that time had nothing to eat or drink,
We made startling discovery just
after we had removed him from tho
limb to which he was tied by his loin-
cloth. In the branches nearer the top
of the tree, and not over twenty feet
away from him, were two serpents
ooiled up and taking things easy. Both
were fully ten feet long, with exceed
ingly evil looking heads and glisten-
ing eyes, and when we described them
to the lad, he said the slightest scratch
from the fangs of that species OF Ser
pent was sure death within an hour
1t seemed almost miraculous that they
had not attacked him during those long
days and nights, but he had not even
seen them. By the time we got down
to Rio the boy was. in good health and
spirits, and the last l saw of him he
was aboard of a native craft bound up
the coast for a port near his home.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Army.

What the Army and Navy Register
doesn't know about the plans of the war
department would, in all probability, fill
a very large sized book.
The idea that there should be any hesi-
tation by the war department as to
whether Fort D. A. Russell or Fort Marcy
shall be abolished is to preposterous to
command serious attention, and the
writer of the Pc graph in the Register
displays his ignorance when he intimates
that officers and men of the regimental
headquarters and band of the 10th in
fantry would gladly welcome a transfer
from Marcy to Russell because "they have
been in New Mexico since 1884," Fort
Russell is in barren region of Wyoming
practically between Salt Lake and Denver
and only few hours ride from the latter
point, and army officers agree that there
Is really no use for it, while from a eli
matic point of view its chief attractions
are hot blasts in summer and cold ones
in winter, perennial sand storms, poor
water and little of it. On this account,
Gen. McCook, IN recent interview in a
newspaper expressed the belief that Rus
sell would be one of the small posts
abandoned under the new policy of con-
centration adopted by the war depart
ment, and yet the Army and Navy Register
hints that Fort Marcy may be wiped out
before Fort Russell is. The New MEXICAN
doesn't believe it, but nevertheless it
may be well to seek positive information
on the subject. Let the Board of Trade
wire to Delegate Joseph and he will
promptly look into the matter.
