An Old Sailors Housekeeping.

But Captain Cephas soon put an end to
this sort of thing. He did not like wo-
mans ways, especially her ways Of at
tending to domestic affairs. He liked to
live in sailor fashion, and to keep house
in sailor fashion. In his establishment
everything was shipshape, and everything
which could be slowed away was slowed
away, and, if possible, in bunker. The
floors were holystoned nearly every day,
and the whole house was repainted about
twice year, little at time, when the
weather was suitable for this marine rec
reation. Things not in frequent use were
dashed securely to the walls, or perhaps
put out Of the way by being hauled up to
the ceiling by means Of blocks and tackle.
His cooking was done sailor fashion, like
everything else, and he never failed to
have plumdutf on Sunday. His we'll was
near his house, and every morning he
dropped into it lead and line, and noted
down the depth Of water. Three times
day he entered in little note book the
state Of the weather, the height of the
mercury in barometer and thermometer,
the direction of the wind, and special
weather points when necessary. From

Story by Frank r. Stockton. in the

not fables; they are stories Of animals
talking and they are pointless, SO far ae
the average reader is able to Judge. We
have asked good many magazine read
ers about Kipling's Jungle Stories: they
all express the same astonishmsnt that
the magazine editors accept them.
Kipling will soon be dropped by the
magazine editors; they will inevitably
discover that his stories are not admired
by the people. Robert Louis Stevenson
died just in time to save him from the
same fate. Every man 'swrites out,'
except in the case Of an occasional bril-
liant genius. Dickens was a genius of
this character; Thackeray was another,
and Walter Scott another. But ninety

specially Of cowboys and Indians. His
cowboys and Indians are fair. but his
horses are tough. However, the maya

surf to give what help they could Only
three men on the wreck survived the
last mishap, The mates and the sailor
on the jibboom, the only piece of the
vessel remaining intact. The sailor was
knocked off the boom soon after the
breakup and drowned The second mate
proposed that the two remaining should
jump into the sea and try to buffet the
surf, but his companion had lashed
himself securely to the boom and refus-
ed to leave it, because he couldn' swim.
The other no longer had choice in the
matter, for heavy sea tore him from
his hold and dashed him into the surf.
After desperate struggle among the
driving wreckage he managed to get
within sound Of the surfmen, who re-
sponded to his cries and dragged him
from the breakers, the last man saved
and the ninth rescued by the life crew.
Seven had perished.

a worldly point of view. There was at
least one son Of earl, and youthful
and wealthy baronet perhaps more, for

LOTUS was not astful, and there were
at least half a d zen young men whose

Japan Snubs Great Britain.

Ii the latest dispatches from Japan
are worth anything, that government S
diplomacy is as effective as it's military
dispatches. The English charge that
Japan is seeking the disruption of the
Chinese empire, and England is exceed
lngly anxious about the interests of hu-
manity. But Japan declares that she is
seeking nothing Of the sort and has an
equal interest in humanity with Eng
land. All she wants is to see China CON-
solidated and freed from cruel supersti-
tlon, with her gates open to the civili-
zation and commerce Of the world. If
this is not an oblique slap in the face
for Great Britain, what is it?-Phila-

An American Translator of Horace.

General Thomas w. Hyde of Bath,
despite the manifold cares of his busy
life, has been engaged during his few
leisure hours in translating Horace's
odes. After reading Gladstone's work
the general was moved to write the
English author upon some details Of
their mutual work and recently receiv-
ed the following autographic note in
reply:
DEAR SIR promptly acknowledge your
Kindness, and think it a great honor that my
poor effort should be noticed from beyond
the Atlantic by a fellow laborer to whom I
wish success more perfect than my own.
Yours very faithful and obedient,

RAID ON THE LOW CUTS.
Cholly Tells Us What the Dress Reformers
Saw at the Grand Opera.

.o.. saw at the Grand Opera. ....
Really and truly, ladies and gentle
men, what are we coming to? Where
are we at?
Lady Somerset, an English refor1ner
who should find plenty to do at home,
certainly must be misrepresented when
any such nonsense as some women are
now talking is attributed to her
"We propose to 60 up higher!" is the
cry of the misguided female dress re-
former.
Cup higher" means into the boxes of
the patrons Of the Metropolitan Opera
House.
1t is said that spoilers were on hand
the other night to take notes of the
quantity Of shoulders exposed in the
parterre, and if there is too much-well,
what then?
Are the offenders to be blackmailed
or exposed even worse than their necks
and bosoms?
II Grannie Grannis appeared at the
opera to spot the neclzs Of the fine ladies
in the boxes, they at least were all I'M
conscious OF it and wore their low neck
gowns as usual
Mrs. Paran Stevens wore very low
cut gown. So did Mrs. Van Rensselaer,
