WHEN THACKERAY WAS ANGRY,
The Sailors Who Intended to Play
Trick Changed Their Minds.

Trick Changed Their Minds.
Once upon time the daughters OF
Thacleray saw that good man
thoroughly and heartily angry-angry
to the point of profanity. 1t was dur.
ing their Italian journey, when they
were returning to the ship in Genoa
harbor after day on the shore. 'We
had to be on board at certain time
Mrs. Richie says, in her Macmillan
paper, 80 that we engaged carriage
and drove quickly to the quay, where
the convicts clanlSing in their chains
were still at work. A boat was found,
rowed by some sailors, who certainly
did not wear chains, but who were
otherwise not very unlike those in
dustrious convicts in appearance. The
bargain was made. we all five entered
the boat, and as we were getting in we
could see our great ship in the twilight,
looking bigger than ever, and one
rocket and then another going off
signaling for u.s. said one of our com
panions; we shall soon be on board
1--WE lad pulled some twenty strokes
from the shore by this time, when sud-
denly the boatmen left off rowing
They put down their oars, and one OF
them began talking volubly, though
could not understand what he said
What's to be done?' said one of the
young men to my father. They say
they won't go on unless we give them
fifty francs more and he began shals
ing his head and demonstrating in
broken italian. The boatmcn paid no
attention, Struggling their shoulders
and waiting as if they were deter.
mined never to row another stroke.
Then the steamer sent up two more
rockets, which rose through the twi-
denly my father rose up in the stern Of
the boat where he was sitting, and,
standing tall and erect, and in an anger
such as I had never seen him in be-
fore or after in all my life, he shouted
out in loud and impatient English:
Curse you, go on!' simple maledic-
ton which carried more force than
all the Italian polysyllables and ex.
postulations of our companions. To
our surprise and great relief the men
seemed frightened; they took to their
oars again and began to row, grumbling
and muttering. When we got on board
the ship they told us it was we'll
known trick the Genoese boatmen
were in the habit of playing upon trav-
elers, and that they would have sent Q
boat for us if we had delayed any
longer."-St. Lonis Globe Democrat

How to Breathe.

Rapid and shallow breathing IL strictly
unbygienic. 1t leaves great portion OF
the lungs entirely unused and part of the
air in them unchanged.
Deep breathing strengthens and in
creases the muscles of tho chest and the
abdomen. The abdominal muscle directly
overlies the intestines, and its motion
stimulates the whole digestive apparatus,
thus contributing to its healthful activity.
Persons who occasionally or continually
suffer from cough should take pains to
cultivate deep breathing. Almost all such
persons breathe improperly. In many cases
lack of lung power is inherited; in others
habit or occupation plays an unfavorabls
part; in not few instances a fear of the
lungs being delicate superinduces habit
of shallow breathing from an erroneous
idea that the lungs are in this way favored
The health of an organ depends largely
upon a proper exercise Of its functions
Diseases of the lungs, Of a chronic nature
especially, are often wholly, always par
TALLY, cbargeable to an unhygienic method
of breathing. The part of the lungs most
likely to become affected with disease is
the apex, or uppermost portion. The rea-
son for this lies in the fact that this part
of the lung is fully expanded only on tax
ing deep inspiration. In many persons
this part of the lung is, therefore, seldom
expanded, its function is impaired, and it
falls more readily prey to disease.
Tight clothing is especially harmful
about the neck and shoulders, and in this
respect men err as often as women. A
tightly CONSTRUCTED waist, while limiting
free respiration, is perhaps not SO harm
sui to the lungs as to other adjacent or
gans Of the body.-Youth's Companion.

If the paste comes from the brush in
grains, or the line shows each touch Of
the brush, looking dry and uneven, then
add just a very Attic Dresden thick oil.
If, however, the paste spreads after it has
been applied to the china and remains
soft, looking glazed, then there is too
much oil. A little alcohol will counterfeit
this and will send the oil to the edge of
the palette, or you may add more powder.

skilled in some pursuit or calling, and nat

of securing their rights and protecting
their interests by taking common action
against the rest of the community.
Tho earliest craft guilds were those of
the wcavers and fullers of wooden cloth.
The guild Of bakers is nearly as old, and
that OF the leather dressers, or corvesars,
dates from about the same period. AT first
there was a struggle between the mer
chant guilds and the craft guilds, as the
one body naturally strove to retain its
monopoly Of the government OF tho town,
and the other endeavored to share in its
municipal privileges. But the circum-
