Water Tight Compartments.

The frequency of collisions at sea and
their fatal results have led to many inyes-
LEGATIONS and experiments in the line Of
water tight compartments. 1t is one thing
to build vessel with air chambers that
will float 1t and quite another to have
safety appliances always in order and ready
for emergencies. 1t has been said that
certain of our large passenger steamships
have on occasions turned the water tight
compartments into places for stcerage pas
sengors. Their greed ran away with their
common humanity an regard for tho
lives of those on board 1t certainly is u
waste of time and energy to prepare the
means OF safety ut n great expense when
proper care III not taken TO keep them with.

BEFORE A SCHOOL JUSTICE.
The Bride Didn't Work, and Her Confess
sion Was Q Failure.


Something dreadful had happened at the
oleenville district school, May Greene,
tho belle of the village, had struggled her
Sunday sash out of the bureau and "unbe-
knownst to her mother" had worn 1t to
school. Her triumph, however, was short
lived. She had hung the sash most care
fully on hook in the cloakroom while she
ran out, at recess, for a good romp.
On her return she was dismayed to find
that 1t had been cut in two pieces. Every
scholar was carefully questioned, but no
one of course knew anything about 1t.
The teacher accordingly announced that
when tho afternoon session should open
she would lay all lessons aside and hold q
court Of investigation. She herself would
be the Judge May Greene should be the
plaintiff, and every scholar In turn should
come into witness box rugged up for the
occasion aud tell exactly what he knew
about the matter. She also said that IL
any ono would confess his wrongdoing be-
fore the opening of court he would be par
doned and all proceedings stopped.
Two guilty boys, discarded beaux of the
gay coquette, were now pale with dismay.
They had told untruths when privately
questioned, and now they fSarcd that they
would not be able to brave them out be-
fore the awful court ordeal, especially since
it had begun to be whispered around that
they knew more of the matter than had at
first appeared. They therefore hit upon
the following expedient:
The youngest child in the school, little
Annie Cork, was the pet of the county. If
she now could only be induced to confess
to the cutting of the sash, surely she would
be pardoned on account of her popularity.
She was therefore beset by the guilty
youngsters, who, by dint Of dire threats
and large brides and by urging confession
upon her as duty, finally secured her be-
wldered consent ito confess.
When the afternoon bell rang, the schol-
ars came in promptly, looking askance at
the awful witness box and at the mutilat-
cd finery floating out from the teachers
desk. The Judge was about to open court
when in came the criminals triumphantly,
leading the Innocent child between them.
They informed the judge that Annie Cork
had come to confess, and otllciously plac-
ing her in the witness box they withdrew
to their seats. The child's helpless attitude
was too much for the tender hearted judge,
who took her by the hand and said gently,
"Well, dear, have you really come to con-
fess?"
"Yeth," she faltered, oppressed by the
earnest stiffness in the room, but gaining
courage from the judges kindly manner,
"Yeth, teacher, 18th come to confeth-lth
come to confetti that l didn't do 1t. -
