THE DiTTY BOX MUTlNY.
An Episode of Early Times in the Eng
lish Navy.

Iish Navy.
A curious instance of chow small q
matter kindleth strife" was many
years back afforded in connection with
the boxes in which English seamen
keep their needles and such-like
things. These same 'ditty boxes
were in former days very nearly the
cause of a serious mutiny in one Of the
flagships, in which the not overwise
commander, upon newly joining, be-
gan the practice of throwing over
board any such boxes he caught sight
of on going his morning rounds of in
spection, considering that they spoiled
the effect of the sets of china with
which all the mems mess tables were
adorned.
1t happened that numerous visitors,
generally escorted by this commander,
came to see the flagship and, of course,
admired the neatness of the crews
mess places, and especially the show
of china. which was pointed out with
pride by him. Oae afternoon, how
ever, after there had been during the
morning an especial search for and
large capture of boxes, which were
then thrown overheard, the seamen,
Justly enraged at this destruction of
their little necessaries, rose en- masse
and smashed the whole of the much
admired crockery. The marines, how
ever would not follow suit, and
efectually resisted the efforts to smash
their china made by the sailors, who
desired to thus complete their work of
destruction. These seamen then
rushed up on the forecastle. During
abe destruction of crockery the over
.4ited mate of the lower deck kept
Entically brandishing his sword, but
rSt' the rear of the marines, and quite
clear OF the flying fragments of crock
cry.
! The noise made reused the comman-
der. who, rushing up to the quarter
| deck, called for the marines. and
ordered them to load their muskets.
! At this point the mate of the upper
deck and the mate of the main deck
who knew the seamen well from long
and close experience, stepped up to the
commander and begged him, instead of
causing the marines to load, to pipe
the crew down. which he did; ard then
these two mates went forward, and,
speaking kindly, induced the seamen
to go below and leave the forecastle
guns, which they were casting loose,
while some of their comrades were en-
deavoring to break open the powder
magazine. Thus what threatened to
be a serious mutiny was happily put
an end to, leaving the seamen the un-
pleasant task of sweeping up their
broken crockery. As might have been
anticipated, nothing further occurred;
for all good officers, who have an init.
mate knowledge of the seamen of the
royal navy, can bear witness to their
attachment to judicious officers as well
cs to their great loyalty to duty.-Bos'

Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t will give to
the blood purity, richness and vitality
and these will bring health and vigor,

''Ain't it most time for supper?" in
terrupted an appealing voice from the
other side of the room, and, with much
laughter, Dorothy and Margery made
their way to the lower regions-or in
other words the kitchen-leaving Grace
and mother to talk over the adventure.

lures of anyone l know" said Grace.

carried away with it all"
Yes, but she always comes out all

In a short time Mr.. Russell came
home and the story was all gone over
again at the supper table, for his bene-
fit, Dorothy enforcing it all with ges-
lures and going through the whole
scene, with several additions, to say
the least, for she was full of fun, and
the excitement brought it all out.
Three days later there came an invi-
tation for Grace, Dorothy and Margery
to large party, given by the Win
throps in honor of Jack Winthrop, who
had just returned after an absence of
two years.
1t caused quite an excitement in the
Russell household, for large party was
a great event. and one which they
thoroughly enjoyed. Grace decided
that she would not go, as it would prove
too severe tax for the little strength
she had, so Dorothy and Margery ac-
cepted, and then came the subject of
dress.
1t was simply impossible to get any
thing new, so the old gowns must do.
Dorothy brought them down and laid
them on the table. Lets see," she be-

So the fall and winter passed away.
Jack Winthrop was a frequent visitor
at the Russels', and people began to
smile and nod mysteriously when the
names of Dorothy Russell and Jack
Winthrop were mentioned. Fortunately
the parties concerned in the bit of gos-
sip were blissfully ignorant of it all
They were just good friends, nothing
more, at least that was what Dorothy
said.
1t was fine winter, and the skating
and sleighing parties were almost in
Vulnerable. Sometimes Jack took Dor
othy, sometimes Margery, or some of
the other girls; but Dorothy oftener
than all; and so winter passed and
spring came.
One day Dorothy received note
from an old schoolmate which caused
great commotion, and this is what it
said:
"FAIRCEILD Mass. April s. 49,.
my DEAR DOROTHY: l think have waited
long enough, and now my patience has given
out, and wait you to come and pay me that
long promised visit.

Your loving friend, MABEL HALsTEAD."
What an excitement that letter
caused! Every body began talking at
once, the children insisting that their
Dorothy should not go, and mother
and the girls planning about it, for,
| some way or other, it seemed to be
quite settled that Dorothy should go.
When Mr. Russell came home. the let
ter was laid before him, and he agreed
at once that Dorothy should accept the
invitation. So the preparations began.
and Dorothy wrote Mabel that she
might expect her on Tuesday, the

the happy faces, in fact, the Russell
house and family was noted for its

When they had come to Redwing,
two years ago, society had been rather
shy of them-they were very select
people in that little town, and adding
new people to their circle was weighty
question indeed-but many weeks had
not gone by before everyone was at
tracted by them, from Grace, the old
est daughter, down to wee, toddling
Dot or Jamie, and now they were the
favorites of all.
Mr.. Russell was a man of about sixty
years Of age, a man of great integrity
and honor, one who would scorn to do
a mean or little thing to better him
self at another's expense. Probably
this was the reason why he did not
get on in the world. for it must be
confessed that he had but a small
share of this worlds goods, and when
position at Redwing was offered him
with moderate salary, he was only
too thankful to accept
