'When that cloud passed and the
moon came out brighter than ever, we
were within an easy stones throw of
the bark. There was no sign that any
one on board had seen us.
Suddenly the man at the wheel OF
the strange bark turned and looked
back. ] heard Capt. Burrows utter a
low cry of terror, and saw him put his
hands over his eyes as If to shut out
some frlghtful vision.

us, his face clearly revealed by the

he was, looking at us from the deck Of

How many minutes we al stood
staring at the face that seemed to leer
at Us in the moonlight l do not know,
but finally another cloud shut off the
light, and we aroused ourselves from
the stupor of surprise and fear that had
held us spellbound. This time the
cloud was much larger than any of the
others, and the moon was hidden for

True Blood Purifier
Prominently in the Public Eve To-day.
Prominently in the Public Eye To-day,
A Muskrat Market.

In view of the fact that so many peo-
pie are prejudiced against rs:skrats, it
is surprising to know that from nve to
six hundred of these animals are
dressed and sold in the Baltimore
markets every day, bringing eight to ten
cents apiece. The market for musk
rats are now opening up and visitors
along Light and other streets in south
Baltimore, where commission houses
are located, see barrels of the rats in
front Of the stores, and the air is filed
with the perfume of musk. A great
many of the rats came up from the
eastern shore. One commission man
sold barrel in less than half an hour
Muskrat hunting has become quite an
industry along the eastern shore in the
early spring. They are caught especial
ly for their hides, which bring from
ten to forty cents apiece, according to
size, etc. The Nanticoke river is said
to be the best place for the rats, but
they are also quite numerous in the
little creeks and small rivers which
make into Chesapeake bay from the
different sections of the state. Balti-

Badness AND INDIGESTION.
Another Valuable Hint to the Average
Fmerican Man.

Another valuable Hint to the Average
fmsrican Man.
The cause of badness is question
which has personal interest for many
people in these days, when the new
man" finds it almost as difficult to keep
his hair as the new woman" does to
find a husband The theory of the
bald-headed man generally is that
his exceptionally active brain has used
up the blood supply which should have
nourished his scalp; but those whose
crop of hair still stands untouched by
the scythe of time unkindly hint that
this explanation is OF piece with Fall
staff's excuse that he had lost his voice
by singing of anthems" Then there
told makes for sanitary unrighteous-
ness in two allowing no ventila-
ton, and by its hard rim cutting off
part of the blood supply from the
scalp. Again, there is seborrhea,
which prepares the way for fungi that
blights the hair. 1t would have been
wonderful if that pathological scape-
goat, indigestion, had not this particu-
lar misdeed laid to it's charge. We are
not surprised, therefore, to read in an
American contemporary that dyspepsia
is the great cause of badness. This is
how the mischief is done: Nature"
we are assured, sis very careful to
guard and protect and supply the vital
organs with the proper amount of nu-
triment; but when she cannot COM
mand sufficient quantity of blood
| supply for all the organs, naturally
she cuts off the supply of parts the
least vital like the hair and nails
just as one of our splendid paupers''
discontinues his subscription to hos
pital in view of the death duties.
The hair, in fact, dies that the nobler
parts may live up to a proper standard
OF physiological efficiency, The best
way to escape badness is, therefore, to
be careful of our diet, and above all, to
avoid irregularity in meals-a counsel
of perfection which the busy man often
finds it impossible to follow. We are
not prepared to deny that indigestion
may have something to do with bald.
ness, but the part it plays is probably
altogether secondary. We know Of nc
evidence that baldheaded men are
more dyspeptic than their neighbors
and women, who suffer much-chiefy
through their own fault-from digest
i've troubles, are very seldom bald. The
increasing prevalence OF badness
might, with at least as much PLAUSIBLE
ity, be ascribed to the general better

taking place. The late prince consort

To many people Spring and its duties
mean an aching head, tired limbs, and
throbbing nerves. just as the milder
weather comes, the strength begins to
wane and "that tired feeling" is the
complaint of all.
The reason for this condition is
found in the deficient quality of the
blood. During the winter, owing to
various causes, the blood becomes
loaded with impurities and loses it's
richness and Vitality. Consequently,
as soon sa the bracing effect of cold
air is lost, there is languor and lack of
energy. The cure will be found in
purifying and enriching the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
and best spring medicine because it is
the greatest and best blood purifier.
1t overcomes that tired feeling because

Spring Makes Me Tired

IL makes pure, rich blood. Il gives
strength to nerves and muscles because
it endows the blood with new powers
of nonrishment. 1t creates an appetite,
tones and strengthens the stomach and
digestive organs, and thus builds up
the whole system and prepares 1t to
meet the change to warmer weather.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is medicine
upon which you may depend. 1t is
the only true blood purifier prom =
inently before the public eye to-day.
1t has record of cures unequaled in
the history Of medicine. IL is the medi-
cine of which so many people writes
Hoods Sarsaparilla does all that II
is claimed to do" You can take
Hoods Sarsaparilla with the confident
expectation that it will give you pure
blood and renewed health. Take it now.

A Natural Wheel of Ice.

There is curious ice formation on
the Mianus river, near the village of
Bedford, Westchester county, N. Y.
The Mianus at that place is small
stream, averaging about ten feet in
width. At place locally known as
the ten foot hole" the stream widens
out into pool forty or fifty feet wide.
In this pool there has formed cake of
ice about twenty-five or thirty feet in
diameter and perfectly circular in
shape. This circular cake of ice is
slowly revolving and is surrounded for
about two-thirds of its circumference
by stationary ice. There is space of
about three inches between the revolv-
ing cake and the stationary ice, except
at the upstream side of the revolving
cake, where the water is open and the
current quite swift. Each revolution
takes about six minutes. Scientific

among the West India islands. There
the weather was hot and the men, al
ready worn out with the way the
captain had been driving them,
moved about little slower than they
had been doing. This made the
captain wild for the heat had already
made his temper worse, and, first
thing we knew, he had two of the men
in irons for next to nothing. We stood
it for day, but when he began to talk
about hanging some OF us to the
yardarm, just as an example to the
others, every man on board was about
ready to rebel.
.'That night the men in their hunks
talked freely of mutiny. Billy Bur-
rows knew pretty well what was going
on. but his sympathies were with the
men, and he said nothing to Reed.
Next day the crisis came in way that
we did not expect

work Then up spoke Billy with real
rrit and refused to obey the order of
he captain. The latter was insane
with rage at once. He drew long
knife, and, with howl like wild
beast, started at Burrows.
1.-The men gathered around the mate,
Tor they knew he was their friend. But
Burrows did not need any help When
ne saw the captain coming at him with
that knife he did not run awag. Instead
he picked up a Delaying pin and sent

\ His aim was good. The pin struck

an hour. When at last the cloud
passed and the moonlight lit up the
sea again the bark had disappeared.
We looked in all directions and changed
our course several times, but we never
saw the vessel again.
when morning came the Lucy Mar
com had crew of badly frightened
pirates on board. Every man from
Burrows down had seen the face of our
former captain the night before, but
now every one of us would have sworn
that the mysterious bark was a ghost
of the sea, and that the wheel was held
by the spook of Jim Reed.
THAT settled the pirate business
with the crew of the Lucy Maroon.
They decided to take tire vessel home
and turn her over to her owners, in the
meantime agreeing on some story of
storm and head winds to account for
the long delay in getting back to port.
1t was agreed that a report would be
made that Capt. Reed had died at sea.

] without delay, but that night the Lucy
Maroon struck hidden reef and went

never been told on land before, and
would not be telling it now only that
happen to know that am the last sur
vivor of her crew, so it can do no harm
to those who are gone to tell what
happened on that voyage.
1.-THE Lucy Maroon was an old brig
that for years piled between Boston
and che South African ports. went
out on her as one of the crew away
back in the sos. Jim Reed was her
captain, and, shiver his timbers, never
saw the like of him before nor since.
When he. gave an order the man who
did not jump to obey on the instant
would get blow or kick. He swore
like pirate all the lime, even in his
sleep. 1t was hard crew he had,
made up as it was of men from half a
dozen countries, but rough as they
were, and bloodthirsty some of them,
Jim Reed, the captain, had them,
every man Jack, in a state of terror
after the first day out.
ION this last voyage OF hers the
Lucy Maroon was bound for Colon, or
somewhere down there, it does not
matter where, with general cargo of
merchandise, which was valuable. The
first mate was Billy Burrows, a big,
strong Yankee lad, who was bit wild
and reckless, but guess his heart was
in the right place. Billy, like the men,
stood in awe of the pirate of a captain.
but he had plenty of courage, and
Reed knew it, for he was not so hard
on the mate. True, he talked pretty
rough to him at times, but he was al
ways careful not to push Billy too far.
swell, we all stood the abuse, the
blows and all, and everything went
well enough until the brig got well
down in the Gulf stream, somewhere
