NATHAN HALE.

In The roll of our country's heroes, no
name shines brighter than that OF Nathan
uglc. This noble young soldier was a
captain in the American army at a time
yyban We were at war with the English
George Washington, who was the leader
Of the American armies, wished very
much TO find out the position OF the
English army, and just how strong it
was
Nathan Hale felt that it was his duty
TO do alt he could for his native land, and
offered To GO into the enemy's camp and
find out all that General Washington
wanted TO know.
Putting OF his captains dress, and
Disgusting himself as well as he could,
this brave young man crossed over to
Long Island, and made his way into the
midst OF the English camp.
He looked at ali their forts. and made
drawings of them; and learned much
about what the English commander,
General Hove, was thinking of doing.
He then started to return; but he WAS
taken prisoner, and carried before the
tngllSh general. w men iihle sa" that
his purpose VAS known, he frankly told
who he 81 -, and W hat he had come for :;
and g., cral Howe ordered him to be
hung spy.
But .,5,s he spy? When We speak of a
spy, w. think Of one who, for pay, enters
the @ 11p of an enemy to learn his secrets.
In Ia meaning Nathan Hale was no spy.
For. my did he offer himself for this
scr> For pay? NO! for duty, for love
OF country.
j order OF the British general was
carried out the next morning, and poor
\ VA vas treated most cruelty. Every
tRr5r was denied him. General Howe
would not permit the young American TO
-.a Clergyman, nor even to have Bible,
Bat high, a holy feeling upheld the
'reyc youth IN his last hour. With al
most joyous step he walked to he place
Z death, and With his last breath spoke
these words words that will never die
# only regret that | have but one lie To
lose for my country
The Romans had saying, at Is sweet
to die for ones native land" But the
speech OF young Hale was finer than hat,
for h. wished that he had many lives 10
give for his country.

VISIT TO THE SULTAN OF
BORNEO.

BORNEO
Tom was studying geography in q way
quite unusual for boys Captain Fair
weather, Toms father, was captain OF Il
vessel which went to all parts OF the
world in search OF the choice products OF
different lands. Tom had studied his
. school geography, and had learned much
from ii about the equator, the China sea,
and the islands OF the East Indies; and
when he VAS twelve years old, his father
thought That be would take him with
him on his next voyage, and give him a
sight OF the countries about which he
had been studying. Tom found it hard
TO believe himself really in those tar-off
seas, and looking With his own eyes on
the famous islands where the choicest
fruits and spices grow. He crossed the
equator several times, but it Was quite
unlike he line which he had imagined it
to be when studying about 1t in his
school geography.
On certain day the ship lay of the
coast OF Borneo, and the officers were
making ready to pay their respects to the
sultan OF the island. They had already
sent a messenger TO ask II visit to the
great man would be agreeable, and he
had answered that he would be very glad
TO see them.
OF course It was understood that Tom
should be one OF the party. He had
never seen live sultan; but he knew
that he was some kind of II king, and he
supposed that he lived in great STYLE.
He remembered having seen a picture in
one Of his books beneath which was
written The Sultan OF Borneo,' and III
which that person was seen sitting under
palm-tree surrounded by his officers.
According TO the picture the sultan had
turban on his head, and flowing,
brig colored robe was thrown over his
shoulders; he wore Turkish trousers, and
had mutton-chop whiskers. In view OF
visit to r. person so very grand. Tom put
on his watch and chain, and ring inset
with a large red stone, which he had
bought in Ceylon.
Seated by his father in the small boat,
Tom felt not a little awed in view of the
meeting which WAS soon to take place.
As they neared the shore he was sur
prised at the appearance Of the town.
"Huts, with matched roofsl' he ex-
Il Claimed. This doesn't look much ike Il
city. A grand city it is, must say
The palace OF the sultan was matched
hut not very unlike the Others in the
4 town. 1t was built on piles driven into
II the river bed, and WAS entered by steps
Il leading up from the water. Tom
u followed his father up the steps with
some curiosity, but more disappointment.
| All, that kings palace should have
dwindled into this miserable hut!

MAN At THE WHEEL.

Lat m spend an hour with Capt Ran
dali. of the American liner st. Louis, on
the bridge In midocean. He first takes
,,s into the wheelhouse. 1t IL > room
ten feet wide with . curved front. A
kheel about. three feet in diameter is
riaced in the center Of the room, and
you are surprised to see that the quar-
tcrmaster keeps turning 1t almost con-
stantly. You have always thought that
he had simply to keep his eye on the
floating compass in the box directly in
front Of him and hold the ship steady
on her course. AZ you look Mt the conn
pass you see the ship veering new this
way and now that, as she rolls sInd
plun9es, or as one screw turns faster
than the other, and thus pulls the ship
around. It il hard to make two indie
pendent screws go exactly at the-sapae
speed, ana 10 this man ut the wheel is
Lury all the time turning the ship
straight. He has to fight the waves
and the screws and tho winds at the
same time, and he Is a busy man.
This steering wheel controls the ship
by means Of a small column of oil In
little tube. By turning the wheel this
way or that the oil in the tube is forced
up and down, and that opens or closes
certain valves in the steam-steerinG
gear 400 feet away. and the rudder is
turned - easily az If q child had done
it. In most steamships the steam
steering gear is controlled by hydraulic
power-that il by water-but the use
Of q column Of oil il an improvement.
AS you look about you see fastened to
the cornice directly in front of the
wheelman little scale in black with
white lines marked OF on it. There is
a dial on it, and as the ship rolls you see
that this 10 q device to mark the degree
of the roll. You may notice that il
takes about q second for every degree
OF roll. On each side of the room is
another long black gauge. and the dials
point to cerain figures, generally be
tween 90 and 95. These Jials are little
electrical devices, showing exactly how
many revolutions the screws are mali
ing. The captain at a glance knows
what is going on in the engine-rooms.
Over in the corner of the room is an
other curious electrical device. 1t is
little box with a clock in it. The cap
tain tells you it is the machine that
controls the whistle in time of fog. The
law requires long blast of the whistle
at such times every two minutes. BY
pressing button on this little clock
apparatus, and by setting the clock in
certain manner, the whistle Is blown
automatically for seven seconds every
minute. There can be no error of man
in that work. Just as sure as every
minute comes around that whistle
will blow seven seconds. Under the old
way, when a man pulled the whistle
cord, there was no cxactness in the
work. When the fog is over the button
is released and the whistle stops.-Har-
per's Round Table.

The eScotchman'sd disposition to regard

suRlAL Or 4 CHEAT ARTIST.

The late exhunatior Of Pagonini's
fsmadns, near Parma, brings to mem-
oFy III the other pereerinatsons they
haxs gone through since they were hrst
taken to the Nice cemetery in 1910
when Nice still belonged to Italy. Be-
ing refused there, however, beceuse
Pa9anini was not Of Nice, the remains
were taken to Marscelles, where they
we're also refused admittance. Not
even Genoa, where Paganini was born.
would receive his body because an
epidemic was then raging. A like re-
fusal was received ct Cannes.
Shall tell you why 1t was 20 hard
to nnd resting place for his bones? !?
It was common belief that Paganini
had told his soul to the devil, who
would take It Immediately after the
poor maa died! So. for Ave years,
the body was left on the rocks of San
Ferreol, where it might be still had
not the duchess of Parma insisted in
having it buried in the Villa Gaime.
In 1855, the coffin had to be changed.
and in 1876 the body was again re-
moved, this time to the cemetery OF
Parma. Then, however, all the people
in Parma crowded the river side, down
which the body was carried by night,
to the light Of hundreds Of torches
Baron Attilius Paganini, q grandson OF
the violinist, was also present. Once
more, in 1893, the vault was opened,
and the features Of the great man we're
again seen. And now again the vault
has been opened for repairs. A friend
writes and says that the face u still
perfectly preserved. The lower part
OF the body is mere bone; the face, how
ever, is as perfect AZ ever, and has been
photographed. Baron Achilles, Paga-
MINIS son (now an old MANI, has caused
the body to be placed in another codin,
and this time large piece Of glass has
been placed in the coffin. Thus any
artist visiting Parma may now see the
features of Paganini BY asking Baron
Achilles permission.
I am told that much of the music
which bears paganini's name was never
written by him at all. His real COM
positions, however, are now going to be
published, and they will be surprise
TO artists on account of their mechan-
ical difficulties, which will be perfect
test of ability to many of our modern
riolinists-great as they may be. He
used to practice exercises by the hour
together with weight tied to his right
arm. Then after this weight was re-
moved his playing sounded as il it were
q complete orchestra playing. There
are some old people who still remember
bearing him practice in this way.
Whilst practicing he would also walk
up and down the room, rarely looking
at the music on the desk. From his
youth he always had The preference for
one bow. It never left him. 1t was
very long and was mcnded over and
over again. It always lies on the chim-
ney piece of the Green room in the Villa
Caione. It stands in gold column,
protected by q crystal shade. and on
it is paper telling what it ls.-Foot-
