paradoxically speaking, are men.
There IL no longer any place AT sea for

ago. "In the present state of maritime
service only ablebodied men can find EN-

the construction and management Of yes

boy who is determined to 60 to sea can do
now Is To wait patiently until he il big

THE BYGORE CABN SOY.
No Place For Him In the Merchant Mn
ripe of Today,


These ere inauspicious times for the boy
who, AFT p having fired his mind with the
tales of Marryat or Clark Russell, is filled
with consuming desire to seek his for
tune on the sea. In the days of Midship-
man Easy, or W hen the celebrated Captain
Kidd pirated and mysteriously buried his
treasures, something of romance may have
hung over tho career Of a sailor but the
glories of that time have departed Neither
in the merchant marine nor in the navy
ran the place OF cabin boy-the first which
the scastruck lad aspircs to--be said To ex-
ist any longer. II it still remains in the
cases of few small sailing vessels, it is
merely a belated relic Of former days, which
is continually becoming rarer.
The duties of a cabin boy, before the
profession lan~uishod into its present dis
appearing state, were manifold. They
varied according TO tho kind and size OF
the ship no was on, but the place was
never anything remotely resembling a
sinecure. The boy waited on the officers
or the passengers or both, in any way
they might require He was the stewards
assistant in the pantry and dining room.
He helped the cook under more or less use
less protest, and he was general "fag' for
the entire crew. Although he was often
favorte with the seamcn, it was neverthe-
less remembered that as "a boy he was evi-
dcntly Intended as a kind of scapegoat for
anything which might be out of order.
Various sins of commission and omission
were laid at his door, and he might get
out OF the scrapes as best he could. He
was always butt for the jests OF the crew.
There were standing practical jokes which
were played on all new cabin boys. One
of these was 10 instruct him when he be
gan his duties that nothing must ever be
thrown To windward except hot water and
ashes" Bearing these two exceptions in
mind in all innocence, tho unlucky boy
would appear on deck with red and stream
ing eyes, and the crew would explode into
roars OF laughter at this proof of obedience
TO orders.

Smith of the Middlesex Court yesterday.
The proceedings were similar TO those

was over the footprints In the road. The
efforts of the state have been directed To
showing that the fuoptrints, which are

James Lane Allen of the Chicago bar
is one of the most polished of men. A
public reader. an author of charming
sketches, lover of books, he has color

case before Judge Gary previous to that
jurist's elevation to the appellate bench
and came TO a point which turned on
the construction of sentence. Mr.. Allen
was satisfied his reading Of the sentence
was right and was amazed when Judge
Gary held against him. The suavest of
men, he said, But, if the court please
and paused, puzzled for fitting state
ment. Then his temper got the better Of
him, and he wenton, "Ifthe court please,
it may be the court knows more law
than / do, but | really think / am the
better judge of English language. "
"That may be, " said Judge Gary mild
ly, "but GO not see what bearing il
has on this case. am on the bench and
you are not.

The cod is the most useful fish in the

tail attachment over windfall and

The man was out in the forest on his
big farm looking for wildcats with an
especial eagerness on account of the
bounty of So cat offered by the author

with pair of old shoes protecting his
feet from the rocky bottom he espied
fawn at lick. While he was looking at
the little spotted beauty it lay down be-
side log, and the hunter resolved to get
the little animal alive He knew that if
he could get hold of one or both of the
fawn's hind legs he would succeed.
Luckily the cows of the farm appear

creek for "a drink, and the fawn, evil

glance at the COWS. Selling the oppor-

coming and cracking branches and
sticks, stole up to the log. A moment
later the fawn passed directly in front
of him, and the hunter made a quick
thrust of his arms to catch the deer by
the hind legs. He partly succeeded, but
in the struggle that followed, with the
staring COWS and yearlings as specta-

pleasure of seeing the fawn join it's

and dart off with her into the depths of

viper's Blood.

The opinion has prevailed among
scientists that tho viper which resists
NEGOTIATIONS of its own venom was ex.
empt because il was accustomed 10 the
poison. They have found that the blood
contains the same poisonous qualities as
the venom itself and from this drew
the conclusion. But it has been discov.
cred that in addition to the poison the
blood contains another substance that
neutralizes the toxic principle. To as
certain the effects of heat upon the poi
son a portion of viper's blood was heat
ed to 5SS G. and maintained at this
for quarter of an hour.
Guinea pigs inoculated with this blood
not only did not die, but were proof
against NEGOTIATIONS of fresh blood,
which would, if mt first employed, cause
instant death. New York Ledger.

Isle ROYaIe.

4 letter from the peu Of Mr.. Jacob
sioughton lately appeared in the Icon Ore,
reierring to the mineral deposits on the
above isle, and which brought to our re-
membrane a conversation We had with
Ar. L. j. Hubert, some two years ago,
upon the rocks OF keweenaw Point and
of the Aforesaid isle, and which, seeing
what our friend, Mr.. Nate Leopold, has
been able 70 do, has caused Us to arrive
at the conclusion that Isle Royale offers
much larger and grander field for specu-
lation in exploring with rich results the
greatest trouble, as the News sees it, is
20 get the proper parties interested in
the matter.
The NEWS has thought the matter over
aud believes that the three best men to
push such a matter would be Messrs.
Jacob HoughtoD, John G. Hodgson and
e, j. Huber. all of whom are skilled ex
plorers and we'll acquainted with the
phenomena O be dispositions OF copper
IN the stratah.a alton of the Lake Superior
rocks. TnrF nay not each be inclined to
the same theory, but that, perhaps,
might be all tie better, since the search
along the difficult field OF Isle Royale
would, most likely, not be conducted
under one theory. These three veteran
explorers were known in their day az
men OF extreme reticence, yet always
absolutely faithful TO their employers.
IT may be said that these three HIS are
100 lar along in years to undertake a
work arduous az, no doubt, an explora-
ton OF Isle Royale would be; but, from
our knowledge of them, we feel there is
sufficient blood in them" yet to prove
up the mineral deposits OF that island.
Each one OF the aboye-named explorers
10 familiar with the rocks OF the island,
Houghton to the greatest degree; HUI
bert, we think, conclusively proved that
the long-hidden contents of the ancient
pit OF the Calumet location were mined
out by the ancient miners at Isle Royale:
hodgson was familiar with the workings
OF the Washington, Siscowit and Minong
mines. The editor has seen maps, Sec
tions and plotted calculations, made by
Hubert in 1871, showing the equivalent
character OF the Isle Royale rocks, those
OF Silver lslet, OF Thunder Cape and OF
the VermiIlion iron district, which form
the synclinal basin OF Lake Superior.
The late Samuel w. Hill, an explorer con-
temperaneous with Houghton, felt GER
tain that the Silver Islet vein was con-
Hnuation OF the famous Cliff transverse
vein OF Point Keweenaw, and the course
OF that great vein would seem to prove
Hills theory to have been correct.
Mr.. Houghton, in his letter speaks of
$4,000 as beng required to make the
exploration. Surely there would be no
difficulty in procuring such a sum, seeing
the magnitude OF the work and the i'm
mense reward that would be likely to fol-
low, should the aforesaid gentlemen be
enlisted in the work and agree to take
charge OF the explorations.

HIS NEIGHBOURS WIFE.

One year ago, in lonely state.
I'd sit and gaze across the way
Into home where. early, late,
Atall hours things were bright and gay
A couple, young and free from care.
Alas, how dreary seemed my life,
For she was blithe and witching fair,
The girl called my neighbours wife.
One year agol How could they guess
That glimpses of their paradise
And tokens of their happiness
We're oft observed by envious oyesf
learned to hate the other man:
swore that no had wrecked my life,
For could but have changed the plan
She'd not have been my neighbours wife.
One year ago, and now there sits
Beside me, witching, fair and gay,
The girl loved. and now there fits
Another girl across the way.
Yet I'm not false, nor tickle he,
And he and are friends for life.
She was his sister, don't you seer
And now she is his neighbours vito.
