out of an unexpected visit from young

kept him in Berlin so long.

THE COMING OF LOVE.

By the chance dropping OF tiny seed,
And then from moon TO moon with steady

Though torn by winds and chilled with heed

Till i'm its might the heavens themselves could

SENSATION OF A DROWNING MAN.

I was swimming at some distance
from the shore in the tropics, and when
/ turned In homeward direction
found that the current was too strong
for me, and that, do what l could, I
was being swept In an easterly direct
ion; and as the coast-line trended
northward, this was equivalent to being
taken out to sea. The sense Of being
once more in the clutch of an omnipo-
tent and memorable force Of the sea
overwhelmed me with dismay. I re-
membered with horror all the sensa-
tons that had attended my earlier ex-
perience Of drowning, and to this ap-
prehension was added the knowledge
that there was some, though not a
great, danger from sharks. looked
shoreWards and Stewards, and saw to
my joy that small coral islet or rock,
a few feet square, lay in an easterly
direction, and that by outstanding my
strength 1t might be practicable to
reach it. Alternately swimming and
floating I was overcome by a terrible
fatigue, and as my strength failed 1 be-
came conscious of the fact that great
disaster was at hand. Almost aban-
doning hope, I was involuntarily inter-
ested in contrasting the sensations ex-
perienced under the shadow of the
death that was impending with the
feelings under similar circumstances
| fifteen years before. 1t suddenly &C.
Cured to me that If shouted with all
my remaining strength the sound might
| reach the shore, and that canoe might
| be manned and put out for my rescue,
| and might reach me In time.
| Although I was not aware of the fact,
my cries had been heard. Half-swim-
| ming, half-drifting with the tide, had
managed to swallow sufficient salt
water to produce partial lnsensibility;
but by some good fortune, and almost
unconsciously, it seems that 1 managed
to reach the coral rock to which refer
ence has been made. Although I felt
no pain at the time. the sharp edges of
the coral growth severely cut my hands
and body, and was bleeding freely
when overtaken by boat which, with
| out my knowledge, had put out to save
me. 1 suddenly became conscious of
| the presence Of my rescuers, and auto
| matically grasped with frantic clutch
| the knife-like edges of the coral fronds,
| which grievously lacerated my fingers.
| Whether it was the smell Of blood or
mere accident at the time when I was
! lifted from the water into the canoe. a
| shark was almost touching me; but the
noise and splashing made by the men
in the boat successfully frightened him
away. have no recollection of being
lifted into the canoe, but was in a dead
| faint for some minutes. At no time
during this latter experience was con-
scious of the slightest tendency to sur
| vey my past life, or to deplore the sins
and failings which / share in common
with the rest of humanity.-Cassells

have never seen real sailor fold
rope" or dust the sides of a Ship as
Mr.. Jerome declares stage sailors do,
but 1 have seen them busy at curious
kinds of work; sewing on little hand
machines, for instance, crocheting, en-
broidering, and making macrame lace,
and 1T was always beautifully done.
An American sailor once offered us a
bit of work for a church bazaar.
| Il never saw anything so lovely!"
exclaimed.
| TITS nothing to my undershirt
ma'am," he said; and pulling open his
blouse he displayed that garment. IT
was of flannel, cut square in the neck
and heavily embroidered in white silk
about two inches deep, in a pattern OF
intertwined rosebuds and leaves.
OF course 1 do not say that there are
no drunken sailors, who are very rough
and sometimes make disturbances and
break the peace; but l consider that, as
general rule, the genuine Jack Tar Is
respectful, clean, smart and even
good-lool1ing fellow; and that the pref
ty sailor on the stage, who bitches his
| trousers wears his cap on the back of
his curly head, laughs at the audience
and dances a graceful hornpipe, Is a
true study from life, in spite ofthe sar-
castle criticisms of Mr.. Jerome K. Je-
rome.-Argonaut.

MILLIONS OF UNWELCOME PAS
SENGERS.

When the schooner Golden Sheaf ar
rived at her moorings on Friday with a
cargo of logwood everybody on board,
from the Captain down to the cook
rushed frantically ashore, as though
pursued by some unseen enemy.
AS a matter of fact, the vessel was
literally swarming with hordes of
hungry Jamaica ants. The little pests
had invaded the lockers and dived
headIong into the sugar barrels. After
finishing the contents of these they
proceeded to bore holes through the
supply of hard tack, and ate everything
before them, until it was feared that
the stock of provisions on board would
run short. There was a cessation from
their attacks on Tuesday last, the YES
sci having been caught in a. West India
hurricane, which flooded the cabin and
drenched everything below. 1t was
supposed that the intruders had all
been drowned, but after the storm had

The name of Lawrence r. Weir be-
longs with that of John Maynard and
Giles. the engineer. On Christmas
day a trolley car carrying thirty pas
sengers was running from Bethlehem
to Allentown, Pa. At the base of a hill
where the electric road crosses the
tracks of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, Weir, the motorman, stop
ped his car. The conductor ran ahead,
looked up and down the track, and
shouted, "All right" The motorman
started the car. At the same moment
train which had been hidden by a
curve, shot into view. Weir saw his
danger in time to jump, but he thought
Of the passengers and kept his post.
He stopped the car with it's front plat
form on the railroad track, and the
train six feet away. Not a passenger
was killed, but Wehr's mangled body
was found on the pilot of the engine.
The country which is honored by such
deed ought to be proud to support the
widow and eight children Of this man
who was faithful unto DEATH" But
they were left penniless and are now in
sad circumstances. The soulless cor
poration will give nothing. No mil
lionaires' checks have came to bright
Ell the saddened home. Perhaps the
people with little mites will take the
matte. in hand.
