Wanderers of the Sea.

Nearly all of the old-time pirates
nave disappeared from the seas, but
there are yet many ocean mauraders
q a are almost as much dreaded as
these outlaws, Of the black flag. Often
times when a ship goes down at sea it
is deserted by it's crew and left at the
mercy of the waves. If it is a wooden
ship and turns over in just the proper
way or fails to fill entirely, it will
sometimes float for years, the sport of
every storm. It is then known as a
derelict, and every seaman fears it, for
should he steer his craft into it on some
dark night it might stave a hole in his
prov, and derelict and ship go down
together. There is no chart that can
place these wanderers, no telling just
where they may be, and they are there
fore doubly dangerous. Oftentimes a
derelict will remain wandering about
the ocean. for many years. 1t will get
1nto.:the gulf stream and be swept
across the Atlantic, and up to the coast
OF England; then it will sweep down
the. shores Of Europe. in the vast ocean
eddy recross the Atlantic and go
northward again in the gulf stream.
Every mariner that sights it reports to
the naval authorities and it is marked
on. the. monthly charts SO that ship
captains may look out for it. Some
timss,,if it is a big derelict, a gunboat
is'sent> out on a chase to look for it,
n II 1t is found the sailors charge it
with dynamite and it is blown eff the
face of; the seas forever.
Only last week an American vessel
making the port of Bristol. England,
reported the wreck of. the British
steamer Furtor, which is drifting as a
derelict across the Atlantic, and an
English warship will no doubt be sent
to blow it up. :.

"ohh, would you mind taking the doll
back and keeping it for me a little

Certainly, I will take it back, and

The child took the money and turned
to the door. She placed the whole of

He stared at it for a moment, and his
eyes filled with tears.
"Please go quickly and buy some

Conquest by Love.

A soldier in the army of the Potomac
was the terror of his company. He was
~d1sobedient, cruel, quarrelsome, and
vicious. AS a result he was often ter
ribly punished, but there was no refor-
nation. In due time, by the fortunes
Of war, a captain of another regiment
was placed in command of that COM
pany. The very first day the orderly
sergeant informed the captain of the
terrible character of this incorrigible
soldier. That afternoon the nan per-
petrated some misdemeanor, was ar
rested by a sergeant, and brought be-
fore the captain. He looked at him for
q moment, and speaking to the sergeant
said:
LET him go to his quarters"
Shall I keep him under guard?" in
CURED the sergeant.
"Oh. no." said the captain, quietly.
That evening the captain called. his
sergeant and said: !:
GO down to MI. Blanks quarters,
and tell him to come up to my TENT: I
wish to see him."
"Shall I bring him up under guard? q
inquired the sergeant. :;
"Oh, no.. said the captain. s%'..Jtst
tell him to come. I guess he'll come, II
you tell him." .
=. In due time the soldier stood inside
the captains tent. cap in hand. He
was of fine physique, brave and dar-
ing.
: "Take q seat, SIR" said the captain.
The soldier obeyed, but all the time
looking defiance. The captain inquired
Of his home, his relations, etc., and
then said:
IT have heard all about you, and
thought I would like to see you pri-
vately and talk with you. You have
been punished often-most times, no
doubt, justly, but perhaps sometimes
unjustly. But I see in you the making
of a flrst-class soldier-just the kind
that l would like to have a whole com-
pany of; and, now, If you will obey or
ders, and behave as a soldier should,
and as I know you can, I promise on
my honor as a soldier that I will be
your friend, and stand by you. I do
not want you to destroy yourself"
With that the soldiers chin began to
culver, and the tears trickled down his
cheeks, and he said:
Captain, you are the first man to
speak a kind word to me in two years,
and for your sake I'll do it."
"Give me your hand on that. my
brave fellow" said the captain. "Ill
trust you"
And from that day on there was not
a better or mor exemplary soldier"in
the army of the Potomac. Love con-
quered him. :'*

Smallest Book in the World.


The smallest book in. the world is not
much larger than a mans thumb nail.
1t was made in Italy by a firm of
Padua publishers, the Salmin Broth
ers: It is four-tenths of an inch high
and about a quarter of an inch wide.
The volume contains 2OS. pages, each
having nine lines and from s5 to 100
letters. The text is an. unpublished
letter written by the famous inventor
of the pendulum clock to Nine. Chris
tine of Lorraine in the year:1615.: The
next smallest book is issued, by the
same firm. 1t is an edition of Dante's
"Divine Comedy" being a little more
than an inch high, a little less than an
inch wide, with type so small that it
takes a microscope to read the letters.

The Electric Mule.

One of the most important factors in
the mining of coal today is the electric
mule. After the electric drill has done
its work and the coal is shoveled into
cars they r gathered together with
the aid of a mule or electric locomotive
and arranged into long trains, which
are hauled to the mouth of the mine by
powerful electric locomotives. These
are made Of narrow gauge, of small
dimensions, SO as to be capable of use
in galleries and runs where mules can
not be used without extra cutting.
