Chapoulot who, all at once understanding

Chapoulot, who, all at once understanding
that it is possible to forget ones purse, and
that of all friends a friend in need Is one
indeed, can only reply with smile:
"Monsieur-M. Blauchet, believes cents
for the omnibus and so cents for the cab,
that makes So cents l owe you. If you will
be good enough to dine with me this even
ing we will settle our affairs at once. AS
an old business man, like not outstanding
debts Besides, ready reckonings always
make good friends"
A quarter of an hour later the servant
puts third plate upon the table in the rue
de la Trocadero. A month later there is a
still larger party, when the wedding Of
Charlotte and Agenor is celebrated. And
M. Chapoulot will often say to those who
care to hear him:

lilies. / made once debt of IS cents and

insolently lending his cents, has had the
impudence to force his card upon you into

But, papa, could not return his money
if I did not know his address,"
M. Chaupolot has not word to answer to
this ingenious argument, but with gesture
of the intensest irritation throws down his
serviette upon the table.

evening"" he says to the old servant. Find

of the young man than she has dared to
say. For month past he has regularly
Travelled in the same omnibus, and she has
noticed that he has noticed, etc., etc.
Agenor, in his bachelor apartments, sits
thinking over his experience of the even
ing. Suddenly a sharp rap at the door, a
violent opening, and stout gentleman, out
of breath his hat upon his ears and cane in
hand, breaks in upon his dreaming.
"Monsieur!" exclaims the invader, "your
conduct is scandalous. You are not worthy

And the stout gentleman, trembling with
his vehemence, put his hand into his pocket
to get the money, when, before Agenor has

a new actor enters upon the scene. 1t Is
the cabman, all furious, with an oath upon

Upon the smoking lamp the crew, including
that mysterious adjunct of the paymas-
ter's department, Jack-of-the-Dust. de-
pend for light for their pipes. Jack-of-
the-Dust dives down into the depths of the
hold and brings up the navy plug, which. be-
ing cut into bits and crumbled between the
hands, Is put into a pipe and fired at The
smoking lamp.
The need for the smoking lamp arises
from the necessity of guarding the ship to
the utmost from danger of fire. Precau-
tions which seem ridiculous and unnecessary
to a landsman have been found by sad ex.
perience to be absolutely necessary on board
ship of war. The naval regulations pro-
vide severe punishment for any seaman
caught with matches on his person. Could
ii have been proved by the Spanish board of
inquiry that the sailors of the Maine had
been guilty of carrying matches about with
them they would have been justified by
naval experts the world over in declaring
that the destruction of the Maine was
due to the carelessness and lack of dscip-
line on board.
Such was not the case, however No sailor
on the Maine carried matches. He lit his
pipe at the smoking lamp and he only
smoked during those times that the smoking
lamp was lit. He never dared to go below
decks with a lighted pipe. If he had Jim
my Legs would have had him aft at the
stick and the executive officer would have
deprived him of shore leave for month at
least.
The smoking lamp is constructed upon the
same lines as a lantern, but the globe is
made of sheet iron instead of glass. In
the side there is small round hole through
which Jack may stick his pipe in order to
catch the flame. 1t is the duty of the ship 8

Time -Honored Institution Of British

One of the time-honored institutions of the
American and British navies is the smoking
lamp. Without the smoking lamp the
modern sailorman would be like a fish out

by the galley cook to light the smoking
