shirker collapsed. He was taken to an

a comatose condition, hearing nothing,
needing nothing. The surgeon, a new

CHANGED to be keen-witted man, and
after taking in the situation he ban
daged the fellows eyes, motioned to
private to take his feet, while he him
self took the head, and without more
ado dumped the comatose shirker

Strange Connection of White Cat with

An old pal of mine meeting me on the

easy matter to break in, and we soon
i had all there was worth taking. In a
little room at the end Of the hall a

lamp showed the pretty cot, the fair
flushed face of little girl, her golden
hair streaming over the snowy pillow,
and crouching by her side a white cat,
whose pink eyes glittered like stars.
We had to pass through this room, and

Paper Floors in Germany.

Paper floors are enjoying a steadily
Increasing popularity in Germany,
which is readily explained by the
many advantages they possess over
wooden flooring. An important adj
vantage consists in the absence of
joints, whereby accumulations of dust,
vermin, and fungi, dangerous to
health, are done away with. The new
paper floors are bad conductors of
heat and sound, and in spite of their
hardness have linoleum-like, soft
feel to the foot. The costs are con-
siderably lower than those of floors
made of hard wood. The paper mass
receives a small addition of cement
as binder, and is shipped in bags, in
powder form. The mass is stirred into
a stiff paste, spread out on the floor
pressed down by means of rollers, and
painted with lakewood, nutwood, OF
mahogany color, after drying.

The Adventures of Three Sailors Cast

The Adventures of Three Sailors Cast
Away on a Pacific Isle.
When the steamship Cottage City
arrived at San Francisco from New
York to join the Klondike trade 1t car
ried three ship wrecked sailors, picked
up at Valparaiso.
They were Jack O'Neil of San Fran
cisco, William Walsh of New York and

tie, Australia, to Panama, when the
bark sprung leak" said O'Neil, at the
Sailors Home. Captain Newhall put
us at the pumps, and he soon conclud-
ded that we would have to run for
Easter Island. This island, mind, is
away off the coast of Chile, about g.
500 miles from anywhere.
"The captains idea was to run the
bark ashore, so he wasn't particular
what course he took, and, as hard luck
would have it, we banged into reef
That settled 1t, and we barely sue
ceeded in getting ashore with our lives.
Easter Island is about twenty miles
. long and eight or nine miles wide. It
is inhabited by simple and hospita-
BILE lot of Kanakas-about 1870 of them
in all. There is king at the head,
and there are three or four chiefs or
officers, who seem to hold Office by
right of age.
''The king took fancy to me. He
unceremoniously conducted me to his
house-a rude cabin of sticks, dried
mud and thatch. The captain and the
rest of the crew had to put up with
the homes of the ordinary citizens, but
we all had about the same amount Of
beef and sweet potatoes to eat. These
are the only foods We saw on the is
land, and as the cattle run wild and

An Unfortunate Linguist.

John was an ambitious Chinaman.
He had made money in Chinatown,
San Francisco, but had devoted him
self to business so thoroughly that he
remained totally ignorant of English.
He came to New York determined to
avoid his Cinnamon, SO that he
might learn to speak English during
his six months stay in the metropolis.
He took a room in an East Side
house, paid promptly, made himself
agreeable to his landlord, who allowed
him to wait on customers in his little
grocery store, and he never went near
Pell or Mott street. After several
months residence in New York and
many hours Of study, the Chinaman
ventured forth among his people,
where he proceeded to give an exhibit
ton of his, proficiency in the English
language What he said sounded
strange to the other Cinnamon, and the
ambitious one nearly swooned when he
discovered that he had learned Ger
man by mistake.
His New York home was in the Ger
man part of the city where English is
an unknown tongue, and the poor fell
low had to begin his linguistic work
over again.

Australian Horses.

The land of the kangaroo and the
wombat, where the mammal was moth
ing unless marsupial, till the European
arrived on the scene, may now be call
ed the land of horses. In New South
Wales the sight of beggar on horse
back excites no surprise. The poorest
settler has a nag or two of his own,
and his children may be seen riding to
school like little lords. A one-horse
township would be inconceivable in a
country where each village, almost, has
Its race meeting. With a population
scarcely over 1880, 900, the colony owns
more than 100000 horses. And she now
exports horses on rapidly increasing
scale. In 1895 the colony exported L.
063 horses of the estimated value of
G12,745; in 1896 the number was 8,138,
value G123,500, and last year there was
q further increase, India being the
leading customer, Australian horses
being found admirably adapted for mil
ltary purposes in that part of the Brit
lsh empire. Horses are exported also
from New South Wales to Victoria,
New Zealand, Western Australia, Fiji,
the Straits Settlements, Java and the
Philippine Islands.

FALL THE WHILE"

We may make new homes In coun-
tries
Far across the azure sea,
And the paths that know our foot
steps
In fairer land may be;
But though scenes of rarer beauty
May our wistful eyes beguile-
There'll be no home like the old home
That we cherish all the while
AS we wander through the wide world,
Seeking fortune, friends, and fame,
Many hands will reach to grasp ours,
Many lips will speak our name;
But of all the kindly faces
That for us will wear a smile,
There'll be no friend like the old
friend,
That has loved us all the while! !;
Other hearts will learn to love us, 4
Making sunshine on our way, lu
Tender links of new affections y
Will enchain us day by day; III
But as onward still we journey, IN
Growing wearier mile by mile, !
There'll be no love like the old love,
That has blest us all the while.

thrifty man went to an auction to
bid for a bookcase which he was sadly
in need of. In due course the thing
was put up, and there we're several bid
ders for it.
The man continued to bid, but he
was harrassed by some woman who
was bidding against him. The wo-
man was in the crowd on the other
side, and he could not see her, but he
was determined to have it, and he bid
up pretty high.
Finally it was knocked down to him,
and the auctioneer asked his name.
He gave it, and arranged to have the
case sent home.
Just as he started out of the door
some one tugged at his sleeve. He
turned, and there was his wife.
Knowing that he wanted bookcase,
she had come down to buy one cheap
and surprise him, and it was she who
had been bidding against her husband.

To help set stricken Cuba free;
No man among the soldier band
Was more admired than he.
But they sent him home, and ne'er
again
May he assume warriors part;
To-day the women shun him, for
Alas, he's got cigarette heart!
