 The story of the smells and jingles is one that has been enjoyed by many generations of Japanese. It is told as follows:
 An old fellow in Yedo named Kich- ibei kept an eel shop, where he served up cells smoking hot to his customers. Kisaburo, his neighbor, wishing to save money, used to sit and eat his boiled rice next to the eel merchants s door and regale himself with the smell of the broiled eels. The mer- chant, finding this out, presents bill for smelling the cells. Kisaburo, not to be outwitted, brings his cash box and jingles it, saying:
 You have charged me for the smell of your cells and I have paid you with the sound of my money; we are now square,"
 A somewhat similar story may be found in Rabelais, third book, thirty seventh chapter; but the Japanese is undoubtedly the older version.

It seems probable he was glad to get him, for if the first lieutenant had not had a pret- ty good notion of his masters desires how would he have dared bring the boy aboard? The youngster was with out other clothes than those ne had on, and he was r1gged out in suits made of canvas by the delighted sailmaker
 Before the first engagement Lord Cochrane locked his son in the after cabin, but the youngster was not his son for nothing. He wormed himself through the quarter gallery window, joined his father on deck, and, strange as it may seem, was allowed to stay there. He stood there in his miniature midshipman's uniform and handed powder tins up and down to the gun ners. Presently a shot killed the ma rine next him, and he was covered with blood, but he rushed instantly to his father, crying:
 q am not hurt, papa. The shot did not touch me. Jack says the ball is not made that can kill mamma's boy.
 After that he was ordered below and carried away screaming, but victory ran in the family, so to speak, and he got on deck again and was at last allowed to stay there till the last gun was fired.-Philadelphi Press.

COCHRANE'S FIGHTING BOY.

Lord Cochrane was enc of the great est naval commanders England ever had. While he was serving Chile in 1877 as the commander in chief of her navy he fought an engagement with his 5-year-old son by his side. Lady Cochrane had to come from Santiago to Valparaiso to hee her husband off to the war. As she was looking out of the window of her house and listening to the gun that was summoning all hands on board for the last time she saw her little son in the arms of the first lieutenant, waving his cap and shouting, ''Vive la Patria!" as he was carried to the beach.
 The "Sea Lions" cub had insisted on going with his father, and before his frantic mother could reach him he was in the boat under way to the flag
