A Moral in the Story,

The cook was leaving to get married.
The mistress paid her her wages and
gave her little present for herself. The
tin box was on the cab, and Bridget was
on the point of stepping in, when Fido
waddled out as if to bid farewell.
"Good-by, old Fido," said Bridget;
there's a bob for you. I am sure you
have earned 1t, seeing I have not
washed a plate since have been here"

I loved my wife with oil my heart,
but even I wouldn't have believed she
had the pluck to face death, and such
fearful, lingerin' death, so quiet as
she did, and so cheerful like.
Why, she never grumbled nor
cried, and We strong men did-yes,
we did, that's a fact, special after
the food give out, and we begun to
feel the hunger workin' on us.
I tried to slip some of my share of
the food while it lasted, into Bessie's
portion, and so did the 'ther men.

Ii it hadn't been for Bessie, I do be,
lieye we'd have gone out OF cur minds,
waitin' there i'll the pitch dark, for Of
course our candles had soon burnt
out, and that last was the only thing
that gave me any hope of bein'
rescued, for I noticed that the candles
didn't flicker nor pint ct US at all,
hut just burned steady and clear till
they was burnt out.
Ny Bessie, she set herself to cheer
us up, talkin' about God and the
beautiful homes He had made ready
for those who repented of their sins,
and up to the fifth day she prayed for
us, and sung hymns; but after that
she was too weak to do more than
| talk a little, still quiet and cheerful,
and tryin' all the time to make us feel
resigned.
The sixth day-I lad watch, and
kept it wound up, or We couldn't have
told thing about night or day-wo
was all lyin', weak and still, on the
rough coal-bed, when on sudden
Bessie jumped on her feet aad raised
her hands for us to be quiet. I thought
at first she'd gone deliris, as Baxter
was nigh doin', but in Il miaute we all
heard what her quick ears had caught
first.
A faint knockin', that sounded like
blows OH wall. All. that was the
cheeriest SQUAD that any of us ever
heard in our lives
The blood rushed to our haggard
cheeks, and wo lenned to our feet,

God to give us strength for few
hours lorger.
Nearer and rearer, louder and loud

fallin' bits of rock, and then all at
once the noise stopped, and we heard
nothin' more fer several hours.
Then we felt that for some reason
the attempt to reach us had failed, and
well, the change was too much to
bear, and I suppose we tainted, for
that's how they found us when at last
the break was made in the wall. I
heard afterwnrd that the noise stopped

fellows! The flame kuowed what was
goin' to happen, though we didn't.
We found their bones, year after

Bugles Reveile to PipedoWn
JACK AT WORK. AM. AT PLAY.

NEW YORK CRY Especially The
life of the sailors aboard Admiral
Dewey's flagship, the cruiser Olympia,
is duplicate OF the routine peculiar
to every other boat in the United
States Navy. Tile discipline has not
been relaxed because the jack tars ac-
quilted themselves so we'll at Manila.
On the contrary, an extra effort is
made by the crew to hold by good be-
havior in peace the laurels thoy won
in time of war. The memo wars men
of the Olympia are feted and petted
while ashore, but once under the Ad-
mirals eye they return to the stern
realities of life on the ocean wave.
1t is rot very fascinating or wildly
hilarious life that of the man forward
on board modern warship. There is
q monotony and sameness of things
that eat into the heart at times, and it
is only the excitement caused by a
wreck or storm or series of battles
like that recently experienced that
lends welcome air of diversion to the
naval day. Torise 1880 to the harsh
notes of bugle and drum is the or
der, except during the few winter
months, when half hours grace lis
permitted. The "musics," as the
marine drummers and buglars are
called, are summoned ten minutes be-
fore time by the corporal of the guard.
The two lads, rubbing the sleep from
their eyes, take their stand near the
forward hatch, and, at the word from
the officer of the deck, break into the
stiffness of the carly morning with an

snon FINISHED tho Picture.

The painter Hawkins, at 90 years
of age, was the centre of acclamation,
but at the close of his life he is de-
scribed as having lived in O FOOLS par
adise, content with himself and fat
tening on the empty praise he had
won. The mischief lay in the fact
that he was an excellent boon COM
panion.
On one occasion he was asked by a
Mr.. Ackers, n member of parliament,
to accompany him and one or two
Others to Paris, the host promising to
give him a holiday and pay all his
expenses.
Hawkins objected. 'I'm busy on
a picture" said he, 'and 1 want
to finish it for exhibition.
"Never mind that, returned Ackers,
"bring it with you and paint it there. "
Hawkins yielded, as he alway did
in the end, and the picture was put
into the carriage. AS they were driv-
ing along Mr.. Ackers asked to be
allowed to look at it, and when it was
uncovered he said: ''What do you
want for it ?'
CT shall want fifty pounds for it
when it's fnished," answered Haw-
kips.

Breakfast over, the men have until
9 to smoke, then all hands are turned
to and the ship is cleaned up for quar-
ters. This latter ceremony is con-
Quoted daily, rain or shine. During
week days the morning hours are
generally devoted to drill. a settled
schedule is made out when the ship
goes into commission, and this is
strictly adhered to. Each ship has
its general quarters, fire quarters,
collision drill, abandon ship, arm and
away boats, broadsword exercise, or
something of similar character, and
from $50 until noon the decks are
alive with men under instruction.
Dinner is followed by short rest,
and at l o'clock "turn to" is sounded
again. During the afternoon five
days of the week the crew is kept at
work attend ing to the multifarious
duties of the ship. Saturday after
noon is considered half holiday, the
smoking lamp is lighted, and if the
ship is in port the men are allowed to
see visitors and enjoy themselves ac-
cording to their individual inclina-
tions. With mess-gear in the early
evening, the working day ends. Sup

The oyster openers are class by
themselves, as distinct and clannish
as the 'longshoremen for ocean liners.
They receive 81 thousand, and 1t
is a poor shucker that cannot earn So
in days work of eighthours. Many
of them earn IS and 50.
There are as many ways of opening
an oyster az there are of carving o
duck, and each shucker thinks that
his way Is the best. 1t depends upon
where man has been brought up to
the business. Men who have been
brought up in New York use nothing
but the knife, but they use it in diff
ferent ways. Not one man in hum
dred is a good side knife opener.
Other men who use nothing but the
knife simply stab the oyster. Epicures
declare that this spoils it, but oyster
men say that for the general trade it
makes little difference. If shucker
has been brought up in the South,
Baltimore or Norfolk, for instance, he
uses hammer as well as a knife in
opening Nh oyster.

The spotlessly clean decks of naval
vessels are proverbisl. This cleanli-
ness, which seemed novel even to royal
eyes, is the result of hours of hard,
constant work every morning on board
every ship in the service. 1t is to the
executive officer that all praise or
blame in reference to the condition OF
o ship belongs, and directly after tho
crew has had its early coffee he is on
deck personally experimenting the
holystoning and scrubbing and per-
haps painting. Herelieves the officer
of the deck, who goes below for light
lunch, and then sees that the boat

different parts of the ship distribute

saw Baxter and his mate a-runnin'
toward us with all their might.
1.-The waters broke through" they
shouted, when they saw us. ''Get
into one of the up-slopes, for your
lives!"
didn't need no second warnin'.
The water was rushin' by up to my
knees before they had done, and I
Just snatched Bessie cut OF the car and
dashed, or rather plowed, along as
fast ss could, Baxter helpin me, till
we all got safe into the nearest rise,
and by that time the water was up to
the roof in the main level.
We ran till we got to the highest
point of the SLOPE, and then we
stopped and looked at each other by
the light of our lamps-leastwise by
Baxter's and his mates, for mine was
lett on the car, of course, and the
white color we all was showed startlin'-
like through the black streaks, maxim
us look more like goblins than human
bein's.
At first we could only wonder how
deep the water was goin to get before
it stopped risin'; for all we knowe3,
for awhile, it looked as if we was
goin' to be drownded, after all, like
rats in trap.
The water rushed up the slope rapid
at first, and then crept up slower and
slower, till, when it got about ten
yards from us, it stopped risin', and
then we had time to think bit about
what it all meant.
It wasn't pleasant thinkin', either;
for we miners knowed just what we
had to expect-to be starved to death
where we was; for it didn't seem as if
human hands could help us bit;
shut up in that narrow, black tunnel;
far. far below the blessed sunlight.
Oh, how cursed myself for lettin'
my Bessie come down with me! I
hope there amt many men as has
to suffer the remorse did then-and
ever since, for that matter-and I felt
all the worse, if that could be, when
the brave little woman put her arms
around me, and said she was glad she
was there; that she'd rather die with
me than live without me; and that if
she had been above ground, she would
be grievin' more for me than now,
when she could help me and suffer
with me.
1t was hard pull, and no mistake.
There we was with just enough food
among us to last for two days, by bein'
careful, and we was thankful for that
much. It wasn't usual for the men
to take their dinners down in the
mine, but Baxter's stall was so far
from the shaft, that he and his mate,
to save time and walkin', took theirs
along, and, as it happened, 1 had
brought scme lunch, thiukin' Bessie
might want somethin' before was
ready to take her back.
So we could get along without suf-
ferin' so much for two days, but after
that?
1t sickeus me now to think Ct the
horror of that time. 1t was bad
enough to think of us three men starv-
in to death, but when it came to my
poor, brave Bessie sharin' such an
awful fate, why, it just broke me
down.
But her-Lord bless her!-you've
got to see woman pnt to test like
that before you find ont all the git
that's in her.
