Lieutenant Hobson's deed of bravery on

Wight. whose drunken father apprenticed
him to the village tailor. who used him

France and England. One day news came
that an English fleet was in the offing.
Young Hobson ran down a back lane to the
shore, hoved off in the first rowboat he
found handy. pulled for the foremost vessel
and then and there enlisted in what proved
to be the admiraps own ship. Out at sea
they sighted the enemy. The two fleets en-

What are we trying to do?"

sailor, pointing to the Frenchmans mast

We'll. We want to get that down., said
the man.
Presently the English crew raised a
saw TO their horror that their flag was gone.
Instantly the order TO board was obeyed,
and after short resistance the French ship
surrendered. Who saw the French coors
shot down? Nobody could answer till a little
figure was seen sliding down the shroudS,
with something wrapped around his arm. 1t
was young Hobson. Unohserved he had

The agent of the United Hebrew Charities
at the barge office, who became interested
in the old mans matchmaking enterprise,
did all in his power to get the man out,
and when he finally was released at the re-
quest of a distant relative, who pledged
himself to support him until he found work,
it was arranged that the girl should go TO
service until her sweetheart was ready 10
marry her. A place was soon found for
her, and when she gathered up her scanty
effects TO leave the pen the old man said
to her with tears in his eyes:

SHOW TO HOLD YOUR LADY"
An Important Matter Omcially Deter
mined.
Chicago Evening Post.

Chicago Evening Post.
1t is pleasure to note that the American
Society of Professors of Dancing has taken
up that most important question, How 10
hold your lady In the waltz and other round
Dances" OF course, 1t may be suggested by
those who do not understand the serious
nature of these deliberations that IL might
be done with a rope. but that is really not
worthy of consideration.
The fact is as every one knows, ii has
been customary to hold your lady any old
way In days long past there was only one
way, and the aim Of that was TO permit the
couple to be somewhat graceful and not to
intrude their extended hands upon any 9TH
er couple. But that did not suit the dancing
masters-or at least some of them-and 50
they taught pupils, after the preliminary
waist grip had been secured, to extend the
arms not in use horizontally, clasp hands,
and then go through a wave motion that
was guaranteed to interfere with anyone
who got within three feet of them. Later
another change was made, and they were
instructed to point their clasped hands sky
ward. Then the young man was advised to
draw the young WOman'S hand back over
his left shoulder at an elevation of about
six inches and hold this awkward position
as long as his strength would permit. Still
later-But memory is treacherous, and
perhaps II is as just well not to attempt
to enumerate all the different ways of hold
ing hands in round DANCES.
The result naturally was confusion, and
it is now said that experts can tell the year
way he holds his lady" This year, accord
ing TO the professors, the proper thing, is
for the gentleman TO hold the lady by the
waist with the RICH hand, his left hand
falling naturally by his side. the left hand
of the lady resting upon the gentleman
upper arm. her right hand lightly holding
her skirts"
Young men should cut this out and paste
it on their cuffs for reference. so that they
may not humiliate themselves by taking a
hold not provided for in the rules.

QUEER DISCOVERY.
A Forgotten Tunnel Under London

Quite a remarkable discovery has been

as the London arrival ana departure statioIl
for Liverpool trains. 1t may fairly be cal led
a remarkable discovery, for ii Is lonG-for-

station to the general postotfice, close Dy
ST. Paul's Ii was built forty years ago for
the purpose of conveying mail matter from
the poStoffice TO Euston, and II cost the
company that carried out the work as ar IN
yeStrnent or speculation the equivalent OF
$4,000 The company was known as the
Pneumatic Dispatch Company. but the SCI
ence of pneumaticS was not understood in
those DAYS sufficiently well to successfully
operate so large a tunnel or tube, and the
enterprise having failed. the ends We're
closed up and seem TO have been entirely
forgotten until about three or four years
ago although it is about two miles and
half long and passes under many important
streets that have again ana ma again na,,1 Deen

now and then did a little diekering Win
il i'm an experimental way without making
any publicity with their actions.
The extent of the enterprise may be
judged by the, fact that the tunnel is four
shaped like a ID. with its straight side fat
on the ground. The old company has been
revived and in a short time the tunnel Will
be operated on the electric rail system, ex-
periments having shown that there is no
doubt of its success. Inc TWO score OF
wears that have passed since IL was closed
have done but little harm TO the cast iron
plates with which IL is lined, and but a
Comparatively small sum will put it in

Office both on Wednesdays and Saturdays,
the days when the official mails leave Eus-
ton for Queenstown to catch the steamers
from Liverpool. There is one hour each
day that eleven tons OF letters are sent
from the general postoffice TO Euston. and
al present these need about eight vans TO
carry them. and the vans, II the weather be
foggy and the streets greasy" do not reach
Euston inside of forty-five minutes.
Through the tunnel trains can be run OF
five cars carrying nine tons each and at
the rate of thirty miles an hour. while a
small tube is TO be added TO blow special
letters TO Euston just before the trains leave
at an extra fee of six pence each. These
extra fees are a great feature of the Eng
lsh postoffice system and they go long
way towards the huge profits the depart
ment makes for the government. For the
last fiscal year. for instance, the profits
came TO about G4,000.Oo0.
Yet. in spite of that, the postmaster gen.

American railroad president being his
Grace the Duke of Norfolk-will not ac-
