despised the captain. The captain, on his part, never spoke but when he was spoken to, and then sharp and short and dry, and not a word wasted. He owned, when driven into q corner, that he seemed to have been wrong about the crew, that some of them were as brisk as he wanted to see, and all had behaved fairly well. As for the ship. he had taken q downright fancy 10 her. Shell lie point nearer the wind than a ncan has a right to expect of his own married wife, sir. But" he would add. "all I say is, we're not home again, and I don't like the cruise.'
 The squire, at this, would turn away and march up and down the deck, chin in air.
 "A trifle more of that man. he would say, ''and I should explode"

 ''Never knew gooG to come of it yet" the captain said to Dr. Livesey. Spoil 'oll's'le hands, make devils. That's my oelief.'
 But good cid come of the apple bar rel, as you sha,; hear; for if it had not been for that, we should have had no note of warning and might all have perished by the land of trcachery.

We never had night at the Admiral Benbow when I had half the work; and I was dog-tired when, q little before dawn, the boat swain sounded his pipe, and the crew began to man the capstan-bars. might have been twice as weary, yet would not have left the deck; all was so new and interesting to me-the brief com mands, the shrill notes of the whistle, the men busting to their places in the glimmer of the ships lanterns.

SHOCKED THE sULTAN's NERVES.
Four Millions 60 Repair His Old Battle ships-Will Limp Back Home.

ShipS-Will Limp Back Home.
 London, Feb. 12.-The Turkish sul- tan's nerves received a severe shock a day or two ago. During the war with Greece his enjoyment of the triumph of Turkish arms was Inarred only by the pitiful figure which his so-called fleet cut, and he registered VOW to prevent a recurrence of such a humili- ation. Accordingly, half of the war in demnity, payable by Greece was hy- pothecated for naval reorganization, but when the money was paid the sul- tan had other and more pressing calls upon his exchequer, and when they were satisfied nothing was left for the poor old navy. ''', '-
 At the end of last year the minister of marines importunities so far pre- vailed that the sultan agreed that three of his best ironclads, averaging twenty years of age, should be sent to An saldC's dock yard at Genoa, to be re- constructed, with the understanding that the cost would not exceed q couple of million dollars. The old ships were patched up and sent to sea with good deal of fear and trembling. Contrary to expectation they got to Genoa safe ly. actually making between six and seven knots. The sultan was so proud that he sent Admiral Hali Bey a grac- ious telegram or approval. AnsaIdO's surveyors soon got to work and extract ed from their la'oOrs q good deal Of harmless nnerriment. They now have reported that at least four millions will have to be spent on the old warships to make them effective. Ansaldo. clap ping on another million as a modest profit, sent the estimate to Constanti- norle, where its receipt this week made the sultan furious As likely as not the three old ironclads will have to limp back home

CONVENT DROPS ILLNESSES
nadameS of inc Sacred Heart at
 Omaha ExpeI Students.

Omaha, Neb.. Feb 12-The fashion able boarding school conducted by the madams of the Sacred Heart in Omaha is in an uproar and to many Omaha people it begins to look as if the anti Semitic agitation that is shaking the French republic is making itself felt here in the center of the Americ n continent. The fact that eight Jewish young women have been required to leave the Catholic convent and school of the Sacred Heart has stirred up a commotion in the local churches that is almost unprecedented in their hiS- tory, and priests and laymen are alike condemning the policy as opposed to the principles of the Catholic church in America.
 The exact facts in the matter are known only to the madams, who are in authority ih the order, and their lips are sealed, but the clergy declare the action is the direct result of the recent visit of Mother General Digby and that unless it is recalled it will be a source of lasting injury to the church.
 The mother general of the Order Of the Sacred Heart is an Englishwoman, but long residence in France is said t0 have given her a decided bias in favor of French ideas. She has recently been occupied by an official trip through the United States, during which she visited the conVents of the order in Omaha, St. Louis and a number of other citias.
 Mother Digby was in Omaha only a day or two and was treated with Cis- tinguished consideration by the rep resentativeS of the local churches. But more recently it has been whispered in Catholic circles that it would have been better if the mother general had seen fit not to include this city in her itinerary. The feeling was intensifie during the last few days when the Jewish students dropped cut of the school, and it was openly stated bY prominent Catholics that they had been dismissed as result of a direct order from the mother general. That this is true is denied by Mother Su- perior Hibbitts, who is the local head of the institution.
 Mother Hibbitts at first declare ed that nothing of the sort had occurred. She admitted that number of Jewish students had left the school but con- tended that this was by virtue of an amicable understanding with their parents, and that it had no relation to the recent visit of the mother general.
 She very decidedly declined to state the reasons for their withdrawal, say ing that it was a very trifling matter and some very mistaken explanation has gone out, particularly among the clergy.
 After a good deal of questioning the mother superior admitted that the question of religion had figured in the 1 abrupt departure of the students. She | said a religious test had been pre- scribed, which they could not possibly | accept.
 On the other hand, some Of the lead- ing Catholic clergy in Omaha do not | hesitate to declare that the removal Of | the students is the result of an order | from the mother general and that her | French prejudice against the Jewish | people is the sole motive in the pro ceedings.

The usual knot of people that had
gathered on the sidewalk to look on,
as people always do when horse falls
down, saw in this case something that
was new to at least some of them. The
horse, the off one of a pair hitched to
a truck, had gone down on a snow-cov-
cred and slippery asphalt pavement.
The driver cleared away all the har-
ness, loosed all the fastenings so that
of movement, and then did the one
thing that was new. He got from the
truck a big piece of burlap bagging
and went back to the horses head and
prepared to place it under the horses
forefeet. He spread it under the
horses off forefoot first, because that
was the one he came to first coming
from the truck, arranging it on the
ground close to the foot and then lift
ing the foot and leg and pushing the
burlap under it.
Then he went around the horses
head to repeat the operation with the
nigh foot, and when he got all ready

lift it, the horse lifted his foot him
self, while the driver simply carried
it forward to it's proper place on the
burlap. Then, with this good, secure
hold for his feet the horse got up on
the slippery pavement with no diff
Guilty whatever, and the driver hooked
him up again and drove on.
