An Economical Cook.

A Chinaman will bake dinner for a
dozen with mere handful of fuel. The
boiler he uses is large and cone shaped,
being sometimes two feet in diameter
and one foot deep. It covers the fire
with merely small portion of the low
er part of the case, but the heat and
flames infold the rest. Water and rice
are put at the bottom with frame
over them, and on this are placed dishes
of fish, fowl and vegetables to boil. The
whole is covered with a wooden cover,
in the center of which is hole about
four inches in diameter, and in this an
other dish is often placed, the contents
of which are cooked by the steam.

Hereditary strength of the or.

The strength of an OK in pulling ::
load is remarkable How did it learn
to pull so marvelously? Without doubt
this quality is truceablc to the habit
found among all wild cattle Of wagins

park, in Northumberland. England.
where there is still herd Of half wild
cattle, 1t is found that the bulls engage
in desperate tussles for the leadership
Of the herd. Plainly any ambitious
beast which has not sufficient strength
Of neck to thrust his enemy backward
would be beaten in the struggle and
would have but few descendants. From
age to age the strong necked bulls have
been victorious. and now the quality
has become DrOyerb.

ON A DEAD CHILD.

There is nothing that seems the same to me
Since Jim went away. Iwonder if he
Hid the blue of the skies
In his little dead eyes.
They don't seem as blue as they used to be.
And the sun doesn t shine as it used to do,
Nor silveS the clouds when the rain breaks
through,
Ard the flowers don't bloom
With their old perfume,
And the birds don't sing their songs as true.
The house is SO silent, missing his noise,
The sob Of his sorrows, the laugh of his joys.
And the gathering dust,
With the thickening rust,
is spread like pail on his broken toys.
His old stick horse and his gun and his sled
J. leave in their place by his little bed.
Itold him that they
Were all in my way,
But they don't seem so nov since he is dead

A great contrast will often be found
to exist between authors and their

THE GEORGEANNA RIOT.
Thirteen Men Alleged to be Par
Elephants Arraigned.

NEW YORK, Oct S.-The thirteen
men alleged to have been participants 8
in the riot which occurred Saturday
aboard the Philadelphia steamer Geor-
geanna were arraigned to-day by q
City Magistrate.
Captain c. A. Norton of Hartford,
Conn, who organized the committee
of passengers which took possession Of
the steamboat and held the gang of
gamblers and blacklegs at bay until
the boat reached the pier, was present
to prosecute the men who had stabbed
at him and threatened to throw him
overheard. With him were several
other passengers.
The prisoners were Captain Alexan-
der Sterick Of the Georgeanna; his pi-
lots, Henry B. Post and Daniel Brown,
and Charles Berry, who had chartered
the boat, and the other alleged gam
blers, Edward P. Sherman, Frank
Jones, John Willis, George Lyons.
Charles Baldwin, William Sims, Will
lam H. Cutler, Robert Stone and James
Martin.
The evidence against Berry, de-
scribed as the ringleader of the gang,
showed that Berry was a desperate
character and that he had slashed
Captain Norton's coat with knife in
an effort to stab him.
Berry was held in $1,000 bail for
further examination on Wednesday.
Sherman, charged with splitting
open the scalp of Peter Perdue, was
held in 81 600 bail for examination on
the same day.
Captain Norton's testimony, which
was corroborated by the other wit
nesses, satisfied the magistrate that
Captain Sterick was aware that the
boat had been chartered by gamblers,
and that he was under their orders.
Norton testified that the Captain told
him he could go only where the men
running the faro, roulette, wheels or
fortune and dice games in the differ
ent parts of the boat wanted him.
The prisoner, however, when ques-
toned, denied any knowledge of any
gambling. He was fined S1O, and as
the witnesses all said that the pilots
had behaved themselves during the
excitement they were discharged.
On complaint of a civil and mechanic
engineer, Sterick, Brown and Post will
be arrested for taking him out to sea
without a license.
During the examination it was testi-
fed that the gamblers forcibly robbed
passengers of their watches, jeWelry
and pocketbooks. and escaped before
the police boat came alongside.

MINERS AT KoTzEBUE SCUM
Many Rescued Who Might Have
Suffered a Miserable Death.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct S.-The
steam yacht Townsend, owned by c..
d. Lane, the millionaire miner, has ar
rived here from Cape Nome She
brought down several miners who had
with them considerable gold dust.
Captain Wicks of the Townsend made
a trip to Kotzebue Sound from Cape
Nome in July. and rescued seventy of
the men who had gone there in the
hope of finding gold They were on the
point of breaking down for the want of
food and proper clothing, and would
undoubtedly have periShed miserably
if Lane had not sent his yacht to re-
move them to Cape Nome. Eighty
three others were taken to st. Michael
by the revenue cutter Bear Most of
them had scurvy, and many had lost
hands and feet by being frozen. 1t is
thought that the men rescued by the
Townsend will recover in the milder
climate of Cape Nome.

While waiting for Mr.. Lindsey to
come in the ship owner got his eye on
Mr.. Gladstone, and was watching him
closely. After doing so a little while
he thus addressed him.
Thou seems a good writer and clever
at figures. I'll give thou f100 a year,
and that's an offer thou'll not get every
day."
Mr.. Gladstone thanked him, and said
he would see Mr.. Lindsey.
Just then Mr. Lindsey entered. Then
Mr., Gladstone told Mr.. Lindsey of the
offer his friend had made him.
Mr.. Lindsey said it was very good
offer, but he did not know if Mr.. Glad
stone could be spared. Anyway, he
had better introduce them. Turning
to his friend, the ship owner, he said:
ALLOW me to introduce you TO w. Z.

quer-Mr. So-and-So, Sunderland" The
amazement of the ship owner cannot
be described.
