UNSEAWORTHY SHIPS.

A dispatch oun that one I'M
seaworthy ship, after a three days bat
tie with a typhoon, barely crept into
port in a half-sinking condition. On
this ship were some companies of I'm
tied States soldiers.
Another dispatch tells how another
unseaworthy ship has had to return for
repairs to Puget sound. The greed of
ship-owners Is proverbial. We recall
from memorythreePac lfic mai steamers
that have beaten into wrecks and have
gone down, simply because they were
either overloaded or were sem to sea
unprepared to meet the buffetings of
the sea. We published last week the
fact that in a few days of last January
ships carrying crews numbering over
5000 souls left the Atlantic ports of the
United States and were never heard Of
more. On this side of the continent
ship-owners and masters take risks Of
ten that they would never take on the
Atlantic side. This Is = the theory
Mist the Pacsleis a musN nilder ocean
than the Atlantic, and that the chances
of a tempestuous voyage are 80 per cent
aess on the Pacific than on the Atlantic.
The truth is that the Pacific. when it
tries, can get up quite as lively n storm
as can the Atlantic. Indeed it has a
better chance, for the undisturbed sweep
Of the wind can hold its course for
quite 10000 miles. Some years ago an
earnest man so assalled the parliament
Of Great Britain with complaints
against the merciless men who were
sending out old hulks to sea, and pro-
duced such an array Of figures to show
how terrible the losses from this cause
we're, that a code to govern the ques-
zion was passed, and such inspection
vas secured that for years it was i'm
possible for an ~unseaworthy ship to
leave a British port.
The laws of the United States relat-
ling to the subject are all well enough,
but the inspectors are human, and some
OF them are not incapable of being in
nuenced. Then ships are not inspected
{ on every voyage. Again, a certificate
might be right for a craft doing a coast
ing trade that would not be proper for
. chip that was to cross a 5,0O8-mile
stretch of open sea without a port on

THE SECRET OF THE STRAIT.

Another expedition is going in quest
of "the secret of the strait" For 4OC
years the secret has remained unsolved
Nowadays, biologists and g~eographers
do not think water connections exist
between the Atlantic and Pacific. That
the time vas when the two continents
were apart, these scientific people be-
lieve. There are people who find the
secret Of health as hard to find. Three
words tell why-a healthy stomach.
The secret is Hostetter's Stomach Bit

WIDOW prPER's NEiGHBoRs.

hi they Did for Her In Her Hour of
Need.
The sad news went out over the
Kansas prairie neighborhood one day
in early May, Farmer Piper is dead"
says the Youths Companion. He had
come to the community several years
before, but had not made a success OF
his little claim. The wife and three
small children were in sore straits
when the father and provider was
called away, and the first thought OF
the neighbors when they heard OF
Farmer Piper:s death was: What
| will become of the family?" The wild
ow herself could not answer the query.
She could hold her claim IL there was
a crop in the waiting fields. but they
lay unplowed. with sturdy weeds
springing up through the old corn
stalks of last year. She had no rela-
tives to whom she could appeal, n
there was nothing after the doctors
bill was paid that could be used to
hire help. What was her surprise one
morning. three weeks after her hus'
band passed away, IN looking out OF
her window, to see the vicinity OF the
house alive with teams and men. There
were men with plows, men with har-
rows, men with listers and men with
aorn-plantef{. Work began without
asking leave While one team drew
the stalk-cutting machine, Others fol-
lowed with plows. Then came the
harrows and the planters. while the
listers rapidly planted the corn on the
fields that did not need so much care.
Men were busy selecting and Smelling
the seed corn, and when the late spring
evening came there were seyenty-hYe
acres planted and as pretty as any in
the neighborhood. In the company
were thirty-nine teams and twice as
many men INT boys. all Of whom did
their part in making the day a good
one for the widow and her family. To
ward night the visitors filed out o.
the yard with wagons rafting, pillow
shares jingling and men and boys
cheering and waving good-by. The
widow and her children stood in the
door of the little prairie cabin. Tears
did not allow them to recognize every
one, but in their hearts was a thank
fulness not to be put into words.
