the action, and they came together and
exchanged few words

He had scarce spoken when Houth-
wick left Mr.. lynn and stepped briskly
to the head of the poop ladder.
Master Sellinger, set the mainsail

The mate was off his perch to the
deck in an instant, and at his word the
men flew to their stations. The wind
had less weight now than formerly and
| blew steadier, but for all that appre-
hended that we were taking consider
able hazard to thus swell our canvas.
Yet very quickly the thing was done,
and under the added pressure the ship

the foot of the main shrouds, and in

though he might be our shadow. But
change was at hand. All in a mo-
ment. as it seemed, his long bulk be-
gan to narrow, the small slant of his
sails that we could see expanded, and
at once his pot-round bows rode, leap
ing and sinking, into view. He had
changed his plan, and would fly
straight at us.
In an instant the trumpet of Capt.
Honthwick began to below:

with his guns. To prevent this we must
turn tail and make a straight-away
run of it. The question then to be set

for the time on the quarterback, COW

things were attended to the mate dis
patched us again forward, and for a
little we gave our sole attention to the
handling and better speeding of the
ship. The Dutchman's crippled fore
mast continued to fret him, but he
would not give over, and so for long
time we both kept ourcourse, though the
Industry all the while made small but
steady gain. It must have been half
an hour after this that Master SelliDger
called me, and upon my responding said
that he must now retire to the cabin
for a little, the further disposition of
the voyage standing to be settled, and
that meanwhile I was to command he
ship. With that, and upon my ascend
ing to the quarterback, he made
sign to Mr.. lynn and they both went
below.
After little Mr.. lynn and the mate
returned to the deck, their counte-

thought. as it might be they had set

the drawing of the sail, found that
the Dutchman was fair astern of us,
only the slant of his sails catching the
light, and the rest of him standing
up round and black. I think some
thing like two hours now passed, only
one thing, but that an important one,
| happening, which was that the Dutch
man slowly gained upon US. At last
Houthwick said something to which
the others appeared to assent, and the
mate hurried off the poop. He espied
me, as 1 stood by the main shrouds,
and beckoned me to him. When came
up he said low and in a strained, quick
| tone:
THE captain thinks we had best try
gun. 1 must serve it. Do you stand
ready to help work the ship. Call the
carpenter, and put him in charge of
| the magazine. The main hatch will
| have to be opened till they can get up

which batten it down again. The rest
can come up the companion. Tell Spy

The cabin boy can assist him. That
will do for now, and look alive"

hearty voice Though, to own the
truth, my heart was beginning to beat

and hurried away. In few minutes
all the orders were carried out, and the
mate was free to try his experiment.
When l returned to the deck the
gangport had been unlocked, and the
guns canvas jacket taken off. AS I
turned to see whether the mate was
ready mean ready to have the ship
luffed. so that he could secure his aim
I heard low, dull boom, and, as
whirled again, ball of smoke blew out
from the bows of our pursuer and
wreathed off to leeward
Hes firing at the MOON" said the
mate contemptuously, and now 1 saw
that the excitement had struck the
color from the mans cheeks, save for
little patch of red which showed
under the sea-burn, and that his
nerves were strung high and firm.
"At the gun!" called the captain
from the poop. "Are you ready, Mas
ter Sellinger?"
"All ready, sir!''
''Then to the braces, meni Luff!"
he roared back to the two fellows at
the helm.
The ship came handsomely into the
wind, and as she dipped to the bottom
of hollow the mate gave a swift
glance along his gun and applied the
linstock.
He had loaded while I was below,
and I knew not what the charge was,
but it must have contained a scat
ter-load, for I saw a tremendous dim
pie all over the water, just outside of
the Dutchman's forefoot.
"a good beginning!" shouted the
captain. "Have at him again.
We got upon our course once more,
and meantime The gun was reloaded.
'Ha. he's showing his teeth at last!"

soAP-MAKING IN JAPAN.
Domestic Industry That Is Incre9ss
Ing Rapidly i'm That
Country.

The demand for soap increases pro-
portionately with the development of
society. The aggregate value of soap
consumed at present in this country is
estimated at about !, 00O, 600 yen, accord
mig to the original cost fixed by the
manufacturer. In early times the peo-
pie depended on foreign supplies, and
though the article was duly manufac.
tured here, still fictitious label in
| imitation of foreign soap had to be
| affixed to it ere it could find sale in
Japan. Since then, however, great i'm
| provements have been effected, and the
value of the manufacture has consider
ably increased. AT present japanese
soap rivals the imported article, both
IN quantity consumed and in quality,
There are some 60 or 20 soap manufac-
tories in Toxic, which supply the home
demand, whose output aggregates in
value to some 100000 yen annually.
Other manufactures in Osaka and Kobe
not only supply the demand for soap
at home, but also export it to Corea and
China.
But while, as is evident, we need not
any longer depend for the supply from
i abroad, in reality soap is still imported
into this country, though not in large
quantities. 1t is because the ingre-
dents of soap being always the same,
its manufacturing cost cannot exceed
four or five sen apiece.
This soap is sold in the markets at
prices varying from seven sen to one
yen or more apiece. But these prices
have also to cover the expenditure on
wrappers and fancy boxes. Perhaps
there is nothing that so eXemplifieS the
truth of the well-known adage: En-
belllsh your wares for sale" as soap.
Customers do not merely buy for the
sake of its quality; but they desire it
on account of the beautiful designs
printed on the wrapping papers or
boxes. Though such designs may be
prepared in our country to some ex-
tent, yet those that cost so sen to one
yen apiece cannot be made here. This
is not, however, fault on the part of
our manufacturers, because their in
ability to make such designs is entire
ly owing to the imperfect state of de-
signing and printing industries in our
country, and it would therefore not paw
our soap manufacturers to prepare
these embellishments for soap under
the existing circumstances.
lfhis is the reason why we are still
Obliged to depend on the supply of
soap from abroad, in spite of the pros
perity of our soap manufacturing
trade There is another question that
may be raised in connection with it.
1t is. why do we still depend on the
foreign supply of common soap, its
manufacture being SO very easy? Be
cause in foreign countries it can be
manufactured at lower cost than
here, where we must depend on the
supply of original material from

VICTORIA'S ANCESTORS.
Their Bones, Which HIVE Been
knocking About for Three Gem
turtles, Collected by the Queen

Queen Victoria has just had the bones
of some of her Scottish ancestors, which
! have been knocking about loose for
about 300 years, collected and deposited
| i'll tomb. 1t seems almost incredible
that since 1858 the bones of the MEM
bers of the royal family of Scotland
have been lying exposed to the elements,
all uncoffined and neglected. The tomb
in which the queen has now had placed
the bones of her ancestors is the old
royal vault in the corner of the ruined
chapel of Holyrood house, Edinburgh.
The remains were all originally in
this tomb, except those of Mary of
Gueldres, queen of James III. of Scot
land, which have been added to the col
lection.
The royal remains first left their
place in the royal vault in the troublous
times of 1858, when the revolutionary
mob wrenched open the leaden collins
and scattered the bones of James V.
and Magdalen of France, with those of
other royal personages, over the paved
aisles of the Abbey church. For a CEN
fury or so the remains were exposed in
the open to the elements and to the pub
lie gaze. Shame at length compelled
the authorities to collect the remains
and place them in the vault of stone
shelves laid in the wall of the old Nor
man doorway. There they lay bleached
white till few months ago, when, by
her majesty's command, they were
carefully collected and reinstated in
the restored tomb. The only coffin in
the collection is that which is supposed
to contain the remains of Mary of
Gueldres, which was unearthed in 1s4s.
in the removal of the Trinity College
church, to make way for the North
British railway.
Upon the entrance to the vault, which
had hitherto been quite open to the air
and protected only by wide iron graf
ing, door of light oak has been placed.

that their resting place was desecrated

VIII Found In a Fish Net.

While fishing off Carlingford Tough,
on the Irish coast, recently, the trawler
Bournemouth, of Milford Haven.
dredged up in net bundle of papers
sealed and tied with red tape, and per-
fectly intact. The skipper brought
them to port, and handed them to a
man, who found that they purported
to be will in favor of Miss Mary
Macdonald, and had reference to es-
tates in Ireland. About ten years ago
claim was made to the estates in
question, which are said to be worth
6 1900. The claim failed because the
necessary documents were missing.
1t is believed that the papers fished
up from the Tough are the ones want
ed, and Investigations are being made
with view to handing them over to
the proper uthorities.-London Mail.
