Whats all this hurry about, Mr.
Tudor? Put your watch in your peck

face he saw something sweeter than
the silver moonlight which revealed it.
-Four minutes and half!
With bound he was in the passage
again, slipped noiselessly past the
chief, who did not see him, his back
being turned, caught up the accursed
thing under his jacket and like a fash
tore up the deck again
With all his strength he threw the
Lump of Coal far into the dimpling
sea and sank on the deck, the perspira-
ton running from every pore.
Then, with terrific rafting thun-
der, an immense flower of fire arose
out of the deep, a great, sudden billow
snatched at the ship, heaved her aloft
like a cork and raced whitley away
into the moonlit distances. Then all
was still save for the fretting and fun
ing Of the sea as it slowly settled

The whole ships company came peer
ing on deck in dazed state of alarm.
The captain sprang on the bridge be-
side the mate and shouted some orders
unheeded.
| But nobody except the girl in white
noticed the broken man lying prone in
| the shadow of the deckhouse.
! Like a sudden hideous revelation the
explanation came to her. His wild
eyes, his sudden question. the watch
in his hand, his mad, headlong race
below-all was clear now.
| Unnoticed in the general panic, she
crossed the deck to him. He was lying
| face down on the cold iron plates of
the deck. She touched him on the
shoulder, and he looked up with a
white face.

A FAMOUS PLATE.
The First Engraving Was Printed
ON u Laundress' Bundle

The First Engraving Was Printed
ON u Laundress' Bundle.
Two groups of tourists were standing
in the Pitt palace before the large plate
Of pure silver upon which Finiguerra,
the great master of early engraving,
had depicted his lovely madonna and
Child in trellised arbor covered with
roses An Italian lady was telling her
friends In an undertone the charming
anecdote of Finiguerra and the laun-
dress.
The artist, it seems in mastering the
new and difficult art of engraving upon
metal. had acquired singularly keen
eye and delicate touch, and he also pos
sessed number of very fine and sharp
instruments. which he used in his
work.
Being kindly man he sometimes
placed both his sure hand and his fine
tools at the service of his friends and
neighbors in performing for them some
of the simpler operations of surgery,
until he acquired quite a reputation for
his skill in doctoring their hurts.
One day poor laundress who had
been washing clothes, in wringing out
a garment in which needle had been
carelessly left, ran it deeply into her
hand. Worse yet. it broke off in the
wound and part remained imbedded
in the flesh. She was in much pain,
and on her way back from the stream
where she had been washing she stop
ped at the house Of the artist and was
admitted.
Entering his studio she hastily set
down her wet and heavy bundle and
held out the injured hand, begging his
assistance. Finiguerra left his work to
help her, and after long and delicate
manipulation extracted the broken nee
die. The woman thanked him and
turned to go, lifting her bundle from
its resting place.
| Then he saw that she had set it upon
one of his engravings. Like all others
at that time. it was plate of engraved
metal, complete in itself, and regarded
as single and sufficient picture. exact
ly as if it had been a painting.
Oub as Lno uainp Uunule WAS IaA5eu
the quick eye Of Finiguerra saw that it
had received an impression from the
engraved picture beneath, and his quick
mind seized at once the suggestion of
the possibility of indefinite reproduc
ton from single original So that
from the kindness of great artist to
poor washerwoman sprang the discov-
cry which has placed the beautiful
products of the engraver's art within
the reach of all of us today i-Y Youths

We know of no city in all this land,
not excepting Hoboken or Jersey City,
which is less national in its feelings,
its ideas and its aspirations than New
York 1t has never yet done anything
really national. There was not public
spirit enough in the well to do classes
of the town to even build the pedestal
of the Liberty statue The same classes
waited years and went begging all over
the country to raise fund for the
Grant monumental duty which. in
1885, they claimed as their peculiar
privilege. But New York is New York.

PERIL MADE THEM FRIENDS.
The wild Beasts Herded Together to
Escape Forest Fire.

The wild Beasts Herded Together to
Escape Forest Fire.
An incident of forest fires in the hills
of the Descanso neighborhood, in south
ern California, illustrates the comrade-
ship that common peril brings about
among beasts as well as among men.
After the flames had completed their
worktof destruction and spread pail
over the hills a rancher went forth
among the charred stumps and smoking
Brushheaps to look for a number of cat
tie and colts which he feared had been
hemmed in by the fire. He went across
gully and ridge in his search, until at
last he saw his stock some little dis
tance ahead.
He was more than astonished upon
coming up to the group to find not only
bis cattle and colts, but a deer, three
wildcats, coyote and several rabbits,
all alive and apparently in no fear of
him. They watched his approach with
Indifference, the timidity gone from the
big eyed deer, no venom in the wild
cats purr and honesty shining in the
gray coyotes face. The rabbits sat on
their launches as meek as the pets Of
children. But the poor coyote was in
pain, and as the farmer came close the
erstwhile robber of the roost dragged
his helpless headquarters toward the
man in mute supplication. The legs of
the animal had been frightfully burned
The rancher was in no mood to make
friends Of such strange creatures, and
at once drove his stock through the
smoldering brush, the deer going
along with the cattle, the rabbits hop
ping along at the rancher's heels, the
wildcats slouching along behind, and
the coyote. unable to follow, whining a
pathetic appeal for succor. When the
burning field was passed, the deer broke
into run for the distant hills, the rab-
bits were away like fash, and the old
defiance and snarling leer came back
to the wildcats, who scorned to make a
show of haste. They walked slowly out
of sight. San Diego Union.

The people of Gangutia. in Bengal,
have barbarous practice called hook
swinging. They deck themselves out
with garlands, and then assemble to-
gcther to undergo the most horrible tor
ture. A wire about quarter of an inch
in diameter and seven feet long is
pierced through the tongue. and then
the wretched being will dance for over
half an hour with the wire still hang
ing through the tongue.
Some of them form themselves into a
row and are then sewed together by a
wire needle threaded with cord They
are sewed by the arms and look like
behring's on wire when ready for the
hook
1t is thought that the victims are
drugged considerably beforehand, owing
to the sullen, dazed expression they
wear throughout, but sometimes one or
two faint and are with great difficulty
brought round again.

Thomas Murray, the noted chef, says
many cooks do not know how to do so
simple thing as to boil rice properly.
Each grain of rice, he says should be
distinct, whole. but at the same time
tender. To accomplish this, a small
quantity of rice should be boiled in a
large pot nearly filed with water. Put
it into cold water and little salt and
boil rapidly for 30 or 80 minutes Test
the grains occasionally, and when a
slight pressure between the thumb and
furefnger will crush them they are
done If allowed to boil till the grains
burst or boiled in small quantity of
water. the grains will stick together.
When done. drain off the water and set
the rice on the range. where it will
keep warm.

When Home Is Sweet,

Fewer wives would sit lonesomely at
home while their husbands roam else
where in search of entertainment IL
more wives realized that home should
be something besides clean place to
eat and sleep in. Men hate" wom-
ems tea parties and large show func-
tons, but they like dinner and supper
parties. Many families refrain from
entertaining because they cannot do
so on an expensive scale. 1t is, how
ever, possible to give small dinners and
suppers that are both enjoyable and
inexpensive. Ask people who either
do or will like each other, and If you
wish the women to have II good time

Perhaps as costly a commodity as
any that is carried In considerable
quantities in truckloads is Sumatra to-

pers. Sumatra wrappers cost from
81 to 81 pound, and the import duty
on them is $1.S5 pound. This tobacco
is imported in small, compact bales
weighing ITO or $50 pounds each. Duty
paid Sumatra would be worth about
5000 a bale, and there can be carried on

HOVE Sen LION. CaDture c,u,

In capturing gulls the sea lion dis
plays no little skill and cunning. When
in pursuit of a gull, it dives deeply I'M
der water and swims some distance
from where it disappeared; then. rising
cautiously. it exposes the tip of its nose
along the surface, at the same time
giving it rotary motion. The unwary
bird on the wing, seeing the object
near by, alights to catch it. while the
sea lion at the same moment settles be-
meath the waves, and at one bound
with extended jaws seizes its screaming
prey and instantly devours it.-Scien-
