An Eton Boy.
Rx JAMES GRANT.

Thin hanked, active and strong, they
began to grunt and gambol, and to
splash up the glittering water, till
suddenly they caught sight of us, and
all fled, save one, a fierce old boar,
which, after tearing up the grass with
his hind feet, came resolutely forward,
showing pair of tusks that made me
tremble for the calves of my legs IL
l ventured to run off, and still more
for those Of poor Hislop, who was
alike unable to escape or confront him.
Fortunately 1 had my teakwood
spear.
While keeping a tree between me
and the boar, he prepared for the Of
fensive by whetting his terrible tusks
against stone and grunting hoarsely.
Excited and bewildered, as he came
on at a quick run, charged my weap-
on full at him, and by the mercy Of
Providence, the point entered one of
his fierce, glittering eyes. which made
him rear up and recoil, while in his
rage and pain the br1stfes on his ridgy
back rose up like little blades Of steel.
Into his throat with your spear"
cried Hislop; but 1 anticipated the sug-
gestion, for ere the words had left his
fps 1 had bufied-thrusting deep with
all the force that excitement and ter
ror gave me-the pointed teakwood
shaft down his red and gaping throat
Choking in blood, in foam and fury,
the great boar writhed upon his back,
and in doing so twitched from my
hands the weapon, which still remained
wedged In his throat and tongue, and
rendered him almost powerless.
knew not what to do now. for II he
snapped it through, and thus released
himself, we, or at least l, would be
lost.
But as he lay there on his back and
sides alternately, snorting, roaring and
covering the grass with bloody froth,
and tearing it by his bristles, Hislop
sprang forward and though weak with
many half-healed wounds, drove a
clasp-knife repeatedly into the throat
and stomach of the monster, which
soon lay still enough.
When it was quite dead 1 drew out
my teakwood spear, and found the
point almost uninjured, for had hard
ened 1t in fire.
We thrust two crooked branches
through the tendons of the boar's hind
legs, and by these drew it to our hut.
which was about half mile distant;
there our prize caused great congratu-
lation among our crew, and l obtained
no little praise for performing so hardy
feat.
Our return diverted for time some
excitement and surprise which had
been caused by the return of Tom
Lambourne, Probart and Carlton from
the mountain top, with tidings that
the studding sail boom had vanished,
and that not trace OF it was to be
found anywhere!

CHAPTER XXX.
A New Perplexlty.


The disappearance of the boom and
waved from 1t like banner. excited
considerable speculation and some-
thing of alarm.
II simply overturned by the wind. 1t
Dsust have lain where it fell: at all
events. it could not have rolled far
from the cairn. or pile of stones, in
the center of which we had wedged
1t. BY what agency had this disap-
pearance come to pass?
That 1t was the work of wild ami
mails could not for moment be con-
ceived; SO the event filled us with
vague, but very alarming conjecture.
With his hatchet, Probart the car
penter cut down and prepared a LONG
and slender tree to replace the lost
boom on the top of the Devils noun
tain, as we now termed it; and while
one portion of us assisted him in this,
the other set about the capture of
some of the wild goats with which the
woods abounded. as we were anxious
to procure the milk of the females. and
the flesh Of their kids.
This was a most arduous task. as
they were SO fleet Of foot; and when
pursued, or when in search of those
bitter and astringent plants OF which
they are SO fond. they could gain the
most dangerous pinnacles and lodges
OF rock that overhung the sea. In such
places there grew kind of wild labur-
mum, and Hislop did not fail to re-
mind me that Theocritus described 1t
as the favorite food of the goat.
We otter saw these agile quadru-
peds spring, without pause, fear or
hesitation, from pinnacle to pinnacle.
or from ledge to ledge of rock, where,
had they missed footing, they must
have fallen thousand feet or more,
either into the ocean on one side, or
some ravine on the other, and there,
perched far aloft. they would remain,
looking at us quietly, and reminding
me OF the couplet:
High hung in air the hoary goat re-
clined,
His streaming beard the sport of every
- wind"
BY great industry, and the exertiou
OF incredible labor and activity, VIC
succeeded in capturing five, by isolat-
Ing them from their fiocks, and chas-
ing them into chasms and corners
from which they had no means OF es-
cape, and then we secured them by
the running rigging Of the long boat.
Some OF the females afforded milk, a
rarity and nourlshmont to us who had
been SO lonG at sea. The flesh OF n kid
we thought delicious and lest we

HOUSEKEEPING ON STEAMSHIP
Amount Of Food Eaten by Passengers

Amount of Food Eaten by Passengers
ON an Ocean Liner.
Ene tidy little refrigerator about six
feet wide and twice that depth ia the
butterman's stall in this market under
the sea-" writes Helen c. Candee, in on
exchange. Little tubs Of butter are
arranged on shelves to the amount of
1000 pounds, and in company with
these are 10000 eggs. Twenty-Five hun
dred quarts of milk and cream are
stored in separate room. all having,
Deen sterilized. This market has a
room especially for salt meats, and
mere are hams, bacon and tongues to
the amount of 1000 pounds. There are
some articles Of food without which
the epicure would be unhappy, and
which must be alive when cooked.
Chief among these are oysters, of which
10000 are carried to meet the wants of
the passengers. CLAIMS are only pro-
vided to the number of 1,50O. Lobsters
are not abundantly supplied; TOO
pounds is all the storeroom shelters.
Thls market in the bottom of the ship
contains, besides the things mentioned,
fruits, green vegetables and an en-
ormous stock of groceries. The latter
is only limited by space, for groceries
are not perishable goods and will keep
from one voyage until another until
used. Tea and coffee are used in large
amounts-about thirty-three pounds a
day OF tea and fifty pounds of coffee.
Perfshable supplies are taken on board
in proportion to the number Of passen-
gers booked, and anything of this kind
which is left over when the ship
reaches port Is eaten by the crew.
Away down in the bottom of the ship
the chief steward has a market of his
own. one which he has stocked and
from which he draws, thus serving in
the double capacity of merchant and
customer. Here is an enormous re-
frigerator, and is presided over by
steward who is responsible for every
pound Of meat within it. Before the
ship slips from the dock this room is
stocked, for full ship, with 10000
pounds of beef, 1000 pounds OF veal
and 5000 pounds of mutton. From
hooks along the walls and ceiling of
another refrigerator hang punches of
birds. very much as dried corn and
peppers hang from the rafters of old
fsrmhouses AS many chickens as can
be tied together are hung until 1000
pounds are slowed away. Ducks are
not as popular as chickens, therefore
700 pounds only are provided-about
100 pounds allowance for each day.
Turkeys are liked. and 1000 pounds
must be provided for the demands of
the cook. Pigeons, squads and other
small birds, these are reckoned in
pieces, and it is calculated that the
family which floats across the ocean
will devour 1.600 Birds"

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
Is the one perfect Strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing fgs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from scnna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
