THE PORT OF BOTTLES.
A Spot From Which No Floating
Flask Can Get Away.

Spot From Which No Floating
Flask Can Get Away.
There is dead spot in the Carib
bean sea- said the first officer of a
Brazilian ship. chatting at the custom
house the other day. that ought to
be called the port of bottles. 1t lies
very nearly midway between Carta
gena, in Colombia. and Kingston.
Jamaica, and at guess l should say
1T was due east to Cape Gracias a
Dios. 1t is out of the steamer tracks,
and the action of the great currents
going one way and another has left a
space of stagnant water without any
real movement at all. Anything that
gets into the dead spot is apt to stay
there unless driven out by some big
storm and will simply drift round and
round, gathering sea grass and barna-
cleS.
1.-The last time l saw the place was
in 1895, when l was on board a tramp
from Rio that had changed its course
a little to take up some rubber at a
Central American port. While we We're
passing through we noticed a spar, and
among a lot of rubbish attached to it
was a peculiar looking round object.
Teu III COiOT we put Oh q DOdt
to investigate, and it proved to be a
patent buoy. which had been set adrift
from a Florida lighthouse station in
1893, and was part of systematic at
tempt to ascertain the speed and di
rection of currents. Inside was an Off
cialmemorandum, which wasafterward
returned to the navy department with
data of when and where found. But
what is a good deal more interesting
Is the fact that while we were securing
the buoy we discovered three bottles
sticking in the drift, all covered with
weeds and slime. One was empty, and
the other two had papers inside. The
first was a memorandum that the bot
tie had been dropped from a yacht off
the Grand Cayman in, l think, the
year 1892, and the other Enclosure
showed that it came from ship bound
for Montevideo, on what date l forget.
In each case it was evidently the within
of some idle passenger, but it was
little odd that we should find the whole
collection together.
81 noticed a lot of other driftwood in
the dead spot. and 1 am confident that
no end of bottles could be culled from
the place. Hundreds are dropped over
board every year, but very few escape
being knocked to pieces unless they
happen to find their way to some such
q still place as have described. New
Orleans Democrat.

That Is His Official Title, but They
Call Him "SnaE" For Short.
There is a stranger in Chicago whose
name is not down on any hotel regis
try, but who none the less is a person
of great Importance, at least in his
own land. Just at present he occupies
the front suit of the basement at
Vaughans seed store, 81 Randolph
street, and his mission in life lies in
making things as lively all around as
possible. He sits in state on a large
box, grunts at the people who stop on
the street above to take a look down
the shoot at his bearship and keeps
weather eye out for friendly donations
of candy and peanuts as cleverly as if
he were a Lincoln park bear born and
bred instead of being wild, rOlly poly
little cub from the great forests of
northern Wisconsin.
Officially his title is UrSus ameri-
canus, but the express messenger who
brought him down from the north
nicknamed him Snag. No one knows
exactly why. Perhaps he ran up against
one. But anyway Snag is as gentle
manly and handsome a young cub as
one would care to see. His fur is over
three inches long. heavy and brown as
a chocolate drop, and love pat from
his paw would likely knock daylight
into one Of the Art institute lions.
Mr.. Vaughan secured his new pet
while on his annual trip for evergreens
to the northern woods. The Menominee
Indians at Wabeno, a little village in
Forest county, had captured young
bruin, and he was a great favorite with
$hn frf1 ,n Sho ,fyrr 0f oh
winds and snowtime the fever came
upon him to hibernate, and there was a
large, deep hole promptly dug out I'M
der the log house of his owner, Run
ming Wolf. When Mr.. Vaughan discov
cred him. he was completely covered
with clay, and the very first taste of
civilization that he received was a good
warm bath, much to his disgust.
He has taken kindly to his new
home so far, but sometimes when the
perch ON the box becomes tireSome
he f1ops lazIly off and makes a land
survey the full length Of his chain.
Anything that gets within its radius
is lawful prey, and he has left his
trademark everywhere, chewing deli
cate slices out of the door and march
ing about with stick like a Filipino
volunteer. One day recently he sud-
denly came across a fresh lot Of ever
green's just arrived from his old home
and at once made a frantic grab for
them, as If he recognized old friends.
In half a minute it was hard telling
which was bear and which were ever
green's, but after he had given them
q good all around hug Snag emerged
from the debris and went over in his
corner to mediate on the futility of
earthly hopes, and especially on how
all the world conspired to make a
good, self respecting little bear per-
fectly miserable by raking up old
memories of home and mother. Alto
gether he is a very quaint, jolly sort of
a chap, and when he stands up on
his hind legs ready for a tussle he
looks as if he could "eat up" any foot
ball player.-Chicago Record.

Some years ago the attention of :
family in Ohio was called to a broOt'
of young chickens by cat that seem
ed to devote her time and attention tC
them They were regularly fed by t.,
mistress of the house. The cat FIRE
quently purred to them, and they cam
at her call and followed her as closel!
as chickens follow the mother hen
They lodged together in wood shed
adjacent to the house for about three
months. But in the early spring the
chickens. being well f1edged, abandon
ed their winter quarters and flew into
the higher branches of a fruit tree tc
roost. The cat purred and mewed and
seemed much Disguised at their
change Of lodgings, but soon accepted
the situation and climbed to the tree
top and roasted with the chickens

THE KING WHO
LOST HIS CROWN
BY Arthur j. Stringer.

! 1t was certainly the wonder of the
neighborhooG. Its first appearance had
been the one event of the year, and a
futter of excitement ran through the
street as it's glories were dilated on
from doorway to doorway down the
little colony. Never since the police
had raided Ching Lungs laundry had
such excitement been known.
1t was nothing but a shop sign made
up of white, or almost white, lettering
on a sky blue background and an
nounced in characters of fitting size
that Mrs. Doyle was dealer in can
dies, homemade taffies, confectionery,
tobacco, cigarettes and sundries. The
''sundries" was a mystery to most Of
the admirers of the sign, but they as
sumed it stood for something no less
delicious than caramels.
For months the dingy little shop had
stood empty. When Mrs. Doyle was
found mysteriously occupying it one
morning, it's doors and windows were
watched as only these things should
be watched at such a time. A person
can't be too careful about these new
corners.
: The watchers saw a transformation
take place. Boxes of highly colored
candies appeared in the show window,
together with bags of molasses pop
corn and square tins Of brown taffy

HE THRASHED THE PRINCE.

and Gained q Lifelong Friend.
The average boy thinks himself lucky
if he comes out victor in fight with
just any boy of about his own age and
size, says the Chicago Record. And it
is only once in awhile that a juvenile
| warrior really distinguishes himself as
James Miller of Oakland, Cal, did
when he thrashed the Prince of Wales.
AS Mr.. Miller tells the story, the young
prince was pretty generally battered
up and thoroughly clicked" This is
the story, as told by Mr.. Miller:
"At that time I was visiting my I'M
Gle, who lived in old Porto BolO, the
famous little Scottish pottery town on
the south coast, on the Firth of Forth.
One day 1 was riding out on donkey,
and the young prince was walking,
when we CHANGED to meet, and trouble
followed. The prince approached me
and, catching me by the leg, pulled me
from the saddle. In those days L was
q fighter, and before the youngster
knew Just what struck him I had land
ed some good left swings, and he was
all but out when his tutor, who ac-
companied him, came to his rescue. L
cannot deny that the prince got the
first fall when he pulled me from the
donkey, but all the rest of the honors
were easily mine. 1t is not of record
just what happened to me after it was
all over, but have just a hazy recol-
lection of a meeting with my aged IN
Gle that ended in disaster for me.
'"That fight made the Prince Of Wales
my friend for life. Long after that
meeting in boyhood he happened to
learn that 1 was in need Of financial
aid, and he lost no time in sending me
a check for a princely sum-"
Don't fight unless you have real
prince to battle with, and you will re-
lieve your mother from much anxiety
and save yourself some humiliating ex-
perienceS.

1t was a moonlight night, and the
water was so bright that great green
frog was using it for a looking glass.
He thought he was very line fellow.
"Ker- chug. Ker-chug" said he. "What
a nice big frog 1 am and not a bit like
that little bird that sits over there ON
the bush! l wouldn't be so small for
anything. Just hear what a weak lit
tie 'chirp' it has, while my voice is loud
enough to be heard away over at that
farmhouse! 1 think I will sing them q
song. Ker-chug! Ker-chug!'
The little bird, awakened by the
noise, hoped about on the branch and
began to sing.
"Why, he can sing, too!'' said the
frog. 81 am not sure but that he sings
a little better than do, but he's a poor
thing, afraid of the water. 1 believe l
will take a dive" He plunged into the
pond and came up again, but the
splashing he made so frightened the
bird that it flew away up into the sky.
The frog now looked after it in won
der.
81 can't do that" he said. 81 can go
into the water, but can't go into the
sky. After all, it isn't good to be proud
Of oneself, for some can do one thing
better and some another, and no one is
smart enough to do them all."-Chris

Sweet Voices.


There is no power of love so hard
to keep as a kind voice, but it is hard
to get it and keep it in the right tone.
One must start in youth and be on the
watch night and day, while at work
and while at play, to get and keep a
voice which shall speak at all times
the thought of a kind heart.
But this is the time when a sharp
voice is more apt to be acquired. You
often hear boys and girls say words
at play with a quick, sharp tone, al
most like the snap of whip. If any
of them get vexed, you hear a voice
which sounds as if 1t were made up of
a snarl, a whine and a bark.
Such a voice often speaks worse than
the heart feels. 1t shows more Ill will
in tone than in words. 1t is often in
mirth that one gets a voice or a tone
which is sharp and which sticks to
him through life and stirs up i'll will
and grief and falls like a drop Of gain
on the listener. Some people have a
sharp home voice for use and keep
their best voice for those they meet
elsewhere. We would say to all girls
home" Watch it by day a pearl of
great price, for it will be worth more
to you in the days to come than the
best pearl hid in the sea. A kind voice
is lark's song to the heart and home.
1t is to the heart what light is to the
eve
