Genera, sheridan and HI. Son.

Two grave, quiet-looking men stood
on the steps OF big house in Wash
ington some years ago. They were
watching four bright children get into
a cart and drive down the street.
throwing back kisses and "goodby'' to
papa and papa's friend. the general.
The younger man. the father. was
Gen. Phil Sheridan-"Fighting Phil.
as he was called in those days. The
general, the old friend, said:
Phil, how do you manage your little
army Of four.''
Don't manage: they are mischiev-
GUS soldiers. but what good comrades!
All the good there is in me they bring
out. Their little mother Is wonder
full woman and worth a regiment of
ofncers. John / often think what pit
falls are in waiting for my small. brave
soldiers all through life. wish l

Phil. II you could choose for your
little son from all the temptations
which will beset him. the one most to
be feared, what would 1t be?"
General Sheridan leaned his head
against the doorway and said soberly:
1T would be the curse OF strong
drink. Boys are not saints. We are all
self-willed, strong-willed. maybe full
Of courage and thrift and push and
Kindness and charity. but woe be to the
man or boy who becomes slave to
liquor! Oh. l had rather see my little
son die today than to see him carried
in to his mother drunk! One OF my
brave soldier boys on the field said to
me Just before battle. when he gave
me his message to his mother II he
should be killed: Tell her / have
kept my promise to her. Not one drink

killed. / carried the message with my
own lips to the mother. She said:

THEORIES ABOUT THE "MAlNe.'
Captain sigsbee's Talk with the sPanish
AdniraI After the Expiostos.

Nothing could be written In better
taste and temper than Captain S!ss-
bees Personal Narrative OF the
Maine" the third installment Of which
appears in the January Century. THE
Wrecking and the Inquiry" are the
special subjects of this concluding
paper. The captains personal reia-
tions with General Bianco and Admiral
Manterola were. he says. undistu0Ded
by the explosion. They remained cor
dial to the last" Soon after the catas-
trophe the admiral called upon Cap
tain Sigsbee and conversation oc-
CURED which is tersely summarized in
these words:
THE admiral assumed from the first
that the explosion was from the 1in-
terror OF the vessel He asked II the
dynamo boilers had not exploded.
told him we had no dynamo boilers.
He said that the plans of the vessel.
as published showed that the gun
cotton store-room, or magazine, was
forward near the zone of the explosion.
He was Informed that these plans had
been changed. and that the guncotton
was slowed aft. under the captain 5
cabin, where the vessel was VIRTUALLY
intact. He pointed out that modern
gunpowders were sometimes very un-
stable. This was met by the remark
that our powder was of the old and
stable brown prisnatic kind, and that
We had no fancy powder. He referred
to the probable presence of boilers.

which Were adjacent to the magazines.
This again was met with the remark
that for three months no boiler in the
forward boiler compartment had been
lighted; that while in port the two
aftermost boilers in the ship had been
doing service"

you are all familiar. / will tell you
something Of the "Madarsi." The
schoolroom was on the nat roof OF the
house. The whole house. - well as the
roof. was made Of mud. but It was
hard and smooth and neatly white
washed. The pupils were all seated
directly on the roof, as the natives OF
India scarcely ever use chairs. Their
states were made OF wood, painted
black; their pencils were also OF wood.
These they dipped in a preparation OF

better II was to love and reverence the
one true God than to worship idols.

DON'T DEFAcE LETTER BOXES.
II Iou Do You Are Liable to . d 900
Fine.

Among the United States statutes
relative to the postofiice department is
one which provides a penalty of 81 900
fine or two years Imprisonment for
any DETACHMENT OF letter boxes. says
the New York Mail and Express. The
law rested in a state of innocuous des-
uetude for years until it was brought
to the attention of Postmaster Hicks
OF Philadelphia recently, and he has
been laying plans to enforce it. In a
recent trip through the city he discov
cred that the mail receptacles every
where were In shabby condition, din
gy with dirt and marred with match
scratches innumerable. On his return
to the postoffice he wrote to the post
master-general at Washington asking
that he be allowed to make a contract
for repainting the receptacles. Word
came from Washington to go ahead
with the work, and the contract has
already been let and the work COM
menced. 1t will take about forty days
to give the $3.50 letter boxes and 800
package receptacles their new coats,
but as the work progresses special Of
ficers in citizens clothes are stationed
along the route to watch for people
who dare to disfgure the new paint
coats. and placard has been hung on
each of the posts quoting the statute
in question and calling the attention of
the public to 1t. The principal oifen-
ders against the statute are smokers.

match scratchers. The paint used is
silvery gray and has been specially
prepared. 1t contains phosphorus in
large quantities. which 1t is hoped will
make the boxes SO conspicuous at night
that people will have no dimculty IN
finding them. Should the paint prove
a shining light 1t will very likely be
adopted all over the country.

A Un,ou. African Town.

Beira is town in Africa which Is
little known. but 1t holds unique po-
sition In the world. An astounding
sight meets the gaze of the traveller
who happens to light on the town, for
he will behold city built entirely of
zinc.
The governors residence, the public
buildings. the barracks, the arsenal,
the shops. the hotels. the houses, and
their outbuildings are all made of zinc.
The unpleasant effect produced by this
prevalence of zinc Is difficult to de-
scribe; and the knowledge that human
burning a climate intensifies the pain
full impression.
Millions of tons OF galvanized iron
have been sent out from Great Britain,
France and America, and this quantity
has been used to build up the town-a
feat accomplished in six months. Ow-
ing to the fever of speculation, and the
demand for cheap and hastily-found
lodgings being SO imperative. the city
has been constructed of this material.
That nothing may be wanting to the
run = EahWdys Win wagons
and trucks composed Of zinc. traverses
the city from end to end. Indeed, 1t IL
SO all-pervading that not only is 1t
used to cover roofs and build up walls,
but even stretchers are composed Of it.
Should an inhabitant fall i'll or meet
with an accident. he is carried away to
the hospital on . sheet Of zinc torn
from one of the fences or buildings
nearest to the scene Of the catastrophe.
Should he die, he Is carried to the
grave in a zinc comm.
Owing to the scarcity Of natural pro-
ductions the food OF the entire popu-
lation consists Of timed meats. for NO
other food can be procured at any
price. It is altogether a most curious
place. for, in addition to the houses Of
zinc the streets are Uttered everywhere
with empty meat tins Of all shapes and
sizes.
The dreary monotony Of everlasting
zinc Is only relieved by two stone
houses which have recently been built.

CHAPTER Y

The night was dark. and the low We

within shining upon his features as he
sat silently In his saddle.
Presently Sullivan came out, follow
steady in his gait, and had evidently
been drinking
Are you from Redmount citation ?"
asked the newcomer huskily.
Yes" replied Baynes, looking down.
and trying to get a glimpse OF the
mans features. But he did not succeed
in doing SO. FOR the stranger stood In
the doorway with his back to the light.
DO you know a chap by the name
OF Robert Luke"
"Luke?" echoed Baynes and Sullivan
in one breath.
Yes, Luke-Robert Luke. Why. you
both seem quite astonished ! am his
brother, william Luke"
Sullivan was the first TO speak.

don't appear to have heard"
Bad news, What is it?'
He disappeared from Redmoun, sta

But he must be somewhere in the
neighborhood. | tell you, 1 have a

it he says. II he is not at Redmount

When did he write?" asked Sulli-
van.
Let me see." replied William Luke,
pulling some papers out OF his breast
pocket-"it is dated May 25th."
May 25th?" cried Sullivan. why,
that, the very day on which he disap-
peared,"
Good heavens. and | have come all
tell that man to stop! have message
for Mr.. Hall"
But, while they were examining the
letter near the lamp over the bar
Baynes had started of into the dark
ness: and the sound OF his horses feet
was now scarcely to be heard as he
galloped along the track leading to the
station.

him right too. I've never seen a shil-
ling Of his money. and don't suppose
ever shall. Drat such mean beggars,
I say!" growled Sullivan. as he stood
at the door looking in the direction
Baynes had taken.
Mr. Raii was patiently waiting for
the mail when Baynes raped at the
door.
why. Baynes. how quick you have
been." he said. taking the bags from
him. Il shall have to make you post

so great an attraction for the men that
they never come back with letters till

Yes. SIR" replied Baynes: "and I

Indeed! That's unfortunate. But you

How ChAndAr became n Member
In far-or India lived a man and
woman who had two children, a boy
and girl. The parents were proud
OF their son, but did not appear to be
very fond Of their daughter. simply be-
cause she was girl They thought
the gods must have been angry with
them TO have given them a girl instead
OF another boy. and when strangers
would ask their father how many chill
dren he had. he would reply: II have
one child, darling boy" not thinking
the girl worth mentioning.
One day the missionary came to
their homo and requested that little
Chandar and his sister be permitted to
attend school in the neighborhood.
After much persuasion the father gave
permission for Chandar to go. but said.
in regard to Maharani. "She cannot
learn. she's only n girl. Besides, II Is
not according to our customs here in
India for boys and girls to attend the
same school"
Then spoke the Memsahib, "If we
start a girls school may she attend
that"
Yes, replied he. reluctantly.
Accordingly, the next Monday the
children started to their respective
"Madarses." Ere long 1t was discov-
cred that the sister. though the young
er, was really learning the more rap
| idly; in fact II greatly surprised her
father. because she was only girl.
She had beautiful voice. and sang the
Christian hymns, much to the gratifi-
cation OF the mother, II not the father

1T is one that does not allow us to

harani. sweetly.
STUFF and nonsense. what harm can
tobacco do.' exclaimed he. You
| know well enough that everybody in
India smokes Girls as well as boys
use the hooka from the time they are
two years old. You need not think you
can Join any society where you have to
promise not to use 1t, either. OF
course / believe It is all right not to
drink. but there is no harm In smok-
| ing"
The little girl said no more. but
| Chandar came close to his father, and
sitting on the ground by his side. said:
| Won't you come to the school tomor-
row and hear what the Memsahib says
about IT."
Yes, I will go II you wish 1t, pride
of my heart" was the reply.
He was much interested in every
thing he saw and heard. especially the
reading of the Bible. Toward the close
of the session Mrs. Parker spoke again
Of the Loyal Temperance Legion. and
read to them the pledge:
God helping me
1 promise not to buy. drink, sell, or
give
Alcoholic liquors while live.
From all tobacco I'll abstain,
And never take Gods name In vain. -
Then turning to Chandar's father
she said. How do you like It. siry''
II like 1t all but the fourth line, I
do not drink nor believe that others
should; neither do swear. We Hin
docs worship many gods. yet would
never dare to take the name Of one of
them IN vain. But I cannot, for the
life Of me, see how you can object to
tobacco II you will show me wherein
its use is harmful will give 1t up. and
