Tommy Atkins Discipline.

Tommy Atkins, more especially the
Irishmen oe that name, manages often
to work in little humor in commune
ton with discipline. The Royal Innis-
killen Fusiliers were marching to their
musketry camp and halted for the
night at the little town of Kesh. The
surgeon captain attached to the regi-
ment for the march preferred to sleep
in the hotel, and his tent was not
pitched. Four men were told off next
morning. however, according to Gus
tom, to strike the doctors tent. and,
marching to the spot where 1t should
be. found a vacancy. "Where does
the doctor stay, anyway asked the
old soldier of the party, and he was
told that the doctor had slept at the
hotel. When the surgeon captain came
out of the hotel he found the old soldier
and the three other men waiting out
side, and asked them what they want
ed. Party to strike the doctors
tent" replied the old soldier, laconi-
cally. Whether the four gallant Fusili-
ers had intended to pull down the no
tel as soon as the doctor was out Of It
did not tralspire. for they were sent off
at once to their company.-London

south Atlantic. But on Cape Hatteras
the vessel ran into . terrible gale and
was foundered, the crew being saved
with the utmost difficulty. With the
Laura X. Fine, every cent Henderson
had I'm the world went to the bottom OF
the ocean, and he was compelled to
start In again at the bottom OF the lad
der.
1t was not until last year that Hen
derson found himself again In position
to start for the treasure. He went to
New Orleans and bought the stanch lit
tie vessel Frolic, belonging to the
Southern Yacht Club. He had her
thoroughly overhauled and renamed
her the Rover. Then he returned to
Jackson and persuaded an old friend,
Claude Thompson, upon whom he
could rely, to go with him.
On the 22d of February, the 59th an
niversary of Captain Henderson's
birth, the Rover left New Orleans, and
dropping down the river, turned her
head across the gulf on her long cruise.
The voyage was rapid one and with
out accident, and on the 18th Of April
the Tristan d'Acunha group was sight
ed. On the morning Of the 18th the
Rover entered the cove, where por-
ton of the wreck of the Lark could
still be seen.
Henderson and Thompson rowed
ashore alone and Notwithstanding the
thirty-five years which had interviewed
since he last visited the spot, Hender-
son led the way without hesitation to
the cave where the treasure lay buried.
Half an hour later the chest was I'M
earthed. 1t was not until they were
back in the calm of the river that they
broke open the chest. The contents
were found to be intact and uninjured.
Notes and gold together amounted to
$173,320.
The Rover's prov was turned home
ward without delay and two months
later the Adventures landed at Phila-
delphia end $4,000 in cash was
brought home by Henderson. who pro-
posed to spend the remainder of his
days in peace, enjoying his wealth,
which he had waited so long to get.
1t was not until the appearance Of
Howard Summers a few days ago that
any one questioned Captain Hender-
sons right to the entire fortune. Young
Summers, however, claims that he is
the son of Captain William III. Sum-
mers. He alleges that when Captain
Summers sailed away on his last voy.
age he left wife and hoy baby at
Baltimore. The wife has since died.
They heard of the bark being caught in
the hurricane off the South American
coast and as nothing further was ever
heard Of Summers they believed that
the brig had foundered with all on
board. Mrs. Summers knew that her
husband had large sum of money
with him, but she supposed that, too,
was at the bottom Of the ocean. 1t
was only recently that Summers, Jr.,
learned of Henderson's return and he
has at once taken steps to establish his
title to one-half of the money.

The development Of electrical power
at Niagara Falls In vast quantities has
resulted In the installation In the new
Carmelite Hospice Of an electrical
plant for cooking and heating which
has not rs equal In the world. This
hospice Is located on the Canadian side
of the river some distance back from
the falls.
From the power station to the trans
former house Of the hospice, two miles,
the current Is conducted on bare cop
per wires. About 100 horse power is
used In the hospice. % horse power for
lighting, cooking and heating the wa
ter, and 20 horse power for heating the
lower floor of the building.
In the buffers pantry there are three
b-gallon urns and chatting dish cleo
trically operated. One of the urns Is
used for tea, one for coffee, and one
for boiling water to supply the coffee
and tea urns.
In the kitchen are to be found feat
ures that are most interesting. The
range has heating surface Of six
square feet, and each square foot Of
surface has a switch and can be con-
trolled to full or half heat at the will
OF the operator or cook. The baking
and roasting facilities are included in
two small ovens and one large oven.
The large oven Is so arranged that it
will roast four 25-pound roasts Of meat
at one time. Some idea Of the work
this equipment in this electrical kitch-
en- will do may be gained from what
was accomplished in It on June Is, the
occasion of the blessing of the building
and its formal opening for sacred pur-
poses. At that time all the meats for
250 people were cooked in two and a
half hours, while all the other cooking
for the same number of people was
done at the same time. This is with
the exception of the soup, which was
made the day before, as 1t requires
many hours of attention to be good. AS
the heat of all the apparatus Is uni
form, the liability to burn Is less than
with other fuels. AS the point of bak-
ing or roasting is plainly indicated the
cook can make no mistake. In the
small ovens bread can be baked in Is
minutes.

when the world is fast asleep,

An angel stands at the PROV,
And an angel stands at the dream.

With q rue-wreath on her brow.
The other angels, silver-crowned,

And the angel with the wreath OF rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.
The dreams they fall on rich and poor;
They fall on young and old;
And some are dreams Of poverty
And some are dreams Of gold.
And some are dreams that thrill with
JOY,
And some that melt to tears;
Some are dreams of the dawn OF love,
And some Of the old dead years.
On rich and poor alike they fall,
Alike on young and old,
Bringing to slumbering earth their
joys
And sorrows manifold.
The friendless youth in them shall do
The deeds of mighty men,
And dropping age shall feel the grace
OF buoyant youth again.
The king shall be beggarman-
The pauper be a king
In that revenge or recompense
The dream-ship dreams do bring.
So ever downward float the dreams
That are for all and me,
And there Is never mortal man
Can solve that mystery.
But ever onward in its course
Along the haunted skies
AS though it were cloud astray-
The ghostly dream-ship flies.
Two angels with their silver crowns
Pilot and helmsman are,
And an angel with a wreath Of rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.
