ADRIFT ON A RAFT.
Thrilling Experience of a Boy in
the Gulf of Mexico.
Seven Days He Had Spent on His Little
Floating FIOOr-Impressi ssiOns of
a Pilot Who Would Not
Change His Course.

There is sometimes providence
that directs mans actions and the eX-
perience of an old pilot with head
quarters at New Orleans seems to bear
out the assertion. His story cannot
be better told than in his own words:
"Men in our line of business have
plenty of queer experiences he said,
"but [ think the strangest that ever
fell to my lot happened in 1898, right
after the great hurrican that swept
down the south coast and drowned so
many poor fisher folks on the little
islands. The storm blew itself away
on Sunday" the pilot went on, "and
next Sunday morning, having nothing
in particular to do, | decided to take
our steamer, which was a handy little
12-knot craft. and go for a two-hours'
run into the gulf from South Point
to see what | could see The water
was still full of driftwood and wreck
age from the fishermen's cabins, but
we noticed nothing in particular until
we had been out about an hour. Then
one of the men on the boat sighted

broken away from its moorings and
he suggested that we go and see

our course. Keep her head straight

my words would come true. but in
about half an hour we came in sight
of little raft dead ahead of us. and
as we got nearer we made out what
seemed to be a child on top of it. We
ran to within a couple of hundred feet
before we stopped, and then we saw
that the raft was evidently the floor

of some fishermarAs cabin. The child
was boy of IA or thereabouts and
he was sitting down with his head
hanging forward on his breast and his
arms stretched out, clutching the
planks. He looked for all the world
as if he was dead. but he was only
asleep, and when [ rang the bell he
Strengthened up all of a sudden and
glared at the ship like a person in

when he reached the ship he tainted.

continued the pilot. He was the son OF
a Gascon oysterman, who lived on
Grand Isle, and the hurricane had
caught him alone in the cabin. 1t tore
the ramshackle hut to pieces in an in
stant, and he found himself adrift on
the floor, which had miraculously hung
together. How he had lived through
the storm is one of those mysteries that
can never be explained, but he was car

was out of sight of land in the open

ORIGIN OF SCUTAGE.
4 Feudni Tax Tint Wns Exacted in
the Time of Henry ii.
of England.
ITO Be Continued

The tax or feudal payment known
as "scutage" is in all our books de-
scribed as device introduced by
Henry III. in 1856 or 1859, by which
his tenants in chief, the feudal mobiles
of England, were allowed or required
to pay fixed sum in money in lieu
of the fultillment of the military re
quirements of their tenure, that is, to
serve the king in the field with GER
tain number of followers. This, says
the International Monthly, was sup
posed to have had the twofold advan-
for the twofold purpose-of providing
the ambitious king with money with
which to hire a more mobile and eff
fective military force, and of weak
ening the military habits of the great
vassals. 1t appears, however, on close
er investigation, that scutages had
been collected before the time of Henry
H., and that they were not so much
combinations of military service rs
a special form of feudal imposition
scarcely distinguishable from the aid
or the donum. though, it is true, col
lected when otherwise summons to
actual military service might have
been expected. This is not the only
instance where n closer study of the
records has recently deprived famous
rulers of the traditional credit of ini-
tiating far-reaching lines of policy.
