A womanp armament.

In July 1898, the steamer Pegu
stopped at the East Indian port Of
Erid, one OF the places where pepper
is taken on. At that port the steamer
was boarded by IL Achinese men and
one woman. Capt. Ross, who COM
manded the steamer, searched the men
for weapons,as is customary whe'1 taxi
ing natives on board a merchantmen.
The men we're found to be unarmed,
but the woman, as afterwards was
learned, had concealed about her cloth
ing a fine assortment OF Malay knives.
When the captain and the chief engi-
neer, Cragie, were at dinner, six
armed Achinese burst into the cabin
and attacked them with great fury.
The officers defended themselves with
chairs, and although badly slashed,
managed to reach the deck. Cragie
ran to the engine room and locked
himself in. but the captain was cut to
pieces as soon as he reached the deck.
Meantime the other Achinese had kill
ed the mate and the man at the wheel,
cutting them down on the bridge. Two
more of the crew were killed on deck.
There were several Chinese passengers
on board. FIVE of whom were killed
outright, and FIVE driven overheard,
where they drowned. The Achinese
ran among the passengers and crew,
cutting right and left, and wounding
IA of them. Having terrorized every
one left alive on board, they broke
open the ships strong box and looted
it of $4,000. Then they lowered away
c0e of the steamers boats, placed their
booty in it, got in themselves and es-
capped.

The shah. Psseook Throne.

Among the boundless treasures Of
the Shah perhaps the peacock throne
ought to be accorded premier place.
1t is probably the most costly orna-
ment that the mind Of man has ever
conceived. The frame is entirely Of
silver, and above It the CLEANS of sill
yer melt into molten gold 1t is in
crusted from end to end and from top
TO bottom with diamonds. At the back
is a star Of brilliants that almost makes
the observer blink. The rug on which
the Shah reposes is edged with anne
thysts, and the pillow on which he re-
clines his imperial head is fringed with
pearls. Some travellers Burton among
them, have estimated the value Of the
peacock throne IT, $25,OO0,OO0. This ls
probably an exaggerated estimate but
experts say that half that sum would
be near the mark London Chronicle.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

There is no doubt of the essential no
bility of the man who pours into life
the honest vigor of his toll above those
who compose the feather-foam Of
fashion, who consider the insignia Of
honor to consist in wealth and indo-
lence, and who, ignoring the family
history, paint coats-of-arms to cover
up the leather aprons Of their grand
fathers.
Nothing is more fatal to success than
discouragement. The discouraged
man imparts his mood to others, and
thus it spreads like a contagion. 1t is
better not to display the feeling of
depression, even if it cannot be who'll
ly expunged from the mind.
The good we do, whether in practi-
cal activity, or simply in right think
ing, Is all of it, in some measure, use
full to those around US. But 1t is 20
less useful to ourselves, and even
from that point Of view we cannot
do too much Of it.
The human heart is like a graphic
puOue cyuuueTt anu lne bWetlebL rec
ords are often cut by the stylus Of
pain.
Hope is a fatterer, but the most up
right of all parasites, for she freQuents
the poor mans hut, as well as the
palace Of his superiors.
Human nature can only stand Ger.
tain strain, and social rudeness
stretches this elasticity to its utter
most limit IL not beyond 1t.
1t is one thing to wish to have truth
on our side, and another thing to wish
to be on the side Of truth.
The rarest feeling that ever lights
a human face is the contentment Of
a loving soul.
TO what deep CULTS a single devi-
alton from the track Of human duties
leads.
In general, every evil to which we
do not succumb is a benefnctOr.
There is no genius in life like the
genius Of energy and activity.

THE HALF-cENT PIECE.
II the Proposed New Coin BS Useful
to Shoppers?

to shopper?
The bargain counter OF the depart
ment store, which has been fought
over by women for the last decade,
and which has fourished despite the
united efforts of the comic artist and
the joke writer is receiving official
recognition as an American institu-
tons, says the st, Louis Republic.
Its influence has dictated bill
which is to be submitted to congress
authorizing the coming and circula-
ton throughout the United States OF
half-cent pieces. The secretary of the
treasury, who, by the way, halls from
that hotbed of bargain counters, Chi
cago, is said to be favorably impressed
with the demand for the 5-mill coin
and the comptroller of the currency
has thus far entered no protest.
The measure has friends by the
score in both halls Of the congress-
and it is hinted that an army of fe'
male lobbyists is to be turned loose
on" the unfavorable members when
the bill comes up for consideration.
This would seem to insure its passage,
unless some woman-hating Moses
should arise and lead the bill into the
dark and devious wilderness Of "the
table" Chicago and Philadelphia
are seid to be responsible for this new
legislative move. The enterprisini
bargain-counter men Of these citiei
have been racking their brains for
new way to appeal to the female con
eeption of frugality. They have
learned, with profit, that SO cents
seemg a lot less to the bargain-huntel
than 81, and argue, to themselves
that 9Sh cents would seem much less
still. Some Of them hit upon the plau
of putting fractional prices on their
wares and giving checks for the odd
half cent. Some of these checks were
of copper and resembled real money.
Uncle Sam is a bit careful of his coin
age interests and stopped the manu-
facture Of these checks. Then the bar
gain-counter man went to Washington
and laid his case before the officials
there, with the aforementioned re.
suit.

TIMELY FALL

OF Feathers Aided Thieves in Escaping
From the Police.
New York Cor Chicago Inter Ocean:
A friendly cloud Of goose and rooster
feathers that settled down over De-
lancy street yesterday afternoon, en-
Rbled three thieves to escape from a
pair of confused detectives. The thieves
had been ransacking the rooms Of a
burning tenement house at No. 217
Delaney street, from which the tene-
ants had fed, panicstricken. In the
opinion of the police there is no mean
or thief than the one who will rob
family turned out by fire, and the po-
lice, who figured in this case did what
they could to relieve their feelings by
kicking the thieves half way down the
flight Of stairs to the street, intending
to grab them again on the steps. But
as the thieves reached the steps a
score Of feather beds that had been
thrown out of the Hebrew tenements
upstairs by the flremen plunged down
on the sidewalk and burst. Feathers
rose up and swirled about in eddies.
Fire department wagons and horses
were covered with them, and so were
hundreds of Hebrews who were in the
streets. enjoying the last hour of
forty-eight hour holiday. The thieves
jumped into the cloud Of feathers and
escaped After the cloud had cleared
away the detectives yanked Morris
Rosenstein and Isador Goodman out
Of the crowd and locked them up on
suspicion that they we're pickpockets.
