Captain Hans Miron, who lost his
life ut his post OF duty on the burning
Saale nj Hoboken. was fond of telling
of his early introduction TO the stern
realities of his chosen career. He had
but lust come on board the schooner
where as cabin boy he was to serve his
apprenticeship to the sea and was still
staring about hinf with boyish interest
and inquisitiveness when the skipper
approached and ordered him TO assist
IN washing down the deck.
He put down his bundle and started
awkwardly to do SO, when second
order. accompanied by emphatic ex-
plctivcs. was given him TO take of his
shoes aud stockings. He was perfectly
willing to oblige but at home he had
not been permitted to wet his feet.
mo" he answered innocently. with an
engaging smile, IL should not mind,
but my mother does not allow it,
The skipper was rough old sea dog
who did not appreciate obedience I'M
less II was rendered to himself. and his
reply was a stunning blow that flung
the boy across the deck. but after
that" Captain Miron would say, with n
great laugh and not a shadow OF re-
sentiment. Il knew who was captain OF
that schooner, and 1t was not my
mother"

At the time of Colonel Codys advent
into the capital of Germany the old
emperor William was entertaining
there three kings of smaller Germanic
powers. The royal gentlemen Were
very much Interested In the Buffalo
Bin exhibitions. and Colonel Cody was
the recipient Of many favors from the
emperor himself One feature of the
performance was the exhibition of the
antiquated Deadwood coach containing
passengers who are attacked by In
dams and finally rescued 10y cowboys.
The kaiser asked to be- allowed to
ride in this vehicle with his royal
guests and to participate In this 1t ter
esting experience. The request WAS Of
course granted. and when the Goa Ii
was furiously assailed by hoW.ing In
dams its inmates were as usual saved
by gallant cowboys.
After it was over and as the royal
party were descending from the coach
the emperor remarked
Colonel Cody, | do not suppose this
is the first time that you have ever held
four kings"
NO, your majesty" returned the
quick witted scout. but this is the first
time ever held four kings and royal

southern constituency was expelled
from the house of commons for forgery
and indeed endured the purgatory Of
standing in the pillory for II day. He
was Il man of unctuOuS picty, and his
career in many respects resembled that
of Jabez Balfour in later days. After
bis death the following prayer was
found in his own handwriting among
his papers:

Fresh Water Springs In MidOccnn.

Several fresh water fountains are
known to exist In the gulf of Mexico
where vessels have frequently filed
their casks with Ice cold sweet water
that comes up like geyser In the
midst of the salt water. The fresh
water springs. as the sailors call them,
have been known in the gulf for 200
or 800 years. They were discovered by
early voyagers and were the salvation
of many mariner whose supply of
fresh water ran short while he was
becalmed in the doldrums. Some of
the fresh water springs are marked
upon the charts, but there Is so little
need of them nowadays by the steam
ers on the gulf and the sailing feet Is
so small that no attention Is paid to
them. and they have passed out of the
knowledge Of the younger skipper

A dusty" ocean highway sounds al.
most Incredible Yet those who al
familiar with sailing ships know TIL
no matter how carefully the decks ma.
be washed down in the morning and
how little work of any kind may he
done during the day nevertheless if the
decks are not swept at nightfall an
enormous quantity of dust will quickly
collect. OF course on the modern
elmer" the burning Of hundreds of ton,
of coal every 81 hours and the myriad
of footballs daily would account for a
considerable accumulation of dust, but
on wind jammer," manned with a
dozen hands or less, no such dust pro
ducing agencies are at work. And yet
the records of sailing ships show that
they collect more sea dust than does a
steamer, which is probably accounted
for by the fact that while the dust
laden smoke blows clear of the steamer
the large area of canvas spread by the
Sailer acts as dust cOllcctOr.-Mari.
