CHAPTER IL.

AS soon as the dead could be buried tho
brig was rendered fit for sailing, and hny-
ing put crew on board sufficient to sail
her, Captain Howard shaped his course
for Galveston. The prisoners were all
confined on board the schooner, where
most of them spent their time In cursing
their captors.
Jil0k Tudcl was man not far from
forty years of age, with u complexion al.
most as dark as an Indians. Ilc was u
lcrero by birth and education. and after
m'ny years of villainy upon the land, he

murdcrous threats when he was first con.

Clarence Howard gazcd upon this man,
and wondered IL 1t was possible that An.
tonic st Mare had agreed that his sweet
child should marry with such being.
He had begun 10 doubt the truth OF the
wandering wOman's assertions when new
proof came from the mans own lips.
One afternoon the young captain went
down upon the berth.deck to see how his
prisoner came on, and after he had gazed
awhile upon Tudel. and was upon the
point Of turning away. the latter spoke;
"SenOr captain" he said, what do
you mean TO do with me!'

thOrities at Galveston" was Towards

An Opportunity For Indf prndence.

blend with pannier fashions, so reasons nings.
 Permissible skirt elaborations are so many that denying the pannier a right to be fashionable should not be difficult Overskirts are allowed to those who like them. Flounces and sash garni- lures of many sorts are available, and double and triple skirts are in the list. The latter form of skirt should prove a satisfactory substitute for panniers. If arranged like the one shown here with 1t will not demand such accom- paniments of Dolly Warden fashions as hip bunhces and pinched waist, This dress was sketched in white India silk dotted with crimson.

 The sleeve not cut to show an under sleeve may be made with a lower sleeve. The former model implies that one sleeve really ends and that another appears below, while the latter model demands that the part of the sleeve be- tween elbow and wrist be trimmed to suggest an under sleeve, or else be of material contrasting with the upper part. The real under sleeve is more in favor, and the most delicate effects are accomplished with needlework, fine lace or embroidery.

MOSOUI1OE AND Ma L4RT4.

| The scientific study of malaria which is now going on will doubtless be productive of some interesting
 knowledge even if it doesn't provide disease. Just now the mosquito is con- sidered the villain that spreads malaria,
 and even the unscientifc are willing to
 believe that he is capable of such work
 The mosquito theory is to be careful ly tested in Italy this year, In the fall the Italian Society for the Study of
 Malaria, in cooperation with the var-
 ous railroads of the kingdom, will car
 " on series of experiments on a
 large scale in order to prevent as far
 as possible the ravages of the disease among the railroad employees At the stations where the employees and their families have suffered the most, their dwellings will be enclosed in mosquito netting, it having been found in last years experience most successful measure The blood of the sufferers will be sent to hospitals for examina- tion, and research stations will be es- tablished to study the disease in it's relation to the rice fields, and also in it's relations to bracksh waters and the maceratlon of textile plants. By this combina ton of efforts and the wide dis tribution of the stations it is hoped to gain much information regarding the local characteristics and the regional distribution of malaria in Italy, and to ascertain the preventive measures best adapted to the different parts of the country.
 If it is found that the mosquito is a malara-bird, and if a way is then found to exterminate him there will be 1 rejoicing in many places, including some places in this region.

CORN.

Up to the beginning of last week corn in this region was having rather un- certain time of it. There had been many days that were extra good for the human race, and the days that were extra good for corn had been few and not very near between. But last week had suffered. The golden sun sent down coplous and steady streams of warm who have ears to hear say there was much rejoicing in all the cornstalks criticism of the human beings who, bearing fardels and grunting and sweating under weary life, forgot to appreciate the good corn weather. It certainly seems reasonable that while corn is steadily doing its duty and cheerily growing for us we should not complain of good corn weather. Rather
 
 with our New England poet sing:
 Let other lands exulting glean
 The apple from the pine,
 The orange from its glossy green,
 The cluster from the vine.
 But let the good old corn adorn
 The hills our fathers trod.
 Still let us, for his golden corn,
 Send up our thanks to God"
 There will be more good corn weather, and perhaps those who forgot to ap- pfeciate what there was last week will then repent and be glad that though man is forgetful and ungrateful the benevolent scheme of things is such that johnny-cake can be hot in the mouth.

BIG THUNDER'S OLD STYLE VISIT
 Chief Nicola, or Big Thunder of the Penobscot tribe of Indians, is eighty years old, and he wants to smoke the pipe of peace with the Great Father at Washington. So he is going thither, but not in the effete style of modern days, riding on the dusty cushions of rail- road train. He is going in his canoe and in his prime, will accompany Big and in his D rime, will accompany Big Thunder. and together they will float down the Penobscot to the Big Water, and follow down the coast to the home of the great white chief Their canoe will be of special construction, rather high of freeboard, to withstand the feaming whitecaps, and built from the coat of the silver birch. It will be sew- ed with cedar roots and the seams will be healed with pitch from the pride of the Pine Tree state. No nails or mod ern process of construction will be used. One thousand dollars has been offered by Washington man for the canoe when she arrives.-Lewiston Journal.

l There are two people in New Haven (both Italians) who are so grateful to God for answering their prayers that | they are willing to spend hard-earned God has done for them. Their testimo- ny is given in the shape of fireworks and band-music, and great many peo- pie are thus made pleasantly aware of the fact that gratitude to God may still be fervent in New Haven, even to the point of being somewhat spectacular.
 Of course it wouldn't do for every thankful man in New Haven to spend his money for fireworks and band-music in the way Brother Muro and Brother Mariana have spent theirs It wouldn't be wise and those who have money to spend in thankfulness should of course spend it in the regular and approved ways. There are many such ways here, and many managers who are abundant ly able to use all the money that is, or
  is likely to be contributed. But we do not think that Brother Muro and Broth CT Mariana should be rebuked for the example they have set They have been glad to stand up at their own expense and tell of the faith that is in them, and they have preached impressively to large congregations through their fire works and their music. If all the peo- pie in New Haven who have reason to be grateful to God go to shooting off fireworks and exploding band-musc somebody will have to say something. But two in a population of 112,000 wont overturn the established order of things here

THE CHIN EiS r.

| When the trouble in China is over the
 rest of the world will know more about
 China and the Chinese than it ever has
 known. Some of the information that
 Is coming out isn't very pleasing Not
 long ago we were hearing and reading
 much about the great value of the "con-
 sessions" made to foreigners in China,
 An engineer who has had experience of | the Engineering and Mining Journal 1 which is very instructive as to indus
 trial coGditions there. He superintend-
 ed gold mine and found the royalty | and taxes almost prohibittve. But
 worse than the taxes was the dishones- ty of all hands officials and workmen. The Chinese workman, he found, steals for gain and also because of a magpie disposition to take anything valued by
 another" All the nuggets were stolen. Everything portable was carried off
 Tn one case" he says, "three thousand feet of lumber was stolen from us and
 resod to us so often that it appeared
 as twenty thousand feet on our books"
 robber band gathered near the mine
 and the robber chief was entertained
 by the Chinese military officer who was for that service. "As I read of these
 fine concessions my countrymen are getting for mining great tracts of gold
 bearing country I wonder" he says,
 "how much of the product will get to the pockets of the concessionaires. It would be exactly as much as the inter- est of the officials permitted, and the calculation of that interest by the off, eials would open the eyes of the most sordid scoundrel in America. My ex- perence was by no means unique. The beginning of Chinese railroads was made while I was in that country, and the engineer in charge proposed to have the best system possible, but he was forced to give up the block system of running trains because the natives stole all the parts that lay above ground They also stole nuts, bolts and fish plates. The Chinese understand min ing work on small scale, but they are confused by the swing of large opera tions. It is possible to pile up machin- cry, railroads and all other civilized things in China with grnt rapidity, but it will take a long time to change the mental condition of the people, If magician desired to destroy this Amer ica of ours he could do 1t at one stroke by taking away the mental characteris- tics that make the American workman what he is and substituting for them the mental characteristics of the Chi- nese. With all our resources we would be bankrupt in six months"
 Those who are talking so glibly about opening China and civilizing and Chris tianizing the Chinese probably do not 1 realize what a job it will be. or else they have the faith which moves moun- tains.

the southern part of Georgia, and the farmers would rather grow it than any other crop. Hitherto they have been deterred from growing it on large scale because of the difficulty of refin- ing the syrup and in finding a market. The new company will do this for them, and the acreage devoted to cane is eX- pected to increase rapidly. At the out set the company will not handle sugar, waiting until the cane crop is larger, but will devote its attention to the refining of syrup by patent pro- cess, which prevents it from sugaring or fermenting.

nave no sleeping or cooking-roon, anc no room to stow away" during the long hours at sea. Neither can they be kept dry in blow. They can be con- structed cheaply, but they are not yachts-they are sailing machines. ! They compare to the comfortable boat as racing sulky does to q phaeton. The other extreme from this machine is the straight-sided, flat-bottomed hulk built for yacht by the man who wants lots of room, and who has little idea of marine architecture. There Is a com mon idea, not borne out by facts, that straight-sided boat is safer than one with curving sides. This is not the ecas, however. These right-angle craft tip easily, do not gain stability, as q boat should, with increasing angle, and are slow and lubberly.
 Steamboats as well as sailboats are built on distorted lines, and among the examples of the latter is the steam cat amaran, or double-hulled boat, which was to make wonderful speed with very little power, but which proved a great disappointment to her builders, So much has she been talked about as coming wonder that when she made her first slow trip down the river, lugmen followed after and "guyed" the owner by threatening to have him pulled for running at dangerous rate and mak- ing too great bow-wash.
