HAUNTED BY MEMORY.

One Man who Will Never Forget the Sa-
moan Disaster.
ct suppose that all Of us who felt the
living, frenzied force of that awful on
shore hurricane will dream about it
occasionally as long as we live, said
an ex-bluejacket of the United States
navy now living in Washington, who
was among the Vandalia ships COM
pany at the time of the great naval dis
aster in Apia harbor, Samoa, in revert
ing to that experience. "For three or
four years after got out of that mess
all safe and sound the memory of it
used to get tangled up in my head when
/ was asleep, and would wake in a
tremble and be unable to sleep for the
remainder of the night. But time has
softened the craggier edges Of the re-
membrane of that horrifying black
wind, and once in spell nowadays
forget all about it for two or three days
at time.
'There was one man in my mess on
the Vandalia who was never quite right
after we went on the reef | was ship
mate with him for two years afterward.
and his occasional wildness was plain
to all hands, and men who've been ship
mates with him sinoe-for he's still IN
the outfit-tell me that he's just as bad
" haunted by the memory of the disas-
ter as he was when last saw him.
This man was a shipwright, and his
name was Turley. Before we had that
bad blow Turley was as cheerful and as
clipper man around decks as ever
snapped yarns with, but when he got
we'll of his broken arms down in Apia
he was changed man. never saw
him crack a grin after the blow, and
from a stout, husky fellow he became
thin and haggard looking. He recovered
all right physically from the thing, you
see, but it sort of twisted his head and
preyed upon him. He swung his ham
mock alongside of me on the Alert for
two years after we were sent up to duty
on the west coast again, and it was a
common thing for Turley to hop out of
his hammock in frenzy in the middle
of the night in port or at sea, yelling
like a mailman: All hands abandon
shipl She's going to strike 7 He created
a lot of excitement up forward by doing
this, but after awhile the men got used
to it and only turned over when they
heard Turley bowling.
SIT was the regular thing for the cor
poral of the marine guard at the gang
way to prod the poor chap awake when
he had these crazy somnambulistic
spells and put him back in his hammock,
for he'd come out of them as weak as a
kitten and trembling all over. There
were number of us on the Alert who
were washed up in the Samoan disaster,
and naturally once in awhile we'd get
to talking about it. But it didn't take
us long to find out that we couldn't talk
about it while Turley was around. The
mention of the thing in his hearing
would bring an insane CLEAN into his
eyes, and he would suddenly begin to
talk incoherently and at the top of his
voice about reefs and dragging anchors
and all that, so that we learned to
knock off Samoan hurricane talk when
be was around. I don't wonder much
either. 1t was an evil enough blow to
nigh turn any mans headgear topsy

MIsER GENIUsEs.


1Fen Who Have Reduced Money Saving
TO Fascinating Art.
The fascinating study of financial
gain amounts almost to genius in some.
Avarice was the inspiration Of one Of
our own great men, Franklin, whose
memory is debased by his reputation as
"Poor Richard Z" The masterpiece of
Balzac is his novel Eugene Grandet. p"
The hero, old Grandet, is miser whose
financial genius amounts to the sublime
and which Balzac contrives and succeeds
in making almost picturesque.
Among the most distinguished misers
was Daniel Dancer. Upon the death of
his father Dancer came into the estate,
which yielded good income. One Of
his sisters lived with him and imbibed
the misery teachings. Dancer was re-
markable for the style of his garments.
His coat was made of pieces of every
hue and texture, collected from the
streets and ash heaps His garments
were held together by twist of hay.
He and his sister lived happily in a
howell, the paneless sashes of which were
darkened with boards, rags and papers.
Soap and towels being expensive, Mr..
Dancer occasionally washed in a pond
and dried himself with sand. Three
pounds of coarse beef and IA dumplings
formed their menu for years, except
upon one occasion, when Providence
changed the course of these viands.
Mr.. Dancer, walking one day in
search of bones and other delicate offal,
found dead sheep and carried it home
in triumph. His sister received it as an
immediate gift from heaven. Time
went on, and the maiden fell ILL., Lady
Temple, generous neighbor, was so
kind that Miss Dancer determined to
leave her 60, 600, but she died before
the will could be signed, and her brother
claimed her fortune as the price of her
board for 80 years.
He constantly guarded against thieves
and concealed his gold and bank notes
with the spiders among their cobwebs
In the cowhouse and in the holes in
the chimney, covering them with ashes
The light of generosity, however, pene-
trated one chink of his miserable soul
he loved his dog, and while denying
himself bread he allowed his dog a pint
of milk daily with other delicacies. Mr..
Dancers delight in life was to visit the
holes where his wealth was kept and
count it.
In his seventy eighth year Dancer
became violently i'll, but refused to see
physician. Again Lady Temple played
the good fairy at the wretched howell,
attending him to the last and was gen
erously rewarded by his immense for
tune, which he left to her.
1t would not be difficult task to
show the influence Of avarice upon ma
tions; the evils of society, the corrup-
tions of religion and the tragedies of
war have often been instigated and sup
ported by this base passion. Detroit

how soon we see It fade. The young
wife looks at her yellow skin, sunken
cheeks and hollow eyes and marvels at
her own falling off. And the younger
girls still retaining the beauty of youth
wonder wwhat her husband could have
seen attractive in her, not knowing that
it will be their turn to fade very soon.
HOW 10 KEEP BEAUTY.
In order to preserve this beauty of
youth, to retain the charm OF sweetness
and freshness which belongs to maiden
hood, the prerequisite is to understand
that the chief foe of woman's beauty e
womanly ill-health. Young women are
often very careless of themselves. The
temptation of the dance, or of the sleigh
ride overrules their prudence, and the
result is suppression and perhaps irregu-
larity. This 10 only the beginning OF
worse evils, and yet this alone Is suf-
fcient to steal the freshness from the
face. The woman1y health should be
protected with the utmost care and the
first symptom of arrangement or disease
should be met by the use of DR.. Plerce's

WOMAN'S BEAUTY.
How it is Made or Marred.

There is nothing more subtle than
woman's beauty. It e1udes all attempts
to analyze it. A woman may have the
measurements aud lines of the Medician
Venus and yet lack beauty. Or she may
defy artistic standards and be known
everywhere as beautiful woman. There
Is, however, one kind of beauty which is
recognized by all and which Is every
woman's dover, beauty to which the
French have given the name of The
Beauty of Youth" Many time we
turn to watch some sweet, young girl,
impressed by her beauty. But If we
analyze the beauty we find it is made up
of smooth skin, clear complexion, bright
eyes, ruddy lips and rounded contours.
That beauty ought to last always But
