mutineers7as w. A. Hobbs, Ernest Sears
and James, Turner They were shipped in
The second officer, Mr. Nixon, was shot
while attempting to rescue the captain. In

and coops,9 formed raft, and launched it
from the Ship, which was then about 300
miles north OF nthe Pitcairn Island The
captain searchedDfor the raft the next day,

the rest of the crew on the poop intending
to await daylight and then attempt to cap

the men who refused to join them. and take

The Cses Of Ice.

In health no one ought to drink very
freely of ice water; for it has occasion
ed fatal inflamations ofthe stomach and
bowels and sometimes sudden death.
The temptation to drink it is very
great in summer. To use it at all with
any safety a person should take but q
swallow at time, taking the glass
from the lips for half a minute, and
then another swallow, and SO on. 1t
will be found that III this way it be-
comes disagreeable after few mouth
fuls: On the other hand, ice itself may
be taken as freely as possible, not only
without injury, but with the most
striking advantage in dangerous forms
of disease.
A kind of cushion of powdered ice
kept to the entire scalp has allayed vio-
lent Inflammation of the brain, and ar
rested fearful convulsions induced by
too much blood there.
All infammations, internal or exter-
ral, are promptly subdued by the ap-
plication of ice or ice water, because it
is converted into steam, and rapidly
conveys away tie extra heat, and also
diminishes the quantity of blood in the
vessels of the part.
Insomnia may be relieved by wet
ting towel in ice water and laying 1t
on the back of the neck, covering it
over with dry towel smoothly folded.
1t is also particularly useful in case of
a dull headache.
A piece of ice laid on the wrist will
often arrest violent bleeding OF the
nose.-The Ladies' World.

PEARLS OF THOJCHE

A good husband is but the evaa,ltioa
of good son.
Facile gratitude always carries with
it an atmosph ere Of insincerity.
Until you have scaled the heights of
10y do not call petty pleasures hasni'
ness.
The sympathetic woman is the wom-
on who is longest and most widely
beloved.
It's all right for charity to begin at
home, but it's very wrong to have x
end there.
AS soon as we are quite content wltn
ourselves others begin to notice marks
of degeneration.
Marital contentment consists In the
ability of the concerned parties to re-
spect the individuality Of each otner'
The talent of reservation is little
cultivated. To reserve a little either
of confidence or money works excel
lently we'll.
There never was a man whom an
artful woman could not persuade thai
he was unappreciated, nor vain WON
an who ever felt that she was quite
derstood.-Philadelp Record

Chicken Tarts-Chop cold chicken
very fine and season to taste. Boil an
onion and one quart of milk; when it is
scalding hot, take out the onion and

Romaine Salad-Remove the outer
green leaves from two hearts OF ro-'
maine, wash carefully and dry thor

vinegar and one and half OF sweet
oil; serve Immediately.
Creamed Peas-Buy the best brand
of canned peas. Open the can several
hours before it is needed for dinner;
turn the peas out in colander, pour a
pitcher of cold water over them, and
when they are drained dry turn them
into a dish. Make cream sauce OF
one cup of rich milk, one tablespoonful
of butter rubbed smooth in one OF Hour,
one saltspoonful of salt and two dashes
of white pepper; stir until boiling,

minutes.
OYSTER Salad-Drain the liquor from
one pint of nice oysters; heat one cup

Boys Rooms.

Considerable is said about girls
rooms, but little is said of boys rooms.
The inference is left that any room
will satisfy him. 1t is true that a
manly boy usually dislikes room
fixed in milliners fashion, with rib
bons and hangings of cretonne or silk,
but he usually has decided taste of
his own if he is an intelligent boy, and
even more pronounced likes and dis
likes than his sister. He generally
prefers simple, rather hard bed, with
rlenty of pillows. A bedstead of brass,
or iron trimmed with brass, is suit
able one. Put into his room "chest
of drawers" with glass at the top.
Let the washstand be an affair OF
metal, an English shape of ample di-
mensions, with large basin and foot
tub for splashing. There should Be a
lounge or an easy lounging chair and
cushion. Let there be set of cuff and
collar boxes, a low blacking chair, with
q space under the seat where the black
ing Is stored away AMI there is Ioot-
hold where he can attend to his own
bootblacking. The closets should be;
furnished with "holds" for coats and,
trousers, so they will not get out CT.
shape while hanging. There should:
also be low shelf to hold shoes when:
not in use, and higher one for hats
and boxes. It is as necessary that a.
boy grow up with systematic, orderly
habits as that his sister should. A boy
can grow up in an orderly way, which
will be useful to him in his after
career, or he may be so careless and
erratic in his ways Of living that his.
method will be a veritable stumbling:
block in life's history.-New York

eight feet and more. Summer extends
over four months. During it's earliest
months high winds prevail. The bal

A DOG SCHOOL.
An Institution in Paris Devoted to
Canine Culture:

In NJ. Edward Cillette's school of
etiquette for dogs in Paris CANNES are
trained. The school room is large
square apartment, furnished with a
few rugs on its polished floor; some
chairs and a table or two. On the
school assembling in the morning the
roll is called. The teacher. looking
exceedingly dignifed, taps his desk,
and the dogs Immediately form in line.
Then, in a pleasant but commanding
voice; he calls the dogs names in ro-
tation, each animal being trained to
respond with sharp, quick bark and
wag of the tail. The first lessoii at:
ter the performance of the regulation
discipline is to learn to welcome visi-
tors. No matter who comes into the
room unexpectedly, each dog is taught
to greet the newcomer with a low;
short Bark: The animal must also
Jump Up and wag his tail, but must
keep far enough away from the visitor
to cause him no discomfort. Each dog
goes through this performance three
times, and returns TO it's place in line
like a soldier:
If dog is unruly, it is marched to
a chair in the corner of the room and
made to crouch on it's hind legs beside
it and pray for half an hour. Then
the dogs are taught gallantry. For
instance, if you drop your handkerchief
at one end of the room and an educat-
ed dog happens to be at the other; he
will scanper along to pick it up; then
come running after you with a few
barks to attract your attention, after
which he surrenders his burden most
fasiidiously: The dogs are taught to
pick UP any dropped article in this
fashion:
Prancing, dainty little steps are
taught the animals for the street, as
we'll as deep and profound obeisance.
A visitor to any house where an edu.
Gated dog is kept never leaves without
the dog following her to the door eth.
ef beside or behind its mistress. Then.
stretching out it's fore paws, it bends
the front part of it's body Until its
head rests on the floor. It does not
rise, moreover, until the door is closed.

THE horse could save you; l am too

The horse could save you; l am too
nlany.
The Texan comprehendea her mean.
ing, sad in that moment Of peril ne
realized that the indian girl loved him.
Fearing that she might execute her
suggestion and sacrifice herself to save
him. he instantly grasped her in his
arms. and it was in that moment ct
peril tnat their tr.,- was plighted.
The horse came upon smooth ground
and in short time he began to get
further away from the herd.
Right there" says the Texan, Il
made up my mind to love that little
Indian girl forever, and resolved
mat, if we escaped the danger that
pursued US, 1 would do everything in
my power during life to make her
happy"
The noble horse continued to in
crease the distance between his heels
and the sharp horns Of his pursuers
until he again encountered rough
ground.
Ward at this moment for the first
time, thought OF his pistol. and huc-
riedly drawing the weapon he poured
stream of lead into the faces Of the
cattle.
He was gratifled to see that the pro.
gress of the herd was slightly retard-
ed by the bodies of the several ami
mails that he killed.
Again the heroic girl suggested the
idea of sacrificing herself ta save the
man she loved.
IF the horse falls" she said, you
must lie close to him and the cattle
will jump over YOU"
1T was evidently her intention"
says Ward, in referring to the matter,
"te stand on the body Of the horse in
case he fell and make an effort %
frighten the steers while crouched by
the side Of our exhausted stced.'
The horse had no notion Of falling.
Once more his heels came in contact
with clear ground and he carried mis-
burden in triumph to the hriak of the
little stream.
Ward turned his head and with I
shout of exultation he threw his hat
in the faces of the leaders of the stani>
peded herd as the horse plunged Into
the water that the flames could hot
cross. The Texan knew that the hot
steers would stop to cool their parched
tongues, and when the horse had
crossed the river he pressed a kiss on
the Indian cheek and Whispered to
her:
You have saved my life, and it be.
longs to YOU"
And he will keep his word-Onsha
