some Really Fine Sayings Worthy
Of Universal Acceptance.
The Japanese do not expect to gather
grapes from thorns or figs Of thistles,
but they phrase our thoughts somewhat
differently. They say, 1.-The spawn of
frogs will become nothing but frogs"
We have a saying, "Despise not the
day Of small things" Their Famous
swords are made Of iron scrapings" Is
much more picturesque.
The idea of our Call lay the load on
the willing horse" they express by
1aThose who know the ropes do most of
the hauling" While our commonplace
"Out of evil good may come" finds with
them a fine poetical expression in "The
lotus springs from the mud" and in
point of poignancy our adding insult
to injury is vastly inferior to their
Rubbing salt on sore"
The japanese have some really fine
sayings worthy of universal acceptance,
such as "Thine own heart makes the
world" or ''The poet at home sees the
entire universe" or ''The throne Of the
god is on the brow of righteous man."
Their nice observance of manners is
evidenced by sayings such as Excess
of politeness becomes impoliteness,"
their national suspiciousness in the like
of "Don't trust a pigeon to carry grain, "
and the handy mans adherence of a
bungler finds expression in numerous
quips such as Learning to swim in
field" or Scratching the foot with the
shoe on"

COMPELLED TO SINK VESSEL,
Crew Of Disabled Steamer Picked Up

New York, Jan. 19.-The steamer
Pennsylvania of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can line, which arrived during the day
from Hamburg, brought into port thir-
teen distressed seamen who were taken
off the disabled Norwegian steamer
Siggen. On Jan. Is, the same day on
which she came up with the st. Louis,
the Pennsylvania fell in with the Sig
gen, lying helpless in the trough Of
the sea and flying signals of distress.
The captain of the Siggen asked to be
taken off and with his crew came on
board the Pennsylvania. The captain
said the Siggen sailed from Sydney, C..
B., on Jan. 7. On the 10th she lost
her propeller and as the weather was
very tempestuous the craft became un-

A DESERT CARAVAN.
ITS Start Across the Dreary Sand
Wastes of Sahara.

Its Start Across the Dreary Sand
Wastes of Sahara.
There were the last words, instruc-
lions, cautions, adieus, and then Abilul
lab held up his hand. Ali gave the cry
of the camel driver, and the uncouth
beasts, twisting and snarling under
their loads, struggled to their feet.
Another cry, and they began their
voyage. They traversed the square,
passed the mosque, turned down mar.
row street and in five minutes crossed
the line that bounded the oasis and en-
tered upon the desert.
Immediately the dun leader took his
place at the left and slightly in advance.
The fourth on the right of the dun was
the black racer He carried two wa
ter skins and Abdullah's saddle. Then
came in ranks fifteen camels, Ali riding
in the center. On the right flank rode
the two women, with enormous red and
white cotton sunshades stretched be-
hind them; then at an interval of six
rods came fifteen camels unattended
They simply followed the squad in
front. The dun leader and the black
racer had lanyards about their necks
The other camels had no harness save
the surcingles that held their loads.
In panic, a sandstone, fusillade
from Bedouins, a mirage and a race
for water, if Abdullah and Ali could
grasp these lanyards the caravan was
saved since the other camels followed
the dun leader and the black racer as
sheep follow the bellwether.
Abdullah walked at the left, abreast
of the dun. At intervals he rode the
black racer.
The pace Of a caravan is two miles
an hour, but Abdullah's, the two Grip
pies included, could make two miles
and a quarter The black racer could
make sixty miles a day for FIVE days
without drinking, but at the end OF
such a journey his hump would be no
larger than a pincushion, and his tenn

here. The explosion occurred In the
starboard aft eight-inch target and
was due to the accidental discharge of
percussion primer while the breech
of the gun was open. The full charge
exploded in the turret and killed or in
jured all the crew of the gun, number
ing nine men. Ensign Ward E. Wort.
man, who was in charge of the turret,
escaped injury, though he was stand
