1t is usually an accepted fact that
aboard every sailing ship at sea The
captain is an autocratic ruler whose
word is the only law, and from which
there is no appeal until the ship reaches
port. This is true but under autocratic
governments men learn to be cunning.
Jack seldom resorts to open violence in
resisting an unjust order. but he has
many ways of circumventing it.
There was once a captain who had
the reputation of being exceptionally
misery with ships stores. He doied
out the weekly allowance of rations
himself, taking off one spoonful of SUI
gar where the scale seemed ever so
slightly to be favoring the sailor. He
kept the key to the storeroom under his
pillow at night, and when he came up
on deck to observe the wealth he took
it with him. In warm weather he made
his men go about barefooted, so that
they should not wear out the decks
When the ship that this skipper CONF
manded got into the tropics one voy-
age, an epidemic of cockroaches and
various other obnoxious insects dcvel-

possible for the men to sleep in their
hunks. Now. paint is always a sure
cure for troubles of that sort. so the
sailors applied to the bos'n for some
paint with which to renovate the in
terror of the forecastle. But. accord
ing to rules aboard this particular ship,
the bosn referred the men to the mate,
and the mate referred them to the cap
tain. So they went aft and asked the
captain for paint.
What for?" he asked.
"Forecastle's full o. bugs" explained
the Oldest seaman.
Bugs! You want my precioust paint

While the use of the seeds darkens the

RECIPES FOR
PREPARING THE
GOLDEN OUNCE
The Proper Time for Ounce
Preserving Sweet Apples Add a
Pleasant Flavor TO the Ounce.

While the ounce in its natural state
is not an edible fruit, it lends itself
to number of appetizing preserves
and rehshes.
Do not try to preserve ounces until
they begin to turn yellow. If frost
threatens they may be gathered and
laid aside to ripen.
Preserved Quinces-When all are
uniformly yellow and ready to "cut
up, rub off the fur with a crash towel,
pare core and quarter, dropping the
pieces into cold water to prevent dis
celebration. Save all the good parings
and cores in a separate vessel for max
ing jelly.
Put two layers of the ounce quar-
tiers into preserving kettle, cover
with cold water and cook over slow
tlre until the fruit is tender. Never
make the mistake of boiling ounces in
syrup before boiling them tender in
water, as sugar will harden uncooked
ounces When the ounces are tender
enough to pierce easily with a fork,
skim out and lay on a. flat dish to cool.
Repeat this process until all the
ounces are cooked. Strain the water
in which the ounces have been boiled,
and to each pint of juice allow three
quarters of a pound of sugar. Boil
gently for ten minutes and then put
in as many ounces as the syrup will
cover. Simmer. gently about half an
hour, or until the ounces turn a rich
red. Lift out with a silver spoon and
drop piece by piece into wide-mouthed
glass cans. Set in a basin of hot
water to prevent their breaking. Let
the syrup boil a little longer, then
pour over the fruit until the juice runs
down the side of the can, and seal.
Ounce With Sweet Apple.-Sweet
apples may be used with ounces and
viii give pleasant flavor, but the APP
pies must be removed from the kettle
at least ten minutes before the ounces.
as they do not require so long time
TO cook
Use one-third Of quartered apples TO
two-thirds OF ounces. Put the ounces
and apples Ia alternate layers IN the
cans. pour the boiling syrup over all,
and seal.

toes.-Cut the prepared ounces IN
dice and cook them in cold water until
tender. Weigh out tho same amount

good deal elated over his good for
tune and would hardly speak to his
nearest neighbors. The news of his
luck flew like wildfre all over Bing-
Vile, and was being discussed in front
of the postoffice the same evening
when Jared Peterson, who lives four
little more important than usual and
hustled into the postoff1ce for his mail,
incidentally he told Postmaster Eph
Higgins that a tramp he had enter
tanned once had Just left him 100000.
He hardly got through telling it until
Abner Wilson, who lives three miles
south, also arrived and said that a
tramp had just left him small for
tune of $4,000
The long and short of it is shat the
deacon, Jared and Abner all got to-
gether and began to compare notes.
When they found that the same law
yer had been to see all three of them,
that the tramp's name was the same,
that the wills were identical except
the name of the inheritor, and that the
amounts were all the same. they knew
that they had been robbed.
Seth Dewberry, Bingville's fearless
constable, was at once placed on the
swindler's trail. Seth jumped on a
horse and rode it fast for eight miles
toward the county seat, but seeing
no one answering the description Of
the robber, turned about and came
home, in disgust.

New-York There at present ten preaching

for such services. All the Presbyterian work In
Western New-York is within the bounds OF the
