Many years ago ship was chased
at sea on the suspicion that she was
a SLAYER. During the pursuit her cap
tain dropped something overheard.
When overhauled the old tub was tax
en- to Port Royal for trial. There was
nothing on board to sustain the charge
OF slave dealing, and there seemed ev-
cry likelihood Of its owner recovering
damages for illegal seizure and deten-
tion. But another ship had passed in
the night In the wake Of the others.
She had witnessed the chase and flight,
but had stopped to catch a shark by
the way. In the stomach of the shark
the sailors found a tin box. In the box
were the papers of the fugitive vessel.

High Thinking and Old Age.

That mental power helps to keep the
body strong and to preserve it from
decay cannot be doubted. The longest
lived men and women have been, as Il
rule, those who have attained great
mental and moral development They
have lived on higher plane than 9th
er men, in serene upper region, above
the jar, tumult and fret that weaken
most lives. 1t was at the age of scv-
enty-five that the Count de TresSan
recomposed his old chivalric romances
and wrote history of the progress of
the human mind. Herbert Spencer,
one of the deepest thinkers and hard
est workers of his day, passed away

Some EnElish CnNea.

The caves in the AIcndip hills in Eng
land are of vast extent, perforating
two masses of limestone lying on ci-
ther side OF core of old red sandstone
forming the center of the Mendips.
Some are 'swallet holes" absorbing
rivers, others stalactite caverns. one,
called Wookey hole, marks the cmer-
gcncc in the form of the river Axe Of
two streams ''swallowed' some miles
away One of these swallets is 800 feet
deep. Another cave, called Swildon's
hole, is drnped with wreaths and fcs-
toons of pure white stalactte. Lambs
Lair OH the northern side of the hills,
is the most magnificent stalactite cav
ern in Great Britain, while adjoining
Wookey hole another chamber has Just
been round with 1,200 stalactite pend
ants, all of dazzling whitcneSs. The
famous spring which gives its name to
the town of Wells is believed TO come
through hidden caverns from the high
er parts of the Mepdips.

given to calfskin in France The leath-
er is curried expressly for this purpose,
and particular care is taken to keep it
rs free rs possible from grease. Tie
skins are then tackled on frames and
coated with Il composition of linsecd
oil and lumber in the proportion of
eighteen gallons of oil to five of UNI
Der, boiled until nearly solid and then
mixed with spirits of turpentne to the
proper consistency. Lampblack is al
so added when the composition is APP
piled in order to give color and body.
From three TO four coats of this are
necessary to form Il substance to re-
ccive the varnish. They are laid on
with knife or scraper. To render
the goods soft and plant each coat
must be very light and thoroughly
dried after each application. \ thin
coat is afterward applied of the same
composition of proper consistency to
be put on with brush and with sulii-
cent lampbiack boiled in it to make
Il perfect black When thoroughly

Machinery Tones.

Engineers judge Of the condition OF
their machinery by the tone it gives
out while running. Every engine
whether stationary or locomotive, has
a particular tone of its own. The en-
Rineer becomes accustomed to that
and any departure from 1t at once eX-
cites suspicion that all is not right.
The engineer may not know what is
the matter; he may have no ear for
music. but the change in the tone of
his machine will be at once perceptible
and, being instantly recognized, will

what like" which is their way of say
ins. IF | don't like it right off don't

Such an attitude of mind cuts one
of from growth and development, for
it is as much as to say, Il am very

Indifferent To The experiences and feel

feeling ana experience of another man
which Il picture gives us. IL YOU con
slider Il moment you will understand
why. The world itself ia Il vast pano-
