So many lives are lost each season on

it carries enough life-saving buoys or
cushions to float all on board In case of

Second-Do not go out in sail-boat
except with a skipper of experience.
Many boadload is upset through the
mistaken idea, prevalent at summer re-
lsorts, that any one can handle a small
sail-bat. In case Of fatal accident; the
guilty, incompetent skipper should get
ten years Imprisonment at hard labor.
Third-In case of a. party. in a row

fore leaving shore, particularly if there
are girls. Permit no one to attempt to

THE BAsHFuL MANS ORDEAL.

THE BASHFUL MANS ORDEAL.
1t was diffident Mr.. 8Doddss one oppor-
ltunity to hear famous preacher in an
lequally famous church, 50, although he
| knew that he should be Obliged to leave
| the place shortly before 10 o'clock in
order to catch his train, ne decided to
hear as much as possible of the service.
The usher ignored the visitors whis-
lpered plea for an inconspicuous seat
| and proceeded to rscort him up the
broad centre aisle which tinid Mr..
Dodd remembered ever afterward as
being about four miles long--to a seat
only three rows from the front.
Long before time for the sermon poor
Mr.. Dodd began to nerve himself for the
Hong trip down the aisle.
1t was ~ o'clock and the sermon was
well under way before the troubled
listener finally managed to summon
sufficient courage to make a start. Ris-
ling cautiously In his feet, he faced the
congregation and began to tip-toe down
1.-THE aisle. Before he had taken three
his left shoe was creaking with an orn-
linous creak that increased in volume
with every step, to the. visible amuse-
ment Of the congregation.
His countenance became suffused with
bushes. It was not a warm day, but
by the time Mr. Dodd had reached the
door perspiratton stood In beads on his
forehead and his collar showed Signs az
whiting. AS the door closed behind him
he gave a long sigh Of relief and UNI
burdened himself to loiterer in the
lvestibule.

Imopped his crimson brow, wouldn't do
that again for s5.'
But he had to do 1t for less than that.
The very next moment the color re-
coded from his countenance and he
turned pale green
BY Jove!" he groamed, I've got to

Employed, Too, Many Other Contrt-
vances Considered Modern Inven-
tions.
The first knife was, Of course, flint
flake, and the earliest spoon a shell, to
which primitive man learned in the
course of ages to fasten a handle Of
wood.
Such articles as these, together with
hammers, axes and needles. are easily
recognized as having come down to us
direct from sayagery. 1t is, however,
more startling to find that such a COM
paratively modern invention as the lift
has been used for ages by tribes whom
we designate as savage. The applica-
ton of the principle of the modern ver-
tical lift may be seen to-day among the
bee-hunters OF the Island of Timor.
To get at a honeycomb seventy feet
overhead with nothing between it and
the ground but a smooth and branch
less trunk seems at first sight impossi-
BILE without ladders or ropes. 1t is a
simple matter to the Polynesian. He
cuts a few yards from the tough stem
of a creeper and forms Of it a bush rope,
with this he makes a loop around the
trunk and his body. Jerking the loop
"a little above his head, he leans back
and begins walking up, his bare feet
pressed against the trunk. Repeating
the operation, he gradually gains the
top. The whole ascent is made without
exhausting use OF muscle by utilizing
the principle OF, friction,
Cotton weaving has done more for
Great Britain within the last century
than any one other industry. The In
dams of Central and South America
have for centuries past used loom so
elaborate that ours Is, comparatively
speaking, but a slight improvement
upon 1t.
We should never have had the Pana-
ma hat but for the duick-ingered In
dams of the Isthumus Of Panama.
Even to-day their secret process for
seasoning the grass blades used in
weaving these hats remains unrivalled.
Basket makers Of the same region make
baskets which viii hold water without
leaking another invention which is
quite beyond us.
Felting was invented by Polynesian
savages, and brought by the Hawaiian
natives to perfection we have never
excelled. They not only made cover
ings for their houses and baskets out
of felt, but by pounding the inner bark
Of certain trees succeeded in producing
soft and comfortable seamless garments
of this material, such as sleeveless
coats and cloaks.
Mortar was made by the people of
Tahiti when our ancestors were shiver-
ing in holes in the rocks. They dived
into the sea, brought UP great Jumps Of
coral, burned them in pits, using wood
as fuel, and mixed the lime they got in
this fashion with sharp sand and water.
With this mixture the ingenious savage
plastered the walls and roof of his
house, and a better mortar could not be
obtained.
Another purely savage invention,
which is perhaps the most familiar OBJ
jeet of modern life, is the tobacco pipe

North American Indians moulded CEN
