ROBINSON cRusoE's RESCUE.
Actual Facts of selklrk's Return to
Scotland ard to Civilized Life.


Scotland and to Civilized Life.
1t was only after Sell1irk had watch.
ed from his familiar lookout, in fair
weather and foul, for more than four
years that he was finally rewarded by
the sight of his old ship. When Cap
tain Dampier landed upon the beach,
Selkirk was already standing Oh the
edge Of the forest, waving white
flag. In honor of the visit, he wore
his last shirt, which he had carefully
kept for years for this occasion. The
captain afterward noted in his account
that Selkirk spoke in a voice which,
for all his pains, sounded scarcely hui
man. His feet had been hardened
like leather from long exposure. For
many weeks he had refused to touch
any liquor, nor had he any appetite
for civilized foods. Selkirk greeted
his old shipmates with a delight that
may be imagined, and before leaving
his island, he entertained the ships
crew in his house"
The island was visited but once by
any ship during Selkirk's long exile. A
Spanish ship once landed on the isl
and small company who caught
glimpse of Selkirk. In those days the
Spanish were the deadly enemies OF
the English, and doubtless Selkirk had
recognized the ships colors from his
lookout, and drawn his own cOnclu-
sions In the story of Crusoe, it will
be remembered, Defoe makes much Of
this visit of the Spanish, and has them
PROSTATE themseles before CrusOe as
the governor of the island" AS a
matter of fact, however, Crusoe Cor
Selkirk) played a much less dignifed
part than Defoe would have us be-
lieve. The Spanish shot at and
chased him for some distance without
success. A bulldog which they had
brought ashore was pressed into SER
vice; but Selkirk, from his long train
ing with the goats, outran the bulldog.
Growing tired of the chase Selkirk
finally climbed tree. The Spanish
built a fire and camped near his hid
ing place, but finally left without dis.
covering him.
The solitude and many hardships OF
this lonely life would doubtless have
driven most men crazy. Sellirk, how
ever, kept his wit throughout it all,
and when he finally returned to Scot
land, after an absence of eight years,
was able to take up his old life where
he had dropped it, and, despite his bar.
barous life, was still a civilized man.
From Francis Arnold Collins Robin
son Crusoe's Island, in st. Nicholas.

"Women's voices" says the London
Graphic, "are no longer low and sweet.
Whether in trains, omnibuses, clubs,
hotels or theatres, women talk loudly
and shrilly. They can be heard at the
other end of the room, and the domes-
tic concerns of a purely personal ma
ture are being constantly overheard.
The tones of the voice, too, are GER
tainly deeper and gruffer." We are
glad to hear that the English ladies'
are losing their drawing-room voices.
Until recently most of the ladies of
England, and particularly of London,
found speech exceedingly difficult ow-
ing to the excruciating tightness of
fashions stays. Possibly the change
which, apparently, has distressed the
Graphic, is due to the advent Of COM
nonsense fashions and to that de-
lightful being commonly called the
outdoor girl. A woman who plays
golf rows, rides, swims and lives
largely in the open air is bonnd to
breathe, and breathing deepens the
voice and gives it power. Here in
America we have feminine voices that
do not stop at "the other end Of the
room" they can be heard at the other
end of the golf links, and there is
nothing shrill or harsh about them,
either. In fact, abundant testimony
may be had that they are rich and
musical. Our American girls find lung
culture beneficial to the voice, to the
complexion, and to the general health.

DOES ITS WORK WELL
Every Farmer Speaks Highly OF the
Michigan Five-Horse.

This gasoline engine, the favorite
OF our Michigan farmers, is one Of
the greatest helps to the tiller of the
soil that he can secure. 1t is made
so perfectly and IS so simple in con-
struction that it does its work in first
class style, gives no trouble at all,
and costs next TO nothing 10 run. The
Michigan Five-Horse weighs about
1000 lbs, is electric ignited, and is
fitted with dry batteries, switches,
etc. The oil can be held in the cast
iron base, or served from separate
tank as desired. For feed cutting,
grinding, saving, deep well-pumping,
etc, no other engine in the world
can surpass it, The constantly ex-
tending use of gasoline engines on the
farm is a proof of their convenience
and profit TO the farmer. and in Sc
lecting an engine we have no hesita-
ton in recommending the Michigan
Five-Horse for first choice. Other
models Of less power, pump Jacks,
etc, made by the National ENGINEER
ing Co., Saginaw. w. S.. Mich. are
equally well built and effective for
heir uses. The company's illustrated
booklet describes them, and every
farmer should write for free copy.
