SAILOR TELLS OF HARDsHIPs
Have Good Reason to Dread around
ina the Horn"


ing the Horn"
Sailing ship life is the hardest OF
;all," said the first officer Of liner
~ lived on sailing ships till two years
ago.
"Once we were 1876 days in sailing
from Liverpool to Frisco. 1t took
eight weeks to round the Horn-eight
weeks of snow and hail and icy winds.
Night after night we sailors, turning
in, took off our soaking underclothes,
wrung the water out of them, and
then slept with them under our pill
lows, so that, when we came to put
them on in the morning, they would
be warm.
Sometimes we would spend five
hours aloft trying to reef one sail
IA sail frozen SO stiff, SO boardlike,
that it would be impossible to make
"a wrinkle in it.
Handling these wet and frozen
sails and ropes, our hands split.
These cracks, which would not heal,
are called sea cuts They are a

SouIe's East Boston Senator

Ex-President Soule of the Massachu

story about young Irish member u
the senate from East Boston, who
during debate in that body on the
East Boston grade crossing question
took the floor and argued very ener.
getically in favor of abolishing the
crossing. The senator was more
ready with his utterances than with .
proper construction of sentences. III

claimed:
"Why, Mr.. President, there are PEG

have been killed over and over again

An EngIishman's Testimony, Showing

When Great Britain took Wei-Hai-

sued her usual policy and organized
company of native soldiers, with
British officers in command, says
Mary Porter Gamewell. in The Chau-
tauquan. When the allies met the
Chinese imperisl army in hard-fought
battles around Tientsin and finally
stormed and took the city in the sum-
mer Of 1900, preparatory to the
march on Picking, the Chinese troops,
differed by British gentlemen, fought
shoulder to shoulder with the Brit
ish.
The fight over, one day some ono
talking carelessly made the usuai
claim that the Chinese are towards.
whereupon an officer, who had LED
that valiant band of British.uniform-
ed Chinese, spoke for his men with
all the ardor of British love OF fair
play. He said:
II hold that when men follow their
leaders up a bullet-swept street, ana
right over the very barricades from
which the bullets are pouring, they
are no towards; and that is what our
Chinese troops in British Uniform
did !"

Relief for Earache.

Earache is one of the most distress
Ing ailments of childhood. Heat, per
haps, gives as much relief as any ap
plication. The ear may be gently
filed with water as hot as can be
borne, poured in with teaspoon
The child should lie with the affected
ear uppermost and after short time
turn on that side and let the water
run out. Sometimes a small mus
tard plaster behind the ear stops the
pain. 1t should be left on only few
minutes.
