STRANGE STORY OF THE SEA
Captain Tells of MutIny Near Cope
Horn which Sounds Like
Fiction.

SIDNEY, March l6.-(special)-A tale OF
a sensational sea voyage just told here is
so romantic that it is being made the
basis OF a tale of sea life by an Australian
story writer.
The incident is founded on the report
made by the captain OF the Canadian mail
steamer MoanR Of events which occurred
on the British barque Don, q vessel we'll
known in all Of the Australian ports Dur
ing the voyage from London 10 Victoria,
b. c., the crew OF the Don preached the
cargo, and thus obtaining unlimited, guam
titles OF liquor, soon became riotous and
eventually mutinous. When the Don was
or Cape Horn, hove to In rough weather,
the drunken crew attempted murder. They
seized an unfortunate Spaniard named
HOPPE whose only offense was that he re-
fused TO Join In their orgies, and we're In
the act OF throwing him overheard when
Captain Roach at the point Of a revolver
saved the mans life. For thlrty-six hours
Captain Roach sat at the forecastle door
with a six-chambered revolver in his hand,
announcing that he would shoot the first
man that again attempted to procure liquor
J from the hold Meanwhile the sailors in
/ their Intoxicated state were singing ribald
songs. shouting and fighting. During this

fortnight OF Christmas 80 far as the effect

been several weeks since society made any
serious observance OF the penitental sea-

by a dance at Chambers given under the

SHE AND ALICE LIKE SISTERS.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
 Charming. vivacious and daintily gown ed. Mrs Alice Roosevelt Longworth, ac- companied by her hubsand, held levee Friday at the Fairmount
 Ethel Barrymore, who Mrs. Longworth tells her intimates is the Queen of the stage" was the first to send up her card. Mrs. Longworth greeted her friend of years in sisterly fashion, and they chatted for an hoIr.
 Mrs. Longworth first met Miss Barry more in New York city in the days when she was enjoying the first thrills in an ticipation of Washington life and the actress was struggling toward the per lection of her histrionic art. They were close friends then and this friendship has grown stronger in the ensuing years. Today they met for the first time in more than a year.
 During part of the afternoon the Long worths toured the burned district in an automobile and expressed themselves as agreeahly surprised at the progress of the task of rehabilitation. After a run to the park. during which MT. Longworth complimented the excellent condition of the roads, subject in which he Is deeply interested, the couple returned to the hotel and made preparation for their departure for Lake county.
 They visit MT. and Mrs. Charles Ham mond there and will stay until time to board the Siberia Thursday. Mrs. Ham mond Is Mrs. Longworths aunt on her mothers side, and the time in Lake county Is to be one of quiet rest and escape from the society whrl

HOW TO CURE DYSPEPSIA.
the Metropolitan Magazine.

From the Metropolitan Magazine.
 It Is amazing that so common a diff fioulty as dypepsia should be so little understood by the general public, and that It's remedy should be so hard to find. But 1t can be cured, and without any marvellous nostrums. by observing a few important rules of health.
 The dyspeptic must first fix in his mind the fact that his ailment Is the result of bad habits of eating and liv- ing, and that these must be changed. . that drugs will do him no good He must begin by avoiding all starchy y foods, as potatoes, rice, oatmeal, beans. etc. Meats, soft boiled eggs. milk, toast sweiback, etc, are the best foods for avoiding fermentation, and the gas that causes dyspepsia pains. In serious cases buttermilk is one of the best de- pendencies; another is boiled milk with slight addition of limewater. Either of these will enable the most chronic dyspeptic to procure some sustenance without serious distress. He should drink freely of hot water at least two quarts day, always taking a glass half an hour before mealtime. He should not crowd his meals close to- geth CT, as with an impaired digestion 1t Is often best to have the meals six or seven hours or more apart. The rule to be followed Is that a new meal should not be eaten until the previous one is digested or out of the way and the stomach has had little rest, and there must be further rest after eating.
 It is absolutely essential to eat slow ly and chew with the greatest thor ough ness. Complete chewing in the mouth. permitting on washing down with coffee or tea salivates the food so that it Is ready for digestion when ence in the practice will put good flesh on any lean dyspeptic.
 There is a theory that when solid food is chewed in the mouth to an absolute pulp the organs in the back of the mouth exercise a selective ac- tion and send to the stomach only that which is fitted to be converted into blood and tissue, thus relieving the digestive organs of handling the waste. Whether or not this Is correct Is for the science of the future to determine cer- tain 1t is that nature gave us grinding teeth for the purpose of chewing our food, and never intended that we should swallow it unchewed as do those ami mals having more than one stomach

louIsiana's Anti-WeevlI Crusade

The merchants of Coushatta, La, have ordered large quantities of tur- pentine, and are selling it to the farm CTS, who believe to a man in its eff ciency as a preventive of weevil dam age. The remedy is comparatively in expensive, although 1t must be applied every ten days until the crop is made.
 The discovery of the value of tur- pentine fumes in the insect-infested cotton fields was made by Edward Bosley, a negro farmer, and at this writing he seems to have solved diff flcult problem, thereby saving in the future, perhaps, to southern farmers millions upon millions of dollars
 The simplicity of the remedy rem ders it available to every farmer. In a tub is placed gallon of turpentine for every four acres. To the turpen. tine are added three parts of water. In the solution is dipped an oat sack, whinh ia suanended from the blow

Howard College Gaininu Ground

Howard college is one of Birming- hams favorite institutions, and the proceedings of the state Baptist con vention, recently in session at Dothan, port of great denomination in this state. In the convention S4000 was quickly contributed for the purpose of establishing a department of science at Howard, and steps were taken to add a department of archives and his tory. The proposed department will be expected to collect all available in- formation touching Baptist history since 1908
 The good effects of the endowment secured by President Montague are beginning to be felt, With Dr. Montague as its executive officer and with the Baptists of Alabama behind it, How ard promises to grow as this state grows, becoming in the course of ten  years one of the greatest educational institutions in all the south. Its friends in this district hope to see it become in addition to it's classical side the chief dependence here for turning out trained scientists and engineers and mechanicians. This immediate dis trict needs technical school, and Howard can do the work more con veniently, readily and economically than any other institution in this state can hope to do it. The students of Howard are on the spot, and a few minutes ride would place any of them at the gates of any of our mines or mills.

Iapan Absorbs Korea

The worlds map is still susceptible of change, for even in these hot days The Congo, an immense territory, has been transferred to Belgium, and Ko- req has practically been annexed to Japan. The new convention between Korea and Japan transfers all power to Japan, and hereafter Korea will be as much a part of the Japanese em- pire as Hondo itself. There Is now a nominal Emperor, but the real Elm peror Is Marquis Ito, one of Japan's elder statesmen. Under the new con- vention Korea agrees that she will not enact any law or carry out any administrative measure unless 1t has the previous approval of the resident general" who Is no other than Mar quis Ito himself.
 This puts an end to all abortive at. tempts like that of dispatching Ko- rean deputation to The Hague. Korea ceases to be in order to become part of one of the most enlightened and progressive empires in the world. The curtain falls on an ancient empire but 1t will rise on new and better Korea than history has been able to present.
 This change means that Japan in- tends to build up a great army as well as great navy, for Korea is part Of the mainland and it cannot be wholly defended by ships. It means that Japan is confident she can hold her own against any Russia or Russian combination that many hereafter be formed
