CHAPTER III.
Wherein the Captain Reappears:

The fierce Kissing Of the continuous es-
cape of steam excited alarm in those not
| accustomed to machinery. Men and
women share the unreasoning panic of
animals when an unknown force reveals
it's pent-up fury. They forget that safety
valves are provided. that diminished pres
sure means less risk: the knowledge that
restraint, not freedom, is dangerous comes
ever in the guise of new discovery.
The mining engineers. of course, did not
share this delusion.
There must be something serious the
| matter, or they would not be wasting
| power like that" murmured the Ameri-
| can to one of his fellow professionals.
"A smash-up in the engine room. NADIA

The Span.ard bent little nearer What

THE HOTEL CLERK.
According to This View His Lot Is Not
Happy One.

According to This View Ills Lot Is MOT
a Happy One.
Who is the most envied and bedia-
monded among men? The hotel clerk.
Who runs away with our beiresses?
The hotel clerk. Who gets the straight
est tips on the stock market? The no.
tel clerk. Whose pride goeth not be-
fore destruction and whose glory is
never dimmed? The hotel clerks. So
runs the accepted catechism.
Now a truth seeker in Chicago rises
to say that the average hotel clerks
chance in life is trifie less than moth
ing. He can't marry, for he is COM
PEELED to live in the hotel, and his
wages won't pay his wife's board.
Even as a bachelor he finds it hard to
save money. When he reaches the
age limit-not high one-he is dis
placed by young man.
There are then three things for him.
He may become night clerk in coun-
try hotel, job that he rose from years
before; he may be put in charge of a
cloakroom and look to tips for most of
his pay or he may try to get other
work, using up his savings meanwhile,
and end his life in the almshouse Not
a cheering conception and practically
useless to the humorist. Golfers

Thackeray's Pantomime.

William Makepeace Thackeray was
always too genial, too generous, too
open handed. to be an accumulation Of
this worlds goods, and in spite Of the
large earnings of his pen he died a
poor man. Shortly before his death his
friend, John Leech, the cartoonist, call
ed upon him and found him in his
study writing writing and signing at
the monotony Of his work.
"Why don't you have holiday said
Leech, "and take your girls to the sea
side? 2"
The great novelist made no verbal
answer, but, rising slowly, plunged his
hands to the very bottom of his peck
cts, brought these receptacles out,
shook them vigorously without eliciting
rattle Of coin, replaced them and then
resumed his seat.

ATTACKING "A SYSTEM.

It Involves Attacking the Men That
Uphold the System.
On every side I hear strange insist
ence upon the fact that it is only the
system that is wrong. l hear people
utter the following extraordinary
words: eve do not attack individuals. !"
What, in the name of the seven plan
cts, can you attack except individuals
How can one fight a system? If sys-
TEN came into this room, what would
you do to it? Would you take a gun or
a fencing foil or a butterfly net or a
horsewhip or disinfectant?
A system only exists in the minds of
men, and if there is a very vile system
in the minds of men there must be
something very vile about their minds.
I do not say that they may not have
other virtues along with the qualities
that make the bad system. do not
say that the upholders Of any bad sys-
tenn are without any moral merits. ]
do not say that Italian brigands are
without any moral merits But, how
ever good or evil may be mingled in
the character of an italian brigand,
nobody ever said that in dealing with
persons Of that profession you were
not to attack individuals. Z
You do not, in dealing with brigands,
say that you merely attack the system
You attack the brigands- that is, sup.
posing that you are in possession Of
the adequate bodily courage.-C. K
Chesterton in Illustrated London News

the ARCTIC OUTLETS.
Nhat Would Happen if These loo
Channels Were Ciosed,

CnannelS Were Closed.
It is well that there are the water
gaps between the continents whose
headlands form the boundaries of the
Arctic ocean. Through Boring strait,
Bafin's bay and the huge opening be-
tween Greenland and western Europe
thousands Of cubic miles of ice are an
nually discharged which if landlocked
would long ago have so accumulated
as to have impelled cataclysms that
would probably have SO swept life
from the earth that the evolution Of
man would have been deferred indef-
nitely into the far future centuries.
Both poles are located with singular
adaptation to ease off the otherwise in
evitably too great accumulation Of lor
cal avoirdupois, which would as surely
change the earth's center of gravity as
would the hanging Of an immense
weight at some local point on the pc
riphery of balance wheel.
It is to this good fortune in present
polar locations that the world owes It's
Immunity of cataclysmal foundations
and congratulations which otherwise
must have laid down other strata to
the mausoleums that mark the resting
places of the forms that once sported
beneath us.

KEEP YOURSELF YOUNG
Exercise Every Day Even Though You
Steal the Time to Do II,

Exercise Every Day Even Though You
Steal the Time to Do It.
It is futile to try to lay down gen
eral age limits for the different kinds
of athletic sports.
The limits vary individually within
very wide marks, and if observations
made on number Of individuals of
the present generation put them very
low this does not mean that they would
be the true and desirable limits If we
had a generation whose physical edu-
cation from the beginning had been
undertaken and carried out upon plan
only one-fourth or even one-tenth as
elaborate as the plan for its mental
education, not only as far as exercise
and sport are concerned, but also in
regard to eating, drinking, clothing,
sleeping, pleasures, stimulants, ETC.,
and whose individuals were willing to
continue to live upon similar plan
after growing out of the hands of their
educators.
Live simple, natural life, take
strenuous exercise every day of your
life, even should you steal the time to
do so, and see what will become of
your personal limit for the various
kinds of sports.-New York Medical
Journal.

Indian Punishment.

Some idea Of what Baroda, India,
was in times comparatively recent
may be gathered from the following:
A hundred elephants were kept at the
expense of the state, and criminals
were executed in a most horrible man
ner. The poor wretch, tied hand and
foot, was fastened by long rope round
the waist to the elephants hind leg.
Then the animal was made to trot
through the city, and the man, at al
most every step rebounding against
stones and obstacles, soon became a
mass Of bruises and wounds and a
CHASTITY spectacle. If he survived this,
his head was placed on a block, and
the elephant crushed it with his foot.
