The Night Watches at Sea
By CAPT. A. t. MAHAN. U. S. N.

How much watch offered to an
eye that loved nature! l have been
bored so often by descriptions of
scenery, that l am warned to put
here a sharp check on my memory,
lest 1t run away with me. and my
readers seek escape by falling off. 1
will forbear, therefore, any attempt
at portraiture, and merely mention
the superb aurora borealis which IL
Illuminated several nights of the au-
tumn OF 1859, perceptibly affecting
the brightness of the atmosphere,
while We lay becalmed little north
of the tropics. But other things l
shall have some excuse for telling;
because what my eyes used to see
then few mortal eyes will see again.
Travel will not reach here; for
though here and there a rare sailing
ship is kept in the navy, for occa-
sional instruction, otherwise they
have passed away forever; and the
exceptions are but curiosities-real-
ity has disappeared. They no longer
have life, and are now but the speci-
mems of the museum. The beauties
of a brilliant night at sea, whether
starlit or moonlit, the solemn, awe
inspiring gloom and silence of
clouded, threatening sky, as the
steamer with dull thud moves at mid
might over the waste of waters,
these need not describe; many there
are that see them in these rambling
days. These eternities of the heav-
ems and the deep abide as before,
are common to the steamer as to the
sailing ship; but what weary strain
of words can restore to Imagination
the beautiful living creature which
leaped under our feet and spread her
wings above us? For a sailing ship
was more inspiring from within than
from without, especially snip of
war, which, as usually ordered, per-
mitted no slovenliness, abounded in
the perpetual seemliness that en-
hances beauty yet takes naught from
grace. Viewed from without, unde-
niably a ship under sail possesses
attraction; but 1t is from within that
YOU feel the very pulse of the ma
chine" No canvas looks so lofty,
speaks so eloquently, as that seen
from it's own deck, and this chiefly
has invested the sailing vessel with
its poetry. This the steamer, with
its vulgar appeal to physical COM
fort, cannot give.-Harpers Weekly.

A Lucrative Nose.

Mile. Lubia Behrend, one of St.
Petersburg's most popular actresses,
adds SIS week to her income by de-
voting an hour or two a day to SMELL
ing the perfumes manufactured by a
leading firm of Russian scent makers.
Mile. Behrend is gifted with an ex-
ceedingly delicate sense Of smell,
which renders her assistance invalu-
able when determining the proper
proportions of the various ingredients
in a new perfume.
Much of Queen Alexandra's favor

and it has to run the gauntlet of Mile.

twenty, twenty-five and fifty inches.
The highest pressure hitherto used
in any organ has been twenty-six
inches, and the pressure on the aver
age church organ is only three inches.
BY means of the swell shutters it is
possible to control the immense vol
ume or tone produced by these press
ures, SO that the tuba mirabilis of
fifty-inch pressure, which at full pow
er is almost ear-spiitting, can be used
TO accompany the human voice.
The designer modestly announces
that this organ contains only eighteen
stops. Some of these, however. are
mighty ones, consisting of ninety
seven pipes ranging from thirty-two
feet to few inches in length. BY
means OF the electro-pneumatic &C.
ticn it is possible to play them on
any of the four manuals at thirty
two, sixteen, eight, four or two-foot
pitch. The touch is as light as that
OF a grand pianoforte. BY pressing
extra hard on any key it sinks anoth-
er Quarterback and the stops drawn
On another manual come into play.
This device may be used for bringing
out melody or for sforzando chords.
There are 100 sounding stop-keys
controlled by seventy-eight nlechani.
cal devices.
George L. Miller, FREQ, Eng
land, well known New York organ
ist, who is intimately acquainted with
the organs in st. Georges Hall, Liv-
erpool. England, and the Town Hall,
Sydney, Australia, hitherto accounted
the largest in the world, unhesita-
tingly afirms that the Ocean Grove
organ equals them in beauty and va
riety of tone, and surpasses them in
power. Yet it contains only 1912
pipes, as against over 5000 in each of
the others! This, through avoiding
unnecessary duplication.
A father was once Gliding his son
for taking two girls out for the day
on certain holiday occasion. Said
he: You should have taken out only
one girl and kissed her twice. 1t
would have cost you less money!"
So with this organ. The builder
has taken one diapason and given it
twice, thrice, yea, even five times the
ordinary pressure of wind, and so OBJ
tanned the effect of five rows of pipes.
And 1T has cost less money. The
Liverpool organ cost $4,000; the
Sydney organ 100000; the Ocean
Grove organ only $4,000, and the
results are better, all the solo stops
being expressive.
The organ was inaugurated on the
evening of July 8, by brilliant reci-
tai by Mark Andrews, F.A.G.O., AR.
CO., of Montclair, N. j., before an
audience of upwards of 5000 people.

Ninety-three timber wolves killed
in less than a months time is the
record made by James MacIntyre, of
Quatsino, who has presented bill 10

SHOOTS HIMSELF WITH TOE.

Cumberland Especially. = Placing
the muzzle of a single-barrel shot
gun against his breast and using his
toe to pull the trigger, George Wash
ington Coleman, aged 26 years, a
miner, committed suicide in the yard
in the rear of the residence of his
mother, at Charlestown, a suburb of
Homecoming.
The suicide was deliberately plan
ned. Coleman had removed one shoe
and cut a hole in the stocking so that
he could pull the trigger with his
toe without any trouble

Miss Margaret Rebecca Lease. No
motive can be ascertained for the
suicide.

Kites Scare Locusts.

The Molteno (Cape Colony farm
ers have hit upon novel plan for
dealing with locusts. A farmer has
imported some eagle kites for the
purpose of soaring locusts from the
crops. The announcement almost
reads like the fable of the introduc-
lion of kites into the dovecotes for
protection against the hawks, but
time alone will tell whether the effect
will be so disastrous to the South
African farmers.

TRUTHS RECORD.

II is rather interesting to go back over
the records of the last legislature and
note how our representatives voted on
platform pledges. This week we have
looked up the anti-pass bill, No 10, in
uoduced by McCracken, which was re-
publican platform pledge, and find that
alter it passed the house, Mullaley, Jones
and Vessel voting for it, it went to TIE
senate where it was kept in the commit
zee until February Is, when Senator
Nugent moved that the bill, Ia platform

ator Warren Truitt, with every other

BOOSTING FOR IDAHO.

The Evening Journal, of Washing
ton. Iowa, May IA: Joe Schloesser,
Of Troy, Idaho, is here for few days,
called by the illness Of his father,
Louis Schloesser. Mr.. Schloesser's
condition is considerably improved to-
day, however, and it is believed that
he will recover all right. Joe has been
away for three years. He is nicely To-
Gated in Troy in the printing business.
He is very much pleased with the
western country, and frankly states that
he has traded states and will not trade
back. He says that Troy" is the
biggest little town on earth. 1t is in a
very rich farming and timber country.
He will be here for week or two.
Boss Brady asserts that he would be
pleased to leave his candidacy to the
decision of the republican voters of the
state. We do not know but that the
democrats could afford to let the re-
publican rank and file pass on Bra
dy's merits in November. There are
several counties in this neck OF the
woods where the boss cannot get ma
iority Of his own party on election day.
This fact will be demonstrated in good
time. Twin Fall Times.
