M THE SOUTH SEA

bound, has been established a chain of flood sheds" as the sailors call them, from which a stranded, starv- ing crew may obtain provisions to prolong life until they can be taken aboard passing ship. In galvanized iron houses, about 15 feet wide and 20 feet long, are stored timed meat, biscuits, cocoa, tea, flour, matches, candles, lamps, kerosene, axes, fish ing tackle, blankets, clothing, cloth, needles, cotton and many more things likely to prove of service to ship wrecked crew. In each one of these sheds may also be found a good, sea worthy, decked boat. fitted with sails, oars, compass and chart, giving the course to the Bluff Lighthouse, the nearest point on the New Zealand coast. The islands which are now sup piled with these relief depots are the Antipodes, Auckland, Enderby and Campbell islands, which belong to New Zealand, and the Macquaries, be- longing to Tasmania.
 The New Zealand government erect ed these StOrehouSeS ana Keeps them stocked. Once each year the govern ment steamer Hinemoa visits the islands to repair the sheds in case they should have been damaged by storm and to overhaul the stores of provisions. And on almost every cruise the Hinemoa rescues some stranded crew.
 Before relief depots were estab- lished On these far distant islands many luckless mariner perished on their inhospitable shores. On Ender- by Island may be found a cemetery where the castaways of half dozen vessels are buried. Several of the headboards bear this significant in- scription: Died of starvation"

Then came the affair which nearly brought about international complica- tions. Only Miss Deacon's natural good sense saved the day. The Ger man emperor, who wished his eldest son, heir to the throne, to see some thing in English life, graciously con- sented that Prince Fritz should pay a visit to Blenheim palace, the regal home of the duke of Marlborough and his American bride, once Consuelo Vanderbilt. The duchess, who wanted to make his stay as pleasant as pos sible, invited Miss Deacon to meet him. The prince, always susceptible to feminine charms, had already seen and admired her on the continent. Amid the congenial surroundings of the English country life their former acquaintance ripened rapidly. The prince so far forgot himself as to fall desperately in love, though well he knew that he must marry royalty to inherit the kaiser's throne.
 Could Not Share Throne.
 He immediately proposed. Miss Deacon knew very well that the best the prince could offer her was a mor- ganatic marriage, and she rejected his

PROVISION WHICH IS MADE FOR
 CREWS OF WRECKED SHIPS.
Food Sheds" Which Have Been Placed on Remote Islands and How They Have Saved Many
 Helpless Mariner.

The recent rescue of 15 castaways from the wrecked barkentine Dundon- aid illustrates anew the value of the relief depots maintained in the far southern seas for the benefit of ma rooned mariners. The Dundonald, with crew of 27, went to pieces on the rocks off Disappointment Island, about 200 miles south of New Zealand, on March z, 1907. Twelve were lost, and the 15 survivors sustained themselves Sor eight months and through a severe winter, buoyed up with the hope of reaching Auckland Island, only five miles distant, where they knew that ample supplies of food and a seawor- thy boat stored.
 In the meantime they managed to subsist on mollyhawks and seal meat, cooked over a fire which they never allowed to go out, as fewer matches than men had been saved. When spring came determined efforts were made to reach Auckland Island in roughly constructed boats. Two of these frail craft were smashed, but a third attempt was successful in land ing a small party, who found the re- lief depot and the boat, by means of which they were able to convey their mates to bountiful stores of food A month later the government steamer Hinemoa, stopping at the island on its annual trip, brought the 15 Robinson Crusoes to New Zealand.
 The saving of the lives of these sail ors was accomplished through the agency of a peculiar system of char ity which is kept up in that region of almost perpetual bliZZards on various islands lying from 200 to 700 miles south of New Zealand and only a few hundred miles north of perpetual ice On those remote shores, rocky, sterile, storm

and her son, Van Leer Polk, to Italy to live. It was in Rome that Antoi- nette Polk met Baron de Charette, then serving at the vatican. The inn questionable Italians had already hailed the fair American as the most beautiful woman who had ever come to their shores, and the Baron de Charette agreed with them. He laid siege to Miss Folks heart, won her and brought her home to Paris as his bride
 One son was born, Antoine. From his mother the young man inherits splendid plantations in Tennessee and from his paternal side some of the greatest art treasures in France. Among them is a portrait of Queen Marie Antoinette by Mme. Viego le Brun, given by the queen to the Duchess de Choiseul, now coming in direct succession to the young baron, fourth in line.
 The wedding takes place at the fashionable season in Paris and will be one of the social events of the year. And then the matchmakers can | no longer play fast and loose with l Gladys Deacon's heart and hand.

cons unerring bullet sought him out.
 The indignant husband was arrest ed, fined and imprisoned for a brief period. Mrs. Deacon resumed her maiden name and became Mrs. Bald win. Eventually Mir. Deacon lost his mind and died in a sanitarium at Way erly, Mass.
 Of course there were squabbles about the children, and finally little Gladys was sent to a convent There, shielded from the outside, she grew up in utter ignorance of the tragedy at Cannes and the scandal that followed upon it's heels. She did not learn of it until she had grown up and been launched in society abroad.
 Fitted for Society.
 The nuns had done well with Gladys Deacons inborn vivacity. cleverness and tact. She was turned out thor oughly French; in time she became perfectly Parisienne.
 The Deacons had plenty of money.

Sunday School Lessons for the World

Sunday School Lessons for the World
 A power greater than that of kings seems to have been wielded by the little group of thoughtful men who gathered at the Fenway residence of w. N. Hartshorn to select the les sons for the Sunday schools of the world, says the Boston Herald Every year they gather to make this choice, and when a decision has been reached the lessons are handed out to the printers and by them literally scat tered over the planet. The word thus goes forth not in one but in scores of languages. Europe and Africa, east and west, north and south, get these helps to religious study in the vernac- ular. There is a supply for Hawaii, Japan and the islands of the sea- For India alone 40 dialects have to be pro vided for. Some 500,O00,000 Sunday school leaflets are thus distributed every year.

suit. Thereupon the gallant emper- or-to-be offered to renounce his rights of succession and to leave Germany forever, if need be, in order to marry Miss Deacon on terms of equality. Of course the kaiser got wind of what was going on.
 The young lover was promptly or dered back to Berlin There a stormy interview took place. At first the prince bravely stuck to his guns But when the emperor threatened to lock up his eldest son in fortress the heir capitulated.
 To-day the crown prince is happily married to a wife of his fathers choice and is a proud papa to boot.
 A year went by and the chance of society threw Miss Deacon and the duke of Norfolk together, The duke, a scholarly man well over 50, heredi- tary earl marshal of England, a wid- over and without a son who was men, tally fit to inherit his vast fortune estates and the premier dukedom with it's privileges at court, became inn mensely interested in the brilliant American girl.
 His sister, Lady Mary Howard, in- vited Miss Deacon to visit Arundel Castle, Norfolks ancestral home, and rumors began cropping out every where that it would end in Miss Dea- cons wearing the strawberry leaves of a duchess. By reason of Norfolk's ancient lineage she would take pre- cedence of every other peeress. But Miss Deacon refused the duke and that was the end of it.
 Prince Charming Arrives.
 Two years later Lord Brooke, son and heir of the earl of Warwick, came on the scene He was young, good looking, not rich, but had influence at court through his mother. People really believed that Miss Deacon had lost her heart at last, but it was false alarm.
 And then-Baron Antoine de Char ettei
 Amiable, good looking, very rich, possessed of important position and scion of one of the proudest families in France, the young nobleman is one of the most desirable partis in Flu rope.
 There is good American blood in the young baron. His mother was Miss Antoinette Polk of Tennessee, niece of President James K. Polk After the civil war Mrs. Polk took her two daughters, Antoinette and Rebecca,

Admiral Baldwin was the richest of ficer in the navy, and when he died splendid inheritance went to Mrs. Deacon, or Mrs. Baldwin, as she pre- ferred to be called. Married when IT years old, she was barely 34 when the scandal came; she was even more beautiful as Mrs. Deacon than she had been as Florence Baldwin, the bride of Edward Parker Deacon, the re- served, awkward man of 40
 Europe took up the daughter Gladys as it had taken up the mother a decade before. Aristocratic society welcomed her in every capital in Flu rope. In the Bois she was saluted as if she were princess-but then Gladys Deacon was to the manner born. She was at home in Mayfair winter she became the bright, partic- ular star along the Riviera and in Italy thoroughly cosmopolitan grew the beautiful American girl, who spoke with a strong French accent and frankly admitted that she hardly knew anything about the United States, though she was American to the core.
 Europe found everything to admire in the beautiful girl fresh from the convent.
 Gladys Deacon is the ideal Anglo Saxon type in face and coloring. Her mass of hair is the palest fiaxen, and it waves naturally Her eyes are large, rather long than round, and a deep vio- let blue. Her eyebrows are almost black, very narrow and exquisitely arched. Her eyelashes are black as well and long and sweeping.

PROBLEM HARD TO SOLVE.
MT. Gayboy Disturbed Somewhat by Variations in His Hours of Rest.

"In these later years,'' said Mr. Gay boy, T have found that I required less sleep. When I was younger I used to sleep eight hours, and frequently when I was very tired I could use nine. but there came a time a few years ago when I discovered that seven hours sleep was ordinarily all that I required.
 Now, 1 mentioned this fact, casual ly, one day, to a friend of mine, and he said that this was one of the bene- fits that came to men as they increased in years, that requiring less sleep they had more time for labor and so could accomplish more, and that this was one reason why men of maturer years were counted as of greater value.
 "A pleasant fancy, that, I thought.
 Another friend of mine said more plainly that my requiring less sleep was sign of my advancing age; that very young people, young children, re- quired great deal of sleep; that as

OLD SURGEON
Found Coffee Caused Hands to
 Erenble.

The surgeons duties require clear Judgment and steady hand. A sip or an unnecessary incision may do ir- reparable damage to the patient.
 When he found that coffee drinking caused his hands to tremble. an Ills. surgeon conscientiously gave it up and this is his story.
 For years I was a coffee drinker until my nervous system was nearly broken down, my hands trembled so could hardly write, and insomnia tor tured me at night.
 Besides, how could I safely per- form operations with unsteady hands using knives and instruments of n.e, cision? When I saw plainly the bad ehects of coffee, l decided to stop it, and three years ago I prepared some Postum, of which I had received 2 sample.
 The first cupful surprised me. It was mild, soothing, delicious At tbis tune gave some Postum to a friend Who was in a similar condition io mlne, rom the use of coffee.
 A few days after, I met him and ne was full of praise for Postum de- ciaflng he would never return to coe- lee but stick to Postum.

Her skin is fair, very white and al coloring in her cheeks, yet she bushes beautifully when she is interested But her lips are of that brilliant red which no cosmetic save perfect health can give. Her nose is pure Greek; her mouth Cupid's bow. The chin is strong and firm. Her teeth are dazzling.
 She speaks French, German and Italian with equal fiuency, and her Parisian accent when she speaks Eng fish is altogether charming. Her taste in dress is undeniable; she al ways appears in the masterpieces of the French modistes. She is perfect dancer, rattling good hand at bridge and she can play billiards with the best of the men.
 As soon as she was well launched in society, Miss Deacon began making Some of the most important people in the Faubourg St. Germain set of Paris became her intimates in London she chummed with the duchess of Marl- borough, the duchess of Devonshire, the dowager duchess of Manchester and Mrs. Arthur Paget, all of them of tremendous social advantage to Miss Deacon.
 Suitors in Plenty.
 Mrs Baldwin had Lady Somerset's house in Mayfair, London; beautiful little maison opposite the Chapel of Our Lady of Consolation, in Paris, and a villa at Versailles.
 With all these charms, it could not be doubted but that Gladys Deacon would soon have suitors enough to satisfy even the most eXacting deb- utante The first soon appeared to be precise, in 1900. He was Claude LoWther, called the handsomest man in England. Together they made a striking pair, and the matchmakers had them engaged-by rumor. But it was not to be. Gladys Deacon went her way and MT. LoWther went his. For brief period the prince of Lich- tenstein was favored; then he was dismissed.
 Next in line came Lord Francis Hope, who was even then getting his divorce from May Yohe, the one-time soubrette, who had run away with Capt Putnam Bradlee Strong, son of the late Mayor Strong of New York. But Gladys Deacon gave the noble lord, who some day may be the duke of Newcastle, his congo, and he mar ried some one else.

BADGE STAMPED MAN AS JEW.
Distinguishing Mark That Was Re
 quired by European Countries.

To the Jews of today it is fairly well known that their ancestors in Europe were forced to put up with great deal of humiliation One of the most insulting methods was to require the wearing of a badge which would stamp the wearer as an "infidel Jew" The wearing of badge was made general order throughout Christendom in the year 1915, but it must have been required in isolated places before that date.
 The most usual form of badge was that of a ring of distinctive color at tached to the upper garment. Any one of French-Jewish ancestry will know that his forebears wore ring of this sort, varying in size and in color-now red, now yellow and white, according to the whims of municipalities and monarchs. It was generally worn upon the breast, and at one time it was ordered to be worn likewise upon the

 As the wife of the duke of Nor folk she would have taken precedence of every peeress in England; as Lady Brooke or Lady Francis Hope she would have irreproachable position at court.
