"Ay, ay," said the mate, earnestly.
"And that's your mate, George said
zingall, pointing to the deeply inter-
ested Bradd.
"Ay, ay," said the mate again, with
a sigh.
Take command, then" said Zing-
all, leaving him with a satisfied air
and seating himself on the locker.
The mate sat up and looked about
him with an air of quiet authority.
George" he said, turning suddenly
to the skipper with very passable
imitation of his voice.
Sir" said the skipper, with play
full glance at Zingall.

Match Production in Brazil.

The number of boxes of matches
produced in the federal district of Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1907 was 202 OIL
400, of which 1S9,55O,OO were wood
and 12,4S2,000 wax matches. The
stamp revenue was $1,21S,3S4, or about
six-tenths of cent box. The output
is used in the district itself The
match tax alone amounts to a little
over $1.50 for each man, woman and
child The explanation for this ex-
ceedingly large consumption of
matches is in the fact that almost
every male inhabitant of the district
is a smoker and most of them smoke
cigarettes.

The crew of the Elizabeth Hopkins
sat on deck in the cleaning, gazing
idly at the dusky shapes of the barges
as they dropped silently down on the
tide, or violently discussing the iden-
tity of various steamers as they came
swiftly past. Even with these amuse-
ments the time hung heavily, and
they thought longingly of certain
cosy bars by the riverside to which
they were wont to betake themselves
in their spare time.
Tonight, in Difference to the wishes
of the skipper, wishes which approXi-
mated closely to those of royalty in
their effects, they remained on board.
A new acquaintance of his, brother
captain, who dabbled in mesmerism,
was coming to give them taste of
his quality.
81 never card the likes of it," said
one, with deep breath, as the skip
per concluded a marvellous example.
Voices sounded from the wharf, and
the night watchman appeared pilot
ing Capt Zingall to the schooner The
crew noticed that he came aboard
quite like any other man, descending
the ladder with even more care than
usual.
At first he was not very successful.
The men stared at the discs he put
into their hands until their eyes
ached, but for some time without eff
feet. Bill was the first to yield, and
to the astonishment of his friends
passed into a soft magnetic slumber,
from which he emerged to perform
the usual idiotic tricks peculiar to
mesmerized subjects.
IT'S wonderful what power you ave
over EN-" said Capt. Bradd, respect
fully.
Capt. Zingall smiled affably. "At
the present moment" he said, that
man is my unthinkin' slave, an what
ever l wish him to do he does Would
any of you like him to do anything?"
well, sir" said one of the men,
e owes me 'arf crown, an l think
it would be 'ighly interestin' expert,
ment if you could get i'm to pay me.
If anything 'ud make me believe in
mesmerism, that would"
AN he owes me eighteenpence
sir" said another seaman, eagerly.
"One at time" said the first
speaker, sharply.
An 'e's owed me five shi!lins since
/ don't know when," said the cook,
with dishonest truthfulness.
Capt Zingall turned to his sub
ject. You owe that man half a
crown" he said, pointing, that one
eighteenpence, and that one five shil-
lings. Pay them"
In the most matter-of-fact way in
the world Bill groped in his pockets,
and, producing some greasy coins,
paid the sums mentioned, to the in
tense delight of everybody.
"Well, I'm blest," said the mate,
staring. Il thought mesmerism was

all rubbish. Now bring him to again"
But don't tell i'm wot 'e's been
doin'," said the cook.
Zingall with few passes brought
his subject round, and with sub
dued air he took his place with the
others.
"Whatd it feel like, Bin?" asked
Joe. Can you remember what you
did,"
Bill shook his head.
81 should like to put you under the
influence said zingall, eying the
mate.
The mate complied and everybody
gazed spellbound at the tussle for SUI
premacy between brute force and oc
cult science. Slowly, very slowly, sci
ence triumphed. being interrupted
several tlmes by the blood-curdling
threats of Bill, as they floated down
the companion-way. Then the mate
suddenly lnrched forward. and would

for him out O. my state-room."
"Ay, ay, sir" said the amused
Bradd.
Just a little in the bottom of the
bottle IL do" continued the mate;
don't put more in, for he drinks like
a fish"
Il never said such thing, captain, "
said Bradd, in an agitated whisper. 81
never thought o such a thing"
mo, l know you wouldn't" said
Zingall, who was staring hard at a
nearly empty whisky bottle on the
table.
And don't leave your 'baccy pouch
lying about, George" continued the
mate, in a thrilling whisper.
He leaned back on the locker and
smacked his lips. There was a faint
laugh from one of the crew, and look
ing up smartly he seemed to be aware
for the first time of their presence.
What are you doin' down here?" he
roared. What do you want?"
"Nothin', sir" said the cook. "Only
we thought
Get out at once" vociferated the
mate, rising.
Stay where you are" said the skip
per, sharply.
"George!" said the mate, in the
squeaky voice in which he chose to
personate the skipper.
Bring him round, Zingall," said the
skipper, irritably I've had enough
O. this. I'll let i'm know who's who"
Still holding him with his gaze, Zin-
gall clapped his hands together, and
stepping up to him blew strongly in
his face. The mate, with a perfect
scream of rage, picked him up by the
middle, and dumping him heavily on
the floor, held him there and worried
him.
Help" cried Zingall, in smoth-
cred voice; take him Off"
"Why-don't you - bring - him
round?' painted the skipper.
Because l can't" said Zingall,
shortly. It'll have to wear off,"
Wear Off" repeated the skipper
Zingall drew himself up with lit
tie pride. well, see what I've DONE"
he said. "The fact is l was charged
full with electricity when | came
aboard, and he's got it all now. It's
left me weak, and until my will wears
off him he's captain O. this ship"
And what about me?" said Bradd.
You're the mate said Zingall,
"and mind, for your own sake, you act
up to it. If you don't cross him
haven't any doubt it'll be all right,
but if you do he'll very likely murder
you in fit of frenzy, and-he would
mt be responsible. Goodnight"
I'm going to bed, George" said the
mate, staring at him. Il feel a bit
heavy. Give me a call just afore
high water"
Where are you goin to sleep?"
demanded the skipper.
Coin to sleep?" said the mate,
why, in my state-room, to be sure"
Any idea that the skipper might
have had of the healing effects of
sleep were. rudely dispelled when the
mate came on deck next morning, and
found that they had taken the schoon-
er out without arousing him.
81 know you're a good sort, George
Smith" he said, leniently nobody
could wish for better, but while I'm
master of this here ship it don't be-
come you to take things upon yourself
in the way you do"
81 want to explain the position of
affairs to you" said the skipper. DO
you remember Capt. Zingall what was
aboard last night?"
"Eh!" said the mate, sharply.
"IIe mesmerized you. said the
skipper hastily. Now keep quite
calm. You say you're Benjamin
Bradd, master o. this vessel, don't
you?"

BAKER CITY's NEW DEPOT.
City Is Elated Over Prospects of Erec
ton of Fine New Station.

1t is now assured thate Baker City
is to have one of the finest depots In
Oregon, for the o. r. & n. company
has taken up the matter and contem-
plates expending $4,000 in erecting
I new structure for the accommoda-
ion of the patrons in this city. says
the Baker City Herald.
Some time ago when the officials
Wis ted this city a delegation from the
Citizens league and the Business
Mems association waited upon them
and offered to donate the stone for the
building If the company would erect
it, w, J. Patterson has just received
letter from Mr.. O'Brien in Portland
informing him that he had asked for
an appropriation of $4,000 for
bu lding at Baker City and with the
stone donated by the citizens, the cost
will probably total $4,000, This is
an improvement that the citizens have
been seeking for many months.
Besides probably securing the new
depot for Baker City the booster or
ganzation have just completed con-
vass in which they secured more than
$4,000 to boost Baker City and county.
This money will be spent in sending
matter descriptive of this county to
people in eastern states and many in
quiries and replies are being received
daily from the advertising which Is
being done.
The Citizens league has taken up
the offer of Portland to send float
representing this city and section of
the country and in conjunction with
the Business Mems association they
will probably send a monster gold
float to represent Baker county in the
Rose carnival in June. The citizens
of Baker are now awake to the gol-
den opportunity which is open before
us and they are taking advantage of
every means of bringing to the out
side world the advantages and Won
.derful resources of Baker county.
