STRANGE SEA TALE.

A strange tale of the sea was given
by the captain of the British steamer
Kilburn, which arrived at Yokohama
on October 4. When the ship, laden
with coal, was passing down the Red
Sea on her way to Japan, she went
ashore on the Arabian coast, where
she was ransacked by about 800
Arabian pirates. They made away
with the personal belongings of the
crew, the ships furniture, even some
of the portfolios, riggings, tackles
everything that was movable-after
which they took the crew captive, ex-
cept the captain, of whom they de-
manded a heavy ransom. The cap
tain, to save his head, parted with
about $500. Later a few of the Brit
ish sailors escaped from the pirates
and applied for protection to the
Turkish government, which eventual.
ly conducted them to place of safe.
ty. Subsequently the Turkish gov.
ernment dispatched a warship to the
scene of the wreck, but the pirates
had long since deserted the place.

mark of favor.
In thinking of the couple-and
how few of us know them as more
than shadowy names--we are apt in
fancy to mold them into cold and
austere beings; but they were not so.
No man of the Revolution contracted
firmer friendships than Washington
did, and as for his Martha, her natur-
ally warm heart was always going
out to some one in secret. To that
motherless young officer Alexander
Hamilton she became so devoted that
the Tory scribblers designated him
as her yellow tom-cat," and take,
for instance, their mutual affection
for the little son of Tobias Lehr. 1t

they had no liking for children, but

Washington either educated or adopt

and kin. Perhaps in his whole career
there Is nothing more touching than
the picture drawn OF him by Dumas
on the evening of their visit to the
town of Providence:
ave arrived there ut night; the
whole Of the population had as
sembled from the suburbs; we were
surrounded by crowd of children
carrying torches, relteratlng the ac-
clamatlons of the citizens; all were
eager to approach the person of him
whom they called their father, and
pressed so closely around us that they
hlndered us from proceeding. Gen
eral Washington was very much
affected, stopped few moments, and
pressing my hand, said We may
be beaten by the English-it Is the
chance of war-but behold an army
which they can never conquer!'
And as for Martha Washington, she
will always stand first as wife and
mother, although her name Is high
on the list of notable American
women Very few of her letters are
extant, and very few of her speeches
have been recorded Although she
followed her handsome Virginia col
onel up the most difficult slopes, she
sometimes rebeled at being what she
called "a prisoner of state" The
great Joy of her declining years was
her grandchildren. Eleanor Parke
Custis and George Washington Parke
Custls were practically brought up by
her. Perhaps she shut her eyes some
times and pretended that they were
little Patsy and Jacky. We find
Washington writing to the boy as

his eyes and dreaming of JOY

stress we picture him in the home

where traditions have been garnered
and kept as fragrant as the rose

century Waterford glass that adorn

ton Is vital memory. 1t Is related
that friends followed her rise on the
arm of Washington with rounded and
expectant eyes. Would she change

her summer visits to Mount Vernon?
They had known her, simple South

ruling. From the great coach as 1t

to them, and when she tripped down
It's side steps it was to fall into their

was not to this mansion as 1t now
stands that George Washington
brought the admirable woman whom
he married. Then the mansion was
but two stories in height, with four
rooms on each floor. Washington,
who was fond of visiting here, in
herite1 this place from his step
brother, Lawrence Washington.
Now approaching visitors are told
when they set foot within the limit
of the 5000 acres which were owned
by George Washington, who himself
described this estate as lin a high,
healthy country, in latitude between
the extremes Of heat and cold, on
one of the finest rivers in the world
a river well stocked with various
fish at all seasons of the year, and
in the spring with shad, herring, bass,
carp, sturgeon, etc, in abundance.
The borders of the estate are washed
by more than ten miles of tidewater;
several valuable fisheries appertain
to it," .,~
When at length Washington had
taken a tisfai, affecting and affection
ate leave of his officers" other for
malities being over, he prepared to
settle down to delightful domesticity
at Mount Vernon, he found that
quietude was not for him. Seeing
he had underrated his importance, he
yielded to the inevitable and straight
way planned to enlarge their dwell
ing, every line of it being approved
by Mrs. Washington. There's the
hall through the centre, with a splen-
did staircase. Opening out of it at
the north are the west parlor and the
music room. Beyond them is the
state dining room, running the length
OF the north end of the house, and
quite corresponding to the east room
at the White House in Washington,
ID. G. From the south of the hall
open the charming dining room Ca
west room) and the sitting room.
Like the music room, it looks out
upon the river. Beyond these, at the
extreme soutn, is Washington'S IL
brary (though some authorities Say
he had none and cared little for
books). By private stairway he
could go up to his bed chamber
above, fine room, with two south
windows and two dressing rooms.
After the custom, this room was
closed upon his death, and his widow
removed to the attic room directly
above, and from the dormer window
of which she could see his tomb And
there she died.

guished himself by selling tempt

turn in the great fireplace, and, in
spite of the attack of tongs and
pokers, bearing it off to his kennel.
The General and the guests thought
it amusing, but Martha Washington
did not feel safe in her capacity as
hostess until the hounds had been
disposed of, and the splendid slopes,
amid which is the simple but digniiied
tomb of herself and our first Presi-
dent, were stocked with beautiful
deer.

To Jacky, Washington sent the

Boy who Spoke "Georgc Washington. "

Once | knew a little boy five years
old who stood up before a lot of folks
in a great big hall and spoke a piece.
His uncle made it up for him. 1t
was the night of Washington's birth
day, so you see it had to be about
George Washington.
The little boy was so small that n
man had to lift him up on the stage.
Then, when he stood there and saw
all the folks he felt frightened, they
all made such noise clapping their
Hands. But just then he remem-
bered his piece and spoke 1t. This
was it:
Now don't begin to clap
When | begin to speak,
For I'm little chap,
And rather lack the cheek
I'm not as old as Washington,
When at his mothers knee
He said what he had done,
Said he'd cut the cherry tree.
Said he cut it with his hatchet,
And when his mother heard,
Guess he thought he'd catch it,
But she never said a word.

What Washington Might Tell.

George Washington, if he had sur
vivcd, would have been a hundred
and seventy-six years old this year,
and might have been able to tell us
which of the various portraits of him
was likeness. If he were as lacking
in vanity as Cromwell, he certainly
would not select the Gilbert Stuart
portrait, for that is admittedly some
what idealized.

BREAKING IN A RHINocERos.

BREAKING IN A RHINOCEROS.
There Is an old story about a man
who had to have his arm amputated,
and began by cutting of his fingers
and then his hand, in order to get
used to 1t before undertaking the
larger job: 1t does not sound histori-
cally accurate, and may have grown
up from n tale narrated by Richard
Bell about a rhlnoceros which was
"broken in" to having his horn sawed
off.
This animal, which lived in the
london Zoo, was troubled by its
horn, which grew down in front OF
its mouth, so that only with difficulty
could It eat or drink. To save its life
the keeper decided on amputation.
The horn OF the rhinoceros is not
horn at all, but an accumulation Of
hair and skin which has hardened
and become cemented together by
some gummy substances. The owner
Of this one had very touchy temper
and was not easily approached. It's
keeper, however, decided to try what
he could do.
For some days 1t required all his
skill to persuade the beast to come
to the front Of the cage and put its
horn through. Then for some days
he stroked the horn-much to the
animals disgust at first, although
later it seemed to like 1t. When it
found he meant no harm It let him
take the horn in his left hand, and
then with the right initiate the mo-
ton of a saw across 1t.
When this had been done some
time, and the rhinoceros no longer
minded it, piece Of wood was held
in the right hand, and at last, when
ever this no longer worried the ami
NAL, a real saw was brought in and
the horn cut off-without the slight
est remonstrance from the owner Of
it.-Youth's Companion.
