Sailor Risks Life In Jumping
From Ship.

Love for an old sweetheart and de-
sire to save her from a marriage ar

his life in daring attempt to escape
from the vessel.
Waiting until the dark hours of the
night Makinzono picked up a bamboo
basket, and, holding 1t over his head.
leaped from the steamer. Both guards
and ships officers heard the splash
and rushed to the spot Electric flash
lamps and the ships searchlight shot
their rays ever the waters. but all
that was discernible was a bamboo
basket bObbing aNVnd in the bay. Ap-
parently without any guidance the
basket fioated around the end of the
grain elevator and disappeared. In the
morning Mahnzono was missed, and
investigation developed the manner of
his escape

of the old Alcott homestead in Con-

Why THE OK WAS MUZZLED
Old Welsh Plewman Took Timely
Prscautlon to Save the Tall

The oxen we're harnessed tandem

there, for the true Sussex OK Is red.
They eyed me with an expression of
plaintive inquiry, and l noticed that
the rear ones moist black nose was
guarded by a string muzzls, through
which he snorted at me in a manner
hardly inviting confidence. The old
plowman smiled indulgently while I
admired them.
why do you muzzle the rear one?~
inquired.
Look at the t'other's tail an yen
see" he chuckled.
And certainly the leaders tail was
not so bushy as it 81 0uId be.
There aren't many oxen used now
for farm work?" / asked.
He shook his head. only a few,
Just here an there, mayhap," he an

Why England Believes In a Kinu.

The great majority of Englishmen
Of all grades and opinions do undoubt-
edly believe in a king, and think they
have some fairly good reasons for do
ing so.
The great reason, Of course, is that
on the whole the system works, or
seems to work, fairly well. It is very
costly. Everything included, it prob
ably costs ten times as much as the
average man thinks; and If a rate
were levied for the purpose on him,
he might feel 1t and begin to grumble.
But the money is derived from the
duchies, or voted from the taxes, and
nobody feels the pinch or even knows
the difference. 1t is a ralIying point
for all kinds of senseless anachro-
nisms and abuses. But in an old coun-
try many things have a better chance
OF continued existence by being old
than by being good, and an abuse
comes to be esteemed almost when
its hairs are gray and its years many.
1t promotes snObbery and creates
snobs, though it will not be supposed
to be unpopular on that account

Murdered for a Cent.

A quarrel over a single penny led to
a murder in Hoboken the other day.
A man from Nebraska, who stopped at
a hotel in Hoboken while awaiting the
sailing Of the steamer for Europe, put
a penny IN the slot of an automatic
music box H. the dining-room of the
hotel, but the box refused to pour
forth the expected ragtime tune. The
Nebraskan became indignant and up
braided the German porter. The lat
ter explained to him that 1t required
a nickel and not a penny to set the
mechanism of the music-box in mo-
ton, but that explanation did not sat
isfy the man from Nebraska. He be-
came abusive and when the porter
threatened to put him out, he pulled
a revolver from his pocket and shot
the porter dead.

CHlNA'S GRAND CANAL.
Al Times 1t Holds Water Enough to

News remarks: The junction OF the
reM canal with the Wei river vas not
by means OF boek, but simply high
and Ebeepfy sioping mud bank, over
which the grain vessels had b be
dragged By the force Of perhaps many
hundReds OF men. It should be borne
in mind that In China the Iock OF a
canal Is not much more Ike our idea
Of what that name conDOtes than Il u

often serious changes OF Level, with an
uncertain and not infrequentiy a
scanty supply Of water, and with a
grain feet which travelled In blocks OF
some eighty vessels under one officer,
It was necessary to devise some way
for keeping them together and for
transferring them as a consolidated
unit with this in view.
For this reason a Chinese lock on
the Grand canal Is nothing but a stone
gateway into which large boards may
be lowered through a groove In the
stones, restraining most Of the water
from It's flow, until there Is a depth
sufficient to float all the craft, when
the boards are pulled up and the en-
ttFe feet passes through
After this the boards are again
lowered for another division OF the

Man an Aquatic Animal.

Every moderately well-educated per-
son knows that life originated In the
water, but not so many are aware that
we are still aquatic animals. Every
cell except those of the outside skin
is dependent upon a surrounding
liquid to keep 1t alive, and If 1t be-
came dry 1t would perish. A person
who realizes this fact will always take
care to drink plenty Of water, and win
also eat plenty Of fruit and vegetables.
since these contain large quantities of
water, and that in purer form than
is usually available. The pickaninny
shows his good sense when he feasts
upon the juicy watermelon, and In
stead of Iidiculing him We might bet
ter go and do likewise.

conversation with the musician, and
asked him If he would medically ex-
anime his little girl who was with him
on the boat

Ten minutes later, he overheard the
passenger say, in the smokingroom:
