difficult and dangerous passage
through the opening in the reef was
begun.
Only the captains boat reached the
shore. The mates was caught by q

and sunk Captain Nat, his second
mate and five of his men were all that
was left of the Sea Mist's company
And on that island they remained for
nearly two weeks. Provisions they
had brought ashore with them. Wa
ter they found by digging. Nat hid
the gold at night, burying 1t on the
beach below high-water mark.
Then, having made sure OF his To-
cation by consulting the chart, he de-
termtned to attempt voyage to the
second island, where he knew the
English colony to be. Provisions were
getting short, and to remain longer
where they were was to risk starva-
ton and all its horrors. So, in the
longboat, which was provided with a
sail, they started. Charts and papers

them. None Of the crew knew of the
existence of the money; it was Sc

found, to their CONSERVATION and sur

The former residents had grown tired
of their isolation and, a trading yes

the opportunity to depart for Tahiti.
Their houses We're empty, their cat
tie, sheep, goats, and fowl roamed
wild in the woods, and the fruit was
rotting on the trees. In its way the
little island was an Eyeless Eden,
flowing with milk and honey; but to

He did not have to eat it, for the

months to build her, and she was a

So, from an old pair of blue over

COMMERCIAL EDUCATION.

Speaking on the above subject
Hon. ]. c. Napier, Register Of United
States Treasurer, Washington, d. c.,
and Cashier of the One-Cent Savings
Bank said: THE development OF
the inclination on the part OF our
young people to enter the business
world is calculated to open up a field
of usefulness which is no less i'm
portant than that Of any one OF the
professions. But the idea should
not prevail that mere smattering
of education or any little supernuous
preparation will suffice for a bust
ness career. There wac time
when such a notion existed and per
haps with some reason, but that day
has passed. The demand for larger
intelligence, a cultivated mind and
foresightedness is far greater in the
business world to-day than ever be
fore. No more difficult matters
arise in any walk Of life than in tht
domains Of business and commercial
trade But to the young man ant
young woman prepared to enter there
is no better field than business TO-
opulence, influence and service" Th'
above is part Of an address deliV
cred by the Hon. j. c. Napier, regis
lister of the treasury, before Howar'
University, of which he is one OF thu
trustees. The address is reported
to have been one of the most abl'
presented during the present schoo
year.
