A BOY CAPTAIN.
Stricken Shipflnto Por't.
With death walking the deck; by his
side, short handed, ofiicérs dead or dis—
abled with ‘fever, through seven weeks
of disaster, danger and fear, a boy of
sixteen years of age performed an act
requiring rare force of will and char-
acter in the south seas recently. His
name was William Shotton and he is
the son of ‘an English sailor. ' .
_ The Trafalgar, his shin, a four mast-
ed bark of 1,700 tons, sailed from Ba-
tavia with a ,cargo of petroleum for
Melbourne, Australia. Fever broke
out among the crew even before the
ship left port, and Captain. Edgar was
invalided. The command devolved
upon the next in authority, Mr. Bob-
erts. But scarcely had the ship weigh-
ed anchor, when he, too, was stricken,
together with several other able bodied
members of the crew. The ship car-
penter next succumbed to the fever,
and on the same day Officer Roberts
leaped overboard in delirium. The
volved upon Shotton. Luckily for all
concerned, he was born of a race of
sailors and had received some instruc—
tion in navigation.
For a time the winds were moderate,
lout the fever still pursued its deadly
course, and on December 7 the cook
iied, the sixth victim of the disease.
Port Fairy, Australia, was the first
alace sighted on the mainland, but this
was by no means the end of the boy
captain’s troubles. A few days later a
iearful storm brOke out, and Shotton
was of the opinion that nothing could
as done but run before it, since to at-
;empt to withstand it would almost
:ertainly mean destruction in the
weakened state of the crew. All of the
irew who were half fit for duty were
irdered on deck and the necessary
iteps were taken to put the ship in
irder to carry out the decision. Day
ind night the young captain was on
he bridge, giving his orders amid the
iwful tempest with a coolness and
:almness which would have moved
nany a gray haired skipper to envy.
{finally the wind moderated and the
{essel was able to resume its journey
.o the Victoria coast—New York ner-

HOW LEAD PENCILS ARE MADE.
in Lead Used in Their Ilquul'acturc. but
the Name Clings to Them.
Once pieces of lead were used for
narking and we continue to use the
.vord, though lead is no longer a part
if our pencils.
“I have to laugh at the queer ideas
:omevpeople'have about pencils," said
i. manufacturer. “You will scarcely
whom it, but the Opinions of people
who know nothing about it seem to be
livided between the melting of the
ead and pouring .it into ‘the hole in
.he wood and cutting out the lead to
it the hole. Thepartfthat goesinto
Tor-pencils other than the lead is ce-
lar, and comes from the swamps of
Tlorida. It is obtained from the fall-
en trees that liethere. There are men
.here who make a' business of supply-
ng to pencil manufacturers this cedar
11 blocks- w-hich~~are' sawed to
ength of the pencil, some thick, to re
:eive the lead, and others thin, for the
.aining the lead. " The blocks" are
sawed for four pencils each. The
groove is made by a saw, and in this
he lead lies. »
“I know,” continued the manufac—
urer, “that not one out of ten thous-
‘md' persons has the least idea of what
his lead is. See, here is a fine black
iowder; that is graphite, and costs
tomewhere about twenty-five cents a
mund. This white substance is Ger—
nan clay. It comes across the ocean
.s ballast in vessels, and all it costs
is is for freight. 'We mix clay and
Iowder together and grind them in a
hill, moistening the mass carefully
luring the process, until the 'two are
.horoughly assimilated and reduced to
i paste that is about‘the consistency
of putty. Here are the dies for the
cans, into which we press this paste

Fill a, bottle or "common glass with
urine and let ,it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it isevidence
of kidney trouble. -Too frequent desire;
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order. -
WHAT TO DO. .
. There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. ilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability . to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or. bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands'the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
centsand one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail. Mention THE GAZETTE,
