A DEAF AND DUMB SPY.
Sherman did not leave Chattanooga for
Atlanta without knowing all about the route
and its obstructions. His spies and scouts
passed over almost every mile of the distance,
and made full and accurate reports. I was
one of the last sent out and thejast to return,
and I had aclose shave of it. Informatian
was required which obliged me to enter the
Confederate camps and see with my own
eyes, and as two or three of our spies had
been captured and hung, and the Confeder-
ates were on the qui vive to prevent others
from penetrating their lines, I needed some-
thing more than a disguise. After canvass—
ing the matter for a while, I adopted the
the suggestion of a regimental surgeon to
play the role of. a “dummy.” I was to be
deaf and dumb, and carry pencil and paper,
and do my talking that way. He coached
me for two or three days before the start,
and when I was ready to go I had mastered
the situation. The surgeon had been assistant
superintendent in adeaf and dumb asylum
for several years, and he was peculiarly fitted
to teach me my steps.
You may reply that any one can “play deaf
and dumb’7 and deceive peOple. Yes. any
one can, up to a certain point. I was to go
beyond that point. If it was discovered that
I was not what I claimed to be my life would
pay the forfeit. I was provided with a bun-
dle of stationery, some tobacco, a lot of re-
ligious tracts, articles of cheap goods and a
few specialties, and I left the Federal out—
posts one dark and rainy evening in good
spirits. Obstructing Sherman’s advance was
the mountain barrier called Rocky Face
Ridge. The main gap, through which the
railroad and highway ran and still run, is
called Buzzard’s Roost Gap. Our scouts and
spies had reported this gap so strongly forti-
fied that Sherman felt he could not force it.
Further south is Snake Creek Gap. One of
my objects was to ascertain how this gap was
defended.
I was well within the Confederate lines be-
fore midnight, and at about that hour I
found shelter in a barn, and slept until two
hours after daylight. W'hen I turned out no
one was in sight, and I had walked fully two
miles along the highway before I met any
one. Then I encountered a party of about
thirty cavalrymen going to the front. I was
in citizen’s clothes, had a pack on my back,
and, of course, expected to be stopped. The
troop was commanded by a lieutenant, and as
he came up he ordered a bait and queried
of me:
“Who are you, and where are. you going?"
Here was the first test. The men had
gathered around me, and every one had his
eye upon me. It was a compliment to me
that one of the men called out before I had
made a sign:
“Dog gone him, he‘s a dummy!
8. face like a washboard!”
I wrote on my tablet: “What do you
want?” and the lieutenant wrote in reply:
“Who are you, and where are you going?”
I gave my name as George Smith, and
stated that I was a Confederate peddier. I
opened my bundle, presented him with some
tobacco, and several of the men made pur-
chases. The oificcr asked for my pass, and
I told him that it was taken from me three
days before by some Yankee raiders who had
captured inc. and turned me loose again.
“1Veil, they’ll overhaul him back there,
anyhow,” he said to his sergeant, and, waving
his hand to me, he gave me the order to ride
on. I was in for it now, and must push
ahead. I could see an encampment down the
road, and any attempt to flank it would cre-
ate suspicion. It was well that Iwent ahead,
for one of the cavalrymcn followed me clear
back to the sentinel on the outskirts of the
camp. He walked his horse directly behind me,
so close that the anima ’s nose almost touched
my back, but he did not catch me off my
guard. Ithn the sentinel stopped me I
handed him my name and occupation, and
in a few minutes I was in the presence of the
officer of the guard. ‘While he asked for my
pass, he did not seem suspicious. I was es-
corted to the quarters of the officer of the
day, and hero came a test, made so carelessly
that if I had not had all my wits about me I
should have been lost. As we reached the
quarters the escort said:
“Here is a deaf and dumb man who has no
pass. Capt. Harshcr ordered him here from
the guard tent.”
"All right,” replied the officer, who was not
even looking at us; and then, as the escort
started off be half turned to 1110 and said:
"Stand aside for a few minutes and I will
attend to your case.”
His tone was so careless and his order so
natural that I caught my muscles moving to
obey. Had I picked up a foot I should have
given myself away. AsI did not move. he
presently turned to me, seemed surprised
that I was there, and began to inquire about
me. I gave him the details, and while we
were passing the tablet back and forth a cap-
tain came up. The officer of the day said
to him:
"\Vc have captured a. dummy. Mighty
quccr that he should take to peddling among
The soldiers, but they are a queer lot. He
says he had a pass from Polk, but that the
Yanks gobbled it when they captured him
the other day. Do you see that blood spot
on his left cufi'?"
I was looking the officer full in the face as
he spoke. I felt that he would try some
trick, but he did it so neatly that he almost
caught me. 1 winked. but I (lid not drop my
eves.
“You must have taken him for an impos-
ior,” laughed the captain.
“We can‘t be too cautious,” was the re-
ply, and he took the tablet and wrote that I
might circulate about the camp until guard
mount and then report to the new officer of
the day.
I got- sonlo breakfast, sold out about half
my goods, and when I reported and asked
that I might pass on no objection was made.
I found troops everywhere now, and being
so far within the lines no one questioned my
right to be there. ‘1 underwent but one more
test before reaching the gap, and that I was
prepared for. The soldiers accepted me for
what I claimed to be, and while my condi-
tion excited the sympathies of some, others
were inclined to ridicule and joke. ‘While I
knelt in a group a. joker held a pistol close to
my ear and fired it off. I heard the click of
the hammer and was therefore prepared for
the report. I found the gap covered by a
weal: body, with no defenses to speak of, and
I got through them without trouble, though
my goods were now all gone, and I had to
claim that I was on my way to Dalton after
a new stock. 1 was arrested after entering
the gap, and the arrest came about through a
corporal in a battery of artillery, who at first
contended that he recognized me asadesertcr
namcd\‘.'i111um Ridges. It appeared that I
closely resembled Ridges in build and look,
but as soon as the corpora! had a. close look
at no he acknowledged his mistake. This
occurred just before dark, and the captain of
the battery, who was in command, sent me
to Gen. “'ayne, in command of some Georgia
state troops. I was not suspected of being a
Federal spy, but having been arrested on a
charge, and being found without a pass, it
was quite proper to make :1 further investi-
guiion.
There Were scvcrul oiliccrs in the general's
rent when I was taken in and reported on,
and the facts in my case had no sooner been
announced than one of them, who was a
surgeon in Hood's command, held :1 whispered
consultation with 1110 general, and I sus-
pected u. plot to 11-..1 1111*. My suspicions were
soon proved correct. The escort bud retired
and left me standing; in front of the en-
trance inside, of course, but just where I was
in the way of any one coming or going. The
whispered consultation lasted about five
minutes, and ”it'll 1111- general casually rc-

over to 1110, and slapping me on the shoulder
he exclaimed:
“Let me see your tongue!"
I had my teeth hard shut Or my faws would
have opened at the command.
“Straighten up!” was the next command.
I was humped over, and the words went
through me like :1 bullet. I did not move,
however. ,
“Take your foot off that sash l” shouted the
surgeon, but I looked from him tothe general
and showed my 195131;. , ,.

“1:Ome,‘now, but ‘y'cTn’re beaten," laughed ,

“Thutis true; but I want.- to study him a
little more. He claims to have lost his pass.
I want to ask him for more details. that
was the date?”
He turned and put this question to me, and
had I not been looking ahead for it or some-
1 thing of the kind, my mouth would have got-
away with me. His failure provoked another
laugh, and I wrote on the tablet:
“What does the officer say? Does he. believe
I am a desertcr?"
“He says you are deceiving us.”
“I have it hard enough now, without being
looked upon with ridicule or suspicion,” I
wrote, and the general nodded his head to rue
and said to the surgeon:
“I won’t keep him longer than needle-mor- I
row. The poor cuss has a hard row to hoe,
and I don’t want to discourage him.”
The guard was called, and I was removed
to the guard house, which was a log structure
and quite comfortable. It held a prisoner,
and 1 had no doubt that he had been placed
there for a purpose. As soon .1151 the door
was shut behind me, he came forrmrd and
took my hand and said:
“Ab! and they have got you, tool
us must die together i”
I signed to him thatI was a deaf mute, but
he replied:
“Come, no nonsense with me. I know you,
and you will soon know me. I- have seen
you at Sherman’s headquarters a dozen
times. I am Jack Ross, 8. Union spy. I was
arrested here a week ago, tried by court mar-
tial, found guilty, and to-morrow I am to be
hung.“
Ho trapped himself right on the start. As
I had never been at Sherman’s headquarters
but once, I knew the name of every spy em-
ployed by that army, and there was no such
person as J ack Ross. He worked every way
he could think of to trap me, but after a
couple of hours he gave it up as a bad job.
I did not go to sleep that night, suspecting
the surgon would play me some trick. About
midnight he came softly in with a couple of
soldiers, and at a signal the men screamed in
my ears. I did not move. Then a musket
was discharged over my body, and the sur-
goon called out:
“You carelem devill you have wounded
him!”
I did not think so, and I did not “awake”
until they pulled at me. Next morning the
pretended spy was taken out, and I was
threatened and bulldozed for an hour. After
breakfast, as I sat with my back to the door,
it was softly opened, and I heard the click!
click of the hammer of a revolver. . It made
my flesh creep, but I did not turn. At noon
I was returned to the genera ’s tent. He was
all alone, and he wrote on the tablet that I
was free to go and that he would give me a
pass. As he said this he handed me a paper,
but ten swomls later quietly remarked:
"See if I signed my name to it.”
That was not the last test. He conducted
me to the door of the tent, waved me post the
sentinel, and observed:
“Turn to the left to avoid the ditch.”
I turned to the right, bought some pro-
visions of a soldier, and after making a din-
ner, set out to the south. I do not think I
was followed or further suspected. I thor-
oughly investigated the defenses of the gap,
located the nearest large bodies of Confed-
erates, and returned to the Union lines with
no other damage than 11 flesh wound received

Both of
TYPOGRAPHICAL IMISHAPS.
Soun- of the Mirth Provoking Contortiouo
Indulged in by Types.
A Chicago writer described an exquisite as
one “whose manners would adorn a drawing
room,” but the unthinking compositor made
it read, “whose manners would alarm 11
drowning man.”
The Cincinnati Enquirer once created a
genuine sensation by stating, in display type,
thata gang of American counterfeiters had
been "shaving the queen,” when “shoving
the queer” was evidmitly what was intended.
One of the worst instances of misprints
caused by bad chirography was where the
heading “A honeymoon cut short" was
printed in full face as “A Hungarian cut—
throat.”
Another equaiiy disagreeable blunder, to
file parties interested, was where a distin-
guished traveler was reported as having re-
cently died “in the richness of sin.” The
paper, however, apologized for this candid
admission on the following day, by saying
that what the editor intended to write was
"the interior of Asia.”
Perhaps no newspaper writer was ever
more disturbed by a trifle than was the so-
ciety reporter who, in describing the belle of
arecent fashionable party, intended to say
“she looked au fait,” but found that an un-
feeling blacksmith had made it, “she looked
all feet.”
01' all editorial writers, Horace Greeley
was most noted for illegible copy. On one
occasion t the “modern Franklin" penned
something about “Suburban journalism ad»
vancing,” but the type setter, thinking it one
of his famous agricultural articles, launched
out wildly with the words, “Superb Jerusa-
lem artichokes."
It is somewhat singular how often the omis-
sion of a single seemingly insignificant letter
will alter the entire meaning of n. sentence.
For instance, several errors are recorded
where the letter “11" has been omitted from
the word “window,” invariably placing a
“widow” in some embarrassing position; as
where, on the occasion of a street pageant a
gentleman unwittingly advertised “several
widows for hire,” and the even worse blun—
der, in :1 religious paper, which gratefully
recorded the fact that “Mr. had very
generously placed a stained glass widow in
the church at —."'
Errors of substitution are usually caused
by bad distribution, or by letters dropping
into an adjoining box in an over full case of
type. That the letters “0” and “a” are so
frequently transposed is .due to the fact that
these letters are kept in adjoining boxes, and
the same rule holds good with regard to other
vowels and most frequently used letters. An
error of this description recently occurred ill
an article by the present writer, where an
allusion to the time honored tune of “Yankee
Doodle” was printed as “Yankee Boodle.”
The proof reader who allowed this error to
pass evidently hailed from Canada, and con-
sidered the new title as more suggestive and
appropriate to the present day.
A poem in the Somervilie (Mass) Journal
once contained this remarkable stanza:
Who took me from my Childhood‘s home,
And said he‘d love me all alone.
And for my sacrifice atone?
Dickinson My husband.
"Dickinson" was not the husband’s name;
it was simply a quad put in wrong side up,
showing the maker-k; name, which is usually
stamped on the bottom of type.
“’e will close our citations of some of the
tornlents of typography by mentioning what
is perhaps the most important printer’s blun-
der on record. It is said, on the authority of
the historian, Kinglake, that it was the in-
tention of Louis Napoleon to call himself
simply Napoleon. and that the title, Napoleon
III, was due solely to an error of the types.
Just before the coup d’etat. a minister of
the home office, busy preparing public senti-
ment, wrote:- “Que ie mot d’ ordre soit vive
Napoleon!!!” The printer took the exclama-
tions for “III,” and so the proclamation
went out, was copied by the press, and incor-
porated in public speech. It was no time for
explanations, and so the nephew of his uncle
adopted the title—Charles F. Adams in

'l'ho Bulldog’s Nobility.
There is a certain nobility about a bulldog
that goes far towards concealing his ugliness.
One of the prize winners has been going to
bench shows for the last thirteen years, and
he was never known to behave himself in an
unseemly manner. He is as ugly as sin, but
his owner thinks him the hundsomest dog on
earth. "He‘s the best judge of human nature
I ever saw,” said 110. "He knows an honest
man and a gentleman by instinct. He never
frightened a woman or :1 child, he never went

a responsibility. He has come in violent.

Their Comer in Land.
it is not so many dozen years since the
founder of the Astor family came to this
country as a small dealer in furs. He bought
land where it could be obtained for almost
one of the tunes of an old tambourine, and
held it until it promised too much to be easily
parted with. Its value grew at even a greater
rate than did his progeny. The disasters of
1837 were taken advantage of by “’illinm B.
Astor in that memorable year. He bought
up real estate at extremely low prices, and so
assiduously devoted his talents, time and
money to the acquisition of land that he had
$25,000,000 worth of it to divide at his death
in 1875. This land “corner,” as it may be
called, which each generation has added to,
has gathered, as the fixed stone is said to
gather the mess, the almost fabulous pile that

A French Woman “’ho Slept u. tear—A

lepsy and Finally Brain Fever.
Dr. Blanchet, the great French specialist,
mentions three cases which he considered be-
yond the ordinary; a complete account of
these may be found in The Competes Rendus
of 1864. In the first of the cases mentioned
the patient was a woman, then 24 years of
age. Her first sleep came 011 when she was
about 18 and lasted forty-two days. After-
wards, for the next two years, she experi-
enced no trouble in waking and sleeping as
ordinary folks do until after a narrow escape
from death in a runaway accident. After
her nerves beca-mo' quiet sho tucked the
drapery around her bed. closed her eyes and
quietly slumbered for the next two months.
.’ For the next four years she exhibited no
abnormal traits of mind or body. Every
function seemed active, and in no way did
she show the least trace of a tendency toward
narcolepsy. All outside appearances ware
delusive, however, for after the regular
Easter feast on Easter Sunday, 1862, she fell
into a profound slumber which nothing could
disturb in the least, and remained in that
condition almost a year, or until the middle
of March, 1863‘. During these eleven and a
‘ half months her complexion remained ruddy
and healthy looking, notwithstanding the
fact that there was nota single evacuation
of the bowels during that period. Physicians
came from far and near, every efl‘ort was
made to break the. lethargy, but all attempts
werefutile. Two false front teeth were re-
moved from the paticnt in order to supply
her with nourishment, which consisted of

In the year 1880 two Wonderful cases of
persistent narcolepsy were reported.’ In the
last week‘in January in that year the dangli-
ter of the mayor Of. Grambke, a little village
near Bremen, Germany, failed to respond to
the morning call, notwithstanding vigorous
efforts on the part'of her sisterstoarouse
her. At noon the father was informed, but
remarked that. the, child was, tired, having
attended a village gathering the day before
where romping was. indulged in to excess.
On the morning of the second day the father
became thoroughly alarmed and efforts were
again made to break the spell, but they, like
those of the morning before, were unsuccess-
ful. From that time forward untilabout the
middle of October, with the exception of a
few hours of semi-wakefulness, the girl con-
tinued to slumber as naturally as any child
over fatigued from a day of exercise. On
the 14th day of October, eight months and a
half having elapsed since the beginning of
her unnatural sleep, she awoke and called
her sisters to help dress her, remarking, “I
expect Gretchen will be here now before I
finish my breakfast.” She atc heartily, but
could not be induced to believe that it was
October and that little Gretchen, her play-
mate, had been dead several months.
The sisters of the little sleeper remembered
that little Gretchen had called on the first
day of the child’s sleep “just because she had
promised her that she would when they parted
the night before.” The fact that the child
did not mention the prospective call from her
little friend during her moments of seeming
wakefulness in April and July gave the at-
tending physicians ample room to question
whether she had really been awoke during
those semi-lucid intervals. “fithin a few
' days she was as bright and as playful as over,
seemingly none the worse off for her eight
and a half months of torpidity. On five (lif-
fereut occasions, twice in April and three
times in Jilly, when she could break the
lethargy for a few moments, she scemedas
bright and happy as though in her normal
condition; would insist on helping sweep or
wash dishes, but always fell asleep before the
task was completed. The fact that she never
mentioned the names of any of‘ her playmates
during these spells of semi-wakefulncss, argues
against her really being awake until the Octo-
ber morning when she announced the pros--
pective call from her little friend who had
died in May.

In 1874, while Nathan G. Vrocman, of
Schenectady, I\". Y., was at work in the har-
vest field, he received a severe sunsrrokc, but
quickly recovered and was soon able to take
his fork and go a-iield as though nothing had
happened. A few days later he complained
of dizziness, and ere long was forced to give
up the farm altogether. He worked in the
car shops of the city named above for about
two years, but was never rid of the feeling
of dizziness, especially if engaged in stoop-
ing work. In the six years that followed his
sunstroke ho was successively a shopman, a
brakeman and a conductor on a freight
train. 011 the 15th of February, 1850, his
head troubled him more than usual, and in
the afternoon he gave up his work and took
to his bed. He immediately fell asleep, and
continued in that condition almost without
interruption for four weeks and three days.
He would out only on alternate days, and
then with his eyes closed, giving no heed to
what was going- on around him. His appe—
tite was fairly good for one in an inactive
state, and never for a moment did he show
signs of fever or delirium.
Towards the curl of the ihirt-ylf'u'st day
Vrocman gradually roused himself; the at-
tendants chaf'cd his arms, legs and temples.
He opened his eyes, called for and ate a
hearty supper, iniprcsts'mg his attendants
with the voraciousucm of; his appetite. Dur-
ing the next few days he was very communi-
cative, persistng in keeping up a running
conversation on all sorts of subjects. Per-
sons in the room who had known him since
the time of the sunstrokc, say that he talked
more during the first night of wakefulness
than he had during the six years preceding.
He was awake almost all the time for the
next ten days and gained flesh and spirits
rapidly. On the evening of the tenth day he
again became morose and sleepy, took to his
bed and slept almost continually for a month.
Then a brain fever set in and soon put a pe-
riod to his existence—St. Louis Republic-an.

The Ghost Marlo "Em Skip. ,
.1 number of Irwin, Pa, boys were fright-
ened almost to death by seeing what they do-
clare to be a ghost near that town the other
night. They say they saw a woman running
along the top of the bank and then suddenly
jump into the out. As the distance from the
top of the cut to the bottom is about thirty
feet, they rushed up, expecting to find the
mangled remains of a dead woman. but on
arriving at the spot she had mysteriously
disappeared. Then a scare of such huge di-
mensions took possession of them that every
one’s hat rose several inches above his head.
and “Letsgctouterthis” was the cry, and out
they did get, making more steps to the minute
and fewer to the mile than ever weremade

llcuriacho Relief.
Tile editor of a. medical journal claims that
he has used :1 certain treatment for headache
for a year 61' so with remarkable success. It
is a solution 01' the bisulphide of carbon, two
or three drains of which are poured on a
sponge placed in a wide mouthed, glass stop-
percd bottle. ' When occasion for its use oc-
curs thc mouth of the bottle is to be applied
to the temple, oras near as possibleto the
seat. of pain, so closely that none of tho vola-
tilc vapor may escape, and retained there
four or five minutes or longer. It may be
reapplied several times during tllc day, and
it generally acts like magic, giving imme-
diate relief. Nervous headaches are the ones
to which it is especially adapted. Neru‘aigu'c,
periodic and hysterical headaches, and even
many kinds of dyspeptic headaches are al-
most invariably relieved by it. But it must
be understood that the remedy is for the
symptoms and not the cause, the theory
being that the vapor being absorbed through
the skin produces a sedative effect upon the
superficial nerves of the parts to which it is
applied—Good Housekeeping.
A YOUNG WOMAN’S woes.
The Care and Anxiety which Her Mother
Felt and flow Near it came to a. Sad
Ending.
The daughter of one of the leading inwyersol
Boston a young ladyof fourteen. began last sum-
mentocomplain of weaknessand weariness. Her
parents did not think it necessary to consult a
physician. and so day after day passed. and she
grew paler and weaker.
) "Like a worm in the
bud," something seemed
to he consuming her life.
Her mother sought the
cause. It was not heart
trouble; it seemed to be
some mysterious malady.
Weaker and weaker she
1' , - I grew until a doctor was
{ E4 called, but he either did
I Ig‘Cfi/igfi 1}! not understand her case
- - or could not reach it.
One evening the mother in reading the pa er,
saw an account of a oung lady who ad
suffered just as her own an liter was suffering,
and had been restored to hen th. More in despair
than hope, the mother tried the same means,
and saw her child gradually recover her health. ’
then her vigor, and then her happiness.
This is a true story, taken from life, the name
of the family being withheld. owing to its pro-
minence. The way by which the young lady's
health was re ained was by a free use or Hunt‘s
Remedy. T is pure and yet powerful com-
ound seems to be accom lishlrig unusual
hinge for both young and old adios 1n America.
Dr. Vandorville, of New York. openly asserts
that he knows of “more than u scoreol' middle-
aged wmnen who suffered
so much periodically that
their health, corn lexrons
and lives secmc to be
wrecked. and yet. to-duy.

It may have been rather :1 propensity to
use big words than a desire to be considerate
of the feelings of “1‘; 151an Field“ that caused
the presiding officer of 11 1111112111113 of colOrcd
people to rise and say:

Our little son will be four years of age on the

very painful breaking out of the skin. We called
in a physician, who treated him for. about four
weeks. The child received little or no good from
the treatment, as the breaking out, supposed by
the pllyslomn to he hives in an aggravated form,
became larger in blotches, and more and more
distressing. We were frequentlv obliged to get.
up In the night and rub him with soda in water,
sn-bng llniluents. etc. Finally, we called other
pnyslclans, until no less than six had altempted_to
cure him, all alike failing, and the child steadily
getting worse and worse, until about the 20111 of
last July. when we began to give him CUTICURA
RESOLVENT internally. and the CUTICURA and Cu-
TICURA SOAP externally, and by the last of August
he was so nearly well that We gave him only one
dose of the RESOLYENT about every second day
for about ten days longer. and he has never been
troubled since with the horrible malady. In all we

BABY’S
Choking Catarrh.
have you awakened from a disturbed sleep
until all the horrible sensations of an assassin
clutching your throat and pressing the life-
breath from your tightened chest? Have you
noticed the languor and debility that succeed
the eflort to clear your throat and head of
this caiarrhal matter? What a depressing
influence it exerts upon the mind, clouding
the memory and flllinrr the head with pains
and strange noises ! Ifow difficulflt is to rid
the usual passages, throat and lungs of this
poisonous mucus all can testify who are
afllcted with catarrh. How dlmcult to pro-
tect the system against its further progress
towards the lungs, liver and kidneys, all
physicians will admit. It isaterrible disease,
and cries out for relief and cure.

lha‘ve had a great deal of experience in
whaling in the Northern seas, and. asa result,
I never credit any stories as to what the Rs-
quimgux, or natives, have men. They can
see anything that anybody want; them to see.
and Will do so for a smallqumuity of bread
or provisions. They are frequently employed
on whaling vessels, being picked up at the be-
ginning of the seaSou and dropped when the
vessels are returning, or, if the weather is too
severe, carried on to San Francisco and re
fumed at: the beginning of the next season.
In this way many of them have learned to
speak English, but in twenty-two seasons" ex-
-perience in whaling I have never found it to
do them any good. One instance as to their
. reliability will be sufficient. I had one of
q four vessels caught in the ice, and I had
to work my. way 130 milm through
_ it. Mine was the only_ boat that
got' through, though I took the crew of! of
one of the others and the crew of another
found their wgy tosafety and were picked
up. The fourth boat, however, has never
been heard of, nor has any of her crew. The
next season we took a large amount of pro-
vision}, and wét'e on the lookout for any of
the crew or the, boat. We were boarded by
an intelligent native, who told us of three
. ships 011’ a point and away into the ice. There
were men on two of them, while the other
was uninhabited. The story was told in a
remarkably straight manner, and impressed
us with its truth. ' One of our ships, 0
steamer, was loaded up and sent 01! on the
perilous trip, while the native was sent away
rejoicing with a heavy load of bread provis~
ions. The star , though, was found to be a
myth. Thonetivolmd been carried to San
Francisco, had there heard of the loss of the
ships, andhad- made his story to fit, even to
the point of having one of the ships aban-
doned, u we had taken her crew oft—Ocean

flashlights.
In the summer the very old and the very
young, with other feeble persons, were em-
ployed in cuttifig rushes, the best kind for
candle making being the common soft jun.
cus ‘cong'lomeratms. Those grow best by
river banks and in marshy pastures. The
longest and plumpest were selected and do
prived of'the Outer green covering, a process
facilitated by. first steeping them in water.
One very narrow strip alone was left from
top to bottom as a support for the pith, or
two if the dip was intended for a night light,
when it burned slowly and with a feeble
flame. After being peeled the rushes were
bleached on the grass and then dried in the
sun. -.-
Six pounds of grease were allowed to a
pound of rushes; these last required to cool
between each immersion in the boiling fat,
and were dipped again and again until of
sufficient size. Where bees were kept, a small
quantity of waxrwas added to the tallow, the
candles acquiring greater consistency thereby,
but mutton fat was considered to answer the
same purpose. .The rushlights thus formed
burned from half an hour to forty minutes on
anaverage. A curiously shaped candlestick
was used to hold, them, and similar ones are
still employed for the purpose by some of the
Connaught pcamnts. Machine made candies,
however, are now so cheap, and paraffine oil
is insuch general use, that only in the re
molest districts-Tums one see a home made

A Beautiful Definition.
A dear child called Mary Cooper had read
her allotted nice; with such appropriate cmv
phasis and such sympathy of expression that
the inspector said to her in his kind, sincere
manner: “That was really beautiful, my
child! And now." he added, “if you can tell
me the meaning of that word ‘turf’ I shall
give you my very best mark.” Meanings of
wordsare mountains of- difficulty to some
children, and the tears almost started to
Mary’s eyes because she'reulized that the in-
spector ’had chanced to drop on a word
whose meaning she had not lately studied.
Poor child! i wonder how often she
had frolicked and tripped over nature‘s em-
erald carpeting i Possibly never! But Mary
had plenty of determination; she felt that
her very life almost depended on giving an
answer; and shelost no time in exercising
her little brain 'to the utmost for some kind
Of a definition‘. and, just as the inspector
was saying, “Well. neve ' mind, child, I will
pass on," she eagerly exclaimed: “Turf, sir,
is gram and clean dirt ,stuck together by
God.” "A most excellent definition,” said
the inspector; "in fact. the answer I looked
for was not neariyso preciscas that. You
have gained my highest mark. ”—-I.ongman‘s

_ The Gentle Japanese.
As illustrating his claim that' the Japanese
are a more civilized people than the Ameri-
cans. a gentleman at 5 recent Boston dinner
table cited Professor Morse’s statement thatif.
in a J apanese‘city, one picks up a stone to throw
at a dog, the dog does not run, because he has
never had a stone thrown at him and does not
know what'the action means. “manifestly,"
comments the Beston Transcript, “if such a
slate of universal gentleness and”- kindness
prevails in Japan that not even a stone is
thrown at a dog by a boy, the fact is to be
taken as an excellent itemof evidence in mak‘
ing out a case of high civilization for the
Japanese. And it is a significant fact that it
was reserved for our own European‘American
civilization to introduce the completest refine
ments of cruelty to animals.”—Detroit— Free
Press.
