From a garden in" the sky,
And they were flower poems
That came from oh, so high!
He gave one to a lady
Because her perfect hand
Seemed made to hold a poem
.That- came from blossom land.
And one went; to a prison
And a sweet message took—
One far away is dreaming g
Its smile pressed in a book.
One, filled with angel whispers,
He to my boudoir gave,
And one weeps in his memory—-

CAPTURED BY MALAYS.
I saw in a Singapore paper the other day
the statement that no less than five trad-
ing vessels hailing from that port were
long overdue from the Java. sea, and that
there were grave reasons to fear they had
fallen into the hands of the Malays. Such
a statement has an odd sound to the reader
who is not well posted in the locality and
its surroundings. The Java sea, which
separates Borneo from Java, contains over
a thousand islands, great and small. Mac—
assar straits, to the east of Borneo, con-
tains almost as many more. From Bat-
avia, looking north, . the Chinese sea is
studded with islands for two thousand
miles. It is an old saying among sailors:
“When Nature created Borneo she meant
that every man who ever lived on the island
should be a pirate.”
That four-fifths of the coast people have
for the last 200 years been engaged in this
business, no one doubts. The Malays hold
the sea front, while the Dyaks and other
tribes holds the interior. While piracy by
organized fleets no longer exists, every Ma~
lay craft stands ready to do business on its
own book. I was captured by a single
craft, and a small one at that, and will
now give you the particulars.
The English firm of Warner 8:. Hill, at
Batavia, employed three or four small
trading sehooners to cruise among the isl—
ands after fine woods, furs, shells, hides,
roots, dyestufi’s, etc. I was left in Batavia
off an English steamer, my father having
died on the voyage, and the firm spoken of
gave me a birth on the Orient, one of their
schooners. She was of ninety tons burden,
and carried a captain, mate, cook, two
foremast hands and a boy.
The captain stood his watch turn and
turn about, and the cook was on call as a
sailor. This gave us three hands to a
watch, which made handling the craft an
easy matter. W'e took out axes, hatches,
powder, lead, hoes, seeds, shoes and vari-
ous trinkets, and more or less money, and
as an armament we had seven or eight good
muskets. This was my third trip, and we
left Ilatavla for an island called Anello.
This is situated about forty miles south of
the southeast point of Borneo, and at that
time was an island containing almnt 1,200
people. IVe reached it after a pleasant- run,
and for the next week were anchored in a
bay on the north In this time we had
secured about half :2 v-argo, and at the end
of the week were ready to up anchor and
sail for another island to the south.
The king of Anello wanted to prove his
friendship for us, and, therefore made a
banquet to which all were invited. N o
doubt all would have gone, but that after-
noon I accidentally cut my foot, and it
pained me so much that I begged to remain
aboard as shipkeeper. All others went
ashore at sundown. W'e lay within 200
feet of the beach. and the village was right
there. Several large fires were built, and
I could see and hear almpst everything. It
was a warm, balmy night, and after a
while I lay down on deck,_‘and despite the
noise on shore went to sleep. When I
opened my eyes again some one was tying
my wrists, having already neatly per-
formed that job on my ankles. As I tried
to sit up I received a smart tap on the head
from a club, and a voice which I knew he-
longed to a Malay warned me to be quiet.
I had picked up enough of the lingo to un-
derstand what he meant, and as I caught
sight of five or six other figures on deck,
and also "calized that the schooner was in
motion, I lay back and kept quiet.
The craft was in the hands of the Malays.
'E.‘hey had sneaked into the harbor under
cover of darkness, cut her hempen cable,
and she had drifted out with the tide. She
must have been a mile off shore when I
smoke, for they now proceeded to get her
head around and give her all sail. In about
an hour the leader of the gang approached
me and cast off my bonds, and motioned
me into the fo’castle. I was glad enough
to go, for I was in a terrible fright. I had
seen Malays about Batavia often enough,
but had been told that the real residents of
Borneo were a cruel and savage lot, and
that an Englishman unfortunate enough
to fall into their hands could hope for no
mercy.
There was a fine and favorable breeze,
and the fellows on deck knew how to ban—
dle the craft. She was kept going all
night, and so fiustered was I that my eyes
did. not shut for a minute. About 8 o’clock
in the morning we ran into a harbor on
the south side of the island of Lent, which
is on the southeast coast of Borneo, and
separated from the mainland by a narrow
channel. As the anchor went down I was
ordered on deck. We were in a land
locked harbor, and not over 100 feet off the
beach. Right opposite was a large village,
and several hundred people had rushed
down to the shore to yell and cheer. A
dozen sampans were soon alongside, and
into one of these I was placed and taken
ashore. A white man was no great curios-
ity to the natives, even at that day, and I
was scarcely noticed as I was conducted
through the crowd to a hut in the center
of the village. There was only a mat hang-
ing at the door, but they well know that
:0 guard was needed to keep me there.
It was noon before they gave me any-
thing to eat or drink, and then I was told
that I might walk about the village if I
desired. I didn’t care to take advantage
of this offer, but sat in the door of my but
and saw them haul the schooner ashore
and land her cargo. There were over two
hundred men engaged about her. W'liile
some broke out the cargo others went
stripping her of sails and cordage. Before
dark there was nothing left but a bare
hull and two masts. The bowsprit and
topgzillaut masts were sent ashore, and
everything was taken out except the bal-
last. I don’t think they left a foot of rope
or chain, and every board or beam they
could get at was taken away. The last
thing was cutting away the masts. Soon
after they went overboard the hull floated
0133' the sand, and they then towed her out
of the bay and scuttled her.
As fast as the cargo was lauded it was
taken to two large storehouses in the cen-
ter of the village, and had our captain .ar:
rived at sundown in pursuit of his craft he:
would have found nothing whatever on
the beach to tell him what had occurred;
About dark a woman brought me food?
and drink, and seeing that I was in pain'
with my foot, she brought water‘ and
washed it and then bound it up With suns
bruised leaves of a soothing nature. ;;She
quite won, my heart by her kindness, and I
was led to hope that my lot might not be
so wretched after all. As far as I could
see no guard was placed at the door, nor
was any one appointed to watch me. There
were as many as fiftysampans on the beach
in‘plain view, and one night’s paddling to
- the south would have brought me to an
island. They reasoned correctly, however.
I did not have the nerve to risk it. A boy
at sea in acauoe without food, water or
compass woul be as badly off as among
the Malays on shore.
Next morning after breakfast the head
man sent for me. He was a chap of great
dignity and evil look, but the capture of
the schooner had put him in good humor.
He asked me where she belonged, how long
she had been out, and many other ques-
tions, by which he sought to ascertain
what sort of an investigation might follow.
He examined my .foot, which was now al-
most well, and then called in an attendant,
who conducted me to the store houses. The
hoes, axes and hatchets were without han-
dles, and I was now given to understand
that I must go to work and fit them up.
I wasn’t much of a mechanic, but was
pleased enough with the job. I overhauled
the carpenter’s chest for tools, and then
started into the forest to search for timber.
A dozen or more half grown boys followed
me,‘ and while some of them were inclined
to play me tricks to get up a laugh they
offered me no violence. Indeed, at the end
of half an hour we were all on a friendly
footing. I found a tree which is called
“back ya” in Borneo, but which has the
grain and fiber of English elm. There was
one ax "with a handle, we. having used it
on shipboard. This I had brought along,
and I now proceeded to fell the tree, which
was about a foot thick and very straight
and tall. The boys were astonished beyond
measure at my way of handling the ax.
The Bornese use a hatchet, and strike
while squatted on the ground. It would
have taken a man two hours to accomplish
what I did in fifteen minutes.
I found the wood easy to rive, and that
day began a task which occupied me for
the next three months. During this time
I was fairly well used, though given none
too much to eat. The man who had first
planned my work for me continued to be
my boss, and once a day, at least, came
around to see me. As none of the Bornese
would use a crooked handle in an ax, I had
to make them all straight.
The village was very compact, the houses
almost touching each other, while about
twenty acres of land to the north of it was
under cultivation. It was the village gar-
den, and one day after I had finished my
job and was working in this garden the
woman who had exhibited such kindness
on my first arrival came out to me and
told me that I had been sold to the ruler
of another island to the east of us. An
hour before her coming I had seen a large
native craft put in, and could not doubt
that she belonged to my new owner. The
woman’s object in warning me was that I
might take to the woods, but I hesitated
to go.
venomous reptiles and savage wild beasts,
and I would be defenseless. And, too, I
had heard that the Dyaks and other in-
terior tribes were as bad or worse than the
Malays, and to cut and run would mean
walking into their hands. It was in the
afternoon when the woman came out. I
continued work until almost sundown,
and then decided to hide out and see if I
could not steal a sampan during the night
and be off. Our ruler was giving a feast
to the other, and revelry ran high. It was
owing to this fact I made the move I did,
hoping I would not be missed.
It had come 10 o’clock at night, and I
was about to quit my hiding place and go
to the beach when there came a sudden, an
awful explosion. . I was on my feet, and
was thrown down, and during the next
minute the air seemed to be choked with
flaming brands, while many boards and
sticks fell around me. \Vhen I stood up
and looked down into the village I saw
only a great heap of debris, and that was
on fire. I at once hastened to the spot. A
few people were rushing around in a crazy
way, and others were lying on the ground
and shouting over the pain of their inju-
ries. I could not see one single but stand-
ing. I soon figured out what had hap-
pened. The liquors and the powder were
kept in the same store house. Some one
had been sent for more drink, and his care«
lessness had caused an explosion. N 0 one
paid the slightest attention to me, and
after a few minutes I ran down to the
beach. There were plenty of sampans
there, and I selected one and hastily shoved
off. The big craft was at anchor below
me, and when I had passed her it occurred
to me that all her crew were on shore, and
that I could board her and secure'provis-
lens.
I put about and ran alongside. She was
taking care of herself, and as I felt her
tugging at her anchor, and realized that
the tide was going out, the thought came
to me to take her. I didn’t wait to reason
about it, but ran forward and began saw-
ing away at the hempen cable with the
old pocket knife which I had brought with
me to the island and carefully guarded ever
since. It soon parted, and as the vessel
drifted out of the bay I worked her around
with her head off shore. She was what is
called a kampoug, fitted for both rowing
and sailing, and, boy that I was, I gave her
enough of the big mainsail to send her off
shore at the rate of four or five miles an
hour. When daylight came I could not
see the island from the deck, but before
sunrise Iwas alongside of a Java trader
coming up from the south, and among
friends. It was three months before I got
back to Batavia, and it was only then that
the firm knew how the schooner was lost.
Captain and crew had believed that she
slipped her moorings and drifted out to
sea to be lost. A year later a Malay who
had a brother in the village destroyed told
me that not over a dozen people escaped
death or serious injury. There was at least
a ton of powder in the store house—New

The lilines of Austrili.
The total value of the mineral produce
of Austria (proper) in the year 1876 was
£3,458,000, which in 1888 increased to £4,-
497,000. In 187 6 the output included 45,612
centners (110 pounds) of copper ore, 5,549,-
656 centners of iron ore, 76,625 centners of
lead ore, 261,577 centners of zinc ore, 67,817
centners of manganese ore, 69,396,184 cent-
ners of peat and 49,284,494 centners of coal.
Compared with 1888 the outputs, with the
exception of zinc and-manganese ore, show
considerable augmentation, the totals for
the latter year being as follows: Copper
ore, 66,184 centners; iron ore, 10,093,203
centners; lead ore, 125,311 centners; zinc
ore, 263,120 centners; manganese ore, 65,541
centners; peat, 128,602,553 centners, and
coal, 82,744,609 centners—Chic. no Journal

Nero \Vorc a Blonocie.
Spectacles were invented our years ago.
The use 01' glass to aid the sight of defect-
ive eyes is, however, mucn older. lv'ero
looked through a concave glass in watch-
ing the giauiatoriai games, and many
otner historical men of his day were de-
pendent on similar devices for lengthening
their sight. Till the latter part of the
Thirteenth century only the single glass
was in use.
In 1290 the double glass was invented,
some say by Saiviuo degli Armati, others
by the monk, Alexander of Spina. In the
Fourteenth century spectacles were used
quite frequently by the very wealthy and
high born. although they were so scarce
that they were bequeathed in wills with all
the elaborate care that marked the dispo-
sition of a feudal estate. The holy Antonius
of lladua,_who preached to the fishes when
men refused to near him, gave to the poor,
according to the legend, not only his clothes,
but also his spectacles.
The nrst spectacles, which were very ex-
pensive, werc made in Italy. Somewhat
later the manufacture of cheaper glasses
sprang up in Holland, and it spread late in
the Fourteenth century to Germany. Nurn-
berg and Rathenow acquired fame for their
glasses between 1490 and 1500. For many
years glasses were used only as means of
aiding bad eyes, First in Spain appeared
the fashion of wearing glasses merely for
the sake of wearing them. It spread rap-
idly to the rest of the continent and brought
about the transformation of the old/Thir-
teenth century spectacles into eyeglasses
and eventually into the monoclc, “the cos-
mopolitan trademark of the dandy.”-—New

Lead in Laces.
Pb. dc Clarmont gives an account, in
Le Moniteur de la Teinture, of a white
satin dress totally ruined by its trimming
with English lace. The dress had been
worn but once, had then been packed into
a trunk which was deposited in a damp
place and exposed to emanations of hydro-
sulphuric acid from gas. When taken out
it was found that the pattern of the lace.
particularly of its tulle ground, had been
printed in indelible black upon the white
satin. The accident was not difficult to
explain. '
English lace is habitually charged with
sulphate of lead, which in this case ab-
sorbed hydrogen and hydrosulphuric acid
from the atmosphere, forming sulphide of
lead, which had been imprinted and fixed
upon the white satin, which naturally had
also absorbed hydrogen and hydrosulphu-
ric acid. The seller of the lace showed
that charging English lace with white
lead (sulphate of lead) was commercial
usage, and thereby escaped paying the
damage. An objectionable usage it is at
any rate, as the absorption of lead through
the skin from such lace may become dan-
gerous to health.
Great Swimming Bath.
The greatest swimming bath in the
world is situated four miles from Helena,
Mont. The building is about .350 feet long
by 150 feet wide, with a roof 100 feet high,
supported by buttresses in a single span.
The tank is 300 by 100 feet, at one end
about four feet deep. running to ten or
more at the other. Natural hot and cold
water pours over the huge precipice of
cyclopean masses of granite at one end,
about fifty feet wide and forty feet high.
The precipice is pierced by three large
openings, over which the water pours in
great sheets and is so artistically erected
that one would easily believe it to be a
series of natural falls. The flow is so
large that the tank is replenished several
times a day. The temperature is about 80
degs. A swim in its deep waters is very
fine. The whole is lighted by day through
great areas of cathedral glass in different
tints, terra cotta predominating. The
tank house is illuminated at night by in— .
candescent lights—Cor. Chicago Tribune. .
Excellence of Railroad Service.
A traveler on the London and North-
western railway, while going southward
from Edinburgh by the west coast route,
states that, noticing the great speed of the
train, he took the trouble to reckon what
it was. In the space of six miles he found
that it averaged eighty miles an hour. He
was sitting in a compartment of an eight
wheeled coach, weighing about nineteen
tons, and notwithstanding the extraordi-
nary speed there was an entire absence of
oscillation, and the carriage is described as
being in a state of perfection. So far as
any motion of the carriage was concerned
it was impossible for the passenger to tell
whether he was going at the rate of eighty
miles an hour or eighteen—New York

Old Time Moral Laws.
This was a period when the so called
“blue laws” were most rigorously en-
forced, not only in Connecticut, with
which tradition associates them, but in
Massachusetts. In the former colony no
food or lodging could be given to a Quaker,
Adamitc or other heretic. No one could
run on the Sabbath day or walk in his
garden or elsewhere, except reverently to
and from meeting. No one could travel,
cook victuals, make beds, sweep house, cut
hair or shave on the Sabbath day. No
woman could kiss her child on Sabbath or
fasting day. Whoever brought cards into
the colony paid a fine of £5.
No one could read the Book of Common
Prayer, keep Christmas or saints’ days,
make minced pies, dance, play cards or
play on any instrument of music except
the trumpet, drum or jewsharp. Liquor
drinking was regulated, and the use of to-
bacco was tinkered incessantly. No one un-
der twenty-one years, nor any one not pre-
viously accustomed to it, could take tobacco
without a physician’s certificate. No one
could take it publicly in the street or in the
fields or woods, except on a journey of ten
miles. Nor could any one take it in any
house in his own town with more than one
other person taking it at the same time.
This last injunction was leveled at the so
called “tobacco parliaments.” About 1645
the Massachusetts magistrates were great-
ly troubled that the people would tell lies.

Queer Names of Firms.
“Did you ever notice the names of busi-
the street?” remarked a man yesterday
with an observant turn of mind. “On the
principle that present company is always
excepted I won’t refer to the names of
business firms in Pittsburg. But what do
you think of this for a combination:
“A few days ago I was in a neighboring
town, when I was attracted by this sign,
‘Love, Sunshine 8.: Co.’ The two should
go together, but whether in this case the
partners loved each other, and in conse-
quence there was much sunshine, I didn’t
stop to inquire. It struck me as peculiar,
and I couldn’t help stopping and looking
at it.
“Such names, combined as they are,
ought to make men famous in spite of the
saw that there is nothing in a name any-
how. ‘Irish & English’ was another name
that caught me. Just at this time, when
these two classes have no particular love
for each other, the association of the names
resembles the lying down of the lion and
the lamb. Hereafter look at the names
that compose partnerships, and you will
frequently be amused.”———Pittsburg Dis-
patch.
Killing Partridges with :1. Pole.
“Did you ever hear of catching par-
tridges with a pole?” said a sunbrowned
business man to a friend in Broadway. “I
never did myself until recently. A party
of us were up above Three Rivers, Canada,
surveying a tract of wild land, and one day
after a long tramp we came to the top of a
mountain where we scared up a whole lot
of partridges. They were those little black
Canadian fellows, you know—smaller than
ours—and were so tame that a man could
almost catch them with his hands. N 0
one of us had thought it worth while to
bring along a gun from the camp.
“Our guide, a ‘Canuck,’ proved equal to
the emergency, however. ‘Whistle and
watch me catch him,’ said he to one of the
party. He then went and cut a stout pole
about twelve feet long, while the other
continued to whistle. The birds cocked
their heads first on one side and then on
the other in a way to make us laugh, but
they stood still and ‘faced the music,’
while the guide stole up unnoticed and
was thus enabled to kill three fine ones.

How Barbers Blake the Man.
It is astonishing what a difference in porn
sonal appearance may be effected by a hair
out. A badly shaped head may, by a skill—
ful barber, be made to assume an intellect-
ual cast, and in a very simple way. The
intellectual head viewed from the front, is
wider at the top than just below the cars,
and a clever barber by cutting the hair
short over the ears,‘and gradually length-
ening it to the top of the head, may give
the greatest dolt an appearance of brains
and intellectuality. The real shape of the
head is concealed by the hair cut, and 50
‘ per cent. of good looks added to the face.
They say the tailor makes the man, and no
3 doubt he helps, but I claim that the barber
’ does his part, and if well trained, his part
'? is by no means, contemptible.—Interview

Eels Are Very Prolific.

Antiserum—Charles A. Daley was ar-
rested last evening for stealing from the
drug store. of Shiefman, a. bottle of Sulphur
Bitters. Before the court this morning,
upon being asked why he should steal, he
stated that his mothcr was troubled with
Rheumatism, and that it was the only
medicine that helped her, and being out
of money and work was the cause of his
stealing. As this was his first offence he
was put on probation—Newark News.

With several years of experience in the claim business at
the National Capital, and being thoroughly familiar with
methods of practice before the Pension Bureau, I am in a
position to render valuable aid to Soldiers and Sailors, their
and dependent parents, who
The new law provides a
at $312 per month, regardless
of their pecuniary circumstances at time of the death of their
son. provided he left neither Widow or minor children.
It also allows a pension of from $6 to $12 per month to
all who served ninety days in the Military or Naval service
during the late war, who are by reason of physical or mental:
disability unable to earn their support by manual labor.
Under this section of the law many who. are now receiving
only $2 or $34 per month could easily obtain an increase.
Widows of those who served as above for a period of nine—
ty days or more, who are dependent upon their own labor for
support, will receive, upon submittance of proper evidence,
$8 per month, and $2 per month for each minor child under
sixteen (16) years 'of age, and this regardless of the fact
whether death was the result of army service or not. '
N o fee is allowed me unless I am successful, and then the
fee is paid by the Pension Agent from the pension granted.
