Sir Henry Morgan was the last of the great

I tH pIrates captured a hlp and did nol

Among the earliest oC the famous ma-
roonors was Captain Avery. who captured
the ship of the Great Mogul. together with
his daughter her court and all the Inesti-
mable treasure In jewels and gold
The earlest known of Captain Avery Is
as first mate aboard a hlp called The '
Duke whIch , after the peace of Hyswlck ,
had been fitted out by the Spanish govern-
ment at Bristol , England , and sent to the
Vest indies to act as a guarda del costa , or
coast guard , to keep away the French smug-
glers who used to sail over from Martinique
to travel along the coast of the Spanls'a main.
The commander oC The Duke was one Cap-
; tain Gibson of Drlsto1 lie . WIS , as the his-
torian expresses It , "mlghly addicted to
punch 80 that ho pasesd most of time time on

Thus It came abou . that the ship and the
ship's company were left altogether In charge

In persuading the crew to mutiny and turn

streets and the harbor front ; strnge , sus-

Som.The historian or this famous pirate says
that ho designed to sell his treasure ali per-
haps to settle In Boston , but that there was
nobody ( In that little colonial town who Iwew
the , value , or such gems or would dare 10
handla them.
So the pirates saled aay ' back to Eug-

was now grown so poor that he hall to beg

his vast treasure might as veil have been
so many pebbtes from time seashore , for he
was sifraiti to oler a single one of hIs dia-
mends for sale for fear lest suspicion should
bo raised against hll ,
At last It occurred to him that maybe
some oC his friends In Bristol might help
him , for ho knew that there were merchant
there who deal In precious stones. Accord-
Ingly he Jet about returning to Englan
Ho was too poor to pay for n passage and so
11 had to worlt his way across the Irish
channtI , lanlng , at Portsmouth and walk-
Ing afoot down to Jol'onshlre as far as Bide-
ford. There he put up at a poor Inn and
sent word to some rlends In Bristol whom
ho could trust to come to him.
The fame of Captain Avery hall travel
before him , and hIs friends came down by
post In answer to his message.
They found Captain Avery In the taproom
room when they arrIved. lie was hal tipsy ,
but he had sulclent wits left to ask of the
landlord that he and his friends should be
shown Into a private room. Then ho took
out a leather bag from his breast and poured
out before them upon the rough deal table '
such a streaming , glstening heap of diamonds -
mends , rubles , emeralds and sapphires as
dJzzlcd their eyes and left them standing
Ilumb-rounded , Then the pirate scraped
the jewels back Into the leather bag agaIn
and hung the hag about hIs mieck where It
had been before , and he was just as poor as
ever.
ever.le and his friends sat for a long time
discussing what was to he done. At last It
was determined that certain honest , respectable -
ble merchants of Bristol should be asked
to take charge of the jewels and to dispose
oC them from time to time as they culd ,
Accordingly I welt later a party of gen-
tiemen came down to Dhleonl to see Cap-

would do what they could for him-that they
would take the stones and sell them from

disposed oC them. Then the stones were
cunted , a receipt gIven for them , and the
merchants took their leave carrying away
the stones and leaving a little money for

Captain Avery remained In Ddeord wait-

A HAi/WAY \ IiNIGILT- ) ERRANT.
The Chicago specIal bore an unusually
heavy load that day ,
Vncaton was over , and homewarll travel
had begun. There was not a single empty
seat In any four sleepers anti at each stop
there were new .Iemands for berths.

failed to bespeak their berths , were frequent ,
and the last berth , the upper one In the rear

At a glance he could tel who would and
who would not buy of him , and Just what
women needed-a little persuasion and a
pleasant smlo to Induce a purchase.
In fact , Dan's smile was a valuable part
of his stock In trade and lie uted It to advantage -
vantage , for It was n pleasant static-and It
made time round , freckled face very winnIng.
Ho was sorting over his books now Ire-

and she'l be a real geol girl , and not trouble
you one bit , won't you Dosle ? "
Here she pulled forward a little blue-'e
girl , and the conductor's eyes rested thought-
fuly on her. S
Dan drew near-he was Interested to know
what the conductor would do.
'They'll bo most cray 1 she don't come , "

Indnstrlnl profit sharing Is the subject of
an instructIve article by Prof rank W.
Dlackmar In the March 'orum lie says
time plan oC profit sharing , ns adopted by
the N. 0 Nelson MnnuCacturlng company of
St Louis In 1886 , sets aside one.lenth or the
profits for a reserve und , one-tenth for a
provident fund [ and omme-twentieth for an edu-
catonal lund , and the balance Is divided
equally between the employer and the em-
plos The reserve tumid was created to
) the losses or bad years and equalize
dividends when \rofts were smal , Time lrov-
blent fund was created to take care of [ the
\lent create
sick , time dlsa\lell and the [ , llles or deceased -
ceased laborers TIme management oC the
Ilrovhlent tumid \rs placed In time hands of
n committee oC live of the emlllo'es , elected
by the Imlllo ) 'e8 themselves. Every elploye
who has served lie ( compan for sIx months
or more Is entitled to the benefits of this
fund , and medical aid Is pro\IICI by the
committee , The alowance on account or tlis-
. adult $3 for a
ability Is $5 It week for an adul ,
minor , $2 for an employe's wife or dependent
mother amid $1 a week for [ each child . The
families amid dependents oC Ileceased em-
imloles are suitably provided for to keel ( them
Cram want There are no condiions attached
to elllloyment amid prof shnrlng except time
man's capacity for his work anti there Is no
agreement respectng nnlons , the ( line oC
service or the manner or qlltng , The man-
.
ncr oC division was fnal ) modified so as to
yIeld 2 liar cent dividends on wages to every
1 per cent on capital , and the early practice
oC setting aside 10 per cent as a provIdent
fund was dIsplaced by time practice of paying
for these funds ,
out whatever was necessary
charging the same against time gross profts ,
The pro\'ldent fund Is Ilnaged entirely by
a comlltee elected by the emplo'es without
any Interference on the part of the corpora-
tiomi. 'he whole aim oC the company has
been to make a simple plan free from entanglements -
tanglements anti Intricate C01110ns. Time

year 8 per cent , the fifth year 10 per cent
the sixth year 8 per cent , the seventh year

TiE ANTI-TOXIN TREATMENT.
A very interesting eXllerlmcnt In Immunity
has been male at the New York Infant
ailyum , writes Dr. L. mmett Hol In the
Forunm , In the country branch oC thIs Inst-
tutionm. containing about 350 chldrtn , diphtherIa -
therIa was epidemIc In the months oC September -
tember , October and Novemb oC 189t Since
that tIme , though time farce oC the epidemic
has abated , new cases have continued to ap-
pear every few days , Between January 1.
1895 , and January 16. eleven cases occurred ,
/tt this date anti-toxin was injected Into
225 chIldren , this Including every child at the
institution who had not prevlourly urerfd
from diphtherIa. Til results were most
striking Net a snglo case oC dllJlltlerla

Of time first 300 hosilital CIS of true ( dipim-

thole 300 only cases In which the diphtheria
bacillus was found. At the Bare time that
these cases were treated by antHoxln In one
hospital , 520 cases \re treated In another
hospItal without It , with a mortality of GO
pr cent , showing that the results obtained by
time anti.toxin'couid not be explaIned by
time fact that a Ilder type of disease
was then prevailing. , 1 I'en 2G per cent seems
a high mortalty , but It Is 10 ba remembered -
bered In readIng these statistics that every
case oC diphtheria admited to the hospial

nor how hopeless the condition of the pa-
