mm JAlOIDfG DAYS. AN OLD MARINER'S TALES OF BRAV ERY IN WRECK. "O XrsEW u a Sailer,. X Went Xeare Xe Said, tke Captain to s Swede Sailor. Ermxery aad tPatlroa la the Sex Sssiaess ef the Old Days. "Bah I" he said. Ton have a lot to learn, young mm. Tea have as much sentiment in jenr construction as this stick: I carry. "The idea of a youth like yon trying to tell me that there is as ranch hmvery and pathos attached to seafaring nevrss there was -when Ivas master of a -wind jammer! Ton probably believe that yen are correct in your statement; but, man alive, you are making a fool of yourself. Here in these days you have lifeboats big and stout enough "to '" -y an army of men. Ton have steam to manipulate the falls, patent davits to swing clear. .No lowering away by hands and no get ting them back over the side with every pound of flesh a-pnlling. 2 ew fangled gtms far throwing a life line, rafts that won't go to pieces in the first chop of a sea, cork jackets that need no instruction cards, but which go on like a man's vest; pumps that are rusty for want of nse, seamless plates and dozens of other inventions in these days. Where were thev in the old times? "-Let me tell yon something. I don't say but that- there are many brave and gallant mariners in the business now. But the old shipwreck meant more in the matter of life taking than the ship wreck of today does. Did you ever hear tell of a sailor of the old school trying to get into a boat before the passengers were out of danger? You needn't say yon have, because you have not. Why, the only ones who ever attempt any thing of that kind are stokers and fire men and rowdies who have the impu dence to call themselves sailers. "I rem ember the case of ashore loafer named Holmes, who tried a shenanigan like that. He was after ward tried in the United States circuit court at Philadel phia and was convicted of manslaughter. He was one of 30 shipwrecked persons who took to the long beat, which was greatly overloaded and cunstantly in danger of sinking. Well, this beach rat Holmes and some more of Abraham's men threw overboard 16 passengers, two of whom were women, to lighten the boat. The court held that a sailor is bound by law, if necessary, to sacrifice his life to save the life of passengers. Furthermore the court held that while two sailors might struggle with each other for the possession of the same plank which could save but cne, if a passenger were on the plank even the law of necessity would not justify the sailors in Taking it from him. You do not think much of that law? Well, it is the law of God. It is also the law of duty. "Did you ever hear cf the case of Captain Xutman of the ship Aidar? He was a geed sailer and a gallant master and no matter wrt many may think, it is possible to be both. His ship foun dered, but he rclcscd to be taken off. po yonkrew why he refcsi d to be taken off? There was an injured man on board, and while the old timbers were going to pieces under bis very feet he knelt down and said to the man: " 'I won't leave yen, lad. On my hcnGr as a sailer I wen't.' "On his hener as a sailor he would not leave him. Have you ever heard of anything more tonchingly honest? Cap tain Kutman wect down with his ship, but managed to hold on to his man and to get to the bottom of an upturned boat, from which they were afterward rescued. It was a month or so after that when a townsman asked Captain Hut man what the name of the rescued man was. "'Why, I never inquired,' he said. He just signed articles in the regular way. I may have heard it then, but I do not know it now. He was a Swede, that's all I know cf hira.' "The friend shook his head in aston ishment as he inquired; "'What! A Swede? Take all that chance for a Swede? 'Why, yes, even for a Swede. I didn' fe care whether he was a Swede or a Laplander. He was a geed sailer and would have done the same for me had things been reversed." "Nor is that alL young man. There was a shipwreck about 1 84o, but the name of the craft has escaped my mem ory. The crew took to one boat, which was overcrowded. A noble .Newfound land, the pet cf the ship, swam along side the beat. All the men turned their eves sadly upon him, but they knew there was no room for him in that boat. The captain loved that dog better than he loved his life, and he stood up in the boat as he took oft his coat and saidr " I cannot see him jlie like this. Give brm my place in the boat. I can hold on to the plank, and he cannot." "There was a chorus of dissent, and one of the sailors struck the brute over the head with the blade of an oar, while another pulled his sheath knife. " 'Don't hurt him, said the captain kindly, but firmly. " 'Order hrm away, then,' growled several of the men. 'He will swamp us alL' "The captain hesitated a minute, waved his arm in the air and Eaid, Back, Prince!' and the faithful brute swam back in the direction in which the vessel had disappeared beneath the surface. Where do you find such pathos ill the sea business now? Give me the old sailor every time. ,s And he hobbled pp Beaver street as the young mariner "dived into William pwt-Pir York .Mail and Express.

Chicago HeccrtL ONE OF THE OLDEST SHIPS. ia Americ Bark Bant la 17C4 Stm Do lag- DHty. The bark True Hove, built ri PhSa ielphia in 1764, has been found upon search to be yet afloat in the capacity cf a coal hulk, engaged in active trade. This discovery was made through a cas ualty recorded in the -Maritime Exchange as follows: True Love, barge, was in collision with schooner Gravesend of London, off Gravesend, and had port quarter damaged to such an extent that it was found necessary to tow her into Rochester, and she arrived at that place in charge of the tug Commerce. The true XiOve has not only outlived her builders and their successors, but has also outlived every craft that was built in her time and for many years after ward, and this fact, coupled with, the report that the historic craft is still en gaged in active pursuits, places Phila delphia at the very top notch as a ship building center. In 1764, when this famous old craft was launched on the banks of the Dela ware, although her length was but 96 feet 8 inches, she was then the largest vessel of commerce that the Delaware had ever floated. Contrast this with the dimensions cf the huge Hamburg- Amer ican Packet company's steamship Penn sylvania, whose length is 5S7 f get, and one will be amazed with the magnitude cf the modern ship of commerce. The True .Lave, upon being completed, sailed away from Philadelphia early in 1765, and no record is had of her return to this city until Aug. 22, 1873, when, at the age of 109 years, she came into port from Ivigtut, Greenland, with a cargo of kry elite in command of Captain Thomas Nathaniel, consigned to B. Crowley. She was discharged here and surveyed by the American Lloyds in October, 1873, and sailed away, never to return again. Upon her arrival short ly afterward in Louden she was sold and turned into a coal hulk, in which capacity she still serves. The dimensions of this famous True .Lave are: Length, 96 feet 8 inches; beam, 26 feet 9 inches; depth cf hold, 17 feet. She measured 206 tens register, and, like all old craft, carried very lit tle more cargo. The discovery that there was still afloat a Philadelphia built vessel of such an age has caused much comment on the floors of the Maritime Exchange, and some shipping men are of the opin ion that this old craft should, if possi ble, be purchased as a relic. Records show that the True Love was far a time owned in EnlL England, by G Dahl previous to her purchase by John S. Ward cf London, and during that time she was engaged in the Baltic trade. Philadelphia Press. THE PLAYFUL SEAL. Xots of rrra In ilnslin Things In the "Water- "Willi Its "WTiiskew. i Seals have on either side of the nose ' a little scattering bunch cf whiskers or ' bristles something like a cat's whiskers. ' The bristles of the hair seal the species at the aquarium at Battery park are 1 not so long as those of the fur seal, but ' they are three or four inches in length, and they are white and slender and flex- . fble. The older of the aquarium seals, which has been there about 2) years, gets a lot of fun out cf its whiskers. It juggles mings m tne water wiui mem for hours at a time. There may be floating in the pool a fragment of fish skin, for instance, left from the last feeding. The seal will swim under this and raise it on the tips of its slender bending whiskers. The fragment floats away or dodges off with the agitation of the water caused by the seal's motions, and the seal swings its head under it and raises it again on its whisker tips. If it slides down a wave that the seal has raised, the seal swims after it. The seal is a very rapfd and graceful swimmer. Sometimes this seal when it has tossed up the fragment of fish cfrrn in this way will turn over in the water with a swift spiral movement 1 and catch the fish skin on" its bristles again when it comes up. It is some- ' thing like a man tossing things up in , the air and then turning round and back i in time to catch them when they come ( down. i For hours at a time, as a kitten plays with a ball, the seal juggles this frag ment floating in the water. New York Sun. Sloping Shoulders. And now, says a New York fashion writer, comes the disagreeable news that in foreign fashion centers sloping shoulders ar to reign. We have it on undoubted authority that the leop ard cannot change his spots nor man add one cubit to his stature, yet will the modem exponent of fashion ex ercise her ingenuity in the alteration of the anatomy above the shoulders. For many years we have worn our shoulders up to our ears, so to speak. Now all is to be changed, and the fashionable woman must assume the virtue of slop ing shoulders, though she have it or not. Seams from neck to shoulder point are to be lengthened, and all fullness that remains in the top of the sleeve will tend in a downward direction. -Lne shoulders proper will remain where they are, but will look as if they had received a direct impetus toward the elbow.

He IHrtplajed 31arrelasa Skill Is Tkrtrw iac t&e Haifc, sad life Ability In Tkat Sixectiea Did Him. a Good Tsrs, as the Drummer S&w . One day in LeadviHe, Cola, I had t - just finished dinner, when a stranger Epoke to me in the hoteL We chatted j far a minute or two, and then the stran- i ger, whose name I afterward learned was Harry Conner, or Black Harry for Ehort, asked me if I was not selling hardware. I told him I was, and he said he wanted to buy a knife. I said I had same knives with me, but only as sam ples, and that, of course, I never sold samples. "WelL" he said, "that's the reason I came to yon. I hunted the town over this morning to find a knife, and I couldn'r find one that was worth carry ing. I thought probably you might have cne or two good ones, and that yon would sell one. I don't care what the price is, so it suits me." I finally con sented to show him what I had. I never saw a man examine a knife as he did one that he selected. I had perhaps 40 different ones, but he gave only a glance at the lot and picked out the best one there in an instant. Picking it up, he weighed it in his hand, turned it over and over, ran the edge of it across the back of his thumb nail, as a barber tries a razor, flicked the point with his nail, scrutinized every frac tional part of the blade and hilt, and then, grasping it firmly, swung his arm in the prettiest sort of knife play, as if testing its weight and balance still more carefully. Then, stepping over to a wooden bottomed chair, he drove the blade squarely through the 14 inch wood with a powerful blow. Then he threw it at a knot in the wooden parti tion that separated my room from the next and left the knife sticking squarely in the knot. "That's a pretty geed throw," I said. "Do yon think so2" he answered in differently, and he stepped over to the partition and drew out the knife, still smiling, and stepping back 12 feet threw it again. This time he struck; the exact spot he had hit at first. I could see but one mark after he had drawn the knife out the second time. "Oh, that's nothing," he said, and with the point of the knife he scratched a rough circle on the wood about the size of a man's hand. Step ping back to where he stood before, he turned his back to the target, and then, looking at it over his right shoulder, he threw the knife over his left, sticking it fairly in the target. Then he reversed the trick, throwing over his right shoul der, and finally, planting himself care fully in the same place, he looked quick ly over his shoulder, and then, turning his face directly away, he threw the knife over his head, striking the same target and leaving the knife an inch deep in the wood. "I want that knife," he Eaid, rather peremptorily, "and I want it just 50 worth." And he pulled a $30 greenback out af his pocket and laid, it on the ta ble. X took the money. I thought a man who could use a knife like that ought to have a good cne. I had started out in the evening to see what was going on and had looked in at three cr four gambling hells before I came to one where Black Harry sat play ing faro. He sat with his left hand to ward the deer, and as I sauntered up to the table he Fmiled a little and nodded, but did not speak. I noticed that he was watching the door. He did not turn his head, but his eyes seemed to be everywhere at once, and, though he was playing steadily, and with fairly good luck, too, I was certain that he saw every motion that anybody made anywhere in the roam, excepting cf course right behind him. Presently I n oticed that he was watch ing a man who was just coming in. The newcomer was a stout built, ugly look ing fellow, who looked carefully around as he entered and "who almost immedi ately saw Black Harry. He started a little, and then, evidently thin king that Connor did not see him, stepped care fully to his right till he was almost be hind where Connor sat. Still Connor did not trim his head, but I could see him watching the other as he stepped Elowly around until he was fairly out of the range even of Connor's remark able eyes. Then I saw Conner suddenly look full at the dealer with a question as plainly expressed as it could have been in wards. So I naturally leaked at the dealer. He gave no sign at first that I could see of even knowing that Connor was in front of him, but went an dealing as if there was nothing else in the world to da Then in an instant his eyes seemed to blaze. When I saw the dealer's sig nal, I looked back at Connor and in an instant saw a tragedy. The newcomer was drawing a revolver, and at the same time Connor was turning his head and throwing the knife I had sold him. He rcse from his chair as he threw it, and the stranger's revolver exploded, but the bullet went wild, far he sank to the floor as he fired, with the point of the knife in his brain. "Gentlemen," said the dealer before any one else could speak, ' 1 say Black Harry done just right. That white Iiv ered cur had swam to kill him on sight and was shoo tin from behind.

"I can tell you howl enco ran an en gine and saved a trainlead of people with an oyster stew If yon want to know, but I den't think of anything more exciting than that ' he said apolo getically. "That's good enough," they all de clared. "Give ns that." "AH right, then, here gees, "he said as he settled back in his chair. "I was once engineer on a read that ran for a long distance through the forests cf northern Wisconsin, and we were fre quently bothered by forest "fires. They were particularly bad at the time I speak of. One dsy I had run through one big blaze, only to find that there was a bigger one ahead. The worst of it was we were low on water, and there was no chance to fill the tank without dashing through the fire ahead of us. I sent the fireman cut to see if we had enough to make the run, but he came back: and told me the boiler was almost dry. ' 'I was puzzled for awhile. It was death to all of ns I knew tc stay there, but how to get cut was the question. Suddenly a happy thought struck me. There was a milk car just behind the first baggage, and I made for it. 'How much milk have ycu got?' I says to the fellow in charge. 'About 40 cans, I guess, ' he answered. 'Why do you askr 'Sever mind, ' says L 'What's that in those cans in the corners' 'Oysters,' he answered. 'But why da you want to know?' 'Never you mind,' I told him, and then I ordered the other train hands who had come up to- see why we had stopped to tote that milk and these oys ters up to the engine. "They did it in spite of the kicking of the milkman, and when they had brought them up I ordered them all chucked into the tank.

Chicago Times-Herald. A Scotch Bess EmmmeL A Scotch weekly paper named Saint .Hun go tells of the costume of seme of the gentry who may be seen walking upon the fashionable streets .of Edin burgh. One citizen is described as fol lows: "Mr. Theodore Napier is a well known figure in Edinburgh. He walks along Princes street in a kilt of royal Stewart or Lennox tartan and usually has a red coat with a dark vest, over the front of which he wears an embroidered belt of scarlet silk instead of plain leather. He is gorgeous with dirks, skene dims, sporrans and other orna ments, and he lets his hair fall to his shoulders under a bonnet that is a cross between Glengary and Balmoral and trimmed with feathers. " The burgher who strides along Princes street, bearing these acconterments, is not a crank. He is a level headed, well composed, thoughtful and wealthy gen tleman, standing high in Edinburgh so ciety. Suppose that a man thus apparel ed and caparisoned were to walk along our streets! What a time there would be! Within the past few years, or since the introduction of bicycling, golfing and other funny sports, some of the men and women in American cities wear costumes the like of which were not to be seen in the old times. But for all that we doubt whether Air. Theodore Napier of Edinburgh would greatly en joy life in this country if he appeared in the public street in the fixtures de scribed by Saint 2Iungo- Hott a Good Bow Is 3iade. 2Iay I tell the history cf my best bow, the dark one nearest the wall?

The bawyer scrutinized it with the connoisseur's knowing eye, found it perfect, laid it up to season. And for five years dream of it far five long years that billet passed from stage to stage, slowly hand worked into a bow. Then yet another vear it was tested and polished before 3 could have it.
