The older seamen were engaged il haulincr the chosts out of the boat fmm alonrsida . and stowing them awav In the forecastle. Old CapU Gardner was standing orl the tiuurtordeck engagea in conversa . a 1 . tlon with tbe owners wnen ne ie light touch on his arm and, turnlni around, he saw a slight, boyish figun atandlnff beside bim. What do you want?" asked Capt Gardner. Would you please tell me where am to ca sir?" the boy asked. All i-lo-ht mv lad: here, steward. take this boy and show him down inf tha steeratrw: tell the boat-steereri that this vouner man has come oc board as steerage boy for them, an thev must be kind to him." Turning to the owners again h remarked. -That is a bright-looking boy. and I think be will make hi mark before the voyage is up." Captain Gardner then gave the orl der lo weigh anchor; . our mate. in Folger, took his station on the knlghfl heads, and the men commenced s heave away at the windlass. Can't any of you singP" asked th mate. "I can. sir." said a voice from th after part of the try worka and turn ing around the mate saw tbe steeragt bov standinc with his hat in hi band. All riffbt my lad. come forward, jump up on the sampson post and le her go." The bov did as be was old, an Iumning from tbe deck to tbe top the samnson Dost he sane with a ful tenor voice the well known sallo song beginning: O many fa lie darkniali', I courted the captain's daughter. (Chorus) Hurrah, mv rolling river! The men joined heartily in th a a J. 1 B. chorus. j It was now eight bells, and as we were well out of the sound the pilot said he would take his leave of us. Then everybody shook bands with everybody else. Tbe pilot boat, which had followed u& came along side; owners, friends, boarding house runners and all but the ship's crew left us. and cheer upon cheer was given as we parted company. For the next few days we made good headway, getting farther and farther out into the Atlantic. The green bands were all seasick, so the working of the ship fell on the older seaman. The steerage boy was much liked by all on board, and when tbe first mate picked out the watches he chose the boy in his watch. One morning, after we had been to sea about two weeks, the cry of por poises was rained, and all made a rush for the bow to sea who would be first to get tbe harpoon, wfiich was kept on the martingale under, the bow sprit . j The boy was the one. IIo grabbed the harpoon and. with a swift and sure aim, be drove it through odo of the porpoise3 as they swam under the bow. In a twinklo the fish was hauled up to th j knighthead. Capt. Ga dner praised tbe boy, for he was the first one to strike or harpoon a fish on the voyage, and it was con sidered a mark of honor to do' that on a whaler. " ' Every day two of the men would take their turn at the masthead look ing for whales, and one morning the cry of "There she blows!" came from aloft Capt Gardner took bis spyglass and went aloft He had hardly reached the masthead before he or dered all hands to bo called, for off the starboard bow was a large sperm whale. We lowered our boat and bad gone about a mile when the whale broke water close to the third mate's boat "Stand up!" cried Mr. Osborn. and Peter, the (lay Head Indian, who was his boat ateerer or harpooner. thippotl In his paddle, jumped to his feet and the mlnuto Lo drovo his Iron chock up to the grommets into the whale's body.

Stern all!" said the of ficer; but it was too late, for with one weep of his ponderous flukes, the whale lifted the boat high in the air and stove a big hole ia her bow. The boat filled with water and upset while the whale went off to the windward, lashing the water with his Dukea Mr. Folger, being to the windward, pursued hint and hi boat steerer struck him ngaln. The wha'e then sounded, and when he came up again the mate drove la his long lance. Capt Gardner hud lowered the starboard bow boat (commonly called the captain's boat) and had gone to the rescue of the third tttate and Its t-rew, who were hanlrif on to the botlom of the sloven boL The steerage loy wae pulling the after oar tu the tai'lala't boat W hen they recbed the ato.ea boat one of the men. who was e-hauitml with holding un to tae boat's leL M go and tank tneu the water, an yet! sc Vtrt," a ted Captain Gardner, Ye"i;r!e4 the men, lie U Ugid tn the birfbit of the ropta hanging from tbe tall under the boat" While this cwveriUe wt ta tlnf will lose our aoce, lor we are close on to inera.' The boy regained himself and once more the boat shot ahead. Stand up, "yelled the officer to the Portuguese boat-stearer, and Manuel jumped to his feet for down beneath tbe boat could bo seen the whale almost ready to break water again. , At that moment the boat stopped with a jerk, and the steerage boy fell exhausted from bis oar, which had cramped with him. Oh. you villain! what do you mean?" cried the officer. "We have lost tbe whale!" and at that moment the whale broke water ahead of tbe boat BTbe boy made no answer, but lay pate on tbe thwart of the boat "You young rascal I will teach you better than to come in my boat and make me lose a whale!" Seizing the bight of tha towline from the stern sheet of the )oat be was on the point of striking him with it when the boy's Hps were seen to move, and he whispered: Don't Mr. Foiger. please don't!" "I will.".' cried the thoroughly ex. cited officer. The boy struggled to his knees, and clasping his hands, said: You do not dare to strike me, for I am Oh, my Cod! 1 am a woman!" and fell forward in a swoon at the officer's feet When she came to her senses in the cabin she told be captain that she had run away from home because her family were not kind to her. bhe sa'V an advertisement in the papers that a boy was wanted on board a whaling ship, and having always lived in New Bedford, and understand ing tbe customs of whsjemen, she had dressed in boy's clothe, cut off her hair and applied for the position, and cot n man on thnt ship suspected her sex until the disclosure in the boat Capt Gardner parted off a section of the cabin and placed it at her dis posal They got some cloth out of tbe ship's slop chest and she made dresses for herself out of it After awhile we became as used to her and liked her as well In dresses as wo hnd when she was n boy. It was with regret that we parted from her when the ship arrived at Fayal, where the captain gave her in charge of the American consul when she wns sunt bhek to America. Whether she ever forgave the second orfcer for striking at her 1 cannot telL but at her marriage in New Hedfcrd. whU h took place some time afterwurd.

I felt the distance be- continually lessening, and, h I was conscious of mv Derll- ltion, I seemed powerless to it, and, what may seem to be trange, had no desire to do so; approach nearer the object under different circumstances, have been one of terror rather attraction.

Now I was in a kneel ing position, my body inclining for ward, my right hand extended, grad ually nearing tho snake, not in a straight line, but OHcillating, ahd at each movement lessening the dis tance. '' From the first moment that I caueht the eves of the rent lie there seemed a lint extending from each of his eyes to mine about the size of an ordinary sewing thread, which seemed to exert a power over me sufficient to bold me in the first position and make me subservient to his will. "How long I remained in this po sition I know not. Tho colored nyin becoming uneasy at my prolonged abnence conmenced calling me. I could distinctly hear him, but bad no power to answer. Finally searching for me he found me in the attitude described. He again called to me, but as before I paid no attention to him. Then he came nearer and dis covered the huge reptile within a few feet of me coiled for tlw deadly spring, my right hand within a few inches of his mouth, each gazing intently, into the other's eyes. He comprehended the situation at once, took hold of me violently and threw me backward from the snake, thus partially breaking the spell. No effort was made by the snake to escape. The negro at once killed the anake, while I all tbe time was begging him not to do so. It measured about six feet in length and fourteen inches in circumference and had eight rattles. . "I was so completely under the in fluence of the snake that I could not shake it off, nor, in fact, had any dis position to do so. The hallucination was not only pleasant, but exhilarat ing, and there was only lacking one undefinable something I could not tell what, but it seemed almoat with in my grasp to make my happiness complete. So powerful was the effect upon my system that I was stricken down with a severe spoil of sickness." A Ticket-IJeatroy lug Machine. An old machine, made several years ago for destroying railway tickets, has been introduced on a large scale to meet the requirements of the West African rubber merchants in the cut ting up of raw rubber into shreds. By this process the moisture is ex uded, and the rubber can be packed into less space for shipment The machine consists of two sets of disks with very sharp edges, carried on a wooden frame. These disks are placed at suitable distances and slightly in tersect each other. Above them is a wide-mouthed hopper. Each set of disks, which are driven by hand with ordinary gear, revolves towards the renter of the machine, and as the raw rubber is fed into the machine it is immediately grasped and cut into shreds, which are combed out under ueath and discharged.

I am only a little night lamp, and I fill a very small part in the world's doings. 1 burn away In a small rcom; the feeble fringe of my subdued light falls upon the white face of a boyish friend there on the small cot, say the Washington Post I see the nurse come and go, and now and then I hear a word or two, lightly spoken, be tween a woman and a kindly faced gentleman who often looks at his watch, touches the wrist of the boy in the cot and shakes his head with an air of resignation. v When the sun goes down red and beautiful and the flitting shadows are twinkling os the white wall nurse eomes in the room and pulls the shade at the window.then she kindles my slender spark, and I, the little" Night Lamp, am placed on a she" near the head of the bed. where I can look down and hear all that passes during the long night. You, walking outside in the keen and nipping wintry night, no doubt have often seen the glimmer which I send out in the darkness, and, look ing up, say to yourself that here is the great hospital of the city, where life and death linger, side by side, brothers and friends. In the early morning, in the deep night, in the gray.dawn, I, the Night Lamp, burn away, . hour after hour: round about the room is so still. I hear my friend speak sometimes. I see the nurse smooth his hot pillow. I love the boy and I love the woman, for they both are so tender and good. One night not long ago I heard the boy say in the deep night: "Christmas is coming soon now; will I be well enough to go home again?" "There, there," said the nurse, lovingly. "Yes, my boy; soon you will go home; you will go homo again; then you will be so happy. All your friends will be there, and Christmas will be glad for you all." I, poor little Night Lamp, never heard of such a thing as Christmas, nor did I know what the boy meant; but the lad brightened so under his thoughts that I rejoiced in his pleas ure, and I burned more cheerily that night until tbe gray dawn streaked the Eastern hills. The nurse came and snuffed my glow and I went out with a splutter; nor do I recall more. I noticed as I paused away th at the woman's eyes were red, as though she had been weeping. . I was not lighted the next night, nor the next nor the next. ' Some days later the nurse came in again and kindled my wick, 'and in great joy I looked about to see my boyish friend. A new faco peered at me from tha white cot. In the long watches of tbe night, now, I often wonder where my boy has gone. ..- . GOLD FOUND IN A GRAVE. 'I Discovery by Men Who Were Boryleg an Unfortunate1 Prospector. Gold was discovered in California in 1848 and in Colorado in 1868. The discovery was accidental in both ca ses, and the fact created the impres sion that mines were '"lying around loose." Adventurers drifted about in hope of 'stumbling, upon a mine.' Mr. Thayor, in his "Marvels of the New West," mentions several instan ces of "lucky , stumbling." Three men, while looking for gold In California, - discovered - the dead body of a man, who evidently had been "projecting." ' "Poor fellow!" said one of the trio. "He has passed in his checks." '"Let's give hirn a decent burial,"' said an other. "Some wife or mother will be glad if she ever knows it." They be gan to dig a grave. Three feet be low the. surface thoy discovered signs of gold. The stranger was buried ia another place, and where they had located a grave they opened a gold mine. ' An adventurer who had drifted into Leadvlllo awoke one morning without food or money. He went out and shot a deer, which, in its dying agonies, kicked up the dirt and disclosed signs of gr id. The poor man staked out a "cli' a" and opened one of the most profitable mines ever worked in Iead- Villa. "Dead Man's Claim," the name given to another rich mine in Load vlllo, was discovered by a broken down miner while digging a grave. A man died when there were several feet of snow on the ground. His comrades bid the body in a snow bank and hired a man for t'.'O to dig a grave. While excavating he bad struck gold. Forgetting the corpse and his bargiin, ho thought only of the fact that ho had "struck it rich." But these "stumblings" are excep tions to the rule tbat mines are found by painstaking. Intelligent pros pee tors. They nd wearisome months In exploring mountain and gulohe. They are mineralogist, geologists, and. above all, practical explorer, who can tell from a "twist'1 in the grain of the m k or from the color ot a par scam whether "paying gold' can be mined in the region.
