Cayt. Curtis, of the wheat ship Eury
dbc was Id the city today, having ro
ll! rued with his vessel to the West Seat
j tie elevator. He has had an experience
i wltfcVj the past twelve months that
might make many a skipper envious,
having ruled as king a group of tslanlJ
In the Houth Pacific ocean. CapL Cur
tis was the Aral officer of the ship
Flora E. StafTord, which was lost at tea
about a year ago.

I hail kix men with me In one boat
and the captain went In another bait.
My boat headed for fhc Caroline Is
lands. and after fifteen days we came
in sight of land. We were royally wel
| corned by ihe natives, who could not do
enough to honor it*. Iklcklkee, king <»f
the Carollgas, Insisted that he short'd
abdicate hfs throne and make me Ills
successor. I did not assume the royal
garments and robes, for etiquette down
there requires none of them, but I took
Ihe sceptre and ruled river those Islands
for three months. I wooed and won
the ex-king's daughter, and I also gave
out orders against cannibalism, for I
thought some of the Stafford's crew
might drift ashore. My orders were
strictly obeyed, for 1 was an absolute
monarch. They allowed me little time
to sleep. Every night I was competlTl
to start the hoolah-hoolah dances with
the women, snd every day and nlgoi
some delegations of natives from otbnr
Islands in the group would call upon
me to arbitrate In some murder ca-«
These fellows were always killing each
other. I would get Into their cancet
and go with them. 1 would hear tholi
testimony and decide who was qullty
My decision was final and the guilty
man would be shot.
“After remaining on the Island Hire*
months I took passage on the firs

No one was allowed on the streets after
9 o'clock at night. The captain of th«

eight days after the wreck.”

This Is a chapter "concerning Hie col
leetlon." Is there not a suggesllon In the
lad that at every public service of the
■ 'hrlsllun Church "a collection" Is taken?
Here arc hinted some of the principles of
Christian giving.
I. Wc should give to Ihc needs of
Christ's people. Verse I. The appeal
here Is not In behalf of the missionary
cause, nor the support of (he Gospel, nor
"the worn-out preachers," hut in behalf
of Christ’s poor ones. Vet the principle
Is the runic In all Christian giving, livery
man Is our brother, and we should give
him our help, for Ihc life spiritual or the
life material, as he may need II.
II. We should give because our giving
will Influence others to give. Verse 3.
The reports from Achilla Influence Ihc of
fering In Macedonia, and vice versa.
Kveryono starts or helps the current.
There Is a story of a little hoy who
hroughl a couple of bricks to the minis
ter as his contribution toward a new
church. The pastor showed the bricks lo
a rich man, who was touched, ami made
a large subscription. Others followed,
and the church was built,
III. We should give systematically, ac
cording lo a plan. Verses 3-5. Whnt
great results come to pas* when a body
of people unite their efforts and make
lheir offerings for one common purpose!
More than one church has been hum |>y
a people whose united property was not
ecpial to Its cost.
IV. Wc should give generously, bounti
fully. Verse «. bow a handful, and you
will reup a small crop; sow a bushel, uud
you may reap a gruuary full.
V. We should give deliberately, accord
ing lo u purpose (verse 71; not spasmod
ically or by sudden Impulse or under the
Influence of excitement. Giving Is u priv
ilege as well as a duty, and we should
make It a solemn act of service to God
VI. We should give with faith. Verse 8
He who has provided for our needs wili
care for us, Hml will enable us lo abound
for every good work.
VII. Wc should give with thanksgiving
tor God's gifts to us. Verses ti-n. •j|ow
much owest thou unto my Lord?" Let
us count up all God's mercies, and then
make an oiferuig to his cause.
Scleutlttc Cutting.
Men of science sometimes make ex
traordinary demands upon the skill of
instrument-makers. An Interesting il
lustration is furnished by the Instru
ment called "microtome." the purpose
of which is to cut excessively thin
slices, or sections, of various sub
stances. such as animal or vegetable
(issues, for microscopic examination.
Microtomes have recently beeu Invent
ed, which. It Is claimed, can cut suc
Ksalve sections each only one-twelfth
thuuaaudth of an Inch thick! The edge
of the knife which makes such cuts
appear perfectly smooth and straight
when magnified 50 times.

they could about Princess Mary's ma

Mrs. Macfarlane described their recep

"The King was very kind to ns.
He assigned to our use a little wicker
house, containing three rooms, and
six or seven servants, who were al

rival King Paul, attended by a number
