the White Wave, a Calif ornian schooner
employed in seal and other fishing in
tho North Pacific. On September 18.
1879, the srhooncr being within hight
of the Aleutian Islands, a boat was sent
on shore for water, the crew consisting
of Hans Jorgenson and two other sea
men. Hans, having his rifle with him.
had no sooner landed than ho went off
in search of game, and, as he took no
heed of the signal of recall, his mates
returned to the ship without him. A
furious gale sprung up. and for four
days it was impossible for the White
Wave to come anywhere near the
island. At the end of that time a
landing was effected, an I Jorgenson
was lound to be alive ccrtainlj. but
most btr.ingely altered in appearance.
The spare Swede of live feet seven,
with a bald pate and a thin straw-colored
mustache, was transformed into a
man apparently six lect high, co stout
that his clothes would scarcely contain
nun. wiin jus iieau ana lace covered
with a crop of fluffy hair, and seeming

who had been left behind but four days
before.
His explanation of the invstery tUd
did not make the matter more intelli
gible. Having started some wild ani
mals, he followed the chase, all unsuc
cessfully, for miles before thinking of
returning to the boat When he did
think of it, he began to look about him,
and was mightily surprised with his
surroundings. The country was bleak
and barren, nothing but volcanic rocks,
without a single tree or shrub. Here
and there were rents in the earth, at tho
dark bottom of which small but rapid
streamlets sped tortuously along
through masses of lichen, while heavy
volumes of steam, impregnating tho
air with sulphurous odor, rose from

sought for something to breakfast upon;
a fruitless rpiest taking him to the
top of a hill, when, falling backward,
he rolled down a gulch on tho land
side, the stock of his ritlo striking
against and breaking one of a, number
of pebble-like objects, which examiua-
Miell of lime
or sulpliuror something, lie could not
tell exactly what, covering a quantity
of jelly of a light rose-color, composed
of au infinity ot minute cells, through
which stretched a number of tlo'-sy
ligaments. Taking asmall quantity on
his linger, he applied his tongue to it
and swallowed some, but was so dis
gusted with tho t:ite that ho pitched
the shell away, and went back to hi
post, to watch for iho White Wave.
After watching for some hours tho
hungry fellow fell into a deep hlecp,
from which he was awakened by a sen
sation similar to that he had experienced
years before when pulled, half-drowned,
out of one of his native fjords: but his
social standing of the prisoner, who
owned one of the handsomest homes in
Jermyn, a thriving town near the head
of the Lackawaua Valley, and named t
after the prosecutor in the present
cause, caused a great commotion in the
community at the time of his arrc-ft. a
year ago, and few were willing to be
lieve him guilt of embezzling the
funds of his confidinjr emplover. He
had been in Mr. Jermyn's employ hev
entcen years, superintended a Sunday
school, and was looked up U by every
body in the neighborhood as a men I el
mati, whose sobriety, industry and
sterling worth elevated him to a posi
tion of competence and respect. About
ayear ago. however, Mr. Jermvn had
his suspicions arou-ed concerning cer
tain entries and alterations made in the
books of which Uargar had charge.
Tracing the matter closer he discovered
the names of men who had never
worked for him entered upon the pay- ,
roll. He traced this system back for
several years, and in his search was sur
prised to ascertain that his old books
were missing. He finally found them in
an unused garret oluis store, ami when
brought to light they revealed a
state of affairs against Uargar such as
was shown by tho entries already ex
amined. It was ascertained that in
various ways, such as false entries,
drawing pay for men who never
worked, and so on, Itargar had within
live years embe.zled -50,000 of his em
ployer's money. His bon, a young man
of great promise, was in court this
afternoon when Uargar was called for
sentence. The room was well filled,
anil there was a full bench, including
Presiding Judge Handley, Judge Hand
and two associates. There was a death

They wiped their mouths, and the

three dollars in change xvas missing.

If you escape tho fevers until then, you

It begins xxith a shivering fit that
shakes the very room in xvhich tho vic

It sometimes continues for hours. The
teeth chatter, and you feel as if sud

the shivering fit ceases the fever com

perspiration. Tho more yon perspire
the better, for if the patient does not
pcrspiro he is suffering from the worst
kind of Roman fever, called the "per

mans quake xvith terror, for it carries
one off in a couple of hours. Native
Romans think nothing of these fevers:
they do not even call in a doctor if all
goes on well; that is. if the perspira
tion comes out all right They know
exactly what to do, and the fevers have
no more effect on them than that of
keeping them in bed during the actual
fevcrishness. Between the spells, which
return very regnlarly. they cat. drink,
work, walk and go to theaters as if

Tiieke is an Alderman in Detroit who
knows a bale of hay when he eces it a
well as any man living. He was pass
ing up Michigan avenue the other day.
wfien he eamc across a small group of
friends. They had perhaps been wait
ing for him, knowing that he would piss
that x-ay about that hour. They were
standing near a bale of hay marked
"210 pounds." and beside the bale
stood a 'flat-chested, slim-waisted. consumptive-looking
youth of twenty sum
mers, who kept spitting on his "hands
and saying he would shoulder the bale
or die in the attempt-
"I'vc bet ten dollars that he can't"
remarked ono of the group to the Alder
man, as he came to a halt

thcofiicial, as he looked from the man
to the hay.
"I can t, eh?" queried tho consump
tive. "You da.u't put up $10 thai I
can't shoulder this 'ere hay and carry it
across the street and back."
Nothing bnt chain-lightning could
have beat the movements of that Alder
man in pulling out an "X" aad placing
it in the hands of a stakeholder. When
all was ready the consumptive spit on
his hands, shouldered thc bale and took
his walk. The end of the Alderman's
tongue was in sight and his eves could
have beed stepped on ,as the dving not one of them seemed pleasant now.
