A COXSWAIN’S DEED.
How Captain Bellamy’s life was saved
at Tsi-Chau has never yet been told.
Every officer and man who belonged
to the Chrysolite on that disastrous night
recollects, of course, that, while endeav
oring in the darkness to storm the fort,
the captain fell, and that when our peo
ple were driven back headlong to the
boats he, with many others, was miss
ing. Every one remembers also that
when on the following morning the Chi
namen were shelled ont of the place and
the bluejackets and marines again land
ed Captain Bellamy was found lying,
not where he had fallen, but a couple
of hundred yards to the right, sheltered
on the side of the enemy by a thick stone
wall.
His left leg was smashed at the knee
by n jingal ball, bnt. aronnd his thigh
was a bluejacket's silk handkerchief,
neatly applied in snch away that a nickel
tobacco box placed beneath it effectively
compressed the femoral artery and
stopped the bleeding. It was well known
that both box and handkerchief had be
longed to James Larch, the captain's
coxswain, whose dead body, with half a
dozen bullets through it, was found on
the enemy’s side of the same wall. Cap
tain Bellamy himself acknowledged from
the first, that he owed his life solely to
Larch's devotion and skill. Yet the
whole story has never yet been told.
Captain Bellamy's recent death puts me
in possession of his private journal, and
so enables me to tell the tale.
When the Chrysolite was commission
ed at Portsmouth for the China station.
Captain Bellamy took a house at Hong
Kong, and in uue course Mrs. Bellamy
and her only daughter, Violet, followed
him thither. In the second year of the
commission the Chrysolite was at Hong
Kong for several successive months, and
during that period the ladies came on
hoard nearly every day. There were
picnics on shore and water parties afloat,
and if not on the Chrysolite then in the
house, or in the boats, or on the various
expeditions. James Larch, the captain’s
coxswain, was in continual attendance
upon Miss Violet and her mother. Vio
let Bellamy was then barely 18. In
England she had led a somewhat dull
life, and at IIong-Koug she lost no time
in redressing the balance of her exist
ence, which was by no mea ,s dull there.
It was not perhaps her fault that ev
ery officer of the garrison and of the
squadron was either in love with her or
was prepared to be, for she gave no spe
cial encouragement to any one. On the
other hand, she discouraged no one. The
larger the number of her admirers the
greater was the enjoyment which she de
rived from the situation. Among them
she was like a child in a room full of
toys. Some she damaged, some she
smashed irretrievably, but without the
slightest malice or wickedness. She sim
ply had never realized the powers and
responsibilities of a very pretty face and
figure, supplemented by high spirits, nn
tiring activity and abundant health, and
although she spread rain around her she
never for an instant intended to do harm
to anybody.
There were many who suffered. Com
mander Corcoran of the flagship, Major
Browleigh of the Royal Bucks, Staff
Surgeon Bennett of the Bridport, Lieu
tenant Maplin in command of the Borer,
and at least half a dozen sublieutenants
and midshipmen, besides army subal
terns and civilians, were tamed npeide
down by Violet Bellamy. And if these,
who only encountered her at social func
tions, were so seriously upset, it is little
to be wondered at—when we recollect
that human nature is not confined to the
classes—that James Larch waa also over
balanced.
His associations with her were, though,
in one sense, more distant and more
purely conventional than those of any
gentleman in the colony, of a privileged
character. He helped her to mount when
she went for a ride, he wrapped her
cloak around her when she left the ball
room, he carried her a hundred times
from the ship’s boat to the shore, or vice
versa, lest she might wet her feet. Her
breath had fanned his face, her light
form had rested in his arms, and while
he never by word and seldom even by
look betrayed his feelings he neverthe
less steadfastly, and with all his being,
worshiped her.
Larch was a young and smart petty
officer. As such he had a promising ca
reer before him, and no doubt he would
have been wise had he strictly minded
his own business and endeavored to be
content with the sphere in which it had
pleased Providence to place him. But,
like many of his betters, he went down
before Violet Bellamy.
It was at the beginning of the third
year of the commission that the Chryso
lite was suddenly dispatched to Tsi
Chau. There had been a riot and a mas
sacre there, and Captain Bellamy was
ordered to teach the local mandarins a
severe lesson.
One morning the Chrysolite arrived
off the place and sent in certain de-(
mends, which, unless complied with in
three hours, were to be enforced by
means of the resources of civilization.
The three hours elapsed, the demands
wero not gra iiel, and with absolute
punctuality lir^ : vsolite began to shell
the fort from ncr 0 inch 15. L. guns.
The Chinamen b id low and did not re
ply with ho much as a singV shot. Mis
led by their silence. Captain Bellamy
after dusk had fallen led ashore a much
weaker lauding party than he would
have employed had lie anticipated re
sistance. Not until tho men hail tum
bled out of the boats did the enemy often
fire, and then the captain knew he had
made a mistake. He still hoped that he
might avert disaster by rushing the fort,
and ho made the attempt; bat, as has
been already shown, he failed and fell.
His men surged past him for a few
yards, but were tiien repulsed and driv- I
en back pellmolL. In the confusion and
darkness they missed him, and he was
left lying, with his left knee mangled,
to bleed to death or to get a speedier
quietus from one of the many bullets
that were whistling after the retreating
bluejackets.
It is astonishing that he escaped being
hit a second time, for not only were the
Chinamen firing with rifles from the fort,
bat the men in the boats were using their
machine guns. In five minutes, though,
the worst of the storm had passed away,
and with the lull Captain Bellamy saw
a dark figure slowly drawing near him
from the right. He fully expected to
find that his visitor was one of the ene
my armed with a mission to put an end
to him, or perhaps drag him into the
fort, where death might be administered
a little at a time, and though a brave
man he was much relieved when he was
able to distinguish that the newcomer
was one of his own people.
“Beg pardon, sir, I hoped it was you,”
whispered a voice, which the captain at
once recognized at that of his coxswain.
“Hoped?” growled the oaptain. “Wiiat
do you mean by hoping, you scoundrel?
Here I am with my knee smashed, bleed
ing to death!”
“Sad news for Miss Violet,” muttered
Larch.
Uonrouna miss Violet ana you too!
Bear a hand here and pull me out of this
if you can. The beggars will be blazing
away again in a minute."
“Mustn’t move you, sir, till I’ve tied up
your leg,” said Larch, who had already
taken off his handkerchief and was sat
isfying himself as to the position of the
wound and the quantity of blood that
was being lost. “It’s that big artery on
the inside of your leg, sir, that’s got to
be attended to. If you won’t mind my
using my ’baccy box and my handker
chief—so—now, ril twist it close."
“Hang it! You’re twisting my leg off,”
cried the captain.
“Never mind, sir,” said Larch. “I’ve
stopped the”
At that moment the Chinese in the fort
opened fire again.
“What the dickens is the matter with
yon, Larch?” demanded the captain.
For an instant the coxswain, who had
drawn back with a shudder, was silent.
When he spoke, it was with an altered
voice. “They’ve hit me, sir, I think,” he
said.
“Then run, man, and take shelter,”
urged the captain. “I’m all safe now for
an hour or two, if they don’t come out to
look for me.”
“There’s a wall a little to the right,
sir," said the coxswain, who paid no at
tention to his chiefs orders, “and I think
I can get you behind it if you can drag
yourself on to my back as I crawl. Only
don’t disturb the bandage, sir.”
Captain Bellamy, with a great effort,
managed by degrees to work himself on
to the man’s back and to clasp Larch
round the neck. “I hope, Larch, that
you’re not risking too much, but if we
get through this there’ll be a Victoria
cross for yon as certainly as there’ll be a
wooden leg for me."
“Beg pardon, sir," muttered Larch,
who was now crawling slowly with his
bnrden toward the wall, “hut I don’t
want any Victoria cross. Would they
promote me, do yon think, sir?”
“I don’t doubt it, Larch. You’ll get
yonr warrant."
The coxswain stopped suddenly.
“What’s the matter?” cried the captain.
Larch resumed his laborious crawL
“I was only thinking," he explained.
“Won’t you be wiser to defer yonr
thinking until we are under the lee of
that wall?” growled the captain. ‘*If
those fellows fire any more, we’re done
tor."
The coxswain made no reply, but
dragged himself on, yard by yard, until
at length he gently deposited his load be
'hind the thick stone shelter. As he made
a motion as if to return whence he had
come the captain cried: “Stay in here,
yon idiot. Where the dickens are yon
going?”
Larch sank down by the captain’s side.
“Beg pardon, sir,” he said after a pause,
“but may I speak my mind out to you
just for this once as between man and
man?”
“Certainly you may," replied the cap
tain, somewhat astonished at the ques
tion.
Having got permission. Larch neither
hesitated nor attempted to restrain him
self. His confession came with a rush.
•Tve been a fool," he said. “I knew it1
all along, only I wouldn't see it. Fve
had mad dreams of promotion, not to a
warrant only, but to a commission. I’ve
thonght of nothing but her. Tve kissed
the earth she has trodden upon. I’ve
hoped; I’ve prayed. Look in that ’baccy
box when they take off your bandage,
and you’ll find a bit of her hair that I
begged from her maid. Vet I know
quite well that it can’t be. For her sake
I wouldn’t have it to be if it could be. 1
And there’s only one end to it. She
mustn’t know, but I can tell yon, sir,
that, thongh you are my captain, it
wasn’t for that that I went out to look
for you tonight. It was because you are
her father—Miss Violet’s—and may God
bless her and forgive mel”
He staggered to his feet, and without
another word bent his head and dashed
toward the fort, firing his revolver wild
ly as he went.
The enemy answered with a volley,
and the captain heard the coxswain fall
on the other side of the wall.—W. Laird

A NOVEL RACING MATCH.
t.iboygafilng Down a Run on Hocking
Morgen to Decide a Wacer.
There is no knowing what an Eng
lishman will not do to decide a bet.
Men have jumped across dining tables,
mounted upon untructable steeds—yea,
And oven kissed their own mothera-in
law in order to sottle a wager. In fine,
it ought to be an established maxim
among us by this time that, given a cer
tain number of impossibilities and an
equal ruiiuiier of young Englishmen,
those impossibilities will not long re- ■
main such, provided they be made the
subjects of bets.
One of those incidents which go a
long way toward justifying the reputa
tion which as a nation of madmen wc
have earned among foreigners occurred
at St. Moritz when, "in order to settle
a bet," Lord William Manners and the
Hon. H. Gibson agreed to go down the
village "mn" mounted on rocking
horses in place of ordinary toboggans.
A feature of the race was that both
competitors were "attired in full hunt
ing kit," and as elaborate preparations
had been made for the contest and ru
mor of the affair had been industriously
noised abroad the crowd which had as
sembled to witness it was both large
and distinguished.
The start was fixed for 12 o’clock,
and shortly before that hour the shouts
of the spectators announced that the
horses were off. Unlike the custom in
toboggan races, both started at the same
time. In the first course Lord William
Manners led as far as a certain angle of
the "ran” called Casper’s Corners, from
the fact that a hotel of that name is
situated close by, but ”taking it rather
high Mr. Gibson passed cleverly on the
inside, which ha maintained to the fin
ish,” Lord William being summarily
dismissed from his fractious steed’s
back some distance to the bad from the
winning post.
in tne second course Lord William
Manners again had the advantage as far
as Casper's Corners, where Mr. Gibson
again tried to pass him on the inside,
but being jockeyed by his opponent his
horse swung round and proceeded down
the run tail foremost, but leading. The
merriment of the spectators at this
stage of the proceedings may be more
easily imagined than described, nor did
it abate in the least when Mr. Gibson,
dismounting, seized it unceremoniously
by the nose and turned it into the way
it should go.
Meanwhile Lord William Manners
had suffered disappointment a second
time, for in attempting to “take”—to
use a true hunting term—a paticularly
awkward part of the “run” called Bel
vedere Corner his horse refused to re
spond to its rider’s exertions to get it
successfully over the obstacle, and horse
and jockey came down to the gronnd in
one tnmnltuous somersault together.
Lord William’s discomfiture proved
to be Mr. Gibson’s opportunity. The
time and ground that the former bad
lost by his involuntary flight through
the air were never recovered. Mr. Gib
son, with the position of his horse re
versed and bis legs thrust scientifically
in front of him, rode easily and trium
phantly forward and eventually reached
the winning post some seconds in ad
vance of his opponent.—Alpine Post.
His “Love" Text.
The story is related of a bishop who
came to one of oar state prisons and
was told: “No need of you here, sir.
We have eight preachers safely locked
up who are brought out each Sabbath
to minister to their fellow prisoners.”
If this appear a doubtful tale, it can be
varied with the following about a young
lady Snnday school teacher who has a
class of rather bright boys averaging
between 7 and 9 years.
Recently she requested each pupil to
come on the following Sunday with
some passage of Scripture bearing upon
love. Tbe lads heeded the request and
in turn recited their veraee bearing upon
that popular subject, each as “Love
your enemies,” “Little children, love
one another, ” etc. The teacher said to
the boy whose tarn came last, ’ Well,
Robbie, what is yonr verse?” Raising
himself up be responded: “Song of Sol
omon, second chapter, fifth verse, ‘Stay
me with flagons, comfort me with ap
ples, for I am sick of love.”'—Ex
change.
Color and Warmth.
The color of materials has some In
fluence on the warmth of the clothing.
Black and blue absorb beat freely from
without, but white and light shades of
yellow, etc., are far loss absorbent
This difference can be demonstrated by
experiment. The same material, when
3yed with different colors, will absorb
Sifferent amounts of heat. In hot coun
tries white coverings are universally
worn, and sailors and others wear white
clothing in hot weather.
With regard, however, to heat given
aff from the body the color of the ma
terials used as clothing makes little if
any difference. Red flannel is popu
larly supposed to be warm, though it is
no better in this respect than similar
materials of equal substance, but white
>r gray in color. Dark clothing is best
for cold weather, because It more freely
absorbs any heat that is obtainable.—

MORPHINE’S NEW ANTIDOTE.
Dr. Moor Telia How He Made tho Dlioov
ery and of His Kxperimenta.
Dr. William Moor, whoso discovery
of permanganate of potassium as au an
tidote for morphine poisoning has made
him famous, has written a paper npon
the subject which has been published in
;; well know i medical periodical. In
this he treats tho subject almost al
together, as might he expected, in a
technical manner, fie tells, however,
of the investigations that led to his dis
covery in the following words:
•‘After some trials 1 found that the’
best way of administering it was to
have it made op in pills with cacao
butter and talcum of kaolin, and to di
rect tho patient to drink very slowly a
glassful of water just one minute after
taking the pill, for the latter begins to
disintegrate in one minute at the tem
perature of the body. By using this
method 1 successfully combated the ex
tremely disagreeable odor in a case of
cancer of the stomach.
“About that time 1 treated a well
known actor suffering from acute pleu
risy. This gentleman was addicted to
morphine, and as I had taken much in
terest in him I earnestly sought the best
plan to break his habit. The idea oc
curred to me that perhaps permanga
nate of potash might decompose mor
phine, the latter being an organic sub
stance, and that by making use of a
certain method I could eventually break
his habit without restricting him from
taking his morphine. My patient, how
ever, started on a professional tour jnst
when I began to pnt my idea to a test.
This circumstance did not prevent me
from continuing my researches as to
the effect of permanganate of potassium
on morphine, and today I am permitted
to offer to the profession what I consider
to be the antidote ‘par excellence’ for
morphine. ”
Then considering in detail the pecul
iar effects of the antidote when differ
ently administered Dr. Moor continues:
“Having gained the knowledge ot
these facts, it is not surprising that I
could swallow with impunity toxic
doses of sulphate of morphine followed
in a few momenta by a corresponding
amount of the chemical body which
I was justified to consider the antidote
par excellence for morphine. Thus on
one occasion four hours after a full din
ner, at a time when the stomach must
have contained a groat amount of solu
ble peptones and other organic matter,
I took two grains of the sulphate of
morphine in about half of an ounce of
water, followed in one minute by three
grains of its antidote—tor safety’s sake
one grain more than necessary—dis
solved in four ounces of water, in an
other instance three hours after a light
sapper I took in the presence of several
colleagues belonging to the staff of the
West Side German clinic of this city
three grains of the sulphate of mor
phine, followed in about 30 seconds by
four grains of permanganate of potas
sium, both in aqneous solution. I was
perfectly confident that the antidote pos
sessed such a wonderful infinity for the
morphine that it would select it instan
taneously from amoDg the contents of
the stomach.
“In case of poisoning by any of the
salts of mcrpbia 10 to 15 grains of the
antidote dissolved in six or eight ounces
of water should be administered at once
and repeated at intervals of 30 minutes
three or four times, or even more often.
Permanganate of potassium as well as
the salts of manganese are compara
tively harmless, even if given in large
quantities."
Dr. Moor continues: “In cases of
poisoning by the alkaloid itself or by
tincture of opinm (laudanum), also by
opium, it is advisable to acidulate the
antidotal solution with dilated sul
phuric acid, or in the absence of this
with some white vinegar—not red vine
gar—by which the insoluble morphia
will be at once converted into the solu
ble sulphate of acetate. I have strong
reason to believe that tbe administra
tion of permanganate will be of bene
ficial effect even after absorption of the
morphine has taken place.”
Age* of Stone and of Bronze.
The transition from the stone age to
the bronze age can be read in the dis
closures of the lake dwellers of Switzer
land. This wonderfnl people lived
through the stone age and for long ages
continued on until they lapped over
into the bronze age. Some of their set
tlements disclose only stone implements,
while others of a later date show the
bronze chisel, tbe bronze winged hatch
st, the bronze knife, tbe hexagonal ham
mer, the tanged knife of ornamental de
sign, the socket knife and the bronze
sickle. They show also tbe bronze fish
hook, barbed and in exact similitndeof
our present device. The ornamental
hatpin as now nsed, together with other
articles of utility and ornamentation,
is plentiful. The stone mold for cast
ing the copper or bronze hatchet is of
sxceedingly ancient date, but probably
the use of sand was far more common,
and hence we have less traces of that
method.—Hardware.

MARCH. APRIL AND MAY
Is the Season for Catarrhal Dys
pepsia—The Bi.ood Must
be Cleansed.
The symptoms of catarrhal dyspep
sia are: Coated tongue, pain or heavy
feeling in the stomach, sour stomach,
belching of gas, dizzy head, sometimes
headache, despondent feelings, loss of
appetite, palpitation of heart, and irreg
ularity of bowels.
For this condition Pe-ru-na is found
to be an admirable remedy. In all
cases it brings prompt relief to the pain
ful symptoms, and in a large per cent,
of the cases it makes a permanent cure.
Pe-ru-na soothes the inflamed mucus
surface, and thus strikes at the root of
the disease. In cases where the inflam
mation has been so severe and continued
as to produce extreme irritability of the
stomach the remedy may be taken in
small doses at first, diluted in water;
but, as soon as the improvement is
sufficient 10 permit a full dose to be
taken undiluted, it is a better way, and
the cure is much more rapid. Pe-ru na
