WENT MAD ON A WRECK. "SailhoP "Where away? "Two points off tlie weather-Bow, sir.' "Gin you make her out?" "2fo, sir." "llcnort to the captain, orderly," said the oflieer of the deck to the marine stationed at tlic cabin door, "that a siil has been reported from aloft two points oH the weather-lniw, but that the lookoutcannot make her out yet."' Meantime a little group of oilicers had gathered aft, and the men on the forecastle had crowded close to the weather-rail, and all eagerly scanned the horizon, for a sail in that portion of the western ocean was no common thing to see. It was a dull, threatening after noon in June, and the sloop-of-war Croydcn was bowling along close hauled on the port tack, about two hundred miles to the westward of the Azores. Ilail the lookout again," said the captain, "if he can make anything out of her now." "It looks like a wreck, sir," came back the answer from the topsail yard. Sow wc could plainly make her out as she swashed and wallowed iu the waves. She had been bark rigged, but the foremost had been carried away close to the deck, while the bowsprit and headbooms held by a tangled mass of rigging, trailed from her bow. The upper masts of the main and mizzen were also gone, and the only remnant of a sail that could be seen were the main topsail yard arms. She was very deep in the water, and now and then, as she fetched a heavy lurch, a sea would plunge across her deck and gush and gurgle from the scuppers, and the only sign of life was the sea birds that, frightened from their perch upon the vessel's masts, circled round and round and with shrill cries uttered their displeasure. The Croi'den was hove to a short distance to leeward, and a boat at once dispatched to the deserted ves sel. The ollicer in charge was or dered to make a thorough search, and to gain all the information possible concerning her, and if he should 11 ml that the ship had been abandoned, as seemed probable, he was to blow her up with the torpedoes furnished to the boat, as in her present condition she was a danger to navigation. "Keep a good lookout for j'our re call," shouted the captain, as the boat shoved off, "for it looks as if we might have some bad weather before long." It was a hard pull to reach the wreck, and a dillicult matter to board her, but by careful management the boat was shot under the counter, and one of the crew, seizing a rope's end that hung over the side, quickly raised himself upon her deck, and then, throwing a line to those in the boat, she was soon secured, and one by one the men clambered over the stern. A scene of desolation met our eyes. Forward, the forecastle house had been swept away, and one of the an chors, torn adrift from its lashings, had pounded "an ugly hole in her l)ow. Aft, the waves had smashed in the cabin bulkhead and broken into fragments the cabin littings, while overhead the splintered wreck of masts, held by rigging whitened by the spray, thrashed to and fro with every roll of the ship. Across the stern in tarnished gilt letters was her name, "Henrietta." She was lumber laden, and that was why she was still afloat. But why and when was she abandoned? The only places wc could search for any clew as to the mystery were under the topgallant forecastle and in the wreck of the cabin, for down below every thing was awash. We could And nothing in the cabin to show that it had once been the abode of human beings but a thorn and water-soaked peajackct under a pile of debris in one corner. It was a gruesome thing to handle, this discarded garment of its absent owner. The pockets were searched, but the only thing they con tained was a flat piece of wood a foot long, perhaps, and six or eight inches wide. But on this, scratched with sorao instrument, possibly a nail, were these words: "Sprung a leak la gale, May 10th. Pumps choked: waterlogged. Abandoned ship 15th, latitude 14.10 north, longitude 39.25 west; nine men, provisions for two weeks." That was all. These words had becn.dug into the wood as the most lasting way In which could be pre served the record of their disaster and placed in the pocket of the coat,since this would most likely be one of the lirst things to attract the eye of search. -. "Well," said the Lieutenant in charge of iheboat, after wc had all examined the writing, "there is noth ing moro for us to do but blow her up, so get the torpedoes read-" "The recall is hoisted, sir!" cried the man who had been stationed to keep a lookout on the ship, and sure enough a blue flag with a white center 6t reamed out from the mizzeu-royal masthead of the Croydcn. "Very well! Look alive and man the boat!" shouted the Lieutenant, as glancing to windward he saw a heavy squall of wind and rain sweep ing down upon us. If it had been a difficult matter to board the vessel it was much more difficult to . abandon lfer, but one by one we man aged to let ours2lvcs down the line into the plunging boat beneath, but not without many a scratch and bruise. Quickly the men took their places on the thwarts and the bow oarsman stood by to cast off the line that held us. "All ia?" asked the Lieutenant "All In but Thomas, sir," replied the coxswain, dancing at the crew. "Where is he did anybody' see Thomas?" inquired the Lieutenant, anxiously, - "Sing out for him one of you," and one of the men standing up in the boat put his hands to his month and shouted through them, "Thomas! Thomas !" " And as he did so a man came rush ing aft from the forecastle house, but with such a look of terror on his blanched face that few of us rccog uized him as our shipmate. "A skeleton! a skeleton!" he screamed, and then fell headlong on the deck. "A skeleton," cried the Lieutenant. "Pull the boat in a little and I will see what it is." The bow oarsman stooped to do so, but as he did so a heavier sea than usual tore under the vessel's stern. The line that held us, already worn and chafed, stranded under the added strain, and the blinding squall broke upon us and carried the boat faraway to leeward. Bravely the oarsman struggled to regain the ship, but the boat was too small and the seas were heavy, but the wind was now blowingfuriously, and slowly at first, but soon faster and faster, wc drifted away fiom her. We could see the unfortunate man, now running back and forth on the deck like some caged animal and now standing on the rail as if about to plunge into the sea. "Jump, and we'll pick you up!" shouted the lieutenant. But the wind caught the wordsand bore them faraway and he did not hear them, or if he did his courage failed him and he dared not do it, and soon the mist and rain closed in about the vessel and shut him from our sight. It was a desperate pull lo reach the ship, and when we caught the line thrown to us from the Croydcn the boat was half filled with water. That night for us on board the ship was an anxious one. The squall that had caught us in the boat was but the beginning of a gale, and the Croydcn was soon lyinir to under storm sails with barely steerage way. The mem ory of that poor fellow on the water logged bark with his ghastly ship mate was ever present, and few of us who had seen his terror-stricken countenance got much sleep that night Happily towards morning the gale showed signs of abating, and be fore the break of day the sea, which had risen so suddcnl, began to go down, and as soon as it was possible wc lowered a boat. The Croyden had drifted more to leeward than the wreck, but wc could soon make her out on the horizon, and the well selected crew, with long and steady stroke, soon shortened the dis tance. As we drew nearer the form of Thomas could be seen, leaning against the rail. "Thank Heaven! he's still alive!" exclaimed Mr. Horton, the officer in charge of the boat. When we came within hailing distance we shouted to him words of cherry grctting; but Thomas made no response until when within a few boats' length he sprang to the rail and, screaming to keep off, hurled pieces of wreckage which lie had gathered about him at the ad vancing boat. "He's mad!" we cried; Vthc night on board has made him mad." Wc stopped pulling, and then backed water to keep clear of the missiles which the maniac never ceased throwing at us. Ordering the crew to lay on their oars, Mr. Horton rose in the stern sheets and said: "We've come to take you back to the ship, Thomas. Don't you know us? Don't you know me? I am Mr. Horton?" "Know you!" shouted back the poor fellow, "of course I do. Haven't I been lighting to keep you off my ship for the last week? Ha! ha!" he laughed, "and I've done it, too. One boat's length nearer and I'll blow j'ou out of the water!" We hesitated, undecided what to do. Of course wc might dash up and board the ship, but then there was danger that Thomas, in his present excited state, might throw himself into the sea and be drowned, and so it was deemed best to act with cau tion, aud if possible to gain a foot hold bj- stealth, and then to seize and put him in the boat. Wc pulled slowly around the ship, Mr. Horton by soothing words endeavoring to calm the maniac, who followed us as wc circled about, and with many threats warned us to keep away. When wc reached the other side a horrible sight met our eyes. Propped up against the stumps of the mizzen rest was the skeleton which Thomas had dragged from beneath the fore castle, and the grinning jaws and sightless sockets were surmounted by his own ragged cap. Around the bones he had drawn the old pcajacket found in the cabin and the long aud whitened Angers hung limp below the sleeves. And as the ship plunged and lurched the arms swung to and fro and rattled against the mast, while the shiny head bobbed and bobbed in hideous salutation. "Horrors!" cried Mr. Horton; "I can't stand that. Give way, my lads, and board her!" Wc shot the boat through the water and in aii instant had gained the vessel's deck. The moment the boat touched the side Thomas fled and, grabbing the skeleton as he ran with a swiftness born of the terror that possessed him, mounted the rig ging, and clutching the dangling bones with one hand and the shrouds with the other, gazed down upon us with fear-distended C3res. With fair words and promises we tried to tempt him down, but' there he hung, a terror-stricken maniac. Jf we ap proached he would ascend still higher on his treacherous support, until at last, crouching on the extreme end of the swinging mast, he swept back and forth with the rolling ship. Every moment we feared- that his hold would loose, but he, apparently fearless of everything but us, gave heed to nothing but our movements down below. There seemed no es cape for him now except by tho sea, and while some of us manned the boat and stood ready to pick him up should he jump others climbed cautiously up either side of the mast to seize him. He betrayed no sign that he ob served the men as slowly tljey ap proached, and we hoped that his mad, ncss was leaving him and his own quiet nature returning, when just as one of his pursuers was about to stretch forth his hand and lav it on him he sprang to his feet. With a wild shriek he hugged the skeleton to his breast and hurled himself into the sea. and the bubbles that floated up from his fleeting breath as he and his ghastly comrade shot into the ocean's depth marked his grave for an instant and then were swept away by the hurrying waves. Half an hour later the Henrietta was blown into a thousand fragments and shortly after the Croydon making, all sail speedily left behind her the floating debris of the abandoned ship. New York Advertiser. JuTsalta Autographic Mend. It is to be regretted that the juvenile custom of going West tc "light Injuns" has fallen into decad ence. The boj-s now stay at home and collect autography which i3 a much more malignant' occupation. In the old, gentle .days, when the autograph collector was a scholar in his way, he was courteous and endur able. Kow that he is only a scholar in the public schools he is -truculent multitudinous and' abominable. Mr. Bcccher used to say that when one thinks enough of you to write a letter asking for your autograph and. to inclose a stamp for reply the least you can do is to gratify him. That was well enough when there were per haps a hundred autograph collectors in the country. Now it is different! Autograph-hunting "breaks out"' in a school like measles. All the boys and girls are attacked with it at oace, but the Health Board never closes the school on that account and so the in fection spreads without restraint. The young licggars know nothing about you and care nothing. They are engaged iu a competitive collection to sec who can get the largest number of autographs. They learn from some library catalogue or similar work that you have written soma books or made some speeches or painted some pictures. They get your, address spelling your name wrong if that is practicable and send you courteous, llbbing requests for jour autograph, assuring you that they are so iu love with your work that the absence of your autograph from their otherwise complete collec tion is an occasion ofgrietand pining to them. You usually receive about eleven letters of this kind in a batch, all postmarked alike and all written in an unformed handwriting, indicat ing that the writers have been learn ing chirography from identical copies. It means that the more alert youth of some school have just heard of you. If you do not answer you presently receive truculent reminders that "stamps" were sent for a reply, as if any human lcing might establish a valid claim to a written answer to an impcrtinentlettcrbyinclosingstamps. The thing was not so bad at first. When the stimps were simply inclosed busy authors threw the letter into the waste-basket and preserved the stamps. These sometimes made an appreciable addition to meagre liter ary incomes. But the boys have ba filed that. They now send a stamped and addressed envelope, which "not enriches"' the victim by a single mill. "The custom of "going West to tight Injuns"' was comparatively harmless. It ought to be revived. New York Wrorld. Electricity vs. Kerosene. Some time ago wc publishca u brief paper in which it was demon strated that under favorable circum stances the electric light could com pete not only with gas but with the kerosene lamp. The statement seemed at first sight an extraordinary end, but a little investigation showed that there were good and sufficient reasons for the observed fact, aud this even at American prices for oil. Elsewhere the difference in cost may be yet more striking, and a fine ex ample of a case perhaps exception ally favorable to electricity may be found in the city of Madrid. An ar ticle in one of the Spanish .papers recently contained a long review of the facts with details as to cost. It appears that in the city mentioned the cost of'oil Is as high as 20 cents per pint, while gas costs about 82.35 per thousand cubic feet. Figuring out the cost in Madrid of an oil lamp of say 10 c. p. burning five hours per day, it appears that the total expense amounts to about $1.06 per month. There are plenty of places both in this country and abroad where the clcc trie light companies would be glad to furnish even a 10-c p. light at that rate. Low candle power lamps, how-, ever, arc comparatively little used in this country. By turning to the London experience wc find that tho 10-cp. electric lamp could be fur nished at current rates at .about 75 cents per month. In the ordinary practical use of kerosene lamps where a number are kept lighted through out the evening,as was the case in tho paper previously mentioned, the re result would,, be even more in faver of electricity, particularly if supplied by meter, for economy can be practised with electric lightning better even than with gas. From this bit of foreign experience it becomes evident enough that there are many localities where the electric light could be in troduced and prove a commercial success when compared with oil lamps even on the score of economy. At the prices ruling for petroleum oil and gas in Madrid there can bo no question as to the outcome of the comparison. ElcctBic ji'orld Fotroteitm fuel for Steamsn:p.- The use of petroleum fuel ror generating steam in stationary boilers has become extensive, but its appli cation in connection with locomotives and marine boilers has not advanced beyond the experimental stage. A paper read before the London Ship masters' Society by Capt. W. V. Car michacl gives account of what is probably the most thorough testing of liquid fuel on an ocean steamship j'cthad. Commander of a vessel built originally for the use of such suel, the Kwo, he sailed her under variety of conditions and found the results most satisfactory in all. He especially emphasizes the elements of ease of handling, constancy of steam pressure attained, and safety. The last point may occasion surprise, but it is explained by the fact that pe troleum "residuum" is the "form of fuel used, which is non-inflammable up to 350 degrees. Capt. Carmichad calls attention to the important part which the new fuel may play in naval affairs, showing how it would almost entirely do away with the difficulties of coaling at sea, and would lessen the necessity and value of coaling stations in all parts of the world. The Italian naval authorities have tried the new fuel on some of their smaller war ships during the year and report favorably on the experiments. South American railroads are probably more active than any others in using pe troleum in their locomotives. One. of the Argentine lines has all its en gines fitted for burning petroleum, and it is reported that two of the Peruvian roads have decided to take the same step. They are doubtless led to do it, in largo part, by the dis covery and rapid development of oil deposits in Peru. New York Post. Cfaes Bostoalens. Miss Kussellinia Waldo now tired you are!

Prat-SkariB . la England twenty firms adopted profit-sharing- in 1890, bringing tne total number in which profit-sharing, pure and simple, is practiced, up to forty-seven. The' South Metropolitan Gas Com pany of London is one of the largest firms to adopt it. In the winter the company employs 3,500 men, and 2,000 in the summer. The system was begun by a present from the com pany to every man who had been in its employ June 30, 1889, and would sign an agreement not to leave for three months. This gift varied with each man's term of previous service. The amount was credited on the company's books to each workman, to draw 4 per cent, interest for five years. In June, 1890, about fifteen hundred men were entitled to share in the scheme, and the sum they re ceived reached about $25, 000. Already a great improvement is f een in the men's work. They are more diligent, and see and suggest ways of saving expense. In other English firms the results arc equally good. In France, where the movement began, it continues to prow rapidly. Wherever it is fairly tried, whether through cash pay ments, credit in provident funds or presents from the company's stock, the outlook is . nearly sure to be en couraging. .; A system ujlider which the' hum blest toiler, in just measure with the man of more brains or skill, sees his work recognized, and knows that, pood or bad, it affects the total result, must be better than old methods. A man's ambition cannot last long when its bounds, in wages and nar row opportunities, shut him and his family in on every side. If it can be quickened by profit-sharing or any other just plan, by all means let the plan be tried. Youth's Companion. Accuracy and Greatness. The wonder of Prof. Agassiz's knowledge was the completeness of it. That is the secret of the power of all great naturalists. They see what es capes the observation of others, and pre able to discover the meaning of slight differences that ordinary men have not noticed at all. A young artist once called upon Audubon, the great student of birds, to show him drawings and paintings. Audubon, after examining the work, said: "I like it very much, but it is de ficient. You have painted the legs of this bird nicely, except in one re spect. The scales are exact in shape and color, but you have not arranged them correctly as to number." "I never thought of that," said the artist. "Quite likely," said Audubon. "Now upon this upper ridge of the partridge's leg there are just so many scales. You have too many. Ex amine the legs of a thousand par tridges, and you will find the scales the same in number." The lesson shows how Audubon be came great by patient study of small things. flcrso Fas. A Mansfield, Ohio, doctor is the owner of a horse which has a fond ness for practical jokes. Recently the physician drove out into the country to answer a sick call. Ar riving he tied the horse to a post, near which hung a rope attached to a large bell used as a dinner signal for employes on the place, and went in .Bide. Shortly afterward the bell rang violently. The doctor and the man of the house both looked out, but could see nothing except the horse. They had hardly turned away, however, before the bell rang again, and again they looked, but could see nothing. This was repeat ed, and the doctor determined to solve the mj'stcry, so at the third ring, instead of going into the house, he stepped out and hid in the yard. He kept his eye on the bell rope, and in about a minute was surprised to see his horse lift up his head, smile slyly and give the rope a good, hard tug. When the physician sprang out and confronted the horse, the animal in stantly tried to put on a look of inno cence, but was unsuccessful. The New Silver Coins. New halves and quarters will soon be ready for circulation. In the com petition by artists about a year ago between 200 and 300 designs were submitted, but not one was available. The designs that have been submitted to Secretary Foster were suggested mainly by Director Leech, and the drawings are by Charles E. Barber, the designer in the mint at Phila delphia. The character of the devices is limited by law to this: On one side shall be an impression emblematic of liberty, with the inscription, "Liberty," and the year of the coin- Sje, and on the reverse side shall be le figure or representation of an eagle, with the inscriptions, "United States of America" and "E Pluribus Unum," and a designation of the value of the coin. Most of the de signs were on scales too minute for use, and a classic head will make the new coins artistic. The design is to be the same for the two coins, except the words designating the value. New York Sun. A Bock Foretells the Weather. According to Koy Meninger, 3 traveler who has just returned from Mexico, their is a rock near the vil lage of Chilpancigno in the Sierra Madra del Sur that possesses the vir turcof foretelling rain twenty-four hours before it falls. Mr. Meninger was incredulous until the rock gave an exhibition oMts powers. It stands alone in a little valley of great fer tility, and seems to protrude from the ground rather than rest upon its sur face. It is about five feet In height by ten in length, and is of aklull, grayish color, the surface . being pol ished and cold to the touch. About a day before the rain comes the rock 'takes on a reddish hue, and its tem perature rises to about GO degrees Fahrenheit. The heat and color in crease until rain is precipitated, when the rock cools and gradually resumes its original gray. In a thunder-storm the stone emits a palo blue light, and therp is every indication that it is charged with electricity. Local min eralogists say the heat is from a vol canic source. Bow to Make Good Teeth. One cannot have very strong, white teeth unless plenty of bone-making food be taken up by the system. The best food for the' teeth consists of all the cereals, pure, rich milk, brown bread, lean meat, vegetables and fresh fruit. All such things as candy, pre serves, cake, pastry, and all other sweets are absolutely injurious to the teeth.

For years before there had been a few settlers on the Charles, sod ihe cows had wandered over the peninsula In search of pasturo and water, making for themsel os paths through the bashes, which were subse quently developed into roads and then Into the streets of the modern city. That Is how It camo about that the streets in the city proper are ?o crooked. Out la Boxbory, Dorchester, and the now dis tricts the' streets are broad and straight, but in tho heart of the city a stranger will lose himself in going two blocks.

Bishop Arnott, of Wilberforce, O., tho senior Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, is the most rapid ora tor in the country, rattling off words at such a rate that the most expert stenog raphers are unable to follow him. At the Ecumenical Council at Was'iington tho stenographers gavo upOheir task in de spair, and pulling ont their stop-watches as thoy would at a horse ra?o, held them on -him to girt his speed, which was found to bo SOOwords a minute or about 3,000 words in a tcn-minnte'speoch.

The first account we have of an ar mored ship is in 1530. It was one of tho fleet of tho KnighU of St John, en tirely sheathed with lead, and is said to have successfully resisted all the shot of that day. At tho siege of Gibraltar in 1782 the French and Spaniards employed light iron bomb-proofing over their decks. The first practical usa of wrought-tron p'ates as a defense for the sides of vessels was by the French In tho Crimean war in 1853, to be used against the Russian forts in tho Baltic.

FeenUar East Iatllaa Customs. ' Some of the peculiar customs of the East Indian coolies, called Lascars, are very amusing to Americans. For iu instance, they always eat their food in tho open air, with their faces toward tho west; and tho greatest insult a white man or "Giaour" can offer thorn is to walk between them and the sun while they aro eating, causing his shadow to fall on their food, which immediately becomes unclean.

German Syrup 99 Here is an incident fiom the South Mississippi, written in April, 1890, just after the Grippe had visited that country. " I am a farmer, one of those who have to rise early and work late. At the beginning of last3 Winter I was on a trip to the City of Vicksburg, Miss., where I got well drenched in a shower of rail. I went home and was soon after seized a with a dry, hacking cough. Tlyfc grew worse every day, until I had to seek relief. I consulted Dr. Dixon who has since died, and he told me to get a bottle of Boschee's German Syrup. Meantime my cough grew worse and worse and then the Grippe came along and I caught that also very severely. My condition then compelled me to do something. I got two bottles of German Syrup. I began using them, and before taking; much of the second bottle, I was entirely clear of the Cough that had hung to me so long, the Grippe, and all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and have felt that way ever since." Peter J.Biti.us,Jr.,Cayuga, Hines Co., Miss. VSOStiajvSBpP It Cnres CoW. Con-li. Sore Throat. Croon. Influenza. limipui C.:n:h.
