Hey Xiir.scd IIlH Wrath Till Manhood.
Ho was a Bath boy , who , when 13 or 14
j'ears old , went to sea as coolr on a flshlng
schooner , relates an exchange. One morning
IB had the misfortune to burn some mackerel
which lie- was frying and the captaia1 was so
angered at this failure o his breakfast that
he took one of the burned flsh from the plat
ter and slung it across the table into the
loy cook's face.
The boy nursed bis wrath until , with full
Tare , the flsherfcoat was tied to her pier in
the home dock , when he packed his kit , went
ashore , and from the wharf rnnda this little
speech to the captain :
"Cap'n , you've Insulted and abused mo on
this trip , and sure as I'm ulive , when I grow
up to be a man I'll lay for you and lick you
if I'm able. "
years rolled on and the boy cook became
master of a ship and could thrash any man
of his Inches and weight. In Portland one
day he was passing by the Falmonth hotel
when he > encountered , face to face , his former
Grand Banks captain and accosted him bv
lame. The captain , surprised , allowed ha
had not the pleai-uro of the other's acquaint
ance , but the former Eath boy refreshed his
nemory with the circumstances of that fish
ing trip , and added :
"I told you after you had struck me with
that flsli , cap'n , that I'd whale you if I' overgrew
grew big enough , so look out for yourself ;
I'll keep that promise right off ! "
With these preliminaries the Dath boy
'sailed In , " right on the principal street of
Portland , and sure enough , satisfactorily to
limself , redeemed his boyish thrtat.

A great many curious facts connected with
the names of veterans of the late war , re
lates the Washington Star , are developed In
the work of the civil service commission ,
which la frequently called upon to certify
In regard to the service of soldiers who seek
to enter the classified service. Tills work
of the commission develops the fact that one
out of every eight soldiers who enlisted In
the civil war enlisted under an assumed or
partial name , which frequently makes It
difficult 'to ' Identify them now. A curious
case has Just come 'to ' light. It appears
that A. L. Holmes , when ho enlisted , told
the recruiting ofllcer his name was "Al
Holmes. " The 'officer ' wrote the narao A. L.
Holmes.
"No , that Is not my name , " protested the
recrurt. " .My name la Albert Holmes. "
"Well , " replied the officer , "I will give you
a middle name , " and ho proceeded to write
the recruit's name Albert Lincoln Holmes.
"You-will never bo ashamed of that name , "
tlio officer remarked aa > the recruit stood
speechless. M
Since that day ho has been Albert Lin/coin
Holmes. i

"What was the trouble ? "

and It was no trifling Insult , cither. "

EXTENSIVE VOYAGES MADE BY BOTTLES
The Ma 1 11 l'rlm > lil > of ( lie Currents )
S.OMOIII of the \orth Atlantic
K.HlnhlUliril Ciii-rnitH In
ViirliniH
The United St.itcs government lias suc
ceeded In solving In great measure tlio mys
tery of the ocean currents. U lias Just
caused to bo issued from the hydrosrnphlc
office a chart , primarily Intended for tlio
guidance of mariners , which Indicates the
results of labors extending over many
mouths. The story this chart tells those
who care to study It , relates the Phila
delphia Times , U of extraordinary-Interest.
From tlmo to tlmo statements have boon
tuado that the Navy department was engaged
In throwing overheard from various govern
ment vessels battles , each containing a re
quest to the flmlcr to note the tlmo nnil
place of finding nnd return the same to the
nearest representative of the United StatM
government. This Is piirtlally true , but the
entire truth Is that these bottles have been
thrown overboard , not only from the ships
of the navy , hut from ships In various portions
tions of the world which belonged to other
nations , the notion having In every Instance
been performed by representatives of the
United States hydrographlc office , detailed
for the express purpose.
In every one of these bottles was the re
quest to return referred to and also the ad
ditional Information that the finder would bo
suitably rewarded for his action. The result
of this 1ms been that a very great percent
age of the bottles thrown overboard have
been recovered , for It becnmo noised about
everywhere that to find such a bottle meant
a very comfortable sum lor the discoverer
thereof.
Tlieso bottles were the solution or tlio
problem ns tn how best to establish definitely
the exact Tacts concernlnv ; those ocean cur
rents which play so great a ? > art In naviga
tion. The result has been astonishing. Not
only have the apparent truths concerning
the drifts been shown cleaily , but new facts
oPwhlch no navigator ever dreamed brought
to light.
BOTTLES UECOVKUED.
Of the bottles recovered eighty-one were
cast overboard within the limits of the north
Atlantic , nine In the south Atlantic , eight In
the north Pacific , eight In the south Pacific
and three In the Indian ocean. Three bottles
crossed the equator. Of thci'e two were In
the Atlantic , both going from south to north.
The first was thrown overboanl from the
steamship Euphemla , March 3. 1896 , In lati
tude 7.40 south , longitude 21 west. August
4 , 1S3G , this bottle was recovered In latitude
14.40 north , longitude 61 west. It had been
Journeying Just 154 days , In that time had
traveled 2,700 miles and its average drift
per day was 17.0 mllre.
The second bottle wes thrown overboard
from the steamship Wltteklnd , April 25 , 1S9G.
In latitude 2.09 south , longitude 30.25 west.
It was recovered September 3 of the same
yeir In latitude 13.24 and longitude 1G.3G
west , having traveled 1,300 miles In 131 days ,
drifting 9.8 miles each day. The trip ot the
third bottle began In the China sea anj It
went from north to south. It was dropped
overboard by a representative of the Hydro-
graph tc office from the shln'.Slam , August 18 ,
1895 , in latitude 19.13 north , longitude 11G.OI3
cast. Juno 7 of the following year 'it was
found In latitude 3 south , longitude 108 cast.
Although It had traveled 293 days , the dls-
tanco traversed was only 1,400 miles , or an
average dally di 1ft of 4.S miles. These
figures show better than all else the differ
ence between the currents In the different
seas.
Among the articles thrown overbcnrd and
recovered , ot which record has been kept
by the Hydrographlc office , are two buoys.
Ono of these , a life-buoy , was thrown over
board from the steamship Palatla , Septem
ber 24 , 1S9G , and ) was picked up on the west
coast of Ireland Island , one of the 'Ber '
mudas , January 25 , 1897. The second was
a buoy swept overboard from the Japanese
cruiser 'Banjo , April 22 , 1894 , and which
was picked up by the steamship , Kllanea
Hou , In the straits between 'theIslands of
Hawaii and Maul. ' " "
A LONG VOYAGE.
The longest drift was that of a bottle
thrown overboard from thoshln , , Allerton to
the south of the Falkland ielands , and found
ifter an Interval of slightly lea than three
years near the EJyre Patch , on the shores
of the great Australian bight , the distance
between these two points , measured approxi
mately along the parallel , being 8,500 miles.
Of the more extended drifts , the one having
the highest dally avepjge , 17.G miles , was
confined , as usual , wholly to the equatorial
current , being that of the bottle thrown over
board from Hie ship Euphemla to the south
of the equator , and ! picked up on the shores
of { Martinique.
Taken collectively the courses followed by
these bottles servo to elucidate the main
principles of the current system of the north
Atlantic and to show the close agreement
.hat exists between the motion of the sur-
'aco ' water and the direction of the prevail-
ng winds. The latter , circulating around the
region of the high barometric pressure to the
southwest of the Azores' , blowing on Its
louthern side with almost unfailing regu-
arlty , but co Us northern sldo frequently
Interrupted by the IVMMRO of lemmrary 1 j
nrevis of low pressure , give rise to Jrlft "
currents , whHi are merely tlie effect of the
wind on the surface of the water , ns , for
example , In the region of Iho trade win K
whcro Ihoholo surf ec of tlio se.i , Rttu'r-
hlly speaking , Is converted Into n slow cur
rent moving to leoward.
When , owing to the Interposition of nny
obstacle , the mim of water oarrleil by tlio
drift accumulates to such nn extent Ihnt an
outlet becomes nccoisnry , the result is a.
"stream" current , acting by virtue of Ha own
gravity , following a pith Imposed by the
obstacle and the drift cojolntly , nnd serving
to equalize the excess of | nTSSliro duo to the
continuous action of the drift. Tli * the
gulf stro.im. relieving the Otilf of Mexico
and tlfo Caribbean Bta of the volumes of
water carried thither by the action of the
equatorial drift , Is a stream current , and , ns
such , pursued a course qulto Independent of
the wind KdIII Its waters are lost In the
general easterly drift.

Between the easterly drift , which , In eonsc-
qucnco of the westerly winds , exists to the
northward of the area of high baromotrlo
pressure , and the westerly drift due to the
trades to the south of It , lies an extensive
region , throughout which the surface currents
ro variable In velocity anil direction. The
northern limit of this region may bo set down
sa 3S degrees , and to the eastward It extend *
to the meridian 40 degrees. Beyond thcso
limits the eddy-Ilka drift prevails.
To the north of the Azores , along the
parallel of BO degrees , the easterly rift
spreads out like a fan. Its inortheastorn ex
tension reaching the chores of Norway end
the I.offodcn Islands , Its southeastern the
shores of Franco , Spain nnd Portugal. Tlio
various destinations attained by bottli's cast
adrift In this region show this uncertainty
of the movement of thu surface currents.
Five bottles were thrown overboard during
the summer season In the neighborhood of
B3 degrees north latitude nnd 32 degrees west
longitude , nnd within an area of 100 mllfa
square. Ono of these bottle * was cast overboard -
board from the steamship Island , Octobel
20. 1895. In latitude 53.19 north ami loagl-
tudo 32,63 west. This was recovered on the
eoist of Norway , September 28 , 189G , In
latitude 58.59 north sr.id longitude 0.4G east
H had traveled l.SOO miles In 343 days , an
avcrnce dallv drift nf r.2 mllns.
Another bottle thrown overboard from the
steamship Vonotla , May 8 , 1S9C , Mn latituda
52.10 north , longitude 33.10 west , was recov
ered December 2S , 1S9G. on the west coast
of Ireland In latitude 52.0S .north , longitude-
10.15 west. This bottle Journeyed fcr
231 days , or 3.8 miles a day. The third
bottle was dropped overboard from the
steamship Gerona , September 5 , 1896 , In lati
tude 5305 north , Inagltudc 30.2(1 ( west. It
also was found1 on tin- west coast of Ireland ,
February 28 , 1837 , In latitude E3.12 north ,
longitude 9.10 west. Nine hundred miles was
the dlotanco traveled ln < 17G days , 5.1 mile *
being the average dally Journey.
Two .bottles were thrown overboard within
fifty miles of each other , and landed , one
on Andros Island , West Indies , the other
on the shores of Flnlsterre , France. An
other pilr likewise was thrown overboard
within a few miles of each other , and n-rar
the northern limits of the gulf stream. No ,
1 reached Its destination on Abaco Island ,
West Indies , while No. 2 landed at Arachou ,
France.
A particularly ( noteworthy member of the
drifts Is that of the bottle 45 , thrown over
board from the stcam&hlp Wltteklnd , April
25 , 189G , in latitude 2.09 south , longitude
30.25 west , and picked up ScQtcmber 3 on
the African coast , at the mouth ot the
Bathurst river , Gambia. This bottle , set
adrift , in the strong south equatorial cur
rent , must have been transferred to the
Guinea current , and by it carried to the
exceptionally northern position on the coast
of Africa at which It was recovered.

A successful lynching took placeon the
farm of Jerome Butler , south of Marlottc.
Mich. , the other day. In the barn a uv.allow'g
nest was seen clinging n the side of a beam
from which was suspended an Knglibh spar
row , hung by the neck with a hair from a
horse's tail. While Franklia Butler and Orla
Albertson were sitting In the barn they
noticed a sparrow go into tlie swallow's
nest , from which he began pitching the
> oung birds. Three swallows , attracted by
their outcry , Immediately pounced upon the
Intiudcr. After confining him to the nest for
a few min.utes . they threw him out. He
dropped about a foot , there was a Jerk , nnd
Mr. Sparrow was hanged as nicely as thougli
an expert hangmaji had been In charge.
The hair was wound around his neck several
times , and , after a few Ineffectual struggles
he kicked his last.
All Awful CoiiKli Cured.
"For more than t\vo years I had a distressIng -
Ing cough which got worse all the tlmo , not
withstanding the fact that I took a number ot
remedies and oven spent last winter In the
vicinity of San Antonio , Tex. , hoping to be
benefited by the climate , but about the mid
dle of February I came home to die , as I
was so weak that I could not sit up , " says
Mra. J. II. Eagan of 'Memphis , Tenn. "In
their effort to give mo some relief , ore of
my friends brought me a bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Heinedy. I took a few doses
and my cough was very much relieved. I
continued to take it until I had taken two
bottles of the large size , and I have not
coughed any since. "
