The Link of Sympathy Ri-tirecn a Vcmrl mid n Skipper. Like nil Hue arts, sailing must lie based upon a bi'oiul, solid sincerity, which, like a law f nature, rules an Inlinity of different phenomena, says Joseph Conrad lu tlie llooklovers Mag uzlne. Vour endeavor must be Singh! minded. You would talk differently to u coul heaver aud to a professor. Hut Is this duplicity? I deny it. The truth consists In the genuineness of the feel ing, in the genuine recognition of the two men, so simllur anil so different, as your two partners in the hazard of life. Obviously a humbug thinking only of winning his little race would stand a chance of profiting, ty Ills deception. Men, professors or coal hearers, are easily decelreil. They even hare an extraordinary knnck of lending them selves to deception, a sort of curious and Inexplicable propensity to allow themselves to be led by the nose with their eyes open. Hut with a ship It Is not so. She Is a sort of creature which wo hare brought into the world, as it were, on purpose to keep us up to the mark. In her handling a ship will not put up with a mere pretender, as, for Instance, the public; will do with Mr. X, the pop ular statesman; Mr. Y, the popular sci entist, or Mr. Z, the popular what shall we nay? anything from a teacher of high morality to a bagman who have won their little race. Hut I would like, though not accustomed to betting, to wager a large sum that not one of tV few first rate skippers of racing yachts has ever been a humbug. It would have been too difficult. The difficulty arises from the fact that one do' s not deal with ships in a mob, but wllh a ship as an individual. So we may have to do wllh men. Hut in each of us there Is some particle of the mob spirit, of (he mob temperament. No matter how earnestly we strive against each oilier, we remain brothers on the lowest side of our Intellect and the In stability of our feeling. With ships it is not so. Much as they are to us, ihey are nothing to each oilier. Those sensltire creatures have no ears for our blandishments. It takes something more than words to cajole them to do our will, to cover us with glory luckily, too, or else there would have been more r.hoddy reputations for first rate seamanship. rnliKhn-nlnit General Sherman. "When General Sherman was on Ills march from Atlanta to the sea," said an old timer, "he had with him the Eighth Missouri, noted for its foraging propensities. Nothing was safe from iU men. Quo day the general's for Are agers bronght in tome fine chickens, aud to make sure that the Missouri men did not get them they were placed In a corncrlb only a few rods from the beat of a sentry. But In a few days the whole bunch bad disappeared. Tha Eighth was suspected, but could not be convicted. Years after the war at a re union at Cincinnati General Sherman met the major of the Eighth and Im mediately after greetings said all would be forgiven If the major would tell how those chickens were taken. 'That's easy,' said the major. 'The first very dark night we seut a siiad of our best foragers with the smallest fellow In the regiment. Removing a slat from the crib, he made an aperture large enough to admit him. A cloth snaked with chloroform, which our hospital sup plied, applied to the head of a chicken soon caused It to topple over, and It was passed out for the bag. In this way the birds were In a few minutes transferred to our camp under cover of darkness absolutely without noise. The .sentry was not bribed. "Colum bus Dispatch. lli-lRlit of Thnnclrr C Inmlx. A great, cumulous thunder cloud, tow ering up on the horizon like a huge, flambuoyant Iceberg, Is often higher than the highest Alps would be if they were piled on top of the Himalayas. It is not unusual for these clouds to measure five, six and even eight miles from their flat, dark base, hovering, n mile or two nbove the world, to their rounded, glistening summit, splendid in' the sunlight. And in these eight miles the changes of temperature are as great as those over many thousand miles of the earth's surface. These clouds contain strata of temperature, narrow belts of freezing cold alternat ing wllh huge distances of rainy mist and frozen snow and Ice particles. Hailstones, which are formed from a snow particle that falls from the up per strata and Is frozen hard In the freezing belt and coated with added Ice on the wet belt, are often found with a series of layers In their formation," showing that Ihey have passed through this succession of cloud strata more than once on their way from the upper air to the earth. Philadelphia Inquirer Fltc-hrd Lower. In the course of her first call upon one of lier husband's parishioners young Mrs. Gray spoke feelingly of bis noble, generous spirit. "He Is as nearly an altruist as man may be," she said proudly and affec tionately. ' "Is he an altruist?" said her hostess, with mild surprise. "I thought from the tone of his voice that he probably was a bass." You With Us ? QUEER SIGHTS IN EGYPT. The Spectacle That Greet the Ere at the Aiiaan Dam. "Boats are niuklug fast along the riv er bank, some coming down the Nile from Khartum, some coming up the Nile from Cairo," writes Jerome Hart In a description of; the queer sights at the great Assuau dam lu Egypt. "Thu quay along the river Is semi-European, or, rather, Levantine, Its buildings, with arcaded fronts, like those one sees In Algiers and other Mediter ranean cities. Tourists In the latest tourist fashion pass along this boule vard, on foot, on horseback, on donkey buck and in carriages. Every combina tion of costume muy be seen. Here comes au old man (a European) in a high silk hat aud white kid gloves. Behind him skips a Blsharcen boy of fifteen, ills shiny black skin exposed to the cool breeze, his curly hair lus trous with grease. Next conies an American girl iu a thin muslin gowu, a cliip straw hat, mounted on a donkey. Behind her rides an elderly Egyptian ollklal, sour faced and fezzed, all crouched up and apparently shlvcrlng, 011 his donkey, wjth a very heavy cloak gathered about his shoulders. "Next conies a squad of Sudanese soldiers In khukt uniforms and khaki colored fezes, with riding breeches aud puttees cm their powerful but lanky legs. They carry little 'swagger switches,' like those of Tommy At kins, and are modeled on him in other respects, but have faces so hideously ugly and so Incredibly black that they make you fairly stare. Behind them again Is another native group, this time of Blshareens. They differ both from the Egyptian Arabs and the Su danese. There Is nothing of the Ethio pian about their faces exectpt their skins, for they have the same rich, glossy, stove polish black that the Su danese have. In other respects they are utterly dissimilar, for they have straight noses, flue features, oval faces, kind eyes and are often very hand some, except for their color. They usually wear but one garment, a dirty cotton shirt. "Here conies a Mohammedan lady, richly attired, with Immaculate gloves and neat Greek boots. She wears a very thin veil, has large black eyes and from her figure and her eyes Is appar ently young and beautiful. A nurse ac companies her with a baby, a"ud tlfcy step Into a smart carriage behind a span of beautiful Arabian horses. A scowling' black servant Is seated on the box beside the coachman. We see an other Mohammedan woman In the same picture, also In black. But hers la int a 'ni'som' " -nr I is uatchetl torn, dirty j it is m looped and Winded raggedness; it 1b apparently the wear er's only garment. Above It her skinny arms stk'k out, holding her baby. Bo low It her shrunk shanks and bare feet protrude. She is extending a mend, cant hand to the woman In the car rlage. "Up the street comes a camel carava i laden with kegs. At the command of the driver the camels kneel down. Thi drivers unlash the kegs, which roll all over the road until at last they ar stacked up on end. Curious to ses what the kegs contain, for theoretical ly the Mohammedans drink no liquors, we approach. A trimly uniformed na tive policeman politely warns us off. When I endeavor to ascertain the rea son the only English word he can dig up Is 'magazine.' , From this 1 gather that they are powder kegs, and I re spect his warning. Generally speaking, It Is wise to obey the orders of sentries and police officers In a strange land, perhaps even at home." Onion. For Hablc.. "In one of our growing western towns which I occasionally visit," said a New York business man," I knew a young man who was engaged to marry a beautiful girl. He was suddenly seized with au Insane desire to Injure her. She called for her father and brother aud the latter ran for the fam ily physician, who, upon his arrival, ordered a glass of water to be brought At sight of It the young man frothed at the mouth, exhibiting all the symp toms of rabies. He was taken to the attic and fastened with a chain around his body to a ring in the floor. One day, after many weary weeks of watch ing, a favorable change was noticed. 'How do you feel? asked the doctor. 'Oh, I'm much better,' was the reply, 'but you didn't cure me, doctor. It was that pile of onions In the corner. See! Every time I felt a crazy desire to bite anybody I would bury my teeth In one of the onions, and they have gradually drawn out all the poison. I am entirely well.' ITpon examination an onion was found which had turned green with the poison, perhaps the first one bitten. The physician frankly acknowledged that the onions had saved the patient's lite." ssew York Tress. ForKlvlna;. Constance was three.
