DOING HIS DUTY. What Seemed Certain Deatl Proved the Sailor's Salvation. "Always do your duty, Tom, no mat ter how iK-rilous or irksomo it irray bi', anil, as a peaeral thinir. you will come out all rig'ht and shipshape in the end." . Stch was the parting nlvic? of an old sailor to Thomas Itrown, a lxj' of six teen, who was ahout sailing away aboard the ship Dolphin, bound rain N-c v York to tho East Indies. Tom was deeply itnpressetl ly the words of his adviser. Ho lore thern in mind, and. after the vessel sailed, was so prompt and cheerful in obey ing onlers that he became a favorite both with the foremast hands and the oflieers. Sometimes the lad, set to Mxrorinff the decks, polishinp the rinir-l olts, or hoitinjr heavy casks out of the hold, would feel as if ready to drop with fattfrne. but not a murmur would es cape his lips. He was resolved to do his duty bravely, even though it should kill hiin. Fortunately, it had a pool effort upon him, enlarpinf his lung's and chest, making him broad in the shoulders and strong and muscular in the arms. Slen der and rather delicate when he sailed, he was fast becoming "all riht and shipshape," as his friend, theold sailor, had expressed it. One day the vessel lay ricculirwd in the Indian ocean. The sun. partially veiled by a thin mist, looked like a rid hot copper ball. The air w.-is stillintr; the men breathed with ditliculty. .Sud denly the barometer leyau to fall with alartiiinirrapldity. In the distance a hol low, humming noise was heard. I'jir away to windward was seen a loti";, broad patch of white water. A flock of sea birds, with unearthly screams flew over the ship. They were frijfht ctied; they knew what was coming: "Hands by the halyards! In with royals and to'-jfallant sail! Stand by to clew up the fore aud mizy.cn topsails and double ret-f the main!" screamed the captain, in a voice that made every man jump. Ere the tars could obey, the ftorm, hissing, roarinfr and howling-, driving the seas in threat, white walls of foam ing water and spray before it, came sweeping alonr with terrific velocity, not a mile to windwanL The active sailors clewed up and down as fast as they could; then aloft they went and laid out on the yards. Scarcely were the fore and mizzen topsails rolled up, when, with tre mendous fury, the gale struck the ship. Down she went, almost on her beam ends tearing through the water, in which she was ingulfed to her waist. The canvas was jerked from under the men like a flash. Whipping about a moment, with the din of thunder, it was torn from the jackstays and Munt whirling in shreds straight up into the black rack of the tempest. Meanwhile ropes and sheet were slatting about all over the ship. The whistling shrouds bellied far inward; the cracking masts bent over like whalebones; the hugo anchors quivered and reeled on the catheads. Tom llrown, with another lad, was at the wheel, assisted by the second mate. The wheel was now like a liv ing monster. It struggled to free it self from the gruspof the three sailors, who held aud controlled it with diili culty. Suddenly a Knapping sound, louder than the other noises, was heard aloft. The weather main-to'-g-llant ' sail sheet had parted. The hail, flapping about, threatened to carry away the mast. -rp there you go, lUll!" cried the captain to the lad next to llrown, "and cut that fail clear o' the jack stays!" Hill turned pale and trembled, but did not move from the wheel. "Oh, captain, nobody could go up there and live!" he gasped. "Ikwi't make me go, sir!' In fact, the task of cutting clear that slatting saiL with the mast reeling and jerking, threatening to give way every moment, must prove a perilous undertaking. A strong man could hardly keep himself from lciiig thrown fioin the lofty spar, much less a loy. "I tell you to go!" repeated the cap tain. "I can't! I can't!" cried Hill, as white as a sheet. "Anything else 1 11 do, captain, but don't send me to in v death!" There was no time to loe. The skipper, glaring angrily at the speaker an instant, 1. M.ked at Tom lirown. tio up there, Tom. and cut the sail clear!' Tom also turned pale, but his eyes flashed and his clear, ringing voice was heard: "Aye, aye. sir!" Up the main shrouds he went up higher and higher, determined to do his duty eveu to the ueath. With difficulty he held to the shrouds. Several times his feet were jerked from under hirn, but he drew them back and kept bravely on. lie reached the top-gallant mast. The ship made a terrific plunge. Then she came up with a tremendous jerk. The boy's feet again flew from under him. He was flung from the shrouds, but he just saved himself from falling by clutchiug the top-gallant halyards. Ho threw himself back into tho shrouds. He gnined the top-gallant yard, aud "layiug" (g-oing) out on the foot-rope, he clutched the yard with one hand aud w ith the other seizing thi; sheath-Unife in bin belt, he endeavored t'n'ut !'i-: !-:.?! cli-nr. ilderand more violently slatted the canvas every moment Several times it struck him with tremendous force, when he only saved himself by cling ing under it, with both arms, to the yard. The instant it flew back, affording him a chance to work with his knife, he was busy cutting at the strands. He almost cleared the sail from the spar when the ship plunged again, coming up the next moment with a jerk that made everything reel. A crack like the report of a musket was heard and away went the top and top-gallant mast by the board, as the istays parted- Tom, when he felt the mast going, had thrown himself in board, clutching two ratlines. Uy tliese he huug, falling, with the spar, into the sea. As vet uninjured, with tin; exception of a few slight bruises, the boy threw- both arms around the spar, clinging firmly to it. The ship, dashing on, was soon lost to his view in the dark rack, the mist and the spray of the .storm. Xo loat could lie lowered for him iu such a gale. There he was, all alone, adrift on the stormy ocean. The mad w ind howled and shrieked in his ears, the sea and the spray Hew around him, almost blinding and chok ing hiin. Uut he held to the spar until he felt his strength leaving him, when he lashed himself to the tiinW-r with some of the trailing ropes near him. Hours passed. Night came, with the tempest sUill raging. Through al! the darkness -and the storm, the Ixy, now nearly senseless, was carried on, fast to the spar. lly dawn the violence of the gale had abated. The sky was clear, the tints of the rising sun were ou the eastern wave. I'eebly Tom raised himself on the floating mast. Thank tid! there was a sail, like a slender, white column, in the distance. Was it his own vessel? He hoped so. l"p went his kerchief, wared about his head as a signal. The craft drew nearer, when he perceived it was not the Dolphin. Soon he was seen. The ship stood toward him, a lat was lowered, ho was picked nu and taken altoard. The hardships he had under gone had proven too much for him. He had kept up until the lioat was near him: then he had fallen prone upon the mast, insensible. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a sur.g Wrth. with an old man sitting near, by hi side a lovely girl of thirteeu. "lie has come to! Olu papa, I am so glad!'' cried the girl, clapping her hands. Tom's storv was soon told. He then I learned that he was aboard the ship . trumpet, nounu Home Iroui Calcutta ! v 1. V. .,., I. 'IK. That same day the after part of the 1 lolphin's hull was discovered. Waring her name, proving that she ha 1 oeeii lost not long after tho boy fell over lxjunl. The crew, who were In her when she was wreckeii, were never heard of. All had perished after she went to pieces. Had Tom been alxtard of her then. In-, too, would have .found a watery grave. His cotira-re in olieying orders in mounting that perilous mast, to do his duty had Wen his sal vation. To use the homely words of his sailor adviser, he had "come out all right and shipshape in the end."' Not only had his life thus Wen saved, but a piece of rate, good fortune fol lowed. The old man ard little girl, who sat near him when he recovered his senses, were a wealthy oil merchant and his daughter. When the vessel arrived home, the child coaxed her faiher to take the lad into his employ. in due time, by constant attention to his duties, he liecame head clerk, saved money and was finally made a partner in the firm of his benefactor. Soou after bo married the merchant's daugh ter, who. n the night liefore their wed ding, blushingly confessed to him that she had loved him ever since that mem orable day when, pie''-d up from the drifting spar, he was brought seuseless aboard the ship Trumpet.

Charles Kmcry, the day foreman in the rolling-mills, was just retiring to his home, having Ik-cii relieved by John KJter. the night otlicial. and as he walked along, his feet sounding crisply on the hard-frozen earth, he whistied softlv to himself, as light-hearted as a bird." "You're going with us to-night. Cn::rU-y'.'" cried a gay voice, md two or three young men came by. "Is 1 you mean !"" "I mean to the opera!" l"er upon that especial evening there was to lie an opera in the little town of Crystal ton. a genuine New Yorl: company with a chorus, a full orehi-.-tra and all the paraphernalia of tteenery and costume which provincial residents so seldom enjoy, and the younger tonu1atiou were on the qui rive of tleiigliti-d expectation. "I a:u going," said Mr. Kmcry, slow ly, 'but not with you!"" "Hut you will ehauge your mind, though.' said Harrison Y:t:l. ' when you hear that lvale Marcy is to be of the party.

Kate Marcy is a high spirited gl.-l; it won't do to trille too much with ..cr!" Charles tJmcry went on his way rather graver and more self-absorbed, lie had asKed his mother the day be fore to go to see "The Mascot." and his mother's eyes had brightened with genuine' delight. "Your father often used to take me, Charley." she said, "when we were young jK-ople and lived in New York. Hut it's twenty years and more since' I have liccn to an opera. And if you're quite sure, dear that there is no young girl w hom you would rather take) " "As if any young girl in the world could be to me what tny own darling little mother is!" replied Kmery, smil ing across thw table to her. 'Then I r-.hall le so delighted to go, said Mrs. Kmcry. And her voice and eyes lior.' happy witness to the truth of her words. Uut now that a regular party had lee-n organize.!, and Kate Marcy had prom ised to join it, thing.-; loiked very dif ferently t i the young nia.i. I-'or a mo ment he aliuosL regretted that he had engaged himself to take h:s mother. ' She would lie as well pleased with any eone-ert." he said to himself, "and 1 should hare the opportunity of sit ting u'l t!;..- evening next t Kate Marcy. I'll ask her to let me off this lime. She won't fare." When he went iato the little sitting room of their humble domain, and saw his mother, with her silver-gray hair rolled into .tmlTs on either side of her almost r.ii wrinkled brow, her liest black silk donned, and the oue opal I rooch which she owned pinned into the white lace folds ut her bosom, his heart misgave him. "I have been trimming my lionnet over with some viol -t-velvct flower, naitl she, smiling, "so as to do you no discredit. Charley; aud 1 have a new j-air of violet kid gloves. Aud now ,-ou must drink your tea. I've made .01:1c of your favorite cream biscuit, iind the kettle is nearly at the loil. Oh, Charley, you'll laugh at me, I'm afraid, but I feci exactly like a lit lle girl going to her first children's party. It';, so seldom, you know, that a bit of pleasure comes ia my way!" And the:i Charles Kmery made up his mind that his mother was more to iiiia, i:i her hedpless old a-c and sweet. ilTectiouate dependence, than any looming damsel whs" ryes shone like stars and whose chce-ks rivaled the Septeinlx-r peach. "tioing witli some otic else!" said Kate Marcy, rather surprised and not exactly pi ascd- She was a tall, Wautiful maiden, the lelle of Cryslatton, and rather au heiress in her own right, with a'l the rest. She certainly liked Charles Cajcry, and she rather surmised that lie liked her also. And when she had Lh-i-ii studying up her to let f.jr thj tip-e.ru. :d:e had selected a I lue dress, with Lice corn flow crs for he: hair and oin:i::ie-::t of ti:rqit ji., because she had once heard Mr. Kmery cay that blue was hi . favorite color. "lioiiig with some one else'"" she re pcate.L "We 1. of c-jurse he has a right to suit himself." And she kept within her own soul the fevered tire of girlish resentment, the gnawing pangs of jealousy that dis turbed her all tho w hile that she - was sitting waitiug for the greut jrreeu cur tain to be drawn up. Until, of a sudden, there was a slight bustle on the row of beats be yond, aud Mr. Emery entered with his mother. And then Kate's overgloorned face "rcu brti'ht aev''. :-li- i!i- v ,1 l..i.- breath of relief and turned to tue stags': it was as if the myriad gas lights hail all of a sudden been turned up: as if all the mimic world of the opera house had grown radiant. Never was voice sweeter in her ears than the somewhat thin and exhausted warble of Mile. Kosalio de Yigue, tho prima donna; never did se-euery glow with such natural tints or footlights shine more softly. Kale Marcy de clared that the opera was perfec tion!" "Yes but." said X"ert little Nina Cutu mings. "do look at I harh-y Kmery, with that little old woman! Why couldn't he have come to sit with us!" Kate bit her lip. In the crowd now surging ou. of the aisles of the little opera house she could scarcely venture to express her entire opinion; but she said, in alow, earnest tone: I don't know what you think of it, Nina, but I, for my part, resjn-ct Mr. Kmery a thousand times more for his politeness to his mother." Anil, almost at the same second, she found herself looking directly into Charles Kmery's eyes For a moment only. The crowd sej arated them, almost ere they could recognize one another; but Kate felt sure and her checi; glowed viv:d scar let at the certainty that he had heard her word. - .'barley . said little Mrs Kmery. looking iu her son's face, as they emerged into the veil of softly falling snow, which seemed to enwrap the w hole outer world in dim. dazzling mys tery, "who was that girl?" "What girl, mother'.'' with a little pardonable hypocrisy. "The one. Charley, with the big blue eyes, and the sweet face. rapts-d in a while, fleecy sort of hiod the one who said she respected you'.'" "It was Kate Marcy, mother." She has a face like an angel," said Mrs. Kmery'. softly. The next day the foreman of the rolling-mills went boldly to the old Marcy homestead. whose red-brick guides, sheeted over with ivy. rose up out of the leafless elms and lieeeiies. just 1 icy olid tho noie and stir of busy 'rystalton. "Miss Marcy." he declared, "with out intending to be an caver-dropper, I heard w hat you said last night." "It was not meant lor your ears, Mr. Kmery," said Kate, coloring a soft rosy pink. Hut," he pursued, looking her full in the face, "I cannot lie satisfied with mere cold respect. Miss Marcy. I want a warmer, tenderer feeling toward my self. If you could teach yuursclf to A'if. me " The dimples came out around Kate Mnrey's coral-red lips, wreathing her smile in wondrous licauty. "The less. ni is already learned, Mr. Kmcry." said she. "1 '.. love you. I have loved you for a long time." And the foreman of the rolling-mills went homo, envying neither king nor prince that ti .y. "Hut I never should have loved you so dearly," bis young wife told him afterward, "if you hadn't been so good to that clear little mother of yours. Iu my eyes you never looked half so handsome as when you stoial licuding over her gray head, in the crowded hall of the opera house that night." You see," said Kmery. laughing at her enthusiasm, "I agreed with the hero of the old Scotch ballad: -Sweethearts I tuav pet many a oho, Uut of withers nc-'cr another.'" Amy l:aiid:ilph, in N. ". Ledger. THE MANUFACTURE OF MEAT. ITjtceaalre Tr'aitui'Ms in lue Meat I'roduc-t ot the I liite.l St ilea. Meat is a manufactured product for which a large amount of raw material is required. The manufacture of meat is a process of transforming the vege table protein, fats, and earliohydrates of grass and grain into the animal pro tein and fat of beef, pork and mutton. The same principle applies in the pro duction of milk, eggii and other aaitual foods. In the most economical feeding of animals it takes a number of pounds of hay or corn to make a jmuud of beef tir porlc In ot'.ier words, let the farm er make ani.aal protein and fat from vegetable mat-rials in the lest way he 1 can, and still he must consume a larger qua-itity of sod product t- produce a suiali amount of animal food. Hence animal foods are costlier than vegeta ble. This is the simple explanation of the fact that in most parts of the world meat i the fool of only the well to do while the joor live almost entirely on vegetable fotnL Thus ordinary- people in Kurojie eat but little meat, and in India and China they hare 11011c at all. It is hard enough for them to get the nutriment they need iu vegetable forms. Mcat-j they cannot afTord. Hut meat making in the I'nitcd : States to-day is far more wasteful than it need be:, on account of the excessive fatness of our meats. This comes alsmt ; very naturally. We have a great ex cess of soil priMltict la the valley.i of the Ohio and Mississippi and on the ranches of the west. At present the pork maker and the ranchmen convert a large jKirtion of this into very fat meat. The pork prcaluec-rs of the great corn growing states select the breeds of swine which, as they say, will take the most corn to market." and have thus got into the way of growing animals that are little else than masses of fat. Tic: beef-growers of the western ranches, and thos; ia the cast as well, pnaluce excessively fat meat. Part of the fat is trimmed out of the meat by the butcher, part is left on our plates at the ttthlc t g to the soap man or garbage barrel, and part is eaten. Unfortunately very many of us eat much more than fat, lioth in meat and butter, than is mt-ded for nourishment, and thus do injury to our health. Century. Iteailr-ltarii- lot lie.
