Tho smoking room of a transntlnntlo steamer is tho greatest plnco in tho world for stories. On every trip there is always Bonio ono who has a special gift in that direction. Tito last timo I went across there was a Mr. Scott on board who told us Bomo of his wonderful adventures. One day- ho saidt I never tako passatro on n steamer until tho very last moment." "Why is thatr'somo ono nsked. "I should think you would sometimes run tho risk of not getting a good room." Oh, I don t mind that," answered Mr. Scott, "what I am anxious about is to avoid Hobbs." "Who's Hobbs?" three or four asked together. Well, It's plain you never met him or you wouldn't have forgotten him. Hobbs Is an inventor, who turns his intellect towards marino improvements. The first time I met him ho was crossing over try ing to get his patent nonseasickablo berth adopted, Tho steamship company had refused to put in tho berths, but allowed him to go on tho steamer and put in a berth if a passenger wanted it in. The consequence was that Ilobbs mado lifo a burden for all of us. Some ordered in tho berths in order to get rid of his can vassing and explanations. Tho improve ment generally mado them so searick that they slept tho rest of tho voyage on tho sofa. It was an oscillating affair, and tho chances were that if you did succeed in getting into it tho thing would pitch you out on tho floor beforo morning. Wo worried through that trip, but my next voyage with Mr. Hobbs was a terror. As a general thing I havo a room to myself when I cross, but this time I found that Bomo ono else was to bo in with me. The first day out I, -came down to my room and found it filled up with all sorts of paraphernalia, so much so I could hardly enter. Some ono was in tho upper berth and , was stretching himself half way across tho room tacking canvni to the ceiling, "Hello!" I cried. "What the deuce ore you up to? I want you to understand that this is my room." a " -v "Mine, 'too," cried tlitT'othcr fellow, with his mouth full of tacks. Then looking down at mo he dropped' tho tacks on tho floor and shouted gleefully, "Hel lo, ScottI That you? Well, this is luck. didn t know but I would havo some stranger with mo this time, so I hurried to got through with my littlo plan before he could object." Ho was so covered with dust that nt first I did not rccognlzo lilm, but as ho jumped down I saw with horror that it was Hobbs, and I felt suro that I would have another slego with the oscillating berth. "What is all this anyhow? Some new improvement on tho berth?" '.No, rvo been studying this thing since I havo been over here, and I find that It is not tho motion of tho vessel that causes seasickness at all. No, sir. It is tho foul air. You havo noticed that when passengers stay on tho deck thoy are not half so bad as wlicn. tney remain in their staterooms. Now there is just as much motion on deck as in tho state' room, so it is evidently not tho motion that makes tho difference. Now what is it? Why it is tho fresh nir. That's the whole secret. I've perfected an exhaus' tive apparatus which will keep tho state rooms and cabin as puro as tho deck out side. Like all great inventions it is very simple. All we havo to do is to exhaust tho air and there you ure." llio first four days out wo had an aw ful time Hobbs worked at that thing night and day. There was no rest for mo, all the timo ho was at it, no talked incessantly. Ho wanted to fix it so that only a certain amount of fresh air would get In, and ho had arrangements for stopping drafts and preventing tho foul air from the rest of the ship getting in, and all tliat sort of thing. At last ono night tho fifth night out ho announced that everything was completed and that bo would get the pump attached that night or next day. I fell into a troubled slumber, and eomo timo in the night wakened up with a straugo feeling of op pression. I found it almost impossible to breathe. I lay thero panting for a few moments, not knowing what was tho matter with mo. Tho air seemed as rarefied as at the top of a mountain. All at onco I recognized a new sound. It was a sound of suction, and tho whole situation flashed on me. Ilobbs had started his infernal machine and it was drawing all tho air out of tho room, was exhausting the air faster than tho crevices let it in. I knew that if I was to Bave my lifo I must act quickly, I sprang from tho berth and struck a match. It glimmered for a moment and then went out Thero was not enough oxygen in tho room to allow it to burn. Then I thought of the electrlo light That, at least, was inde pendent of air. I groped around for tho knob and turned it on. Hobbs was Bleep ing peacefully in the upper berth, tried to open tho door, but it was locked and I saw with dismay that tho key was not there To make suro of his murder ous experiment, Hobbs had hidden the key. At that momont a wild desire to murder Hobbs seized me. I forgot that he must necessarily suffer the same fate as myself. I reached up and grabbed him by tho arms and flung him on the floor with a crash that ought -to liavo broken every bone in his body. I sprang on him, and, with both hands, gripped his throat, pounding his head against the carpeted floor with all tho energy of des peration. "Hobbs. you villain," I yelled, "where is the key7" "Wh wha what key?" gasped the awakened man between thumps. "The door key you know wliat key." "I I never saw it." stuttered Hobbs. Then it occurred to me that I had bet- ter leave Hobbs to the fate he had pre- diu-wi roj mmsau ana save nur own uxa liiualc $1.28 when if possible. I gavo his head ono farewell thump nnd then flung myself on the floor and breathed through tho aperture under tho door. Tho cool air from tho outside was very comforting to nn exhausted man. 1 heard Hobbs getting slowly up, muttering to himself. Ho sat down on tho sofa, apparently to think ovnr things. Look here, lie said at last, "If you re quito through with me I'd like to go back to bed again. Bed," I cried. "You'll be a dead man inside of five minutes. Thero b no air in this room. Your idlotio exhaust ing mnchinj has" men open tno uoor: it tan t locked. it's bolted." I unbolted the door and it came open all right As thero was no rush'of cold air, I began to feel that I had not been as wido nwako as I thought I was. I had a suspicion, too, that I had not acted in n gentlemanly manner toward Hobbs, "I'm afraid I've been dreaming, Hobbs," I said, apologetically. Oh, no, replied Hobbs, " you re merely stark crazy, that's all. You think this ship is a lunatic asylum. Now, if this sort of matineo is going to occur every day or so you'll oxcuso mo if I prefer to sleep in tho lower bunk. It Isn't bo far to fall." Thus it is," concluded Mr. Scott, 'that I always try to avoid Hobbs. "1 know one man who will be grateful for your avoidance," said a smoker. "Who s that? ' asked Scott. "Hobbs." Luko Sharp in Detroit Free Press, A Tinman Almanac Brown county has a prodigy in the shapo.of a 10-ycar-old boy with a talent tor days anu dates. Koy uaenweller, son of Mr, S. P. Odenweller, of Industry township, is tho infant wonder. Give liim any date in any month of this year, last year or next year, and he can at once tell you tho day of tho week upon which it falls or has fallen. For exam ple, ask him on what day of the week will Oct. 17, 1880, fall, and ho will promptly anwer "Thursday," which is correct. And so of any date of last year or the year to come. How ho arrives at the solution ho does not know. Numer ous gentlemen of undoubted veracity havo repbatedly tested his strange power, Tho littlo fellow is a bright youngster, but does not exhibit any unusual preco city beyond this peculiar gift. He says that beyond tho three years tho current. tho last and tho noxt ho cannot give correct answers. Next year ho will lose all power over 1888 (with which ho is now conversant) and his mind will grasp that of 1891, of which ho now knows nothing. Ho has no rule or method, nor does he know how ho arrives at tho true answer, but it is certain that ho is correct when answering. Qulncy (Ills.) Cor. Chicago Tribune. The Chinese minister's Opal. Tho Chinese minister was present, ac companied by several of his secretaries and attired in a cost u tno of remarkable beauty. Tho silks and fabrics of which it was composed must havo excited at onco tho admiration and envy of hah tho ladies present. On his head ho wore a cap of a mandarin of the highest rank and a relative of the emperor. In place of tho yellow button which usually sur mounts the top was a magnificent opal as large ns a pullet's egg, blazing with a myriad light and surrounded by a circle of diamonds tho smallest of which could not weigh less than two carats. Tho opal would havo turned CoL Pat Donan green with envy. The whole headgear must have cost the minister not less than 5,000, nud he has several others equally gorgeous and expensive. Hardly tho sort to lcavo on tho hat rack with the front dooropen, are they? With oriental sagacity tho worthy ambassador from tho Golden erapiro wears his cap in mixed company, and has the others pad locked in a bonnet box, and carries the key up his sleeve. Washington Post, THE GENTLER SEX. There aro two women in cotntnnnd of Mississippi steamboats. Tho empress of Austria is said to be very fond of speaking English. Thero aro 213 clubs of women in the city of Now Orleans alone devoted to the study of political economy. Mrs. Gordou Mackay, of Boston, the wife of tho iuventor of a sowing machine, has $300,000 worth of precious stones. Mrs. Cnshol Hoey, the Irish novelist, is about C5 years of age, short, stout, aud in her btylo of dress thoroughly English. There is a Woman's Silk Culture asso ciation, and from its reports it would seem that American women nre destined to becoruo oittenslve silk growem. A society of the "King's Daughters' has been formed in Borlin by Mrs. Mary B. Willard, who has a family school1 for American girls in tho German capital. Women are at last permitted to prac tice medicine in Canada, aud the first to receive' a lecense is Miss Mitchell, of Kingston, a graduate of Queen's univer sity. The Illinois Women's Press association has waxed so strong that it is to build houso in Chicago, a featuro of which will be a lecture room to wat 200 per sons. A young woman in Washington, who is at tho head of a typewriting establish' mcnt. says that since.the new adminis tration camoin her business haalncreasod enormously. The Rev, Amanda Deys has been ap pointed a delegate from the Universal Peace union to tho World's Peace con gress to bo held In Parln the first five days In June. It is said there are more American women studying nrt in Vienna and Paris than over before. A leading art club In the former city has twenty-five Araeri can lady students. Miss Kate Sherman, a buxom Tennes see girl, met her "father at tho depot, tho other day, and broke two of his ribs at a singlo hug. She ought to be labeled with tho words "Handsoff dangerous." Elizabeth Smith, 89 years of age, walked most of the way from Wheel ing, W. Va to Bridgeport, Conn. She was on her way to Worcetter, Mass. where her son lives, and started witli only $3. It is estimated that three-fourths of the women of leisure in New York and Brooklyn aro interested in mind cure. Christian scienco or faith healing. The number of teachers in both cities is phe- ! nomenally large, aud all havo full classes. i An international women' suffrage I congress is to meet in Paris in the sum i raer, and the municipal council lias voted 000 francs toward tho expenses.
