AN OLD ENGINEER RELATES POME OF HIS EXPERIENCED WHAT THE CHINAMAN" SAW. " Life under water monotonous, eh ? Well, I guess not At least I don't find it eo. I've been there 14 years ofl and on, and have always mauaped to find enough to occupy UiV time and attention." The pjaker was an engineer on one of the great ocean 6teamers, and as he made that remark to a report er, while landing on the pier before his vessel, he readjusted his loose blouse witdan awkward jerk, and "ave his head a confident twitch. e "A fdlow needn't let time lag on hiiu anywhere if he only as his yes open," he added. u sow, to some it would Eeem almost unbear able to watch the continuous throb of the machinery of a large steamer, and hear nothing but the everlast ing ' ciick, click ' of the piston-rods and levers, but to me they all sound like music. I've become partly dulled add insensible to them, but even now I often sit still and watch and listen to their never-varying beats with that sort of satisfaction whicii a musician feels when he runs his tingtr? mechanically yet bkilii'uliy over the keys of his in strument. His satisfaction arises from the fact that he has the instru ment ei.tirely tinder Iris control, and mine comes from a similar cause. With a touch of my fiuger I could jTojiel thousands of tons at almost any speed through the wa ter, or send a hundred lives into ftt-rniiy. Indeed, I feel that I am the file responsible party on board f'irthe live of tlie pa-sengers, as it rfiuuii'S with me to keep my ma chinery in such perfect condition a to withstand any ordinary sea or rouh storm. ' And aain, I take pride in keep ing everything around me shining like burnished gold. If a spot of grease or dirt gets on the rods or handles ofany part of the machin ery it cannot escape my notice long I go over every part of the engine room twice a day, and rub the bras and steel rods with as much pleas ure at tiiough I owned the steamer myself. 1 sometimes amuse myself bv keeping a record of the number ol milvs we run an hour and com paring it with the records of previ ous trips. I have on a book in the engine room a curious table oi dates and figures, which shows to me the exact time for every mile made by the different steamers which I have engint?ered across the ocean for the last fourteen years. If anything more than usual occurs I jot it down opposite the date, and so make a sort of diary of it It speaks vol umes to me, and recalls many inter esting memories. For instance 1, was looking through it the other day and I found opposite November 10, 1S75, a reference to a visit from Cni namen. The incident was recalled to my mind in a moment, and I laughed heartily over it to myself. This is what it meant One day while lying in port we were visited by si veral Chinamen, who were anx ious to inspect the ship. They were an ignorant Bet, and had never 6een any machinery worked by Etearu. The Captain was a good-natured fel low, and allowed them to come be low, although they experienced some doubts as to the advisability ol so doing. They were very timid, and it took some time for me to convince them that the machinery was harm less. Finally 1 got two of them to come close to the heavy driving-rod, which you know on large vessels is nn enormous piece of iron. .Sud denly, without warning, it gave a start forward, and, accompanied by a loud puff of steam, leaped fully ti n feet above our heads. Angry at my aboistant for letting on steam without my knowledge, I turned to speak to him, when my attention was attracted toward the stairway. The last two Chinamen of the party were making frantic endeavors to jump up half a dozen steps at a time. The rest had disappeared, and be fore I got on deck the whole crowd had not into their boat and started for the shore. No amount of per- suasion could, ever get them to re turn to that ship, wiiich they claim ed was alive. It was a mean trick, but it has afforded me many a good laugh sniCtt. IVmuark Lrtmcs an Island.

The monk was not merely a picturesque j object ; it was also a valuable laud- mark for sailors, warning them swept around its base. But is now only a thing of the past Last year j a portion ol the cliff fell down, and this year all that remained was broken off just below the water line, leaving in ns place a dangerous rcet, which is covered even at low water. Fortunately it was uninhabited, so no lives were lost The occurrence is noteworthy as proving the con tinuous wash of the sea, aided prob ably in the water by the action of driving ice-blocks, is able to saw throuch immense masses of rock consisting of hard basalt, cutting them clean across at the water's edge. "Papa, what is a tornado T" asked a youthful seeker afto intormation. Glancing nervously around the room to see it the coast is clear he said: ' You have often heard your moth er blowing me np for bringing com pany Lome without previously notifying her?" "Yes, sir." "Well, that is as much like a tor nado as anything I know of But you needn't tell your mother that I aaid eo, however."

One day as she stood at the win dow, watching the busy street and wondering why he of all children was crippled and thin and weak, a snow Cake came Bailing down through the December sky, paused a moment at the window and then crept in at a broken pane and rested on her wasted hand. The child was glad and emiled, and said : Did you pity me that you came to see me?" , " I have only pity for the poor and helpless," replied the enowtlake. "Where are your companions . " Tbey will be here. I had a race with them and I reached the earth first." u It was ao cood of you to come in and see me," whiepered the child.

But other Hakes came and danced before the window and made merrv and called to her : " Come out and be merry with us. A child should not weep and grieve." " But I have no friends." she an Ewered. " Then thesnowflakes will be your friends. Almost every day we will . - iU- willi rnll " . n ri,...?" pKia. ' UO you Know ji uraicu . pered the child, as she wiped away the tears.

Be of good cheer, we will surely come again." ADd the days went on and on, and the nights came and went and the child grieved and wept because the snowflakes did not come to tell her. Millions of them floated in the air. and the wind drove them in millions up and down the streets, but never a one came to the broken window pane. One day, when the child's blue eyes had scarcely been free from tears when heart ached as never before when there was a fierce strucgle to ca?t off the emsc: ntd. deformed body as one miht throw away a garment on this day, ! as the bleak winter aiternoon was ; fading to dusk, there was a tapping at the window pane. The child heard the sounds with beating heart, and as she dragged herself to the window she cried out in exultation : "Oh! it is the snowflakes come again. You are here to tell me of heaven." " Yes," they whispered. " And God will take tne.?" " He has sent for you." " Wait wait ! I will go with you." But the snowflakes whispered: " Child, you must sleep first. Heav en is a long way off. We will wake you when it is time." The child lay down on her bed of rags and slept. At midnight the snowflakes crept in and rented on her hair on her ragced gown on her thin hands, and eome of the boldest touched her face. Come, it is time," thev whisper ed. She did not move. " Child, we are here to guide vou on your path to heaven," they call ed There was no answer, but a bright star Btiuueuiy uirew i"g '"i the window and over the bed of rags, and the snowflakes gathered together and whispered: " She is dead ! hue we lingered . . i a I in sport wiia tne wmas an angei has come ar d borne her away !"

The po tato bugs got into his fields ; his children had whooping cough, and his wife was crippled with rheuma tism. Then he invested lifty cents in a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil and twenty-five cents in one of Star Cough Cure, and health happiness return to his home. Red and Happiness consist in occupation of tbe mind. Small minds renuire to be occupibd by email affairs, j Great minds can occupy themselves. Romping With Baby. Serious consequences sometimes ensue upon the romp which the child enjoys even more than does the fath er, older brother or friend of the familv, who swings the little one back "and forth at the full length of its arms, or tossing it over his head while grasping it by th bands, va rying the entertainment by catchirjg it by the ankles and suspending it for an instant head downward. .It is a received idea with eome fathers tnat boys cannot be trained too early in gymnastic exercises, the rougher the'better, eo long as tbe child does not complain of being hurt Spir ited boys of two years have been known to endure, without flinch ing, this eort of "training" until the limes were twisted out of joint. Burmese Pome. The famous Burmese ponies are not Burmese at all, but Shan, and four or five hundred miles bevond our frontier. They are very "sure footed, and many of them are pertectly beauuiui in sym metry. They are speedy for their size, and wonderful jumpers ; they are very docile for they are, like the pure Arabs, handled from their birth and only require shoeing when put upon our macadamized roads. They have a good deal of Arab blood in them, too, for a Shsn has as keen an eye for a horse as a Yorkshireman, and many of them purchased offi cers' Arab chargers in days gone by and took them to their own coun- try. The ordinary Burman pony is ! very like the " tat " of India, but thov thrnnrh a lot of work, and & wiU refer one of big own breed to that of the!

L'ngamiy and unsafe as appears the peat, they get over the ground won derfully well, and seldom fall off. The po'nies are all taught to amble, and a good pacer will fetch a long price.

Can you tell who is iu the greatest danger of catching any infectious or epidemic disease? " Why," you say "the pureon whose blood is in an im pure or impoverinhed condition." Exactly. Such people take special complaints as dry grass bursts iuto flame before the sparks of a locomo tive. Pure blood is a defence ; it means safety, and Dr. Kennedy's fa vorite Iiededy is the mildest, safest and surest purifier ot the blood. Our chief dangers are within our selves. Shiloh's vitalizer is what you need for Consumption, Less of Ap petite, Dizziness and all symptoms ot Dyspepsia. Price 10 and 75 cents per bottle. O. W. Benford & Son. "Most of these hair preparations don't work," writes Mr. J. S. Bur dick, of St. Louis, "but Parker's Hair Balsam is an honorable excep tion. M v hair waa thin and prema- i turely grar. The Balsam made it ! brown again and soft as in my bov Ihood." i Catakkh cured, health and sweet breath secured, by Shiloh's Catarrh Remedy. Price 50 cents. Nasal In jector free. G. W. Benford & Son.

Will you suffer with Dyspepsia and Laver Complaint? fehilohs vital izer is guaranteed to cure you. O. W. Benford & Son. j Health is impossible when the blood is impure, thick, and sluggish or when it is thin and impoverished. Under such conditions, boils, pim ples, headaches, neuralgia, rheuma tism, and one disease after another is developed. Take Acer's Sarsa parilla, and it will make the blood pure, rich, warm and vitalizing. Sleepless nights, made miserable by that terrible cough. Shiloh's Cure is the remedv for you. G. W. Benford & Son. Vho does not delight toseea good looking face? Yet erysipelas disfig ures the features almost beyond rec ognition. But that is hot the worst of it. This disease is as dangt-rous os it is repulsive. It is sometimes called "St Anthony's Fire," and of ten causes sudden death. Mr. S. B. Carpeuttr, of Grandville, X. Y., had it in both legs and was cured by Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. This medicine excells all others for the blood. Especially adapted to per sons in feeble health. Shiloh's cocgh and Consumption Cure is sold by O. V. Benford & Son on a guarantee. Ilcuics Consump tion. Why use two Dames ? Isn't a tun ing fork a pitch fork? Aches and pains long borne make even tbe young feel old. The true remedy is Parker's Tonic. It puri fies the blood, sets in order the liver and kidneys, banishes pain and builds up the health. Besides it has tne reputation oi doing what we claim for it. For lame back, side or chest, use baiion s rorous rlaster. Price 2o cents. G. W. Benford & Son. Catarrh. For twenty years I was a sufierer from catarrh of the head and throat By a few applica tions of Ely's Cream Balm I receiv ed decided benefit was cured by one bottle. Charlotte Parker, Wa verly, X. Y.
