waves were bowling along lx-fore a fresh

Jl hard to kef p Jrr.
j Among onr passpnjrers from Ceylon
for Madras we had a dapper young fil
Jow, who was as gooJ a judge of pearl
us I ever saw. He had been to Ceylon
laying for an English li'.i, and was
jiow on kis war to the Persian gulf to
complete his stock. He was to leave ut
it iladras to go ovcrlr.nd to Dom'iay.
I lie knew how to bn y jiearls. bnt he did
not fcnow how to take car-- of them, Be
jr.re Le had been on board a day he had
told me all about his lurk ia Ceylon and
liad shown ine his entire assortment.
One of the pearls was simply gorgeous.
Jiad it not been i si a faint dot of bine
1ipon one tide it wor.ld have been worth
a small fortune, lie was delighted with
Kir appreciation and enjoyment o the
(tones, and he howed me his treasures
fceverul times during the short voyage.
Twice he left ine alone with them. It
was not, however, through any particu
lar confidence in ine, for I suspect he
made quite as free with his treasures
among several of the passengers. One
was a Parsee, who was forever going
between Ceylon and Madras, for what
purpose I co-Id never discover, though
I had met him several times.
Whatever else he was I was eure that
the Parsee was a great rascal, and was
surprised and sorry for the young pearl
man to find him making a most intimate
friend of the fellow,
i Together they stepped down the lad
der to enter a eurf boat as we neared
Madras. The young man went down
f.rst with Lis case of precious pearls ia
Lis hand. The Tarsee was stepping in
to the boat when he pau.-d and spoke
to its black captain.
I "I have forgotten somet,..iiig," Le said,
turning to the younger man. "I must
twine by another boat; I will meet you
at the hoteL"
1 Ee gave the surfboat a pu-h with Lis
foot and began to climb the ladder.
I a sauor wno was standing ny me
Inuttered:
There's a shark in the surf yonder.
But instead of looking away over the
water he looked directly down upon the
Parsee and then at the young pearl man,
j t "f course there was a shark in the
farf. There are always sharks ia that
mrf, but to me the sailor's sentence
lueant something more than that.
The Parsee simply walked K hind the
jaloon bon- stood there two or three
minutes, then left the steamer by an-
other boat. My curiosity was thoroughly
troused. It. ass ia hand I watched the
two boats, a quarter of a mile apart,
r'ill wondering what the sailor meant by
a stark m the surf.
I Presently o;ie of the great waves lifted
the first surfboat, but instead of taking
tbe usual advantage of it to dip their
oars and r.nll I di.-tinctly noticed the
boatmen autii.jr like statues. The al-
luost naked fellow standing in the stern
T.ith a long oar to guide the craft, sud
denly leaned upon the oar, and the boat
turned, was caught broadside on the
wave and the next instant was capsized.
1 saw the pasenger, with the pearl case
t'.iil in hand, plunge head first into the
V.iter.
) Like so many eels the black boatmen
Vriggled about in the water till they
righted their boat, then rlamlered over
the side and began to bail it out.
i oi one oi uiem sfnied to give a

' A few minutes before won the other
day a tow of twenty-two loaded canal
boats swung briskly around the Battery
from the North river. The column was
formed of four fours and two threes,
and was Leaded by two big tugs. Oa
fcne of the canal boa ta a girl in a vivid
red calico dress and with bare legs
wring ia a hammock and chewed gum.
There was a strong ebb tide, so when
the big tugs with their unusually long
tow hue had puffed up the East river
almost to the foot of AYall street and
had slowed Tip, the twenty-two canal
boats bounded back like balls at the end
of rubber cords, lifting the two lines
dripping from the water.
. The line of boats wrapped itself snug
ly across the openings of five ferry slips.
Five ferryboats wanted to pet out and
could not. Five ferryboats the Bay
Eidge, Staten Island, Smth. Brooklyn,
Hamilton avenue and Atlantic street
wanted to get in and could not. They
all whistled hoarsely, and the passengers
crowded to the sides, of the boats to see
what was the matter.
Thousands of people on the ten locked
in and locked out ferryboats saw the
red girl ia the hammock, but she swung
and chewed nnconcemediy.
The river became dotted with tug
boats which wanW to get ia other slips,
or which just fluffed up along to see the

Lead of the tow whistled for assistance,
end six tugs glided up alongside of the
canal boats and made ft. Then no
body seemed to know jtst what was

signals were sounded.

Lands on the ferryboats became pur

drowned the screaming whistles with
strange oaths such as are used to exhort
towpath mules, and thousands of de

tltctic perspiration, but that bare legged
girl swung on.
The wharves became lined with idlers,
who gi.ve advice. Policemen appeared.
Other ferryboats, lighters, tenders, an
rexes, transports and more tugs came
up. They all whistled. The delayed
pisscngefs lost their sympathy; the cap
tains ceased to swear for the want of
breath; the deckhands howled hoarsely,
and when everybody was on the verge
of dissolution the caualboats were pushed
up against the wharves where they be

Blossoming Fruit Trees.
The peach is always beautiful ia
flower, but occasionally some individual
tree is almost startling in its attractive
ness. The mlo seems to be that the
finer sorts of peaches have lc-ss conspicu
ous bloom. The handsomest trees in
Cower are the wild ones along the way
side in Kentucky, Missouri and Ark3n-
fas. Some of these ought to be selected
and treated purely as flowering trees.
Cherries, so far as I know, do not have
blossoms which si)it into colors, but
a morello is suSkieutlv attractive in
white. It is a complete globe of flowers,
and small enough to occupy a place in

Bathing; at the Southern Beaehea.
Something has been said heretofore in
regard to the inconvenience caused by
sea blubbers to the surf bathers on the
island. This nuisance, instead of abat
ing, is on the increase, and if any one
wishes to bathe in the sea water now
with impunity it becomes necK.-sary to
completely swathe himself iz lothinj
from head to foot for f ear of being stung.
The effects of these stings vary ac
cording to the contituticn of the suffer
er. Usually, ia per.-ons of good health
and active circulation, an angry red
blotch appears in the skin proportionate
ia size to the animal by which it is in
flicted, rarely exceeding eight or ten
inches in diameter. An intolerable
smarting sensation is produced which re
mains ordinarily about half an hour,
and it is easy to imagine the condition of
a nervous or sensitive person when stung
iu three or four places ct once. The
feeling must be nearly akia to that of
being on fire.
In some caes the effects are more seri
ous. A young man reoeutly showed the
writer Lis arm, which was severely
stung. A broad band cf what looked like
highly inflamed mosquito bites formed
an almost perfect spiral around the fore
arm, lie complained that the paiu was
at first intense, and that although under
a physician's treatment it was rapidly
becoming less, still tt was far from
pleasant.
An old sea islander who took a surf
bath the other night said that he had
seen sea blubbers before and in consid
erable quantities, '"but never like this.
At certain seasons of the year," 6aid he.
"it is nothirg unusual to get stung.
Here the exception seems to be to get
stung less than five times in half an
Lour.
Complaints of sea blubbers come also
from Tybee and other watering places in
the south. Charleston News oid Cou

An Attractive Soap Box.
An ingenious housekeeper, says the
Arw York Worid. has fashioned what she
calls the most useful thing in her sewing
room out of an ordinary soap box. This
ia how she did it: First, she secured the
cover to the box with a couple of strong
binges. Then she lined it throughout
w ith blue cheese-cloth. The outaide she
covered with cretonne in blue with a
pattern of apple blossoms running over
it. TLe completed whole she uses for
odds and ends of unsightly sewing, such
as stockings thabneed mend ing and half
finished articles that must be kept at
Land, but that give a clattered appearance
to the sewing room when left lying about.
The cost of manufacturing at home this
utility box is less than f 2, while it L,
when in wo.king order, worth J-jO to any
oiderly housewife.

Poisoned by Scrofula.
Is the sad story of many lives made
miserable through no fault of their own.
Scrofula is more especially than any oth
er a hereditary disease, and for this sim
ple reason : Arising from impure and in
sufficient blood, the disease locates itself
in the lymphatics, which are composed
of white tissues. There is a period of
foetal life when the whole body is com
posed of white tissues, and therefore the
unborn child is especially susceptible to
this dreadful disease. But there is a
remedy for scrofula, whether hereditary
or acquired. It is Hood's Sarsaparilla.
which by its powerful effect on the
blood, expels all trace of the disease and
gives to the vital fluid the quality and
color of health. If you decide to take
Hood's Sarsaparilla do not accept any
substitute.

Seeing With One Eyo.
A person may see as far with one per
fect eye as with two, but be cannot see
as clearly ; for the advantage that bi
nocular, or double, visioD pessesses'over
moncular, or one-eyed, vision is that the
former, by allowing the observer to catch
sichtof the object from two different
points of view, gives him at once some
idea of the proportions of its different
parts.
Cut though this is true ia theory, in
practice the judgment interferes, and the
judgement ha been educated and in
some measure rendered independent of
the services of binocular vision by ex
perience and the use of other senses, such
as tonch, says the Washington Post.
Thus a man with only on9 eye is never
deceived to the natura of an object
with which he is well acquainted, for the
report of it that he gets from his vision ia
corrected and supplemented by his ex
perienced judgment and transmitted to
his centers of consciousness in as perfect
a form as that which reaches those of a
man with two eyes.
The advantage of binocular vision may
be thus farther illustrated. In rapidly
dipping a pen into an inkstand or put
ting a stopper into a decanter the one
eyed man cannot judge so accurately as
the two-eyed man. Or, a?in, if we shut
one eye and attempt to plunge the finger
rapidly into the open mouth of a bottle
we are apt to overreach or fall short of it.
An Incident of the Wilderness.
"This is tbe twenty-eighth anniversary
of the third day's Osht at the Wilder
ness," said the veteran the other morn
ing. "And wereyou'in it T
"Yes,"' answered the veteran ; "my
company lost its Gist man to-day twenty-eight
years ago."
"How was he killed ?
''He was thot by one of our own com
pany," came the onexpectly reply.
"The fact is we were frightened by the
movements of the enemy. He was play
ing 'Dixie' and the 'Ronnie Blue Flag'
so near to os that we could distinctly
hear him, when sudJenly there was an
alarm, and every man in my regiment
shot off his gun. That created a terrible
racket, and I who had never been un
der fire supposed that we were attacked
by the whole confederate army.
"In the midst of my confusion I beard
the voice of tie Colonel of my regiment
shouting, "Cease firing, men ! Then,
finally, when the firing, bad ceased, I
discovered that one poor fellow was dead.
He bad been shot through the hack by a
1 ear-rack man, and the du'y devolved
on me of writing to his family and give
ing the particlars of his death.
"And did you do it truthfully V
"So," promptly responded the veter
an, "I told them that lie had been shot
io the battle of the Wilderness, but I
gave no particulars. It was better so. '
