BY l;l I IS IIAI.a One of the crew of the ship Honolulu, bound from Owyhee, Sandwich Islands, to ;nui Francisco, was a tine looking boy of seventeen, named George llelden the son of a widowed lady of sixty, who was a par.j;Kr alxiard the oai:ie vessel : Ovviuf: t luLsine disasters, Mrs. IJi-ld-i ii 3 husband had left his wife in pxr circuuiMamx'S when he died. 1 Relatives in Sau Fraucisco, however, had pronii.4 ed to use their iulluence in behalf of the w idow's son if she Would couie there, and it was for .this reason the was now oa her way. Her slender stock of funds not being puiiicient to pay tiie passage for J , even aboard so cheap a craft as the JIniulu, George had rea iily made up hia mind to work his own way to the destined port As he was unuM-d to labor of this kind, Lis nio'her had at l:it cried about it, and objected, but there being no alterna tive, hiie lia 1, at hist, been obliged to consent. For hours evtry !ay after the craft had saile l, tiiis lady, w ita the bow ed form and gray hair, might have been seen ou deck, peering anxiously about her, ifrou" under the riiu of hir black bonnet, to get a glimpse of her con as he ran to anil fro in the performance of bin duties. At times, w hen she iuw him far aloft on a yard, bhe would involuntarily clasp her ban. Is, with a half muttoreO, '"Oh, dear!" until Borne passing sailor would resre.-t fully touch bis hat to her, and say : " Don't le afraid, ma'am ; he's afe enough." The ship's captain, John Leo, a K.au aka, or native of the .Sandwich Islamic, was bo uu thing of a tyrant. His crew, all composed of w hite men for he never shipped Kanakas on account of their laziness, as he termed it had with biia a hard lime. Although he was very sur ly and harsh with George Helden, yet the presence of the hitter's mother aboard the vessel nerved as a check to more brutal treatment. II:s daughter, too, a tail, graceful girl of fifteen, named Min nowla, w ho had taken a liking both to the widow and her son, exerted herself w ith her father in the hoy's behalf. George waa much attracted by the dark lieau'y of the island girl, ami would olten converse with her. "I will yet make her my wife," Le said, oneduy to his mother. The latter, believing' Minnowla to be of a tickle nature, aud something of a coquette, naturally made objections. ' She will wreck your peace of mind George. 1 believe she is only leading you on. Better marry a white girl when you think of taking a wile." You are mistaken, mother. The cap tain's daughter is no coquette." "Most all these island girls are," an swered the widow. "Minnowla is friendly to both of us. She has shown herself to be of a gentle disposition." That is true ; bat she is, in my opin ion, childish and variable. She is not, I should say, the kind of girl, to make unselfish sacrifices for you in the hour of trial. Tree, it is plain that she has been weii and carefully brought up, but she is tain and frivolous, as you cin see by her manner at tiiis moment. Would a girl whose whole heart seems bound np in a suing of red coral Wads bo apt to stiow tiie sort of deep, carue-t devotion that would make her ready and willing to sacrifice her very life for you As is ii'Ual ia such cases, George was not influenced by his mother's opinion. He etood watching the movements of Minnowla, w ho, clad in a neat bathing Slit trimmed with red on the edges ami where it was buttoned aroui. 1 thethront, stool holding up in the sunlight a string of coral beads, w hich she was admiring with a sort of childish delight ere she puts them on her neck. The vessel, driven somewhat off her course by a late gale and heavy sea, which had stoven and swept away ail her boats except the dingy hanging ast ern, now lay becalmed in about 9 deg. 4-" min. north tat, Ion. 1 IS 80 west, and, as was her custom in such weather, the younggirl, who, like all her race, was nearly as much at home in the water as if it was her native element had been amusing herself by diving from and swimming about the after part of the ship. The ca!m had put the captain in an unusually bad humor, and when iinally the falling of the barometer indicated a earning storm, it was in uo gentle man ner that be roared out to the men to shorten the sail. Minnowla, not yet having changed ber attire stood w atching the black and w hile water coming down from windward. .Sail had scarcely been taken in, whn the tempest st ruck the vessel. The gale was violent, and the spray of the hissing, curling seas flying over the rail compell ed Mis. Welden to seek shelter in the com panion way. The ship was now driving through the roiricg waves, heeling far over, under more canvass than she could well carry, for the captain was anxious to clear a cluster of islands which bore otf the tee bow, about three miles distant The strained spars, with their w hole topsails, were swaying and bending, as if about going by the board, w hen, all at once, with a report like thunder, the miuen-topeail was blown clear of the ESTABLISHED 1827. WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 1898. sheeU,and, whipping wilidly about, it threatened to carry away the topmast, which was already snapping and crack ing as it 6hook. "Lay aloft there, and cut that sail clear of the jack slays!" shouted Cap tain Leo to George. "Wi'litnot be dangoroas for him to go up there now, father?" inquired Min nowla, "Might not the topmast fall w ith hitm on the yard ?" "It is to jiwiit! its falling that I send him to cut away the sail," was the an swer. "There is no danger if be be quick enough." But in this the captain was mistaken. There ua danger, as some of the lash ings near the cap of the strained spar were already loosening. "Lively, there !" he shouted, roughly, to the boy, as the latter ran aloft. George soon was outon the yard, ply ing bis knife to cutaway the strands that held the sail, but, beinsr hindered by the slatting of the canvass against him, he made slow progress. "Call him down, father. I am sure he is running a great risk !" cried Min now la. "He will be safe enough in a few inin ntes," impatiently Answered the cap Liin; but, even as lie spoke, a ay went the toy mast with a crash. It fell upon the vessel's only boat, hanging astern, crushing it to fragments aud also damaging tint ship's rudder but, ere this, George, struck on the arm by the loosened, swinging yard, as the iar went over, was knocked into the t sea. "Man overboard !" was the cry, and iuslantly one of the sailors tut loose the life-prerver, on the quarter, allowing it to drop into the water. The captain strove to heave the ship to, while the lirst mate a Nantucketer got over into the mi.en chains, aud bending his long body far outward, tiied togra-pthe youth by the coiiur as the craft w ent spinning past him. There was a wistful, hopeful look on George's face when he saw the mate le.-uui.g towards him, but a foaming sea buried the boy out of reach of the friend ly hands. Then a quick, dextrous young i'-ilow threw oat tiie end of a rope the main-brace which feli close to the !d. He clutched the rope witii one hand, fur his other urai, hurt and benumbed by the blow be had received from the yard, could not 1j used. IV.t he could only hold to the roe for au instant Tne ship swept, jerked the ropa from his grasp, and in a few secouds later he was s allowed up by the el!s and mist which now had gathered to U.-c:ird near Use Veswel. 4 At the cry of "mail overboard !""Mrs. Belden bad staggered out of the coiu panionway, and in au instant stie had caught sight of her boy, struggling there in the angry seas, A terrible sjtuicle it was to the old ldy. 1'iteously holding out her hands her eyes w ild with fear and grief, she tottered to leeward, making as'raignt iine for her eon, and calling ou the men to save him. She would certaiuly have been swept over the lee rail Lad not a couple of sailors held her. When she saw (ieorge disappear in the rack aud mist, all hope seemed to desert her. "My boy ! my poor boy will be lo6t ."' she waiied in agony, wringing her trou bling hands, " Why is nut a boat lower ed ?" " iur only boat is broken," answered the captain. "But surely there must be some way to save him! Quick ! quick !" "There is nothing we can do." The agony of the widowed mother pained the heart of every sailor. Her gray head feebly quivering anguish, and uer arms still outstretched toward the sea, she presented a picture of distress ueverto be forgotten by that vessels crew. But now Minnowla came to her side. While the mother's heart was nearly crushed, the gentle but spirited voice of tne island girl fell upon her ears : "Wail ! 1 wiil try to save your son !" Then, ere anyone could prevent her, she, as light and agile in her bathing suit as a deer, ran to the rail, and sprang over into the sea. The next moment she was striking out toward the life-preserver, which had drifted a short distance oif. Borne on the crests of the foaming Seas, with her long black hair streaming behind her, she was anxiously watched from the ship, and seen to reach the life-preserver, which she pushed before her as she s am until the driving mist hid her from sight. The wind had shifted a little other wise the vessel in her present unmanage- ble state, must finally have been driven ! ashore; but the anxious captain, now wurried about his daughter, thought nothing of his craft, which he left under the charge of his mate. In spite of his faults he was fond of his child, and he paced the deck hurriedly, vaioly.striving t i peer through the mist to leeward. Hours passed ere the men could repair the injured rudder and the other dama ges so as to steer and control the ship. That the change of the wind had caus ed her to drift clear of the islands to lee ward being now evident, she was hove to. The mist was still thick upon the wat ers, and never did people suiTer such agonizing suspense as the mother and father who were waiting and hoping for a glimpse of son and daughter. At last came the trying moment The gale had abated, and the lurid sun in the west darted crimson rays through the mist, which slowly rose aud vanished from the surface of the ocean. Lookouts were aloft. Tne captain him self was atthe foremast head, pointed his glass. Anxiously was the rolling expanse of water scanned in every direction, but no sign either of Minnowla or George was discovered. "It is as I feared," groaned the captain "Minnowla, good swimmer though she was, was drowned in that rough sea, while trying to save the boy." "So my poor boy Las not been saved after all!" cried the despairing mother, tightly clasping her bands, while she be came as pale as death. She staggered, and Ler senses were leaving her, when all at once a cry which seemed to ring far al ng sea and sky, was borne down from the Nantucketer the mate, who had posted himself above the to'gaiiant cross trees. "XVrif fVy are ! Jllunoirla and 0t liy f A glad exclamation escaped Mrs. Bel den, while the captain shouted : "Where away T "Ashore there," was the answer. The mist had just cleared fro a thst point of the land on one of the Islands yonder, and it will show them to yoa piain!y enough." The captain, looking through his glass, said, joyfully : "Ay, there she is and he, too, signal ing to us!'' Before night, the girl, with George came otfto the ship in a canoe paddled by au island chief, and the hppay moth er soon had her arms about her son's neck. Minnowla, after leaving the vessel to save him bad .reached him just as be was about going down in the rough seas ; for, one of his arms being iDjured, he had, though a good swimmer, been una ble to keep himself np longer. Thegir-, securing him to the life-preserver, con tinued to shove the latter before her, hoping to reach the land to leeward. It was almost two miles off, however; and as it was the outer one of the group of islands she feaa'd that she w ould be carried past it She strained every muscle, but in spite of her utmost tti'orts, she would have been borne on out of the reach of the point of land had she not been seen by one of the natives, who, as she was being swept past the rocky projection, contrived to throw her a line. !?he caught it, and making it fast to the life preserver, she was drawn ashore, w ith her precious charge the boy whom she had so nobly rescued. The ships damages were now repaired nd she continued on her course, in due time reaching the harbor .f San Fran cisco. A few years later George Ie!den, Lav ing become one of the partners of a pros perous tirm, sought Captain Leo, and ob tained his consent to try and win the hand of his beautiful daughter. Not long after Minnowla became his w ife, and no cue was better pleased at the YPvnt than .Mr. Belden ; for ever since th maiden Lad risked Ler own Fife to save Georje, the happy mother Vnw that she had mi-judged the character of this island girl, who, in the perilous res cue, had proved herself one of the most unselfish and devoted of her sex. v. Taking Foul Air From a Well. A correspondent of a western paper sajs : I saw a curious method used, the other day in Illinois, to take the foul air out of a well. The well was to lie clean ed, but the man that took the job was afraid to' go down until he had ascertain ed the quality of the air at the bottcm. He let down a lighted candle, and when it di-scended to about six feet of the lot toru it went ont as auddenly as though extinguished by a whiil' of air. That was all he wanted to know. He was then sure that tiio well had poisonous g; in it, and took a small umbrella, tied a string to the handle and lowered it open into the well. Having let it go nearly to the bottom, he drew it ap, car ried it a few feet from the wei! and upset it He repeated this operation or 'M times, with ail the bystanders laughing at him. then again lowered the light, which burned clear and bright even at the bottom. He then condescended to explain that the gas ia tiie well was car bonic acid gas, which is heavier than air. and therelore could le brought in an umbrella just as though it were so mmh water. It was a simple trick, yet perfect ly effective. In the Far North. The whole region is one of severe cold, and the sea is frozen for the greater part of the year, land and water becoming al most indistinguishable, but for the in cessant movement and drift of the sea ice. In summer the sea ice breaks up in to tloes which may drift away southward and melt, or be driveu by the w ind agaiast the shores of continents or is lands, leaving lanes of open water wh ich a shift of wind may change and cl..e in an hour. Icebergs launched from the glaciers of the land also dr"ft with the tide, current and wind though the more or less open water. Possibly at some times the path may open and a clear wa terway run through to the pole, aud old whalers tell of many a year when they believed that a few days' steaming would carry them to the end of the world, if they could have seized the opportunity. At other times routes traversed in safety time after time may be effectively closed for years, and all advance barred. Food in the form of seal or walrus ia the open water, reindeer, musk ox, polar bears, or birds on the land, may often be procured, but these sources cannot be re lied upon. Advance northward may be made by water in a ship, or by dog sleuge, or on foot, over the frozen snow or ice. Facit method has grave draw backs. Advance by sea is stopped when the young ice forms in autumn, and land advance is hampered by the long Arctic night w hich enforces months of inaction, more trying to health and spirits than the severeist exertion. The Hairs in a Man's Head. The Western Congressman who offered to bet as many dollars as there were hairs on his head that the Sherman act would not lie repealed, must have been bald-headed or he underestimated the magnitude of his wager. Ir. Wilson, a well-known English authority, says that the average number of hairs to the square inch on a human scalp is about l.ooo, and the whole number of hairs on the scalp of an adult is in the neighborhood os IJ07XK). Ir. Waldeyer assarts that he counted, in the space of a quarter of an inc-b, on the crown of a man's head, 2'Xi hairs, while he counted only I'-'o in the same space on the occiput and 211 on the anterior part of the scalp. There is a great difference in numbers, according to the diameter of the hairs. The finest hairs on Anglo-Saxon heads measure from a five-hundredth to a fifteen-hundredth of an inch in diameter, while the coarsest range from a hundred and forti eth toa live-hundredth of an inch. ttucklen s Arnica Salve.

The Crafty Norman. By way of illustration of the proverb bial craftiness of the Norman peasantry, an amusing story is related, w hich, if not in strict accordance w ith fact, has at least the merit of originality. A certain baker, in business in a small torn, obtained his supply of butter from a farmer in the neighborhood. One tine day he-discovered that the pat., which were supposed to weigh three pounds each, were not up to the standard, and further examination revealed a steady diminution in the daily provision. At last the baker lodged a formal complaint against the farmer, and the affair was brought btfore the local court. " Have you any scales ?" inquired the Magistrate. ? Yes, Monsieur le Judge," was the ready reply. " Have yoa any weights ?" contin ued the Judge. An answer this time ia Ihe negative was as promptly given. " But how do you manaip; to weigh your butter?" asked the Magistrate. t Then the farmer related that ever since the baker had taken his butter he had returned the compliment by buying Lis bread. The baker supplied him with three-pound loaves, and he used them as weights for his butter. "It is his fault not mine, if the weight is not correct," added the farmer, who was speedily ac quitted and left the court in triumph with an escort of friends and admirers. Since this trial the farmer is said to have been supplied with more than due pio vision of bread, but he has taken good care not to fall into the opposite error, and the baker has now his three-pound pats of butter full weight, but not an ounce u.ore.

Both Parties Pleased. A Portland lawyer says that not long ago a man came into his office thorough ly angry as men usually are when they go on such errands. He hal called upon a debtor and ask ed him politely for the payment of a bill of ?2.i0, and bad been refused. Now he wanted the lawyer to collect it. The lawyer demurred. The amount was too trilling. It would cost the whole of it to collect it. "No matter," said the client. " I don't care if I don't get a cent so long as that fellow has Vj piy it." " So the la wyer wrote the debtor a letter, and in due time the latter appeared in high dudgeon. He disclaimed owins any $1.j aud would not pay it " Very well," said the lawyer, " then my instructions are to sue. But I hard ly think it wiil pay you to stand suit for so small a sum." " Who'll get the money if I pay it?" asxed the man. The lawyer n as obliged to confess tiiat he would. "Oh, well," said the debtor, "that's another matter. If Mr. isn't going to get the money, why I am perfectly will ing to pay it." The debt was paid, and the lawyer pocketed the money, and, w hat is very unusual, all the parties to the suit were perfectly satisfied. 'vri.oe . I ;'. Ways of l.ijuring the Health.
