"I hai.iH-netl to be at Eaghj harlor, on Miehipocoteu inland, when he brotinht the 8ibery ihto port and can t may but what Hurt ha.s played it purty n:Mletlike iu tellin tbe yarn. He give it htrai-rht, though, barrin his leaviu out a few tilings which mebbe he didn't think important, though some of Via was to the owners. e see, when they tied the boat up at the dock in Iligle harbor, thvt'aou Michijioeoten island, there was the prettiest layout of ice on 'er yd ever want to look aL W'y, 'twas even with the rail over the deck, and the purliet iluU-d pillars of it run right down them open hatches and stove in skylights aud other open places right down to the KeeL y, it war a sitiht to behold, fine as anything at the ice palli, all made without hands. W'y, the fellers that pack ice iu liable harbor, ou Michipoculou is land, jet tumbled over each other to git iu bids ou tbe layout, for I tell ye, bovs. two foot ice, every blamed inch of it as clear aud .iarklin as the Koh- inoor dimonJ, ain't often fouud al ready histed on deck so ye c'n git it without wetliu yer feet. See? Hull shouldn't 'a' left thet out, even if he didn't make the ice himself, with a patent frecziu machiue, siai'ially when they sold the ice for enough to pay for all reiiairs Iwsldes addin somethiu to theowuers' bank accouut after payiu a handsome salvage to Hutr for savin the ship. "Thet header he took after the cal maul, axes not beiu handy to git at jest then, I kin swear to, for he show ed me the lump on his head, caused by strikin the firerooiu floor, bavin mis calculated the depth of water, thinkiu it was teu feet w hen it war only six. It war a pretty bad contusion, right on the place where the phreiiologers locate the bump of self esteem. He was very- proud of thet lump, ye bet, ell, ye can bet that we fellers iu Eagle harbor, Michiiiocoten islaud, appreciated tbe gallant feat aud lost no time in round in un tbe whole crew before the bar aud wettiug Vri down solid with somethiu hotter' n lake water iu ovemlier, ex- it the miserable cap'n who took to the steam pijies in the hour of dauger, because, I s'liose, he's lined bo many of them blamed societies what roast their men on hot gridirons and thing be fore they let 'em ill on the ground Hour to enjoy the enormous benefit of payiu assemuicUU thet he jot llatehully took :o them pi lies, as it war. "When Hutr told us how the whole rew went lelow, wheelsmen and all. and fed the fire w ith xal what they picked by hand outeii the water which war nourin in ou Vui by the hundreds of ton-s bavin to sw im to git it, the fine old boat jett navigatin herself all the time, with her steeriu machinery all ut of gear and useless, w'y we wet em lownairi'u with stuff hotter'n them steam pipes the cap'n set on, aud when letold how he ru up iutwoleelot water or more and in a haughty and commaiidiu toue told tbe miserable coward of a cap'n to leave him alone aud never sjieak to him ag'in we jest hoorayed, for I c'n tell ye that au eu- iueer what knows his biz like Iluti does can stand at the throttle and nav igate a ship by instinct better'n the swellcst cap'n atloat. "W'y, I e'n tell ye, an engineer has know snmethiu besides how to give -dors, and a man thet can't run a ves sel without lieiu on deck and seein the hole lavout don't know his biz. I never could see tbe use of cap'ns ou steam vessels what have No. 1 engiu eers except to swear and put ou airs. for mate, two good Cremeuare l-tter'n a dozen of tin overbeariu cusses. See? Wliat cap'n would V thought to dive down under water and uash that bulkhead what was kcepiu the men out of the fire pit? Wy, like at not he'd 'a' had some fool plan and gone to interfcrin with tbe only cool head aboard tbe boat. ."HutTa story Is O. K., but I had a little ex perieuee which lays it on Its beam ends some flatter'u the old Sibery laid on her starboard w ith her weather side so high out of water that the d d treacherous elements could ouly git a little spray on lot bet deckload of ice. 'Twas in war times, ami we had load ed with beans at Chicago for llufiaU. Ye see, every bloomin farmer in the country had taken to arisin beans for the army as the best thing they mul J do to help siuelcb. the rvtat Tbe rrop hadn't been over aud above good thet year, aud thetu Chicago hustlers war omer SOaAIERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, a-trying to corner it aud make the gov ernment iay big money for its beau rations. Some Iluflalo fellers saw the game and caught on to it, aud there was a contract with our owners to send their whole fleet to Chicago and make a break iu the Windy City bean plans. As luck would have it, the old Kxile was the last one to git her load. She was a stiff old craft, though, and iu thetu days side wheelers war thought more o'u they are now. "We got out of port and up the lake all right, but by the time we war well among the islands it begun to snow, a blamed fine snow, like a thick fog, so thet ye couldn't see nothin at all, with tbe wiud a-risin aud the snow cutliu like cambric needles. The cap' i looked kind of blue around tbe gills when he came below to ask my advice. 'If this yere weathers keeps up,' says he, 'blamed if I see how we're goin to git through the straits without svrapiu ac quaintance with things we don't waut to hev anything to do with.' "I jest la (feil heartylike aud said, says I: 'Never you mind, cap'n. I'll take this yere boat through, the straits slicker'n greased lightniu. Don't ye git scared while Jim Klowit is aboard and settiu on the safety valve so hard as h 1 can't move him. When Jim gives bis words, it's for keeps. Go to bed if want to. Ye'll be less nervous there, I reckon.' " 'I couldn't do thet,' says he, 'for I'm responsible for the safety of the boat,' "'Responsible flggerhead,' says I. 'Ye c'n keep on dock if you want to. The engine room don't need yer, and ye'd belter be careful what orders ye send dow n. See? "We went through the straits as slick as a w histle, but w hen we got in Lake Huron it was blow in great guns and snowin thick as fog, and the seas war enough to make yer hair stand up like a currycomb all over yer head. Says I to myself, 'This is growin iu terestin,' and I told the firemen to keep the fires roarin while I took a look on deck. The boat had her head well on aud w as keeping purty steady, but it looked bad, sure enough. The seas war 'mountain high,' as Hull' says, and the snow thet thick you could hardly see across the deck. The cap'n and mates came over to where I stood and war ou the iiut of a-kin my ad vice when a thunderiu big roller came over the stern, sweepiu the deck clean, aud them as wasn't washed overboard war half drowned, us fellers standiii at the head of the stair bein sent down into the fire pit without know in bow we got there. The man at the wheel was seared outeii a year's grow th and let go, and the next . minute the boat swung round, and her st a' board wheel was spiuuin in the air, and the other one was laboring in jj icei oi waier. When we got cur breath, the cap'u hollored out, 'What's the matter? '"Ye'd better go aud find out,' says I. " 'Somebody must lake the wheel,' says he. 'Take it persclf, ye d d laud- luiilier ye,' says I. 'How can I ever climb up thet slanti ti deck" says he. "I jest swum over to him, aud takin him by the nape of tbe neck I yanked him up ou to his feet and said, says I, 'You jest git outen here ye wbiniu puppy, ami see what's goin on up there,' aud with thet I kicked him up the stairway and ordered the mates to follow on. Then I said to the boys, says I, Ye see we're iu for it, but ye jest keep coo, for Jim llowit ain't drowned yet.' 'The men ou deck couldu't do a blamed thing. The bait had lost her seaway aud was roll in aroui: like a top first one wheel up iu the air, then the other, the engine jest gruauin aim sbudderiu with the strain on it, water comin in by tbe million gallons a min ute, pumps choked up, some of 'em al least, but what with I couldu't tell; hatches stove, in, whcelhouse iti.e. steenu gear badly mixed, liulklaaU giviu way, aud I'll be blowed if ib didn't look as though we were in for a short cut to kiugdou com. Hut I said, says I, 'Hoys keep 'er steam up, and we'll pull outen this hole yet, but jest now all we kin do is to let 'er rip for aw hile.' "Jest then tho cap'n come tumbliu down into the pit, spluttering from gettiu ducked ill six feet of water. T.Iowit,' says he, 'w hat shell we ever do? The ship is doomed. We've done our best to save 'er.' "Says I: 'Ye dry up, and don't let me near anoiner worn ouieu yer mouth, and, mind, ye sliukiu coward .. . . . it ye, w lieu we gits into iori ye auu i cau't walk on the same side of the street. Cos why? lJecau.se there'a tie a collision, aud somebody'd get hurt, aud it wouldn't be Jim Klow it,' says I, at which tbe uiei. give three , cheers aud a tiger, and the cap'n got bluer round the gills and kinder sigh-' ed. Then he give the almighties! screech I ever heard aud hollered. 'Tlie beans, the beam.r aud tbeu fainted dead away aud fell iu the water. Wu fished him out and hung him on a bulkhead frame to dreeu and then looked around. Sure enough, them blamed beans had begun to swell from tbe water we'd taken and war already crawiin through every crack and opeuiu. 'Now, ye see.

The way they sucked up tbe water was a caution, and quicker' n a cat I opened the fire doors aud began shovel in iu beans by the peck. They war putty damp, but they made a roarin fire thet burned blue and hot. I yelled to tbe men to come and help me, which they did, as they had cut holes outen which the beans war runnlu a steady stream into the lake, and, by George, it may sound fishy, boys, but I'll Lamed if it ain't true thet them pesky U-ans, which we thought war bound to bust the boat to flinders, war sooth iu down the sea like oil and actiu contrary to their well kuowu reputation, which Is what I say is the nature of beans to be unreliable, for here they wasstilliu the temiiest instead of raisin one, aa they generally do! "Well, in less'u au hour we were in a dead calm, the wind bavin no more effect ou them beans than a child's breath. I was mighty quick to size up the situation aud in jest no lime had all hands at work gittin things a little shipshaie, takin good care to have a steady ttrearu of beans flow in over board. Well, we lay to for about 24 hours aud then started up, I takin command aud navigatiu tbe ship from the engine room. The cap'n had come to a little once aud asked iu a weak sort of way, 'Where are we Ulowif." I didu't answer the skulkin coward, only to tell him to dry up. The weath er let up a bit, and I made up my mind to run 'er right through to Buffa lo, keepin the cap'n in U-d till we war nearly there, when I let him up ou deck jest to have things shisbae wheu we run into the doek. "I cau't say as we had much of a cargo of beans to show, that's true enough; but, boys, would ye believe thet thetsuivelin cap't strutted round like a turkey cock, and, by tleorge, if he didn't report nie as lieiu mutinous and s;,v-iu him and refusin lo obey or ders!

By judicious management a large va riety of sandwiches may be made with out much extra work.

Now They Don't Speak. From the Xew York Pn-w. "Iion't you and Agnes sjeak to each other now?" asked the prettier girl of the two, as the third maiden swept in dignantly past them, "aud, by the way, she wasn't at tbe Waitell's dance, was she?" The other girl smiled repres-edly and threw a forgiving glauve after tbe retreatiug figure. "No," she said demurely, "and that's why we don't speak. She blames me for having to stay away. I never do a really kind action but somebody turns against me." "What did you do for Agnes?" in quire the pretty girl, keenly, "did you lend her that awful purple waist of yours, or " "No," was tbe quiet response. "I didn't. But she had such a bad cold the day of the dance that her uose was aw fully red, aud I was so sorry for her. I told her that grandma always cured me, when I was like that, with a hot foot bath. It leaves your face just love ly and white, you know. So I went home with Agnes, and fixed the bath ready for her, and she said she could just feel her nose getting whiter, ao she kept her feet io the water for an hour. It did her lots of good. But there! She always was ungrateful, anyway. The next day she wouldn't qicak to me." "Why," queries the pretty girl curiously, "what did you do to her?" "Nothing," responded the other girl, more demurely than ever. "It was w hat I didn't do that made her mad. You see I forgot to tell her that mus tard water always blisters tender feet if you keep them in just a mite too long. and she didn't go to the dance because her feet were so sore by the time she took them out that she couldu't get even her bedroom slipiK-rs on. And now she blames me because her skin is so sensitive." The confidence of the eopIe in Hor.d's Sarsaparilla is due to its un- cqualcd record of wonderful cures. 1827. JULY 7. 1897. Useful Hints. Iu "fly days" the ironing should 1 protected by a mosquito netting. Clothing often gathers some damp ness in summer while lying in tbe drawers, even wheu it is put away dry. Before it is used it should 1-e shaken out and hung iu a sunny window for at least a quarter of an hour to air. To Wash a Sheepskin Mat The first thing to be remembered is that it should not be washed in too hot water, as that would spoil tbe color of the wool and make it quite yellow. Boil ed soap must be used In sufficient quantity to clean the skin well, after which it must lie thoroughly rinsed iu cold water until the w hole of the soap is removed. It should now be put in to water with blue in it, of which enough should be used to make it clear white. The mat should be put in the sun to dry, but care must be taken not leave it too long, nor to put the skin uppermost, but always the floecy part. otherwise it will become stiff and w ill crack. To prevent all chance of this it must be very frequently shaken while drying, as this is an important part of the process, and is of as much consequence as the washing.

In the North of Knglaud, where rab bit coursing is most in vogue, swift, well trained dogs often win large sums of prizes. It is therefore little to be wondered at that the owners of these animals should bestow so much upon them. An old Yorkshire collier, well know n for bis success iu tbe coursing field recently surprised all bis mates by mar rying a very unprepossessing pauper woman. He had always been consider ed a con. rmed hater of the other sex. "Why has ta gone aud got spliced, lad, at th' age?" one of his friends a-ked him. "Oh, that's not much of a tale," answered the old man, stolidly. "I ree wi' ye 'at Betsy youdes is no lieauty if she had bctn I shouldn't have wed her.

JL "As Big as a Piece of Chalk-" The small piece of chalk w hich is in constant use in the schoolroom, the lee- i turcroom, the billiardroom, aud the workshop luw a strange history, the unraveling of which through all its complexities is one of the most difficult problems with which the science of the present day is called upm to deal. This piece is in reality a chip of an im mense block of chalk that once filled an area tbe size of the continent of Euro and of which even yet several gigantic fragments remain, reach hun dreds of square miles in extent. These patches are scattered over tbe region lying between Ireland on tbe west and China ou the east, and extending in the other direction from Sweden in the north to Portugal iu the south. Iu the British Isles the chalk is found in greatest irfcctioii and con tinuity in the east aud southeast of Knglaud. A sheet of chalk more than lOUJ feet iu tbicklieesH underlies all that portion of Knglaud which is sit uated to the southeast of a line crossing the island diagonally from the North Sea at Flamhorough Head to the oast ou the Kuglish Channel in iKirsvt. This enormous sheet of chalk is tilted up slightly ou the west, ami its de pressed eastern pinions that dip toward the waters of the North Sea are usually buried from sight by means of overly ing sands and clays. Where the edges of the chalk floor come upon tbe sea the cliff scenery is strikingly grand ami beautiful. Any one who has once seen tbe magnificent rocks of Klamborough and Bts-cby Head, the jagged stack of the Needles, or the diy ma-s of Shakesjicur's Cliff, near I lover, can un derstand why "the white clitls of Al bion" has grown into a stock phrase. This m.-issive sheet of chalk appear aguiu in Franee, in many other parts of Eurojie as far east as the Crimea, aud even in Central Asia, beyond the Sea of Aral. How far it stretched westward into what is now tbe Atlantic may never be known, but chalk cliffs of at least 2X1 feet in thickness are seen at Antrim, in Ireland, and less conspi cuous formations are found in Scotland, in Argyle, and Aberdeen. There cau be little q. 1st ion that all these now isolated patches were om-e connected j in a continuous sheet, w bich must, therefore, have occupied a superficial area about UtM) miles long by nearly 1im broad, au extent larger than that of tbe present continent of Kuroje. Pittsburg Dispatch. What Jealousy Does. Due of the commonest kinds of a pace tliat kills Is jealousy. A jealous woman, iu common with every other creature w ho dissipates, if she encoura ges that jealousy defeats her own ol- ject. Take the women who by habit is suspicitMisIy watchful of her husband and the woman be meets. She fears these other women may usurp her place in his admiration, respect, aflecl ion, etc. And if she is unwise, as many jealous women are, she thinks and says irritating things reflecting upm the man's probity aud the wom en's looks, temers and characters. The physicians say that the enter tainment of jealousy really has a dis organizing effect upon tbe body, and certainly it is disturbing to the mind. A jealous woman w ho may have been lovely as a May m ruing through in dulgence of her fears begins to become, from the moment at which sha first susjiect-', the very object which will drive away her husband's regard. Jealousy guarantees biliousness. Bil iousness makes bad temper, cross words. These, too, are disturbing to the cook, and she semis bad food to the table. The man can't eat it, and his business goes wrong all day. A jealous, bilious woman is a bad mother. She upsets Vie children, and money has tobeaid out for medicine for them. Domestic jealousy is a pace that kills. Professional or business jealousy kills. The woman who w hisiiers a conve nient detrimental word ah tut an asss ciate into the car of her iKitrou or em ployer may lieiietit for a day. Iu the end, he concludes that she is untrust worthy.

The boy looked as if he doubted it, hut held his peace. "That is," explained the visitor, in order that there should lie no mistake, "I like good little boys, and you're a good little boy, aren't you?" "Well," returned the boy cautiously, "there are a lot worse than me ou our street," "I want that you should like nie, too," persisted the visitor. Again tne boy was wise enough to hold his eaee, but he looked as if he thought the job was a pretty big one. The expression was not lost on tbe visitor. "Don't you like me now ?" he asked. The U'V baiked at the visitor and sighed. Then he looked at his father, and but expression was one of great doubt. "Pop," he said at last, "does all that stuff that you told me about never tel ling a lie go or not?" The meeting was promptly adjourn ed amid considerable confusion. Chi cago Post. Something to Know.

We went to our favorite bench in Lincoln Park, sitting so we could view J tbe lake. I watched my artist friend j who had asked me to take a quiet stroll with him.

"tJh, anything, from tbe Hum phrey bills to tbe question. Why has red hair always been looked upon in all ages with aversion?' "Bed hair!" exclaimed te. "There's no such thing.

He continued: "I never knew a red-haired girl to be stupiiL She is always interesting, quick of actili, quick of sps-ch, quick to resent, quick to forgive, ami above all, symathetic. She makes many bright siiceches, and sometimes with the greatest uaivette. For instance, I knew a charming you lady on the North side, a goldeu-haired belle, w bo boasts the family crest over years old, whose wit is equa! d only by her love of fun. She is somewhat relig iitusly inclined. To a young gentle man who earnestly el: I rented her to wait the other evening, she returned the startling negative: 'I'll lie damned if I do.' Ot course she meant it as a statement, not as an a--- rtion. "lied hair brings with it j;rert sensi bility.

Yes," sighed my friend med itatively. "She is a lovable tlarling wheu she likes you, but sharier than a two-edged sword wheu she doesu't." I looked at my artist friend iu utter astonishment aud wondered why my remark bad called for so much en thusiasm. However. I was rather pleased than otherwise, as my own hair barely esJied the suspicious coli -r. ' I see there is no rtom for argument here," I ventur.-d to remark.

''No, sir!" replied the Senator em phatically, aud added, "the iH.-oj.le gave the same verdict in the last cam paign." "Well," returned Mr. Bryan a lit tle warmly, "remember that Bull Bun was followed by an Appomattox!'

He was a fat, jovial appearing man and be sat on the front of the grip i ar siuokii'g a frsgraiit bLw k-rooking cig ar. A gum smile was ou his face and occasionally, as be removed the c?gar from bit lips to blow out a great cloud of smoke, be seized the opportunity to let out a chuekle of delight, while there came ovtr him a convulsive q'iivr as if he were inwardly vtry milt h amilse at something.

"That's so ha, ha," laughed the fat man genially ami with an air of sud den interest iu the other. "Nice day," be ventureL "Yes," returned the other readily. And the fat man puffed a cmiple of times at his weed aud then five vent to another of his inward and hilarious chuckles.

"Ye," returned the fat man ea gerly; "have a cigar?" and be pulled one of the combustible articles out of a picket, "Don't mind if I do," returned the other, taking it, and he accepted a light from the other's cigar at tbe same time.
