l;iw of ralvage are nirrely framed to
eoconrape tbe saving of life and proper
ty cn the dei p. Tbere in avarice iu the
mariner as iu landsmen, and tbe laws
t. re made to tivercome and ccrb there
mercenary ambitions. For that reason
a roaster and bis crew cannot expect
talvage for saving tbeir own vessel. It
is tbe natural assumption in law, as
well as in fi-ct, tbat tbey must do
everything tbey can to preserve tbeir
charge and under an Agreement with
tbe owners keep it from danger when
ever possible.
In kjlvapectie of tbe first laws is that

would be willing to guarantee1 the pay
ment cf millions' for proffered assist
ance Tbis point bas been decided hun
dreds of times, tbe courts taking tbe
ttand that tbe peril made an exor
bitant bargain necessary.
As a general thing, the salvage award
is cjnal to about one-tbird tbe value in
the caee cf tailing craft and from
one third to one-half iu tbe case cf
tteair.ers. Tbeownen of Ibe Halving

Iu the case cf a abandoned vessel
there is a peculiar law as applied to

average mariner, but it's tbe law.
To make a successful salvage claim it
is necessary that tbe property must be
nctoally saved and saved by tliot claim
ing to be salvers. Iu other words, tbe
salvage services mast be rendered by
jierscns not bound by contract to render
tbem. If tbe mariner or other encoun

ase wbicb might possibly expose tbe
Lip to destrcotion unless assistance ia
rendered and does all be cau to save tbe

gree to save or preserve ber, compensa

vessel is mainly preserved by other
means.

It is very certain tbat tbe majority cf
dreams are only cf momectary duration,
though extended occasionally to the
length of a minute.
In proof of tbis Dr. Sbolz tells tbe
following story from his experience:
"After excessive bodily fatigue and a

a burning lamp Soon 1 found myself on

ship, I was again young and stood on
tbe lookout. I biard the roar of water,
and golden cloud floated around me.
iiow long I stood so I did not know, but
it seemed a very long time.
"Then tbe scene changed. I was in
the country, and my long lost parents
came to greet me. Tbey pent me to
church, where tbe loud organ sounded.
I was delighted, but at tbe fame time
wondered to see my wife and cbildin
there. Tbe pnet-t mounted the pulpit
and preached, tnt I could net uudei

merely sends notice to the right person
to go to the postr.ffice and apply for the

How Far Caa Qmall Flrt
A number of sportsmen have been
discn-sing tbe question of how far a
quail cau fly Tbere are a good many
contingencies to be considered in arriv
ing at a definite conclusion of tbe ques
tion, the which cuts no inconsiderable
figure in tbe distance one of these birds
can fly. If there is a stiff wind blow
ing aud the bird's course is with the
wind, a fall grown quail could certain
ly go more tban a mile with ease and
doubtless a much greater distance.
Those wbo have noticed quail trying
to fly across tbe Missouri river, where
tbe dihtauce is about a mile, recall tbat
not all tbe birds make tbe trip safely
They usually pick a spot where they
can make a bait on a saud bar in mid
stream, and thus cross the river in two
flights. But sometimes they make tbe
distance at a single flight, and this
seems to be their full limit under nor
mal conditions, for when tbey alight
they are completely exhausted.
It is generally believed that on an
average a mile is about tbe limit of the
flight of a quail where it is neither fa
vored nor retarded by tbe wind. It hap

It is surprising to learn from the
highest medical authority in Euglaud
tbat laughter may be injurious.
Laughter in itself, says the British
Medical Journal, cannot very well kill,
but it may do barm. Hysterical girls
and boys with kindred nervous affec
tions are cften given to immoderate
laughter, which tends to increase uerv
ons exhaustion.
Dr. Feilcbeufeld relates an instruc
tive case in which a little girl suffered
trom very definite cardiao symptoms
after immoderate laughter. The patient
was 13 years old and had previously
been free from any sign of heart dis
ease. After laughing cn aud off for
nearly an hour with some companions
she suddenly felt stabbing pains in the
chest aud was seized with fits of cough
ing, followed by cardiao dyspuo?a, very
ell marked. -Feilcbeufeld believes thut

that she could not turn over iu bed
alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters she is wonderfully im

Add all four figures and tbey make a
multiple of each of the last two figures
1 plus 8 plus 9 plus 9 equals '27.
Subtract the first figure from each of
the last two figures and the remuiuder
represents the second figure -9 minus 1

Subtract the second figure from each

Subtract either cf the last two fig

Subtract tbe first two figures from

Multiply tbe last three figure, add
the result and the sum represents the
