The Diver's Stratagem. N 18 I found myself abeard the brig- Uarmald, bowling a 1 o a through the Per slan Gulf an bei way to Constanti nople. There were two p a eager a stately, fierce looking Turk and a young Circassian girl, whose surpas sing beauty it was Impossible to per fectly describe. Her motions were as graceful ai those of the crested waves that threw rain bowed spray around our bows; her kin was as white as pearl; the cheekt Just tinged with a delicate rose color, so that, in the sunlight, they looked al most transparent, tier eyes were almond-shaped, of a dark, bewitching, blue color, and her hair her shining, glorious hair fell almost to her feet, in thick, undulating masses. Meek and melancholy, she would stand by the side of fie Turk, her ta perlng fingers Interlocked across her breast, the blue eyes often suffused with tears. How could she help feeling melan choly? She bad been sold to the Turk by her own father; sold for the Turk's harem; snatched away from a young man whom she tenderly loved a state ly, handsome pearl-diver, the bravest and most skillful on the Persian coast. Bear which this girl had lived. When I learned this from our stew ard, an inquisitive, talkative French man, I must confess that my heart was stirred with pity for the unfortunate damsel, and I felt that it would be no more than right for some good-natured person to snatch the girl from the Turk , and restore ber to the arms of her lover. This, however, seemed an Impossibili ty, as she was bought and paid for, and the lynx-eyed Turk followed her care fully wherever she went We had gained considerably on our course, when to windward we beheld one morning a gigantic cloud, shaped Hke a human being, striding along to ward us at a great rate. It whirled round and round as it advanced. Pres ently off went its head; a flash of light ning darted up from its trunk, and then then gods! what a crash what a whirling what a bumming! As far as we could see to windward the water was 'one mass of boiling, hissing spray. Then there was a strange, rumbling roar, as of an earthquake under the sea, and vast columns of water, tossed far upward, mingled with the sound and rack of the storm. The captain had every stitch of canvas taken in, so when tbe tempest struck us away we went, driving along before it on our beam-ends, under bare poles. On our beam-ends, with the water plowing aver us, almost engulfing us, with every timber cracking and the masts swaying and snapping like dry twigs. For two hours we were thus driven along, bewildered, almost blinded, by flying rack and 6pray, when the tem pest having slightly abated, we were enabled to move about the deck. The captain loosened his topsails and endeavored to edge up close to the wind. Tain the attempt; the brig would not come up, and we were rapidly driven by wind and current back toward the port which we had loft a few days be fore. The Circassian girl came up; and when she divined what was taking place her blue eyes shone with joy. In broken English she explained to me, during a few minutes' conversation which I held with her while the Turk was below filling his pipe, that she be lieved her lover, Uustave Morono, would start In pursuit of the brig in his little fishing smack the moment he should hear that she had been carried away, and she hoped that now we would soon fall In with it. Even as she spoke an erratic blaBt struck the brig. Down went tbe vessel making a furi ous plunge. There was a loud, snap ping sound, and over went the main mast by the board. The wreck was cleared with axes, but the brig now rolled wildly, shipping enormous seas every time. "Man the pumps T was the order. It was executed; the men worked hard, but tbe water gained on us. In few hours the craft would be water logged, so that we should be obliged to abandon her. A six-oared cutter our only boat was lowered, provisions were deposited therein, and we quitted the little Mer maid with feelings of deep regret The Turk kept grumbling and growl ing as the beat vtaa whirled wildly tlong before the blast and held oa firm ly to the arm of his fair property, as ll sow fearf nl that she might escape him. There were fifteen men in all in the luster, and many lowering glances ere directed toward the Turk by the tailors. They all sympathized with the maiden, and wished something would happen to free her from her purchaser. The captain, however, who was under obligations to the Turk a wealthy merchant for many favors iu the way of trade and presents and in other ways, would reprove the hands for 'their behavior. He was a Russian, and his words were delivered in the harsh tones peculiar to the people of that na tion. His speech grated upon the of the pretty Circassian girl, accustom ed to the rich, musical language of her HI raised her land ta her Bttie, pink eara! while a alight frown contracted her brow. - ' . . - All Bight we were tossed upon a wlU sea, expecting every moment to b swamped, hat at daylight the gale abated considerably, and wa saw land right ahead. Something else we saw, too a small fishing smack shooting along toward us, close hauled, like a bird oa tha wing. "Guitare's boat!" exclaimed the girl, delighted, clapping her small "T ank, oh' tank, tonaand storm for dial" Tbe Turk frowned darkly and draw his ugly looking scimitar. Ho knew enough of English to understand tha girl, and, with angry motions of his weapon, he now Intimated that he would chop off her lover's head If he attempted to take her away from him, "No, yon won't." shouted a sturdy English tar, springing to his feet "Fall play a fair fight for the girl I What say yon, mates V "Aye, aye!" waa heard on all aides.

"A fair fight!" shouted several sail ors. Interposing. "No, no," cried the captain. "The girl belongs to the Turk; he purchased her." "No difference, no difference!" cried all hands. "They must fight for her. He had no right to buy her." As there waa no help for It the cap tain was obliged to witness what fol lowed. First the young pearl-diver, gently putting the girl to one aide, drew a long knife; then he struck the Turk over the cheek with his left hand. The merchant flaming with' rage, dashed toward him, and the combat commenced within about fifty yards of the very coast whence Gustavo was wont to dive for his pearls. He had tacked the moment he picked np the party, and was now running along al most in the shadow of a low rock crowned with verdure and projecting far out into the water. Tbe knives of the combatants clashed again and again; many cuts were given ana received on do in siaes. ine xnrx ' grew more furious every moment Fl-1 nally he aimed at the young man's neck a terrible blow, which must have taken ' off his head but for his leaping quickly backward.

Scorpion and Beara Especially Suscep tible to a Concord of Rounds. It Is a little remarkable that none Ol the many talented musicians of Chi cago has endeavored to charm the anl- J mals at the Lincoln Park zoo with their melodies. It Is well known that many members of the brute creation are par- ticularly fond of instrumental music, Iu an Eastern city the violin was used recently with Interesting result in ex periments with all sorts of living crea tures. First it was played before a tarantula. She paid no attention whatj ever to it But a nest of scorpions b4 came intensely excited and wiggled frantically. A cobra showed remark able susceptibility. She was sleeping soundly when the experimenters ap proached her, but the first tone awak ened her and she raised her head. Aa tbe music swelled she continued to rise till she was standing straight as a pil lar, supported only by her tail. Every change in tempo and pitch had effect The pizzicato made her puff her entire body. Swift waltz music caused her to erect her ugly hood to Its fullest sis and a sudden dissonance made her wind and twist her body as If she were in real agony. The polar bear tried to dance to the sounds of the Instrument At least he swayed his body rhythmically and made a rumbling sound which betrayed deep pleasure. The grizzlies and the lions moved their paws and the lions their tails also In time with the music It happened that a string snapped with Its peculiar sharp smack Just as the player had begun to perform before the cage of a hyena. That poor animal at once hunched its back up, drew its tall between the legs and crouched trem bling In the furthest corner of the cage. The elephant and the ostrich were de lighted by soft tones.

They did sot understand multiplication, or any other part of the Klence of arithmetic, a we do. Their yatem of notation waa clumsy, and yet It was, to a certain extent, satisfac tory; at least It was founded oa princi ples that were easily understood and remembered. ! The fundamental principle is the use if five letters of the alphabet to express bumbers, thus: I represents one; V, five; X. ten; L, fifty; C one hundred; D, five hundred; M, one thousand. They expressed addition and multiplication by combining these letters according to certain fixed rules. The first rule is that the repetition of i letter repeats Its value; as X, ten; XX, twenty. Tbe second rule Is that trhen a letter is put before one of great er value than It represents, the comb ination expresses the , difference In their value; as, I, one; V, five; IV, four, rhe third rule Is that when a letter Is put after one of greater value the com bination expresses tbe sum of their values; as, V, five; I, one VI, six. The fourth snd last rule Is that a dash over the letters In an expression Is equlv tlent to a multiplication by one thou sand; as, IV, with a dash extending over both letters, expresses four thou sand. So, you see, they bad a system of multiplication, though It was a clumsy ne. They knew nothing about the sys tem that we now have, which came In with the Introduction of the so-called Arabic figures.

If you go with rour head lopping forward you look ike an enervated apology for yourself, and pretty soon you will begin to feel s "hangdog" as you look.

Poot-Blndins la No Leaser Considered fttylieb. In China. Fashion is responsive for many evUs, but now and then It does the world a good turn. It Is doing so now In China, for what persuasion and reason ing could only In a small measure ac complish In the direction of the sup pression of foot-binding, fashion Is ef fecting much more quickly. Tbe gov ernor of Hunan, until lately the most bitterly anti-foreign of all the provinces f China, has issued a proclamation dis couraging tbe cruel custom throughout bis province. Antl-foot-blndlng societes are multi plying rapidly in tbe province. - One so ciety numbers thousands of members who pay two taels a little less than s dollar and three-quarters entrance money, and one Mexican dollar aboul half an American dollar as an annual subscription afterward. The fact thai the majority of those entering tbe society-are paying members shows that th movement is among the better classes and that foot-blndlng Is becoming un fashionable. The proceeds of the members' feet are devoted to a good purpose, no othei than the providing of dowries for poot girls who could not otherwise find re spectable husbands because they hav natural-slsed feet A very decided Indication of the growing unfashlonableness of foot binding is furnished by a conversatloc overheard on board a river steamer 1e China, and printed by the Sunday at Home. Several well-to-do young men of Chi na were ciscussing tne question oi what sort of a wife one of their num ber, who waa contemplating matri mony, ought to try to secure. Among other advantages he was advised tc look for a wife with natural feet, ai bound feet were already reckoned un fashionable. The tracts written against the crueltj of foot-blndlng are In great demand Even non-Christians write against th evil, but they are frank enough to con fess that it was the Christian ladlei who led the way to the reform, and they circulate the missionary tractj along with their own.

The national anthem of the Boers was written by an old lady who is at present living a peaceful, obscure life In Holland. This lady. Miss Catherine Felicia Van Bees, was born In Holland, at Zutpben, In 1831. She Is an excellent musician, and In her youth she com posed several operettas which were performed by the Choral Society of L'trecht. At one of these performances she made the acquaintance of Mr. Burgers, a member of the society, who was at that time studying theology In the University of Utrecht. In 1875 Burgers, who In tbe meantime had be come President of the South African Republic, went back to Europe and re newed the acquaintance of his old friend. Miss Van Kees. One day he begged her to write a national hymn for the Transvaal, and in a few hours the lady wrote both words and music for what Is now the Boers' national hymn. The burghers were so pleased with the composition that the Tolks raad of Pretoria officially accepted the work and sent Miss Van Sees a letter of thanks and congratulations. The composition Is very popular among tbe Boers, and It is said that the British soldiers In South Africa have heard It so often that 'many of them now sing and whistle It. - One or Arterana Ward's Stories.

The devil is tha father of every doubt A quiet mule la better than a balky horse. Patience will cure mora pain than physic. The seed of prayer always springs up Into praise. The devil baa a mortgage on every boy who smokes. Love that enriches not another im poverishes Itself. The less you value the world the more It is worth to you. A man may have a good deal of re ligion and yet not have Christ. A minute with God In the morning will mean God with you aU day. An un regenerated conscience may make you a conscientious brute. Heavenly mindedness Is for the office and store as well as for the church. To be contented with what we have la about the same as to own the earth. There Is no case on record where Qod ever blessed a man against his wllL In speaking with God remember men; In speaking with men remember God. People do not grow much in grace while they are having their own way. A warm-hearted preacher will gener ally find a way to warm up a cold church. ' The devil would rather start a church fuss any time than to sell a barrel of whisky. One of the biggest fools In the world Is the man who thinks the devil's husks can make him fat. One of the hardest things the devil has ever tried to do is to put a long face on a happy Christian. When the devil was cast out of heav en he stole an angel's robe with which to hide his cloven hoof. MAKING A VAST PORTRAIT. Painting a Face Seventy Feet by Forty five, on Broadway. The Broadway throngs passing a cer tain corner forgot their usual rush, and frequently the sidewalks are congest ed as the crowds stop and look up at the side wall of a building, says tbe New Tork Mail and Express. They stand upon the swinging bridges and walk up and down them with as little concern as if they were threading the flagstones beneath. But what attracts the spectators more than anything else Is the nature of their work. They are painting a colossal portrait on the side of the walL Tbe oval in which the bead Is contained Is five stories in height and about three in breadth, or about 70 feet high and 45 feet wide. The resemblance to the man whom It Is Intended to represent is striking, and the accuracy with which the lines are drawn is remarkable when the else of the picture and the proxlmilty of the painters Is considered. The swinging scaffolding is, of course, directly against the wall, and there can be no "stepping back" to see the effect of the work, but every line Is as true as a plummet, and to a drawing master the "drawing" would be considered almost faultless. The men work from a small photo graph, held in the left hand while they put in the lines with the right. The artist at first began to make a small portrait, only about two stories high, and had finished up a third of It when for some reason a change in the size was determined upon, and, leaving the smaller sketch aa It was, worked the larger over It, giving It a rather weird effect. Found the Ends. An Irishman who was out of work went on board a vessel that waa In the harbor and asked the captain If he could find him work on the ship. "Well," said the captain, at the same time handing the Irishman a piece of rope, "if you can find three ends to that rope you shall have some work. The Irishman got bold of the rope, and, showing It to the captain, said: "That's one end, your honor." Then he took hold of the other end, and. showing It to the captain as before. said, "And that's two ends, your hon or." Then, taking hold of both ends of the rope, he threw it overboard, say ing, "And, faith, there's another end to It, your honor." He was Immediately engaged. Lon don King.
