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

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.
The tubing boat came nearer every
moment and soon we were all taken
aboard, when, with a glad cry, the Clr-
glrl rushed Into her lover's
The Turk advanced, lire gleaming la
his eye.
"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.

sounds of the Instrument At least he
swayed his body rhythmically and
made a rumbling sound which betrayed
deep pleasure. The grizzlies and the

One of oar hoys wants to know how
the ancient Romans performed simple
auitipUcatlon. 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. In the beginning of the
thirteenth century.
Birds, Beaata and Telegraph Pole.
To creatures Incapable of understand-

were naturally misleading. A London

introduced Into Norway they had a dis-
juletlng effect on the bears.
The bears heard the moaning of the
a'tud in tbe wires, and proceeded to put
two and two together. Such a buzxing
is this had been beard before. It was
issociated In the minds of the bears

Hold Up Your Head I
One of the best ways In the world to
xeep the shoulders straight Is to hold
(he head up In the air. 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. A long-con
tinued bablt of keeping the head bent
orward tends to develop the character
sties that the attitude Implies; you get
louchy in your dress. Irresolute In your
abit of speech, absent-minded, and
(ikely enough, finally, a poor, sneaking
counterfeit of a boy or girL Bo hold up
your head physically and It will help
you to hold up your head spiritually
and mentally. Your tendency will be
to breathe deeper, to walk freer and to
see more of the world. The earth is
beneath. The sky, trees, human faces
and hosts of other Interesting things are
so high up that yon will not see them at
all unless you throw back yonr shoul
ders and lift up your head to Its natu
ral and honorable place. A bent head
tends to make the shoulders rounl, the
chest hollow, tbe gait poor, for your
tendency Is always to be pitching for
ward, and so we find that "stoop-shouldered"
persons develop lung trouble,
plnal trouble and a generally undesir
able condition. Hold up your head!

FASHION AS A REFORMER.
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.

A WOMAN OF HOLLAND
Composed tha Boar National Anthem
Now Bans: hr British, Too.
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. -

Inaecta that Get Drunk.
Yes, bumble bes, files, butterflies, and
beetles are habitual drunkards. If the
statements of a certain Dr. Weir ar
to be believed. He found that in some
3t the Southern States these Insects
alighted on certain plants (Kosmos di
ve rslfollus and Kosmos bipannatus),
drink heartily from the callxes of the
blossoms, fall prostrate to the ground,
and after awhile rise Into tbe air and
By around like mad, Just as drunken
men would do if they could fly.
Dr. Weir then collected the pollen of
these plants, half a teaspoonful, to see
whether it would affect a man In the
same way. He swallowed this, and
after fifteen minutes found that his
pulse beat faster and there was a slight
rise in the temperature of his body.
Then he gathered the blossoms, distill
ed them in water, and administered a
hypodermic Injection in his left arm.
Almost Immediately the pulse was ac
celerated and after a half hour he felt
iecidedly dizzy. By this observation ol
the Insects Dr. Weir was led to the dis
covery of an aetherizing oil In these
plants, affecting man and Insect alike

HOW TO BUT A CARRIAGE.
It is possible to save from $20 to $75
on carriages or other vehicles by pur
chasing from a manufacturer who sells
direct to consumers. A reliable house
and perhaps the oldest one doing busi
ness on this plan is the Elkhart Car
riage and Harness Mfg. Co., of Elkhart.
Indiana. Their vehicles and harness
are of the best both in style and qual
ity, and at prices that are right. Their
customers always get satisfaction. See
their advertisement in this paper.

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
