"1'id you ever h- itr me Mty anything about mil r any other seaman's bihle?" allied the Cap'n with foiced t almiiess. "N o." replied the lubber, slowlr, "hut I've been le. to think that all tho Imiv-s who went to st :t took one along. At bllst, thev did III the Sundav schiMiI ln. ks I li-t .1 to read.

"Ami he always shipped a biblo with the rest of his dunnage, eh?" vetituicl the Cap'n, with the evident intent ion i.f di avt ing the lubber out. "Yes. the bov ge ierally had a I'.iblo tucked under his arm with a b.ok mail st lekii g out of the back end of it, in the picture wheie he is bidding his mother good by before going to sea. She has her hands o.er her face and is weeping bitteilv, poor woman, while he gnes manfully up nt her from under his ulaed cap 1. rim. And thev al Ways have his clothes-chest showing iu the i.ictiite. 'I his is a small, s piar bo with a lope h in. lie in each end. and contains besides his clothes a num ber of healthful tract for the bailors. "It has been so long -ince I read one of tin-hooks that I've forgotten just how the story goes.

At d every iiipht i:i the foreciislle he leads a chapter from his bible ami then k.ut'li down beside his bunk to p'av, while the sailors heave I libber hoots ht hi- head. but the noble boy pcr-eveies, and after awhile manages to ht, er the sailors into a religious train of thought. He then pa-scs among them with his tia. ts and leans on the t ill'iiiil Moonlight nights telling tic rude but large hem teii sailors of a better and pilier home be; olid tho skies. When the Voyage is over ho comes Imme with curly whiskers and a big bagful of gold just iii time to save his mother from the cruel landlord, who i- ttt h hi t to forci lose the mortgage) and throw the unhappy lady out of tho house, l'vn often thought I would like to bo a hitilor niy-elf," concluded the lubber, "but I'm afraid I'm not re ligious enough, am I V" "Haittly, replied the t ap n, serious lv.

I havo often wondered myself xv hy sailors j.av ho little liei d to tin ir spiritual wcltato. They probably fit 1 that the w ustdeal thev ran get in a future, statu will be a soft berth compared to their natural lives. "lint we once had a leligimis chaj aboard, one Cyrus Ililger. of Ohio.

That was his hest hold. When a man isn't good for anything els? he makes a 1ig spread on jwilite iiess or religion and sometimes lnith. "Young ISilger's rhief duty alward the ship was xweoping gangways and dumping out spitdtoxes. Whenerer tho boatswain's mate iiied. 'Clean, weep down foro an' aft. an' dump owl all yer spitdioxes.' 1'ilper would say, 'Certainly, with the greatest of pleas ure.' Then he would stack up half a d..eii spitt'tons and juggle tliem up forward, where he would give them a bath. Tho sailors often guyed him altout this job, but ho would only smile and nay, 'Wo ohould never weary of welldoing.' Jlnt Uilger eiinieotit strong later on and showed us that he had the making of a sea man in him in spite of his milky ways. "He went ftshore one day, d res setl in his best suit of elothes.

"Well, r.ilgcr went ashore w ith the liberty party, ami they got him drunk. I hud cliarge of the launch that went in to fetch the piut. olf to the ship. (u the fust tiio we bionglit them all t'f but two, Jiilger and a tlrcmun named Price. Puce was a Welshman, whom we nicknamed Tally f t short.

He ii' Ver had the pant s al'ered to fit his sholt b gs, cotise I'lelltly they looked like a pair of uccoidions. All his lin gers wire gone nt the second joint, owing to an incident he Met with in tin- tiro-room. They were taking up the iioti deck J. lutes one day. One of the men with arrowhar got a pineh between the joints, ami raised a plate which weighed aliout iHMI pounds. Taffy was standing on the plate at the time, and, stooping over, ho put his lingers in the ciaek and be van to lift. Ji.it the crowbar slipped, the plate came down with Tally standing on it, and broke his fingers off." Verv sad accident," linn inured the lubb.r." "Yes. Well, when we got back on the second trip Taffy and Jiilger had been having a h 1 of a time. They were lmth drunk, Uilger having tho biggest hmd and Titttv was kindly taking rare of him. While wo worn aw,;y on the first trip Hilger concluded tli tt it would be a good idea to swim off to the ship ahu ll two miles. So, without Haying a word to his guardian, fltr'- ''SJfirJ&s-'S -Htrx, II K ciH l.l'N'l i T T1IK SIIII'.T i.KK, Taffy, ho plunged off the dock with his clothes on. I'ilger roiihbi't swim a stroke, and. as his head ports were open, he tilled, and would have goiio to the bottom hud a native not jumped in and pulled him out." "Where was this, Cap'n? "On uu i-laml in the South Pacific of course I'ilger felt v, i 1 1 omfortable with his wet clothes on, and as h.hiii as he got his breath he proceeded to strip, Taffy helping him. All went well with bilgiT till he got to his shirt, w hich he pulled off over his head iu the usual way. He forgot, however, to unbutton the cuffs. The cuff of a man-of-war shirt tits tight to the wrist, and ii fas tened with three horn buttons, sew ed iV i with waxed thread. So when Jiil ger skinned his shirt off the sleeves turned wrong side out and clung to his wrists elo-er than a brother. He was too drunk to know w hat w us the mutter, so ho got excited, Taffy was helping him, but he broke away and went galloping along the beach, howl ing like a wild man, and waving tho wet, soggy shirt iu the air. "When wo reached tho dock Taffv w as pursuing the unhappy Jiilger. lint as lie w as Hiiort-iiatnU'il on nngers and Hilger's liodv being wet and slippery he couldn't hold him. Two or threo i f us started ti help Taffy, but he waved us back: said li wan sailing that craft himself aiul didn't want any m s help, flo wa tat down and waited while they wont ahead with the per formance, and down the bpsch jther flew, Uilger in tho lead, with Taffr close b'hind. Sometimes one And sometinx Isith of them were Standing on tl e shirt or tearing at it with tooth aid nail. Then Uilger would break nwav and lash the trees with his shirt, in the meantime shriek ing and frothing at the mouth. "At last thev wore the shirt ont and Bilger was freo, except for A pair of nice, warm flannel bracelets. Then we tried to los t him into theloat, but he clutched the iron stanchions on either side of tho gang-way and hung back. Ho wanted to swim." We hauled and jerked, wliile Taffy got behind nd prodded Uilger with Ids ringer stumps. This scheme wouldn't work, so Taffr suddenly grabbed liis friend by the legs and turned him a forward honicrsault into tin Istttom of the boat. Then we started for tho ship. On tho way Itilgrr made a wild break and got huff way over the side, but Taffr hailed him back. Then Taffy luid on his back in the bottom of the I fiat and clasping Uilger around tho middle with Itoth arms, hung on.

Fish Insensible to Fain. 1 have read many articles on the s ib jcrt of whether fish vvh.m caught on the hook feel any pain or whether their struggles were merely thu result of find ing themselves fast. I fish a great deal in the summer months for trout, has-and pickerel, mid have done so for many years, says a writer in the J-'n-nt mid filrriiiii. 1 have studied tin1 matter Very carefully and have made up my mind from various incidents that have coinu under my observation that tls'u are not hi'iisitive to pain us am warm blended animals. I will cite two in-tances 'hat show to me plainly that I must be right iu my conclusions on this nuh jet : J. 1st October, while fishing for pick erel oil bake Cary, Wyoming County, Penn., in company with a companion, among other fish that we caught was a picktsiul that would weigh nearly, if not quite, thirty-one pounds. My friend pulled it up, mid as it can'." on to the top I saw about twelve feet of a very coarse brown line hanging to it. I'pon inspect ing it more closely 1 found that tho tish had in its side 11 very strong and coarse hunk, to which the piece of line was attached. The wound must . have been made n very short lime previous to our catching tho fish, for it was bleeding quite freely and looked very fresh, and if the fish rould ferl pain it would rcrtainly have deterred it from taking our hook so soon after such au injury. There was only one other party fishing on the lake that day, as it wasfi;ild und windy, and that pickerel must have received hit in jury from them and have come nearly across the lake to us, dragging that piece of heavy line with hi n. The other instance occurred in this way : '"I win fishing for pickerel with a 'skipping bait' a piece of pork rind or a piece of pickerel and hiel with me u friend who, though h" could handle a brigade under a heavy fire, was not up to the trick of catching fish that way. I was having fairly good sport, but hc got impatient, and finally, when hc had a good strike, he jerked so hard u to break his line, and away went the fish. and he at once proposed to go home; but 1 told him in joke if he would wait tive or ten minutes I would catch that fish and gut back hi hook. So we sat down and had a short smoke. I soon commenced to cast my- hook near when; he lost his fish. I hail a strike, und to our mutual surprise out came the General's fish with his hook well fastened in its mouth. Now, I don't thiuk the fish would have taken the bait so soon had it buua iu any aiu from the hook." bosses In llattle. General Thcodoro A.
