Lewis. * On the passenger list of the Ocean Queen as she sailed from Melbourne for London on the 16th of August, 1881, was the name of James Melwlll, an Englishman, and if there ever was a sleeker, slicker man got Into print I have not read of him. He hadn't the sleek, slick way of a hypocritical mis sionary or purson, but It was a way of his own. He was a dandy In figure and dress. He had the Innocent face of a child. He was guileless and in genuous. He seemed to know so little of the world that you wondered where he had passed his 30 yearß of life. He wanted to make everybody's acquaint ance and be friends with all. You couldn't help but set him down for a good fellow just to look at him, and when you had listened to his droll sto ries in the smoking room, his songs in the cabin and the fairy stories he told the children you had to agree that he was Justly a favorite. No one seemed to know Jimmy, as he asked us to call him, beyond know ing that he lived up the country on a big horse farm and was worth half a million dollars. It turned out that no one really knew that, but had taken his word for it. However, it was no one's business to know him. He was going back to England after a bride, and all the ladies aboard agreed that he was a good catch and the girl was In luck. Perhaps I got more out of Mr. Melwill than any other passenger. It was more, and at the same time It was less. In speaking of his horse farm to me he had been foolish enough to locate It. It was far distant from Melbourne, and It was In an out of the way place, but it so happened that I had sheepherded and prospected all over that range and knew his story to be false. He saw by my looks that I knew it to be so, and he at once turned the conversation and refused any further Information. Women will lie when there Is no object, but men generally plan to make a lie serve a purpose. I tried to figure out why Jimmy should lie, but the best guess 1 could make at It was that he wanted to pass for a richer man than he was. There w as nothing tad about that, and I didn't permit the falsehood to open any breach between us. When we came to shake ourselves down aboard, I noticed that there were a lot of rather tough looking men among the steerage passengers. It was explained that they were going to the Cape to work on a new railroad. As near as I could size them up they were all colonials and men more used to horses than picks and shovels. Your true navvy, or day laborer, would have sprawled in the shade and slept and smoked and been content. I picked out a dozen or more of the so called worklngmen who were nervous and uneasy, and they often formed little groups and seemed to bold much con verse In whispers. This, however, was only a trifling incident. People on shipboard have nothing to do but gos sip and observe. A man who would not walk ten steps on land to see a cap tive eagle will sit for an hour and watch th * erratic flight of a gull. I think tbd sleek Jimmy must have caught 1 le watching the steerage pas sengers, for he took occasion one day to observe: "There seems to be a fine lot of men going out to the Cape with us?" "As far as bone and muscle go,"1 re plied. "But It takes bone and muscle to build railroads." "Of course, but this Is the first time I ever heard of Australians being ship ped to the (Jape for such work. Is there any scarcity of native help? I can't Imagine one of those chaps over yonder with his soft hands doing much with pick and shovel." "No, perhaps not," replied Jimmy In an absent way as he looked at me through half closed eyes. Then he extended his cigar case, pro posed a game of euchre, and the sub ject was dropped. I don't claim that I was suspicious of Jimmy or that I was disturbed by the gang In the steerage. On the contrary, I was perfectly easy In my mind In all respects. I had read In the Australian papers that the Ocean Queen was carrying home more than a million dollars In gold. In fact, I had seen most of the boxes brought aboard and taken down to the strong room. All other passengers must have been aware of the treasure, but there was little or no talk about It. I think the sleek, slick man was the only one I heard say anything about It. As we sat smoking and yarning one day he carelessly mentioned the treasure and then wondered how much all the gold and silver lost by shipwreck would amount to. It Is a wide expanse of ocean be tween the rape and Australia, and at the end of a week we had all settled down Into grooves and fallen Into a monotonous routine.

The news went over the ship, and In a moment everybody was inter tested and anxious. The ship in dis tress was a brig, and, so far as any of us could make out, she was all right alow and aloft. If she hadn't sprung a leak, then it must be a case of fever or mutiny, or perhaps she had run short of water and provisions. Jimmy Stood beside me as we bore down on the brig, and, although I twice asked him what he thought about it.he did not seem to hear me. I turned to look at him as he closed his glass and found a smile 011 his face. "You don't think it a joke, do you?" I asked rather brusquely. "Oh, no, 110!" he replied, smiling and chuckliug at the same time. "No; it's no Joke. There will be 110 laughing over it." Ills tones were sarcastic, and for an Instant there was a look of triumph In his eyes. Then he turned away, and 1 gave the brig my attention. We ran down to within half a mile of her be fore our engines were stopped. Only three men were visible on her decks, and she hadn't a boat in sight. The trio beckoned and motioned that we should send a boat, and the captain gave orders that one should be lowered. "It will be a case of fever," he said, "with all the officers and most of the men down," and the surgeon was sent off with the boat, which was in charge ef the second mate. Eight of our crew were thus taken. The boat had pulled half the distance to the brig when wo had something nearer home to attract attention. The sleek, slick little Jim my suddenly held a cocked revolver to the captain's ear and marched him Into his stateroom. Fourteen of the "railroad" men from the steerage, each armed with a pistol and knife, sudden ly appeared among us, and it wasn't three minutes before the whole crowd of us were In the cabin and a guard over us. The engine room was taken possession of at the same time, and the Ocean Queen had been taken pos session of without a shot being fired. The brig was lying broadside to us. She had two boats down on the far side, with 15 men In each boat, and as soon as they had pulled around and captured out yawl one boatload of the rascals came aboard the Queen, and the steamer was worked down along side the brig. The sea was smooth, and the fellows could lash the craft together without fear of disaster. We had been taken completely by surprise and had no show. They had the gold out and transferred within an hour. It is to the credit of the rascally gang to say that they were under good control and Insulted no one. After the gold was disposed of they robbed the ship of a lot of bedding and pro visions, and at the last the sleek, slick man came down Into the cabin to say a few words. He was smiling and good natured. He patted the children, bowed to the ladies and waved his hand to the men. "My dear friends," he said in that soft, silky voice of his, "I hope that I have given you no trouble. Rather let me hope that you will look upon it as an Incident to break the monotony of the voyage. I do not wish to search you one by one, like a footpad or a bushranger, but will trust to your hon esty to hand over your money and Jewels. I have figured on about the amount I should get. If I get it, 110 one will be further disturbed. If I don't get it, there will be room aboard the brig for most of the ladies." I gave up half my possessions, and I presume the other passengers retained a share aa well, but the money, watch es, rings, brooches, etc., laid on the table before the pirate had a good round value and seemed to satisfy him. He swept everything into a sack, bade us a fond adieu and within ten minutes was sailing away In the brig. The en gines were disabled before they left, and the crew of the mate's boat was sent back to us, and as no one had been killed we were fain to think we had come off fairly well. We lay rolling in midocean for four days before the en gineer had made repairs, and by that time the brig was several hundred miles away. Even had we known her course and position, it would have nvalled nothing. We made a slow run for the remainder of the voyage, and it was three weeks before a man-of-war started oat to look for the pirate craft. It had been a Job put up in Australia, and It had worked to perfection. It may be that the brig returned to that coast an<l landed and divided the swag, but as she hail a dozen different places to choose from she had no fear of cap ture. So far as I have been able to learn she was never heard from, though the search was kept up for a year or more. There was enough plunder to set each one up handsomely, and I have always thought of Jimmy the slick one as touring about in the finest raiment, drinking the rarest wines and making himself a favorite wherever bo stopped for a week.

If the former Is employ ed, it will have to be flatted, whereas the latter finishes in a dull, rough fash ion. which is just the thing required. It might of course be possible to re move the paint with great care and ; have the chest either sandpapered or planed up, but this is a laborious course compared to the satisfactory short cut already mentioned.

FRIENDLY BACTERIA. Hot Ail the Tiny C'rC'ii t a rcn Are In inileal to Human Life. The time lias passed when bacteria are, looked upon as unmixed evils. These little "plants owe their somewhat unsavory reputation in large degree to the fact that they tirst attracted gen eral interest because of their power of ■ producing disease. That they are the cause of many human diseases lias been demonstrated beyond peradven ture, and this subject has proved so fascinating that it was for a long time the only side of bacteriological phe- ! nomena which received any considera- | bin attention. As a result bacteria j have acquired the popular reputation. ! of being producers of evil to mankind and have consequently been regarded j as wholly undesirable organisms. The I studies of recent years, however, have been giving more attention to phases j uf bacteriological life which are not j connected with disease. These studies j have disclosed to us a large series of j phenomena where these little plants ! are in various ways of direct advan tage to mankind. Among other facta we have been slowly learning that in the preparation of the food which comes upon our tables and in its di gestion the bacilli play no inconsidera ble part, says a writer in The Interna tional Monthly. Since they are almost inconceivably minute, bacteria owe their great intlu ence in nature to their wonderful pow ers of reproduction. A single individ ual may in the course of 24 hours pro duce from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 off spring. This extraordinary power of reproduction involves the consumption of a vast amount of food material, and profound alterations are produced in this food as the bacteria feed upon it. The bacteria are so small that they probably do not take the food inside of their bodies, but they live in the midst of their food and digest it outside of themselves. This results in certain chemical changes in the nature of the j food. These changes are mostly of that character which the chemist calls destructive. Under the action of bac teria chemical molecules which are of a high complexity are constantly being pulled to pieces and reduced to simpler compounds. As a result of this chem ical action there appears in the food mass upon which the bacteria are feed ing a variety of new chemical com pounds. These new compounds are in part simply byproducts of the chemical destruction of the molecules which they have pulled to pieces, but they are also in part to be regarded as ex cretions from the bacteria. The use of bacteria in connection with food de pends partly upon their power of de struction and partly upon the nature of these new compounds which they pro duce. In considering the use of bacteria in food we may notice first a possible val ue they may possess in assisting the processes of digestion. The digestion that takes place in our stomach and intestines consists in a chemical change in the food. Now, the stomach and intestines are crowded with bacte ria in inconceivable numbers. As bac teriologists have studied the action of these intestinal bacteria upon such food as we take into our stomachs they find that the bacteria produce chemical changes in the food in many respects similar to those of ordinary digestion. As these bacteria certainly grow rapidly in the intestines the ques tion has naturally arisen whether they may not aid the digestive juice in the digestive process, even in a healthy individual. Sew Primary Mattery. A student of electricity living near Eaton, 0., has perfected a primary bat tery that may revolutionize industry. The battery which he has just complet ed will give, it is claimed, a steady cur rent of 12 volts per square cell at about 50 amperes. Unlike any other primary cell, it keeps up a constant current un til exhausted. Eight quart cells will run a two horsepower motor 10 hours at an expense of 10 cents. Ten cells will burn twelve 32 candle power lamps ten hours. The cell differs from any other form in that the exciting fluid is dropped into the cell at the rate of one drop a minute while the battery remains in use. Its cheapness of main tenance and great power, it is claimed, will cause its universal adoption on power lines. Almost every house and business place will have its own light ing plant and power for running sew ing machines, fans, etc. The highest voltage now obtained from the best form of primary battery is nearly two volts to a gallon cell and then only for a few minutes, as the current rapidly runs rown.—Boston Herald. Cold Air Fan», Electric fans for creating a breeze are now universally known, but a new variation of the idea is announced by The Electrical Review. The improved fan is mounted over a large, hollow pedestal or hopper. This pedestal has a door through which it may be filled With ice. The electric fan draws a current of air in at the bottom of the pedestal and around through the ice and then forces it out through the loom, cooled to a low temperature. The largest sizes hold 75 pounds of ice. The consumption of ice varies with the prevailing beat and the speed given to the fan. It Is nil poppycock to ask or expect the average farmer to keep his front door yard nicely trimmed with a lawn mower, as may and should be done by a city resident. There is too much to do and look after to take care of a farmhouse door yard in this manner. The best way to care for the front yard in the country is to make it large, not have too many trees in it and then run the farm mowing machine over it ev ery two or three weeks. By so doing the grass can be kept in very good shape and the yard made attractive. And Still Men Continue to Marry. •"My wife contradicts nie continually."

GOOD MOSQUITOES NOW. illMet'tM That Have Been Turned From Their Kvtl Ways. Mankind may be doubly benefited by the experiments reported by the New York Herald and now being conducted ] by Dr. W. N. Berkeley, who expects to 1 prove that the germs of malaria are transmitted by mosquitoes. In the | meantime if the patient now in Belle vue who has permitted Dr. Berkeley's mosquitoes to feed upon his blood is to be taken seriously it may be possible to breed a new species of the winged 1 pest that will refuse to attack human ity, but will wage a war of extermina- I i tion upon tl<e Jersey man eaters. I Ceo:. i.. ns, who, despite the fact that he is in the grip of malaria, seems to still possess a keen sense of humor, j avers that while some of the mosqui- , i toes did not hesitate to gorge them- : selves with his blood when offered the J opportunity others refused to attach j themselves to his arm. These waited , until the bloodsuckers had filled them- 1 j selves, when they attacked them, and, | , being larger and stronger than the oth- j ers. had little difficulty in killing them, j Dr. Berkeley refuses to discuss his experiments, saying that his work has 1 not proceeded far enough to warrant gpprt MOSQUITOES AT WOKK. his talking of results. In the hospital, i too, the physicians say that profession al ethics compel them to keep silence. | Lyons, whose home is at 351 First ' avenue, is shaking in ward No. 19 in Bellevue hospital with what is known as chills and fever, but which the doc tors say is malignant malaria. Last Saturday, at Dr. Berkeley's request, he bared his arm and permitted a swarm of mosquitoes which were confined in a glass tube to eat at his expense. The process was simple. The tube was inverted upon the man's arm, and Boon the insects, which had been starv ed for 24 hours, alighted and began op erations—that is, some of them did. According to Mr. Lyons, there were others that were more considerate of his feelings. The blood fed insects were taken to his laboratory by Dr. Berkeley, where they will bo closely watched. After a few days they will be permitted to again feed upon the blood of a well man. It is believed that they will in troduce into his veins malarial poison. This will be easily counteracted, as the symptoms will be quickly heeded and antidotes administered at the first ap pearance of malaria. Heform In Barbers* Shops. A timely article by a prominent doc tor summarized the results of the movement in several of the large cit ies and smaller municipalities In this country and Europe that have formu lated and enacted a fairly practical and effective barbers' act. The ex pense of boiling scissors, clippers and razors after each using is little or noth ing. The sterilization of the hands afresh for each patron is surely not a grievous requirement. Brushes and shaving brushes can be abolished alto gether and to great advantage. That the towels should be freshly laundered (not ironed hastily in the back room and brought back for a second service, as is too often the case now) seems only a matter of common decency. It is not to be hoped, however, that the older, less progressive barbers will adopt these measures of their own free will. They must be compelled to take the necessary steps at once and learn the reasons at their leisure.—Pedia trics. Nasal CATARRH /fefh In all Its stages ther6 A should be cleanliness.
