DEATH IN THE STORM. PITILESS WORK OF THEGIANT TWINS, WIND AND WAVE. Ron Crncl at Tlmra Srrm the Ocean Til Mont Fopnlnnn Crnicrjr on the riAtixt. The Land the llnnk Trlle of Where "There Shell Iln Xo Moro Bra." And there wm no more Itavulntlnn xl, I. What s etraBjfo mystery the ocean hi 8omt?times it holds yonr little craft m tenderlyas a mothor holds herchild, nnrt yon wonder tlint the charge of caprice can be broriKbt against it. At othor times it Is like nn nngry ogre vcho linn a tyrant's power and nses it like a tyrant. It ia a inarvelons sight, a spectacle of thrilling magnificence which make the Mood tingle, to stand on the beach at inch time and watch the serried col umns of white capped rollers dash them selves to pieces on the sands. They re mind yon of Napoleon's army at Water loo, which had wandered over Enrope with victorions Imnners, which dreamed of no force which conld resist its prog ress, but suddenly found itself face to face with its master, and then, with tin controlled madness, threw itself to death ts well as to defeat. The hnge array of white capped monarchs, thinking them selves Invincible, attack the shore with ferocious energy and ponnd themselves to spray. The heart beats wildly as this great battle between sea and land fills the air with thunder, nnd poet and painter come from far to witness the conflict lnd describe its glories with pen and brush. But how crnel the ocean can be when it catches our craft at n disadvantage! Wind and waves in unholy alliance, s compact of death, make the world'a cheek blanch with horror ns the work of destruction goes on. These twin giants seem to be moved by ft common hatred of whatever floats, and as thongh every vessel was an intruder on their domnin tear It to pieces and doom it to disaster. The sails are cut into tatters, their masts are torn away as though the rigging were made of pack thread, and the hnge hull is either sent to the bottom or thrown high on the beach in disdain. The sua in very pity creeps behind the veiling clouds for awhilo, and when it ihines again, after the waves have sub sided and the tempest has spent itself, the oast Js strewn with wrecks and many a brave sailor lies with upturned face on the sands. That was sad news which flashed over the wires one Thursday morning. One story followed on the heels of another until disaster seemed to be multiplied by itself, and each account was more pitiful than the last. A fisherman out rode the gale for awhile and then went flown with all hands; a sturdy freighter off Hatteras was dismasted, sprang a leak and sank, leaving only one sur vivor to tell the tale; scores of lesser craft were torn from their anchorage, and the Jersey shore was literally stewn with wreckage. Other vessels which bad managed to outlive the hurricane were towed into harbor, 'either the cap tain or part of the crew missing. The book of Revelation tells us that in that other country from whose bourne no traveler returns "there shall bo no more sea," and on this Sunday morning we breathe a sigh of relief over the statement. We can dispense with its magnificence if we may be rid of its dangers. It has devoured millions of property and is the most populous cem etery on the planet. When the sea gives np its dead, a countless multitude of the lost will reappear. But we are specially impressed with the lesson whfth the great storm empha sizesnamely, the uncertainty of life. On the ocean the unexpected happens more frequently than elsewhere. At one moment a cloudless sky and a musical ripple along the vessel's side. The long roll lifts the craft, which lazily yields to the rhythmio motion of the waters. But danger is in ambush, and after a little ; the puff of wind grows stronger, the long roll is plumed with a white crest, the tempest sonnds its trumpet, and the rig ging, like the strings of an iBolian harp, emits a mournful note like that of a dirge. In another half .hour the whole artillery of nature ia at work, the moan ing vessel is thrown on her beam ends and creaks and groans as though crying ;for mercy. In another hour thore is .nothing visible except aome struggling -sailor clinging to a spar. However, death has many ways of achieving its purpose. Not on the sea alone, but on the land, it does its daily stint, and it behooves ns to romember that sooner or later it will have some thing to say to ns. "All men may die, but I shall live," is the dream of heed lessness. "All men must die, and therefore I," is the fact that is to be recognized and prepared for. Bat we can become indifferent even to this "last enomy." It is not the glum indifference of desperate despair, but the cheerful indifference of perfect faith. If we have no place to go to, it is hard to couteuiplute our exit. But if there is a better place, a residence in which will be added happiness, we may even shake hands with Death, toll him that onr latchstring is always out and he will be welcome whenever he sees fit to come. It is the (ear of tuking a leap in thedark that bids us pause. But if we are aure pf taking a leap into the light we can raaily let go our hold on this rugged life and drop into the life to come. The sea may rage aa it pleases if our next port of entry is heaven, and lurking accidents and diseases may come out of their hid ing places into the open, for at the worst they cun only do us a good turn by open ing the door of a larger and better house to live in. New York Herald. A Story A Wit Painting-. The story is told that a woman once asked Bt. Francis de Bales whether she might use paint to improve her com plexion. His reply was: "Some holy men object to iU use, while others see noth ing wrong in it. I would adopt a mid dle course aud grant yon a dispensation to paint one side of your face only," New York Times. . , . . "ASM BARREL JIMMY." ! FlHt Convert of the Salvation Army In America. Our first convert In America is still living and serving the army In Boston. The history of his reform is a remarka ble one. The conversion of the first of a mighty mnltitude wns brought about by Com missioner Railton, then In command of the American forces of the army, and Superintendent Thomas Byrnes of the New York police. Mr. Byrnes was an inspector of police at the time, early in 1880. It is safe to say that in Salvation Army circles there are very few who do not know Jimmy, by reputation at least. Jimmy was a thief and drunkard when converted in New York in March, 1880., His name is James Kemp. Three times Jimmy narrowly escaped losing his life. On one occasion he was nearly frozen to death ontside Billy Mc Glory's notorious dive. On another oc casion he was so brutally beaten in a Water street dive that he was supposed to be dead. The morgue wagon was called by the police, and the bruised and battered body, apparently dead, was car ried to the morgue. When it, or rather he, arrived there some of the doctors made the discovery that Jimmy still lived, and so he was taken to the hos pital, where he remained four months. His last narrow escape from death was when he drank a quantity of spirits of I wine wnicn ne touna in a cellar, jim my drank so much he went raving mad and tried to hang himself. He was sent to prison for three months for attempt ing suicide. The first Saturday afternoon in March, 1880, Jimmy started out to have some amusement, and hearing that the Salva tion Army, which had Just arrived from England, was going "to show" at Harry Hill's notorious resort he concluded to go there and see what kind of people the soldiers were. When he arrived at Hill's, he found that there was an admission fee, and he, with a drunkard's economy, determined to spend the price of admis sion in a different manner. Toward night he strolled into a dive in Water street, where his Whyo friends painted his back and served his face the same way and wound np the performance by rolling the unfortunate man in the saw- I dust of the dive floor. Jimmy, after sub- ! mitting to their treatment, thought they j would let him stay there all night; but. alas, they kicked him out on the street. Just as Jimmy reached the sidewalk i his cap blew off and fell into an ash bar- rel which was standing near the door of the den. Jimmy tried to recover it, but i in doing so lost his balance and fell head ; first into the barrel. He struggled to j get out, but all his efforts were in vain. He seemed to be there to stay. I A short time after Jimmy's acrobatio feat a policeman came along, and seeing 1 a man's legs in the barrel set to work to : discover who was the owner of them and why he had them in such a position l He took out his club and struck the in- ' verted man on the soles of his feet. , These means are sometimes resorted to , by policemen to arouse drunken men. From the depths of the barrel came a ' voice which the policeman at once recog nized. He rapped for assistance, and when another officer appeared on the scene an effort was made to get Jimmy from his novel but painful position. They pulled at the protruding feet, but Jimmy failed to respond, his clothes hav- I ing oeen caugnc on me nans wnicn naa been driven through the barrel. They pulled until the old rotten shoes gave way and were left in their hands. The policemen then threw the barrel down on its side, and laying hold of the unfor tunate man's feet they dragged the bar rel and its howling occupant toward the police station. A pitiful sight was poor Jimmy when be reached the station. His face, which had been blackened by the toughs in the dive, was all battered and bruised, and the raint on his face, mingled with blood, was strongly suggestive of a scalped Indian. His clothes were all torn and his shoes gone. How complete the ruin I How perfect the wreck I Superintendent Byrnes suggested that the Salvation Army be allowed to try ita hand on the man, and the result was bis conversion, aince which time he has served faithfully in ita ranks. Boston Herald. Machine Work and Handwork. It is to be remembered that, notwith ing all we hear of the vast superiority of machine over handwork, this ma chinery must itself possess as great, if not greater, accuracy and refinement than the product manufactured by it. No machine can in this respect be su perior to its maker. It can only produce sufficiently accurate and good work at a lower cost than if made by him. The first sewing machine of a kind, built by 'killed machinists or toolmakera, is at least as good and as accurately made aa any subsequently manufactured by ma chinery, and the some men can dupli cate it more exactly than can any ma chinery, but machines built thus would cost far more than people could afford to pay for them, and that is all there is to the talk of the substitution of the "cer tainty and accuracy of machinery for the uncertainty and inaccuracy of hand Work." Scribner's Magazine, A ProTlilun In a Doctor's Will. A Philadelphia physician who died the other day left a will containing some queer provisions, including this one: "If my family never settled with Mr. Foster concerning the dog, I wish and want them to give to the boy Foster who was bit the sum of ( 10, but if they have set tled with the suid Foster, then they are not to pay any money to said boy. This is in fulfilment of a promise I made to them when I was in trouble concern iu if the dog." " Nearly Choked by a Snake. George Traloy, employed near Lou don ville, O., ruined a pitchforkful of hay and dropped it pretty quick. A black snake fell therefrom upon his neck af fectionately and' came near throttling him before the other fellows pulled biui ff. New York Recorder. What Be Helped At. The congressman was telling stories. "It was on me once," he said. "I had a friend who was dry as a humorist, bnt not always dry as a drinker, and when he was full he did foolish things. One of these was to buy a jackass for $.100, and when he sobered np and knew what he had done he sold him back to the original seller for $400. Naturally the loss of $100 made him sore, and he did not like to be twitted about it. One day I saw him on a mule waiting in front of a store, and I spoke to him. He was Just full enough to be serious. " 'Hello,' I said, and he responded with nod. " 'You Bre a Judge of that sort of ani mal yon are riding, aren't you? " 'I don't know that I am particularly so,' he said earnestly. ' 'I thought you were in the business.' ' 'No, I ain't." " 'Didn't you bny a Jack for $.700 not long agof "The crowd that bad gathered gig gled, and he looked more serious than ever. 'Yes I did, he answered solemnly. " 'What did you do with himr I asked, with a wink at the crowd to be ready. "He looked at me solemnly. '"I helped elect him to congress,' he said, without a smile, and the howl that went np made me seek shelter in the nearest place that could be found." Detroit Free Press. A Newedealer Pays for a LlbeL A libel case somewhat similar to that which Messrs. W. H. Smith successfully defended the other day has just come before one of the correctional courts in Paris. M. de Sesmaisons, a former min ister plenipotentiary of the French re publio at Hayti, at present residing in Paris, was annoyed at some comments upon his conduct while in America that appeared in the New York Tribune. The article spoke vaguely of his having ao- quired a certain notoriety and of his be ing irresponsible for his actions in the eye of the law. As the New York Tribune has no prop erty in France, M. de Sesmaisons judged it was useless to proceed against that paper, but he decided to indict M. Bron tano, the proprietor of the Anglo American library in the Avenue de l'Opera, where copies of the offending number were sold. The plaintiff asked for 60,000 francs damages. Without admitting so extravagant a claim, the court condemned the unfor tunate news agent, who quite possibly cannot read English, to pay 0,000 francs to the plaintiff, as well as a fine of 100 francs, and to insert the terms of the judgment in any 10 newspapers M. de Sesmaisons may select. London News An Aluminium Bicycle. In a window on Fulton street there is hung up for the inspection of the passer by a bicycle. It is suspended from a set of scales and the indicator registers the weight of the wheel as 181 pounds. This is by far the lightest bicycle which has been put on the market, and it marks another step in the evolution of the old velocipede toward the per fect bicycle. It is made of alumin ium, the metal which has so late ly become quite general in its use. The cost of the wheel is considerably more than that of the steel ones now in use. but after the novelty has worn off the price will probably be reduced to that of the high grade wheels of today. Brooklyn Eagle. nine Monday. A great many people have what they call blue Monday that is, they do not fell so well then as on other days of the week. The cause is found in overeating on Sunday. A good dinner is provided and eaten, and then, instead of taking the customary exercise, the man sits about the house and reads or sleeps. Of course he feels badly the next day. If the same amount of exercise and kind of diet were taken on Sunday as all other1 days, there wonld be no such thing as a blue Monday. Philadelphia Record. Mora Than Money. "Mister," he said to a restaurant man, on Randolph street, 'Tve lost me wallet through your front grating. Kin I go down after it?" 1 "Boy, don't bother me." j "But I want me wallet." !

A Greek peasant living on the island of .Xgina recently discovered a mag nificent statue buried in the ground, upon which had been a small plantation and which he bad cleared. The status was sold to a bric-a-brao dealer, who sent it to London, where it has just been bought by the British government for the sum of 6,500. In Physical Education Dr. Luther Gulick argues that by exercising certain muscles it is possible to develop certain sections of the brain. His argument has special reference to feeble minded per sons, whose mental condition, in his opin ion, might be improved by the right kind of muscular exercise.
