THE TXPORTER'S STORY.

Writ 1'P f MarnVr.
Whin I Hi iilif (I to Jrnrtih H. MoUnl
high for it jmsititm in reporter on Tim
Ulolic-Dennunit, in lHHii. f had been
posted ntimit his detestation of dmles
ami wore mi old suit t'li'iin. but almost
threadbare. I had letter if roroni
iiii'iiiliitinti from Colonel Burke of The
Tiines-Deimrriir und from I'olnnel Dn
renins of tlin Dallas News, which I held
in my luitiii, ready for liin ttispootinn.
I miiilo my speech, rather disconcerted
hv the cnnl, ciilculntinu liiiitini't ill
which In' Inspected 1110 while doing on,
iiml thru handed liim my "credentials."
Ho planccd nt the siminUires, without
rrmlitii! tlio ciinientsof oithiTof tlio lot
tor, picked tip ti flipof instructions and
told mo to report tlio murder of .loo
Knlicilciiux. ii Frenchman who hail
been murdered ii frw minutes before in
tho Frotii'h quarter, mill then carefully
placed my beloved "papers" ill hi
pocket, without ii wool of explanation.
Tlm o l.uiiii later I hiitiiloil him a
very eaivftiliy written report nf tho
mnnliT, niviti all of the details,
wlir 'i '.vinilil hiivo filled two column,
i Ii 1 1 by my own "w are heads" in
nix unions, givinti all of tho principal
farts iu short S'lilonecH. Next morning
I found that my ti pin t hud been
"Killed" at tlio "fiuiftiiig clause," for
tho report appravcd in an artirlo uhout
two inches limn until r u small lioail,
"Foully Murdered," with all tho rest
of my ":. re hi ads" printrd, word for
word, exactly as I had written them, us
the limlv of the item. Not n word of the
report appeared.
It was ti beautiful Christinas mom
inc, hut I will never forget my feelings
as I read that little item. I felt utterly
crushed, and if I had hud my letter
Mr. MeCuilaL'h would never have seen
me niniii. I wandered around the hotel
corridors until time to report, when I
presented myself before "Little Muck"
and asked for the return of the letters.
To my unspeakable, surprise, and intense
dcliuht he uiivo tun an immediate as
signmcut fi r special work, handed mo a
huge bundle wrapped iu wrapping pu
per, and while holding this package,
tho couteuts of which wore unknown to
mo, ho proceeded to give me ins true
tions and detail all of my failings in
blnut but very lucid sentencon, wind
ing up like tho crack of a whip with,

The package contained a complete.

wear, collar, tie and cue of the beat

of which could not have been much le

I never saw my letter again, but
when I loft, two year later, lie wrote
me tho best recommendation I ever re

need a new man. And on the following
Monday morning Pat hid his smile in

Now, the job upon which the crew to
which Pat bud attached himself wa
working wa in comparatively shullow
water, aud Fat was provided with
pick aud told to use it ou a ledge below

Down he weut with hi pick, aud for
about 15 minutes nothing wa beard
. from him. Thru came u strong, deter
mined, deliberate pnll ou the signal

rided wish to ci.uie to the top. The as
sistant palled him to the raft and re.
moved his helmet.

A Familiar Occurrence.
"There are iu tho histories of all na
tions," said the earnest man, "crises
when some few men must step forward
and save their country from utter ruin. "
"Yes," replied Hcnator Sorghum,
"that's very true. It happens once every
sour years with us, tho next occasion of
that kind being scheduled for 1900."

Tho Silkworm.
Wo owe tho introduction of tho silk
worm into Europe to sticks.
.Silk was proiliicrd ill the cast, prun-
tieallvsolelv in China. When Christian
liii-sionuries pem tratcil into that strange
land, they 1 aid much iibont silkworm
breeding mi l tlin manufacture ot silk,
but alt hough Ihey longed to mako use
of such profitable knowledge ill their
own countries they vrrt not ubln to do
so, for the Chinese guarded their val
ued silk industry with the most vigi
lant jealousy.
To attempt thn removal of tlio cater
pillars or ggs ncross tlio nation s bor
der meant death by horrible torture.
Daring adventurers there were, but they
met terrible fates. The prize whs a
great one, however, and men persevered.
The popes nt Unmn otrereil largo re
ward to uny ouo who could bring them
tho much coveted tiny eggs. Two pil
grim at ):st succeeded iu doing so.
They mudo n very small cavity in their
long staves, concealing then in a lew
eggs. These ragged unil illrty waytarers
uwnkened but little curiosity, being re
sigucdlv docile to all formalities of
searching.

with their priceless treasures, ut the
feet of tho pontiff. From those few egg

Hasty judgment of the actions of otb
or is dangerous and often unjust. We
measoro too much by somo sutierflcial
appeurunoe und condemn hastily, when,
if we but know aud understood tho mo'
tives and teusons, we would warmly
approve. We sometimes say of some
one, "That pain, sorrow or loss has not
deeply affected him." But we do not
know. It is like the douth of a few of
the soldier iu front of a regiment. The
broken ranks close up again into the
solid phalanx, and the loss is uot oppar
ent. There may bo no disorganization,
no surreuder, no craving for pity, no
display of despair. It is like the calm,
daziling pluy of the waves warmed by
tho morning's sun after a night of
storm aud disaster. Thero is no sign of
the wreck. The tido has carried the do
bris away fur out ou tho ocean ; the
treacherous water ha swallowed all
sign and tokens of tho night's awful
work. We see only the fairness of the
morning, uot the suffering of tho night.
Let us bo ehuritublu iu our judgment
and condemn not when wa do not know.

Bleep.
"A wan receives a certain term of
life," Nikola Tenia said recently, "so
many hours to pass ou this earth I
meau hours when ho is alive, awuke. I
do not count tho hours wheu ho is sleep
ing. I do not believe they are, strictly
speaking, included in his term of life.
Wheu a man really lives, he is dying
hour by hour, but when he sleeps he is
accumulating vital forces which will
mako him go ou living. In other words,
in nieiisuriug out our dole of hour to
lach 0110 of us, the great timekeeper
stops his couut whilo wo are sleeping'.
Therefore tho lougcr a man sleeps the
longer he will remain on earth. "
A Method of Measurement.
"There is such a thing as becoming
too much devoted to tho bicycle," said
tho young woman thoughtfully. "I was
riding with a friend of mine who dem
onstrated tbut fact."
"Did sho talk continually about the
wheel?"
"No. She didn't talk about anything
until I asked her if she knew what the
hour was. Hlio looked down at her cy
clometer and said wo'd better hurry
home, as it was two miles and u quarter
past diuuer time." Washington Star.
Greek Fir.
Greek fire, which hud several other
liamec wild fire, liquid fire, wet fire
ud fire ruin descriptive ot its destruo
liveness, is said to have been the most
lestruotive engine of war previous to
gunpowder. Discovered by Culliuicus,
a Syriuu, it was first used iu the siege
of UouKtuutiuoplo, 678-678, and at Meo
