Abounlmioof the phips under Wat Bon'scommiiii'l there was an old Iiok'h's mato nnmed Vuller, who hail t in call thronphont tlo whole navy bh the chain jiion frofaiw man of tho Kovernnicnt' lino of packer Fuller never rained liis Toice when ho vnn. Ilo wonld Hiniply ctand hi ck and quietly regard tho iimii imnto object of bis wrath u bent b' lnyiiiR pin jvrbnpA or a Nlack rilK rope and then ho wonld open np in an or dinary convcrjutional tone. But tho nt terniiced ha pave vent to were ralphnr- . on. It alwayo took roller a good live tnlnntcn to work oiT what bo ronRidered the necessary number of remarks on ench ocensions, and it always seemed, when be was through, that he had quite exbansted tho whole vocabulary of pro fanity. But this was a mistake. The very next time anything went wrong with a bit of Fuller's gear he would start in on a new line that wonld con tain absolutely not a single repetition of any of his previous performances. It was always a sonrro of wonder to Ful ler's vhipmatcs, even tho old timers, where ho. pickid up the new ones, all of which were of startling originality and force. These ehi pniates related only one in stance in !'.ich he found himself at a loss for words. Ho was with a lunding party from bis ship, marching on t;.o outskirts of Chemulpo, Korea. Ho Flub bed his toe on a looso bowlder in tho road nod fell on his face in the dnst. He pickod himself up and looked at tho road. He opened his mouth to say some- ' thing, but be had no words. Ho was dumb with wrath. Two or three times he attempted to begin, but it was no go. Ho was stuck for once, so ho polled ont a pistol unci del iberatcly fired it into tho air five times. Ho had to express his feelings in some way. Whon Fuller was serving aboari Watson's f-liip, be was iu pood shapo, and bis frequent quiet outlursts kept the forward part of the ship keyed np with wonder as to what was coming next. Ono morning at big gun drill Captnin atsou himself was superin tending thoexerciso. One of tho wooden cartridges boeame jammed in tho brooch of tho 6 inch riflo to which ho was do voting moist of bis attention.' Ho wouldn't permit any of the gunner's mates nrotiml him to attempt to loosen iho cartridge, but essayed tho job him self. Ho tnggod ot tho jammed cartridge and broko bis finger nails over it, mid still it wouldn't come out. It was u pretty hot morning on deck, and tho perspiration began to roll off his face in streams, bnt ho persisted in trying to loosen tho stuck cartridge Ho looked as if bo wonld like to say a hoap were be a sweaving man, but ho wasn't a swearing man. Whou ho had been working for five minutes over tho jam med cartridge with no (success, he look ed pretty helploss and miserable. He gave ono final tug, but tho stuck car tridge remained in the gun's breech. The skipper gathered himself together, mopped his forehead and looked at the gun. "Confomid it oil," ho broko out, "where's Fuller? Soud mo Fuller, some body." Fuller was on hand directly. He wasn't a gunner's mate, and he had nothing to do with the gnus, bnt 'Wat son wanted Fuller to tackle the jammed cartridge all the same. "Fuller," said Watson, "try and get that dummy out of that gnu." Fuller looked at the stuck oartridge, and Watson retreated to the starboard side of the quarter deck. Fuller mads two or three claws at the wooden car tridge, bat it wouldn't come out. A gunner's mate conld have got it out in m jiffy, bnt Fuller wasn't In that line of the service. He tugged away, but it was no go. Watson stood regarding the horizon on the starboard side of the quarter deck. Fullor spat on his bands and made one more try. The dummy didn't move a tenth of an inoh. Then Fuller mopped his forehead with his neckerchief, clapped his cap on the back of his head and opened up. It was great work, this performance of Fuller's, and no mistake. He eclipsed all of his for mer efforts. He stood with his hands on his sides, looking at the gun breech and saying things at it that no Morgan or . Kidd or Teach or other heaven defying pirate oould ever have equaled. The men stood around, just looking at Ful lor in open mouthed amazement Thoy couldn't niuko out where he got them all. Thoy wore all in English, but the combinations wore weird. The perora tion was frightful, although delivered In the niildost tone imaginable. When Fuller finished, he mopped his forehead with his neckerchief aguin and Walked over to his commanding offloer, who was looking ovor the starboard toil, apparently thinking deeply. Fuller slated. "It's stack proper, sir," said Fuller. "I can't get it adrift" "Well," said Watson, "I didn't CJnk yon oould, Fuller, but I needed yon. Thanks. Yo did very well Go ( mil ".Sent York Bun. JAPANESE MUSIC. There's Art In It That Canant Be Ana- t.r l OerlilentaU. To one who i ver henrd it H is impos sible to give it ilellnite idea of Japanese nmsio, and to one who hears it for tho first time it mnst either repel or strange ly at tract, for its fantastic intervals and fractional tones demand a totally new tense of musical appreciation ai id call into Is'ing a new set of musical sensa tions. It is as if a hitherto closed door between sense and spirit had been sud denly thrown oun. One feel that if reincarnation be true, one might through this door alone remember and recon struct those vanished existences. Only in the tones of their own unguisn, a bird which has but three notes, have I heard anything no occult. Japanese music- is like Japanese art, which, with its unpereeived spirit, sense mid symbolism, its strango method of hruh luiii'liing, iniyht seem nwrely grotesque at first, bnt which gradually reveals to tho initiated eye mysterir i within mysteries of artistic form and perception, nntil presently ono finds oneself encompassed by a new art world, where trclmio is subordinated to feeling and whoso finest ell. 'tsnre obtained through the art of omission. As, for instance, in the greatest paint ings of Fujiyama, the sacred mountain itself is discovered to bo tho bare, white, unpaiuted silk, as if color and lily could be but the boundaries and ontor confines of pure isolated idea. Ho in Japanese music, its methods are not ours, its climaxes como iu crushes of si lence, in sustained and soundless pause, the notes subordinated to a silent some thing, an inner sense, which, while re straining or even repressing sound, is tho very ecstasy of mnsicnl sensation. In vain we attempted to analyze this subtle effect, to reduce it to tho terms of our musical consciousness. It defied and elndeii us as spirit must always defy and elude sense, and we perforce con tented ourselves with following the strange, rounded, isolnted notes, sus taining ourselves breathlessly on its wonderful pauses and yielding to the irregular cadeuced charm ot the singer, whoso face, at first so unremarkable, seemed to grow of a shining effulgence as she thus interpreted to ns an un known world. Washington Star. IN LEAGUE WITH MAGIC. Some Heathens Who 1)1,1 Good MlMlonary Work at a romp. Lobeugula, the Into king of tho Mata lielo of South Africa, was afraid of Rev. E. Carnegie, an English missionary at Hopo Fountain, several miles from Bu lnwayo. Tho Alatabclo warriors, on the other hand, looked with suspicion on tho missionary and all his works, but they know better than to molest tho friend of their king. Time after time in passing the mis sion house they noticed a force pump nt work, supplying water for the family and for irrigating the garden. Not un derstanding what it was for, thoir uu tutored minds concluded it was soma sort of magio. It was "intagati, " or bewitched, and they watched to see how it was mauaged that they might turn the whito man's magio against himself. Ono moonlight night a party of picked warriors repaired to tho hauk of the stream where tho pump was. On try ing it they wero jubilant to find that two men at either handle could do tho trick. Turn and turn about they kept the pump going for two hours, deter mined thut tho missionary should have nil the magic ho wanted and a balance iu band. Then, exhausted, they went home ward, ignorant of tho fact that they had filled the missionary's tank to over flowing. His good wifo hoped that a similar supply of "magio" might be furnished every week. New York Mail and Express. i Artificial Cream. A cooking teacher tolls of a manufac tured cream that is worth knowing about in emergencies, when the real article is not to be had. It is tnado from tho whites of two oggs, beaten stiff, with a tablospoouful of sugar and a tea spoonful of cornstarch. Half a cup of cold milk is added by degrees and all beaten together very stiff. A enp 'of milk is heated over tho fire, with a small butter ball molted in it This is allowed to come just to the boiling point, when it is removed to a cooler part of the - stove and the beaten egg mixture added. Whon it bus all thick ened very slightly to about the consist ency of thick cream, it is taken off and strained and cooled. This may be used as cream for serving with fresh or pre served fruits, but it is needless to add it will not whip. New York Post Literature oat Ferryboat.
