ODD IUTTLBUFSOX'OS ONE NOVEL INCIDENT OF THE NAVAL WAR OF 1812. How .' Voeal rnnlrnt Btiff Batch of Yankee Prisoner and a British t'renr Ended Jlnlar of Itoll Ust Bho ronlahment. "I have been In a number of full Oedged naval notions myself and in many more BcrlniuinKos," nlil ven erable man-of-war' man tlie oilier day, "so I am entitled to know some thing about the subject, but I am five to confess that the strangest Unlit on the high eea I ever heard about was j one in which my father took part when be wa a prisoner In the Wnr of 1S12. My father when a young man enlisted on the American privateer 1'rln.e tie Neufchatel, which, na you may know, wa one of the most famous prlvntoers in our second war BKiilnst Grout ltrit atn and which was finally run down ' and captured by tbreo of the biggest of j the British war frigates. "The crew of the Prince do, Neuf- ! chatel was divided Into three batches, ! my father being In the one that was l placed aboard the Lenndor, Sir George's flagship. After being relieved of nil their baggage the prisoners were stow- ed away In the stuffy cable tier. As ' the squadron was several weeks from j It destination and the prisoners wero allowed to come up on deck only for few hours each day, the problem of killing time was a serious one. How some of It was 'killed' my father's own words, as set down in his diury as follows, will tell: j " 'Many of the flint hours each night I were spent in story telling, Hinging or j "rigging" one another, all joining in to j help pass the burdensome hours. The i lnging was made up of such souks us I seamen generally learn by heart, but I In our case most of the songs were commemorative of our recent naval . victories over the English. " 'One night It was understood that our naval songs were not relished by the officers in the British frigate. This only brought about others with n loud er chorus and an extra hurrah for Yan kee thunder. In order to stop the an noyance the English picked out half a dozen of their best singers on board tho Leandor, who wero bucked by sev eral dozen shipmates to Join In the choruses. Thoy stationed themselves round the open hatchway, over our bead and began singing patriotic Eng lish naval songs. "'We allowed them to finish their songs, when we struck up with one in opposition extolling tho glories of tho Tankce navy, each one of us striving to outdo bis shipmate, especially in the chorus. Knowing that tho character of our country was nt stake and that it depended much upon our management and zeal whether It should be upheld In the face of our enemies, wo strove accordingly 10 ao our Dust as its repre sentatives. The contest wns kept up for some time, evidently to our advan tage not only in tho quality of the sing ing, for in this our opponents could not hold their own for a moment, but at to the number and variety of tho ongs, they having run out ofthclr vic tories over the Tankees before our par ty was fairly warmed up to the fight. "That they might not flag in tho contest they took up the songs, "The Firt of June," "Bnttlo of the Nile," besides many others in which we felt not the least national interest, nnd wc did not fall giving them the hint In plain English that they were dodging the issue as first agreed upon. This they cared far less for than they did for the borne thrust victory over them from the Tankees to each one of theirs over the French and Spanish. " 'At last our fire became so warm that they were compelled to bach out of the contest, chopfallen. And they bad the satisfaction of having their defeat announced to all on board by three tlmos three cheers, accompanied by handclapplng and such other noises as each one of us could Invent. Word . bow came from tho deck that such , noise could not be tolerated and that we must be quiet. This only aroused the prisoners to greater exertions, mak ing what was singing before yelling now, a discordant as sixty loud ..throats could make them, euch tuned . mpon a key peculiarly his own. "'In a few minutes the officer of the , deck came down and with must blus tering and many threats declared that If order was not maintained resort would be had to unpleasant means. If the most savage tribe of Indians bud at once brokon loose in a terrific war whoop it could not have been louder than the yells of defiance that came from the prisoner on the conclusion of this officer's speech. Ho then tried to reason on the absurdity of prisoners persisting in the unequal contest, say ing that "the order of the Bhlp must and shall be maintained, if by no . other mean, I will order the marines to fire into the hold, and when too late you will learn your folly 1" " 'Had this advice been tendered pre viously to the threatenlngs it might have had the desired effect. But it nvas now too late. Advice and threat were alike thrown back with the ut most scorn and contempt. One big, brawny Yankee who was standing near the opening on the termination of the officer's hint threat yellod out: ""Crack away, my Johnny. Xou can make killing no murder, but you can't so easily mend the shot boles in your cables!" " 'It will be remembered that we were in the cable tier, the great colls 4f rope being stowed in the bottom of the compartment, leaving only a little room for the prisoner. If tho marines fired many of the cables would be ru ined, and the officers would be obliged to explain matters to the admiralty. H ' "If be mend his manners he'll tuve task enough without troubling himself nbo'tf cables," said another prisoner. Walt until yon fall In with tho Constitution, arid you will learn some thing about firing." Hurrah for Old Ironsides!" i Three cheers for the gallant Ter ry!" " 'Many such expressions came from the prisoners, so the nllleer wns com pelled to retire In dlscomflture, his re treat being greeted by nine hearty cheers. I '"I expected unpleasant consequence . to follow Immediately nfter Ills leaving . the hatchway, as indeed Old all the . prisoners whose mail excitement left them sense enough for a sober thought. But we were not disturbed for the re- . nininOer of that night. The sluclng and shouting were kept up until day- ; break, not allowing the wnrdroom olll- ' corn n moment's rest, ns thoy were sit- j tinted on the dock Immediately above ns. We were told on the next day that we would be provided for If we per- j sisted In disturbing the ship's eompa ny in their rest. "'Nothing daunted by this threat,' the prisoners hountt their singing on , the following night as before. Tho songs and choruses had gone on for two hours or more without any notice being taken of our proceedings when all nt once a dozen shots of tin largest j size In the frigate (forty-four pounders) were lot loose on the deck ubove us ami left free to roll with the motion of the ship the livelong night. Scantling was so Ilxed on the dock ns to routine the area of their rolling to tho spneo directly over our heads. '"As the shot passed from one sldo to the other nt each roll of the frigate they caused a low, harsh, tlitimlci like rumbling, as deafening, ns dreadful ns and more horrible than the booming of 10,110 Chinese gongs Intermingled with as ninny bell clappers. They were brought suddenly to n standstill when coming to the scantling and with n Jar and noise but little loss than tho discharge of small artillery. "'In this there was no variation, ex cept us they came In contuct with euch other, when the sharp snap of the balls meeting was enough to split the brains of us who wore underneath with the advantage of the planks Immediately above our heads to convey nnd magni fy the rumbling noise us a sounding board a hundredfold. " '.Many of us were determined to brave it out nnd let those on deck know that thoy still had the same par ty to ileal with. Some Btrovo hard to keep up the singing, but the power of cold shot was greater. Some Jeered, laughed and Joked, but tho rolling shot were Impervious to nil such In ducements to quit their noise. Some swore, raved nnd cursed, lint tho shot went booming on stupidly, dead to every alluring blandishment or impre cation. Some hallooed, yelled nnd whooped. On came tho shot, doggedly indifferent to it all. Some blustered, threatened and stormed. Still rolled on the nhot ns stoically unconcerned a If it wero their legitimate employment. Some sighed, groaned nnd roared. Itumble-ile-bump wont on the shot, ut terly regardless of tho throbbing ear drums mid twitching nerves of the sufferers below. " 'The singers, the Jokers, tho sneer crs, the whoopers, the stormers nnd the roarers ono by one dropped off till nil In the cable tier wero silenced. Fi nally not one sound was to bo heard save that caused by those dull, heavy messengers of mortal anguish which kept on rolling their unceasing rounds, thereby creating torments fit only for the damned, I "have read somewhero that the greatest physical punishment yet put upon the human frunie Is that of being placed in a confined position where water was slowly but constant ly dripping, drop upon drop, upon the bare head of the victim. But I am sure tho originator of this assertion could never have been In the situation we wero In that night, with those shot rolling on tho deck so close to our heads that wc could scarcely sit in nn upright position. " 'Ever nfter this if we continued our songs Inter than 10 o'clock the shot were set rolling nnd censed not until the songs were bushed. The shot were nn accompaniment neither agreeable, to the performers nor melting to the bearers nnd which we were glud to dis pense with even at the expense of los ing the reputation we hud so fearless ly ciirned by tho display of our vocal tulent under tho very thunder of Eng land's heuvlest armament, whose deaf ening roar wus only equaled by its .never censing roll, which slackened not till her every opponent lay low In si lence.'

The wolf hates the fox. According to the Iroquois Indians, this Is why: One cold, wintry day a fox who was prowling about looking to see where he might steal bis dinner saw a wagon coming. It wns loaded with fish and , wns driven by some fishermen who were taking home their day' catch. "Ah, ha!" suit! tho cunning fox. "Here . comes my dinner." And he fell down j nnd pretended to he dead. The fisher- men, seeing him, picked 111 m up nnd ' threw him into the wugoo among the flail. Then the fox slyly threw out some ilsh and when tho llshormon were not , looking Jumped olT himself ami made oft with the Ilsh ho had thrown out I'retty soon afterward he met a wolf, who said, "I niu hungry, and I guess I will eat you for my dinner." But ho fox said, "Would you rather not hnve HhIi for dinner?" The wolf replied that on tho whole he thought he would pre fer fish. Thou the cunning fox told him of the trick by which he had Just got his own dinner nnd advised him to try it. The wolf was pleased with the idea, so he ran through the woolls and headed off the team which the fisher men were driving, falling down In the roail before it and pretending to be dead. But the fishermen, who had by i this time discovered the trick tho fox had played upon them, Instead of tak- j lug him Into tho wagon, beat him with clubs so that he barely escaped with I his life. And on n hillside near by sat the fox, who laughed and laughed. LIGHT WAVES. Different Klnila Brooicht Into Con Jnnetloit Produce Dnrkneaa, Every light wave, ns a wave of the sea, consists of two portions, In one of which the water Is lifted above the general average level of the surround ing ocean nf.d In the other Is depressed below it. These two portions form tho "crest" and the "trough" of tho wave respectively. If two or more sets of waves nre caused to traverse the same surface, ns by dropping stones into still water, for Instance, a complicated network of ripples is produced. At certain points the crest of one wave will coincide with the crest of another, nnd the two will combine to form one crest of dou ble the height, tho trough also being twlco the depth. At other points the crest of one wave will fall on the trough of another, nnd as the same particles of wnter aro called upon by equal forces to move In opposite directions nt the same time they will remain stationary, and the surface will not bo disturbed at those points. Similarly, as light consists of waves In the ether, It hns been shown by Tresnel thnt if ono ray bo caused to fall half a wave length behind another the troughs of one set of waves will combine with the crests of the other set to neutralize one another, so produc ing still ether, or dark patches, at those particular points In the midst of tho surrounding light. A Helpful Spirit. There hud at first been six name on the list of candidates to be sent by popular vote from the little seaport town to the groat fair, but gradually the list had dwindled, for two of the candidates went so fnr ahead of all the otheas that It became a farce to re tain the other numes. It was when affairs had been at this point for three weeks, and within twenty-four hours of the time set for counting the last votes, thut Miss Mat tlo I law ley met one of the candidates on tho street. "I don't know what to do," suid Miss Mattie with a distressed look In her eyes. "I want you to go, and I want her to go, so at last I bethought mo how I could help you both. So I went Into Jones' and bought ten dozen cakes of soup and put half the coupons In for you and half for her." Youth's Companion. Spreading- Gloom.

The Method lir Which Ther Are Cul tivated lu Japan. j Mushrooms grown ou trees form ( quito nn Important article of export from Japan to China. Hhlkoku Island, , where much camphor Is produced, Is 1 the chief home of this Industry. The method employed Is ns follows: Oak I trees about thirty years old are felled ' In tho autumn, aud incisions are mado i with axes at intervals of three or four inches. The trees are then cut Into logs four or five feet long and nre left In dark, secluded parts of the forest. After three yours mushrooms make their appearance In the incised por- j turns, ami when the crop shows signs of growing thin fresh logs nro provld- ed. Those mushrooms will grow at : every season of the year, but In win- I ter nnd spring urttllclnl stimulus Is needed, which Is supplied by sleeping I the logs in water and striking them with mallets or axes to prepare the beds and facilitate the growth. Tho , autumn crop is the largest. The mush rooms after being collected are dried by the sun or by nrtlllcial heat.

The late Senator Vest of Missouri used to tell a story of good luck and hard luck without a counterpart, ac cording to the Buffalo Commercial. One day, while he wa a member of the Confederate congress, he lost a month's pay somewhere on the streets of Itlehmond. Just a tho woman in Scripture who lost n piece of silver called together her friend and neigh' bors and sought diligently until she found It, he called hi friends and went with theui on what seemed a hopeless search through the enow cov ered, dimly lighted street of Illch niond. The chances were a thousand to one against success. "We hadn't been out fifteen minutes when a young lieutenant In our party stooped down and picked up my lost roll. I wa In high glen nnd wanted to treat We wore piloted to a cafe which, pending some repairs, had a ladder of about a dozen rungs Instead of stairs. We all climbed up, considering It a great lark, all the while talking about what a lucky fellow the young lieutenant was aud predicting great things for him. A we climbed down again the young lieutenant fell from the ladder and broke his ueok." GUILDS OF THIEVES. Oraanlaed Bodies In China Thnt Thrive on Fees. China I the country of guilds, and tho guild of thieves In any district might almost be described as a recog nized body.

All gatekeepers and night watchmen pay a small monthly fee to this guild lu order that no thieving may take place on tho premise over which they have control. Then if anything docs go wrong It will be due to a free lance who would bo promptly murdered If captured by tho guild thieves them selves.

KAFFIRS AND SNUFF. A Grave Breach of Manners to Take Pinch Standing I' p. In South Africa among the Kaffir snuff taking Is universal, and It Is a grave breach of manner to ask your host for a plucb when you are standing- up. The rcasou for this Is found In the treacherous practices of former times. When one man wished to kill another a fuvorlte device wa to ask blm for a pinch of snuff, nnd then, while the unsuspecting victim wu fumbling for bis snuffbox, the murderer bad a splen did opportunity. A this trick for tak ing a inun nt a disadvantage became familiar It naturally grew to be a point of good manners to make your request when squuttlng on the ground, when cleurly you were intending no evil. The Kaffir snuff is mado from crude tobacco grown at every kraal, which Is powdered up and mixed with the ash of the aloe, carefully ground on a stone aud dumped. It Is always etiquette to ask for suuff, and the donor grant your request grudgingly, lest be should be suspected of pressing upon you be witching medicine with it Saaplelooa. Dr. Sloan of Ayr many years ago said that a friend of hi had goue not long before to see the parish minister of Crulglo, near Kilmarnock, and, finding blm for the moment engaged, had turn. ed Into the churchyard, where be suuutered pust the sexton, who was at work digging a grave. As the clergy man wus detained some time, the vis itor wulked to uud fro along the path uud ut lengtn noticed that tbe sexton's eyes wero pretty constantly fixed upon blm.
