DAVID AND GOLIATH.
Night Attack of a Torpedo Boat on
a Big War3hip
The opportunity comes—a dark night
and tempestuous. The clouds have cov
ered the stare like a pall, and there is a
howling wind which drowns all other
sounds. The pygmy vessel makes ready
and puts to sea. It rushes along as swift
as the wind and as silent as a calm. Big
waves sometimes sweep over it from end
to end as it plunges through the dark
ness, but they arc not heeded. Small as
it is, it is stanchly built and can stand
the strain of storm as well .is its adver
sary. All men save one are snugly shut
inside, tending the flying cugiue and
preparing the" missile of destruction, j
This is a strange bolt, shaped like a
cigar, over ten feet in length; and the
crew place it in the bow tube. The man
on deck stands behind a little iron tower
which shields him from the shock of the
waves, and there he steers the boat.
In the darkness they seek their ad
versary determinedly, and with deadly
purpose, since they are the protectors of
their native land. The boat searches for
a time in vain, for the big ship has cov
ered all lights and is lying like a sleep-'
iug monster upon the waves, awaiting
morning to renew the havoc. Perhaps
if the ship remained thus, the little boat
would never find her; but "Uoliath''be
comes uneasy; he fears "David" will
make an attack, so he has determined
to watch. A dazzling cone of white
light suddenly starts from a point in the
darkness, and broadens upon the water.
Slowly it sweeps about over the sea in
circling *rcs. All at once the little boat
is bathed in a brilliant, blinding glare.
The monster's eye finds it! But in find
ing the enemy the battle ship lias dis
closed itself, and the dauntless little ad
versary steams straight forward at utmost
speed. Streaks of fiamc arc now shoot
ing from under the white light, while
the rattling reports of rifles aud machine
guns rise sharply above the wind's roar.
Shot and small shell arc falling about
like hail upon the water, but the mon
ster cannot keen the rnime of the on
rushing boat, and the missiles fly wide of
the mark.
Suddenly the great ship looms up,—
tall, long, showy, overpowering. It is
not far off, almost near enough to be at
tacked. Yet alittle closer and the in
trepid pigmy, still unharmed, slows and
steadics, with that ominous black tube
pointing toward the monster's blazing
side. Shots are falling upon the boat,
nnd the man who was steering has taken
refuge in his iron tower; but inside
there is a wheel, and he can steer as well
as before, for around him on a level
with his eyes are little slits through
which he can sec. Now seconds are
precious, if the fragile little craft is to
escape destruction. The moment has
come! A lever is pulled, and from that
black tube comes a short hoarse roar. At
once the little boat begins to turn, ready
to escape with the speed of the wind.
But before the boat can turn, a dull
heavy shock has jarred the sea. A gi
gantic column of whitcwatcr rushes up
ward toward the black clouds. In it the
tall masts of the monster ship seem to
sway about and clash together. The
banging of the guns is sharply succeeded
by cries of human terror.
The mass of water falls back Into the
sea with a roaring crash and scatters
over the waves in great wisps of glisten
ing foam. The wind, sweeping on again
forms new waves over the disturbed wa
ter. The monster ship has disappeared
—the Goliath of the Deep is conquered j
by his pygmy antagonist.—[St. Nicholas, j
A Feathered Industry.
Spconk is the greatest duck-raising
center on Long Island, if not in this i
couutry. Byron Tuthill, of that pretty
village, speaking of this feathered indus- |
try, said:
"For the season just ended, I have no 1
floubt that the shipment of ducks front j
Spconk has reached forty thousand. All ,
the fowl raised there arc for the market, j
The Pekin variety of ducks seems to be ;
the favorite with raisers. Some Muscovy
arc raised, but they do not grow so rap
idly nor become so large as the Pekin,
though they are, it is said, a more hardy
brceu. Hardihood is a very important
matter, as a great many ducks die when
young from cholera, or are chilled by the
cold weather. The price generally re
turned from New York is from 75 cents
to $1 for each duck. On this basis
Spconk has received nearly SIO,OOO this
year for this business alone. The raisers
begin to set their eggs in incubt
tors or under hens about the middle of
January, and the first ducks arc ready
for the New York market about the last
of April. They then weigh from three
to live pounds. They arc picked before
shipment, and the feathers are scalded
and sold at the close of the season. It
is expected that the price of tho feathers
will pay for tho cost of picking. Since
the charge of picking is from four to five
cents, it is easy to calculate what it costs
to strip 40,000 ducks of their clothes.
Incubators are used by all large raiseis,
and, properly handled, they produce ex
cellent results. The picking of the
fowl is quite an industry, and many of
the girls engaged in it have made from
SIOO to S2OO in this way. Miss Anuie j
Liscomb and Miss Hettic Homan scciu
to have made the best record Each has
picked about J,OOO ducks, the former
having prepared forty-seven for market
in one day."—[New York Star.

The Pipefish.
If you want a perfect model of domes
tic virtue, for example, where can you
find it in higher perfection than in that
exemplary and devoted father, the com
mon great pipefish of the North Atlantic
and tho British sea? This high-priuci
plcd lophobranch is so careful of his cal
low ana helpless young that he carries
about the unhatched eggs with him
under his own tail, in what scientific ich
thyologists pleasantly describe as a sub
caudal pouch or cutaneous receptacle.
There they hatch out iu perfect security.
free from the dangers that beset the
spawn fund fry of so many other less
tender-hearted kinds, and as soon asthe
little pipefish are big enough to look
after themselves the sac divides sponta
neously down the middle and allows
them to escape to shift for themselves in
the broad Atlantic. Even so, however,
the juniors take care always to keep tol
erably near that friendly shelter, and
creep back into it again on any threat
of danger, exactly as baby kangaroos do
into their mother's marsupim. The
father fish, in fact, has gone to the trou
ble and expense of developing out of his
own tissue a membranous bag 011 pur
pose to hold the eggs and young during
the first stages of their embryonic evolu
tion. This bag is formed by two folds
of the skin, one of which grows out from
each side of the body, the free margins
being firmly glued together in the mid
dle by a natural exudation while the
eggs are undergoing incubation, but
opening once more in the middle to let
the little fish out as soon as the process
of hatching is fairly finished.—[Cornhill.
TO EXPLORE DEATH VALLEY.
Where the Temperature is 150 in
Summer and 110 in Winter.
"An expedition is being organized in
Washington," said President Willetts of
the Board of Government Exhibits,
"which, if it is as successful as wo anti
cipate, will contribute in results some
unique features of the Government exhib
its that will excite general attention.
Nothing has been said about it hereto
fore, but I am now ready to announce its
object, which is to make an accurate
biographical survey of the famous Death
Valley in southern California. This val
ley is in a great measure a terra incog
nita. It is true that the Wheeler survey
gives us something of its topographical
features, and it is true also that Captain
Charles E. Bcrdiue, curator of eggs in
the National Musucm, made a reconnais
sance in the valley in 18G7, but the
amount of accurate knowledge of the
country is very small indeed. Scores of
persons have penetrated it, and their
dried bodies are there now,showing how
fearful must be the heat. It is 150 de
grees in summer and 110 in winter.
Everything that dies Is shrivelled up.
Nothing rots, so dry is the atmosphere.
"Now, we propose to send eight or ten
of the most distinguished scientists that
can be found in the country on an ex
ploration tour of the valley. One man,
Vernon Bailey, is already working his
way into the valley from Nevada, and in
a few days Prof. Theodore 8. Balmer
will move up from the south and join
him. Other members of the expedition
will be projected into the valley in a
short time, when actual scientific work
will be fully commenced. The expedi
tion, which will occupy three months,
will be one of great peril, as the heat is
greater than that of any other section of
this country and more intense than that
of the famous desert Sahara. Mirages
arc frequent, and water can only be had
by digging for it. The expedition will
start in with eight barrels of water. The
pack animals will be mules and burros,
and there is a question whether even they
will be able to survive the fearful heat
and the labor incident to the trip.
"There arc rumois of immense depos
its of gold and silver in the mountains.
They may be fairy tales, but there is a
tradition that once upon a time a gold
hunter ran across a red-painted bucket
in the valley, in which was a rich chunk
of gold, and beside it a pickaxe and the
shrivelled remains of a man. The hun
ter returned to California with the gold
and was seized upon by miners and tor
tured for the purpose of getting him to
tell all that lie knew. He related the
story of finding a mountain of gold nnd
silver, but efforts to discover their exact
locality have always resulted in failure.
Now, we expect to show 011 a map at the
Exposition just what there is therein an
imate and inanimate nature. Wc have
a right to expect to find species not
known to natural history."—[Chicago

Transportation of Cattle.
Mrs. Diehard P. White, of Philadel
phia, president of the woman's branch of
the Pennsylvania Society for the Preven
tion of Cruelty to Animals, has been la
boring for years to effect refdrm in the
matter of the transportation of cattle,
and at a recent meeting of the American
Humane Association, held iu Nashville,
Tenn., she contributes a paper on the
subject of treatment of cattle while in
transit. |
She objects to the present method of ,
crowding from fifteen to twenty head of
cattle into ono car and keeping them
thus confined without food or water
throughout the two or three days' trip
from the West to the East. Aside from
the cruelty Mrs. WhitQ contends that the
cattle are not in a fit condition for con
sumption after being treated thus. Her
plan is to load them into compartment.
or stall cars, nnd provide them at least
with water during the journey. Within
the past year Mrs. White raised upward
of SOOO and employed an agent to look
into the methods employed by the Pcnn-1
sylvania Railroad Company in the ship
ment of cattle. The result was a confer
ence with District Attorney Graham, and
criminal prosecution in nine cases of al- (
leged cruelty to animals. These cases
arc now pending. It is likely, however, |
that a compromise will he agreed upon
whereby the Humane Association will i
withdraw prosecution, provided the rail- I
road company promises to adopt its plan
of transporting cattle. This is all the as
sociation seeks. At present 8,000 of the
compartment cars are in use west of !
Chicago, but none cast of that city.— '

Dutch Windmills.
You scarcely can stAnd anywhere in
; Holland without seeing from one to
twenty windmills. Mauy of them arc
I built in the form of a two-story tower,
1 the second story being smaller than the
j first, with a balcony at its base from
which it tapers upward until the cap-like
top is reached. High up, near the roof,
the great axis juts from the wall ; aud to
this are fastened two prodigious arms,
formed somewhat like ladders, bearing
great sheets of canvas, whose business is
to catch the mischief-maker and set him
at work. These rrills stand like huge
giants guarding tho country. Their •
bodies are generally of a dark red; and '
their heads, or roofs, are made to turn I
this way and that, according to the di~ I
rection of the wind. Their round ey>
window is always staring. Altogether,
they seem to be keeping a vigilant watch
in every direction. Sometimes they
stand clustered together; sometimes
alone, like silent sentinels ; sometimes in
long rows like ranks of soldiers. You seo
them rising from the midst of factory
buildings, by the cottages, on the pol
ders (the nolders are lakes pumped dry
and turned into farms); on the wharves;
by the rivers; along the canals; on the
dykes; in the cities—everywhere! Hol
land wouldn't be Holland without its
windmills, any more than it could be
Holland without its Dykes and its Dutch
men.—[St. Nicholas.

Philosophical Tramps and Mendi
cants of Morocco.
Contrast the shivering, badgered exist
ence of the English beggar with the
pleasant life of a Moorish member of the
craft. For the ninth part of a penny,
which the fractional copper coinage of
his country supplies him in the shape of
blanquios, one hundred and fifty to the
franc, the beggar of Morocco can keep
his rag of soul and body very comfortably
together for the day.
The sunshine alone represents meat and
drink and clothes and coppers to that
fortunate individual. No inexorable
"peeler" bids him move on, for there is
no statute in his laud to proclaim beg
ging a misdemeanor. There is so much
comfort in the sunshine that he docs not
feel impelled to create an artificial
warmth within him at the bar of the near
est house of call when Charity has paused
to drop a penny in his greasy hat.
Nor, for that matter, has he any greasy
cliapcau in hand for the reception of
penn'orths of compassion from passers-by;
aud let this be recorded to his credit, that
to whatever depth of poverty he may by
reduced, he never sinks to the indignity
of cast-off clothing.
Much more Saxon than Moor, in ap- .
pearancc at any rate, is the red-haired |
blind beggar lad who is generally to be '
seen hurrying and blundering at a reck
less speed through tlie crowded streets,
going nowhere in particular at a head
long pace, which, if he enjoyed the
use of his eyes, lie would hardly dare
attempt. It has been suggested, not ,
without some show of probability, that I
he derives his carroty locks and Saxon |
face from some forefather of his ol \
English birth, who in the good piratical
days may have fallen into the hands
of Moorish sea-rovers, turned icnegade
to save his life, and completed his do
mestication by taking unto himself a
Moslem woman to wife. This boy has
picked up a trifie of pigeon-English and
turns it to account in supplicating alms: j
"Givee penny to povero blindol" If he
overhears you conversing in English in
the street, he fastens himself on you,
lays hold of you by whatever article of
attire he can clutch, and will on 110 ac
count let go till you have paid a ransom
for your lioerty.
Then there is your holy beggar—your
mendicant saint or " santo," who being
alllicted with paralysis or imbecility,
conceives himself therefore one of the
chosen children of Allah, and levies his
tax upon your piety rather than your
charity. It is no matter to him that you
owe no allegiance to Mahomet; on the
contrary, he appears to make a particu
lar merit of fleecing "Christian dogs"
of their blanquios, "Santo!" says lie
byway of introduction, tapping him
self on the breast, "una peseta—givee
me! Santo!" aud in further corrobora
tion produces a string of beads and dan
dles them before your eyes.
There is a tiny roofed street in Tan
gier which lies east aqd west, so that it
admits the sun into its recesses during
certain hours only when his heat is mod
erate.
Here, as into a harbor of refuge, drift
the beggarly remnants of decayed men
dicants, and coiling themselves up with
in their jelabs, only leaving their feet
sticking out in some chosen blot of sun
shine, sleep away the memory of their
woes; and if it do not offend you to
staud beside oue of these sack fuls of
humanity, observe narrowly the pro
truding feet, and you will see the toes
open and shut from time to time, like
the claws of lobsters, in the excessive
enjoyment of the warmth and the
siesta.
Suddenly, provoked at last out of all
patience, one of the sleepers wakes and
sits up in a fury of resentment, plunges
his hand down deep iuto the folds of his
ragged robe, and after a brief but deter
mined resistance on the part of the flea,
drags it out iu triumph and having flung
it away from him, subsides agaiu into his
rage and doze.
Gftlvanopla3ty.
We scarcely know whether the notion
of keeping deceased relatives hundreds
of years after tlicy have gone over to the
majority will appear a pleasant one to
most people; but it is stated that there is
a doctor living in Paris who claims to
have discovered a method of so doing, to
which he gives the name of galvanopias
ty. Six mouths, he has stated to an
interviewer, he has been working solely
on the subject of galvauoplastiijues, and
in proof of what he has achieved he
brought forth the body of an infant, ob
tained from one of the hospitals, which
was perfect in every way, the features
being quite rccognizahlo, but which
seemed to be made of brass. The pro
cess consists, we read, first in embalming
the body which is intended to be kept,
after which it is placed in a bath of con
centrated solution of nitrate of silver,
from which, having undergone sundry
other operations, it comes out the color
of polished silver. Electricity is then
brought into play, and a very thin layer
of copper deposited on the features,
which are afterwards varnished, a thor
ough resemblance to the original being
the aim kept steadily iu view. To copper
an infant the cost, says the doctor, would
be about S6O or SBO, aud for a grown
person from S6OO to SBOO. lie added
that, ouce coppered, if relations could
afford it, nothing would be easier than
to have the body silvered or gilded ac
cording to taste, and in this statue-like
form have their dead relatives constantly
around them. The doctor says there is
nothing repulsive ir. the process; but that
is a matter of opinion.—[Loudon Stand

teen feet above the heads of the worship

Women in Wall Street.
The widow of E. A. Pollard, the his
torian of the Southern Confederacy, has
opened in Wall street a broker's oflice
for the accommodation of women who
deal in stocks. It is a curious fact that
no woman who has opened a stock spec
ulator's office has as yet been perma
nently successful. Some, like Hetty
Green, have been shrewd outside buyers
and made money, but so far as I know
those who have opened regular offices
for stock transactions have one and all
lost money, and quit the business. Per
haps this is, after all, a compliment to
women in one way.—[New York Letter.
Talking of patent medicines

And the doctors—some of
them are between you and us.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be
lieve in patent medicines if j
they didn't profess to cure
everything and so, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
" stuff," you lose faith in every
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and j
take the risk of its doing just
what it professes to do.
