Ho was the man who omo last to ship as seaman aboard the Warrior as she. Jay in the harbor. A fine hyo masted sehnoner was 4he vessel, and Captain Scud<lc-r was properly proud of her as she lay alongside the wharf receiving cargo and pas­ sengers. j$he was to sail with, twen­ ty souls npon her—seventeen men, two women and a lady's maid. At the last moment the captain decid­ ed to augment his crew by one man more. Ere he made a move to en­ gage one ho heard n man’s-voice say- , Special S a l e T h i s M o n t h .

The eaplnin studied the appli­ cant’s , appearance in .detail. A homely .fellow he was, with an' un­ healthy "brown hue-to his sldn, a forehead sinto which, some Tines of sorrow had beer. ‘wrought, roving eyes tha t’met one’s .glance with a slightly startled look, a haggard face without whiskers, a receding chin, hfent shoulders and a graceless way -. of wearing his faded and frayed at­ tire; Bed hands and long wrists pro­ truded from the two snort sleeves of his wornout "blouse. . “What do you know about sail­ ing?” asked tbe captain III a torib of ridicule, “Not’much, sir. I ’ve worked with fishermen, and I know a little about handling a smack.” “I reckon wo dofflt need you. iSver hem on a schooner before at all?” . " " • . " f ■ “Often as a passenger, sir. I know I ’m not a seaman, but I’ll do*any- tiling, I' want' to get back to my people;” . “You look strong enough. But why do you hang your head like "that? Onb would’ think you were a coward." “I am,” said the man in a low . voice.: 1 • “What! And you admit it?” “Yes. Why not? I’ve fought hard against it, hut J can’t help ,it.\ 1 make up my mind to be brave enough, hut when the time comes for it"I ’m afraid” - . The captain had never met such a character, as this before, and he ,W»s interested. A lew other'lotmg- ers on the wharf stopped to over­ hear- the conversation, their atten­ tion ."first; being attracted by the ' great height of the man. ‘ “Afraid of what?” asked the cap; tain, ■ . “I don’t know—of death, I imp­ ose. -This is how it is: I came from omo with a comrade; I go back alone. Gut* day,when we,were out in a little slobp a-storm came up; and, ip it sudden lurch of the boat my partner was knocked overboard by the boom. In half a minute the . boat was several fathoms away from him; lie couldn’t swim.” “Why didn’t you throw him n line?” asked a bystander. . “Because I was afraid for my own coward’s life! 1 didn’t dare-to let go tho tiller for a moment. 1 stood there etuPid with fear, afraid to; leave the tiller for an instant, afraid of death. I felt like a man para­ lysed. A& tlm boat rose and fell on thewaves 1 watched my Wend strug­ gle in the sea. I saw him throw up his arms. I saw ly's fate white with terror. I heard him cry out, 'Save me!’ and then ho must have read what was in my scared fact*, for be shouted, 'Coward!’ and scut me it look of hate as the waters covered him up. I don’t know how I made land, but 1 got in safe after six hours of tossing, when the gale fell. I ’d give my* life, if 1 only could, to know that V wasn’t a coward, but when the time comes to Show it I haven’t the power. You don’t know the shame of it, sir, but you would if ,you could see that look on my comrade's face, nnd if his last cry rang in your cars day and night. Cowardice is upon me like a curse. I t’s the blight of my life, sir.” . Such evident slmrae and grief were upon the man's face that all who heard, including the captain# were moved to some pity of his state, and so much curiosity had ho excit­ ed in the captain’s mind that he was employed for the voyage. When tbe Warrior hoisted sail an hour later, she had twenty-one souls aboard. The captain classified!them thus: Seventeen men, two ladies, ft maid and a eoward. ■ . The Warrior had good winds at the start of her voyage, hut one night a wind ro;e, and at daylight there wa 3 .a heavy gale. Whitccaps danced wildly upon the waters of the sound. Tho perturbation of the sea was becoming frightful. The vessel was driving straight on to a rocky coast, /The passengers, pale with dread of the coming" catastro­ phe, lashed themselves to the deck or clung to the rigging* tnptam. ScUddcr shouted the warning ot the doom of the Warrior above the sound of the sea: , ,v,„n “Nothing under heaven cart change her course!” , Yet he and his crew strove nmar* theloss to the last. Every one <>rt board knew that the vessel was dnft* in* rapidly j that ««•« « « mt,sl strike and be,dashed to pu to.. ' The sea awopt her deck and btoka over her masts, rieven men nung ro the riggmg for life. They looked ashore.' Only 150 yards away stood a group of islanders, as helpless to succor those in peril as the latter were to .save themselves. H otv the^ position of the vessel was this; Where Bandy point drop? beneath the sea it docs not end, but 'i t * s prolonged wider the water, making thus a perilous sand bar. Out upon this bar was the Warrior, The island tides from the east and from the west meet here. There is no more terrible place in a gale than that where two seas collide. The storm grew, Such was the work of wind and sea that times were .when the sand bar from the shore to the vessel was swept naked. But its nudity whs.speedily buried under heavier seas. Passengers "and crew, fatigued with labor and loss of sleep, assailed by a biting wind, at last succumbed to. chill and numbness and made no more effort. Then arose one of their number, a tall, gaunt fellow, whom the cap­ tain had called a coward in. harbor, and he proceeded ■ to belabor them and to keep them active, that they might not perish from the cold, “There’s, hope yet!” -he cried, “Keep alive, men!” And one after another, did he aWalcen by rude shaking and warm by his rough ehafirtgs. Some caught his spirit, and by the labors of their weary rifuscles they set their frozen blood in quick­ er motion. * “But what use ?” cried one, ' “The end must come.” . “Aye, hut there’s one chance!” shouted the coward, who now loom­ ed up large and resolute. “Look! The sea lias rolled hack nnd left the bar imcovered. A° man "could Tim ashore on that, maybe, while the sea held back.” Two men laughed madly.- “Aye, maybe! Look now!” said one, with savage sarcasm. The coward lo.oked. The sea had swelled up and hidden the bar far beneath its foaming vvaters.

Sul­ lenly the waters roiled apart. The Eand bar was naked. The man jump; sd from the gunwale and ran. The people on the vessel watched him with waking hope and cessation of breath, .The hundreds of island­ ers on shore stood silent, thrilled, eager."

J t is the general theory among the"majority of .people that graham bread is far more digestible than that made of flour thoroughly “bolt­ ed” or separated from the bran and middlings. Such does not '.appear to be the fact, however, if we are to credit -experiments of tlio depart­ ment of, agriculture, Digestion experiments were care­ fully carried out with bread from, each of the several kinds of flour* and the proportions of protein, as­ similated and rejected by the sys­ tem Carefully determined. The whole wheat flours may afford a greater proportion of the mineral nutritions, however, as this phase of the subject was not studied, but a? far as the available protein fats, carbohydrates and energy are con­ cerned the patent roller flours are preferable. According to tlie chem­ ical analysis of graham, entire wheat and standard patent flours milled from the same lot of hard Scotch Fife spring wheat the graham flour contained the highest and’ the pat­ ent flour tho lowest percentage of total protein. The" results of ,the digestion experiments with those flours showed tliat they were inval­ uable iu the reverse order—Hhat Is, the standard patent roller flour af­ forded lb6 greatest amount of as­ similable protein, while the graham and" whole wheat afforded lesser amounts. ■. This paradox, that the1flour con­ taining the smallest proportion of protein should afford the greatest proportion available for digestion, is explained’by the coarseness of the particles of the whole wheat va­ rieties. The bran and germ of these flours resist the action, of the diges­ tive juices to a great degree ai\d con­ sequently pass through the system unaltered. ‘ On tlie other hand, the finely ground condition of the pat­ ent flour improves its digestibility. I t was also shown that the addi­ tion, of wheat starch to flour did not improve- its breadmaking- qualities or the size of the loaf. The most desirable flour for breadmaking ap­ pears to be one produced by blend­ ing hard and soft wheat flours, fn which the undesirable properties of thei gluten of each are counterbal­ anced,1—Bakers’ Review, , Metals That Coot, , One of the most "curious "of the rare- metals is ■vanadium, which melts at 2,000 degrees 1*\ and is not attacked by cither muriatic acid or nitric acid. I t increases the ductil­ ity of copper'and'iron and. would be very valuable to electro metal­ lurgists on account of the properties named if the price of it were not so high* $593 a pound. Its chief use at present is for coloring glass. " • "Uranium is likewise, employed in the making of glais and porcelain, though, it is "expensive, being worth $80-a pound. . Iridium is valued today at $780 a pound and is the hardest1metal known. I t is used for tips of gold pens. Palladium costs $483 a pound and is employed for astronomical instruments. Lithium, which is quoted at $1>- 100 a pdund, is prescribed by doc­ tors for rheumatism—its salts, that is. to say—but no use lias lieCn found for" it outside of medicine. Too Brave to Bo Killed. The first white person who made a permanent settlement in the coun­ ty of Onondaga, X. Y0Vwas Ephra­ im Webster. Ho traded with the Indians, became familiar with their language and customs and was for many years..Indian agent and inter­ preter for the Oriondagas. I t some­ times happened that the Indians, on account of fancied or real wrongs, became offended with him. More than oned they threatened his life," . At one time the Indians tied him to a tree and amused themselves by throwing tomahawks to see how near they could, como to his head and not hit it. Sometimes the whis­ tling missile grazed his hair. The sport was kept up for more tlmn an hour, during which time Webster did not flinch. His coolness excited •the admiration of his tormentors. Making It C lear, An Old lady is said to have been asked how to toll good indigo, “Ppwder tlie indigo,” said she, “sprinkle it upon cold water, and if it is good ft will cither sink' or swini, I have forgotten which.” I t was the same with Aunt Cliar- ity’s eggs. “Jest take a dozen of ’em—no, a half a dozen of ’em—no, it’s a doz­ en-well, raaly I can't say, but it’s either a dozen or n half dozen—and you put ’em in a pailful—no, a half .pailfUl—part full—no, it’s a pailful —nor—well, Well, it’s either a pailful pr a half pailful of water—and the good feggs will swim on top—no, the gotid eggs will sink to the bottom— ho, that’s hot it—the good eggs will swim—no, nd, I declare, 1 don’t raaly know, but, anyway, the good eggs will either sink dr swim.” How Chameleons Climb.

The Many Uses That May Bo Made cf Paper In Ifus Kitchen. A housekeeper in Tin* Yathnr.l Stockman suqiest-i many way.; y>j uee"paper in the kitchen." ShcWn; One can hardly realize until trial is made what a saving.there may be by using paper instead of the dish­ cloth for wiping greasy pans awl dishes. I fold.a soft newspaper so I can with a knife run through many folds at once and cut'Into convcu-j iept size, make a hole through the corners of many thicknesses at ones with the largo meat fork or shears points—hang the whole hunch with­ in reach of tho place in which I stand at dishwashing. I t is easy to take a piece to wipe away anything that ought not to go into the dish­ water. • When the outside of the milk pail Iras some extra soiling on -it, take a piece of paper, dip into water, wipe the milk pail and put the paper in the “burning bucket,” as we call the, trash'bucket. Of- course we do not want the outside even of the milk pails to get so dirty, but on fh®ordinary farm they sometimes do, and I try to do the next best thing to keeping them clean—that is, cleaning them in, the easiest way. ’ In dressing a turkey or even chick­ ens I lay some thicknesses of paper on the table, and when dope I can take up tho whole mess and" throw what, the cats and living chickens will eat to them and the. paper to be burned, saving" the soiling of any­ thing that has 16 he washed. i f Downfall pf China. As almost all cooks have’ a “china record” that is lamentable, the con­ dition of the .china eldset in the average household is a cause of con­ stant annoyance to the housewife. The final Sorting of table furnish­ ings after the festivities are over is always accompanied with forebod­ ings oh the part of the mistress who has learned by. experience thnfevery dinner or luncheon 'marks the fall of some fragile piece of pottery. Many 'a hostess hus been forced to ' ’limit her guest list io -the .number of available cups and plates, and the less vigilant in household matters have qften been horrified to behold tbe most important of critical guest surrounded by a collection of china that looked Liked nothing so much as the odds and ends to be found on, a bargain counter. "Dealers iu fine china are making prices just now that might be found more than in­ teresting to those with whom the replenishing process is always in or-. der, and many a rare bit of ware • that would serve nicely ns a' dining room decoration can bo picked, up at one-half the usual cost.—^Pitts­ burg Dispatch. ■' Linen Covero. In tlie way of fancy table linens one that is decidedly new is a double effect. The center is of some color around which is appliqued a very heavy border of white, the width! of the border being about ns much as the-diameter of the center. The edges.are all frayed out, the color and. the white intermixing in a very. effective mapper. The while mate­ rial at both edges is frequently em­ broidered, the embroidery tacking it on to the under piece of the mate­ rial. The whole is decidedly strik­ ing, novel and effective. Another idea in fancy table linen shows embroidery of silk and druwu- work both worked up in tho same design on a-piece of linen. The drawnwork is made "to fit in most neatly and forms a part of the de­ sign and is not, as. is frequently-the ease, a separate adornment. A Chinese Punishment That Dawned Strong Man GsntJow. One of the Chinese modes of pun­ ishment, especially when it is de­ sired to extort a confession from a criminal, is to place .him where a drop of water will fall ott dim cer­ tain spot of liis shaven "crowii for hours. 'Some measure of the tor- .ture this Inflicted was once experi­ enced by Sandow, the “strong man,” says Tho World’s Events. When Sandow was in Vienna some years ago, a schoolmaster made a wager with him that he would not be able to let a half liter of water drop on his hand until the measure was exhausted* Sandow laughed at the idea. The'measure was procured and a "hole drilled in the bottom sufficient to iet the water escape drop by drop. The experiment began. HandoW chatted gaylv at first. The school­ master stood by and counted the drops as they fell. At the two hun­ dredth Sandow became, less jovial j then ho became sober, and an ex­ pression of pain crossed Ids face, At the three hundredth his hand began to swell nnd grow red. The pain increased and at length became excruciating. Then tlm skin burst. Finally at the four hundred and twentieth drop Sandow acknowl­ edged his defeat. ™F<m B unt —lk-st office room iu- Ccdnrville—over Hitchcock's billiard room. s . J , 1\ Chew.

But .perhaps the most cujour means of communication in tho world is the drum language'Of a Kongo tribe. These queer people can talk to each other with large drums"made of bamboo hoops, over which the skin of some animal is stretched, The drum, however, is used only on important occasions. ■ Raying a Debt* Tlie celebrated^French poet Saint- Eoix, who in spite of his large in­ come wa's always in debt, sat one day in a barbers shop waiting to be shaved. He Was lathered When the door opened and a tradesman enter- , ed whq happened to be one.of tho,. poet’s largest creditors. No sooner did this man sec Baint-Eoix than he angrily demanded his money.- Tho poet composedly begged him not to make a scene. “Won’t you wait for tho money until I am shaved?” “Certainly,” said the other, pleas­ ed at the prospect. „ Saint-l;oix thin made the barber, a witness of the agreement afld im­ mediately took a towel, wiped the lather from .his faco nnd left tho shop. He wore a beard to the .end of bis days. ,(u A R«a1 'L0*»' A gentleman who 'knew Bronson Howard, when ho was a buy in De­ troit met him in New York one day and asked him if it Were true, m he had heard, that William Winter had been a.Ves-v hitter caUu; of hi* early piimC but that the sting "h*4 been extwettd from his pen by » dinner tit which soiuo of' their mu­ tual friends hud managed to bring them together. * “Yes,” said Howard, “he wa* th * '- only enemy I ever had.
