JACKY ON SHIPBOARD.
Ills Hum mock I* n Portable Folding Bed
of the Moat I in proved Kfnd.
“.Tacky," as the sailor-man is
called, does not have to provide either
his own hed-linen nor his own food.
Ho docs not provide bod-lineu, be
cause it is a luxury for which he has
no use, and, oven if he had, he would
not know where to pnt his linen'when
ho was uot sleeping upon it. Jnoky's
lied is n hammock, and is a folding,
portable bed of the most improved
kind. People who swing hammocks
on verandas in tho summer know
nothing whatever about Jaoky’s stjle
of bed. His is made of an oblong
piece of stout canvas, fitted with oye-
holoB in tho ends. In the eyo-holes
aro made fast small ropcB, called
“clows," aad these aro laBhed at their
outer ends to a ring. When Jaoky’s
folding-bed is open for use it hangs
by theso rings from hammock-hooks
fitted to the beams under the deoks.
Jaoky has a mattress and a blanket in
his bed, nud he has to keep them
tliore. When he “turns oat,” as get
ting up is called, he rolls his ham-
mook up on its longest axis, and
lashes it with a rope provided for that
purpose. There must be seven turns
in the lashing, with one exaotly in the
middle. The olows are tuokeil in un
der the laslling. Jaoky iB allowed
about teu minutes to turn out and
lash his lmmmook. Thou ho goes up
on the spar deok and hands his ham
mock to one of the stowers, who
dropB it into the nettings. The “net
tings” ore simply troughs in tjro
ship's rail. A tarpaulin is hauled
over the hammocks and luoed down to
keep the rain out, and there they
stay till they aro served out agaiu at
night. Iu the meantime, if Jaoky de
sires to sleep, and iu war times he
does very often need a nap, ho must
porforoo Book the geutle earossos of a

"MAN WHO LOST HIS SHIP."
The ihlrt Drummer’* Veraeloue Tale of
an Incident an the Hoed.
A New York shirt drummer tells an
interesting story of an experience en
route to New Orleans. Shirt drum
mers are regarded as exceptionally
veraoions men, and if this story isn’t
truo, at least, ought to be. Anyhow,
here it is: “I came via Atlanta," said
the traveler, “aud some little distance
out of that oity was lounging in the
Bmoking compartment when in walked
a tall, rather solemn-looking young
man, plainly dressed and apparently
bored. He sat down nnd opened a
newspaper.
“Presently a fnt, red-faced fellow,
ono of the breed they call geniuls,
tried to rope him into conversation.
“ ‘Going far?’ he said.
“ ‘To Atlanta,’ the stranger replied,
pretty short, but still courteous.
" ‘What might be your line, if I may
ask?' the fat man oontinuod.

Frightened Into Health.
Fear is sometimes curative, al -
though vastly less so thau the oppo
site emotions of joy and hopeful ex
pectation. Dr. Tuke reports the case
of a man suffering from rheumatie
fever who was instautly eured by the
shock and fright of a railway ncci-
dont. Sharp relntoB a similar his
tory. Hysterical paralysiB has been
oured by sudden fright, although suoli
occurrences are rarer thau is gener
ally supposed. Michea, a oelebrated
physician, one of the most profound
iu the knowledge of mental diseases,
used to write insulting anonymous
letters to some of his patients in or
der to cure them, and with good re
sults in some hypocliondriaoal cases.
Physicians have sometimes had re
course in hysterionl caBes to threats or
sudden fright to check dangerous
symptoms when all other remedies
have proved useless. Amauu tells of
a hysterical patient who suffered from
tetauie convulsions and trances, and
whose father treated her with blows
and cured her. Pansauiois relates
that a youth recovered his speeoh in
the fright caused by the sight of a
lion; aad Herodotus, iu his history,
narrates that the sou of Croesus was
dumb, and that at the taking of Sardes,
seeing a Persian with drawn sword
about to kill his father, he cried ont,
overcome with fright, “Kill not
Croesus!” aud from that moment he
was able to speak,—Tit-Bits.
An Old Fnmllv Illble.
Mrs. Billard, the daughter of the
late Rov. Oldrin, who lives in Stam
ford, Conn., owns, probably, the oldest
Bible in oxistenoe in tho State. The
Bible came into her possession by in
heritance from her father, who was
pastor of the Methodist Church here,
when the Hoyt brothers, two of them,
Oliver aud William, famous as mil
lionaire leather merohauts in the
"Swamp,” Now York, became mem
bers of that ehuroh. The book is in
the original binding and well preserved,
the Old Testament part having been
printed in 1597 and the New Testa
ment in 1096. The covers are of
wood, aud the book is the size of the
family Bible seen iu the house of
almost every New England family. In
scribed on the yellow flyleaf are the
words:
“Edward Oulldron owns this book,
and aftor his death to his son Edward
Oulldron, given by his grandmother—
1651."
Later on it appears that the spelling
of the family name had been ehanged,
for below the name “John Oldrin” is
the inscription:
"Edward Oldrin’s book, given by
his father on his deathbed in the 1827,
July 28, to be kept iu the family.”—

My line?
“ 'Yes, your business, I mean.’
“ 'Oh I I’m a sailor,a sea-faring man.’
“Weoould all see that the young
man was annoyed, but the fat gent
became interested at onoe and took a
fresh start.
“ ‘A sailor,’ he repeated. ’Well, I’d
never of thought it. Yon were an offl-
oer, I suppose, of course.’
“ ‘Yes, sir,’ said the other. ‘I’ve
been an officer.’
“ ‘Yes, yes. I have a cousin that’s
a steward on the Umbria. Did you
ever command a ship yourself?’
“ ‘I did once,’ ansiverod the young
man.
“ ‘Indeed! I hope you had good
luok with her.’
“ 'That depends upon wliat you call
good lnck.’
“ ‘Why, you didn’t lose her, did
you?’
" ‘I did.’
“ ‘Dear me,' said the fat man,
sympathetically; ‘piled her up, I sup
pose, as they say at sea? I’ve heard
that a captain never gets another job
when onoo he piles up a ship, though
he may bo as innocent as a babe nu-
born.’
“There was silence for a whilo.
Then the fat man started again.
“ 'May I ask,’ he said.'if you expeet
to got another ship?’ ,
“ ‘Can’t say I do,’ snapped the vio-
tim.
“ ‘Dear me, dear me? That’s
tough luok. By the way, what might
be your name?’
“ ‘Hobson,’ said the young man."

A little boy named Peter at a pub-
lio school saw his teacher faint and
fall. In the general confusion it was
hard to keep so many heads cool, and
the little ones flocked round the pros
trate woman and her sympathizing
colleagues. But this small boy kept
both his color aud his coolness. Stand
ing on a bench and raising his hand,
he exolaimed: “Please, teacher, can I
run home and tell father to come? He
makes coffins.”—New York World.

A Doubtful Relative.
A stern professor iu a Chiesgo pre
paratory school for girls sat at his
desk, trying to unravel a knotty prob
lem, when a fluffy-haired miss of six
teen approached. “Please, sir,” sho
began, iu a tremulous voice, “will
you grant me permission to go oat
riding with my brother this after
noon?” The old man had not forgot
ten the days of his youth, and, look
ing over his spectaolos, he slowly said:
"So you want to go riding with your
brother, do you? By tho way, is this
brother of yours any relation to you?”
Odd Theft In Farit.
A theft of a peculiar nature took
place iu the Avenue Daumesnil. A
Government office is situated in that
avenue, aud when tho clerks came
dowu one day they found that the
safe had been broken open and official
stamped paper to the value of 82500
stolen. This must be “swag” some
what difficult to realize on, and the
police ore satisfied that they will
catch the thieves as soon as they at
tempt to turn their booty into cash.

The “America's Cup" Challenger.
In view of the probability that Six
Thomas Lipton’s Shamrock will be
the next yacht to sail for the America’s
cup, it is expedient that we make Sir
Thomas’s acquaintance and try to dis
cern what manner of man he is. The
announcement came by oable, almost
simultaneously with the news of the
prospect of a challenge, that he had
given a hundred thousand pounds to
a Pricoess-of-Wales fund to provide
cheap meals for London workingmen.
We may infer from that thift he has
money to spare and is not adverse to
spending it, provided the occasion ap
peals to him.
He ie an Irishman by derivation,
though born in Glasgow, Scotland.
He laid the foundation of his fortune
by selling Irish bacon to the Scotch,
When Irish bacon ceased to be pro
curable in quantities big enough to
supply the markets he found for it,
he fell back on Chioago, where he has
long had large interests in the pork
packing industry. His fortune is said
to have been very greatly swelled by
investments in Ceylon, where, after
the coffee-bug had destroyed the coffee
plantations, he bought a nnmber of
estates that came into the market and
planted them with tea. It was an ex
periment, and turned out to be suc
cessful and very profitable.
Besides being rieh, shrewd and
benevolent, Sir Thomas is credited
with being a very lively sportsman,
who will make the best race that
British wits and British money can
provide for, and will prove in all re
spects a good and reasonable man to
sail against.—Harper’s Weekly.

HiiHi Jl
Cf/WV.
A Washington special says: The war
investigating committee began its ex
amination of witnesses Tuesday by
placing General Joseph Wheeler on
the stand.
ExrGovernor Beaver conducted the
examination, developing the essential
facts as to General Wheeler’s rank and
his command. General Wheeler
stated that he left Tampa for Cuba on
the 14th of June, but that he had no
knowledge of tho plan of campaign be
fore goiug aboard the transport. He
then told of the voynge. Od June
21 Bt General Shatter ordered him to
disembark tho next day which he did
with a portion of his command.
He rode into the country four miles
that day, and the next moved his
troops to Jaguracita. He then began
hiB rcconnoiteriug, arranging wtth
General Castillo, of the Cuban army,
to send Cubnn troops with his men for
the reconnoiter, but unfortunately the
Cubans did not keep, the engagement.
He told of the first battle at La Quas-
inu, stopping to compliment the reg
ular troop#) and also to speak of their
regular firing. They soon learned to
distrust the reports nnd estimates of
the fipauinrds. General Wheeler had
not been nble on his own account to
secure any estimate of the Spanish
loss during tho American approach
upon Snntingo.
He was in the bnttle of El Coney
nnd expressed tho opinion thnt more
men had been killed in the formation
of the line than afterwards. Ho told
of the necessity for wading the San
Juan river, snymg thnt the water was
about waist deep.
“I ought to sny,” said the general,
iu the course of his testimony, “that
it was magnificent to see officers of
high rank go across with their pnckB
on their backs, accepting all the for
tunes of war with their men. They
slept on the ground with the soldierB.
None of us wore mounted, nnd we
were without tents for seven days. ”
Discussing the plnu of campaign, he
said he doubted whether any more
effective plan could havo been adopted.
Spenking of the medical department,
he said thnt at times there were com
plaints, but that they were not serious.
On occasions there was a shortage of
Burgeons, some of tho surgeons being
sick or wounded.
Going bnck to Tampa, he said that
just nt that season—he was there the
first half of June—the Bite wns with
out objection, hut ho had felt that it
would be wet later in the season. It
was his impression that Tampa land
bedn selected as a enmp site after the
beginning of tho war, nnd wns inci
dental to the intended movement on
Havana. There wns, he said, at times
some shortnge of supplies at the camp,
“hut nothing,” he added, “that a sol
dier coqld complain of.”
Returniug to Santiago campaign, ha
paid that only two regiments had re
ported n shortnge of rations, nnd he
had immediately telephoned to the
rear and the shortage, whioh was dua
to accident, had been adjusted. There
was suffering when the men were com
pelled to lie on the breastworks.
The meat wns poor and they had no
bread but hnrd tuck. They were
forced to live in the sun and water
alternately and necessarily there was
much sickness. While they hnd the
full quotn of doctors nnd nurses, he
thought thnt if more had been fur
nished the men would have been bet
ter cared for. As to rations, three
dnys' supply was generally issued.
Whonovor the troops went into action
they would throw their food nwny as
well as their packs, and they often
did not recover them.
General Wheeler took up the com
mon report that the Cabans stole
goods thus discarded. It wns not fair,
he said, to thus neense the natives,
for there was so much of this flotsnm
nud jetsam that, hungry and poorly
clothed as the Cubans were, they were
not to be blamed for helping them
selves.
