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 Btecl battle-hateh or an oily alloy way, where cooks and marines do break iu nnd coal-passers oorrupt. But a paternal Government provides the hammock for Jaoky, and also al lows him the uso of the deok,—From “A Warship Community," by W. J. Henderson, in Soribner’s. POPULAR SCIENCE. Thoro are 230 glaoiers in the Alps said to be over five miles in length. Vultares cannot discover a carcass bp the senso of smell. They rely en tirely upon their sight whou in quest of food. Recent researches on metallic lith ium have shown that this metal can not be distillod in either hydrogen or nitrogeu gases, vigorous combination ooourriug in both euaes. Water turns to steam at 212 de grees, nud if it suddenly vaporizes at these high temperatures in the inter ior of the earth, tho pressures that result are nearly equal to that of gun powder. The uumberof minor planets known between Mars and Jupiter now con- cons'idornhly exceeds 400, of whioh M. Clmrlois, of Nioo, has discovered eighty-six, while Herr Palisa, the Anstralinn astronomer, has detected eighty-three. Tho origin of the gulf stream iB said to be “duo to the reaotion of tho atmosphorio upon the ocoauio circula tion; that is, it is caused by the winds and modified by the form of the con tinental shores and the difference 1 of rotational diameter of tho earth be tween tho oquator and the poles.” The bottom of the Paoiflo, between Hawaii aud California, is said to be so level that a railroad could be laid for five hundred miles without grading anywhere. This foot was discovered by the United States surveying vessel engaged in making soundings with a view of lay ing a cable. "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. ** * Afv linn 1 )' 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.”— New York Sun. 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." —New Orleans Times-Domoorat, 111m Father Maile Coffin*. 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. The oldest university in the world is that of Pekin, China, which has graduated GO, 000 students. 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. WORDS OF' WISDOM.

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.

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.
