The Skipper's Woes—By ‘‘An Old Saflt."
Have pity, ye marine and local boards.
Ye little magnates—yea, most mighty
lords—
On the poor skipper, for his lot ts cast
Where fate, unkind, pursues him to the
last.
Alas! poor man, his is an evil plight;
He's always wrong; he’s never in the
right.
Upon him, like a scapegoat, must be
thrown
The faults of others, not to say his own;
Disaster comes, and tho’ ’twas not hlo
fault,
“ ’Tis plain the fellow ts not worth his
salt.”
Should fogs or currents put his reckoning
out,
At once they ask, “What was the fool
about?"
His ship Is wrecked, or by collision sunk;
Of course he has to prove he wasn't
drunk.
If freights are low—who but himself to
blame?
Jack’s duff is spoiled; at once he says
the same.
The beef all bone and innocent of fat.
Who but the skipper is to blame for that?
He shortens sail on some dark stormy
night.
Jack growls, and vows he did it out of
spite.
Now he must teach the carpenter his
trade.
Now show the sailmaker how the sails are
made.
In time of need he must be midwife, too,
Or he'.p to kill—as oth£r doctors do.
Should a poor sailor sleep his long last
sleep,
He—parson, then—consigns him to the
deep;
■4nd If he has a tear or two to spare
He acts chief mourner and bestows them
there.
Well up in cooking, and in skill profound
At weighing tea and sugar by the pound.
Should there be strife or mutiny on board,
He drops the sca.es and then takes up
the sword;
And when the strife Is over, goes his
rounds.
And—surgeon, then—binds up the gap
ing wounds.
Now, as astronomer, he views the stars,
Measures a distance 'twixt the moon and
Mars.
A meteorologist we find him now,
Recording calms or winds—blow high or
low.
Of course, he’s Euclid at his finger’s ends.
Or, what is harder, knows all knots and
bends.
Is cunning, too, at mixing paints and oils,
Takes everything in hand, and nothing
spoils.
Versed in exchanges—up in bills of lading.
And, now a merchant, for his owners trad
ing;
They praise him high, declare he is a
gem;
The credit his—the cash all goes to them.
On deck at night, amid the pelting rain,
Get a Start
on Catarrh.
- This most offensive of all diseases becomes more intense as
cold weather approaches. In fact, many who have been under treat
ment for so long, and during the summer feel little discomfort
from the disease, are almost persuaded that they have been cured.
But the first chilling blast of winter proves that the disease is
still with them, and as the winter advances, their Catarrh grows
in severity. Those who have felt only a slight touch of Catarrh,
may be sure that only cold weather is needed to develop the
disease. What appears to be only a bad cold will prove more
difficult to cure than formerly, and will return with more fre
quency, until before long the disease is fully developed.
n “For years I suffere 1 from a severe case of
Catarrh, and took several kinds of medicines
f jOk and used various local applications, but they
/ JrA bad no effect whatever. I was induced to try
S.S.S. (Swift’s Specific) and after two months
I*7 fa/ I was perfectly well, and have never felt any
I effects of the disease since.’’
Jr B. P. McAllister, Harrodsburg, Ky.
It is eas Y to see *h e importance of prompt
treatment for Catarrh. Those who get a start on
disease before the cold and disagreeable
weather aggravates it, will find a cure less difficult. Catarrh
increases in severity year by year, and becomes one of the most ob
stinate and deep-seated troubles. But it is equally important that
the right remedy he given. All local treatment of sprays, washes,
inhalations, etc., can never cure Catarrh, for they do not reach the
disease. Catarrh is in the blood, and only a blood remedy can
cure it. Local applications only reach the irritated surface; the
right remedy must be taken internally.
Swift’s Specific (S.S.S.) is the right remedy for Catarrh. It
cures the most obstinate cases by going direct to the cause of the
trouble —the blood—and forcing out the disease. Those who have
met with so much disappointment from local treatment should
throw aside their sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures and take
S.S.S. A cure will result. Send for free books. Address Swift
Specific Company, P, O. Box Y, Atlanta, Georgia^
In wearying calm, or dreadful hurricane,
China typhoon, cyclones in Indian seas,
Africa's tornadoes—all mere trlfies these;
Or bright glare at night oft Newfound
land
Proclaims the dreaded iceberg close at
hand.
Such dangers o’er, long wished-for rest
Is sought.
But "Hard n-starboard!” and then “Hard
a-port!"
Disturbs his dreams; and, rushing from
below,
“A light close to, sir, on the weather
bow!”
“Hard, up!” bawls one; “Hard down!”
another cries,
While half asleep, the weary skipper tries
To peer amid the gloom, there to discern
A steamer’s light—now half a mile astern.
Once more he sleeps—but now his sleep
invade
Dreams of inquiry courts and boards of
trade.
On board a steamer, now he scorns the
wind;
But other cares oppress his anxious mind.
Of valves and pistons, cylinders and
screws.
He knows, or ought to know, the names
and use.
Surface condensers, steam and vacuum
gauges,
Of coal combustion in its various stages,
Of salt In boilers and its incrustations.
Of screw propellers and side-wheei gyra
tlons;
Of things in general—air, and sky, ana
sea—
A walking cyclopeadia he must be.
Arrived in port: “Well, what’s up now?”
you ask;
They've found a little powder in his
flask—
Fine him five pounds, and see, careless
dog—
Here’s an omission in the official log;
Fine him again—the law must be enforced;
Someone must pay, so let him bear the
cost.
Alas! poor skipper, if at sea you’ve trouble,
Arrived In port, you may perhaps have
double.
You're fined for this because you didn’t
do It,
For something else because you never
knew it.
Fined to the last and turned from door
to door, *
To find your are hot wanted any more.

A HOMANTIC STORY.
Napoleon's Grand Ncpliew May Suc
ceed Senator Gorman.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Col. Charles Jerome Bonaparte, a grand
nephew of Napoleon, the first emperor, is
said to be a candidate for Senator Gor
man’s seat. Mr. Bonaparte is a lawyer of
Baltimore, of great wealth and high so
cial standing. He has had more or less to
do with politics for many years, and has
always been an active reformer. He was
one of the charter members of the Na
tional Civil Service Reform Association,
and never fails to attend its meetings. He
has written a great deal on the merit
system in the civil service of the national
government, as well as the states and
municipalities. He has fought rings and
machines and advocated independence in
politics, and was one of the most energetic
advocates of the reorganization of the city
government of Baltimore. Col. Bonaparte
Is a son of Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte,
and the grandson of Jerome Bonaparte,
brother of Napoleon the Great, and Eliza
beth Patterson, a Baltimore belle, whom
he married while he was on a visit to the
United States, and she was the niece of
the man from whom Scott drew and
named the character and book “OM Mor
tality.” The emperor refused
to acknowledge hls wife, and
when the couple went to Europe Jerome
was arrested and she was prohibited from
landing. She was offered a pension of
$12,000 a year for life If she would return
to America and trouble her husband no
more. She agreed to do so If the legiti
macy of her children was acknowledged,
which was done. Her husband afterward
married Catherine, the daughter of the
King of Wurtemberg, and became King
of Westphalia. He offered his American
wife a ducal crown and a pension of sto,-
000 a year If she would release her son to
him, but she declined. The son. however,
was fully legitimatized and received as a
member of the Bonaparte family. His
cousin, Napoleon in, entertained him In
France and offered him a duchy, but he
declined It. He had two sons, Charles J.
Bonaparte, mentioned above, and the late
Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, who married
a granddaughter of Daniel Webster, and
lived In Washington.

SOME PI7.ZLERS,
Mental Exercises for the Mathemati
cally Inclined.
From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
Little arithmetical problems with a
"catch" in them are always fascinating
to the average man. No matter how sim
ple they appear, you will find the banker
and the broker disputing over them on
’Change or In the counting rooms of the
capitalists. Here are one or two that have
been floating around among the business
men of Cincinnati for two or three weeks:
A banker found a ten-dollar bill. At home
he gave It to his wife, who paid the butch
er in settlement of his account. The
butcher paid it to the farmer for a calf
and the farmer paid It to the merchant,
who in turn paid it to the washerwoman,
and she, owing the banker a note of $lO,
went to the banker and paid the note. The
banker recognized the bill as the one he
had found and which up to that .time had
settled SSO of debt. On a careful examina
tion he found the bill was counterfeit. Of
course the problem is, who lost in the
transaction?"
Here’s another,but along a different line,
and they do say that men who are 'way
up in local finance were disputing over the
question on 'Change, though It is ex
tremely simple: A man bought a horse and
buggy for sllO. The horse co.Ht SIOO more
than the buggy. What did the buggy cost
the owner? That's easy, but don't go to
work to figure it by algebra.
There’s one more, a very old one, but
It's good and not near as easy as the oth
ers. A man went into a shoemaker's shop
and bought a pair of shoes for $5. He gave
the shoemaker a $lO bill. The shoemaker
had no change, but went to a neighbor
and got the ten changed. He returned and
gave the purchaser his change, $5. A short
time afterward the neighbor came in and
claimed the ten was counterfeit. As he
was right, the shoemaker was compelled
to make the ten good, which he did by
giving a good ten for the counterfeit. Now,
how much was the shoemaker out in the
whole transaction. t
rrlnce of M ales’ Home Life.
From the London Figaro.
One of the kindest and most considerate
of hosts is the Prince of Wales. Both his
royal highness and the princess allow their
guests to be happy In their own way, and
leave those whom they invite to partake
of their hospitality entirely according to
their own inclinations. At Maryborough
house there Is, of course, a certain amount
of ceremony observed, but when at their
Norfolk home the princess Is altogether In-
formal. Rarely a day passes by without
her royal highness visiting the stables and
making a call on her ponies, laden with
apples, carrots and sugar, for their ben
efit, and every morning regularly she may
be seen in a big white apron, feeding her
dogs from a basket hanging from her arm.
Within doors the scene is one of supreme
cosiness. The furniture is most luxurious,
and the house a perfect bower of flowers,
for the princess wills it so. The conserva
tories are aiway's ransacked during the
prince and princess’ stay. There is a
postoffice in the house, where stamps and
money orders may be had and telegrams
sent. Both the prince and princess are
simply adored round about their Norfolk
home, and deservedly, for they never fail
to study the comfort and well-being of
those who serve them or to make their
people’s troubles their own.
RACED A. WATERSPOUT.
An Exciting Adventure on n Train
In Mexico.
From the Mexican Herald.
Tuesday afternoon there was a race rut*
between a passenger train on the Inter
oceanic and a waterspout. The race was
declared a draw, as the train escaped from
the immediate effects of the waterspout
which burst against the crest of the moun
tain, but the immense volume of water
poured down the mountain side, along the
roadbed and Anally caught up with the
train and inundated It so that the pas
sengers had to be taken off In hand
cars.
The particulars of this unique race are
highly interesting. It was the dally pas
senger train from Puebla to this city,
and a large number of pasengers were
aboard. At about 4:30 the sky became
suddenly covered with masses of black
clouds. An inky waterspout culebra, a9
it is called by reason of its resemblance
to a writhing serpent, hung from the
heavens and advanced rapidly In the
track of the moving train. There was
great excitement among the passengers.
The people In the third-class coach,
who had the best view of the phenomen
on, went down on their knees in prayers
for deliverance.
When the engineer learned of the panto
aboard the train he decided to show the
eulebra his heels. Up grade, down grade,
around sharp curves, across bridges and
over the levels flew that passenger train
with the waterspout Just behind, and
gaining just a little.
The train entered a canon, turned a
curve, and at the same moment the chas
ing culebra came to grief high up on the
mountain side. The water poured down
the slopes in raging torrents, and as the
train emerged from the other side of the
gorge a vast sheet of water, bearing
trees, rocks and ail kinds of debris on
its bosom, threatened to engulf it. Wider
the eugineer threw the throttle, endeavor
ing to escape this new danger. And all
would have been safe, but another sharp
curve Intervened and the engine Jumped
the track. The engineer saw the danger
and reversed the lever and applied the
brakes. The engine rolled down the em
bankment, but the rest of the train.
Including the tender, remained on the
track.
The next moment the mass of water
struck the now stationary train and
flooded it to the level of the platforms.
The passengers and crew were helpless
to do more than look out to see what had
become of the engineer and fireman, sup
posing them killed. But they both
scrambled, or rather swam, out of the
window of the overturned cab, and
Clambered back to the train. _
