from Ran Francisco. In tbs year 1873
a man from Massachusetts came to
Csiitorota with a chronic liver com

for a mineral spring to cure th* dis

Ran Joaquin valley a spring lb* water*
of which almost instantly .cured him.
He thereupon started a sanitarium,
and people all over the world came

thia man died, and so powerful had
been th* action of the waters that
they had to ink* his liver out and kill

Hardly a day pnsees that Shipping Com
mtarfoiMir Tillman does not have two cr
three appßcnttons from boys who want to
Alp m sailoea The most of these boys are
between th* ages of IS and 18 and have
never tawn oot of fe* right of land or seen
• vassal larger than a small coaster. AH
of these appiicatioSMi are treated kindly by
Mr. Tolman, who, after questioning them
an to their bosom and parents, their intan
ttana ant reaaom for wanting to go to
am, neutrally soda tbs interview by asaur
fawr ta* would b* sailors that ba ha* no
opportunity far them to atop aS present,
but wiß bear them ta mind and gfv* teem
tba first cheooe that eosnes along. Head
rtses them to call again in a few days, but
it te dos often that the chipping eommte-
Stener ever bean from them again. Th*
boys are anxious to see aometlucgof tea
wrortdand in nearly every owe have good
homes and opportunities far entering some
kind of business which will prove more
Inersttve and far score plresant than a
mUor’sUfa
The applications from the boys are so
numerous that Mr. Tolman does no* pay
mueh attenttaß to them now. He seldom
has a thane* for boys to ship on large ves
sels, as no sea captains wish to take teem.
There te soscetimes a chance for boys togo
to sea in the larger vereete white are bound
on long voyages for South America or the
Vest Indies, bat as marly all the vessels
Bailing out of Portland are ta the coasting
trade tbe ahipsii active have no use for bor*
and win no* take them it they can help it.
And yet, though tbe shipmasters will
not take boys and gi vw them an opportu
nity of learning aeaaaambfo, they all cum
ptain because there are net to be found
mere American saOora. Said one ship
master fte other day: “I have not had an
American sailor on my vessel for so long
that I cannot remember tbe fast one. They
are all Norwegians, Dunes. Ceresans. Nova
Scotian* or P. E. L X Irishmen or other
fareignen. It seems as if there were no
American sailors afloat now.**
When Shipping Commissioner Tolman
asked thia very shipmaster if he had room
on hoard his vessel for a bright young
American bey who wanted to team sea
manship, the roaster replied: "Why, roy
dear sir, what ure i a boy to me? I
couldn’t afierd to pay him M a month I
bare no use far a toy on my ship. A num
wbo eats of tbe tread of my owners mast
be able to pay np for it, and his salt be
sides."
Cntii«®e dnnof is give® boys to team
am mam hip on American vessels there is
Uttlateancoof there being a great increase
ta the number of Aaaerican wmiti This
is recognised to be a serious question by
tbe navy daparteMnt, and for tee purpose
cf encoGraging American boys-to learn
eremanship the apprentice service was in
augurated. This is giving tbs navy an
able corps of patty and warrant ofiteers,
hot the enlisted men in th* navy are still
mostly foreigners. Tin ratactanec of ship

DICK’S GOOD TIME. -
A Tory He— ■** XtoJ*rt-X
Maraad fee ward.
A portly gentleman sat on tbe porch
and united white a small boy, afoo
mailing, y-*<staA the front fence.
"Look at that boy,” tbe portly man
remarked to a vfaitoe. “He thinks he
ta having a good time. A small boy is
enrely the drollest creature on earth.
Wben I was a youngster, I remember
that there were certain kinds of work I,
considered play, and on* of them waa
—inting. I was always cragy to paint
teeny times I have taken a bucket of
muddy water and an old paint brush
and hare spent a whole half day put
ting a thick coat cn-the aide of my fa
ther’sham. '
“So with my boy Dick, the little
chap ptinring the fence. He has always
been cragyto paint He is enjoying
himself now—you can see he is, and he
will paint that whc.e fence, too, just
as well as be knows how. I don't caro
if it is a trifle smeared. He’s getting
joy, solid joy, thicker than the paint
cn his hands and clothes.
“There’s a mean side to it toa He
wanted to paint the fence, and I wanted
the weeds pulled out of the yard. Sa
like an underhanded rascal, I bargained
with him. I told him that if be would
pull all the weeds out I would let him
paint the fence. He went through the
other job like a soldier —he hates to
pull weeds; all boy* do—and now he
thinks he is getting his reward. It is a
downright ttame to fool him that way.
don’t you think so?”
The portly gentleman chuckled again,
and tbe small boy, wild with joy, went
on plastering paint on the fence. —De-

Crossing the threshold waa and so
the mort critical period of the wedding
day with all races, not even excepting
tbe Anglo-Saxon.
Tbe auperatitious fears of the many,
always particularly alert on the occa
sion of a marriage, culminate in this
final act of the drama. The lifting of
the bride over the threshold or her step
ping across it is tbe signal in Persia,
Arabia and among tbe Copts of Egypt
far tbe sacrifice of a goat or a sheep.
Among the .Aenens, according to
Burckhardt, the bridegroom simply
kiHs a lamb in front of his father-in
law’s tent, and the ceremony, but for
the running of the bride from one tent
to another, is complete. Perhaps the
purest symbolical act is that of the
Transylvanian Saxon bridal pair, who
seep over the threshold with their hands
tied together. Some of these Transyl
vanian customs are remarkable and
most be survivals from a very ancient
period. The bridegnxKn never wean
the ahirt made for him by tbe bride ex
cept on his wedding day and at his
burial, jut as tbe veil of the Japanese
bride becomes one day her shroud.-
