LINERS LOST AT SEA.
A OAPTAIH’B BTOHV OF WHO B OF
TEHEST TO BLAME.
He Also iMCMtI Whp, When M
Ocean Steamer Goes Dawn, Her
(•■insider la Seldom to Ba Wann*
Aman* These Who Were Saved.
“There's another side to this ques
tion of the criminal careieumees of the
commander which we hear so much
talk about whenever a liner is lost,”
said the captain of a big ocean steam
ship the other day. “It’s not the,cap
tain who is really to blame in one case
out of ten even when he is running his
ship at full speed through a fog. It's
the public that’s to blame, and I’ll tell
you how it is.
“To begin with, everybody knows of
the rivalry between the different linen
Everybody (knows whaf a difference
there is, in the estimation Os the public,
between the rival boats of the same
grade which Mart at the tatao time and
come in 24 home apart. The man who
has traveled by the boat that'comes in
last is going to say to himself that next
time he will go on the’ So-and-so, which
must be a better boat, for didn’t she
come in a dayahbad of the one he came
on?
"The captain of boat No. 1 is a hero
for the fime being, and-the company he
works for smite* oh him. That he has
run all the way at full speed through
heavy seas and fogs and haff taken all
kinds df riHfa-fae-knows, but he doesn’t
say anything about that; and the com
pany doesn’t, Cither. They have beaten
the other line, and that is enough.
“The 'captain of boat No. 2, which
canrein ■ day behind the other, knows
jest what is in store for him before he
reports at the office of his company.
Thisis-fftfont Wtat hO hears:
‘“Why, how is this, Mr. Blank?
You came in 24- hours behind the So
and-so. What was the matter anyhow?’
‘“Well, yon see,‘isya thAcaptain,
‘we had' storms part of ’tSe-way, and
when we got to the banks we struck a
fog so thick you couldn’t see your hand
before your face, Add We had to run at
half speed all day. ’
“ ‘Ahem!’ cHb 'df the owners will
say. ‘Ahem! It’s a bad thing, Mr.
Blank, for us-fb be beaten 24 hours by
the So-and-so. ’
"Captain Blank says no more, but
feels that he has been reproved, and he
remembers It on the next trip. The sea
may be running “mountains Mgh* and
the fog may be so thick you can’t see
the funnel from the bridge, but be is
bound to get in on time this trip, and
he does. The owners of the line smile
on him. So he knows what he is re
quired to do and goes on making record
trips.
"It is the public; you eee, which the
company has got to plteae if it is to ex
ist, and the captain has to pleasd’the
company. Some day he does this once
too often. He collides with another ship
in a fog, maybe, or rnns on the rocks.
Perhaps the natural love of life or the
thought of a helpless family keeps him
from deliberately going to the bottom
with the ship, bnt he knows that his
career is at an end.
"The board sits on the case, and if
there is any evidence to show that the
accident was due to the carelessness of
the commander in running at full speed
in thick weather, or whatever the case
may be, he ia reprimanded and his cer
tificate suspended for some months at
least. When at last he gets the certifi
cate baek, it has a' hole punched in it.
"Now let ua suppose that he has been
a faithful servant of the company for a
good while, and they like him and de
cide to transfer him to another ship and
give him a chance for existence. Thia
new ihip has to be insured, of course,
before i!:e goes to sea. The underwriters
make their examination and in the
course of their inquiries there comes up
the question as to who is the captain of
the ship.
"When they hear the name, they will
probably say: ‘ Why, let us see I Isn’t
he the man who sunk the So-and-so?
Yes? Oh, we can’t take any risks on a
ship commanded by Captain Blank!
Put another commander fa his place
and it will be all right.’
"The company is therefore obliged to
dismiss Captain Blank. Then he starts
out to find another situation. His cer
tificate, you remember, has-a hole in it
He goes to see the owners of another
line. As soon as they hear bis name
they say:
“‘Oh, yes. Didn’t you command
the So-and-so?’
“ ‘Yes, I commanded that boat. ’
“‘Humph! Very Bdrry, captain, but
we haven’t anything just now. If we
should have anything, we will let you
know. ’ ~
“This scene is repeated at one steam
ship office after another on both sides
of the water.”
The captain leaned his elbows on the
table. “Do you Wonder, ”he said after
a pause, “ that -generally when a liner
is lost at sea her commander isn’t among
the saved? But mark my words, ” bead
ed, rising, “in almost every disaster,
when the cry of negligence is loudest,
it’s the public that’s to blame and not
the captain, who only does what he is
obliged to da”—New York Sun.

STREET GAMIN IN REAL LIFE.
Mot So Noble In Cha-ncter na the IMMqr
WriUn Fletnre Hl*.
“I have read a good many stories, ’’
said the city man, "about the honest
newsboy who chases a man three blocks
to return the $5 goldpieoe given in
mistake for a nickel, the sympathetic
bootblack who protects the widow’s
son, or the heroic street gamin who
get a run over by a dray while rescuing
another boy and murmurs, ‘ls Jimmy
all right?* and then dies. I have oome
to the conclusion that these stories are
written by girls fresh from school or
refined old maids who live in a village,
and they are read by men who thought
fully stick the tongue into the cheek
while reading. Yet there are men who
read and believe.
"I saw one of this class the other day
who went to the rescue of a bootblack
who was trying to fix his broken box.
“ ‘My lad,* said the good man—they
always call them ‘lads’ in these stories
—‘you are in trouble. Let me assist
you.’
"Then he knelt on the sidewalk in
his good clothes, used a half brick for
a hammer, raked up some twine from
his pocket and after 15 minutes’ bard
work made a creditable job. Mean
while about 80 street boys gathered
around. One slipped a piece of old iron
into his pocket, the grateful bootblack
with a bit of chalk decorated his back
with a hideous caricature, his hat was
knocked into the gutter as he arose,
OBd one of the boys accused him of
stealfag a ‘dabber. *
"The man flushed with natural in
dignation, and immediately there arose
a whoop of derision, and as be strode
away he was guyed by the whole crowd
for two blocks. While in this frame of
mind it would have done him good to
have interviewed some of the ladies
who write the picturesque tales about
the imaginary street boys."—Chicago

PANBESA’S LETTER.
An Account of an Egyptian City Thirty
Centuries Ago.
Probably the oldest letter in the
world is the letter of Panbesa, written
15 centuries before Christ to his friend
Amenemapt, a scribe.
The manuscript is of perishable papy
rus, and it is amazing that it should
have survived for more than 30 cen
turies and still be legible.
It is preserved in the collection of the
British museum. It has been several
times translated during the present cen
tury. It presents an interesting picture
of life in Egypt in the time of Rameees
11. It is more in the nature of a literary
production, a poem composed in cele
bration of the visit of Pharaoh to the
city of Pa-Rameses, than an ordinary
letter of today.
Panbesa “greets his lord, the scribe
Amenemapt, to whom be life, health
and strength, ’ ’ and then goes on to de
sori be the verdant fields, the thrashing
floors, the vineyards, the groves of
olives, the orchards of figs, the great
daily markets, with their fish and wa
terfowl and swarms of purchasers.
The citizens had their “sweet wine
of Khemi, pomegranate wine and wine
from the vineyards,” and to these they
added "beer of Kati.”
There was music in plenty furnished
by the singers of the school of Memphis.
On the whole, Pa-Rameses seems to
have been a pleasant place to live in.
“The lesser folk are there equal with
the great folk,” and Panbesa writes
that its maidens were "in holiday at
tire every day” with locks “redolent
of perfumed oil. ’’—Washington Star.
A Method In Hl» Manner.
It was raining cats and dogs outside;
and the Columbus avenue car was
crowded. A young woman stood looking
from one seated man to another, but the
men would not budge. She looked tim
idly, then appealingly, then daggers,
but they did not care.
Finally the worst dressed and rough
est looking man in the car got up.
“Here is a seat for you, mum,” he
said suavely.
“Oh, thank you ever so much, ” said
the young lady, shooting glances at the
other men which said, “You are gentle
men, but this uneducated laborer could
give you a lesson in manners.”
Presently she was shifting about on
her seat, shielding now her face, nciw
her white stand up collar and looking,
with a troubled face, at a point in the
ceiling from which the water came
down at irregular intervals in splashes

Gooseberries «a Trees.
TraveJers in Burma see many strange
things, and perhaps oneof the strangest
is the way in which some kinds of fruit
grow.
For instance, gooseberries that at
home grow on small bushes in this part
of the world grow on trees over 25 feet
high. They are not a soft, pulpy fruit,
bnt are as hard ak marbles.
The Ml Burman gtapes also grow
on high trees and not on vines. They
bang from the branches and trunk of
the tree in clusters on a long stalk and
are covered with a thick outer skin,
which cannot be eaten.
The cachou, of monkey nht, is also
peculiar and consists of a large, juicy
fruit of soft pulp, with its nut or kernel
attached to the outside of the fruit at
the end farthest from the stalk from
which it hangs.—London Standard.

AN EFFECTIVE PARABLE.

Lives at the fasseaaa Hal Sera.
A most interesting account of the
mannbr in which the lives of Jameson
and his men were spared; after the sur
render to the Boers, ia told by the
Nienws Van den Dag of Amsterdam:
The stern old Boers, when they had
Jameson and his fellow officers in their
hands, determined to execute the lead
ers of the band at daybreak. The meet
ing took plaoe in President Kruger’s
house, 20 being present, of whom the
great majority, wild with indignation
at the sudden inroad into their terri
tory, were for shooting the British offi
cers at once. <
President Kruger opposed this sum
mary plan and used all his eloquence
and all his influence on behalf of the
prisoners. For a long time his efforts
were vain. It was 4 o’clock in the
morning, and the president’s opponents
were still for execution. The lives of
the foreigners hung by a thread.
At length General Joubert, one of the
few who agreed with tjie president, had
recourse to the old time Boer method of
Convincing his hearers. He made use of
a parable.
“Friends,’* he said, “will you not
listen to my voice onoe more? Suppose
that close to my farm lives a bad neigh
bor who keeps fierce hounds in his
house, worrying my sheep exceedingly
and also killing some. What, then,
would you have me to do? Should I kill
the hounds to be free of this worry?
Truly my neighbor would say unto me:
‘Thou hast killed my hounds, yet their
value is greater than the value of your
sheep. Pay thou me I* Is it not better
that I should take the hounds and go
ing into my neighbor’s house say,
‘These are thine; now pay me for the
harm they have done my flock?’ ”
There was silence, and the general
sontinued: “ We have caught the pack.
Is it not better to send them to the
British government with demands for
reparation, lest the British send more
hounds to worry us anew?”
The old form of argument proved
successful. The wisdom of moderation
became apparent, and the council of
war accepted the advice of their chiefs.
SERVANTS' EXCUSES.
One Woman Who Wan Clever Enough
to Circumvent Them.
We have heard the story of the Cana
dian mistress who, with seven servants
in her house, was obliged to go to the
garden and pick berries for the table.
Each of the servants declined the task
with the stereotyped excuse, “It ain't
my place to pick berries. ” Ord, in his
"History of Cleveland,” relates an an
ecdote of Margaret Wharton, who,
while accepting her servants’ excuse,
yet made them do her will .
In one of her visits to Scarborough
Mrs. Wharton, with her usual economy,
had a family pie for dinner, whicn she
directed the footman to convey to the
bakehouse. This the man declined to
do as not belonging to hie place, or
rather, as derogatory to his oonse
quence. The lady then moved the ques
tion to the coachman, but found a still
stronger objection.
To save the pride of both Mrs.
Wharton resolved to take the pie to the
shop herself. She ordered one man to
harness and bring out the horses and
the other to mount and ride behind, and
thus the errand was done with all honor
and ceremony. Then in due time the
coachman was ordered to put to a sec
ond time and the footman to mount be
hind, and Mrs. Wharton brought back
the pie in the same dignified state.
"Now,” said the lady to the ooaoh
man, "you have kept your place, which
is to drive, and you yours, ’ ’ to the foot
man, "which is to wait, and I mine,
which is to have my pie for dinner.”
Continuous Steel Pipe.
The West Australian government has
taken a contract to lay nearly 850 miles
of water pipe of a novel character. This
pipe is to be made of steel spirals pack
ed in concrete. Sheet metal is cut into
strips of the required width. These are
fed into a machine and welded into one
continuous strip. As the strip is fed in
to the machine rivet holes are punched;
then the edges of the laps are brought
'together by machinery and held during
the process of riveting, which is all
done by compression. The lap is thrown
on the outside of the pipe, rendering the
inner surface sooth and even throughout
its length. A tenacious hydraulic ce
ment is packed around the laps, making
the pipe absolutely water tight—New
York Ledger.
She Loves Birds.
The dowager empress of China is de
voted to birds of all kinds, and innu
merable bird pets are kept about the
palace. She is reported to have wept
copiously about the death of a favorite
nightingale not along aga Upon being
told of a Chinese girl who had oom
plained bitterly of the dreariness of life
this exalted lady remarked sagely that
a woman ought to take so much pride
In her home that it could be a heaven
to her, adding, "There are always birds
and flowers. ” She is a clever artist and
delights in painting from nature.
