DID NOT WIND HIS CHRONOMETER.
An Xn*t*a<» In Which ForgeIfnlneM <*»▼•
» Man Promotion.
One of tho most distinguished naviga
tors In the United States navy was en-
gaged some years ago as navigator on
one of the old fashioned sailing ship* of
the i.avy, Olid aa K was his Amt biliet he
was very desirous of making a good im
pression* For the Urst few daya he took
hie reckonings with the greatest care, but
whon tho ship had been out several daya
be forgot to wind hie chronometer, which
kept Washington time. It was Impossible
to mako any calculations on the ship's po
sltlon. He did not dare tell the command
er of his xnlshnp, nnd so he continued to
take the latltudo of the sun every day In
the most serious manner and reported tho
ship’s position by dead reckoning, a very
uncertain operation.
Early one morning, when he thought
they must be nenr Barbados, their first
destination, he called a young sailor to
him and said: "My roan, I want you to go
to the masthead and look out for land, and
when you sight It do not call out ‘Lund, hoi'
In tho ueunl manner, but come down
quietly and tell me about it. ” Tho sailor
ran aloft, and when ab about seven bells,
or half past )1 o'clock, he saw a thin blue
streak to the south'ard he ran down from
aloft ami reported it to the navigator.
"Go aloft nnd report land In the usual
manner at eight bells, "said the naviga
tor. Hardly had the sailor reached his
perch when the captain came on deck, and
walking to the navigator said:
"About what time shall wo sight Bar
bados, sir?"
*‘At precisely eight bells, sir," was tho
answer.
“What," cried tho captain, "do yon pre
tend to bo able to figure to the minute tho
time wo will tlaht landf Why, I never
saw a navigator who could figure within
two hours, and X have soen same good
«*••••' *
At that moment tho bell struck eight
times, and the cry of "X*and, hoi" rang
out from tho masthead. Thu captain took
tho UAvlgator’H hand and said, "You, sir,
are tho finest navigator afloat, and I shall
report your splendid work to the depart
ment." Thu captain kept his word. Ho
wrote to the navy department about the
ton '-Hunt work of hk navigator, which was
tho direct cause of his rapid promotion.—

Ostrlehee Tor Dinner* . -1 „ ^ •
When tho author of "Meeting tho Sun"
was at Brindisi, he was waited upon afc
the inn by a boy whoso faco, an he says,
was "bo constructed that when he openod
Ida mouth to sp^nk or laugh tho operution
abut up hla eyes." This boyrejoioed in
tha name ot Ulysso and proved to bo very
attentive.*
When I called him Ulysses of Ithaca, ho
understood tho allurlen. ill* mouth
opened with a grin, and ot courso his eyes
disappeared.
"Well, Ulysses of Ithaca, what Is there
for dinner today?"
Again the samo facial expression ap-
poarfd, und my Astonishment may bo
guessed when ho answered, "Ostriches,
air."
It was not a Joint of ofltTlch nor even n
single bird. He persisted In the plural,
number. Even the mau who said th^ a’
gooiM was too much for ono person and
not enough for two might have been ap
palled at the prospect of a flock of ostriches
for dinner. Tho heel ot Italy's foot la nob
very fnr from Africa, and it was possible
that ostrich was Indeed one of tho rare
dishes of thl« southern cllrae. Specula
tions of this sort went through my mind,
but dinner Iteelf at Inst solved the mys
tery. Ulysses of Ithaca oame In, his mouth
open and hla eyes oloaed, bearing a plato
of oysters. Aa my Inability to understand
him had assumed tho appearonco of doubt,
thoru was an ajr of triumph aa ho placed
the plato on the table and auuounced that
tlieae were tho "ostriches." Tho Italian
word for oysters Is oatrlca, and Ulyaae
thought that ho waa pronouncing tho Eng
lish word to me.
A Dangerous Experiment.
A curious Incident happened to the late
Walter B. Woodbury, says The Photo*
graphic Time*. When engaged lo the per
fection ot the photofillgrane process, which
consists In rolling a sheet of papor together
with a gelatin relief through a press and
cbtainlng'In this way an linage on the pa
per, he, merely tor an experiment, parsed
a Bank ot England note, together with a
sheet of paper, through the press. To hla
astonish ment, ho founds perfect facsimile
of the water mark of the nota.
Tho water mark being a strong point in
tha safely from counterfeiting of theee
notes, he communicated With the bank offi
cials, Imagining that they would natural
ly bo much interested In knowing this
method of Imitation and better able to
guard themselves agnlnst It. To his sur
prise, ho was next day visited by several
men In aunpany with the poltoo and
learned that he bad rendered himself lia
ble to severe puul*>hm«*ni by this Injudi
cious experiment. It was indeed difficult
to explain everything, satisfactorily and
prevent the visitors from salting tho val
uable rolling press and confiscating it on
the spot.
Fools m4 WIm Men.
If you are dealing with a fool, dictate,
but never argue, for you will lose your la
bor and perhaps your temper, if with a
bigot* *ay nothing, or you will certainly
lose both. Never dispute with tho man
who asaerta a paradox. If he docs not be
lieve It, he te amusing himself with you;
If ho does, the same distortion of mind

hla own sophistries or your aryumecte.—-

THE MODERN YOUNG MAN.
Sow XXn Appears la HU Flaassnt or Un
pleasant Guises.
We havo so often discussed the modem
young woman in her varied and varying
pba**H that It seems right and proper that
we contemplate the modern young man,
for he appears In as many guises, which,
If perhaps nob quite as pleasing to study,
ore at least worth a little tiiqe In being
dissected by tho pen.
To begin with, there Is the heavy crea
ture of putty countenance who wishes to
pose ana litterateur. He writes abstruse ar
ticles that are never published. He haunts
tho aoolety of those who have found a
literary footing, nnd to the circle where
he genuinely belongs he descants of upper
Bohemia and tries to bo as mystifying and
denso ns possible. As a rule, ho succeeds,
end by tho truthful la dabbed tiresome,'
by the syoophantlo learnod.
Thou there is the bustling young busi
ness man, who la the direct opposite of tho
owllike personage just dcsorlbed. He blus
ters, he boasts, he talks shop, but ho gener
ally succeeds. Time tones him down, bub
In h!s first effusiveness he Is wcarlsorao to
all save his proud parents or an employer
that reoogulzes In the bluster that real
energy that will bring moro money into
hla own pockets.
The cynical creaturo of 24 who sneers at
nil that Is good, tries hard to appear blase
and is in reality not half bad la quite
amusing in his endeavor to impress the
world with his overweening wlokcdnoss.
If he were one-fourth aa bad as he would
have you supposo, there would be no pa
rade of his misdeeds, but a sincere desire to
hldo rather than flaunt his peccadillos. It
Is tho pleasure that ho takes In posing aa
a deep dyed villain that proves more than
all dso that he is not what ho would have
you think.
That distressing type,- the ladylike
young man, need not bo dilated upon at
length. lie is too silly to be taken serious
ly and too serious to bo treated frivolously;
therefore we dismiss him with a sigh that
siioh a typo should exist. But when oil
others have passed in reviow there is ono
that comes under no certain type, la not
classed with any other man that evor
lived, and though ho has many fault* he
is perfect In our eyes, for It ia lovo that
makes us blind to his folbloa and alive to
hla virtues.—Philadelphia Times.
SPLITTING SECONDS.
How Minute Interval* of Time Are Ac-
cnrstely Moaaurcd.
The measurement of minute Intervals
of time is one of tho most dlfflanlt sub
jects met with In the laboratory, and this
is more especially the case aa the appa
ratus employed is often lttete adapted for
the use of those who lack experience in
tho prccUlon gained by years of experi
mental work In physics. A Frenchman
has recontiy devised a photoohronograph
which comprises a metallic disk, turning
freely on an axis pnsslng through its cen
ter. Tho free end of a epiing carries a
needle point, which bears against the disk.
This spring is timed to give 600 vibrations
per second. This rate is determined by
timing the spring so that It vibrates be
tween known vibrations of 493 and 623
periods per second.
Any want of extreme accuracy in the
determination of the intermediate points !•
not of groat importance, as it can be shown
that the difference only affects the fifth
plaoeof decimals of n single seoond. Of
course any variation In speed of the disk
<loos not Influence tho number of vibra
tions ot the spring. By meant of a mag-
noslum light traces of tha path of the
spring are left upon a sensitive plato
mounted upon tho disk. The apparatus la
oertalnly not new in principle, but the ar
rangement is one whloh has not been de
scribed In thiapartioular form.—Philadel
phia Record.

Exceptions prove the rule, and the
wrong conclusion which a dog may reach
from wrong premise* may bo tho best
proof that he possesses reasoning power.
Tho following htory shows plainly that
the dog in the case looked information,
but not the faculty of reasoning
! When the Gloucester lifeboat waa launch
ed in 1867, it waa deemed necessary for
two men to throw themselves into the sea
in order to show the groat utility of cork
jacket* in keeping the upper part of their
bodies above water.
Among tho thousands of spectators who
j were watching the men floating about was
‘ a Newfoundland dog, who beoamo much
| exalted at what he no doubt considered to
■ bo the perilous condition of the men.
j The dog ran hither and thither, barking
• furiously and in hla ^est and most em-
| phatlo canine language trying his very
beet to prevail upon some ono in the large
multitude of human beings to go to the
men’s aselftance.
Finding no one to go, splash Into the
water went the dog and aw am directly to
the men, ooo of whom he caught by the
sleeve, with the Intention of helping him
out of danger.
A struggle ensued. The man tried to
shako the dog off, but It was of no aTall.
The dog would not give up his hold, and
finally two men In a small boat were
obliged to go to tho reacuo.—Youth's Com

There once stood in the stately hall of

CHINESE FISHMONGERS.
Fifth a* Tame as Domestic Animals and
That Lika to Bo Handled*
In Canton tho fishmonger’s is n most
Important trade. Iho Chinaman Is a born
fisherman. He also has for ogee past cul
tivated a system of artificial breeding and
rearing of live lleh for the market. In the
shops were displayed live end dead fish,
fish fresh and salted, smoked and preserv
ed. One variety was like whitebait, in
baskets, graded from tiny things not half
an ineh long to what appeared to bo tho
samo fixh grown to eight or nine Inches in
length. Theee were sold fresh, salted and
smoked. Shark Una are a delicacy. There
wore fleh mottled and boned, bright and
dnll, fish of quaint and (to us) unknown
shapes, but foremost abovo all and every
where to be seen were tho artificially
grown ilvo fish.
A wondeifnl creature was this, always
appearing to suffer'from heat, gasping at
tho surface of .tha water for brqath and re
calling Verdant Green’s fish that were be
ginning to sweat and complain. They
were as tame as domestlo animals, seem
ingly careless of being knocked about,
thrown from ponds Into boats, from boats
into tubs, from tube Into buckets and then
back Into tubs again. They wero used to
being handled and Inspected, and, If disap
proved, pnt back Into the water, to bo sold
allvo If bought whole, or cut to pieces
while living and sold In bleeding chnnks.
A thick, short fish Is this, of tho mullet
shape, averaging about 15 Inches to length
and weighing about three pounds, but
often longer and running up in weight
to as much as four or even five pounds.
When out up, they bleed like pigs, and to
show how frethly they are killed the sales
man Is In the habit of slicing a live one
Into pieces and with the blood smearing
all the pleocs for eolc, so that they look
rooking nnd horrible to European eyes.
To keep them allvo in tho shops thoy are
tdwnys placed in a large tub with a small
er vessel fixed above It. From tho bottom
of the upper vessel a bamboo, with ono or
two sawcuts to It, sticks out, and from
those outs streams of water flow In thin
cascades Into the tub beneath. Every now
and tbon, when the upper vessol becomes
empty, tho fish all rise to the surfaco and
glopl glopl glopl takedown both air and
water. Then on attendant, attracted by
tho noise, plunges a bucket down among
them and from tho water In which they
swim fills the upper vossel full again.—

hole,'and the materiel It is made of is
glass
-When a bolt of lightning strikes a bed
of sand, ltplungee downward Into thoeand
for a distance less or greater, transform
ing simultaneously Into glass the silica in
the material through which It passes.
Thus, by Its great heat, It forms a glass
tube of precisely Its own size.
“Now and then snoh a tube, known as
a’fulgarlto,’ it found and dug up. Ful
gurites have been followed Into tha sand
by excavations for nearly 30 foot. Thoy
vary In Interior diameter from tho size of
a quill to tbreo luebos or more, according
to tho‘boro’of the flash. But fulgarltcs
ore not produced alone to sand. Thoy aro
found also in solid rock, though very nat
urally of alight depth, and frequently cxr
lstlng as a tbln, glassy covering on the
surface.
“Such fulgarltcs occur to astonishing
abundance on tho summit ot Little Ara
rat, In Armenia. Tho rook Is so soft and
porous that blocks a foot long,oan bo ob
tained, perforated In all directions by little
tubes filled with bottle green glass formed
from tho fused rock.
“Somo wonderful fulgurites were found
by Humboldt on tho high Nevada do To
luca, In Mexico. Masses of tho rock wero
oovered with a thin layer of green glues.
Its peculiar shimmer In tho sun led Hum
boldt to ascend the preeipltous peak at the
risk ot his life.’’—Pittsburg Dispatch.
SU Crispin.
A pleasant story Is told of tho Emperor
Charles V. One night ho strolled Into a
cobbler’s shop to get hie boot mended. It
happened to be tho festival of St. Crispin.
Tho cobbler was making merry with hla
frlonds and declared that no work could
be done on that day for nny man, even
though he were Charles himself, but tho
stranger was cordially Invited to Join In
the merrymaking. Be did as he was bid
den. “Here’s to the health of Charles V,”
said the cobbler. “Do you love him?”
asked the emperor. "Love him?” said
the oobbler. “I do. I lovo his long nose-
ship well enough, but I should love him
more If be taxed us less." Thoy finished
8L Crispin’s day very pleasantly.
Upon the taorraw the emperor sent for
tho cobbler to the palace and greatly sar-
prlsed him by thanking him for his hospi
tality of the previous evening, asking him
what reward he would Uko best Tho
amazed cobbler asked tor a night to think
ot It. The next day be appeared before the
emperor and requested that the cobbler*
of Flanders might bear for their coat of
arms a boot with a crown upon it—LIp-

Judge Ragedale tells of a Clarkson youth
who wanted to mai.-y. He was aw:ul!.y
freckled and homely, but he said he asked

Do the Next Thing.
Don't live a single hour of your lifo
without doing exactly what la to be done
lu it and going straight through It from
beginning to end. Work, play, study,
whatever It is, take bold at once and finish
It up squarely. Then do the next thing
without lotting any momenta drop In be
tween. It Is wonderful to see how many
hours these prompt people contrive to
make of a day. It Is as If they picked
up the moments the dawdlers lost. And
If yon ever find yourself where you havo so
many things pressing upon you that yon
hardly know whore to begin, let me tell
you o 60crot: Take hold of tho very one
that comes to hand, and you will find tho
rest will fall into line and follow after
like a company of well drilled soldiers,:
and, though work may be hard to meet
when It charges In a squad, it .is easily
vanquished If you oan bring It Into line.
