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.— San Frond boo Argonaut. , 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.

Holmes, “Autocrat of the Break- fast Table." 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. Bound to 8avo Him. 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 panion. t Valued Belles.

Every garment guaranteed, BURDEN, SMITHS 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.— Florence O’Drlsooll, M. P., In Century. SIZE OF A THUNDERBOLT. Geologists Have a System by Which Such Measures Are Taken. “Did you ever seo tha diameter of a lightning flash measured?'’ askod a geolo gist, “Well, boro is the case which onco Inclosed a flash of Ughtulng, fitted It ex actly, so that you can see how big It was. This Is called a ‘fulgarlto, ’ or ‘lightning 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- ptocott's.

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. —Philadelphia Times.- Longevity on the Increase.
