OS A CHOLERA SHIP. Plague, Manlty and Heroism on the High Seas. From Chambers’ Journal. Now came a most trying time. Not a breath of wind ruffled the surface of the water; the ship rolled gently on the oily swell, with all her sails—even to the roy als—set, to catch the slightest stir. The deaths continued with alarming rapidity, and then, as Lampsey had said, there was actually nothing wherewith to weight the corpses. The steward, Ross, the Scotch sailor lad, and one or two of our own private native servants—under the stimulus of reward paid down on the nail ae so much a head—their mouths and noses muffled in carbolic saturated tow els, constituted the burial party. These men. penetrating 'tween decks, drugged the corpses up the hatchway, across the deck and pushed them through the gang way doors, just as they were, for there was little time and less inclination to sew them up In canvas, as had been done at the outset. Being unweighted, the bodies refused to sink; the sharks, moreover, did not appear to fancy them, and, being impelled by the same current, they kept by the ship's side, bobbing up and down, rolling over, now on their backs, now face up, in the most horribly grewsome fashion. We In the cuddy were fast be coming demoralized as well; then the wretched Punjabs crowded at the doors and appealed to us in piteous strains, invoking Allah to grant us a wind, and imploring us to pray to God with the same object. What could we do? We told them that we should hail the first steamer and get her to tow us Into a wind which would not only fill our sails, but blow the cholera out of the ship. In the meantime, we exhorted them to be patient and obey the doctor In all things. Several steamers passed, going in the same direction, but too far off to com municate. At last on the tenth day of the calm, we sighted a two-funnel steam er hull down In our wake. She came on slowly, and as she drew abreast of us about a mile away we hoisted our dls tres signal and anxiously awaited the re sult. In a few minutes she replied, whereupon we displayed a whole lino of bunting: on reading which she altered her course and ranged up to within speak ing distance. "Steamer ahoy!! shouted our skipper through his trumpet. "What steamer’s that?" "West Indian!" bellowed a Voice from the other's bridge; "Jeddah to Bombay. What ship’s that?” "Zenebia; Annesley Bay to Bombay." •‘What's the matter?" “Cholera! Will you tow us through the 6trat:s?” ‘ Sorry we can't. Port engine broken down; much as we can do to gel along ourselves. Can we help you otherwise? Have you a doctor?” “Yes." "Want medicines?" “No, thanks; have lota. Goodby." “Goodby!” In another minute she put up her helm and resumrd her course. "There's no 'elp for’t hut to wait for the next," said the skipper. True, there was no help for it, so we put on the best face possible and call ed on cur fortitude and pail nee to aid us. Presently the ctew again came oft, this time on their own intiaiive, their demean or more truculent than before. Whether the disappointmt nt had irritated 'them, or whether, owing to the existing dislocat' and state of affair-, they had managed to gain a?ces e to the spirit rcom, I do not know, blit their bearing now was mutinous. "Capt. Hutchinson!" called Lampsey roughly frem the main deck. "Well?" replied the skjpper. going to the rail, whither we all followed him. "We ain't a-goin' to stand this here no furrer—we ain't!" "Ain * yer? Suppose you think as that there steamboat with 'arf a lung could 'a' towed a twelve hundred ship—do ver?" "What we thinks or doesn't think ain't neither here nor there, but I tell yer what, this ship's a coftirt—she is. and we ain't a-goin' to stop in her—we ain't! Jest yer come along to the fo’castle and take a whiff o’ the stink as comes through the cracks in the bulkheads, and tin n say if Christian sailormen can stand it any lcnger!" “'Ave patience, can't yer? Another steamboat'll be along presently, and we'll stop - er.” "We calkilale as we've drifted pretty considerable out o' the course, and ne'er a craft'll be a'comin’ this way, so we've made up our minds what ter do. and hove come to give yer ail a chanst in wld us." "Well, out with it! what 'ave yer made lip yer minds to do?" "Take to the boats, and leave the tub and the niggers to their'selves." "Yes?" "They'll all be dead afore a week, so will us if we stop here. The ship is s.tr ♦ln to be picked up by some darned sal vager.” "Well, all I 'ave to say is.” replied the captain, leaning over the rail and speik- Ing impressively, "that the first as touches lift or tackle I'll put a bulltt through 'lm as sure as God made little apples!" “I guess more nor one can play at tha: game!” exclaimed Lampsey. shaking his fist at the captain. “Come on, males!" h" added to his fellows, and the whole crowd made oft to the forecastle. A storm was brewing, and we unanimously ranged our selves on the side of law and order. I and the other passengers fished out our revolvers, loaded them, and stuck them In our belts; the skipper similarly nrmed himself and the officers, and several of us descending the poop ladder cast loose the two small brass guns which the ship carried, and trundled them into the cud dy. Bob, Corsy. the steward and the lad Roes all came aft. while the crew gather ed in clusters on the forecastle head, ap peared to be deep dn consultation. Thus there ensued a lull. We were tit 'he cud dy, talking over the slate of affairs. Ho-s at the wheel, and O'Kelly, the chl?f mate, on deck looking out for steamers. The poor plague-stricken Punjabis frequently came to the dor and asked if there were any signs of a wind, for they had evi dently become Imbued with the truth of what we had told them earlier In the day —that a breeze In all probability would rid them of the scourge. The atmosphere was dense and hot, without the slightest breath of air, and we sat anxious and watchful, expecting at any moment to come to open loggerheads with the crew. "Below there!” suddenly called O'Kelly through the skylight. " 'Ullo!" responded the skipper. "Sure, sir, It look black and threaten ing to the west; it's a breezFof wind, I'm thinking." At the welcome words we all followed the Captain, and rushed on deck. The mate pointed to the west, and, true enough, the horizon in that direction pre sented a dark brown aspect. There was something In the air, too—in the oppres sive stillness—that presaged an atmos pheric disturbance of some sort, and we eagerly waited to hear the Captain's opin ion. "A sand squall, by thunder!" ex claimed he. “ 'Twill be down on us In no time! All hands take In sail!” he roared, In the direction of the forecastle. "Be smart, lads; 'Ms one o' them con founded tornadoes." "Stow yer slack as well as yer sails yerselves!” retorted Lampsey, with his hand to his mouth. “We ain't a-goin' to budge!" I don't know what may have passed through the Captain's mind at this terri ble Juncture, for every sail was set, and a squall fast bearing down on his ship—a full-rigged ship fitted with the more cum bersome and old-fashioned tackle of that INDIGESTION.

I know not what he ; contemplated, I say; but at that moment ; an unwonted commotion wos observable among the hitherto apathetic Punjabis. They ,too, had noticed the change in the ’ sky’s asi>ect, and, following our glances, I had heard the short altercation between • poop and forecastle, had seen the threat- : ening gestures of the disputants, and, without understanding what was being said, guessed its purport. Then scores of them, suddenly shaking off their lethar gy, and ignorant of marine etiquette, swarmed up the poop ladders and asked wha was the matter. Was a breeze coming at last? If so, why did not the sailors do what had been ordered? They j knew enough to tell them that the can- j vas ought to be taken in. Devine and I, | who were the only men on board con- j “versant with Punjab Hindustandi, hastily explained the situation, the advancing storm, the consequent danger to the ship, clothed ns she was to the mastheads, and the refusal of the orew to do their duty. The Mahometan mule drivers at once realized the situation. “Wo will make them!” they shouted, their blood now thoroughly up. “God has sent the wind to drive away the cholera, and shall we go to another death because your men are untrue to their salt? No! we will aid j you! You are our protectors! After Al- j la, we look to you, and will stand by you! On, then, in the name of God! We will I force these sons of defiled mothers to do I their duty!” Before we could stay them, some 200 ! Punjabis rushed along the main deck and j mounted the forecastle. The crew was ' ready to receive them. There ensued a fierce fight; knives were freely used j against the now r infuriated natives, who j were, however, entirely unarmed, their cutlasses being in chests below decks. | Shrieks and groans assailed our ears, and 1 we were about charging forward, revolvers ! in hand, to quell the disturbance, when, numbers having gained the day, we saw ! the sailors driven along with kicks and cuffs by the victorious Punjabis; we saw them ascend the ratlins followed by the swarms of mule drivers, who threatened by gestures to throw them into the sea if they did not immediately furl sail. The seamen, not daring to disobey, worked in 1 fear of their lives, and in a few minutes he Zenobin floated along under bare pole. With a low rumble the squall came on. Sand was in the air; it invaded our eyes, nostrils and mouths; the hurricane struck the ship with terrific force and swept on, leaving us well nigh on our beam ends, but safe! . The gust proving to be a precursor of a stiff but favorable breeze, sail was speed ily made on the ship, and in due course we bowled along toward our destination, thankful for our deliverance from a com bination of perils that once seemed to threaierw us with annihilation. Only two deathS occurred after that ter hible day. Next morning the crow ex pressed contrition for their behavior; the Punjabis, now' full of renewed spirits, came aft in a body and interceded for their late antagonists; ci ts and bruises were f:r golten, and both parties shook bands in token of amity and absence of ill will. The skipper, nothing loath, accorded his forgiveness, ordered extra grog to lx- serv ed. and so. without further adventure or misadventure, we arrived safely in Bom bay harbor on the twenty-eighth day af ter weighing anchor oK the Ayyssian coast. ”HOW PHRASES ORIGINATED. ** ( unions Expressions ThaV Have Be come Household W ords. St. Ix)uis Republic. “I enn't see it.** is traced to Lord Nel son, who, at the battle of Copenhagen, was told that a signal was given to cease firing, and the direction pointed out to him. .Seizing a telescope he applied it to his blind eye and exclaimed; “I can't see It.” “Haulirjg over the coals” dates six or seven centuries back when feudal barons often used harsh methods of extracting gold from the rich Jews by suspending their victims above slow fires until they paid ransom or died. There was a scene of this sort in “Ivanhoe,” in which the Front de Boeuf endeavors to extort money from Isaac of York, father of Rebecca. The term “blue stocking” w'ns original ly used in Venice about the year 1400, to designate literary classed by colors. In . Mill’s “History of Chivalry” we are told (hat members of various academies were distinguished by the color of their stock ings. blue being the prevailing color. The application of the term to women origi nated with Miss Hannah More’s admira ble description of a “Blue Stocking Club” in her “Has Bleu.” “Corporations have no souls,” is a much older expression than most people imag ine. It originated with Sir Edward Coke in the sixteenth century, was considered one of the best legal writers of tha age. He says in one of his treaties: “Cor porations cannot commit trespass, nor be outlawed nor excommunicated, for they have no souls.” The phrase “I acknowledge the corn," originated with a slave. He was charged with stealing corn found in his posses sion. Having a sack with him he was al so charged wit hr stealing that. His re ply was: “No, sar; 1 ’knowledge de com. but I ain’t gwine to ’knowledge de sack.” "Any color so It’p red” originated among a class of choracters called Jackeys in the local drama. One of them being on a committee appointed to procure anew fire engine, was asked what color the com pany desired the apparatus painted. ll© replied: "Why, any color so it’s red.” “Drowning the miller’’ originated from •he following fact: If the rrflll stream be low the mill is damned or stopped, the water is pounded bndk, and the mill be comes what the millers call "tailed.” If there Is too much water the mlil will not work, and the miller Is said to be "drown ed out.” Hence, when too much of any one article Is put into a mixture It is called “drowning the miller.” “Better late than never” was used over ?,Oo years ago by Thomas Tucker in his “Five Hundred Points of Good Husban dry,” laater on Bunyan used it in his “Pilgrim’s Progress.” Not a few of the phrases in use at this day originated with Lyly, and are found in hi© "Euphues,” a |*opular book publish ed In 1850. Among them might be mention ed ‘Vaught napping.” "a crooked stick or none.” “brown study,” “catching birds by putting ©alt on their tails." etc. When people do not particular!/ like each other it is sometimes said “there is no love lost between them.” The phrase occurs in the old ballad. “The Babes In the Woods,” and in a talc of the days of Shakespeare, entitled “Montchensey.” —Sunny Slope—“>So you mix In de reg’lar army for three years?

THRIFT IN PENNY BANK. ...———_ * MECHANICAL TOYS THAT ENCOUR AGE THE HABIT OF SAVING. Joy* of Hoarding Coin—A Brooklyn Family's Device* for Getting? and Keeping: All Accessible Change. From the New York Times. The family without a savings bank is to be pitied. The savings bank Is the pre server of good manners and morals, and above all things, it is the preserver of much money. The child who has not been brought up with the good old-fashioned savings bank habit has lost half the pleasure of childhood. There is a worthy Brooklyn family which would say that the child who did not grow up with tlie savings bank habit had lost much of the pleasure of grown-up life also. The Brooklyn famify has had the sav ings bank habit inculcated root and branch, and now there is not a member who has not a bank. There is a family bank and there is ever a bank to which friends of the family contribute and have the pleasure of enjoying the spoils. The family habit has become so much a char acteristic that it is contagious, and any one who visits the family frequently is sure to contract it. To begin th© habit does not require capital. Sometimes when an attempt is made to inoculate some unsusceptible person there is a required outlay of $1 or $1.50 for an irresistible bank, a Wil liam Tell shooting the apple from his son’s head, a coin of some kind taking the place of the apple, or an Indian shooting a boar, or a nice little girl and a speak ing dog, to make the saving habit a game which will cajole the possessor of coins that should be saved until the practice is fixed. But this is not often necessary, and in selecting saving banks the great thing is to get something that cannot be opened. The great impetus to forming the habit is the thought of the dollars that will he revealed when the bank is opened. It is hard until the habit Is fixed to wait until the proper time, and, as said before, it is necessary to have a bank that cannot be opened easily. In the Brooklyn family there are two banks which are nothing more or less than plebeian tomato cans, which, having served their purpose in the culinary de partment, have found their way to the upper regions of the house and take all the spare change of he two pretty'daugh ters of the family. The tomato cans have a distinct advantage over regul r banks. In the first place, they are commodious, in the second they do not reveal the’r contents; it is r.ol possible to look through tempting crev?ces and see the store con tained within, and -there is not as great a temp'ation to open them Then they cannot be opened without breaking, there is no gentle way of taking out half the contents and leaving the rest inside. To take out half is “no fair” in*the banking game. The money must be left until the specified time, or until the hank If full. The tomato cans are left, and when they are opened there is always a gener ous sum within, which Is used for rome special purpose. T ien there is a kind friend who solders up the can again, and they are ready to Begin anew series Servants I,©urn to Save. The servants of this family, which is patriarchal in its domestic relat'ons. ave usually inculcated with the saving habit by means of the realistic banks. One maid, for instance, was presented with a myste rious affair, a colored man in gorgeous at tire. into whose mouth the coin to be eav ed was placed, a button was p.resscd. the darky turned a lively somersault, and th* penny was in the bank safely out of the way. That inoculation “took” imme diately. The maid became so devoted to the saving habit that she could hardly keep enough money out of her bank to give her necessary' wearing apparel, and as soon as the bank was filled and emptied for the first time she presented it as a means of inoculation to a young nephew an<l took a plainer one herself. The sav ing habit once started become© an endless chain. The two most interesting banks of the Brooklyn family are the general family and visitors' hanks. The family is one noted for its domestic virtues, and cne of its daily amusements is the game of “Scot.” which is played regular every night when the members are alone. There is. of course, one winner and two loses, and the two losers put into the family hank 5 cents each. The bank is kept in tact for five or six pionths, or until there is a need felt for some household article There is a Tamily vote to take the tnony from the trank and purchase It, and it Is done. The bank has just been opened, and the result guests at dinner may no tice in a first-class carving knife and fork. That was the purchase made fr m the family Scot money bank. The vis itors' bank is also a Scot bank. There is one family friend, a young man. who goes all the way from New York once of twice a week to visit the Brook lyn family, and there is always a game of Scot, at which he is a player. But this is a more ambitious game than the do mestic affair, and the two losers put each night 25 cents into the bank, and at the end of the several months, when the bank is opened, there is a very likely sum con tained in it, some *ll or *l2. which is equal ly divided among the players, who are always the same, nnd every one has a wonderful feeling of having won a large sum of money. The games are fairly even, so that If any one has actually lost during the course of the play it is but lit tle and the money coming in always seems so much clear gain. The young man's share amounts to enough to have paid his car fare In his visits to the Brooklyn family, and he feels that he is so much In, which Is probably actually the case. The saving habit is one which attempts are marie to inculcate in the children In mot families. It occasionally becomes permanent or is carried on for some time, but In more cases the germs take only slight root and the action is spasmodic. But the attempt is mode so frequently that the number of banks which have been made are legion. They range from the fruit banks, oranges or apples, which must be broken to get the money, through a long line of iron and nickel hanks up to he fancy ones which represent various realistic scenes from llfe-the Inoculating machines. Hanks That Tempt Deposits. 'Perhaps the greater number of hanks of one kind are those that represent small safes. They range from tiny little affairs which cost 5 cents to banks large enough to hold a good sum of money, finished in nickel, that cost f>o cents. A little green and black bank which looks os if it might have stepped out of some miniature old lime office, costs 10 cents. A fine-looking nickel-plated Saratoga trunk costs 75 cents, but that Is a registering bank, one of the most expensive of the plainer kinds. It will take only fen-cent pieces, and registers every dime put lr>, and opens automatically when a certain sum is reached, *5 or *lO. according to the size of the trunk A big niclecl-plated barrel and o fine-looking state bank open with a nut. They are tightly closed until this nut Is put on. when the handle turns easi ly. But this is not a popular bank. Its contents con be obtained too easily. Rem intaccncei of the Columbian ICxposlllon are still to be seen In savings hanks, end there is a fine handsome administra tion building which costs only 25 cents. It has a combination lock, as hove money of the others. State banks are to be found In many designs, and little fancy houses painted In bright colors ore popular. Some of them oi*en with keys, but that Is always a bad feature. The fancy banks ore a delight to children, and give quite as much pleas ure to the children's parents. Of all the fancy banks, the most popular in these days of war nnd rumors of war is the ine in which the money Is put into a natural-looking mortar, which Is first ret. a button I* preased, n- strong spring Is put Into operation, a soldier standing be side the mortar moves hla arm. nnd the coin Is thrtwsi up some distance with ugdksldcrabU force and toeafd Into an opening in what may be a stone pillar or some kind of military defense, accord ing to the knowledge or imagination of the beholder. Mechanical Aid* for Saving. A very wild red Indian shooting a bear is another hank. The gun is cocked, a spring is pressed, and the coin, which is p’aced on ihe end of the gun, and sappears somewhere into *he bear's interior, while he opens hi* mouth with a show of dis p'easure. William Tell, in much the same manner, shoots a coin above his son’s head into an old castle when his wea pon is set and his foot is pressed. A don k:y kicks over an unsuspecting little ne gro boy and ©ends the money into the bank at the same time. Avery nice little girl, sitting on a bench before a big dog. holding what appears to he a hand mir ror in her hand, after the coin has been placed upon the mirror, drops the. coin into an opening which appears in the bench upon which ©he is sitting when a spr i g is pressed, while the dog opens h!s mouth. This is the “speaking dog” hank. They are all valuable, as inculcating the saving habit. One of the largest savings bank stories comes frem another Brooklyn family. This family had only on© bank, and his tory does not relate what kind of bank it was, but the family for a long time had been putting into It alllheir 10-cent pic cs. When finally it was opened there was money enough in it to buy th© woman of the fami y a really handsome lace dress. That is vouched lor as an absolutely true story. There is sometimes an excess of the saving habit. It becomes almost danger ous to have a hank into w hich only ten cent pieces, for ins ance, can go. Cases are related where the possessor of the dime hank developed a real mania for dimes. There was a gloating satisfaction in gftting a dime which wa=* equaled by nothing but the misers love of money. Every cent which could be possibly spared was turned into dimes, and after a while the owner of the hank became dime poor. All her money was in dimes, and all the and mes were in the bank, where she could not, on piinclple, g* t them. Thin there was a reaction, and the saving habit waa lost. There are some people who cannot be come inoculated with the saving habit, or. having once had a severe case, become immune©, as in the case of the woman who became dime poor. “1 ran save my money now," she soys smely. “Even at( ma;o can w ould not k' ep my mon* y if I was within walk ing distance of a shop where I could buy a can opener.” STRONG BY WILL POWER. Many of England*© Heroes Were Dellentc Onee. From the London Express. The soldier Is so often looked upon as be ng th* cmiofim nt of strength health and activity that it may be something rew to learn thaj many celebrated Gen err Is have as boys been anything but ro bust or noted for the virtues just m< n tionf and. Lord Roberts is the most signal exam ple of this. Asa lad he was so delicate that when he went out to India, on his first voyage the:e .is : soldier, it was generally suppos rl by his most Intimate friends and relative© that his life would necessarily b® short, so pale and delicate was he. We have several independent ac counts of how the crew and some of his messmates pitied the tender-looking young Anglo-Indian and prophesied that an early grave would ho hi-! But the Indian climate, his native cli mate. too, set him up, and worked won ders in him. How ha\e those prophets of evil !>► en falsified hv what we in our time see and know to-day! Trie Duke of Wellington was not at al> sirong when a lad. and his mother was often much concerned about his health. At Eton he got the reputation of being lather a silent, taciturn, somewhat sul len youth. But It is generally believed now iha* this \va a= much due to 1i < and lieate health as to any individual char acteristics of his own temperament. Arthur Wellesley could not stand the knocking atom a'd rough-and-tumble life that some tf his Eton friends enjoyed at that time, and they were not slow to make him aware of the fact. Mr. Rodceford Maguire, whose recenf adventures in Kimberley an J h°lp t) the garrison have made his name more known than even before ihe siege, was almost “given up” wlnn a boy, so poor was his general health. Hia destined career had to be changed for no ether r a-m than that his health would not stand it. and lie had to go our to the Cape in o.der to seek that h aith which seemed to he denied him In Eng land. Happily, he found it tier- and found fortune, too, at the same rime; so ie. at any rate, cannot row rr.o in his fate. Maguire found at the Car©' a m m still more influential than he h:m*e!f was to become, a man who also had bad to leave England, and the prospect of being a clergyman, owing to his w ak stare of health. This man had rne hen intend ed for a parson, like his father, and woul 1 have perhaps ended his days a a coun try vicar had not bad health stepped in and made him give up that idea and set out for Cape Colony. Then his health !e --came renewed, and to-day the whole word 1 know© Cecil Rhodes almost as well as it knows anybody. Rhodes may well be called a “soldier” a© regard© fighting, for. though not a mil itary man by profession, he was alw tv© willing to take any share of fight'ng tint came along his way, and hi- advice o doubtful Britons during Ihe late crisis io Kimberley, to "bo like me and sit tight” will not be readily forgotton. Tt was sti 1 that Kruger had such an opinion of Cecil Rhodes’s fighting powers that Ik* pro posed to put him Into a cake when Kim berley was taken, but it may be aLo ©aid that Rhodes would have shown th© Boers no small amount of resistance first be fore he had thus allowed himself lo he taken, for he is by instinct a fighting man to the very bone. Havelock was never very strong, and r© a boy was decidedly on the dark side of health. Even when a man, his pile face was a general subject for remark among his follower©. But they all knew’ his worth and courage when the time of trial came. Perhaps no civilian in this century wos more a born fighter than was Ix>rd Byron had he been able to become a real sol dier, but he was kept back from that by hi© deformity and by constant bad health. Yet he went forth manfully to help the Greeks in their struggle© for indep - dene® against the Turks, and perished at Missd onghl. The present Kaiser has never be*-n a ro bust man. and a© a lad was ©till more del icate. His deformed arm always gave him much trouble In affecting his g*heral health, espeelaly his younger years. But he has. by hi© splendid resolution and care, grown out of this constant bad health, and to-day he is a fighting man with whom all Europe ha© to reckon—a man not easily to be beaten in what he undertakes. So that there i much hope for delicate boys after all, if they have the rlgb sort of British pluck in them. Health and strength are largely a mat ter of will |>ower. after all. —-Early Amtdlion—"O! mah goodness!” exclaimed little Abe Lincoln Snow. “I wisht I wuz la k de little hoy In dll hyar s*ory-book.” “Whuffer?” asked his moth er ; ‘Kas a hit sez he went to lied wlf de chickins.”— Philadelphia ITess.
