Dickson "J ?V. . .TU^IIIlILKUI^n, .IS. ss. READY Sl'KGEKT The sailounum who went down tc the seo in taH masted graceful ships and put a girdle around the world, were fortunate indeed to have an ally in the shape of Providence, sitting ar.oft to keep watch on poor Jack and prevent him from death, danger and disease. Fifty or more years ago, when sailing vessels were carrying the commerce of the world, their voyages, always dependent upon wind and weather, might either be long or short, and those of the crew who met with accidents or became ill, were treated by the captain. Surgeons were to be found only or men-of-war arid in the lager sailing ships carrying passengers. On cargo carriers the sailors fortunately were not weaklings and were accustomed to hard knocks. It is amazing to read the legs of these wind jammers and ascertain just how the captains or mates administerec treatment to those who fell ill or were hurt It has been my privilege to read the log of the American barkentine Cromweli, on a voyage from" New York to Rio de Janiero, Brazil One of the hands before the masl slipped on the deck during a storn and ruptured himself. The captaii was summoned and after looking a ine Bauor ordered mm brought mtx the caWn. This done he examined thrf % patient and made the proper diag nosis. Let me now quote from th log, showing exactly the trcatmen used. "I sent for -the first mate, J (mean six feet four inches high, an hailing from Portland, Maine. W' both tried to push the swelling int the man's abdemen but could not <1 so. The mate then grabbed the ma: Sj by fete ankles and draped fciro hoadown over his back like a sack o meal, and shook him like a terrie does a rat. The man yells, 'I'm a! right now," and he is put down v deck and the swelling is gone. $ ' then took two sketas of woolen yar Sin underlies doubt. 'Hie relbgion of the ' Sunday" Christian is elastic?he can use v any old v.*ay for six days in th \ >ek. To many people, the ha hit of labor is hard to take up. but easy to loose One can usually / |$| to start the wrong -S rood and continue .for one to be slightpresent than to bt Dickson ruined forever. TV) figure on th< worst does not dis-qualify one frorr accepting the best. When there's no sign-board at s fork-road, it is better to inquire the way thar. to risk taking the wrong road. Misfortunes arc sometimes th< rungs by which one tops the iaddei of success. Though it be late, one's sins wi* surely overtake him. It must be embarrassing for a whale to ask quarters from a minnow. "me pedestrian is just as mucl entitled to the highway as is th< tmnn who drives <i Cadillac. Negligence and forgetfuiness nr< twin sisters of misfortune Character is not artificiai: if it exists at Ell it is ingrained in th< individual. The stone ovvr which one stum hies may really become the chariot in -vhich he rides to success. Truth needs no propping, but tin pillars of Hercules are not strong enough to hold up a lie. Some men Know how to main what is called "a living," but haven'l the slightest idea of how to live c life. Man is the only animal in al Christendom that has ever giver Cod one bit of trouble.

Several state education officers commented upon the paper. t They gave the staff much encouragement. The paper has the honor of being ^ ami tied them together making a big knot in the center. This knot I placed over the pjace where the \ swelling was and wrapped the rest ' of the yarn very tight about the k nan's body. It acted as a stopper and the next day the man went to ^ work as usual, but he kept that bandage on until to returned to New . York." Is it any wonder that sailors t in those days needed a special Providence to guard them ? YWVWAV.WMYVWY.Y.VW Specia j $ Dollai j; ! 0 lbs. Coffee, pure F . ;I 4 lbs. Coffee, Chase 6 % ;? 4 lbs.
