T JAKJM BAXXXSV, ' l" ssawsaeaaaw It waa a sultry" day following a heavy gale that had brought up from tne southwest heat, mist and rala. The subsiding winds had left a long even swell rolling In upon the coast, but the surface of each huge sea was smooth and glassy. The good old frigate Wabash rose and fell lazily at her anchor; the sails, loosed to dry, flapped heavily with the sway ing of the masts. Away to the west loomed the low- lying shores of Morris island, and. to the north the aaady beach, tine was broken Here -and tnere by the frowning walls of Sumter and the wide-reaching traverses of Forts Wayne and Sullivan, floating the southern stars and bars. Berond the steeples of Charleston rose above the smoke of the city. Oa board ship a morning of list less activity had begun, as regular In its beats as the movement of a well-timed clock. The clothes of the morning watch had been stretched to dry, hung on the ffirt-llnes be tween the fore and main masts, for It was jack-tar's wash day. Sud denly a gentle air came from the land; the sun burst out, the boat swain's whistle shrilled, and the word was passed from spar to berth deck: "All hands furl salL" Slowly the men swarmed aloft, out upon the yards and furled away, the foretopmen pitted against the main, trying In quickened emulation to have their duty done the first. As the men laid out at the command a sailor's cap fell from the fore top gal lant : yard. and. bounding and trio- ping against gear and spar, plashed softly into the sea close alongside the rolling frigate. The owner was left bareheaded at the bunt. Now, In a sailor's cap are stored many useful and many precioua things. Everything but his money; that is kept In ' a rough purse of Jack's own making, lying close on his hairy chest. . In the rim of his cap, however, between the 'pad and the lining, are his pipe, his plug of tobacco, his open-topped thimble, a needle crossed with thread (like a boy's kite twine) and often his love letter, to be read and reread on his watch below. j : How that sailor's cap came to fall Is not recorded In history; but al most as soon as it had struck the water its owner forsook his duty on the .yard, and, braving the dis pleasure of his mates and ' the rep rimand that was almost sure to fol low, he hurried down the shrouds. With an eager, resolute demeanor he approached the officer of the deck. Fulling his forelock, In place of a salute, he Salds. respectfully: Tve lost my cars overboard, sir. It's close alongside. . .May ' I fish it up from the companion ladder? The officer, gained over by the man's earnestness, and occupied by the work going on In the sultry air above him, gave a careless assent, as to a trifle. The salts were soon rolled up, the gaskets passed, and the men came down the deck. Just then, as the officer 'turned to give the order to haul, taut the running gear and square the yards, a com motion on the poop deck caught his eye a commotion that denoted some catastrophe.' ' JIan overboard l rang put from a group of Idlers gathered near the taffrail.. There was a hurried going to and fro. and ah. order shouted: "Let go the life buoy," by the watch officer, as he hastened. to the side. The port quarter - boat,' quickly manned, was lowered awayj but the davit falls were tangled, and it lin gered helplessly. On the facing slope of a mighty swell, drifting swiftly with the northerly set of the tide, could be seen poor Jack, motionless, with out stretched arms, head down, and quite exhausted. In rapid succes sion two figures leaped up In the hammock nettings, and then dived out together from the frigate's tall black sides. Two heads bobbed up in the clear green water, and one of the rescuers was seen to be an officer a lieutenan t and the other a stra pie sailor, who knew no better thing to do than to save a shipmate's life. They struck out bravely for the drowning man. whose white shirt gleamed In the sunlight. But suddenly a shout came from the ship, whose bulwarks were now fringed with a row of anxious faces. A black triangular fin cut with the spur of a race borse through the water. And here another, there third and .then score of them at once.'. l.The sharks were gathering like, a pack ol wolves. ;The quarter boat, cleared at last. pullM from tb, ahadow ot the ves sel, and the tworescUers, now oling- lnio"ihe. Mfe buoy, urged ' the cox- BWftW no vo stop ior mem, out t make Jor the drifting . sailor. His figure seemed to be moving slightly. TbenAthe white shirt was! tossed about convulsively, there . was an angry tW and it disappeared, leav - Ing -only ripple on the oily water to mark the place. The crew 'stopped their rowing aur? hocked the boats soeed . with their oars too late. Soma of the men sraxed over tha side down into the green depths. ' " ' -. , .Have you ever seen a shoal of trout around a Sink i . Thf. what they trout around a sinking worm? : saw." , The bowman, as they turned. picked up the fatal icause of the catastrophe, the cap, and flung It with a curse upon the rorward grat ings. Then the men, with white, strained faces, pulled for the two would-be rescuers, who clung, pale and anxious, to the life buoy, and none too soon, for the horrid fins were darting about in all directions, and deep in the lucid water dark shapes were hurling to and fro. The quarter boat rose to her davits again amidst the silence of seven hundred men mustered on the deck. "John Mowbray, seaman, . UD" dead, discharged was entered on ,tte purser's "book. As If nothing ihad occurred tho men were piped to upper. . The rUo of the tragedy, -the cap, remained wet and sodden Jon the caps tap, tossed there by one ot the boat's crew as he passed. . The officer of the watch passing jthe starboard side of the quarter (deck, deep In thought, suddenly no 'tlced a sailor standing at the mast awaiting recognition. . i "What Is it?" said the officer, stopping short. The man saluted. "I begs pardon, sir," be said. "But that cap there is John Mow bray's. I was with him on the fore top gallant yard when soraethin knocks it off. Says he: 'III iret It If I has to swim for it, or drown,' , then down be goes, leavin' me tho : heavy bunt to handle, sir, alone." i Back to the capstan went the oSi- ! cerj he lifted up the recking cap; its , story was soon xoia. uut or the lin- i Ing came, with the usual sailor's thlngs, a wet blurred letter and a cheap unframed tintype of a pretty woman with pink cheeks, and a gilt chain about her neck. For this John Mowbray, soaman, leaped to his death. The young lieutenant who had plunged to his rescue was Stephen B. Luce, now a rear admiral re tired. N. Y. Weekly. Mr. ChUds Papar and Esta!a.

"Women are curious creatures." saidone married man to another. ' 'You say that with the air of one who has made an original discovery." "Well, I mean about money." They had been talking about money and which was the best policy to make your wife your banker and draw enough every day to last you till you get home again, or to allow her so much every week to run the house with. Married men always get to talking about that problem sooner or .later. 'About money they are curious creatures, as sure as you're a foot high. I give my wife my wages and she gives me whatever money I want.-. She has the responsibility of saving, and she feels it to be a very mighty responsibility. When she makes up her mind to save ten dol lars, that ten dollars is as good as gone out of the world. The grocer must wait and the doctor never did have any right to his money, a least not until after that particular ten-dollar bill Is In the bank. When we lived In Brooklyn we opened an account with a savings bank there. Then we removed to Harlem, and, of course, it wasn t so handy to get over with the money. The missus kept saving till she had one hundred and ten dollars laid by. "'You ought to put that money In the bank,' I told her. "Somebody will climb in by the dumb waiter and steal" that ono hundred and tea dol lars, and then youH feel sorry. "'I know it.' " 'Well, T.hv don't vou bauk It?' " "I didn't Lave th? vv.r fare.'

A Ganial Contpshion as Well Abla Inatrwctorw "A hearty and natural greeting, a ready smile and a certain Inde finable air ot OMnradeshlp" thus Dr. Munger characterizes the rela tionship of President Porter of Yale college to his pup Us. "It mada him the most popular Instructor of "his day, and one, of . the most useful, Dr. Munger adds. And another of his biographers bears a similar tea- timony: - -4 I'OCKt scholar, or poor, earnest or frivol jus, evrry one found kind listening and cordial response. A friend once -met at his door a student going out from an Interview which his own fault had occasioned; and the professor said, with a twinkle In his eye: f "I like to meet a bad fellow now and then!" 1 ' j He never sermonised, never seemed to be "trying to do you good." Ills manner was Eke an elder brother's. I remember In my junior year falling In with him I while walking in 'Tu tor's lane." lie invited me to join him, and for j two hours we walked and ' talked about books, the scenery, whatever topic came upper most, almost as freely as I would have talked with one of my college chums. I recall nothing that was said, but I know that a quiet uplift was given by that conversation. It is a rare gift In a man to be able to talk with a boy and "college junior Is two thirds a boy and that gift he had in perfection How he was regarded by the stu dents in ireocral la shown by aa amusing reminiscence.

PNEU3IATI0 TUBESL of TnU Method for tn PhnavWphlea, MaSa is re sis vm. to- rwfia Bat TrWrfae a meals Eattew- eaU Taars a It While the experiment of the pneu matic tube as the most modern method for the transmission of the mails has proved a success, there Is no likelihood that It will be adopted by the poet office department and put Into general use for a long time. buch aa Innovation, says the Wash ington Star, would not only be most expensive to the government, but in order to perfect the system much tune and labor must necessarily be consumel la the surveying of the routes and laying of the tubes In the few large cities where the costal service would warrant its use. About a year ago a company was organised in 1 mlatlejpiua, among whom were several gentlemen who witnessed the workings of the Paris system. A proposition was made by them to the postmaster general la which they agreed to lay a pneumatic tube between the Philadelphia post office, and the East Chestnut street sta tionabout halt a mile distant without any expense to the govern ment, la the hope that la the event the department was satisfied with the success of the experiment it ould be adopted and put into gen eral use. The company agreed to lay the tube and maintain the ex pense for one year. The experiment has been watched with the closest in terest by the post: office officials, and the general opinion Is that It Is a suc cess in every particular. Encouraged by Its practicability, a similar com pany was shortly afterward formed io New York for the purpose of laying a tube between New York and Brook lyn. Much difficulty was experi enced tn getting the right of way over the Brooklyn bridge, but finally consent was given and the work was about to.be started, when the gen eral depression In business and finan cial circles set In and the plaa was abandoned. The Philadelphia com pany, however, continued the use of its tube free of expense to tho gov ernment. On February 1 Ust Its contract expired, and they were un willing to continue the transmission of the mails unless the government shared a proportion of the expense. Application was made to the post master general, and it was agreed to do this and to maintain the tube until next February. Although no specific appropriation has ever been made by congress for experimenting with the pneumatic tube, the post master general felt warranted, in view of the success of the undertak ing, la drawing upon the emergency fund at his disposal to continue its use.- The tube now ased in Phila delphia, and which, in time, Is ex pected to oe put into general use la all large citlea, is pronounced by foreign- experts who have visited this country to excel those In opera tion In London and Paris. The in terior of the Paris tube Is about three Inches la diameter, the Eng lish tube is even smaller, while that used In Philadelphia Is nearly six laches la diameter, and is capable of carrying newspaper packages. The Paris and London tubes are confined strictly to the transmission of let ters.' . Rousseau and MiOst. Rousseau and Millet were very un like, as one may Infer from their work. Rousseau was essentially a landscape painter, and it was In the woods that he found his favorite themes. The splendor of the setting un or a sheltered nook In the woods were subjects he was fond of painting. Beautiful ejects like these enraptured him, and naturally he sought to reproduce tbem. Millet, like Rousseau, was an admirer of th grandeur 'and richness of nature, but he waa more deeply moved by another sentiment. In his mind it was man who played the principal part, aad to his eyes the landscape was the stage on which the drama of humanity was represented. The continued labor which the life of man demands, his sufferings, his pains as well as his joys, his pleas ores, his . weariness, his rest, his peace these were the conditions that appealed most strongly to Fran - a I KM j imainatloe, and it was these I which M felt himself driven to paint. !
