A large steel vessel has recently been
built in Norway, among whose tittitigs is
a patent oil-distributer, by which oil can
be thrown on the waves during severe
storms. Within the vessel there is an
iron reservoir, from which a pipe ex
tends alongside of the vessel near the j
water-line, and as close to the bow as
possible. A valve in the pipe, close to i
the reservoir, regulates the distribution
of the oil. This is probably the first
case in which provision for throwing oil :
upon the waves has been made from the
first designing and buildiug of a vessel. :

and surmounted by a huge glass globe '
illuminated at night by electricity. At
each section there will be balconies; some

of representation at Chicago, and there
is every reason o believe that liberal
provision will be made by exhibitors for

Uy lore b far away from ma to night.
Oh spirita of aweet peace, kind destinies;
Watch over her, and breath upon her
Keep near to her in every hurt's despite,
That no rude care or noisome dream affright.
Bo let her rest, so let her sink to sleep.
As little clouds that breast the sunset
steep
Merge and melt out into the golden light.
My love is far away, and I am grown
A very child, oppressed with formless
glooms.
Some shadowy sadness with a name un
known flaunts the chill twilight, an J these silent
rooms
Seem with vague fears and dim regrets
astir.
Lonesome an.l strange and empty without
her.
Archibald Lampmaii, in Scvibncr.
PEG.
It was not a "pitch dark" night,
though there was neither moon nor
stars. The road lay white and glim
mering, as roads will lie even ou such
Eights. Perhaps the moon was some
where behind the clouds.
Peg, the toll-keeper at tho gate, had
often seen the pike appear just so; and
so had Jim Wagner, plodding along the
road.
One might keep safely along, or
might instead, by accident or a sudden
tightening of the rein, turn square down
the Silver Thread, thinking it was the
pike especially if one were dreaming.
But Jim had passed the Sliver Thread
safely. In soothing tones he was be
seeching Black Fan to "go it kcerful
and not to clank her hoofs, as cf she
couldn't make enough noise.
For answer, Black Fan in a senseless
and provoking manner clanked her hoofs
louder than before, and lifted her head
and whiunicd.
There was no light in the toll-house
nor sound ol life about the place; every
thing was quiet and dark as it should be
at almost twelve o'clock at night. But
as Black Fan clauked her hoofs almost
in front of the little porch, the door of
the house flew opim aud Fog came out
to take the toll.
It was the rule cf the pike that, after
nine o'clock at night, the gate could be
left untended, or tho keeper, if she
choose, might keep for herself the few
coppers that came.
"1 b'lieve she'd set up watchin' for a
fetter till incrnin'," grumbled Jim, as
Rack Fan rattled on toward home.
"She's the stingiest woman in these
parts.''
Bill Walsh, Peg's husband, had his
blacksmith shop close by the toll-gate.
If, ten years before, he had not gone to
the Eastern Shore aud brought back the
chills aud lever, ho would have got on
well enough. But the chills and fever
and the blacksmith trade were never
meant to go together.
"He'll set and shake day after day,
mebbe for weeks at a time, aud then not
be over it," said Josh Bernet, explaining
this curious disease to a neighbor; "an'
his face about the color of them there
ashes."
There were four children at the toll
house. One was a little girl who had a way of
leaning out at the garret window and
shaking her fist at people who, she im
agined, were planning io keep her
mother waiting after dark. She was
such a very pretty little girl that people
ouly laughed when they saw her shaking
her list.
There were the two boys who went to
school whenever they were sent; and
then the bad little boy who generally
sat ou the porch in fine weather, wearing
his Sunday shoes every day. lie was his
mother's pet.
None of Peg's children were sent to
school regularly. They weut when their
clothes were new; and when these gar
ments wtre old, faded and patched, the
childicn stayed at home.
For Peg was proud. Her neighbors
were awnre of it, and shunned her ac
cordingly. Poverty was, in their minds,
something sent by the Lord, and noth
ing to be ashamed of. Sickness was a
trial sent from heaven ; but pride was a
crime which they could not forgive.
Peg did not love her neighbors any
moie than they loved her. Perhaps
there was a little jealousy intermixed
with the feeling she bore them. Most
of them were not nearly so poor as she.
Some were farmers, with well-cultivated
acres. There were Mr. Jonej, the drov
er, and Mr. Ed Coon, who had set up a
r i vat blacksmith shop on tho other side
of the creek, and got plenty of work.
"Ef Bill warn't sickly, we might hev
a house like his'n," Peg had ofteu
thought, as she sat alone in the dark
with n bitter feeling creeping about her
heart.
If Pegliad sent the children to school
in old clothes as well as new; if she had
allowed Bill to buy on credit just a bit
down at the store, to show he could be
trusted ; if she had sometimos let people
slip through the gate in the evening
without paying the coppers that made the
pike no richer; and above all, if it hadn't
been reported that sho'd said, "if her or
any o' hern was sick, she didn't want
'em to come with their custards aud their
gelatine," things might hive been differ
ent. When Bill found her, during his oth
erwise unhappy sojourn on the Eastern
Shore, he saw, under her tilted-back
Eiinbonnct, the biggest of black eyes, the
reddest of cheeks, and the daiutiest of
dark brown curls. Bill had bragged
p.bout "up our way" until it had seemed
to her imagination a paradise; and she
had come back with him, his wife.
But "up our way" Bill had see i her
harden until the black eyes had no
laughter in them; had seen the red
cheeks deeper dyed with anger and in
dignation and jealousy ; had seen her
grow into a sharp, quick, giasping little
woman, whom the Turnpike Company
was glad to have at the toll-gate.
"Ef Bill warn't sickly, we might buy
yonder corner of John Lawrence's field,
and build a house with red trimmin's,"
ran Peg's thoughts again. "I reckon like
as not some other body'U be along and
snap it up before our eyes, and Bill not
a-keerin' a pin. Ef them Browns buys
the lot and puts up their fancy buitdin's
'on 't, I'm a-goin' to leave. Tho shop
won't be much trouble for to carry
away."
Then she started up and said "Oh!"
and clasped her bands together and
laughed, as she might have done when
she was down on the "Ente'n 8ho"
She tiptoed softly out through the nar
row passageway and up the steep little
steps to where the bed little boy lay
asleep in his Sunday shoes; for lie would
not take them off for alt his mother
begguig.
She knelt beside him, and began to un
tie the strings. She had forgotten that
she felt "sick and tired and most worn
out." Her blaek eyes were laughing
still, as she stooped over and kissed her
pet.
But when she kissed him, the laugh
ter died out of her eyes, and there came
an anxious look instead. She put her
little, hard brown hand on his forehead,
and then on his cheek, and then on his
chubby wrist; and as she liitened to
the irregular breathing. John Wvnn
drove past, and wriggled with delight
to think that be had cheated the toll for
the second time.
The drivers were not kept waiting tho
next day. Dan Toomey's fast mare was
obliged to pause an inst-it. John Wynu
tried it again, was trapped ; but Peg's pet
did not ait ou the doorstep that sunny
Tuesday ami swing his Sabbath shod
feet as if there were nothing in tho world
so fine.
"lias Walsh's children stopped a-goin'
to school altogether?" inquired Mrs.
Coon, as Mary and Belle came bouncing
in with their satchels.
"Some 'n's sick, I s'pose," said Belle;
"I teen the doctor's horse tied to the
tree n pawin' like he'd been there a long
time."
" 'Hum I Now I wonder if custards and
gelatines wouldn't come into account I"
said the rival blacksmith's wife, with a
shrug of her shoulders.
'They's sick at the toll-gate." Tho
news spread swiftly. "Down with the
measels or somethin'." Very soon the
word came, "Thoy's down with the scar
let fover!"
Then Mrs. Coon forgot and forgave,
and sent Mary over with a dish of jelly,
covered with her finest napkin; but the
napkin and the dish both returned with
Mary, and the jelly, too.
A little white coffin was carried nut
from the toll-house one day, and old Mrs.
Lisle fell to crying aud sobbing as the
burden was carried past the store. "An'
never so much as a cracker," she moaued,
"an' no milk nor nothin'I"
"The proudest woman in these parts,"
cried Josh Bernet, thrusting his hands
deepejnto his trainer's pockets, and ve
hemently pacing tho floor.
"By George!" exclaimed Colonel
Green, puffing and blowing. "Bill
Walsh is down himself; taken in the
uight, and raving like a loon. I say
something must be done."
There was a light in tho toll-house
now; it seemed .is if it had been thero a
long time a steady, mellow light, that
fell across the road and lost itself in the
grassy field.
But the door flew open as usual when
Will Smith's wagon drove up, aud Teg
came out for the toll.
Thinking of the unhappiness ind pov
erty within, Will timidly held out a sil
ver quarter.
"Three cents," said Peg, sharply, and
handed him back the change.
The humming-birds whizzed away sud
denly from the great clustering honey
suckle at the end of Col. Green's front
porch. They had dipped their bills un
disturbed into ;he sweetness of its hney,
though the Colonel's voice came big and
blustering out through the open sitting
room window.
But this disturbance was mnre than a
voice; it was a girl who came rushing to
the bench under the vine and threw her
arms on the railing, with her head in her
arms, and began to weep.
First she sobbed vehemently, as if she
iiad been keeping back tho tears and
could do so no longer. Tuen she wept
more softly, and at last stopped alto
gether, nnd fell to wondering a little in
dignantly why her grandfather and the
rest of the people did not stop talking and
set to work to do something instead.
"If I were only a man," said Hetty
Green, hopelessly, "I should thiuk of
some way."
She pressed her face deeper among he
fresh leaves and sighed, thinking. Then
she began to wonder what she would
think of if she really were a man.
As she puzzled her brain she stood so
silently that the birds came whizzing
about again, only to be started off on
another tour as she jumped up and ran
back into the house.
If they had remained and peeped in at
the window, they might have seen Hetty
performing an ecstatic dance across the
sitting-room floor to where the worn-out
Colonel rested iu his leather chair. They
might have seen her fling herself upon
the arm, and whisper in the Colonel's car
exactly what he and all the other people
must go and do.
But the birds must have been sorely
puzzled, for why should a whisper from
a girl who was always whispering ma'ce
such an impression upon a gray-haired,
sensible man like the Colonel)
He did not wait until shs was done
whispering beforo he was tapping his
feet on the floor and nodding bis head,
and exclaiming, "By George!" in ap
proval. Whether or not she was really
done they could not have known, for the
Colonel suddenly put on hi) bat and left
the room.
All around the country for miles and
miles drove Hetty's grandfather, the
Colonel, pausing for an instant at every
house ou the way, rushing in and out of
Dillton's livery stablo, aud exclaiming
and gesticulating to every man he met.
When Colonel Green reached home
that night he was ready for be 1 ; but ho
did not go to it. He ate his supper in a
desperate hurry, and ordered out his
tired horse.
John Wagner and Will Smith did an
outrageous thing. Bill Walsh, as every
body knew, was down with the scarlet
fever, and three children lying ill in the
next room; but these two young fellows
drove through without paying, right
under Peg's nose.
She did not call angrily at them, as
she would have done a week before.
She turned about in tho doorway and
put her hands over her face.
Some one upstairs tossed and moaned,
and a child's voice screamed for water.
She let her hands fall, sail ran up as
fast as she could.
The beautiful day had been good to
her sick ones, but what had it brought
to her! What had tho doctor been say
ing? That the invalids positively must
have beef tea and chickens, grapes and
oranges. :
Peg clenched her little hard fists and
pressed her Hps tightly together. Beef
tea and chickens, grapes and oranges 1
It was not that they ought to have
these thingsnot that it would . be well
for them "to have them, but that they
must hare them. I'
"They mnst they must, they must,"
said poor Peg, under he breath.! j ,
. ' She went to the window and glanced
uickly down the rood In the gathering
- No one was coming, hst to Peg's ex
cited fancy there was same one hurrying
along, this way and that way, up and
down and around.
It was the beauty of Peach Blow that
little village down on the Eastern Shore
begging, "up our wsy." Not for
bread ; that any one who is hungry may
beg for; but for beef tea and, chickens,
grapes and oranges I
A singular sick and giddy feeling came
over her. She knew she must do this.
God had punished her Bin of pride,
surely.
"I rr list, I must !" muttered Peg. Then
she darted down.the stairs, quick as a
flash, and stood at the gate waiting for
her own and the Company's money
John Wagner cried out: "We're
caught," and W:ll shouted: "Rin it
fasti" but it was no use. Peg took the
money hers and the Company's.
The old clock inside th j door struck
nine. What was that do-vn the dim
roadway? Another bugy.
She stood and waited for her money
this time.
Why, there was a double team com
ing, and another! Was there a prty
somewhere? She had not heard.
One after another carrages came pour
ing in, tho one-horse wagons, two-horse
wagons, six-horse teams and eight-horse
teams; tnere were little limping ponies,
whose trotting day had long been over,
and carts and sulkies and horsemen,
and mules, donkeys and goats.
Pe dropped hor money from her hand
to her apron, and stood there holding it
up. The lamps from a livery stable
carriage threw their light upon hor lace,
showiug the great, wondering black
eyes and the kinks of the brown hair.
Some laughed softly as they jingled
the toll into the apron ; some reproached
her for fitting up s i late to catch a party ;
some declared vehemently that they
weren't going to pay at this time in the
night, but they paid just the same.
One voice an old man's near the end
of tho cavalcade cried out triumphantly,
"I3y George!' and the last of tho train
passed through.
"Did you catch 'em, Peg?"
Thin and weak came the voice from
the bed, with just a tremor of humor in
it. Peg looked at him. She could sea
thai he was much better.
Peg held open her apron so that ha
might see that it was full. Theu she
wcut down on her knees beside tho bad.
"They done it a-purpose, Bill!" sho
said, and could say no more. Youlh't
Companion.
The Executive Oflicsr of a Crn.'sir.
The duty of First Lieutenant aboard
one of the big cruisers of the new navy is
acknowledged to be the hardest in tho
service. The officer '.nowu as the First
Lieutenant is the l'.je officer standing
next in rank to the commanding officer
of the 3hip. He is the chief of stall, the
mouthpiece of the captain, and tho ex
ecutive officer. The First Lieutenant of
such ships as the Philadelphia, Chieago,
San Francisco and Charleston is a Lieu
tenant Commander. Aboard the York
town, Petrel aud Bennington the First
Lieutenant is a Lieutenant. Every de
tail in the sh'p's management must be
perfectly familiar to the First Lieutenant,
and where the crew numbers 400 or 50J
men th? duty often taxes him to the
limit of endurance. Tho new ships
require constaut alterations and shifting
of fittings, all unknown aboard the old
type of craft. This work devolves on
the First Lieutenant.
When all hands are called on deck the
First Lieutenant takes the bridge and
delivers the orders. The Captain of tho
vessel will at such times stand by his
side, and if he has occasion to address
his chief of staff will usually do so in an
undertone. In time of action tho First
Lieutenant has immediate charge of the
battery. All orders affecting the control
of fire, the pointing and concentration,
devolve on the First Lieutenant. He
remains among the guns throughout
the fight, ouly quitting them to assume
command of the vessel, should his com
manding officer bo disabled. During
tho past few months endeavors have
been made to secure the detail of an offi
cer to each of the big cruisers to act as
assistant to tbo First Lieutenant. The
matter has been brought to the attention
of tho Secretary of the Navy, but has not
yet been acted upon. St. Lou.it GMi

"Talking about sn'iko stories," re
marked Sir. V. F. Dowdcn, "reminds
me of a curious thing I once saw done in
Dixie. Marmaduka's column of Confed
erates were marching through the pines
away down in Arkansas one morning
h'lcting for a locality where grub was
not so distressingly Bcarce as it had be
come where we were camped. The Gea
eral nnd his escort were riding at the
bead of the column. Looking down in
the roal I saw a peculiarly shaped snake
nnd at a second glance I remarked :
"General, here is a snake with two tails
and no head." General Marmadute and
several members of his stall stopped theic
horses to get a better view of his susks
ship. Upon close examination it wai
seen that what appeared to be one snake
was really parts of two. That they were
about the same size and one had partially
swallo .vel the other had swallowed it
too far to disgorge before discovering
that it was a physical impossibility to
swallow it entirely. "This is a true
story," continued Mr. Dowden, "aad I

The following, which api eared in a
Detroit paper, is one of the most touch
ing inoidents to be met with. . --
There is family in this eity who are
dependent upon a little child for the
present snnshioe of themselves. A few
.weeks ago the youug wife and mother
was stricken down to die. It Was so
sudden, so dreadful, when the grave
family physician called them together
io the parlor, and in his solemn pro
fessional way intimated to them the
truth, there was no help.
Then came the question among them
who would tell her. . Not-the doctor!
It would bo cruel to let-the man of
science go to their dear one on such an
errand. Not the aged mother who was
to be left ohifdless and alone. Not the
young husband who was walking the
floor with clenohed hands and rebel I i-
j ous heart. Not, there Was only one
, other, and at this moment he looked up
I from the book he had been playiug
j with, Unnoticed by them all, and asked
gravely,
I "Is mamma doiq' to die?"
Then, without waiting for an answer,
( he sped from the room' and upstairs as
; fast as the little feet would carry him.
: Friends and neighbors were watching
by the sick woman. They wonderingly
policed the pale face of the child as he
I climbed on the bed and laid his amald
! hand on his mother's pillow.
"Mamma," he asked, in sweet carre3-
ainflr tones, "is von 'fraid to die?"
The mother looked at him with swift
intelligence. Perhaps she had been
thinking of this.
" W ho told you Charlev ?" she
asked faintly. i
"Doctor, an' papa, an' gramma,
everybody," he whispered. "Mamma, j
dear, 'tttle mamma, doan' be 'fraid to :
die, '11 you?" j
"No, Charlie," said the young mother,
after one supreme pang of grief; "nc, I
mamma won't be afraid !" ' I
Jus' shut your eyes in 'e dark,
mamma, teep hold my hand, an' when i
you open 'em, mamma it '11 be all light
there." I
When the family gathered awe- j
stricken at the bedside, Charlie held
up his little hand. j
"H-u-s-h! My mamnadoin' to sleep.
Her won't wake up her-j any more !" j
And so it proved. There was no ,
heart-re:idering farewell, no agony of
parting; for when the young mother
woke bIio had passed beyoud, and as
baby Charlie said,
"It was all light, tLee."
Whi do men always speak of their
wives as their better halves? Simply
because they half to.
