H!S CABir* iS His CASTLE, (But Not Hla Forecastle, as the Sea Captain Found Out. The ship had dropped anchor in the lower Day, and the captain was nervously pacing tue decs waiting for the owner's tug. A man hailed the ship from a rowboat and said he was coming on board. The cap tain recognized him as a boarding house runner and ordered him off. The runner insisted. "The miaute you come over the rail of this ship I'll shoot you like a dog!" yelled tne captain. "You'll hang for it if you do!" yelled the man, making his boat fast to the ship's side. "My ship's my home, and I'd have as much right to kill you as a man on shore would to kill a burglar," continued the captain. "That's the instructions I got from the owners on my last trip/' Just then the owner's tug arrived, and the runner look to his oars. "Wouldn't I have had a right to shoot him if he'd insisted on coming on board?" asked the captain. The owner had consulted his attorney since the captain had been in port before and had to modify his orders. "The law is not what we im agined," he said. "The ship is not your home, but your yard. You can defend your cabin as if it were your houf 2." Tho forecastle is as another building in your yard, the quarters for your servants. You can't keep their friends out by force/'-New York Tribune. A Russian General. Snvaroff, the great Bussian gen eral, affected a "saucy roughness"' of speech, especially when the petti ness of small natures awoke his con tempt. One da}r, after a review of troops, the Empress Catherine was so pleased with the precision of their movement that she distributed rewards broadcast among the offi cers. Suvaroff regarded the obse quious crowd'in grim silence until the. empress, turning to him, in quired : . "And you, general, do you require nothing?" efWell, mother/' he replied, ?pay the rent o? my lodgings." "Are you much in debt, then?" "Three and a half rubles !" The grim old soldier was wont after this to boast that the czarina had paid his debts. The sum total was about $3.50. After a great victory over the Turks, he refused to snare in the spoils and persistently declined an Arab horse which one of the gen erals passed upon him. "A pony of the Don brought me here," he said, "and a pony of the, Don shall take me away/' " j ."But/* objected the other, "Tie will now be unequal to bearing the weight of your laurels." "A Don pony has always carried me and my fortunes," was the sturdy response. Observant Sightseers. There is a certain type of traveler like the one who said, on hearing some mention of Borne: "Borne? Borne ? Oh, yes, that was the place where I got the bad stockings !" A similar case is that of the lady who joined a party of tourists and looked at all the objects of interest en route with conscientious eager ness. One day, however, she said fractiously: "T thought we were going to Budapest!" "Why,?* said another traveler in amazement, "we've been there ! It was Budapest where we were yester day, and you looked at everything that was shown us/' "Was.it?" responded the grum bler, with a sigh of relief. "Well, I do declare!"

A characteristic story of Stephen Girard was that he induced a boy to work for him till he was 21 years old by promising to give him a good start in life afterward. When the time came, the young man applied for the promised reward. The ec centric old merchant looked at him for a moment and then said gruffly, "Go and learn a trade." Consider ably cast down, for he had expected a very different sort, the young man turned away, but after some reflec tion, knowing something of the other's peculiarities, lie decided to do as he had been bidden and learn ed the cooper's trade. When he had mastered it a year or so later, he presented himself again, and the old man gave him an order for two barrels. He made and delivered them, and Mr. Girard examined and praised them. "Now," he said, "you have a capital that you cannot lose, for you can always _all .back on your trade if you meet with adversity," and then he advanced his protege a considerable capital with which to start in business. Qood Authority. German commentators are said to find in Shakespeare's plays many things which the author never dreamed of putting there. And if German scholars may do this, why not an English schoolboy ? The late Major Barttelot was edu cated at Bugby, and is still remem bered there as the hero of a,funny blunder. "What is the meaning of the word 'adage ?* " asked the master. Various wild guesses were hazard ed by different members of the class, and then it came young Barttelot's turn. Without hesitation he re plied: "A place to put cats into." Every one laughed, and the mas ter, who was as much mystified as his pupils by the strange answer, called the hoy up at the end of the lesson and asked what had put such an idea into his head. "Why, sir," said Barttelot, "doesn't it say in Shakespeare, 'Liku the poor cat in the adage?*" Similarity of tr?e Hands and Feet. Persons born without hands often nee their feet for nearly every object that hands ordinarily serve for, threading needles with their toes, using scissors, writing, etc. It is a very interesting tiling to examine the skeletons of a human foot and hand side by side and to observe how the two structures are absolute ly similar save for certain modifi cations which adapt the foot for locomotion and the hand for i?a nipulation. Treea Need Sleep. "Insomnia dries trees up and kills them after awhile," remarks a tree fancier. "Trees need sleep just as individuals,. and if powerful lights aro glaring ur>on them all night long the leaves will gradually wither and drop from the branches.

Sive the Death signal Clave Instea? u cigarette to tho Man Who Had Been Condemned to DI?. "As waa brought home to tho Ameri can mind during the Spanish war the Latin races place slight value upon hu* man life, aad the indifference shown at executions ls a marked characteristic of their natures/' said a Boston man. "I am reminded of a scsae /^.vltuess ed while traveling In one of the Cen* tral American states several years ago. As we all know, revolutions there aro of frequent occurrence. The' Buccens ful general, who usuaHy succeeds to the presidency, sometimes sc-UU;? bis differences with the leaders of the van quished by exiling them or having them stood up against an adobe wall before a file of soldiers, shot and burled where they fall-usually tho latter. ''While at the capital of one of these staten shortly after tue ?urintnntlon of a revolution I made the acquaintance of the pr?sident au:! baverai of bis offi cers, as I speak Spanish fluently. One morning as I was passing the entrance to thc palace I encountered an officer, a colonel, just as be emerged from the portico. He greeted me pleasantly and asked me if I would care to accompany bim to the barracks, about' a quarter of a milo distant, saying that one of the leaders of thc just finished revolu tion had been unexpectedly captured in the mountains, brought to the capi ta* and was to be executed at noon by order of the president. "He had, be said, slnco the revolu tionist was related to bim by family ties and because bc personally stood high in the favor of thc president, vain ly interceded tb secure the prisoner's release or commutation of sentence to banishment. The president, however, bad ordered the execution to proceed, and as be (the colonel) was in com mand of the barracks, it became his painful duty to personally carry out the order. "I assented, as I had never seen au execution, and, though I pitied the vic tim, I knew that anything I could do would- not save him, excusing my cou science on that ground. "Arriving In the courtyard of thc barracks, I observed a file of soldiers standing at rest a short distance from a high adobe wall, close to which stood a man of middle age calmly smoking a cigarette. Beyond a quick glance at the colonel's Immovable features be betrayed no sign of recognition or of the peril of bis position. He must have known of course that the latter's mission had been a fruitless one. The execution was set at 12 o'clock noon. A youpg lieutenant stood idly by lean ing on the hilt of his drawn saber. It was then five minutes ol' the hour. "The colonel iuformed the lieutenant that he had left another friend of the condemned mnn with the president, and lt was agreed if the president yielded to his pleadings he would step out on one of the little balconies pecul iar to all Spanish buildings and dis ! charge a pistol. All present beard the colonel's remarks, including the man I against the wall, and all ?eyes sought the balcony of tbe palace, which on a slight rise of ground could be plainly ! seen in the clear, tropical sunlight. ! "To me the suspense brought on a ? nervous chill which was decidedly un pleasant. The doomed man puffed quietly at his cigarette, and the little, undersized soldiers arrayed themselves in straight line as the colonel, watch in I hand, stood near to give the fatal word. The lieutenant raised bis sword pre paratory to making a quick downward sweep as he would give the word to fire. ? "On the other side of tho barracks was the old mission or cathedral to be found In every Spanish town, with Its bells In the tower which tolled the hours. At about one minute before 12 the colonel said: "Tt's not 12 o'clock until the last stroke Is struck, lieutenant' "Just as he finished the first stroke of the deep, mellow old bell rang out on the still, hot atmosphere. The con demned man dropped his cigarette to the ground, turned a ghastly pallor, but straightened his figure upright and full to the soldiers who were then lined up, with rifles cocked, pointed at bis heart. The colonel shifted his eyes from bis watch to tlie balcony. "It seemed an hour to ie as the strokes slowly sounded v?vo, three, four. Ave, six, and then as the seventh stroke was reverberating we saw tbe figure of a man leap through the win dow on the balcony, and a tiny puff of white smoke ascended from his up lifted arm. "Tho colonel cried out sharply: 'At tention! Right about face; marchi' The lieutenant slipped his sword In Its scabbard with a snap, drew the in evitable package of cigarettes from bis blouse, and as the pardoned man ran toward us and clasped his relative grate fully in his nrms bc was politely offer ed a cigarette from the band which the moment previous had been raised to give tho signal of bis death. "I afterward learned that the friend whom the colonel had left at the pal ace was one of the most prominent merchants In thc country, who bad furnished a considerable portion of the funds with which the revolution bad been conducted, and that at the last moment thc president had consented to Ids demand for the release of the prisoner."-Washington Star.

HE WAS TOO GOOD. Why Clarence Couldn't Be the Old Man's Son-in-law. "No, sir," said tho old gentleman, bringing his fist down hard on the desk in front of him, "I will never consent to my daughter's becoming tho wifo of a man who uses strong drink!" "B-b-but," said tho trembling young man, twirling his hat and ever and anon stealing a glance at the door as if calculating tho num ber of jumps he would have to make in reaching it hastily, '1 never tasted liquor in my life." Daniel Gettenhold looked up with suddenly awakening interest. "Oh," ho sp.id, "never drank a drop, eh?" "No, sir," Clarence Darlington re plied. "I do not know the taste of the nasty stuff."

Red Tape In England. A Somerset house clerk entered the private room of tho head of his department to ask for a fortnight's holiday.

"Oh, yes; in fact, it is indispensa ble." "Then I will go back to tho office." "No need to do that; see, here are pens, ink and papers. Sit down and write." The clerk obeyed. The petition was written out, signed and folded. "Now," said thc functionary, "you have only to present it." "TO whom?" "To me, of course!" And, taking the petition, he wiped his glasses, carefully adjusted them, read the document from beginning to end, placing it on file along with a num ber of similar applications, and then remarked with the utmost gravity, "I have read your petition and re gret exceedingly that I am compel led to inform you that I cannot ac cede to your request."-London Tit Bits. Why Spiders Are Not Insects. The spider is not an insect, though probably nine people out of ten would class it under this term. With scorpions and mites spiders form a class in the animal kingdom1 known as arachnida. This name is derived from a mythical personage called Arachne, tho daughter of a purple dyer of Lydia, who was fabled to have challenged Minerva to a trial of skill in spinning. So indignant was the goddess at this act of boldness that she forthwith transformed the hapless challenger into a spider, presumably in order that she might have the best possi ble opportunity of practicing the art on which she prided herself so much. Spiders differ fron, msccts in five main particulars. Their eyes are simple instead of compound, they have eight legs in place of six, they do not pass through the metamor phoses which are characteristic of insects, they have no antennae, arid their breathing is* accomplished by means of organs which combine the functions of lungs and gills, instead of by tubes pervading their bodies. These points of distinction aro suffi cient to determine the fact that it is impossible to class spiders as insects. -Exchange. Holland Keeps Old Ocean at Bay.

Minister Participated. Past CO, halo and strong, young at heart and full of interest in life, this particular minister delights in living over the memories of his ear lier days. "At tho university," he told the other night, "my roommate and best friend was Jim Masters, from Colorado. Ho was big, jovial and forever planning something to laugh at. 'Anything for fun' was his j motto, and ho kept tilings whirling for 1G hours a day. After tho regu lar conreo he went to tho law de partment and I to tho theological. After 1 was through and had a par ish he invited mo to spend my first vacation with him, and I went. I was soon known in tho settlement as tho sky pilot, and Jim assured me that tho boys were behaving unusu ally weil bocauso of my presence. "They had some big celebration at tho village one day, and Jim in sisted that I ride c*er with him. I mounted a fine looking horse that ho assured me was as gentle as a cheep, and we attracted a good deal of attention on our arrival. Just as soon as the band struck up that horse began to waltz. Thc crowd was silent, for a few seconds, and then amazement gave way to mirth. I struggled to discipline the worldly creature and momentarily wished that I had a gun, when I saw Jim rolling around in his saddle and en couraging the boys to cheer. '"Fire tho connon!' veiled Jim, and when the old fieldpicce boomed the horse threw his front feet on a stump and went around it in the most ridiculous way. I was too angry to dismount and after a spirited tussle made tlio horse be have. Of course Jim had bought tho animal irom a circus, and equally, of course, hoped for just such a performance as that in which I participated. I haven't tho slight? est doubt that some of those people are laughing yet, and thero is not a year that tho incorrigible Jim does not telegraph to ask if I liavo fully recovered from tho Avild celebra tion."-Deroit Free Press.

Wc are inclined to doubt it, except in the decided "fast" cir cles'. The sex has little attraction to the usc of tobacoo in this generation, which is the more remarkable when we consider how much men are depen dent upon it. But previous genera tions of women did usc tobacco a good deal. They took it in tho form of snutT, and it was widely tho custom of the older women of thc earlier years of the last century. Thc old ladies of those days used to carry their snuff boxes, and it was thought to bc pardonable and even appropriate that they should usc their contents. How this^piauiice died out has never been explained, but it is certain that it did vanish and almost suddenly. Perhaps it was partly because so many of thc men abandoned it. Thc states men of the earlier period wore snuff takers. Henry Clay was a great snuff user, and in our times it used to be said that the red bandana of Senator Thurman, of Ohio, was a signal of his Bnuff-taking days.- Boston Herald. - Don't despise little things.
