How a Young Amerienn Engineer Drought His Spirit oi! Invention to Aid In Solving a Wreak Problem in South America. "It is easy enough for an engineer to show,ability in New York or in other bi- towns where he can get about all the tools and conveniences ever devis ed. It is when an enginer finds hiiu self in the wilds of a jungle oi up in the mountains, hundreds of miles fron civilization, that his own natural in genuity and invention count." said a veteran engineer to a youngster who had been admitted to the ranks of the EnZineers' club. "Down in Surinam, Dutch Guiana, where the arrival of a sailing schooner causes a sensation, wheire a mail steamer enters the muddy harbor once in two weeks to tarry two hours to get rid of its mail and to take on a few passengers, there was once a young American engineer who showed that he had the proper spirit of invention to advance him to the front ranks of the profession. Like all the best inven tions. his was the simplest one, and it was one that was widely talked about among the profession to the credit of the inventor. "To understand the story properly you need a trifling insight into Suri nam and its habits. Here Indians may be seen on the streets wearing only a breechcloth. The white population is so scarce that all are thrown together as if in one large family, Englishmen, Americans, Germans, Dutchmen and Frenchmen all combining together and forming clubs and society to keep themselves from dying of sheer lone someness. "In this primitive town there was a man who held the splendid monopoly of owning a large scow. That. up there, seems a remnarkably small thing to be proud of, but the value of even a scow depends entirely upon where the scow is and what it will cost to replace it. This particular scow had been built by American ship carpenters sent es pecially from the United States at I.great expense. There was not another scow in the entire harbor. and about all of the heavy river work to be lone for the city and plantations and win ing companies was done by this one vessel. Its loss. therefore, would have been not only a severe one for the own er, who had a monopoly of the busi ness In those days, but it would have been little short of a national calam ty. "One day, while the scow was an chored in midstream, one of those smashing black squalls for which the tropics are famous broke over the ri~v er, and for twenty minutes you could not see ten feet away or hear a man shouting at your elbow. When the storm finally abated, the scow was not to be seer., and it was found she had gone down, deck load and all. To most of us there seemed about as much chance of raising the vessel as there would be to raise an ocean steamer sunk in the middle of the Atlantic. 'It was about this .time that the young enginieer took a hand in the problem- He asked the dimensions of the scow a-nd was told that it was 12 by 60 feet, and then he announced that if the owne.: would provide him with fcur men he would raise the scow for a certain sum of 'noney. The bargain was made, though the contractor re fused to say how he would go about Fthe job. "Now, you must tnow that aside from the ebb and fiood tide, which al ternate every six icurs, there is also what is known as a spring tide. This comes with the full of the a" has the effect of making a 1 . 3 tide than any during the n~'u a. opposite to the spring tide is the neap tide, and that happens at the (lark of Ithe modon, with the effect that at no other tide during the month is the ebb tide so low as it is at that time. Trhe difference ,in the height of water be tween the ebb at neap tide and the flood at spring tide is considerable. "The engineer waited until neap tide. On that day he towed a number of logs down the river. These he anchored over the scow and sent men below to fasten chains to one side of the seow. and these he fastened to the logs on the surface. Then he waited patiently. As the spring tide approached he tow ed other logs down thme river until he had enough to make riuite a raft, and on the day of~ the highest tide all the logs were tied together and fastened. The tide rose steadily, and the more it rose the more the raft went dowvn un den the strain of the pull on the chains. At last, just as it seemed that the raft was unequal to the occasion. It was seen to bob up violently, and a moment *later there was a commotion in the water, and the scow appeared. What had happened, of course, was this: The *chains pulling epwarnd on one side of the scow tilted it more and more until the deck load began to slide off, and finally, when all the stones had slid in to the river, the scow came up under its own buoyancy. Thme rermainder was simple. The vessel was towed to the shore, where it was haule:l up on the sand, and when the water receded holes bored into the hull caused the scow to empty- Later the holes were plugged up again, and the old ship was as fine as silk."-Newv York Times.

"Some years ago," says the advertis ing agent of a tobacco firm quoted by the Philadelphia Record, "I wished to introduce among the Chinese a two for five cigar that my people were heavily interested in, and I decided to draw up a little card extolling this cigar in Chi nese characters. "I sought out Lo Hen Wong in San Francisco, a very intelligent fellow. and got him to write me a few sen teuces in praise of my article. I had what he wrote lithographed and dis tributed the cards by thousands in all the Chinatowns of the United States. They were inscribe. with a picture of the cigar, and below were the words: Sinoke this cigar. It is the best on the market, and two for five is its price.' "That, at least, is what I thought was the meaning of the Chinese char acters. I found out, some six months later, my mistake. The words Lo Hen Wong had written and which I .had had lithographed were: 'Don't smoke this cigar. It is not good. But the Gong company's cigarettes, for sale in every Chinatown ar. 3 cents a package, are excellent.' "Lo Hen Wong had got $10 from me for his work, and I don't know how much he got from the Gong company. We distributed many thousands of the cards before we got on to the trick that bad been played on us." Old Names In London. If London street names are not al ways what they seem, the names of the great parishes usually are. Take Lam beth, for instance. That vast district has retained its name praetically unal tered since the days of Edward the Confessor, who granted a charter in which it is styled Lambehith. Some illiterate scribe, who helped in the mak ing of "Domesday," did, indeed, make an effort to obliterate its real name by calling it Lanchel, but his efforts were, fortunately, in vain. William Rufus in another charter named it Lambeth, since when it has kept its title unsul lied. In the .old days Lambehith (from hithe, a haven) was the great river port whence agricultural produce was fer ried across the Thames to the more populous country opposite. There are still many "hithes" left us, such as Queenhithe and Rotherhithe. and. al though their original functions have gone, there still remains a shadow to I remind us of their departed glory. London Chronicle. How to Makle Chop Suey. For those who li:e or who think they would like the famous Chinese dish, chop suey, the following recipe, which any Intelligent housewife can follow, was given by W. E. S. Fales, for sever al years vice consul at Amoy: "For four persons two chickens' liv ers, two chickens' gizzards, one pound young, clean pork cut into small pieces. half an ounce of green root ginger and two stalks of celery. Saute this in a frying pan over a hot fire, adding four tablespoonfuls of olive oil, one table spoonful of vinegar, half a cupful of boiling water, one teaspoonful of worcestershire sauce, half a teaspoon ful of' salt, black and red pepper to taste and a dash of cloves and cinna mon. When nearly done, add a small can of' mushrooms, half a cupful of ei ther bean sprouts or French green peas or string beans chopped fine or aspara gus tips. The see-yu sauce which is eaten with this delectable dish can be procured at any Chinese grocery." Be Prepared. Daniel Webster once told a friend that his great speech in reply to Hayne, which is the high water mark of mo'dern eloquence, but which at the time was supposed to have been deliv ered without preparation, had been substantially prepared long before. When called upon suddenly to reply to the fiery Carolinian's attacks. which so alarmed the New Englanders at the capital, he . was entirely at ease and ready for the fray, for, as he said, he had "only to turn to his notes tucked away in a pigeonhole," and refresh his recollection. "If Hayne," he said. "had tried to make a speech to fit my notes, he could not have hit them better. No man is inspired by the occasion. I never was." KITCHEN HELPS. Use a pancake lifter to place cookies on the baking tin. and to remove them. To clarify fat after frying throw in a few slices of raw potato and simmier all for a few minutes. Grease spots that have become bard and burned in on ranges may be re moved by rubb~ng with a few drops of kerosene on a cloth. Sometimes the fishy smell wvili cling. to knives and forks after oily fish like salmon or mackerel has beep served. Cut a lemon, rub them with it. and the disagreeable odor will vanish. Sometimes a large roasting pan, be lg infrequently used, gets rusty. To prevent wash it well after using, dry it in the oven, then while warm rub it over with a greased cloth and hang it away. Old newspapers save work in the kitchen. When you have any "messy" task on hand,- like dressing a chicken, pckling over fruit, etc., lay a paper on the table, gather the litter up with it and burn all together. This saves scouring the table. Why He Renewed Is Youth. "Why, Brother Dickey. I hardly knew you, you're looking so young and spry! What's up now?"

Three heats and twice round NAPOLE&WS ORDER. e THE LEGION OF HONOR AND HOW e IT WAS FOUNDED. t Delsite the Ridicule the Project at First Invited its Inauguration Proved That Napolcon Knew French Human Nature. France owes the Legion of Honor to t Napoleon. All orders of chivalry had c been abolished by the revolution and t had left a gap which it was not easy to s fill. "They are mere geegaws," said I Monge, the chemist, who had taught th) revolutionists how to make gun powder out of plaster of paris. "Gee gaws, if you will," the first consul an swered, "but people like them. Let us t approach the question frankly. All It men are enamored of decorations the French more than any. They posi tively hunger for them. and they have always done so." C This was at Malmalson in 1802. In May the conseil d'etat was invited to consider the project of the institution of the Legion of Honor. It was ridi culed by many, notably by Moreau, who as victor of Hlohenlinden was bit terly jealous of the victor of Marengo. At a dinner party he sent for his cook r and said to him in the presence of his guests: "Michel. I :ini pleased with your dinner. You have indeed distin guished yourself. I will award you a saucepan of honor." Mine. de Stael I was also satirical upon the subject. "Ah, one of the decorated?" she used to ask each guest who was shown into 1 her salon. But Napoleon had gauged human na ture correctly. His Legion of Honor did meet a felt want. and it was defi nitely inaugurated on July 14, 1804. Among the eminent men of science and men of letters on whom it was then bestowed were included Laplace. the mathematician; Lalande, the as tronomer; Cuvier, the naturalist, and Legouve, the poet. The most notable name omitted was that of Bernardin de St. Pierre, just then in disgrace for championing Mime. de Stael. whom Na pleon had banished, but -he got the decoration later on the entreaty of Queen Hortense. After Jena Goethe was decorated. A little later high promotion in the order was given to General Lamarque, to whom Sir Hudson Lowe had surrender ed at Capri. "What did you do with him?" asked Napoleon. "The king of I Naples bad him exchanged for a Nea pIlitan general who was a prisoner In Sicily." "Very well: there is no harm ' in letting this English colonel go. He is: not dangerous." it seems not un- t likely that Sir Hudson Lowe remem- I bered this sarcasm when he was Na poleon's jailer a few years afterward. After Napoleon's downfall the ques tion-of suppressgg.theLegion of Hon or arose- .Chateaubriand,.wbom.Napo leon had not decorated, strongly urged its abolition. So did Puzzo di Borgo. Marshals Victor, Marmont and Mac- I donald opposed. After debate it was I decided to recognize and retain the or- I der, not on any high moral or patriotic grounds, but because Louis XVIIL could not afford to make himself more unpopular than he was already by stripping people of their decorations. Chateaubriand and Lamnartine consent ed to accept the red ribbon, but it was also conferred upon a great number of worthless personages and so brought into contempt., There have been many Legion of t Honor scandals since those days, but one of them surpasses all the others in R magnitude. This is, of course, the Wil son scandal, the history of which', though intricate, Is worth recalling. C The trouble may be said to have be- s gun on the day on which Mlle. Aliee a Grevy fell in love with an opera singer C who need not be mentioned here. He t wanted to marry her, and she wanted 1 to marry him, and the papers were be- ( ginning to couple the two names In a manner most embarrassing to the pres ident of the republic. The president, however, sent the opera singer about his business and found his daughter another husband, not a very good hus band, but the best husband he could procure on the spur of the moment. His choice fell upon M. Daniel Wilson;, who had long been one of M. Grevy's political supporters an~d was a financier of some mark. No sooner was M. Wilson established at the Elysee than he proceeded to en rich himself by varlouis means. Among other things, he founded a paper called Le Moniteur de l'Exrposition Univer selle, which really covered a traffc in decorations. The whole story came out in a state trial toward the end of 1887. It was proved that- Wilson had made a regular practice of selling the Legion of Honor, or, rather, of invit ing people who wanted it to bribe him 1 to use his influence to obtain it for them. His overturea were presented through hIs jackals, Generals d'Aud an and Cafferel anad Mines. Limousin I and Ratazzi, and the whole party hadI to stand in the dock together. Wilson was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, a fine of 3,000 francs and five years' deprivation of civil rights. He appealed, and the court of cassation annulled the judgment. The accused, said the judges, was obvious ly guilty of everything that he was < charged with, but as his offenses werea not anticipated by any punitive law he I could not be punished. So he retired to the country and tried to live down his bad name. As ae ultimately got himself elected conseiller general, one must suppose that he succeeded in this object.-Pall Mall Gazette.

The incident was this: Two great ar mies, one wearing the blue and one the gray, were di;awn up in prepara tion for battle. As the evening fell the bands began to play. "Dixie" by the southerners was followed by "Yankee Doodle" by the northerners, and "Ma ryland. My Maryland." drew out "Hall Columbia." "Beautiful Girl of the South" was answered by "Just Before the Battle. Mother." Each side mock ed, and jeered the other's music and cheered their own until the stars came out and silence fell. .Then, sweet and low. a band far up the line began to play "Home. Sweet Home." Another and another joined until all the bands on both sides were playing in unison. and, stronger and more beautiful still, the men on both sides were singing the words. The common chord had been struck. and the thousands of combatants were at one with the sentiment "There's no place like home." The Example of Pagaulni.
