HE ZAVED THE SCOW
A CLEVER BIT OF STRATEGY !N AN
ENGINEERING JOB.
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.

Praying and Prinking.
Sam Jones. the revivalist, was once
taking women to task f or spending
more time In prinking than in praying.
I there's a woman here,' he scream
ed finally, "who prays more than she

One poor old faded specimen of fem

prinking?" asked the preacher, taking
her all in.

"For Ways That Are Dark," rmte.
"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.

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.

Burns and scalds.
In cases of burns or scalds, when
the skin is unbroken, cover the burn
with white lead paint, glycerin, fresh

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 Common Chord.
James Buckbam. one of our minor
poets, put into beautiful verse an Iucl
dent which occurred during the civil
war. He calls it "The Common Chord."
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.
A story is told of how Paganini -once
came into the concert room, took the
vilin andtouched the strings. First
one string broke. and a smile went
round the. room: -then -another string
broke, and there was more audible ex
pression of mockery. When a third
string broke, many people laughed out
right at his discomfiture. But Paga
nini stood forth' with his violin as
though nothing had happened and
played on the one string, and the peo
ple ceased to smile. but 4stened spell.

A Point of Order.
One of the conspicuous features in
the decorations of a certain official
building is a full length portrait of
eorge Washington. Being just .be
hind the speaker's chair, it is in full
sight of everybody who rises to speak.
During a heated discussion, which in
olved the honor of the state and na
tion, a member rose and, pointing to
the portrait, began in oratorical style.

Then he was interrupted by a mem

Of Course She Was Glad.
"So you overcame that old antipathy

called on Mrs. Bobbles?"
"Yes."
"Do you think she was~ glad to see
you?'
" am sure or it."
"Ahem! You must have some reason
for that belief outside of her assur

"I have. I had on the old dress that
