I was while the negro ronis was on board the ship Vigil:n e to Cuban September. I, that a storm. says the Kansas City tr cr(onverted a score of boisterous cr'p iames into a fervent religious meecting. The Twenty-tlird Kansas went fromu Topeka to New Ynork city and from there sailed for Cuba. There was 1o sleep onl board the Vig-ilncia the first night out. It is said that prictticall - all of the negroes who were not prns trated with sesickness were shoothin craps. The scene is described as one of mingled suffering and excitement. The distressed pleaded for quiet and res.. but were unheeded by I ie noisy gam blers. Above the cries ad moans oif the suffering such language as this could be heard in different parts of the ves sel: "It's 'leven. an' 1 know it." "Shoot de money." "Tidn't I get a coon'" "Little IDiek." Late at night. while the ganes were running high. a violent storm broke suddenly upon the sea. When the wind struck the Vigilancia a rudder was broken and she whirled round and round and then dipped down into the hollow of a mighty wave. Th shock was unexpected. and in a mo ment the soldiers were experiencing all of the horrors of a storm at sea: The negroes grabbed up the dice and loose change and huddled together like cat tle, some of them i'orring and others too frightened to utter a sound. The storm raged for an hour. the soldiers thinking that every moment would be the last. Fortunately there was a negro preacher on board. the Rev. John L. Waller. It was for him to rise to the occasion. He gathered a crowd of negroes around him and spoke thus: "Brethren, the Lord sent this storm on the heads of sinful crap shooters. If we want to be saved, let us pray." Then he dropped down on his knees and his voice was heard praying above the noise of the storm. The soldiers joined with the preach er in his prayer. In a short time lam entations. moans and promises could be heard on every hand. It was a re vival meeting in earnest. Nearly ev ery one of the S00 soldiers was either singing or praying. The whole regi ment was "converted" in a very few minutes. But the rough sea continued. The colored preacher felt that something further must be done. An inspiration came to him. 'There must be a sacri fice. "Our prayers and songs don't pre vail!" he shouted. "There's something wrong. Brethren, the dice must go into the sea:" The suggestion had only to be made. The dice were tossed into the angry waters, about 500 pairs. Some of the negroes also threw in the money which they had won with the dice. In half an hour after the dice went the storm abated.

Then he urged them all to remain steadfast. Nothing was said about crap shoot ing during the rest of the voyage. Shortly after the soldiers landed in Cuba there was a pay day. Then it was that a backslider tried to borrow some dice, but not a single pair could be found -in the regiment. They had all been consigned to the sea. - This was a condition that could not last. An ingenious negro soldier stole an ivory billiard ball from a Cuban pool hall and whittled out a pair of dice. He sold them for $12. A FRANC FOR A LIFE. Exciting Adventure With a Moslem Fanatic In Algcria. Near the western end of Ouar in a lonely street (for most of the men were sleeping from 12 to 3 during the heat of the day) I met a tall, stalwart Riffi from thegmountains, writes Rev. W. G. Pope, who was a missionary in Algeria. Accosting him with the usual Arabic salutation. I asked him if he could read. He answered, -No." "Where do you live?" "In the mountain, twenty miles west." "Have you a sheik who can read?" "Yes." "Then will you please take him this book, with my 'greetings, and ask him to read it to you all?" "'What it is-a Koran?" "No; the story of the life of the Messiah." He then turned and asked if I was a follower of the Messiah, to which i answered, "Yes." Then arose his Moslem fanaticism, for he was an Aissaoua, a terribly fanatical section of the Moslems in Morocco. Drawing his knife and holding it over me, he uttered one word, "Sha hied!" (witness), meaning that I was to say, with my forefinger raised, 'There Is no God but Allah, and Mo hammed is the prophet of Allah." I felt white, but tried to look cour agoeous and unconcerned. I remon strated with him. for so acting with his Aniel's guest, but all to no pur pose. He reiterated his one word, "Shahed!" His knife was an ugly weapon. It looked like a piece of sharpened barrel hoop with two pieces of goat's horn fastened together to make a handle. Knowing the Arab's love of an Eng lish knife, I asked him if his knife was an English one. He answered that he had made it himself. Remenrbering that In one pocket I had a franc in silver and coppers and in the other a French louis, I deter mined to buy the knife if possible. Taking out my small change, I de cided to try that first. I referred to the fact that the English were very proud of their -knives and I would much like to take back to my country a Moroccan knife to show what others could do and offered to purchase It. The sight of the French coppers and a glistening piece of silver was too much even for his fanaticism. He un did his leather sheath, restored the knife to its place, looked once up and down the street to see no one was look ing. then, with apparent joy, exchanged the knife for the money and the book and went off happy.

The Philosopher's Famous Experlifle as Described by 4imself. The famous kite experiment Is de ,cribed by Franklin in a letter dated Oct. 19, 1752: "Make a small cross of light sticks of cedar, the arms so long as to reach to the four corners of a large. tiNu silk handkerchief when ex tended. Tie the corners of the hand kerchief to the extremities of the cross, so you have the body of a kite, which. being properly .accommodated with a tall, loop and string, will rise in the air like those made of paper, but be Ing made of silk is better fitted to bear the wet and wind of a thunder gust without tearing. To the top of the up right stick of the cross is to be fixed a very sharp gointed wire rising a foot or more above the wood. TO the end of the twine next the hand is to be tied a silk ribbon, and where the sHk and twine join a key may be fastened. This kite is to be raised when a thun der gust appears to be coming on, and the person who holds the string must stand within a door or window or un der some cover, so that the silk ribbon may not be wet, and care must be tak en that the twine does not touch the frame of the door or window. As soon as the thunderclouds come over the kite the pointed wire will draw the electric fire from them, and the kite, with all the twine, will be electrified and stand out every way and be at tracted by an approaching finger. And when the rain has wet the kite and twine you will find the electric fire stream out plentifully from the key on the approach of your knuckle." OLD TIME THEATERS. The Way House and Stage Were Lighted In Garrick's Time. It must have often struck people when reading of the performances In the eighteenth century how-it was that the lightning was contrived. The pow er of oil lamps was limited enough. Theaters like Drury Lane and Covent Garden were of enormous size. There were no footlights, at least until about the middle of the eighteenth century, and they were the humble "floats," dim enough. Yet there was ample light to observe expression and play of fea tures. so necessary in interpreting the fine old comedies of character. Now adays the stage is one blaze. It is lit erally bathed and suffused in light There are no shadoWs, and yet it might be said the amount of necessary light is no more than there used to be and Is not nearly as satisfactory. How was it then?. In the theaters of Garrick and earlier days the stage was really lit by four great chandeliers, which hung directly over the heads of the actors from the arch of the proscenium and just out side the curtain. When the play was over, these were lowered slowly, a'sig al for the audience to depart. These chandeliers furnished a goodly amount of light on a circular zone immediately below them. The actors' faces and fig ures were lit in the natural way, as the sun would light them,'but the rest of the stage was comparatively dark or gloomy.-Blackwood's. W. R. Ward, of Dyersburg, Tenn., writes: "This is to certify that I have ised Orino L'axative Fruit Syrup for hronic constipation,, and it has proven without a doubt to be a thorough, prac ical remedy for this trouble, and it is with pleasure I offer my conscientious eference."

In the estimation of trappers and voyaeurs of eastern North America as well as in the eyes of the vary rich nobility of Russia and Siberia there is only one king of' beasts, and the name of this beast is the big and gadiantly shining black fox, whIch roifms over the cold and barren hills that stretch from east of the Penobscot river in Maine. through New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and..skipping the mouth of the St. Lawrence river, extend in diminishing hummocks through west ern Labrador and end in the hillocks and Laurentian formations which sur round Hudson bay. Those who seek the choicest and most expengive furs known to man and who will pay any price for what they want must go to the bleak coast line of eastern North America for what they want and may have to wait for years to secure pelts that will match perfectly with other skins which are to go toward making up a set, for. the black for of North Amern a-le reynard noir of the French hunters - wears the most valuable overcoat of any animal on earth. As a rule, about five perfect pelts from black foxes are captured every year, and of these three are bought by the great Hudson Bay Fur company or its 'tributary associations. Though Maine alone furnishes more than 70,000 foskins every year and though near ly 5,000 active men spend most of the winter in trapping and poisoning foxes and other animals for their furs, only twice in the run of twelve months are the combined efforts of these indi vidual hunters able to secure a black In no way except in color does the black fox differ from its congener, the red fox, whose pelt sells for $3.50, or from the gray fox, whose overcoat is valued at from $150 to $400. but when ever a hunter can secure a black fox and remove its skin without marring the fur he is as sure of receiving from $800 to $1,500 for his trophy as if he had the money in his hand. Not only is every black fox pelt bought as soon as taken, but a dozen Russian noble men have paid agents traveling in North America all through the winter, seeking out remote hillside farms~and abandoned logging camps, where It is possible that a shy and elusive black fo may have been seen.--Chicago Rec ord-Herald.

Heartburn and Sour Stomach are caused by an acid or sour condition- of the stomach. Quick relief is obtained from these distressing symptoms of indigestion by taking one or two tablets when needed. Taken regularly after meals they tone and strenghten the stomach and enable it to digest the food and prevent fermentation, which is the cause of heartburn and sour stomacb. Sold and guaranteed by Dr. W. E Brown & Co. WOUND DISEASES. The Effect Produced When One Is Hit by a Bullet. A New York surgeon who saw serv ice in/Cuba and the Philippines as a volunteer in his profession was discuss ing the subject of bullet wounds when he was asked, "What makes a man die when he's bit by a bullet?" "There are three reasons," he replied s.-"shock, hemorrhage and blood poi soning. A bullet cuts its way through skin, muscle, nerve, bone an&T artery. Then the wounded man falls to the ground. That's nature's little plan, you know, for getting him on his back and relieving the heart of the heavy wdrk of forcing blood against gravity into the brain." "What happens when he gets a bul let through his brain?" "Dies generally. If the bullet Is -a Mauser, however, and if its velocity be great enough, It is quite apt to pass clear through the skull, piercing the. bone plate on one side, traversing the intervening brain and breaking out through the other side without killing. I attended a number of such cases dur ing the war in Cuba. "You see, if these bullets are travel ing at a high rate of speed they cut through bone as clearly as does a tre phine saw, leave no splinters In their wake, destroy very little tissue and cut their way zeatly through the side. In fact, It Is an injury and a surgical op eration all in one." "Why are lung wounds so serious?' the surgeon was next asked. "Is the brain not as vital as the lungs?" "Quite. But when a man is shot through the lungs a~ number of big blood vessels are cut, and he dies from loss of blood. Or the blood pours into the fine network of the lungs and the victim. dies of pneumonia, just as he would do if he caught a chill. As .a matter of faae,- wound -diseases, in the majority of instances, are merely well known diseases suddenly' and violently induced. "Shoot a man through the head, and if he outlives the shock he dies as he would do from apoplexy or inflmma tion of the brain. Shoot -him through the heart, and he dies from the same pathological cause as if he had rup tured aneurism of the heart. If it Is an abdominal wound, the man would plob ably die of peritonitis, resulting from the release of the stomach contents into the cavity. In such a case death would be due to the same cause as In some cases of ulcer in the stomach. Such a patient would die from blood poisoning." "What's the danger in flesh wounds?" "Septic, poisoning mainly, and the seveing of any importknt artery." "What about flesh wounds In the thigh?" "Well, a man might lileed to death in side of five miniutes If his "femoral ar try were cut" "What of the hole where the -bullet went in and the other where It camne out?" "With the average r'evolver bullet that Is, the 32 caliber-they are too small to matter much. They are only dangerous Inlets for poisoning mate rial. As to bone Injuries, a rifle bullet in full flight may nick a bone wthout seriously~ damagIng 'it, but in' 'kost cases, as with the 38 caliber revolver bullet, the bone Is badly splintered, and there's nothing for it but amputa tion. No milder course has yet been effectve."-New York Press. Wheo~ Dickens Was Reporting. There Is no doubt that Charles Dick ens when In Bath on a reporting ex ploit picked up the name of Sriodgrass, as he did so much else. immediately afterward introduced into the pages of "Pickwick," writes a correspondent of the London Chronicle. ~ Alexander Snodgrass was mine host of the Raven In Quiet street from 1826 (if not earlier). until about the year 1832, when he moved to the Caledonlan tavern in Trim street There he lived, and there he died, in May, 1853, at the age of fifty-nine and was laid to his rest in that -famous little burial ground on the heights of Lansdown, of which the tomb of Beckford, the eccentric author of "Vathek," is the central monument. In the same graveyard lie Elizabeth Snodgrass (she was a milliner), died August, 1850, and Robert Snod-grass, probably son of Alexander, who died in 1852. Dickens was in Bath in the early thirties. "I could choke the Chronicle with notes on Dickenslan Bath," threatens the correspondent. "Only this morning I was assured that the prototype .of Barnaby Rtudge was a Bath-tradesmian of the same name, who is well remem bered and whose grandson carries on business still, and we all know that Little Nell was a little Bath Nell." Afraid to Risk It. - When the Hon.. Beverly Tucker, min ister to the court of St. James, was presented to Queen Victoria she indi cated that he be seated by that slight motion of her plump hand which -all England obeyed. Tucker was portly and heavy, and the only available-chair was fragile and small. He appeared not to notice the invitation. A moment later it was -repeated, for even at that first interviw began the queen's lik ing for Minister Tucker, which ripened into suca an intimate friendship as no other American ever enjoyed with her maj'sty. Still the weakness of things terestrial was more potent than the finger of Victoria, and Tucker again igored the command. Theni the queen put It In words, when Tucker, with a profound bow, replied: "Your majesty, I never sit in the presence of royalty." "I 'iccept the compliment at your hands,'" replied the queen, "and now you must ecept comfort at mine." "Comfort!" exclaimed Mr. Tucker. "Why, I should break both my back and your majesty's chair if I attempt ed to sit in it!"-Lippincott's Magazine Remarkable Rescue. That truth is stranger than fiction, has once more been demonstrated in the little town of Fedora, Tenn., -the residence of C. V. Pepper. He writes: "I was in bed, entirely disabled with hemorrhages of the lungs and throat. Doctors failed to help me, and all hope had fled when I began taking Dr. Kings New Discovery. Then instant relief came. The coughing soon ceas sed: the bleeding diminished rapidly. and in three weeks I was able to go to work."
