ccpting, of course, such as is neces-
sary for trimming sail, says tlio Now
York World. At 5:30 the order is j
given to "wash down." The men j
take brooms and buckets along, two I
men go to the pump, and then be-
gins the first work of the day, plenty j
of water being used, and those with ,
brooms scrubbing the deck as they |
go from the poop to tho fo'c's'le ,
head. The scrubbing is done with a
thoroughness that would shame the
best housewives.
By 7 o'clock the decjc has beon
washed down, after which' various
ropes that have been put out of the
way during the operation are coiled
down clear for any emergency, for
one of tho most important things on
ship board is that every rope should
be in s-uch a shape that when it is
lot go it should run without getting
any kinks in it, which in some cases
might have rather disastrous conse-
quences.
Meanwhile at seven bells (7:80)
the watch below had been called to
get broakfast. Jack's breakfast,
even in the best of ships, is far from
elaborate. It generally consists of
coffee without milk, "hard tack,"
and i-craps of meat left over from tho
previous day's dinner.
Jack is now off duty till noon.
After he has had his breakfast ho
generally has some little odds and
ends of things to do for himself, and
they keep him busy until about 10
o'clock, when he turns in and sleeps
till 11:30, his dinner hour. At 12
o'clock he is on deck again till I
o'clock. The four hours' time from
4 p. m. to 8 p. m. is divided into two
watches known as "dog watches,"
though the dog watch is always
reckoned as the watch from G to 8.
When all the men arc together they
go in for their skylarking, ''tusicand
dancing, and have a good time gen-
erally. This is the time when Jack
is seen at his best, when his spirits
are at the highest, when he is con-
genial and has not a word to say
against anybody, not even the cook,
who may have spoiled the dinner
that day.
The object of this division is to
make an even number of watches to
the twenty-four hours, so that thero
will be a daily cliungo; for example,
the watch that goes below one day at
noon will the next day come on deck
at that hour. At :8i) he has supper
and at fi he is ou duty once more. At
8 he goes below to sloep till mid-
night, when ho has again to bo on
duty till 4 o'clock.
This is a fair specimen of tho mo-
notony of tho sailor's at sea. Ex-
cept for the changii he weather
occasionally and for . ,'ht differ-
ence in the work that ias to bo done,
one day is exactly like another, with
tho same faces around, the same out-
look on the broad ocean, the same
food—in all things with a sameness
that is monotonous in tho extreme.
Jack is nothing if not a grumbler,
a reputation he has had in all agos.
Chronic complaining about every-
thing and evorybody seems to be his
one great amusement. Of course
thero is always some ground for this.

"Uncle I.emmie's particular thorn
in the liesh was a grass widow, ag-
gressive from her hoad to her feet
"Her nose stuck straight out
threatoningly, her hair bristled up
from her forehead, she walkod like a
steam engine, and when sho walked
every loop of her bonnet ribbon
shook. The very sight of her to
Uncle Lemmie was like the waving of
a red flag to a bull.
"It happened that they went to the
same church, but the ushers knew
the situation well enough to have a
goodly portion of the sanctuary be-
tween them.
"Unfortunately the Sunday I
preached there was a new usher.
The opening services were well under
way. Uncle Lemmie was there in
pew by himself. Ho was leaning on
the umbrella and was looking at me
with complacence. I was just about
to announce my text when down the
aisle came the new usher, and in his
wake the grass widow, to Uncle Lem-
inio'a pew.
"Uncle Lemmie gave one look ai
the figure rustled into the pew
gathered up bis umbrella, his hat
and his prayerbook and cleared the
back of the pew in the front of him
with the agility of a boy. I never
had such difficulty in announcing
text, for when Uncle Lemmie landed
in the front pew my words rang out
across the church:
" -There hath no evil befallen you
but such as is common to man, but

make a way of escape.'"
A Grand Affair.
The following authoritative state-
ment concerning the authoress of "The
Heavenly Tivins" will be read with
interest: Saruh Grand has been so
pestered by wild shots in the press to
prove that her name is anything but
Sarah Grand that - he desires to make
a uublic and definite statement, con-
cerning herself. Her name is Sarah
Grand, not "Sarah Grand;" her
Christain name is Sarah, spelled with
an h; her surname is Grand—to read
Sarah Grand. There is no deep or
subtle mystery either in Sarah or
(■rand. She appreciated the desire of
her press to cast a halo of romance
oveo her name, but she is neither a
poisner not* a poseuse—she is simply
Sarah Grand, liy no other name is
she now known, nor would she like to
be known. She trusts, therefore, that
the full acceptance of this situation
by the press will be an additional
kindness added to the many she has
already received from it.—Ex.

Charles E. Michaolis, after twelve
ears' residence in the Phillipine
Islands, has returned to his native
city, says the Philadelphia Times.
Ho was an engineer on a sugar plan- '■
lation in Mindanoa, In a remote part
of tho island, und had excellent op-
portunities for studying tho wild
animals and reptiles that infest that
part of the world.
"The existence of man-eating
snakes has been doubted by natural-
ists, but I can prove tho facts from
my own experience. In 1880 1 was

servants was a short, broad-slioul-

the younger lady was so far from

tho lord chamberlain to ask if tho

that the younger might have a bet-

Humane Dritinh CJlrlhoock
A stag hunt was in progress the
other dav at Exmoor in England, and
the terrified animal finally became
very hard pressed. He tore over hill,
dale and common, and finally, in a
very headlong fashion, took refuge in
tho dining room of one Dr. Budd. Two
young feminine Budds were being
served with dinner at tho moment the
ltag plunged in. Their unexpected
visitor backed up against the side-
board and faced the pack of hounds,
<vho had promptly followed him in.
The hunters came up in a moment,
callod off their dogs, secured the deer
by a rope, and dragged him out tp re-
ceive his coup de grace outside. The
Misses Budd, instead of fainting or
having hysterics, professed themselves
delighted with the adventure and in-
sisted on the huuters Btaying to din-
ner, which they did.

man named Mason und their native
tracicers. I took to tho woods to look
for our lost servant. The natives
lead us to tho edge of a track of sub-
merged land, covered with long
grass. Tho water was about throe
inches deep. Here in the mud was
the track of a big snake. The de-
pression made by tho body in tho
mud was quite eighteen inches wide.
Suddenly one of the mon called out:
•• -Sook! sook' (look! look!) Three |
hundred yards away tho water was
agitated into waves and gliding to-
wards us was a yellow snako that
looked 100 feet long. Tho head was
as large as a bucket. It was a bright
yellow sjtriped with black. To watch 1
it gliding towards us was trying on i
tho nerves, but we waited and at
forty yards gave it two loads of buck-
shot in tho head. It reared ten feot
out of the water and lashed about,
but finally sank and tho natives
hauled it on the bank with a rope,
lt was just thirty-eight foot long—
our foars had added tho other sixty.
To keep it from t'no white ants it
is at once cut open and skinned.
Inside was tho lower jaw of a human
being and a log and thigh bone,
while a loin cloth was rolled into a
perfect knot no bigger than a man's
fist, and this I'icul's sis tors identified,
so the poor follow had fallen a victim
to this horrid reptile.
Of all tho people under tho sun
the tourist Englishmen arc certainly
the most eccentric. A gentleman
named Howard has been exploring
the northern part of Mindanao for
five years, and his spocialty is snakes.
No matter how venomous, ho will
take them up and they seem to bo-
come inert and harmless in his hands.
One day ho came into our warehouse,
and after somo conversation put his
hand in his jacket pocket, and saying,
I have here a curious snako, vo'-y
strangely marked,' pulled out a chain
viper, as Hat as a ribbon—ono of tho
most venomous of tho snakos of the
Archipelago. He handled it like a
piece of tape, although its curious
opalescent eyes fairly glared. In two
seconds he had the place to himself.
The Chinese were much afraid of
him and always got out of his way.
For two years he had, with a large
party of native hunters, been looking
for a hugo serpent that was seen fre-
quently in a large tract of wet land
about 100 miles north of our planta-
tion. It was known to have killed
cattle and several hunters wore miss-
ing. The track had been seen and
described as largo as that made by
dragging a hogfhead through tho
mud. After two months' search, ono
day tho snake was seen gliding
through tho wator. Howard and his
men were quickly on tho trace, and
after a day's march through tho pes-
tilential swamps camo to a place
whore a number of palm trees had
boon overthrown by the wind, and
under those the snake lay hidden.
After a careful search ono of the
hunters discovered it. and pointing
out tho heau to Mr. Howard, he was
enabled to put a riilo ball in tho
right place. Shot through tho hoad
it was ten hours dying and one man
was badly injured by a lash of its
tail. It measured forty-nino feet two
inches and the skin was so wide that
I had no troublo in wrapping myself
in it.
"Thanks to Mr. Howard, tho
crocodiles in our river wore almost
exterminated. They had killed
twelve poople in tho village. I saw
ono twenty-two feot long. Mr.
Howard's plan was to inako a small
raft of cano and fasten a duck on it,
und sot lt alloat on tho rivor. I'ho
bird would quack, and suddenly
a hugo head would emerge from the
water, and the iron jaws clash,
takirtg in the raft and all. Howard
was an excellent shot, using an
Express ritlo and sholl bullet, and
never failed to hit. Tho oxplosion
of tho bullot gonerally blow tho head
to ploces, and In a few minutes tho
body of tho murderous roptile wbuld
tloat, belly up, on the wator.

The Mild-Cow Seems to Have an Omni-
verou* Appetite.
Most people are probably of tho
opinion that tho goat and the ostrich
rank highest as omnivorous animals.
It is not so gonerally known, how-
ever, that a cow takes often very
curious things into her stomach.
Tho United States department of
agriculture gave space in its exhibits
in tho government building to a col-
lection of various objects which have
been taken from the stomachs of cat-
tle killed for beef at tho stockyards.
Tho most araa'.ing of these objects is
the iron tooth of a hugo hay rake,
Mich as is drawn by two horsos upon,
tho Western prairies. This iron
tooth is curvod, and is four feet
eight inches long, by about a quarter
of an inch thick, lt was taken from
| the stomach of a Texas steer, which
j was to all external appearances in
the best of health when killod.
From tho stomach of another Texas
: steor was taken an iron bolt thirtoon
and a half inches long by five-eighths
! of an inch thick. In a rather small
cow wore found objects as follows:
Ono masonic omblom, one dime,
! one copper cent, two watch rings,
j ono fingor ring and a number of
j stones. In another cow'3 stomach
wore found one silver dollar, ono silver
, watch chain, ono brass hair-pin, a
■ door-knob and sovon nails or pieces
| of nails. One of the most curious
I features of this remarkable collection
j is a lot of twonty-threo hair balls.
These were all found in tho stomach
of a Texas cow which was butch-
ored at the Chicago stock yards
only a short time ago. When
sho was killod tho animal was
in good hoalth but small. Sho
weighed when drosBod for beef
1)50 pounds. Theso hair 1 alls aro
each a perfectly solid, hard, circular
mass. Tho largest ono is fivo inchos
in diametor, and tho smallest about
an inch and a half. The balls are
formed by the animal licking Itself.
The hair comes oft' and adheres to
the tongue, lt is then swallowed,
and onco in the stomach is rolled up
and compressed into the globular
mass described.
Charlotte Corday's Last Portrait.
A most interesting anecdote of
Charlotte Corday has seen the light,
apropos of the contonary of Marat's
execution. Whilo Charlotto was on
her trial she saw an artist sketching
hor portrait and she turned hor face
around so as to give him a better
view. After her condemnation she
gave him a sitting in tho prison that
he might finish his work, and when
he had been thus engaged about two
hours a tap was hoard on the door
and tho executioners entered. The
victim turned pale, but was self-pos-
sessed, and sho cut off a long lock of
hair with si-issors and gave it to tho
artist, asking him at the same time
to send a replica of her portrait to
her family. This was done. Tho
artist was a German named Ilauor,
and tho story comes from his daugh-
ter-in-law, who is still living. The
lock was afterward lost. The por-
trait hangs at Versailles. ,
Rtrange Bedfellows.
Rather a striking illustration of
how trado and money getting make
strange bedfellows is furnished by
tho Jaffa-Jerusalem railway. The
concossiou for tho railway was ob-
tained by a native of Jerusalem, it
was built by a French company,
while tho engines and carriages,
manufactured in the United States,
run over rails made in Belgium, and
tho most remunerative part of the
passenger traffic is drawn from
British tourists.
We Did Not Always Shake Hands.
The English and American custom
of handshaking first camo into fash-
ion, it is said, in the time of Henry

tho kiss were in vogue, a relie of an
anciont oriental method of greeting.

"Everything went off very smooth-
