An Incident of the Old Days Off th . Cape of Good Hope. American vessels In tliu.si dn.vs tlS33i lurpussed the tmiline records of ship of evry other nation.' Owe when down nearly to the lutltude of the Cuk of (ioort Hope we encountered the most severe Utile of our outward hound voy a pro. A niountiilnoiw sea wan hoavlnt in from the south, and the wind, which bail originally come from that illrec t!on. was now blowing directly from the wont with hurricane force. High an the Washington stood above the water. occasional crests would sweep her main deck aud she steered. so hard that. I had to keep two men continually at too wheel and have them relieved ev try half hour. The wind, however, was fair, and therefore every man on the ship, from Captain L. to the cook's boy, would have felt disgraced had the order beeu given to heave the ship to. Under dou ble reefed topsails and fore course she was logging upward of sixteen knots. and all hands were as pleased as if they had just been granted a week's shore leave at New York. Later In the day, when the wind had moderated somewhat, we sighted a large British bark hove to under short canvas.' She was flying distress sig nals, so Captain L. ordered the wheel put up and ran down to have a look at her. As soon as our signals could be clearly seen he asked what she want ed, and the bark replied with a request to stand by. Captain L. then, ran up flags demanding if the bark were in Jured or anything wrong on board. The Britisher replied again, "Stand by Do not like look of weather."- When the second mate read the meaning of this signal out of tbe code book a great laugh went up in our cabin, and Captain L. replied with flags reading, "See nothing wrong in this weather," and hoisted the Ameri can ensign above tbe signal in order to give point to his remark. No doubt the British captain said, "Another of those crazy Yankees!" when he read our flags, but we were, in Batavla a week before he appeared.

An Early Postal Experiment. As long ago as the seventeenth cen tury the attempt was made to prepay letters by using stamps. In 1653 Paris tried a system that een provided pil lar boxes for the letters, which were to have a billet, price 1 sol. attached to the letter or parcel. The experiment met the usual experience of the pio neerridicule. Mice were dropped Into the letter boxes, and when the letters came to be collected it was found that tbe animals bad made a hearty meal of them. As nobody could be sure of the fate of the parcels, the experiment came to a sudden end. Maeterlinck on the Future. Maeterlinck In his book called "Le Mort" says of the mystery of the after death that outside of the religions there are four Imaginable solutions and no more. These are total annihila tion, survival of our consciousness of today, survival without any sort of consciousness, survival with universal consciousness or with a consciousness different from that which we possess In this world.
