Vfa rom wave to wave, and the
-till wind Mill blew ateadlly from
the south. Now and then
a team rattled along the
rXtftjJ bluff, and a fain whleti of a
1 ateamer ecrox-d across the
water. Many schooners and aloupa and
mailer boat a of every aort dotted the
sound.
About a mile frcm shore a little
two-mat.l sharpie waa beating close
up Into the wind. IU sails drew full,
and the wavea rippled under Its bow.
Tom Lojkarby eat In the stern, wilh
one hand on the tiller and the other
braced behind him, hla duck trousers
shining tn the aunilght and his blue
tennis shirt setting off a tanned and
handsome face and big brown hands.
Tom hoi learned to sail nearly as
aoon aa he took off kilts, and uaed to
tip over almost dally, to the perpet
ual terror of bis dear mother and the
great disgust of the old sailors whose
boats be borrowed. His capwilng
days were long alnc over now, but
Tom still loved this quiet, do-lt-all-roursefl
sailing. He would tack about
for hours in his neat little sharpie,
alone with his pipe and bis thoughts
and his castles tn Spain, soothed by
tba sound of the wavea beating against
the boat, the soft wind blowing tn his
face, and the beautiful things around
him. Ho loved ft all; it was so restful.
so quiet, so beautiful.
And today he sat stretched over the
eat enjoying this beauty and quiet.
He seemed wholly to have forgotten
the girl opposite him. But she did not
mind his apparent indifference and
waa looking out over the water, quite
aa content jd and happy as Tom.
They have known each other for years;
o there was silence. Tom watched the
tops of his sails aa though he saw his
Spanish castles there, and Rosalind
Mtued out over the water at the
ohoocers dotting the horizon. I won
der and you would have done so, too,
if you had seen them I wonder how
Tom kept his eye fastened so Intent
ly on the tips of hia sails, when, with
out turning his head, ha might have
looked at such an extremely pretty
girt aa Rosalind Lome; a tall girl with
oft brown hair and a face that was
attractive, not only because beautiful
to look at, but regular in feature and
charming in complexion, but because
there seem?d to be so much beneath
the surface, suoh meaning depth to
those grey eyes, and such strength and
tenderness of character In every curve
and Bne. Her white duck dress and
white straw hat were rather becoming
to her, though her face and hands
were so brown. Her white paraeol
kept oft the sun.
But Tom still watched his sails as
they tacked back and forth.
At last the canvaa began to flutter a
little. Than Lockarby looked out over
the water. Near by the wavea still
danced merrily, but out by the hor
izon Tom could see a calm stretch.
"The wind Is dying away," he said;
"we'll make one more tack out to
ward the reef and then go In. I hate
to cull, you know."
Rosalind looked over at him. "This
to your last sail, isn't it? I'm sorry
you have to go back to the city to
morrow. How hot It must be therel
I shall miss you," she added. "You
are pretty good company, after all,
though we always do disagree so."
Tom looked up, or. rather down, from
Ills sail-ends. "MUss me! Oh, I guess
not There (ire plenty of men hero,"
he said, with a smile.
"And I adore them all, I suppose?"
she asked, dragging her hand through
the water.
"Well, there's Blldon, the lawyer,"
Tom suggested.
"Who has a selfish old ogress or a
mother, ar.d who thinks he Is going to
be a great man one of these days," the
girl added. "He la welcome to be, I'm
sure, you know I can't bear him."
"Young Ootrox, then," Tom sug
gested.
"Who can't do anything, and doesn't
pretend to, and doesn't want to, ex
cept spend his money," Rosalind put
In.
"Well, then, how about the young
collegian, Shadford?" he persisted.
"Who tries to write poetry, and tells
us six times a day how near he came
to getting on the crew last spring and
how well he knows Caruthers, the
great pitcher. Tom," Rosalind said,
"you know I can't bear any of these
men." , Tom knew, of course.
"1 11 only mention one more," he
aid, "your friend, the professor.
"Oh, do yo moan Mr. Dundee?" the
girl asked hurriedly. Tom had taken
his eyes off his Interesting sail-tops
and was looking at her very Intently.
"Oh, he might be bearable if he were
not so frlghtly bcahful. You know I
don't like him either."
"Do I? Dundee was a great friend
of mine In college and is a much finer
fellow than you seem to want to
think," Tom remarked. '
; Rosalind said no more, but gazed out
over the waiter. The wind was grow
ing lighter; the sun hung low in the
fffcy; It was flvs o'clock.
Lockarby turned his Bharple toward
tha shore. A hundred yards away a
row-boat was gliding over the water.
It sole occupant was a largo, mus-pular-looklng
man, with a light mus
tache and a heavy rout of tan, who
managed his oars wtll.
"There goo Dundee now," Twin said.
"He 1.x ks ss though he had had a
long, hot pull; probably been over to
Plrat inland to that lovely Mis
Dookrotte," he added, with a sly look
at his companion, "If I take him In
you will try not to eat him up, won't
you, Rosalind?"
Kooallrid milled. She looked any
thing but a cannibal, tv they hailed
the oarsman; ami Dundee's skiff was
soon bubhli.g, akmg behind the larger
boat, and Duivdo perched on the side
of the sluuvlo waa carrying on a
rather dtsultury nverenUvm with
Rosalind, Turn did not seem disponed
to help tNn out any, lis still stared
at thus weather-beaten sails of his,
but he was thinking of something else,
They were nmrtitg the er now. The
wind frvwhened a ilttle, yet It waa only
a dying gasp; Tom ooukt easily see
that. Hut he swung the toottl slowly
around, nevertheless, and started out
toward the reef om'a mors, '
"Knough wind for anoher tack," he
explained.
The waves stilt rippled under the
bow; the boat bent slightly before the
breese. It was very ploasuM.
"Ham, take the tiller a minute," Tom
said when they were almost a mils
from the shore, "I want to tlx that
furefaat sprit."
Dundee tt-ok Tom's seat, and the
tatter Numbered forward to the bow of
the boat fix re the sails hid him from
view. Suddenly a splah was he,rd.
It is a simple thing to fall Into the
water. Ltvkarby found no trouble In
dtttng It most naturally.
Roaallnd and Dundee laughed unsus
pectingly at Tom's shining head at It
appeared above the surface several
yards astern, tike Nipt una stilling the
tumultuous wavea, as gam suggested,
only the "tumultuous seas" were aa
level aa a field, an I the fleet of Aeneas
was wholly lacking. Tom climbed In
to DuiuWs boat and sat there drip
ping, with his clotVa clinging to htm
in a most ludicrous manner.
"You poor, wet. olumay fellow," Ros
alind cried 'aughtng. Tvmi laughed
too. "Well, sit still." the girl went on,
"and we will take you right In."
But Tom objoeted. He wanted- to
row In, to keep from taking cold, he
said. The others very naturally
scoffed M the Idea, and Rosalind sig
nalled shyly to Tom that she did not
want to be left alone with Dundee.
Rut Tom persisted. Ho at last Bam
untied the rowboat painter and threw
It to htm. s i
The w'nd was grewlng alarmingly
light. Loekarby pulled hurriedly
away. "Dm' go out much further,
timi." he catted back, "unlen you
want to scull home," He thought
thy sejwed a trlfl more eoolable than
they had been at Aral, and he noticed
also that the m.IIs were only half
filled with wind. Tom laushed softly
as he tied his boat to the pier. j
Half an hour later Lockarby Issued
from the hotel, freshly arrayed. Mrs.!
Lwn waa standlrg on the edge of the ,
bluff. She had a telescope in her nana .
and was trjtivg to focus Hon i pretty
Utile sailboat that drifted Idly on the
calm wattr about a mile from the
alio re. Tom thought he recognlxed the
boat. He Joined Mrs. Lome and re
counted his afternoon's experience.
"I can't quite make out what they
are doing," said she, trying to look
through the telescpe again after Tom
had flniahed. "Here, you try. Are
they aculllrg? It does not kiok quite
like that to me."
Tom took the telescope. No, It did
not lok quite like they were sculling
to him, either. Where wire they, any
wwyT Rtstulliid's paranol was the
only slg.i of them Tom could see, ex
cept a smill portion of one of Dun
dee's shoulders. Tim had never real
ised how large a parasol could be.
"Come, let us go In to supper," he
said, shutting the telescope up with a
banga happy bang and orTerlng his
arm to Mrs. Lorno. "If they don't
know any bettter than to be be

will have to take the consequence
And," he added gully to himself, as he
ami Mrs. I,orae walked across the

Our excellent friend, Armand Haw

has to say of three troublous times
"We are indebted to Major Olllenple

Immensely striking Is that the skipper,
Quint In, td myotselous doctor from

Is willing to come forward and claim
the trader and fetch nr back t Kan

to the story Is ths fact that the char
terer married a chill of ths telew
Islands, upon ' whose desolate shores
Horace Hidden of Salem fts cast
many years ago and whre h spvnt
sevt.r.l years as parkhorse for the
Inhuman savsgea Rut the story of
the Golden Fleece Is lol l by ths Han
Friiiiclseo Call:
The "dH tor," a clever sort of a chap
with a chin beard and a mild blue eye,
and Hmlth, tall, m'aloss and bell'ger
ent looking, ioncelved iheJIe.t of go
ing trading In '.he sou'he.-n archtpel
sgo In the year IS9I. The to rame
hre from New York and chartered
ths Golden Fleece, secured the st-r-vice
of Captain Qulntln and sailed
away to mke their fortunea.
Itoth chnrterers appeared lo have
money. Prior to setting salt they
spent It fnely and were such Jolly,
good-naturml sort of fellows that
everybody took a fancy to them.
The doctor, whose name Is ssld lo
be F.dmun'ls. claimed to be a lineal
descendant of the Duks of York, or a
distant connection of William the
Conqueror, or some other dinting
ulshed nobleman, and though some
people disbelieved all this they still
admired Kdmunds for his personal
qualifications as a gentleman and a
scholar.
Of Smith the ladles alt wers suspic
ious. He clnlmed to hall from Han
Francisco, Host on, New York and
every portion of the United Platen, ac
cording to whether the peraon with
whom he conversed was from the
north, south, east or went. He liked
the women, but the women did not
like him. He haa at last found one
who does, however, as this. story will
relate further on.
The Golden Fleece sstled with the
two nueer characters to Hong Kong.
and there she was Initiated with bad
luck by having her tar condemned.
Khe stopped st the Caroline group of
Inlands before going over, but she did
not make any money for her charter
ers.
Wright, Ilrowne & Co. refused to pay
the bills for new spars and there waa
trouble right away. The doctor and
Smfth footed the bill finally to avoid
being detained In court under heavy
expense, and after cutting a wide
path to notoriety In the Orient, they
again fitted the Fleece out as a cruiser,
The doctor had a mother or aunt who
furnldhed him with coin, and who was
one of the sureties In the chsrter. Hhe
lived In Knglsnd and It was she who
sent "Doc" coin for another expert
ment.
Just as the Fleece was about to
Mart Captain Qulntln drew KM that
was due lil in and dropped out of sight
like a twenty-dollar gold-piece In a
ure-lhlng game. He has never been
seen or heard of since, but it Is sup
posed that he headed for California
and may be there now for aught that
anyone knows,
Bnvlth said he could sail the schooner
and he did. The scheme of the traders
was to kill fish at the Pelew island
with dynamite and fetch the cargo
back to China. The Fleece cleared
and for twenty months not a line was
heard from her. Everybody thought
that she had struck a reef or been
loHt In n typhoon.
Not so. The scheme of killing fish
proved a failure. The vessel did not
move away from the Pelews. In the
meanwhile several remarkable things
happened.
The monnrch of the Pelews, cop
per-colored gliml, with live wlvea, uad
a favorite daughter, a typical belle of
the tropics, with dark dreamy eyes,
long Inshes and thick, brown hair-
just such as one reads about in nov
elM, Bmlth couldn't Impress the
belles of civilization, but he won this
child's heart conipletcly.
The king was rich in his way. The
adventurer saw an opportunity to let
tho cold world drift as it mny, and to
cast himself upon the hospitable shores
of the chief's domain, where he might
Idle away the rest of his days.
"Then," nalil he, "I will settle for life,
and marry the 0-year-old princess."
This he did.
The doctor must have become weary
with life on the Islands, for one night
he got Into a canoe, rowed over to an
HKlJuccnt island, and the next thing
that was heard of him he wns In
Paris, where he walked down tho street
pufTIng the most fragrant of Havanas
and stopped to sup in tho bonton of
the Boulevarile cafes.
All this time the Golden Fleece was
minting. No tidings came from her.
Wright, Ilrowne & Co. failed and the
firm's creditors were anxious to get
the veHsel back to Ban Francisco, for
she represented part of the assignee's
assets. Hut the Golden Fleece was
missing and she wasn't of so much
value as an asset after all,
And what became of the schooner?
Well, she is at Yohohnma now, and
that is how something Is known ol
her.
When the steamer China arrived
there she was In port and the crew
told all about tholr year or more of
ud venture.
After months of idleness at the Pe
lews Prince Smith stocked the Fleece
up with coconnuts and hardwood and
sent her away in command of a sec
ond . officer, who had remained with
the ship.
The vessel drifted about for
sixty days or more and finally reached
Yokohama, her crew half starved and
living on dried cocoanuts and hard
tack.
The men tried to sell their carao but
the thrifty Japs, knowing that the
men were In dlslrnss, refused to pur

1H)TATOnV"foH DAIRY C0W8,
Ths veterinary school ef Lyons.
France, hue been making some exper
iments In the uss of potatoes for feed
ing dairy cows, The results are hero
summarised: :
Dairy ct.ws, when deprived of all
other nourishment than potatoes
(which should ba given raw and cut)
will consume per day an averaga of
1 per cent, of their live weight, Under
ths Influence of this exclusive regi
men there whs an lnrreus In ths quan
tity of milk, snd a notable loss in live
weight; this result wns very clear and
remsrkable The ejections, which went
softlsh and whitish, coninlned some
grains of undigested ferula, and no
sugar wns found In the urine. Cooked
potatoes were more readily taken by
the cattle, but when they ware given
alone, and every other form of nourish
mmt was excluded, rumination ws
affected or stopped, and digestion wns
hindered.1 The ue of cooked potato
could not, therefore, be persist "d In.
Whether they are raw or rooked, po
tatoes Mxultl lis mixed with some
other food to constitute a convenient
ration, both from the double point nf
view of milk production and for fat
tening purposes. This mixture of ra
tions Is also favorable to the mechan
ical and chemical nets of dlseNtinn.
From observations on a lot of dulty
cows fed with a ration of which pots
toes formed the half of the total dry
matter, and on another lot where they
only formed 83 per cent, It was fulls
reci k Mined that the flrt, or larger
Humility, was clearly preferable to the
second, or smaller. From other cxpei
Intents It appeared that raw pota!"
favored ths production of milk, while
an equal uimi.tliy which had . been
cooked fattened and InTsased th
weight of the animals. l'ndr ths In
fluence of a ration of which cooked
potatoes formed the basts, the amount
of sugar In the milk was found to ilm,
but the Im irime did not continue when
the rstlon was changed.
An analysis was made weekly during
nearly four months of (I) th milk of
eight cows whose ration cottt4ued
about 44 pounds of potatoes, and (3
of another lot to which U pounils had
been given. In the first ra there was
a deeimtm of density of the proportion
of dry exlrsct and caselne; and in the
second, sn incrrsse nf butter and mm.
eral mutters. The practical ue of
then experiments on the Introduction
of the potato Into the rstl'm of tlulrv
rattle will be regulated by the fart of
the milk being sold off the fur in or
used (or butter or cbe.-e making.

A nobis grand In Idaho was elected

that of a cowboy for stealing a steer.
When the case was called the only

"As there is no counsel for tho other

The justice looked over his manual.
"A motion has to bo Beconded," ho

THE DROUGHT SUFFERERS.
During the past ftw months, Mr,
Lynde, the owner of the White Cloud
ferry, has crossed ttver to this side
of the river, 1,400 prairie schooners,
containing those who had been driven
from their homes in Nebraska and Da

months ago, all seemed bright and
prosperous to thorn, but alas, the long,
dry weather has destroyed their pros

effects tUey could transport, they have
strated back toward the rising surt, to

praise of love or men. , Thus almmt

It seems somewhat singular
and with noting, that this ssm liter
ature, which Is the expression of male
thought and sentiment, should so con
stantly ugroi In holding up mothers-in-law
to scorn and ridicule. Mothers are
reverenced, Htepmojhrs are hated.
They are tht Incarnations of all that

venture lo dwll on It fur a moment.
The unity of the woman with the man
Is derived from the statement that she

and tbnh of his Ibrh." Now, had she

MHto.t, whiwe notltns of man luge

Eve tell Adam what occurred Imme

"I find awaked and found myself
rSMed
Under the shade f flowers, much
woinlirlng wht re
And wh.U I wss, win nee thither
brought, and how."
She next sees her linage reflected In
a pxl, and starts from It, and theti
almost fslls In love will) it;
"There had I fixed
Mine tyes till now, ond fixed with
Vvilu deal re,
Had 'not a voice thus warned me:
'What thou seest.
What there thou seest, fair creature,
Is thyself:
With thee It conn1 snd goee; but
follow mo,
And I will bring thee where no shad
ow s'sys .
Thy coming nnd thy soft embraces:.'"
The Invisible angel leads her, to
Adam, but ahe thinks him "lrs fair,
less winning soft, less amiably mild
than that smooth wst'ry image," and
begins to fly. Adam following, cried
aloud:
"Return, fair Eve,
Whom fly'st thiuT Whom thou
fly'st, of him thou art,
His flesh, his bone; to give thee be
ing, I lent,
Out of my side to thee, nearest my
heart,
Substantial lift, to have the by my
side
Henceforth an undivided solace dear;
Part of my soul I so?k thoe, and thee
claim
My other half."
Her story told, she,
"Half embracing leaned
On our first father; half her swelling
breast
Naked met his under tho flowing
gold
Of her loose tresses hid."
and that same night In the shadiest
bowers of paradise,
"With flowers, garlands, and sweet
snielllng herbs,
" Espoused Eve decked first her nup
tial bed,
And heavenly choirs the hymenaean
sung,
, What day the genial angel to our
V sire
Drought her In naked beauty more
adorned, -
Moro lovely than Pandora, whom the
gods
Endowed with all the gifts."
After tho glowing pictures of artless
love and primal Innocence, how great
are the disillusions which we seoevery
whero around us. From Paradise,
with all lt wealth of beauty arid pro
fusion of naitunal luxuries, to the hid
eous squ.ilir and went of a city slum,
is a fearful stride in the Journey of hu
manity. Here many of the unhappy
daughters of our common mother are
dwelling frowsy, unclean, dolwiuchod,
wrecked In mind and body by the
force of their cruel environment. Do
we blame the woi-st of them If they
are coarse and depraved, unlit to be

Of all the orders of mediaeval chiv

the Order of tho Tolson d'Or of Spain
having been conferred on the Duke of
York, his royal highness was in vested
with tho Imtlgna of tho order by the
Prince of Wales, himself a knight of
tho order, acting In tho name of the
queen regont and on behalf of the
young king of Spain, The secretary
of the Spanish embaesay, aa chancel

Tha Duke of York only received the
badge of the order In the shape of
the figure of the sheop In embossed
gold susper.dnd from a heavy chain of
gold, but at a chapter of the order or
nit great wurt functions at Madrid he
would be entitled to wear the full robes

velvet, cut In the fashion of a sacer
dotal cope, richly embroidered at the
borders with emblematic devices of
stars, half-moons, Jeeoes In gold and
lined with white aatln, over s doublet

Originally the robes of the order, which
was founded In 1429 by Philip the Good,

strengthened the theory that the gold

Immense treasures which the Duke of
Burgundy had acquired from the wool

Professor Wiggins has a theory that

There Is. In addition, the professor
says, overwhelming ivldeta that Kvs

""'i have no time now to filter Into a
detailed discussion of this point."
Preiotor Wiggins, "but I believe ths
serpent who beaulM Eve and caused
all our wm was a comet." . .
The piffia"r wss found In his little
observatory at Hrttstnnla, bis summer
home, by lake des Chenes.
"You know." he said, "the grcats-t
nowr In nature Is vUctrlcWr. and It
Is a law that liks electrtelUes repel
and unlike attract. In other words,
if two bod lea are highly charged, they
repel each other; but If one Is charged
and th othfr Is not, or Is slightly so,
thoy attrart each other, If you were
to charge two common balls to a high
degree of er4n and platte them apart
in pure spare they could never fall to

other negative they would rush to

'The earth as a planet, and all other
heavenly bodiea. are positively and
enormouitly electrified, which prevents
their coming Into colUslon with one

gl'&e. '
THE BUN'S ATM08PHERE.
"The aun'a atmoepbere Is the most
powerful electric fores in the solar sys
tem. When a comet Is near to him
and haa be-xone charged. It be driven
away into apace at the rate of mil
lions of milea an hour, and la some
times abant a century; but when It
has parted With fls electric fwroe suf
flcltsitly to become negative to tbe
nun, It la at ti at ted bock again by the
low of uillke eleetrleltes. A highly
eleotrliled nmt will gather, up nega

force then ier U through space. ,
"Here U a black thunder cUuid cm
ing down fr-en tbe mountains. It
elHctrto power is very great, and It Is
alimeit i-fec-tly Isolated by the dry,
non-comluctli.g air between It and the
earth. If it meets with no conductor
at retch st am s its path it will travel
hundred of miles and water the fields
beneath It. Push a wire fpan the
earth upward Into the cloud and the
latter will rail to the earth like a lump
of lead. Stretch wire across Its path
and It wtll dlapaie and disappear In
a few minutes.
"This Is why Megraph and telephone
wires produce drought, llut auppose
the cloud to retain Its electric power
and to pans over shallow marshea and
low rrouuda. What will happen? Its
electric force will attract negative
small bodiea like flsheo, frogs, amall
shells, and worms and force them up
Into the loud, whore they remain un
til the cloud loses Its electrlo power
when they will be distributed over the
fields bckrw. This Is why then little
animals are found on pavements and
In water tanks after a shower, and
which aoeount for the presence of
trout and all sorts of flshea In lakes
and brooks hundreds of miles from
the sea.
A BHOWEft OF SHELLS.
"A few months ago there was a
shower near this city of minute shells,
which are only found In Florida, and
on March 19, 18M, during a thunder
ttorm near li..n, the grass was cov
ered with black and yellow worms,
from rate to thiea Inches long, that
had beu brought, savants supposed,
from some tropical clime. At all
events they were forMgn to Europe.
Now. if a thunder storm could travel
from Mars to the earth might it not
carry similar animals from that planet
to ours?"
"Yes, but thunder clouds do- not
travel from Mars to the earth."
"Quite trus; but there are other bod
ies that do travel between Mara and
the earth that are a million tlmea more
IMghily charges! rfootjricjlly than a
thumler cloud comcrfs."
"How do you know they are highly
charged?"
"I know It because Blela'a comet
was seen to burst into two parts In
187, and aince that period the two
hemispheres have gradually receded
from each other, and they are entered
Ir- the catalogue as two distinct com
eU Ephorua, a Creak writer before
the Christian era, mentions a almllnr
phenomenon. This recesHlon of the
parts could only hnve been due to
their being highly charged with like
t-leetrloltU. Then, when comets cross
the earth's orbit near the earth, shoals
of meteors fall through our atmos
Ihere, showing that they have followed
tha comet through space by electric
attraction. A body at one time far
away from the sun and again near him
must undergo erormous expansion and
contraction, which would generate pow
erful elestrio action.
A MILLION METEOBS.
"In 1872 sud 188, when a comet waa
crossing our orbit, millions of meteors
fell to the earth. Some of them were
examined t.y Dr. Hnhn, the eminent
Gwronn gevdoglut, who found that they
contained a series of organlo remains
as orlnolda, spongee, and corals In all
