APPLE GROWERS UNION DENTED HIS DIGNITY. Tha Cook's Familiarity With tha Cap tain Was III Timad. Enos SIlMbv and - Ethan Knight raine from the same Utile town oo the roast t Maine. As boys they bad grown up together, and now as men the; were sailing together on the same schooner. EKjuq was captain, and Enos was the cook. Their position might well bare been reversed, for Ethan was better with the skillet than Enos. and Euos probably knew as niucb about navigation as his friend. Still, they maintained their respective plares, and neither thought of a shift Usually on board the Maria there was little formality between the cap tain and the crew. In port, however, and on certain occasions It was thought necessary to maintain the dignity of odlce. One day a naval officer came on board on some business. Captain Knight received blin In bis best man ner, thanking bis stars that be happen ed to have bis good coat on when the officer arrived unexpectedly. In the midst of their Interview In the captalu's cabin Enos, apron tied bathroom, see la Ifca behind, as was bis wont when not very busy, poked bis bead in at the door. "Ethan," be said, "wbere'a the sauce pan?" Captain Knight frowned, and tbe of ficer looked at once surprised and In different. "Your conduct Is amazing, sir," the captain said In bis most dignified man ner. "Your saucepan must be where you left it." "You had It last, protested Enos. You said you could fry" But tbe captain bad slammed tbe door. Youth's Companion. INVADING A MOSQUE. Roughshod Methods of Sightsaars In Turkey. Albert Bigolow Paine says In de scribing a visit to a Constantinople mosque: 'Some kind of ceremony was in progress when we arrived; bit, as usual in such places, we did not mind. We went right In Just tbe same, and our guides, too, and we talked and pointed and did what we could to break np tbe services. Old turbaned sons of the prophet were kneeling and bowing and praying here and there and were a good deal In the way. Sometimes we fell over them, but we were charitably disposed and did not kick them at least 1 didn't, and I don't think any of tbe party did. We might kick a dog kick at blm, I mean If we tripod over one, but we do not kick a Moslem not a live one. We only take bis picture and step on him and muss blm np and make a few notes and go. 1 have been wondering what would happen to a party of tourists Mos lems, for Instance who broke Into an American church during services, with guides to point and explain, and stared at the people who were saying their prayers and stalked over them as if they were wax figures. An American congregation would be annoyed by a mob like that and would remove it and put It lu tbe calaboose. But, then, such things wouldn't happen In Amer ica. We have cowed our foreign visit ors. Besides, there Is nothing In an American church that a foreigner would care to see." Outing. Going Astray at 8aa. The difficulty of keeping a modern steamship on a straight course Is no slight one. Tbe helmsman steers by the compass, and, while a single de gree of deviation appears very small on tbe compass card. It would If con tinued carry a fast steamship four miles out of her course In a single day's run. Yet tbe compass gives the course more accurately than tbe ship can be steered. Owing to tbe deflect ing power of tbe waves and tbe roll ing of tbe ship, which If she Is of the twin screw type causes first one of her propellers and then the other to exert greater effect, the course is continual ly shifted a little this way and that if U (Inc.) despite tbe helm. Tbe only safety Is , In correcting tbe compass course by i frequent observations of tbe sun, moon and stars. New York Tribune. IN Leavaa It to Har Judgment. "Am 1 tbe first girl you ever kissed?" asks the fair young thing from the refuge of bis shoulder. "Well." he replies, "after the way my arm Just naturally slipped around your waist as you unconsciously lean ed toward me and my fingers tilted your chlu as you unconsciously lifted your head and I bent forward where your Hps were waiting and didn't get tbe kiss either on your nose or your chin, but where It belonged after all that, aud with the knowledge of the subject which you have displayed. I shall say nothing, except that I leave tbe question toftyour own judgment" Life. Saving His Mats. On one occasion at a crowded per formance at the Hoy a I theater In Syd- j bey, N. S. V, a number of years ago ' a couple of sailors who bad been ' drinking were seated In the gallery. I One lost his balance and fell Into tbe stalls. The other Immediately cried, M "Man overboard!" and dived after his companion. With the provorblal luck of drunken sailors tbe first escaped with a broken leg and tbe second without a scratch.
