An Ol.l Salt Trllt of an Knroantrr with

One soaion Uvck In tho 10'a I shipped
aboard of n llrltlnh iihlp, tho Swallow,
to make a voyage from llombay up tho
IVrntan tJulf and hivok, rlti' an old
seaman in the lloitou CoinmercUl Ilul
litln. She wm an old craft and l)r
ialler, and her crew of twelve men a
iiiaile up of four or five niUlomUltlcH. I
remeinln'r there ero two Kanakas, or
Sandntrh Ixlamlrrs, one l.ancar, a ni'tfro
urtuo, ami tho o thorn ere American,
l.mtltah ami Dtiteh. We had noarvelv
left lt.inili)- when the captain wah taken
nick vv 1th fever. Ill name wan Ahlrloh,
and his wife, who Mas a woman of thir
ty, always sailed with him. She now
took command In n general way, ami
this to tho satisfaction of the mates,
theuirh lxiih un thorough sailors. I
heurtl one of them say that she could
take an elimination or work a ttal
rts-konin, and I saw from enters she
Kavo that she knew allalsiul a ship.
We had f,od weather ami made Kod
progress until after wo were atsive Mils-
at. In the Hay of Ormiii. Then, one
fiiremsiu we K'"t a siimll which illd not
last ten minutes, but which brought
down our fortt ami main toyallant masts
and carried away a nail or two. There
was only n li;ht breeze lifter the Wii;ill
had passml, and wo were 1 ln)j to and
hunl at worla. hen an Arabian ilhew of
aUmt two hiimlrisl tons biinlen came
strum m;; down the eoast. We were
wuhin four nilli-s of tho rocky ami
mountnlnoiM shore, bat she was two
miles Inilde of us. She was no sooner
mailo tint than the tlrtt mate lie;ame
anxlo'i, amt Mrs. Aldrleh was sent for
to coini-on itiH-k. She lotik a icimh! hsik
at the stranger throujfh the h'lass, and
as she lurnisl away she iiierled of the
mate:
"l 'an we depend on thocrew to ll'ht?"
I 1iom ao, ma'am,' he replltsl.
"Have them mime aft."
All movtsl aft, and I can remember
through all the lonr years just how- she
looktsl ami etery wonl shesaid. She had
a worrltsl, anxious look, and no wonder.
ami there was a tremblliiK In her voice
as she suld:
".Men, you know that your eaptnln Is
sick. Vomler comes a pirate If thereover
was one. I f he captures us, tho-ai who
live through the igUX. will p Into the
Interior as Mlaves and woi-ko. If we are
all aitreinl we can boat ti 1 lit oil. What
do you say?"
"We'll I'lfht to the last!" shouted one,
ami the cry w as taken up by all.
"Thank !od!" she fervently ox
clalimsl. "I)le them a hrato 11,'ht and

S.Hiner than full Into their hands I will
blow the old ship sky high and all of us
with her."
We had no cannon, but wo had fifteen
muskets, a lot of cavalry nabeni, and the
i-aptalu had not dodifed about those wa
ters with his eyes .shut, lie had two or
three years before purchased a doieu

tho money Is east In the shape of a
lady's shoo. Ten taels of silver make
a lump of sImhiI the slue of a Chlucio
lady's foot, and If you want to pay out
less than this amount you take your
knife or n chisel ami ioumI olf as much
as you want. It Is the rudest way of
doing business, but tho Chinese, are
very suspicious of coins, and they like
the pure metal, (iold brick alsmt an
Inch long amt half nn Inch wide and of
the same thickness aro also used, hut
you have to watch these, as you do every
thing else In the shape of money In China.
In South China you will 11 ml a chop dol
lar, out of which Utile chips of silver
have lieon taken, or In which holes hare
Is'en Isirod and these boles filled with
load. You will find coins under weight
and chunks of met.il which are conn
terfi It, and the rcult Is that every
Chinese business-house has to keep one
man whose buslues is to detect counter
feit coin. This man Is 1 ailed theschrolT,
and all the money of the establishment
Misses through his hands. Ho gives a
big Umd. and he is rcsmslhle for all
the money he takes lu. If he makes a
mistake It Is his loss, not that of the
llriu. You w ill llnd these Re lire Its con
neetisl wllli our Legation ahroud, and
they may be called the cashiers of the
Hast. They are always Chinamen, and
the foreign hanks lu Asia havo all their
figuring and their money calculations
made by Chinamen. The Chinaman
does this with his little Ihix of buttona
strung on wires; ho never makes a nils
take, and he Is the groat arithmetician
of the world. 1 0. Carsnter, lu Na

The power of fascination Inherent In
women may, moreover, lie divided Into
two kinds. A II of us have huoii the old
lady, generally w hllo-halrisl, with kind
ly, pleasant features, on which lime has
set no unfriendly mark, who still retains
all her attracllieness. Nolo how the
I toys ami girls adore her; they will go to
tier and conllde their sorrow a, their
hopon, thulr ambitions, even when they
would nut breathe a word to their
mothers. The kindly, loving Interest
winced In a lad's attalrs by such a ono
has tlmo and again llrst Implanted the
Impulses In his heart which eventually
led ti 1 111 on to an honorable career.
IJiilcWly, almost ny slealtn, Hie good
Is done by such, and the good seed sown
which will rlH'ii tu after time Into a
rich ami abundant crop. On thu other
hand, we havo iiutst of us seen, jiorllapa
III real life, certainly 011 the stage, tho
fascinating adventuress tio. by her en
thralling licauto do (liable, enslaves
men's souls and lends them (on the
stngei to dare all for her sake. Kuril It
directly oppostsl to the sweet . old lady
111 her old-fashioned chair, and those
two form the oiMisllu 'les bntwooii
Which the womun who fascinate vary.
Tysis ililler, and any one you may so
lis't has some position between these
two opKislloH. Take, for Instance, a
pretty and may bo willy womun who,
hardly of her own free will, makes
every man fall In love with her to a
greater or loss degree. She may lm In
nocent of all evil intention, but her io-
sttlon oil the scale is not vastly removed
from that of the melo-ilraiuullc sorceress,
Or, again, take the instance o( the pret-
ty young matron who, w inlo devoted to
home, husband and children, yet has
several Intimate friends of the mule per
suasion. Hut her Inllueiico is all for
good. Her fascination Is exertisl In a
worthy cause, and she has found out a
great truth that thero Is no friendship
o lasting, o true ami so pleasant at 01111
between M'rons of upslto sexes,
wheru a truu fueling of Ixuiuo camara
derie exists ninl there Is lit, pretense of
lovo-maklug. Such a Woman, If she
lives long enough, bids fair to develop
Into a snowy-haired old lady on whose
friendship tho children will rely,

Dr. Henry M. Seudder resirts tho do
cliloii of a case In an Kastern ismrt lu
which the iilco discrtmlnatlon of the
Is'lieh was conspicuous.
Kourmen, iwrtners In business, Uiuglit
some cotton hales. That the rats mlglit
liotdetlroy the cotton they purchased
cat. They agrs-ed that eae'h of the four
should own a particular leg of tho oat,
and each adorned with 1" ada and other
ornaments the leg thus apportioned to
him.
The cat by an accident Injuns! one of
Its legs. The owner of lhat menilior
wound alsmt it a rug soaked in oil. The
cat going ts near the fln set the ragoii
(Ire, and lielng in great pain rushed lu
among the cotton hales, where alio was
accustomed to hunt rat. The cotton
thereby took fire and was burned up. It
was a total loss.
The three other nrt tiers brought an
action to ris'oicr the value of the cotton
against the fourth partner, who ownis.1
that imrtlctllar legof tho cat. The Judgo
cxamlnis! the case and ilecld.sl thus:
"The leg that had the nil rg on It
was hurt; the cat could mil use thai leg;
In fact. It held up that leg and ran with
the other three le,,-s The three unhurt
legs, therefore, tarried t', , lire to tho
cotton, and nr ul n culpi.l.ie, The In
jured leg Is not .. I blam, d. The ihreo
partners who 01. net the limn ley with
which the eat ran to tlm cotton will pay
the whole value of the hales to the part
ner who was Hie proprietor of thu lif
Jurod leg."
