Since steam has largely ta i tie
place of sail on the ocean I doubt if
the sailor's yarn is what It was fifty
years ago, when the Black Ball line of
clipper ships sped between the Occident
' and the orient. Ia my younger days
I was but a lad I sailed before the
toast in the Dreadnaught Among our
crew was Seth Hawkins, an old salt
cf forty. We considered him a Methu
selah, a tall, thin man with a profusion
xt little red curls. He was very reli
gious, observing all the commandments
scrupulously except the ninth, "Thou
shalt not bear false witness," and In
this he sinned only in spinning yarns,
which he always vowed were real hap
penings; One starlight night on the
forecastle while we were lounging
ebout the capstan he gave us the fol
lowing: "You've all heard a lot about Judas
Iscariot, who was cursed with havin
to live fprever and wanderln all over
the world, at one time bein' seen In
Egypt, another in France, and so on,
always leavln' a trail of misfortune in
his wake. But I don't believe any of
you has ever hearu about his sailin the
Beas. There's no sense in this, for how
could he have got to America, where
he's tuYned up often, unless he crossed
an ocean? Least ways I've seen him
myself, and on the water too.
"I first shipped on the Mark Matthews
on a voyage around the Horn to take In
hides ou the west coast of South Amer
ica. We was layin' in the doldrums
( one eveniu just Jef ore fourbells. A
thick fog was all about us, and we
couldn't see a cable's length. All of a
Buddent I Leered a bell. It struck four
times. ' As soon as It stopped our bell
struck too. Then the fog thinned a lit
tle, and just about half the "ship's
length fronyus was the oddest lookln'
craft I ever clapped eyes on. She was
awful high iu the poop, low in the
waist and h:d a head ou her bow like
that of a sea sarpent. She had two
masts like a schooner, and the sails
was hung on 'em like they, put 'em on
Chinese junks. Of course they hung
limp like ouru.
"She was head-on, and the fog didn't
let us see abaft the fo'mast On the
forecastle stood the figurlof an $ld man.
I couldn't tell you howold he looked,
but there was somethin about, him
. that reminded me of a people long
passed away. He was a Jew and the
Jpwtesj- took hi' Jer; I ever see. Ha

L...u.UvJ year - .'here wasn't
a bit o' colsr ia Li mocks unless you
call the leathery loo o' the hides we've
got below color, and it seemed as If I
could see right through his ghastly lips
to the few teeth that was left in his
jaws. He hadn't any hat on, and I
wasn't near enough to see just what
his hair was like, except that he had
mighty little. But somethin' was
a-movln' on his skull that looked like
worms. Whether it was worms or
hair I couldn't see, but it must 'a' been
worms, for there wasn't the ghost of a
breeze to move even the finest hairs.
He stood there lookin' at us without
any interest In them melancholy eyes
o' hts'n, and the only motion he made
was with his skinny hands, pomin
some silver coins from one hand to
t'other. Every oncet In awhile he'd
make as if to throw the silver away,
but he couldn't,' and every time he tried
and failed his face would take on an
expression of awful remorse.
"While I was lookln' at him the two
ships was so slowly drlftln' apart that
nobody could see 'em move. The other
craft was gettln' in our stern. The
Jew's blinkers was movin about, never
res tin' on anything for more'n half a
second till suddenly they struck our
stern. Then there was the worst fright
come into 'em I ever see on any man's
face,'1 not even a mutineer I once saw
hung when he caught sight o the noose
danglln' from the yardarm.
"What did he see? Didn't I tell you
our ship was the Mark Matthews? The
rfame, o' course, was on the stern.
Some o' the letters was faded, and the
8 in Matthews was pretty nigh gone.
What the Jew. saw was the names o
twoo' the apostles, Mark and Mat
thew. "Then for the first time it struck me
who he was. He was the wanderln'
Jew. As soon as he saw the names o
them two old friends o' his'n he was
throwed on his beam ends. You see.
he was one o' the twelve in good and
tegular standin' till ha betrayed his
master for them thirty pieces o silver.
To be brought face to face with two
of the disciples after a couple o thou
sand years wanderin' must 'a' brought
back onpleasant remembrances.
"By this time I felt so bad for the
poor old sinner that I -wanted to give
him somethin' to warm him up. I ran
below, got some; grog in a can and ran
back, expectin to swing it over to the
Jew at the end of a rope. But when I
got on deck the strange lookin craft
had disappeared in the fog, ,
"But where she'd drifted to was a
puzzler, for within ten minutes the
fog lifted, we could sweep the horizon,

NOVEL LAUNDRY BAG.
Cliiiitmsa Gift That the Orderly
Bosteirtfe Will Appreciate.
A novel laundry bag convenient and
easily made has just appeared. It has
two compartments, is fiat and does not
draw up like other receptacles for this
purpose. To make this . useful con
trivance, . two pieces of any desired
material, as dentin, cretonne, chintz or
gingham, not necessarily alike if they
will contrast well, are cut to form a
bag, except that' one piece is cut four
Inches longer than the other and is
then slanted dfffo a point this exten
sion mwhspwirWkig the flap of an
envelope, and coining at the bottom of
the hag. A third piece of white muslin
is cut the same siee the part without
the extension, and Is placed between
the two colored . portions.
The bag has no mouth, as it Is under
stood, the even edges of the three parts
being basted toge&fcc, then'bound with
a braid or. ribbon, sewing- up what
would ordinarily ba the mouth of the
bag. The sides are 'then bound, taking
in the three straight edges, and, lastly,
the flap fs bound. About three inches
below the 'top of, the beg a couple of
rows of stitching are twken about an
inch apart, forming a runner, and
through thfs is,rii a sfterrt .length of a
wooden iath, actings -like a draw string.
Just below this rjnaer in the center a
vertical slit is 6ot ' on the two col
ored pieces, wlitch must also be bound
on their edges. Tjhrough these the
soiled clothes tea slipped. Then .the
flap is brougtrt njard in the same
way as you wcru&l seal an envelope
were it inverted, and is secured by
buttons and buttonholes, one on each
corner of the flap. A cord is fastened
at each end 'of th$ lath and forms ?
hanger. You Trill now discover the
bag to be really two begs, the white
intersection forming a partition.

, The Story ofa Medicine.
Its name "Golden Medical Discovery"
was suggested by one of its most import
ant and valuable ingredients Golden
Seal root - - ...
Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Pierce dis
covered that be could, by the use of pure,
trlple-refinod glycerine, aided by a cer
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex
tract from our most valuable native me
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world
famed "Golden Medical Discovery," for
the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or
dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and
kindred derangements was first made, as
it ever sinie has bcn, without a particle
of alcohol m its mafte-up.

in consumption. Take Dr. Pierce's Dis

likely to disappoint. Too muda must not

in its advanced stages. No medicine will.
' It will cure the affections that lead up to
consumption, if taken in time.
