"Well, Cyrus, you re about tihe last one I'd expect of such a tiling, but what is it?" I have found that tlhe heavy end of a ma'tch is Cts light end," responded Cyrus with a grim that would have adorned a skull. Mary looked disgusted, but with an air of triumph quCcWy retorted, "I've got a discovery, too, Cyrus. It was made by Dr. TL V. Pierce, and Is called a 'Golden Medical Discovery.'

FALLING IN WITH A DERELICT Held Back for Twenty Days ou t Silent Sea by Some Unex plained Impediment. rittsbug Post. ' If there was a faster snip afloat in the BO's than the Tornado, I have never heard her reforreed to.' The foot that aire wjb a dipper to sail came aboult more by accident than design, for She was built in an English shipyard by English ship wrights and aifter the p&un of an English draughtsman. It Is no slur on tlhe Eng lish, nation to cay thtait they have never known how to touM sailing eKpa to com pare with the crafts turned out on this side of thie waiter. They have made some chances in their models and In the man ner of rigging, but up to this date have refused to copy after the Yankees ana turn out a combination of speed, grace and carrying capacity. It was a source of wonder to everybody who saw the Tornado that fJhe was launched from a British shipyard, and heir tilckmaime The Accident-followed her all over the woria. She was three years old and had won a record when I eru-pped in her for a voyage from Liverpool to 6am Francisco and re turn. She had a crow of twenty-two men and misceClaneous cargo, and was com manded by Oaiplt. James Gross. No lees than nine sailing vessels' left Liverpool on the same tide with us, but one, Jhe Astral, was bound around the Horn. The otiWetrB were for ports in Brazil. We were four hours behind the last one in the fleet, and yet in a run of fifteen hours after the tug dropped us, we ware in the lead. The Tornado was a ship of OGO tons burcten, but she handled like a yacht and had! no tricks about ner. Her best point of calling, as in all square riggers, was with the wind over the quar ter, bub she was a surprise, no matter how the wind came along. When another ship of her class would have two men at her wheel with their Jaolcets off and their sfflrias wet with persplra'tilon the Tornado only wanted the .touch of a single hand to keep her waste as stmlghit as an arrow. On that accoistan there mure eighteen days when we logged off a dally run which t!ie captain of a steamer mignt have been proud of, and the voyage to San Francdsoo was made four days shorter than ever Wefore Iby a soiling ship. When ready to leave pom we found we were to have company. Th bark Wild Rose and thie shtp Arrow, both American, were homeward bound to New York and Boston. Both were fast crafts and the result of much bmgglnig and boosting was a wager on which craft would round the Horn first. The three captains put the sum of 81,500 into a pool for the victor, and I have no doubt the American cap tains followed Capitate Cross example in promising the men exltra money if they won the wager. The Arrow passed out first, followed by the bark, and both were ten miles o'fr he ooaist before we had passed Seal Rock. There was a fresh breeze from Just the point we wanted It, and In three hours we were leading the bark and creeping upon the ship, - At sundown we were leading the lat ter by five miles. Next morning the ocean was oVear as far as could bo seen, and the crew looked upon tihe wagar as al ready won. The rum to the south was almost .the average of a passenger steam er, and each day's run was chalked on a blackboard for the benefit of the crew. At noon every day there was cheering and tossing up of caps, and the mate gave out that wie were likely to beat the record going home Bind thus lop oft the days at both ends. Fate had set a trap for the Tornado, however, and we found lis jaws wide open as we ran down to the equator. One afternoon two hours after the black board had given us the run of the pre vious twenty-four hours as 260 miles, the breeze began to die away, and by sun down there waan t air enough to etlr feoither. Of course, we hoped It was only a temporary calm. Not having any ports to touch alt the caiptaln had stood oft the American coaet until h'S southing would pass him between Eastfr and Gomez Islands, The Americans might have followed In our wake or cut tn closer to the coast. Every hour we lay there we allowed them to gain on us, and when the right passed and true sun came up and brought no breeze we could figure that both were 160 miles nearer. From sunup to sundown we lay there, drifting a but, but without the slightest breeze,' and with the sun so hot that all work wias suspended. Just at sunset It oloudied up and a deluge of rain descend ed, but when the rain ceased and the clouds drifted away the same dead at- mofiptrcre prevailed as before. Then we began to realize that we were in for a long-continued calrm. One may encounlter a calm on any portion of the sea, but an equatorial calm has eenea tjona to be experienced nowhere else. The sky loses Its color and becomes dead; the surface of the water has a greasy aspect and the monotony of the desert; the eter nal cheeping of the blocks and the creak of ithe yards brings out a feeling of loneli ness to make men sulky and cross. For Ave consecutive days and nights 'there was not even a puff of wind, and the wealther was so hot that no unneces sary work was done. It was well for the ship that the officers understood sailors' naturies In a calm. Had the captain oursed and the mates nagged there would have been a mutiny. Juok works by the calendar month. The longer tftve voyage Is spun out the imore pay 1s duo him, and yet nothing upsets him more than slow sailing, while he would sooner lose a month's pay than to tte becalmed1 for a week. 9 Toward the close of the fifth day the Arrow, which bad followed our routs, hove In sight and poaeed us about ten ml Its to the wwltwurd. We aflterwiard as certained she lost a topmast and soma of her saiKs In a squall, and bad thus been delayed. While we lay wallowing on the greasy sea she sailed right past us. In other words, ten miles to the east of us there was a shan't of wind to carry her over the line, while the flume of a candle on board of us would not even, waver. The American bark had taken the inshore route and passed us two days before, though we knew nothing about it. I never heard such hearty cursing aboard of a craft as was Indulged In that evening when we saw the Yankee disappearing to the south. Our Ave days' gain on her was not only lost but she was clipping along at the rate of six or seven milts an hour, while we were ly ing like a water-soaked log. There were half a dozen fights in the fore castle be fore o'clock, and at about 10 the cap taki and mates had a row In the cabin which could plainly be heard forward. Everybody was mud ant) disgusted and wanted to vent his spite on another. The sixth day came and went, as did the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth. There was no change tn the sky no change in the water. We ate, smoked, drank, growled and slept, and, no mat ter what sort of a statement one mads he was promptly called a liar and the offer made to tight him. On the forenoon of the seventh day a ship passed us to the eatwirr, boun.1 norm. On tao cir.th day a ship passed us calling to the south. On ithe afternoon of tlhe tenth day the caiptaln ordered three boots down to tow the Tornado to the eastward. The Idea waa ait first hailed with satisfaction, but afiter iwe had labored for an hour without seeming to have moved the ship as much. as 100 fedt, the men refused to. do an Oliver stroke of work. I never could un dersaamd just what was the matter at this Juncture. While the TomaJdia had1 a pretty full cargo, we ought to have beem able to tow her in any dLrectdom eJt the rate of two miles an hour. Do our very best, we could make no headway to the east. We may have been on the edge of a current, or the sped of terrible hot weather might have .weakened us more than we sus pected. At any rails we nearly broke our backs pulling away, at .the oars for sixty minutes, and then gave It up. The cap tain coaxed and threatened, but fin ally retired to his caibm and the boats were hoisted. In. The eleventh day came and went, then the twelfth, thUrteenth and. fourteenth. At midnight of the fourteenth a few Cats-paws began playing about, but the shdp had no more than got steerage way when It foil' a hat, dead oaltn again. At sunrise on 'tlhe fifteenth morning the ea.me thing happened again, and again tn the afternoon, and we may have made something like a mile to the south. From the flret day of the calm we had visitors in the shape of sharks. There were only two on the first day, but after th.it we could always count alt least a dozen. But for the presence of these monsters the men could have found some relief from the heat In .tlhe waiter. On the fifteenth day, after a long spell of box hauling the yards about to caitchhe puffs wnicn noa no we ght in them, the ship's carpenter announced that he was going to coca on alongside if it cost him Iks life. Borne of the men had gone below and some were lying about wherever thr could find shade, when he went over the bowa - I was seated on the heel of the bowsprit, where I could get a bit of air as the ship rose and fell on the glassy ground swell, and was the only one aooara wno witnessed the tragedy. Before dropping Into the water the man looked about him. The dorsal fins of at least fifteen sharks were cutting the water, and he musn have fully realised the risk he was about to run. I further more called his attention to It, but he growled out something about my minding my a win business and made a dive from the rail. Every ftn went out of sight In an Instant, and I Wrought the tnani would never rise to the surface. He came up after a few minutes, however, and swam oft .to a dllstianc of about ten feet. He was treading waiter and brushing his long hair back, when I saw a flash of white In the waiter near him, emd the next Instant he was pulled down. He threw up his arms, but tittered no cry. Fifteen seconds after the went down an enoj-mous shark broke water with the carpenter In his mouth. For full a min ute the monster circled about on the surface with his victim kicking and struggling, and then he disappeared Into the depths, to be seen no more. Several of the men came sauntering forward In response to my shouts, but nothing was to be Been except a ripple inn the sur face. On Ithe might of that fifteenth day very queer thing happened. It was a clear moonlight night, and alt midnight the man on lookout, who was stationed for form's sake on the bows, awoke from a map to find a derelict close aboard. The wihoCe creiw was routed out to talke aotlon In case she drifted aboard of us, but that did not happen. She approached within a cable's leuigith and then came to a standstill. It waa likely that she was in sight from the masthead the afternoon before, but no one had been sent aloft to look around. She had come down on us from the north, being caught In some current, perhaps not over 200 feet wide, We made her out to be a brig with both masts and bowsprit gone, and after showing a light and hailing her without result, we knew that she was abandoned. Next morning aha was a bit nearer us, and after breakfast the gig was manned and Captain Cross put aboard of her. Two of us climbed over her bows with him and helped him to rummage about. The craft was named the Pole Star, and hailed from Newborn, N. C. She was on her way to a Mexican, port and had been blown far to the westward of her course. The last entry In her log referred to a gale in which she had been dismasted and was about to be abandoned, but that entry was eight months old. For eight months the brig had knocked about in all sorts of weather, and waa still float ing. She had about two feet of water in her hold, but most of that had coma In through her decks. The cargo consisted of machinery and furniture and was but little damaged. In leaving her but very little had been taken aalde from waiter and provisions, and Captain Cross promised us a fair divide If we would loot the derelict. All the crew were wilting to turn to and we took out of her a spare set of sails, two anchors and chains, a capstan, three portable engines, a lot of wood working machinery, 200 mirrors, a great lot of fine tools and other things, which I do not recollect, though the whole was valued alt $16,000 in Liverpool. Wo had her along side of us for two days, and then towed her half a mile away and scuttled her. On the morning of the twentieth day of tftve calim, beting a "spell" which only three or four ships have ever encoun tered, the second mats declared that there mus be a dead irran dinging t the ship's keel. It was an old supersti tion, and one laughed to scorn, but on thus occasion no one Indulged in rlefcule. The men soon began to talk among hem selveis, and wlfJMn an hour her captain had given permission for a boat to be lowered to make an investigation. The mate and three men went In the boat, and beginning on the port bow they worked aft and around the ship. When they were amidships on the starboard aide, they began shouting and cheering, and the announcement was made that they had found the body. Four or five feet below the water line, the copper sheathing had been rolled up by striking Sanverthllng In port, .and held fast by the- sharp edges catching his clothes was the dead body of a sailor. As the sh-'p rolled he was brought Into view end pulled away with a boathook. We imrstt have picked him up as we lay there, though tit was curious that a corpse should be floating around there among' the sharks, and more curious that they had not pulled him away. There he was, however, and though too badly de composed for burial, we got a weight to Ms feelt and' sent him to the bottom. And did .that break the calm? The log of ithe Tornado eaya that the breeze came at noon, and she went flying down to the Horn in her old style and reached port wthout other adventure. Captain Cross lost ills wager wtth. the Americans, but his share of the salvage waa a much larger sum, and there were many big dollars left for his mates and men to Jingle Jn their pockets. A MOST MAGNIFICENT HEIRLOOM Is health. No irero In tiara or coronet 1i so precious. Per contra, a hereditary tendency to disease, often proves a fatal legacy, since the most trifling cause may fertilize the latent gems of ill health and render the fruitage deadly. An inherent transmitted weakness of the physical con stitution Is mors effectually opposed and counteracted by Host ewer's Stomach bit ters than by any ether safeguard.

Encourage the Children to Work Teach Them to Be Kind. and In answer to the question given in the Blade Household on the question of al lowing children some fixed remuneration for th lisslstance they give about the home, we have this week a very excel lent paper from one who has evidently given much thought to the subject, and we hope to hear from others; who cer tainly must, as fathers end mothers, I-ave a living interest in anything that concerns the welfare of their children. Are there good, logical retaoons why children shall not be rewarded for work honestly and faJthfuKy perf armed? It there are such reasons, the opening of tn1s Important qul.stlon wdli surely bring them to the Burface, and the dis cussion will certainly do much good, es pecially to those who have given the sub ject Utile or no thought. Alt present 1 can see only the pro side of it. We children of a larger growth realize how much the hope of compensation les sens our burdens. We are greatly given to the habit of complaining at fate when she forces us (to toli week after week, with no reward but food and clothing, and knowing thia we ought to be all the mora anxious to deal Justly wtth those Httle men and women who have not yet become inured to her crochety ways. It Is our duty to make them feel that they live because they are needed In the world to perform certuliv duties, and that they are to be rewarded according to their faithfulness. The earlier they are to be taught to bear the responsibilities of life, the lesu heavily will disappointments weigh them down as they advance In years. Timely and tactful encouragement will keep their bright faces turned toward a self-sudbalnlng maturity, and they will have no Inclination, In after years, to become strikers and traanps. It may be argued that money la so scarce In some families that It is not pos sible to pay children wages. In Buch a case you can enter Into a contract with each child, agreeing to pay him wages at etalbed .times. Furnish him with a blank book and a pencil, and require him to keep an account of his work and his wages end teach htm to tiake care of his book, as It represents money. If you can not possibly give the money you can glva him Its value In eggis, poultry, butter, or whatever voti Yunvw rfrv urtl orA knnr haarititv 'he will ronton lnin ft,. nUn Tm,A. all is arranged satisfactorily and you irava aieara mm express ma intention few times of bitvimr a. rtmui no vii and of doing Other Impossible things, you twin 1 llff.wi iVtinnir nlaM4 nit I. -utfn k. boy to go to the store and choose for himself ii milih nt lntthA anA Mu v. - yuj 1U, t'hem 'with hl owim imoney. and nine times oui ox ien me wmi agree wan you.
