"Is that the chap ?re shipped un
der? Why, he hasn't, grown a
teardjjefc"
"Nevertheless. ho is the skipper
of thisv*af?ra?d a xighksm&rtione,
too, as you'll find ont if yon-cruise
many months aboard of her."
"That may be, but I'd rather see
a man on the quarter deck than a
bow*'
"What's thc difference if tho boy
has a man's h md on his shoulders?
It isn't always those who have lived
ihu longest in this world that know
the most, as Ijhave found out. Our
fkipper and I were shipmates on
the voyage that he jumped from be
fore the mast to the quarter deck."
"Don't see how he could do it,"
grumbled the ono addressed as Tom.
"It was this way," began Bill
Becket that same evening in the
?"dog watch" when:he and:bis com
panion Tom, who was also a boat
-steerer, were leaning idly over the
^cather rail, gazing out on the vast
expenso of waters over which their
vessel was bounding before * fair
wind. . .
"It's little over four years now
since I joined the Bace Morse down
in one of the Kanaka islands. I
had run away from another ship
and' had *beach combed' it (nautical
parlance for tramp) until I got a
chance in the Euee Horse. We were
going north to cruise in the Okhotsk
sea. Tho skipper was before the
mast then. Ho was a chap that
didn't have to see a thing done
more than twice before he could do
it himself.
"I handled the harpoons in the
mate's boat, and little Blue Fin, as
we called our cap'n that is now,
pulled the bow oar in the same
craft. One morning just a little aft
er daylight the lookout in the cross
trees raised a school of sperm
whales. We had a pretty stiff
breeze the night before, and the sea
was still running high. We lowered
.away, however, our three boats
mate's, second mate's and third's.
"TH take that fellow up to
wind'ard!' called our officer as he
.jointed to a big whale that was
playing around on the outside of
the school as though ho was placed
there to protect the cows, and calves
that were huddled together in the
middle from any danger.
" Irook out, Bill,' says the mate
to mc as he stood grasping the
steering oar. look out, man, and
don't miss him. There's a good
hundred barrels there.'
" 'Aye, aye, sir/ said I. *Lay me
on close enough, and I'll drive both
irons into him clear to the beck
ett
"There was no danger but what
he'd do it, for the fellow didn't
know what it was to be afraid of a
whale. I wasn't going to take any
chances, so I waited till the boat al
most touched the big brote, then I
let fly both harpoons, one after an
other, and sung out, 'Stern alli'
?When the boys were, backing so as
to give the whale room to play, I
went aft to change places with the
mate, and he walked forward to his
station in the bow to kill thc Ssh,
with a lance.
"Now, this whale was one of
those kind of fellows that take his
medicine easy at first, but fights
like fury before he h'ists his red
flag. He didn't 'sound,' but lay and
wallowed for a minute, or two, then
began to swing round so aa to get
?sight of us.
" *He's going to give us a tussle,'
^called the mate.
" 'Aye, aye; he's a fighter,' says L
'Then I caught sight of Blue
Fin's face. All the other chaps
were glancing over their shoulders
and beginning to get a little shaky,
but he sat on his thwart with his
hand grasping the oar, just as quiet
and unconcerned as if he were in a
skiff on a null pond und not' within
half a cable's length of a mad bull
sperm that threatened to send him
and his shipmates to Davy Jones'
locker at any minute.
"'Stand by to jump!' called the
mate. 'He's commg for us?'
"Now, you know there's no boat
.quick enough to get out of the way
of a whale when he makes a rush, so
the only thing to do is to leave her.
The other men sprang to their feet,
but the boy still sat there, and I
began to think he was paralyzed
with fright.
" 'Stand np to'iump, Blue Fini' I
.called. 'And when you go leap
straight for the beggar and not
from him.'
"Tho lad smiled and nodded his
head and, standing up, unshipped
his oar from the thole pin, hela it
ready and faced about.
"Then the whale started.
"'Jump 1'yelled the mate.
"The next instant we were all
floundering around in the water,
while the buU caught the boat in
bis month, crushed it to pieces and
sounded.
"The third mate, who had just
killed one small chap, was not far
a^ay> BO he came and picked us up,
aU but tho mate. We never saw^him
afterward. He must have been
fouled in tho lines and gone down.
'We got two out of tho school,
but all hands felt sad at the loss of
the officer. I couldn't he}p telling
our skipper how cool Blue Fin was
through thc whole thing, and when
bj shoved the onicers ahead he rat
0(1 "is ow^i boat steerer third mate
*ua ordered Blue Fin-te take charge
of tho irons in his craft.
'*I tell you the "boy was proud
enough, but ho had nerve and good
luck, both of which aro everything
to a whaler. This waa destined to
be an unfortunate voyage for tho
After Guar?s. The shales v/ero
plenty in the Okhotsk sea. and there
was hardly a day but what we were
outing in or trying out blubber.
"One afternoon tho ?ap'n lowered
gwroro&jK- 'right*' whale. Our boat
wWcib&O/ alongside, but the skipper
anng^.c-utT'
'"Don't you meddle with him;
he's my flab.!* So of course we
hung back, only standing by to lend
a hand in case wo were needed.
"Blue Fin made a pretty dart.
He hurled Iiis first iron about sir
feet aft tho bow hole, and the other
he planted in the belly as the fel
low rolled. It was a deathblow,
but before the whale began to spout
blood he brought his flukes around,
caught tho boat before the boys
could back out of the way and stove
her to pieces. We pulled in and
picked up the crew. I grabbed tho
old man just as he was going down,
and when I hauled him up I Baw
that he was hurt badly and was mi
conscious. Ho was smashed up in a
frightful manner and never recov
ered.
"Hext morning at eight bells we
launched the dead body of the
cap'n from tho starb'd gangway,
while the fish that had killed him
was moored with chains to the port
side of the ship. Poor Blue Fin
felt awful bad, and he kept mourn
ing as the mate read the burial serv
ice, saving:
'"Oh, if I hadn't struck the
whale that last blow! Twas the
second iron that touched his ''life,"
and our cap'n's too.'
"But, shipmate," went on the
boat steerer, "it was to be, and if"?
tho way of tho world, I suppose.
One man mounts to a position
through the death of another, just
as a new ship is built to take the
place of a craft that has found a bed
on the rocks."
"Yes, there's a great deal of
truth in what you say, Bill. But
how was it that your cap'n's loss
rated Blue Fin skipper?"
"Ho wasn't skipper in. every
senso of the word, but *twA? this
way: The officers that were left
were thc same as you and I-good
sailors and good whalers-but they
knew nothing of navigation. Blue
Fin, of all onr company, was the
only one who could handle a quad
rant or 'work up a sight.' As I
said, the whales were plenty, and we
didn't want to leave tho grounds
till the ice drove us out, for we were
making money, so we finished our
cruise, and when we reached Hono
lulu we were full to the hatches with
oil and bone.
"There was some talk of shipping
another man to take the vessel
homo, but the agent and the Ameri
can consul said, If that young man
knew enough to bring the craft
safely out of the Okhotsk sea, he
knows enough to find bis way to
New Bedford.' They just engaged
another mate 'by the run,' who was
a navigator, and gave the boy
charge of the ship.
"We made a quick passage around
the Horn, and the owners were so"
much pleased with Blue Fin that
they gave him command of the Race
Horse on the next voyage, and while
away on that cruise they built him
this one here, the Grampus, and
that*s how the lad became skipper
so young. It goes to prove thelruth
of what I said a few moments ago,
that 'it's not always gray heirs
which cover the wisest head.' A
boy is sometimes more fit to com
mand than a man who' has seen
twice or thrice his number of
years." ^_
The Wedding flinn
A long time ago the wedding
ring waa woru on the forefinger and
Was thickly studded with precious
stones. People who have seen the
old pictures of the Madonna in
Borne will remember that in one or
two of them there is a glistening
ring on the forefinger of her right
hand, but with Christianity came
the- wearing of the wedding ring Cn
the third finger rather than the
first.
The old story of there beL.g a
vein that runs from that finger to
tbe heart is nonsense. Its-use orig
inated in this way: Tho priest first
put it vin the thumb, saying, "In the
name of the Father;" on the-fore
finger, adding, "In the name of the
Son;" on the second finger, repeat
ing, "In the name of the Holy
Ghost," and on the third, finger,
ending with "Amen." 'AndUhere it
stayed.

THE COACHMAN'S PASSING.
When Railroad* Came, the Old Timer?
Disappeared From Earth.
One often wondon what became
of the old coachman when railways
drove the last of the mails off the
road and tho?o who had known iew
pleasures that were not associated
with tho movements of lively teams
and the hum of rolling wheels or
genial intercourse with the travel
ing world could enjoy those things
no more. There must bo deep pa
thos in the unwritten romaneo of
that period. With few exceptions
the drivers of stagecoaches had no
aptitude or inclination for other
work, though they were masters of
their own.
Many a time in boyhood I havo
heard amateur whips pay admiring
tribute to the professionals of an
older generation who, for all their
dissolute habits and uncouthness,
were workmen to tho core with
hands as gent?o as a woman's. Bob
Pointer, who taught many Oxford
undergraduates how to handle an
awkward team, was one of tho hard
drinkers, but nobody ever saw him
in "difficulties" to which his skill
was not equal. TTi? wise maxims
are still remembered and worth re
membering:
"Never let your horses know you
are driving them, or, Uko women,
ihev may get restive. Don't pull
and haili and stick your elbows
akimbo. Keep your hands as though
you were playing the piano. Let
every horse be at work and dont
get flurried. Handle their months
lightly. Do all this, and you might
even drive four young ladies with
out ever ruffling their feathers or
their tempers." - Henry H. S.
Pearse in Outing.
Quito Water Porters,
Around a fountain in one of the
principal squares of Quito assemble
every morning the city's aguadores.
These water porters differ from the
less energetic ones of some South
American cities in carrying their
jars on their backs instead of on
.the backs of mules. Their earthen
jars aro deep, have a wide mouth
and hold about forty liters.
The porter carries it on his shoul
der fastened with leather straps.
He never detaches himself from his
jar, either to fill it or to transfer
its contents to that of his customer.
He turns his back to the fountain
so that the jar comes under one of
the jets of water, listens to the
Bound of the water in the jar, and
his ear is so well trained that he
always walks away at the exact mo
i ment when it is filled to the brim.
Arrived at your houL e, he goes to
your jar, makes a deep bow and dis
appears behind a torrent of water.
I could never receive without laugh
ing the visit of my aguadore, the re
spectful little man who bowed to me
behind a cataract of water.-"From

? Rejuvenated Women.
It is an extraordinary but incon
testable fact that some women at
the age when most people die under
go a sort of natural process of re
juvenation--hair and teeth grow
again, the wrinkles disappear from
tho skin and sight and hearing re
acquire their former sharpness. A
Ma roui se de Mirabeau is un example
of this rare and remarkable phe
nomenon. She died at the age'of.
eighty-six, but a few years before
her death she became in appearance
quite young again. The same change
happened to a nun cf the name of
Marguerite Verdur, who at the age
of sixty-two lost her wrinkles, re
gained her sight and grew several
new teeth. When she died, ten years
later, her appearance was almost
that of a young girl.
Hts Difficulty.
The witty Sanuel Wilberforce,
bishop of Oxford, had no patience
with admirers who persisted in re
garding him, with others of his
cloth, as extraordinarily important.
A lady who met him one day at
dinner evidently felt obliged to keep
tho conversation at a high level.
She began with much solemnity:
"My lord, you must havo had a
Sreat many serious questions to
eal with in the course of your life.
What is the most tremendous diffi
culty you have had to encounter ?"
The bishop's napkin was slipping
away from him.
"Keeping a dinner napkin on this
silk apron of mine," said he as he
clutched at it.
The Elder Brother Lives Longer.
Your elder brother or ?ister will
enjoy a longer life than yourself.
Examination of a thousand pairs of
brothers and the same number of
pairs of sisters revealed the fact
that the elder brother had an aver
age life of six years more than the
younger, while in the case of the
girls the excess was slightly less.
These figures- do not prove that the
younger will-die before the elder. It
may be that there is a difference of
ten y caro, be tween, th e dates of birth,
so tnatiyonr elder' brother, although
having a longer life, may die before

"Every time I tell this story," a
bright society matron remarked,
"somebody accuses mc of making it
up-but it ia a true story, neverthe
less. Up in the Virginia mountains
this summer David and I took a long
walk to explore the wild country road
near our hotel. Way up on the rough
mountain Bide was a little oabin; and,
.s I have a most fervent human inter
est in the borne life of all people re
mote from cition, I proposed that we
visit the oabin, with the wayfarers'
usual opretext-to ask for a drink of
water. In the one room of tho small
house were tho usual furnishings, a
few ohoirs, many dogs lying about,
guns on tho wall, a high bed in eaoh
corner, and a homely table spread
with homely erookery in tho center of
tho household picture. A plain little
woman, worn and aged, but very neat
in calico frock and gingham apron,
met us at the door and asked us in,
while one of the rough boys lounging
on the poroh was dispatohed to tho
spring for fresh water.
"Instead of the usual mountaineer's
open fireplace, with crane and kettles,
was a surprising arrangement of a
eookiog stove mounted on a kitchen
table. My glance reverted to this
curious sight so often that our moun
tain hostess scorned constrained to ex
plain.
" 'You-uns ain't used ter seein
cook stoves fixed up that-a-way, 1
reokon,' she said apologetically. 'Pap,
ha got there oook stove down in town
'way last May, and ho didn't think
'bout the stove pipe, and he didn' git
'ouff to reaoh up to that there hole in
tho chimbly, so we-uns jest histed the
oook stove up on that there table till
he gits time t' go t' town and git some
more stove pipe. T'aint handy
climb up on a oheer t' oook, and I wish
t' th' land Pap'd hurry his-self an* git
t' town arter that there stove pipe
It'd be a heap handier t* hev that
there stove down on th' ground.'
"Of oourae, 'we-uas' agreed with the
good woman that her complaint waa
well based; but we praised her clever
ness and originality in utilizing the
kitohen table. Probably not one wo
man in 10 million would have ever
suggested that way out of the domes
tic difficulty."
How Does The Spider Spin Its Web?
I was very much interested in an
artiole that appeared in your paper of
August 23 about the mystery of spi
ders stretching their webs across high
ways and other long distances,
Every observing country boy has
noticed these wonderful feats of the
spider in suspending his bride from
one point to another, high in air.
My father has often told us how he
and hia father, whilo crossing a bridge
over the Merrimack Hiver in Bosca
wen, N. H., early one morning, saw a
spider's web extending olear across
the river from one point direot to
another, a distance that must have
been at least 250 or 300 feet. The
ann was just appearing over the tree
tops and shone upon the web, so that
it was distinctly seen the entire
length. They speculated how the
spider could have spanned the stream
with his web. Certainly the web
could not have been strung by the
help of the wind, whioh, nine times
out of every ten, blows down the
river in this locality. The prevailing
winds in New Hampshire are from the
northwest; and the river at thia point
flows from the northwest and runs
southeast; the bluffs are quito high
on eaoh side, from whioh it follows
that the east or west wind could not
have blowi. strong enough at this
poiot to have carried the web aoroas.
Every open-eyed countryman koowa
that large spiders can walk on
the water, or rather run. I hare
seen them frequently go BO fast on the
water that one oould hardly see thom.
I have thrown them into the water
many times, where the ourrent was
swift, to see how soon they would
reaoh the shore. To anyone not fa
miliar with this insect it would be
surprising to Bee how swiftly it can
run over the water.
My grandfather thought that the
spider ran across the river, although
the current was deep and strong at
this point. But my father oould not
an;ree to this proposition. He said
it would be impossible for a spider to
regain the other shore BO direotly
aorosB and then carry his web so high
above the water and fasten it to the
tree branohes on the opposite aide
without getting the web entangled in
the branohes in climbing the trees.
Neither of them could solve the mys
tery. I have notioed in attics and
barns that spiders spin their webs
from one rafter to another at an angle
of about 30 or 40 degrees. I Have
also seen them spinning webs from
one branch of o tree to another. They
seem to jump from one branoh and
awing on the web ao as to reaoh the
lower branoh at sometimes an angle
of 40 degrees or lesa. Webs formed
on these angles are frequently seen.
The upper cable seems to be the one
that holds the web; and below this
oable thc web is spun. But how a
web is thrown direotly aorosa a road
or river is boypnd my comprehension,
micas-the insect after having crossed
be river, attaches tho web to some
mah, theo climbs,a tree and spins
lown to the web, detaching and carry
og it to the higher branches. This
he spider oan dc, I tm sure, for I
teed to like to break the webs in order
o observe how carefully the insect
?enid piok up the broken strands,
nend them, and theo carry the broken
mds to their-proper places.-Lyman
