(3s, . A Fierce Battle With Ruthless Chl be nese Pirates-A Tale of Disaster at Sea-A Cowboy's Nerve. ly TN the year 18, writes W. L. ug Merton, in the New York Ledger, piracy had become a crime of so es | frequent occurrence on the east he coast of China that, upon the suppli -le cation of a body of ship owners in to Hong Kong, the British Admiral upon that station resolved to take strenuous is- measures for its suppression. A strong, teak-built bark, the "Rajah," was lying in port, waiting for a char tO ter; she had been an East Indiaman, is and though anything but a fast sailer, st was a sturdy old vessel that would r stand any amount of battering from s. the Chinese trading junks of those le days. The Admiral saw the captain d and consignees of this ship and made Af arrangements with them that she >r should ostensibly be placed on the a. berth for Shanghai, receive a fictitious n- cargo of apparently great value, be a- secretly armed and equipped, and sent -s out to be preyed upon by the pirates. )f A large quantity of rice was first sent on board; then many long, heavy cases, supposed to contain machinery, but really Armstrcn- -ins and Minie rifles; flour barrels hall filled with powder, and lastly, under a strong , guard, fifty treasure boxes, duly marked as specie from a well-known ,, bank; the dollars, however, were ts spherical shot and shell. The blue peter was hoisted, the vessel duly cleared and towed through the Ly-ee d, moon passage by a small steamer, one m rather foggy afternoon.. The last and most necessary thing now remained to be aooomplished, viz., the shipment , of a crew of "blue-jackets," and that, t of course, had to be performed under ' cover of daikness, and when the i "Rajah" was fairly out of harbor. a' I was one of the few in the secret of the expedition, and alter much per w suasion the captain of the bark per mitted me to accompany him. Two days prior to our departure several heavily armed tai-mungs (trading to junks), of most suspicious appearance, i. left port, and we had but little doubt II these would prove our adversaries. We anchored at a given spot near the it entrance tq the Ly-ee-moon, and, ob scured from sight by the fog, two . boats, with muffled oars, containing a forty men-of-war's men and two offi. a cers, came oil to us, and, silently as possible, we proceeded to the work of mounting the guns, and getting everything ready to give a warm re ception to our foes. Before morning broke all this was accomplished; we n weighed anchor, and stood out to sea. - The morning breeze lifted the mist l which had enveloped us, and as we sailed in, on the port tack, towards Mira Bay, we descried a fleet of five large junks dodging about under easy eail, and evidently edging towards us. We let a few ropes hang slack, and f four men laboriously hoisted a fore topmast stfddding sail, to give us an appearance of being a short-handed and slovenly ship; then hauled it down again as it would not stand, and sailed along most unsuspectingly. Presently the five junks managed to hem us in a circle, and a heavy shot hurling through our mainsail bespoke the real character of our erstwhile consorts. We immediately tacked ship and pretended to flee, but before we 1 were well out of stays-for the "Rajah" was slow on her heel-the junks ranged right alongside, and, af ter delivering a heavy volley, com menced to board ns. Then our ports ilnawopen- nrcrsehing broadside was ppured into the vessels of our assail ants, and the fight began in earnest. Up went the St. George's ensign to the peak, and a ringing British cheer drowned the cries and imprecations t of. ourenemies, as a terrific hand-to. hand fight ensued. The tars were in their element, and how they did fight ! Steady and sure was every blow struck, I and every death-dealing gun fired. i Our decks were bestrewn with thet corpses of our foes; three junks went down beneath the ruddied waves, bearing the living and the dead; but c still the battle was not ended. The other two tried to steal off in different i directions, but we followed up the one f and sank her with our heavy metal; t the other would have outsailed us, but d her main-mast had been shot away. e and we ranged up to her. We called on her to surrender, but she turnel t like a tiger atbay, snarling her rage t and hatred till she too sueaccumbed to Neptune. Lieutenant .Mainwaring, our com- , mander, was a brave, kind-hearted v sailor; he had the boats lowered and t sent to pick up many of our foes who a were swimming around. They would C not accept the proffered suoor, but chose a present watery grave to a gibbet that loomed inthe future. It was dogged courage they displayed, s, and I could have pitied any but esuch ruthless fiends as they. b The fight was over, our mission ful- *, filled, and now all that remained was I to muster our crew, olear up decks and sail back to port. Six of the c "blue-jackets" and two of the "Rajah's" crew were killed, while over 1 a dozen of the rest, including the . second lieutenant, were more or less wounded. The loss on the pirates' h side must have been fearful, as each b boat contained over a hundred men. 1 We received quite an ovation on our ,0 rcturn .to Hong Kong, and Chinese , pirates, for some years after, had a b good, wholesome dread of molesting foreign merchant vessels. Thrilllingllescue of a Crew. When the British tank steamer ol Snow Flake, from Penarth, arrived at le Philadelphia recently, a thrilling tale a, of disaster, suffering and rescue of a to crew of twenty-one men from an aban t doned ship was unfolded. The rescued men composed the crew of the Nor. th wegian ship Senta. re It was on March 16 last that the al Seata set out from St. John, New lii Branswick, for Newport, England. w1 From the time of leaving she encoun. t, tred westerly gales and waee tossed a violently for nearly two weeks. The crnucial test came early on the morning of April 1, when a tornado 2 was enoountered. The water was rap- L, idly flowing into the hold and Captain Heavig ordered al hands to man the t3 pamps. The erew worked desperately, but in vain. Almost like a ash the entire deck load of deals, waur ewqp e be ard, [, nThe main and mnizzen masts went nex and the rigging was torn into shreds, The life-boats were smashed and ear. Et ried away, and the rudder wasbroken into a thousand bits, leaving the ves. sel utterly helpless. 1- All hope was abandoned and the ir ship was rapidly breaking up when her distress signals were sighted by the Snow Flake, whose captain or. dered the life-boats lowered and a B heavy fine was thrown and made fast to the wrecked vessel This acted as i a bridge and prevented the life-boat from running too close to the Sen" ,. n Hand over handi the men slil alone is the rope, and as fast as the life-boat A became filled she was rowed L.vok to the Snow Flake anl then returned for r- another load. Mate Cook, of the Sne~ Flake, and four sailors manned the life-boat, and to their efforts is id ascribed the saving of the Senta's crew. 0 ' The crew will be provided with tem n porary quarters in this city. The Sents was built in 18i8 and was of 2008 tone register. She was aban te doned April 2, in latitude 48.20, longi tade 29.20. re Narrow Escape of a Cowboy. a. Presence of mind and cool nerve at are what H. Fersten, a cowboy, pos y sesses to a marked degree. To these b, e owes his life, which seems to have e hung on a slender thread one day last h week, writes a Butte (Mont.) corre g spondent of the Philadelphia Times. .y He left Billings early one cold morn n ing, riding a horse and leading three 1e bronchos. He crossed the river to go to the Crow reservation, where there y is no settlement, when his horse i slipped and fell. This caused the lead e horses to jerk back, throwing him d from the saddle and entangling his o legs in the rope. The frightened t horses then ran, dragging Fersten, who realized at once his awful danger r and lay on his back. e It was necessary to act quickly. So with rare presence of mind and con ,f summate coolness he reached for his knife, opened it with his teeth, but in slashing at the rope had it knocked o from his hand. He then reached il around to his hip and drew his revol g ver. Suffering severely from contact ", with the hard, frozen ground, he man it aged to fire, but he did not hit the . nearest horse fatally. Then he fixed e again, this time bringing down the ,- horse, to which he clung in such a o manner as to relieve him from further g bruises and, the strain of the rope, i which had already broken a small a bone in his leg. The horses soon k stopped, when he was able to extricate g himself from the danger of his situa ,-tion. He immediately mounted a g horse and returned to Billings for e medical aid. This instance deserves to be put down as one in which rare t presence of mind and nerve were dis e played under the most trying circum s stances. But the hardy cowboy only e smiled and seemed to regard it more y of a joke than anything else. He blamed himself for being caught off i his guard and in snoh a position as to - be dragged by wild horses. 1 Dominoes in a Lion's Cage. A game of dominoes in a lion's cage I was the novelty reeent:y offered to the bewildered gaze of the visitors to a menagerie. The players were the "tamer" and a worthy citizen who, on the strength of a bet, had entered the 3 habitation of the king of bca.ts. Seated > quietly at a table which had L:een brought in for the purpose, the pair got on very well for a time, the lion watching their movements, apparently with intelligent attention. He seemed, however, to arrive at the conclusion that the game was a poor business, after all, for instead of allowing the two men to finish it in peace, he snd denly made a dash at the table and sent it spinning with the dominoes in wild confusion into the air, much to the horror of the onlookers, who feared that a shooking catastrophe was impending. The amnteur, however, was not slow in taking the hint. On the contrary, he lost'not a moment in bolting out of the cage, and the relief was general when he succeeded in putting the bare between himself and the demolisher of the table. The lion appears to be a very magnanimous creature, for dor ing the next performance he allowed a friend of the fugitive domino player to pay him a visit, and actually con desoeaded to accept fronm him a piece of meat presented as a propitiatory offering. "As, after doing justice to the morsel, he began to regard the in trader with wistful eyes, and by other tigas and tokens to manifest an incli nation to make a closer acquaintance with him, the tamer promptly inter vened- and anotherstrategic movement to the rear was executed, fortunately a with succees.-Paris Letter in Chicago f Chronicle. Narrow Escapes. Adam Vandever, one of the original ecttlers of Tallulah, Georgia, was a smoous hunter and -trapper. The d historian of Georgia related several of ' .\r. Vandever's hairbreadth escapes, :rem which we select the following: At one time Mr. Vandever was en camped-on a lofty mountain in Union County. To make an observation of his surroundings he climbed an im- P men a boulder which stood on the d brow of a precipice. Just then he heard the howl of a wolf in the woods below. He stepped to the far side of a thei boulder, hoping to get a glimpse of the enemy. As he moved, the great b rok, which chanced to be delicately balnnced, began to roll and an instant iater it .was plunging over the preci. i 2 ce. * Fortunately an oak tree drooped 1 over the boulder, and in that moment P of peril thewoodsman gave an upward h leap and gr'aped one of the branches t and hung suspended inhiidair while the great stone went crashing down the mountain aide. "I felt my hair turn white," sald the old gentleman afterward, "when I h realized how near I'd come to. going vi along with that rocking stone. The 0o limb I hang to wa'n't over stout, and when I swung back from over the e'it and dropped to the ground I felt 1 , weak asa baby." It is said that enterprising New a ugnland hunters who live near the b boundary line of Maine and New ~l.mpshire are taking advantage of t:.e bounty laws of each State and hu::ing double pay for each bear 'ied. New Hampshire pays so much h e each pair of ears, while Maine spa tally by the nose. S AGRICULTURAL TOPICS, ruPaCs siN THn GAIDN. ) Concerning growing peaches in the garden, American Gardening says: "The possibilities of well-cared-for Strees in the home garden are scarcely to be imagined. If one build'a smalL r chicken yard about a newly set tree a he may have the tree in bearing next It year, and wjh a head equal to that of the ordinarftree set twice as long. at The chance seeding, in rich and favor able situations, may give two bushels of choice fruit at four years from seed, wt without a particle of culture." 0 FEEDING SITTING IIENS. X Sitting hens never get fat. In faet, ; with some of the persistent sitters of i9 the Asiatic breeds, the semi-starvation 's to which they expose themselves is, perhaps, better for their future as egg z. producers than high feeding would be. Le Still it is not best to let this starvation )f go too far. The hen will not eat nor 1. drink much, but if food and drink are . offered early in the morning, some of both will be taken. We never feed a sitting hen anything but wheat, and do not give very much of that. It is more important that the hen drink freely than that she eat much. She will sometimes drink if milk is offered to her at night. With wheat in the Smorning and milk at night, the hen will lose fat, but will be healthier and ready to go to laying again by the time her clutch of chickens is grown large enough to care for themselves. e oston Cultivator. KEEPING UP FERTILITY. d One of the surest marks of a goot n gardener is that he is always on the a lookout to have on hand an ample d supply of fertilizing matter for the soil. How reasonable that is, and yet r strange to say one meets with persons who, judging only by their acts, seem to think that plants do not need food. . They need it quite as much as do.ani s male; both grow from that on which n they feed. It is true all cultivated d soil contains some plant food in the d shape of vegetable humus, deposited there in one way or another in the t past. But the good gardener looks upon present fertility as a sort of e revenue, and sees to it that enough d manure is applied to the soil each year e to meet the needs of the current crops. a It would be a lesson to some amateur r gardeners to visit the successful mar ket gardens of our large cities and see I how, year after year, thick coats of manure, thirty o;r forty tons to the e acre, are applied.-The Silver Knight. SEED POTATOES. r The tests of the Ohio Experiment s station indicate that home grown seed a potatoes will give as good crops as any northern grown seed of the same varieties, provided the seed potatoes Sare well kept, but the yield is materi a ally lessened and the ripeningrotarded a if the seed potatoes are allowed to f sprout and the sprouts are broken off, as usually happens when the potatoes are kept in a dark cellar. Many potato growers keep their potatoes sucoessfnully,'especially in the northern part of the State, by burying the potatoes in pits, covering to a shal. low depth at first and adding layers of straw and earth as the weather bo comes colder. The ideal method of keeping seed t potatoes is in cold storage. Potatoes thus kept at the Ohio station have come out sound and fresh, with no indica tion of sprouting and the vitality un impaired, even so late as the first of June. It iseimportant, however, that the temperature of the cold storage room-should not fall below thirty-five degrees, nor should it rise much above forty degrees. When cold sto:age is not available, sprouting may be in some measure prevented by shoveling the potatoes over frequently. While the sprouting of potatoes un der ordinary cond;tions is very ob jectionable, they may be so sprouted as to materially advance their earli ness. This is done by placing them, stem end down, in single layers in shallow trays on the floor, in a light and moderately warm room. Thus placed they will send out short, stubby, green sprouts which will remain in that condition for weeks. Such pota- a toes, planted without breaking the & sproats, will grow immediately and produce an early crop. In Terror From Mluskrats. f Residents of Waltham are in terror a of their hlves, because of the preys. t lence of mushrats of a huge size about h the streets. These rats are supposed a to come from a number of old drains a about the city, in which they breed, and sally out at night to attack peace- d ful pedestrians. Early one morning Conductor W. b F. Phelps, of the Fitahburg Rallroad, "o was coming down the railroad track b and was attacked by a large rat,which a tried to fasten its teeth in the con- a ductor's leg. .The latter drew his re- o volver and fired two shots into the rat h before it was killed. A few nights ago Dr. Fred M. Stiles fi had a death strugg!e with a rat which lay in wait for him in front %f his house on bMoody street. Dr. Stiles picked up a barrel stave in self defince and hit the rat with it as the latter rushed at him, but it brokeo short off in his hand, and the animal sprang at him again and again, until b it was finally stunned by a lucky t blow. It wsas as large as a grown cati and had teeth two inches long. But the nerviest attack was made upon Patrolman Gaumon. A rat jumped on him and climbed up his I legs, biting him all the while. The policeman drew his club and after a hard struggle succeeded in beating off the animal.--Boston Herald. u Wales on eools. . The Prince of Wales has a great b aversion to brown leather bookt.

Every. is, stain will disappear and the blades will 33 be brighter than if rubbed on the e. board in the usual way. They will )a want another rinse in water, and a or final polish with a cloth.

Once a day, at breakfast, without sugar, it appears in the list. 'u White bread dried out in the.oven, and lean roast beef, steak, or broiled re chops three timesa day are permitted. 1n Fruit she advises to be used sparingly, and never in thelatter part of the day. The surprises in the ist are that cof fee should be allowed at all, that meat should be provided in abundance, and P fruit sparingly. Finally, plenty of 1e green salad, with all the salad oil, in le a French dressing made with lemon, ie that can be taken. Fat around the at nerves, she says, smooths them out 1S very quickly.-New York Post. i- THE PORTAL TRELLIS. h The beautiful spider web tracery ef d feeted in rope work is one of the 10 artistic devices for, "bringing down d the ceiling," i. e., shortening the ap. 1e parent height of a doorway where Ssliding door and portieres are in use. f Sometimec the upper space is occupied h with strips of ornamental open wood ir work. Bqth these decorative schemes s. involve dusting. The wood lattice lr work can be freed of dust by patient use' of the' bellows or a soft end of !e cloth used in the crannies. This is a ,f dangerous performance, because it 0 must be done on the step ladder. If , the rope work has been gilded or silvered it should not be dudted ex cept with a feather duster, because handling will make the metallic sheath d crack off in flakes. y - e CLEANING FURNITURE. s One reason why people fail in clean ing furniture coverings is that they d are too economical in the use of naphtha. It must be literally poured on to be effective. Standing in the 5 breeze, it will evaporate very quickly, and will destroy every vestige of r moths. If the articles are to be left e in the house, they may be wrapped in sheets tightly pinned around them. This keeps a certain amount of the odor in the furniture for a long time, and renders it doubly safe. It cannot be too strongly emphasized I that no light of any kind must be s taken into the rooms while the naphtha-cleaned articles recently finished are there. The inflammable nature of naphtha vapor makes it ex- t ceedingly dangerous when brought near a flame. Cnshions,carpete and wool draperies may safely be cleaned in this way, and i all that is necessary is to throw all d draperies over a line in the yard, open k the windows, remove the wrapping from the furniture, and let the breeze have a full sweep through the rooms n for a day or two. Then there will be o no offensive smell, and the furniture ,, may be used with perfect safety so far as danger from fire is concerined. Carpet Trade Review.

' A singular discovery was made a few years since, by some workmen en gaged in the Spanish allverjnine known as the White Pebble Pit. While dig ging their subterranean passages they suddenly found a series of apartments, in which were a quantity of mining tools, left there from a very remote period, but still in such good preserva tion that there were hatchets, and sieves for sifting the ore, a smelting furnace, and two anvils, which proved the earliest miners had great experi ence in their operations. In one of the caverns there was a round building, with niches, In which were three statues, one sitting down, and half the size of life; the other two were in a sahnding position, and about three feet in height. This building is supposed to have been the temple of the god who was believed, in pagan times, to preside over mines. Several objects of art, and some remarkable Instruments, were also found, which have led scientific persons to think that the workings might have been made by the Phoenicians, the people who, as is well known, were, in the time of Sol omon, famous for their manufacturing and commercial genius. In 1854 a discovery was made by some miners excavating on the other side of the mouintain on which the White Pebble Pit is situated; this was a fine figure of the heathen god Her cules, which was found in an old work lng. In digging for copper on the shores of Lake Superior, in this country, the miners have made many similar dis coveries, showing that the mines were worked ages ago. AN ATHLETIC TRAINER, tsaz Beuteer, Who Ti Connected!wlth the University of Chicago, In carrying out the new ideas of athletic training at the University of Chicago Trainer Max Beutner will play an important part. His great success with the football team last fall made the students anxious to retain him for the training of the track and baseball teams. The contract was speedily closed, and for the next six months the fortunes of the candidates will in a large measure depend on "Max," as the students are fond of calling him. The / - MIAX BEUTNER. trainer himself says that Chicago will have a winning team, and he is not in I the habit of making exaggerated d clarms. He has already succeeded in C inspiring an enthusiasm among the stu dents that has hitherto been an un- P known quantity, at the University of Chicago. Beutner's first claim to fame was made at the Manhattan Athletic Club of New York in 1887. He was then n 'ander the tutelage of "Jim" Robinson.

"A year ago last fall," said the professor, "I broke down with nervous exhaustion, and was unable to properly attend to my duties. I tried different physicians but with no relief, and also used many different pro; prietary medicines, spending almost lftj dollars for these medicines alone. I tin succumbed to a selge of the grip in the middle of winter, and was left in a muab worse condition. My kidneys were fearfully disordered, and my digestion became very' poor. I was ifdeed ins bad conditio. "A minister in conference learplan of im condition advised me to tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I had heard much about the wonderful ouptive power of this medicine, but it was with reluctan%e' that I was finally persuaded to try it, as i seemed that nothing could do me any good. However, I procured three boxes of pills and took them strictly according to dire. tions. By the time the last dose was takes I was almost cured, and in better health than I had been'Toryears. Icontinued usng the pills awhile Alnger and was entirely cured. I can cheerfully recommend Dr, Williams' Pink Pills for Pale.People.
