Prince Adalbert, the German emperor* third son, is being trained as a "sailor prince." It la the fashion in these days for all royal families to have a "sailor prince." No first class royal outfit is complete without one, s^.y.s the New York Press. In order to have a really good "make-up" for the part a "sailor prince" should know a little something about "sailorizlng"—not too much, but enough to speak the lines and go through the motions. Well played, it is a mighty popular role, and adds much to the ef i of the royal and imperial drama. Prince ir.-hry of Prussia is the present German -;itlor prince, and young Adal bert, who will be sixteen next month, has ' mated as his uncle's suc r. His fai!>-!- recently gave to him Lt, built In the latest style at the imperial docks. The yacht arrived by train In Ploen, and every day the happy owner t ikes his lesson in her upon the Capt. yon Ammon, an experienced Fi!!or, has been appointed to instruct lalberi In the intricate art of ng. The young man is to take his lirst long voyage this summer in a traln !.:;; ship. Before the death of the Duke of C!ar ence, England's sailor prince was the Duke of STork. Having 1 by the death of his brother been railed upon to take the more important part of heir presumptive, the duke has given up the minor role almost entirely. His uncle, the Duke of Edin burgh, who preceded him in the part, having become a reigning rluke in Ger many, is not considered eligible for the place again, and England will have to ■wait until one of the Duke of York's Tvpys 13 old enough to go into training for it. Although France Is a republic, she still has a sailor prince, the aged Prince de Joinville, who in the days of the Orleans dynasty played the part in such a man ner that all the world applauded. No one has approached him In It before or since. In dress, in manner, in speech, in looks, he left nothing to be desired. No bluff ami hardy sailorman that ever trod Hie decks of Pinafore was quite as salt as the Prince de Joinville used to be. He was a "dash-my-tarry-toplights, shiver my-timbers" sort of a sailor prince, and the French, as they gazed at him rolling down the Paris streets, felt that at last the supremacy of perfidious Albi.m on the eea had been destroyed. Italy's sailor prince is King Umberto't nephew, Prince Luigi, who has been put through a regular course of instruction In all that pertains to the part, and who has visited this city as an officer of an Italian warship. So proficient Is he that the German Emperor, who is a good Judge of such things, has given to him an hon orary commission In the German navy. Russia's sailor prince Is the G:and Duke Admiral Alexis. His nephew, Cyril, now twenty-fcur years old, his b-en trained to succeed him. Prince Gpoige of Greece played the part of royal sailor with a great deal of suc <•'• is, end made himself popular in It. Now that he Is governor of Crete he naturally would be succeeded by his next youngest bio: her. Prince George was well trained for the part, but his brother baa had no instruction or practice in it nnd will have to work hard to get up hia ''lir.es." King Oscar, of Sweden and Norway, before his brother's d^aih called him to the throne, was a most successful sailor prince, and when he became king the part went to his son, Prince 0.-car. When Prince Oncer fell In love with and married jNliss Ebba Munck he was obliged to re nounce his right of succession to the throne, and ceased to be a royal person- Hls title of commodore was not taken away from him, however, and he was allowed to call himself Prince Bern ndotte, so he may be said still to be Sweden's sailor prince. This Is eminently fitting, for his great-grandfather, Bein tidotie, who founded the fortunes of the family, was a private of marines In the French navy. wbSl ra^\ ts.'\ VJLO tew* IT frequently settles d!ffl;<:!tles that would otherwise lead to the waste of much :imo effort and money.

PLAGUE, MUTINY AND HEROISM ON THE HIGH SEAS. Now came a most trying time. Not a breath of wind ruffled the surface of the water; the ship rolled gently on the oily swell, with all her aAils—even to the royals—set, to catch the slightest stir, says Chambers' Journal. The deaths con tinued with alarming rapidity, and then, as Lampsey had said, there was actually nothing wherewith to weight the corpses. The steward, Ross, the Scotch sailor lad, and one or two of our own private native servants—under the stimulus of reward paid down on the nail at so much a head —their mouth 3 and noses muffled in car bolio saturated towels, constituted the burial party. These men, penetrating 'tween decks, dragged the corpses up the hatchway, across the deck and pushed them through the gangway doors, just as they were, for there was little time and less inclination to sew them up in canvas, as had been done at the outset. Being unweighted, the bodies refused to tsink; the sharks, moreover, did not ap pear to fancy them, and, being impelled by the same current, they kept by the ship's side, bobbing up and down, rolling over, now ou their backs, now face up, In the most horribly grewsome fashion. We In the cuddy were fast becoming de moralized as well; then the wretched Punjabis crowded at the doors and ap- BUNCO GAME IX THE BRU3H. T X & r_* J^ w-->v^^__--^ Mr. Monk—Here comes a Rube!

We told them that we should hail the tirst steamer and get her to tow us into a wind which would not only il 11 our sails, but blow the cholera out of the ;hip. In the mean- Li mo we exhorted them to be patient and obey the doctor In all things. Several steamers passed, going In the same direction, but too far off to com municate. At last, on the tenth day of the calm, we sighted a two-funnel steam er hull down in our wake. She came on slowly, and as she drew abreast of us about a nolle away wo hoisted our dis tress signal and anxiously awaited the re sult. In a few minutes she replied, whereupon we displayed a whole line of bunting; on reading which she altered her course and ranged up to within speaking distance. •'Steamer ahoy!" shouted our skipper through his trumpet. "What steamer's that?" ••Wesit Indian!" bellowed a voice from the other's bridge; "Jeddah to Bombay. What ship's that?" "Zenobia; Annesley Bay to Bombay. '•What's the matter?" "Cholera! Will you tow us through the Straits?" "Sorry we can't. Port engine broken down; much as we can do to get along ourselves. Can we help you otherwise? Have you a doctor?" "Want medicines?" "No, thanks; have lots. Goodby." "Goodby!" In another minute she put up her helm and resumed her course. "There's no 'elp fort but to wait for the next," said the skipper. True, there was no help for it, so we put on the best face possible, and called on cur fortitude and patience to aid ud. Presently the crew again came aft, thia time on their own initiative, their de meanor more truculent than before. Whether the disappointment had irritated them, or whether, owing to the existing dislocated state cf affairs, they had man aged to gain access to the spirit room, 1 do not know, but their bearing now was mutinous. "Capt. Hutchlnson!" culled Lampsey roughly from the main deck. "Well?" replied the skipper, going to the rail, whither we all followed him. "We ain't a-goin' to stand this here no furrer—we ain't!" "Ain't yer? Suppose you think a3 that there steamboat with 'art' a lung could •a" towed a twel\fc hundred ship—do xf r? ' "What we thinks or doesn't think ain't neither here nor there, but I tell yer what, this ship's a coffin—she Is, and we ain't a-goin' to stop in her—we ain't! Jest yer come along to the fo'castle and take a whiff o' the stink as comes through the cracks In the bulkheads, and then say if Christian sailurmen can stand it any long er !" " 'Aye patience, can't yer?" Another steamboat'll be along presently, and we'll stop 'er." "We calkilate as we've drifted pretty considerable out o' the course, and ne'.-r a carft'll be a-eomin". this way, so we've made up our minds what ter do, and have come to give yer all a chanst in wid us.'' "Well, out with it! What 'aye yer mado up yer minds to do?" "Take to the boats, and leavo the tub and the niggers to theirselves." "They'll all be dead afore a week, so will us if we stop here. The ship is sartin to be picked up by some darned salvager." "Well, all I 'aye to say Is," replied the captain, leaning over the rail, and speak ing impressively, "that the first as touch es lift or tackle I'll put a builet through 'im as sure as God made little apples!" "I guess more nor one can play at that game!" exclaimed Lampsey, shaking his fist at the captain. "Come on, mates!" he added to his fellows, and the whole crowd made off to the forecastle. A storm v.'as brewing, and we unanimously rang ed ourselves on the side of law and or der. 1 and the other passengers fished out our revolvers, loaded them, and stuck them in-our belts; the skipper similarly armed himself and the officers, and sever al of us, descending the poop ladder, cast loose the two small brass guns which the ship carried, and trundled them into the cuddy. Rob, Corsy, the steward and the lad Ross, all came aft, while the crew, gathered in clusters on the forecastle head, appeared to be deep in consultation. Thu3 there ensued a lull. We were in the cuddy, talking over the state of affairs, Rosa at t he wheel, and O'Kelly, the chief mate, on deck looking out for steam ers. 'The poor plague stricken Punjabis frequently came to the door and asked if there were any signs of a wind, for they had evidently become imbued with -the truth of what we had told them earlier In the day—that a breeze in all probability would rid them of the scourge. The at. mosphere was dense and hot,without tho .slightest breath of air, and we sat anx ious and watchful, expecting at any mo ment to come to open loggerheads with the crew. "Below there," suddenly cried O'Kelly through the skylight. " 'UIlo," responded the skipper. "Sure, sir, It looks black and tkreaten- THE ST. PAUL, GLOBE, SUNDAY, JUNE 24, 1900. lnff to the westj It's a breeze of wind, I'm thinking." At the welcome words we all follow ed the captain and rushed on deck. The mate pointed to tho west, and, true enough, the horizon in that direction presented la. dark brown aspect. There was Eomething in the air, too—ln the oppressive stillness—that presaged an at mospherio disturbance of some sort, and we eagerly waited to hear the captain's opinion. "A sand squall, by thunder!" exclaimed he. " 'Twill be down on us In no time! All hands take In sail!" he roared, In the direction of the forecastle. "Be smart, lads; 'tis one o' them confounded tornadoes." "Stow yer slack as well as yer sails yerselves!" retorted Lampsey, with hia hand to hlB mouth. "We ain't going to budge!" I don't know what may have passed through the captain' 3 mind at this ter rible juncture, for every sail was 6et, and a squall fast bearing down on the ship—a full rigged ship, fitted with the .ttiore cumbersome and old fashioned tackle of that day—carrying quite 600 souls all told, allowing for the deaths, and a valuable government cargo. I know not what he contemplated, I say; but at that moment an unwonted com motion was observable among the hith erto apathetic Punjabis. They, too, had noticed the change in the sky's aspect, and, following our glances, had heard A bg? uM^r-^^%^k "Why, how do you dot" the short altercation between poop and forecastle, had seen the threatening ges tures of the disputants, and, without tmderstandlng what wa3 "being said, guessed its purport. Then scores of them, suddenly shaking off their leth argy, and Ignorant of marine etiquette, swarmsd up the poop ladders and asked what was the matter. Was a breeze coming at last? If so, why did not the sailors do what wa3 ordered? They knew enough to tell them that the canvas ought to be taken in. Devine and I, who were the only men on board conversant with Punjabi Hindustani, hastily ex plained the situation, the_ advancing storm, the consequent danger to the .ship, clothed as she was to the mast heads, and the refusal of the crew to do their duty The Mahometan mule drivers at once realized the situation. "We will make them!" they shouted, their blood now thoroughly up. "God has sent the wind to drive away. the cholera, and shall we go to another death because your men are untrue to their salt? No; we will aid you! You are our protectors! After Allah we look to you and will stand by you! On. then, in the name of God! We will force these sons of defiled mothers to do their duty! Before we could stay them some 200 Punjabis rushed along the main deck and mounted the forecastle. The crew was ready to receive them. There ensued a fierce fight; knives were freely used against the now infuriated natives, who were, however, entirely unarmed, their eutlessps being in chests below dteks. Shrieks and groans assailed our ears, and we were about charging forward, revolvers In hand, to quell the disturb ance, when, numbers having gained the day, we saw the sailors driven aiong with kicks and cuffs by the victorious Punja bis; we saw them ascend the ratiins. followed by the swarms of mule drivers, who threatened by gestures to throw them into the sea if they did not imme diately furl sail. The seamen, not dar ing to disobey, worked in fear of their lives, and in a few minutes the Zcnobla floated the bare poles. With a low rumble the squall came on. Sand was in the air; it invaded our eyes, nostrils and mouth; the hurricane struck the ship with terrific force and swept on, leaving us well nigh on our beam ends but safe! The gust proving to be the precurser of a stiff but favorable breeze, sail was speedily made on the ship, and in due course we bowled along toward our des tination, thankful for our deliverance from a combination of perils that once seemed to threaten us with annihilation. Only two deaths occurred after that terrible day. Next morning the crew expressed contrition for their behavior; the Punjabis, now full of renewed spir its, came aft In a body and interceded for their late antagonists; cuts and bruises were forgotten, and both parties shook hands in token of amity and ab sence of lllwill. The . skipper, nothing loath, accorded his forgiveness, ordered ! extra grog to be served, and so, with out further adventure or misadventure, we arrived safely In Bombay harbor on the 28th day after weighing anchor off the Abyssinian coast. —-"^^»— RUSKIN HAIL FOR AMERICA. Two Labor RepresentatlTes to Come From England Tliis Month. London Times. In recognition of the establishment at Oxford of Ruskin hall, the gift of Ameri cans for higher education of British workingmen, the trade unionists have started a British subscription for the es tablishment of a similar institution In America. Two representatives of organ ized labor, Messrs. Bowerman and Sex ton, will sail on June 16, and it Is hoped by that time the whole of the money needed, about £4,000, will have been raised. On the previous day, June 15, the anniversary of the signing of Magna Chart a, tn'o farewell meetings will be held in St Martin's town hall, and the speakers will include the bishop of Lon don and Sir Walter Besant. The dele gates will convey not only this very prac tical evidence of British good will, but an invitation to American labor organi zations to send some hundreds of repre sentatives to an Anglo-American conven tion at Oxford next February. Numerous bodies of working people in this country are already electing delegates to that convention. In which the British colonies also will be represented. The discussions will last three days, the most notable gathering being fixed for George Wash ington's birthday, February 22, but the questions dealt with will not be decided until the delegates return home, the votes being sent through the post.

It was there that Mme. Blavatsky, the high priestess of theosophy, claimed to have spent a seven-year apprenticeship, and it Is In this abode of Lamaism, If any where, that the laws of nature are re versed by the will of man. On the marvels of this country of de mon worship D. Henry Llddell has con tributed a highly interesting story to the current Home Magazine of New York, extracts from which follow: "One Brahmin," he says, "by years of asceticism, fasting and contemplation, had attained remarkable occult powers. He could cause himself to be levitated through the air, and once floated over the heads of an assemblage of devotees at Orissa for a distance of more than 100 yards. He stated that for the perform ance of gross feats of a material charac. ter the assistance of earth, or nature spirits is required. For the perform ance of illusory or magical feats of power, such as flying through or walk ing upon the air, resisting fire, producing objects from afar, causing the abnormal growth of plants, or the transportation of things through the air, the aid of the elementals, or Jlnns, is always required, and is readily available. GENII FRIENDLY TO MAN. "These beings a«bound in the elements, occupying a midway position between Sc If "*^»J — if Mr. Leo—Why, I'm so glad to see you. the spiritual and material, and are very powerful. They delight to aid the hu man adept, regarding man as their god, and believing that the labors they per form In his service benefit them and help them to advance in the scale of be ing. "The performance of the Bokts, or wonder-working lamas, are quite as as tounding in their way as those of the In dian fakirs, who are Mohammedans, or of the Sanyahis or Yogis, who are Brah mins, but they are usually terrible and revolting. A Thibetan Bokt, who had wandered from his native land and pene trated as far as Benares, gave an exhibi tion of his wonderful powers In one of the vast temples of the Holy City a few years ago. He was accompanied and as sisted by a mongrel crowd of half-hu man compatriots. The exhibition prom ised by the wonderful magician was tru ly an astounding one. He proposed, in view of all beholders, to rip up his ab domen, remove a handful of Intestines, display them to the spectators and then return them again, and heal up the wound by a few magical passes, leav ing no vestige of the damage inflicted. AN ASTOUNDING PERFORMANCE. "When the hour of noon arrived the lama appeared and took his seat before the raised altar, on which candles had been lighted. Before him was a radiant image of the sun. and on either side of the altar were grim idols which had been placed there by the attendants. "The lama was In person a small, spare man, with fixed, glittering eyes, an ema ciated frame and an immense mass of long black hair, which floated over his shoulders. He appeared altogether like a walking corpse. In whose head two blazing fires had been lighted, which gleamed in unnatural luster through his long, almond-shaped eyes. He was about forty years of age, and report alleged that he had already some four times pre viously performed the great sacrificial act he was now about to repeat. "from the moment this skeleton figure had taken his seat the seventy fakirs who surrounded him in a semi-circle be gan to sway tlielr'bodies back end forth, singing meanwhile a loud, monotonous chant in rhytfmv-with their movements. In a few minutes the gesticulations of the fakirs Increased almost to frenzy; they tossed their arms on high, bent their bodies t&: earth, now forward, now backward, now swung them around as if thrown by iheUjanda of others.

He took the oppor tunity to disclaim the idea of antago nism either to the old universities or to the university extension movement, but ha pointed out that those working-men who had been sent to Oxford by the co operatora had without exception joined the professional classes, while only eighteen of the university extension cen ters had more than three workingraen among their students. The new move ment, he said, was for the education— especially In constitutional history—of the men who would spend their lives in the artisan ranks, and who at tho same time required knowledge for the formation of wise opinions on matters connected with national development and international relations. ened and their senses distracted by the clamor. On every side of the auditorium braziers of incense were burning. Six fakirs swung pots of frankincense, filling the air with intoxicating vapors, while six others stood behind, beating metal drums or clashing cymbals, which they tossed high with gestures of frantic ex ultation. For some time the howls, shrieks and distracting actions of this maniac crew produced no effect on the immovable lama. He sat like one dead, his fixed and glassy eyes seeming to stare into illimitable distance, without heeding the pandemonium that was ras ing around him. 'Can he be really liv ing?' whispered one of the awe-stricken Englishmen to his neighbor, but this Ques tion was speedily answered by the series of convulsive shudderings which at length shook the lama's frame. His dark eyes rolled wildly, and finally noth ing but their whites were to be seen, spasm after spasm threatening to shiver the frail tenement and expel its quiver- Ing life. The teeth were set, and the features distorted as In the worst phases of epilepsy, when suddenly, and just as the tempest of horrible crlea and dis tortions was at Its height, the lama Beized the long glittering knife which lay across his knee, drew It rapidly up the length of his abdomen, and then displayed. In all their revolting horror, the proofs of the sacrifice in tha pro truding Intestines. LAMA WAS STILL ALIVE. "The crowd of awe-stricken ascetics bent their heads to the earth In mute worship; not a sound broke the stillness but the deep breathing of the spectators. At length one of them, who had wit nessed such scenes before, addressed the living creature—for living he still was, though he uttered no sound nor raised his drooping head from his breast—and said: 'Manl can you tell ua by what power this deed of blood is performed without destruction of life?' " 'The lama is all Atma (soul) now,' responded a thin, shrill voice from th« bleeding wreck before us. 'Fo keeps the manas (sense) until the work is done.' " 'But why Is that work necessary?' re joined the querist. 'Is it right?' " 'To show that life and death are his. Fo can withdraw the Atma and give it back; It is his will to show his pow«r.' " 'Is the lama then dead now?' " 'The City of Brahma (the body) is empty; Brahma Atma has retreated.' " 'How long can the Atma remain ab sent?' " 'He returns even now. See, he wings hl3 way hither, and must now enter the city's gate or it is closed against him forever.' " 'Yet a moment; the Akasa (life prin ciple), has it left the flesh that is severed —cut?' " 'Not yet; try it; It la warm; but soon the Akasa will ebb away if you will de tain the Pltris, who guide homo the At ma.' "The querist did not, as invited, exam- — "That monk was a pretty good sort of a fellow." lr.e the wound, nor even approach the ghastly figure nearer than to examine the anatomy of the intestines laid bare. A dead silence ensued. The living corpse moves. It raises its quivering hands, scoops up the blood from the wound; bears it to his lips, which breathe upon it; they then return to the wound, begin to press the severed parts together and remake the mutilated body. The fakirs shout and send up praises to Brahma: the drums beat; the cymbals clash; shrieks, prayers, invocations resound on all sides. The fragrant incense ascends; the flute players, planted on the outskirts of the estate,*pour forth their shrill ca dence; the harps of some European serv ants, stationed in a distant apartment and previously instructed, send forth strains of sweet melody, amidst the fran tic clamor. "The ecstatic makes a few more passes, and, after wrapping a scarf previously prepared over the bofly, as if to cleanse it from the gore in which it was steeped, suddenly he stands upright, casts all his upper garments from him and displays a body unmarked by a single scar. FASTED FOR SIX WEEKS. "Subsequently questioned concerning this strange and hideous rite, he declar ed he had fasted for six weeks previous to its performance, partaking of no oth-r sustenance than bread, wa:ir and a few herbs. During the ceremonial he Insisted that he felt nothing, heard nothing; stated that he had been lifted up to paradise, and beheld beauties Ineffable, and par taken of joys which no other mortal could know. When asked to flo bo, ha exhibited the parts that had been sever ed, which only retained a small rid^y white line about three Inches in length. This, the Bokt assured the Investigators, was unusual, and might be attributed to the Akasa or life fluid which the faklra dispensed. There were too many of them, he thought. Had there been less, or those prejjesnt less zealous, the parts would have cohered instantly. As It was, the life fluid bubbled up, and by its excess, caused that seam. He expected to reduce it by manip ulations. "All lamas have not the power to operate these prodigies. Those, for ex ample, who have the horrible capacity for cutting themselves open are never found among the lamas of higher rank. They are ordinarily simple lamas of bad char acter, and held In snail esteem, by their colleagues. The lamas who are sensible generally asseverate their horror of spec tacles of this description. In their eyes all these operations are perverse and diabolical. The good lamas, they say, have It not in their power to execute things of this kind, and are careful to guard against seeking to acquire the im pious talent. OTHER UNCANNY FEATS. "The above Is one of the most notable siefa, that is, 'perverse powers' possessed by the lamas. Others cf a like kind are les» grandleose and more in vogue. These they practice at home and not on public occasions. They will heat a piece of Iron red hot and lick It with their tongues. They will make incisions in their bodif^s and an Instant alter not a trace of the wound remains. "The low-class lamas are equally facilo in the performance of other feats, quite as revolting and certainly as wonderful. They will stlze a bar of white-hot Iron, place It between their teeth and upon tho tongue, and finally, c!o?lng their lips noun it, hold it in the mouth until it becomes cold. Or they will lake a great knll\j or dagger and thrust it through their cheeba or arms and legs, or Into their sides, without apparent injury. The feats per formed by the Indinn fakirs for the en tertainment of the globe-trotting foreign era, such as the mango trick, the disap pearance of a little boy thrown skyward, the automatic movement uf heavy bronze basins, &c, they consider mere child's play, and ordinarily refuse to perform them. "The powers of the higher grnde lamas are quite as extraordinary, and It la claimed that they can be reincarnated at will. "A Florentine traveler succeeded In penetrating In disguise to Potala early in the century, shortly after the death of a Dalai Lama, and describes what ho saw, in connection with the reincarnation of the Buddha who had taken up his abode in tho body of a young child. REINCARNATED AS AN INFANT. " 'An altar Is ready in the temple to re ceive the resuscitated Buddha found by the Initiated priesthood, and recognized by certain secret signs to have reincar nated himself In a new-born infant. The baby, but a few days old, i 3 brought into the presence of the people and reveren tially placed upon the altar. Suddenly rising to a sitting posture the child begins to utter in a loud manly voice the fol lowing sentences. "1 am Bud-Jha; t am his spirit, and I, Buddha, your Dalai Lan a, have left my old decrepit body at the temple of • • • and selected the body of this young babe as my earthly dwelling." f "The Florentine says he was permitted by the priests to take the baby* In his arms and carry It off some distance, so as to satisfy himself that It was no trick of the ventriloquist. The Infant opened fcla eyes and gave him such a look that it mide his flesh creep, and then repeated the same words, so there could be no mistake about It. This account Is con firmed by Abbe Hue, who states that Ltw child answers questions onri tells those who know him In his past life the most exact details of his anterior earthly ex istence. "This incident Is inexplicable, but It Is not without collateral support from inde pendent sources. Other reputable writers have written of equally wonderful mani festations of like churaoter In other lands, but Thibet is acknowledged by all investigators to be i,rc-emlnently the land of magic." MISTAKES IN MAKING CHANGE. Any Hard-and-Faxt Rule Iteaut-ct- lngr Correction May Work Budly. I^ast Sunday morning a lady In heavy black attire, carrying an umbrella, a fan, and a prayer book, took an electric car at the station and sat down In the seat next the rear door, says the Boston Transcript. When the car reached the point of her destination the conductor had just gone forward to take up the fares. She signaled him to stop, and held up a bill to pay him. The conduc tor took the money, and, without a sus picion of Impatience, handed her back the change. Meanwhile the car waited. "You should have come for my fare earlier," se remonstrated mildly. She got off at last and the car went forward and stopped at the next crossing to take on another passenger. Just then the lady In black began to make violent gestures from the distant crosswalk. "What's the matter with her now?" ask ed a youth on the rear platform. "Kick ing about her change," growled the con ductor. "Ring the bell and go on," re turned the first speaker. 'She has a right to what is due her," exclaimed a young woman with spirit. All was silent in the car as the black figure came trot ting through the mud aa rapidly as her long skirts, prayer book, fan, and um brella would let her. "See," she said, catching her breath as she came within speaking distance, and still holding the change the conductor had given her, "see here! You have given me too much!" This reminds me of an incident which I witnessed some yeJMrs ago in the Old Colony station. Th3re was at that time a very stuffy and ill-mannered tick et seller at the window. One day he sold a ticket to a suburban passenger, who paid for it with a bill, and gathered up his change and passed on a few steps before -he counted It.

An Immense Sum Expended Annual ly In Thl» Form of Sport. Chambers' Journal. As to the sums spent on shooting In Scotland so large Is the total that It Id a difficult matter to arrive even at an approximate estimate. In Perthshire alone there are 4G5 shootings, <>t which about four-fifths are let to tenant*, .md bring in about £150,000 a yf-ar, or an aver age of £400 a year, which seems about a fair estimate if It be borno in mind that this is an expensive country, and that fifty of its best shootings foteta £35,000, or an average of £700 a year! In the whole of Scotland there are about 4,000 shoot ings, and as each of them must at i employ one keeper and ono gillie during the shooting season, some estimate may be formed of the money expended in wa?es and the number of people employ ed. In the deer forests and on the larger shooting* there will often be from four to six men permanently enga^ei], and from six to eigrht others working Cm the shooting season only. In a well known forest where I once spent rctu,ny pleasant days there were three foreatQEg, three gillies and three ponymen out each day; on the grouse ground there ■ three keepers, with three underk*-eperH, a kennel man, and two carriers going to and from the nc-are.U rallw ty station—a total of eighteen m^n and flv<i horses, not to mention the ponies kept for ridiriK into the forest and those kept to any grouse panniers. On thi9 property rifles could stalk each day, while thtce other parties of two each could ahoot grouse, or the six could combine for driv ing. On Sabbnth Denerral ion. Philadelphia Inquirer.
