Meaaagea From the Sea. A bottle dispatched from the steam f hip Guildhall on May 81, 1804, wlfen in 40 degrees north, 81 degrees west, ultuost midway between Brest and New foundland, was picked up on Fob, 13, WW, at Antigua, after a drift of about 4,,ri00 miles. It had evidently passed cloeo to the Azores, tho Cunary inlands and tho Capo Verdes on tho way. An other, thrown overboard from tho sloop fapi'lio on July 20, 1892, traveled east ward toward the Azores, and thenco, as in tho previous instance, until it was ro covdcd near Turk's island, north of Haiti, on Feb. 8, 18U6, after a drift of nearly i,000 miles. A bottle message from tho sailing hliin fc't. Enoch is probably the most iu n resting of the 83 drifts shown on tho United States chart. It was sent off when seme TOO milt s west of Sierra I,i cno, under tho influence of tho well known Guinea current, si tting eastward ii to tho African land. Tho master of this vessel noted on tho message that she had experienced an easterly current , f ;;(! miles during the previous day.

Cham bers' Journal. Wild Life ami the Senses. I made bold to say to Dr. Nanson that' thousands upon thousands of men who wire nut specially interested in arctio work had read his book with delight, ami that to nie the mam 1 was not that he could do what ho did in tho field, hut that he could writo truth a book about his experiences. "The best thing in it, to my notion," I said, "is your description of your dramatic meeting with Jackson on Franz-Josef Laud, and tho best part of that was your refereuco to tho manlier in which the wild man's sharpened senses discovered tno iragmenc oi too snap which the civilized European has used in his morning ablutions." "It is really true," replied Dr. San sen, frlrmt l coma smeii uum soap as plainly as if it had been a strong per fume. Johansen noted the same thing when be came up. In fact, for several days our sense of smell was w ondi rf ul ly acute. As I approached Jackson's but I thought I could smell everything it contained and givoasort of inventory of its stores without entering. In a day or two this ncuteucss wore off, and we tccamo quite normal in that as well as in other respects. But I wonder if a man were to live wild for a few years if his sense of smell would not become quite as keen as that of au animal?" Chicago Times-Herald. The Newspaper Iiogy. E. L. Godkin in The Atlantio claims that the advertiser rather than tho sub scriber is now the newspaper bogy. Ho is tho person beforo whom the pub lisher cowers and tries to please, and the advertiser is very indifferent about the opinions of a newsyaper. What in terests him is the amount or quality of its circulation. What ho wants to know is how many people eeo it, not how many people agree with it. The conse quence is that the newspapers of largest circulation, published in tho great cen ters of population where most votes aro east, arc less and less organs of opinion, especially in America. In fact, in somo cases the advertisers use their influence, which is great and which tho increas ing conictition between newspapers wakes all tho greater, to prevent the ex pression iu newspapers of what is prob ably the prevailing local view of men or events. There are not many newspapers which can afford to defy a largo adver tiser. Horn It Felt. A worthy old gentleman who had never wandered far from his nativo township beforo went to Lot-ton one day in response to an invitation to visit a relative The Bostoniau, in showing his frieud about town, took him to the top of a tall office building.

"Don't be frightened, Uuclo Silas," raid the younger man, as his visitor grasped his arm, shut his eyes and held on for life. "There is no clanger.

IT WAS EQUAL TO ALL OCCASIONS AND LASTED OVER C.IGKTY YEARS. Suspended Kellsloua Svrvlf.es Indefinitely to Nurse tho Victims or a Sum'.Ipox Kril demlo An Example In This ns Ho Was In Devotion to tho Flag. Deacon William Trowbridge was a small farmer living nuar Sheboygan Falls. He went thcro over CO years ago. Besides tilling a little patch of ground tho deacon, who was indeed tho very soul of honor and ever had tho respect and confidence of all in that commu nity, was in tho habit, beforo regular preachers wero sent there, of reading a sermon or exhorting. There was no sham about Deacon Trowbridge's piety, lie was sincerity itself. I'ifty years ago tho little village was visited by a smallpox epidemic au old fashioned, widespread and spreading epidemic and they didn't know how to scotch it as well as they do now. Tho first Sunday alter the dreaded disease madoits appearance tho deacon's congregation was quite largo. At tho end of tho services he made an announce ment in about theso words: "These services will bo postponed un til after tho smallpox disappears from tho community. From this on I shall givo my Rervices to tho stricken fam ilies. I shall minister to their wants, help to uurso them, and when they dio follow them to tho gravo. It may bo a long term or it may bo a short term, but, however long or however short, it is my plain duty to help my distressed neighbors. " Tho word was well suited to tho ac tion which followed. The good old dea con hurried to his homo, changed his clothes, bade his family goodby and at once began his work of mercy. What a work it was! Tho epidemic lasted near ly all winter. Largo numbers died. Few in the village escaped tho disease Tho deacon's example was followed by oth ers. Men went to their homes, told their wives and children what the deacon had said and was doing, arranged their busi ness, provided fuel and provisions, kissed their dear ones and went to tho aid of tho unfortunate. Liko the deacon they went without reward or hope of reward. Liko him they spent works and somo of them mouths in that service without daring to go honia lest their dear onos catch tho disease. Tho strangest of all this strango ex perience is the fact that neither tho dea con, tho good souls who imitated his ex ample nor their families were overtaken by tho malady, notwithstanding the fact that tho watchers, helpers and nurses wero almost constantly in the preseuco of tho suffering patients and notwith standing tho fact that they laid out and helped to bury tho dead. Nearly half of the deacon's congrega tion had disappeared when, tho next spring, ho resumed services in tho schoolhor.se. It was a sorrowful Sun day. Those iu tho audience who had not lost members of their family had lost neighbors and dear friends. When tho good old Christian had read a chapter, prayed and talked a practical sermon, he referred feelingly to the scenes through which tho community had passed. I think every man, woman and child in tho room, including the deacon, went. At the closo of the talk he asked all present to join him on their knees in asking that tho community might escape such visitations for all time to come. It was n most earnest appeal. I believe that that prayer has been an swered. Thero may have been a few cases of smallpox there since then, but thero has never been an epidemic. Tho Sunday after Sumter was fired cpon, and while Deacon Trowbridge was conducting services in tho Baptist church, tho denomination to which ho belonged for over SO year;!, ho and his congregation wero disturbed by a great commotion in the street right in front of tho church. Thero wero beating of drums and sounds of lifo much out of tune. It was so uncommon a thing that most of tho congregation walked or ran out of tho church. Filially the dea con closed tho Bible and slowly follow ed his fleeing flock. hen outside, no asked tho causo of "this unseemly dis turbance on tho Lord's day." Some ono told him that tho president Had called for soldiers to uphold tho honor and the flag of tho nation and that they wero going to raiso a company right then and there. Tho old deacon's eyes tlasiieu as no walked out into the street, wnero a young fellow was irregularly pouniung a bass drum, ana sum; .uu.hi, know it is Sunday and that all but tho Lord's work ehoukl bo abandoned, but tho saving of our country and tho shielding of its flag from dishonor is tho Lord's work. Give mo unit arum. And that model of piety strapped on the big drum and went to pounding, greatly outdoing JNatnau m two re spectsho matin more uoisu mm uyv perfect time. Ho drummed as no one beforo had never drummed in tho little village. As if it had gone on lightning Wings, word flow through tho commu nity that Deacon Trowbridge lnvl left his pulpit to beat a drum, and on Sunday too Within half an hour nearly every ono in town and many from tho outskirts had gathered around tho old drummer, all cheering him, and oil Sunday too. That night Nathan Colo, who had been relioved us drummer by the deacon, went to Sheboygan with enough men to mako up what became Company C of the Fourth Wisconsin. J. A.

Shorthorns, Ilcrefords and Devons havo been im ported weekly, and a crossbred English stock now fills tho "corrals" of tho great beef and bovril companies of tho llio do la Plata. Iu North America this Anglicizing process has spread to all tho states of tho Union. Half bred Ilcrefords and Shorthorns aro taking the place of tho common cattlo of tho States on near ly all tho ranches of the beef producing districts, and tho colonizing capacity of different English breeds is recommend ing them for special districts. Thus the Devon bulls aro purchased for ranches where tho search for pasture and water needs special activity and cuduranco, and red "polled" or hornless Stiff oiks aro used where cattle aro being bred for transit by rail or ship because tho ab senco of horns is then convenient. Even tropical Brazil follows tho fashion, and English Jersey cows aro seen demurely walking through the forest paths by tho coffee plantations and English terriers and pug dogs sit on the laps of Brazilian ladies. . Whether tho Jersey cattla will multi ply on tho planters' estates timo will show, hut tho spread of our colonizing animals, which aro now invading simul taneously the plains of Patagonia and tho north Canadian territory, does not limit its progress to tho direction of the poles. Iu India tho English horso be comes a colonist by second intention, in tho form of the "waler, " a sounder and stronger animal than tho majority of British hackneys. His value, as com pared with tho native breeds of Asia, is still undetermined, but wo must accept his presence and survival as a fact. Loudon Spectator. Soap. Tho first distinct mention of soap now extant is by Pliny, w ho speaks of it as an invention of the Gauls; but bo that as it may, tho use of soap for wash ing purposes is of great antiquity. In tho ruins of Pompeii a complete soap man ufactory was found, and the utensils and somo soap wero in a tolerable state of preservation. The Gallic soap of eighteen centuries ago was prepared from fat and wood ashis, particularly tho ashes from beech wood, which wood was very common iu Franco as well as in England. Soap is spoken of by writ ers from tho second century, but tho Saracens wero tho first people to bring it into general uso as au external cleans ing medium. The uso of soap is thus described: "When examined chemical ly, the skin is found to bo composed of a substance analogous to dried white of i'KU.: in a word, albumen. Kow, albu- men is solublo in the alkalies, and when soap is used for washing the skin tho excess of alkali combines with tho oily fluid with which tho skin is natu rally bedewed, removes it in tho form cf nu emulsion, and with a portion of tho dirt. Another purtiou of the alkali soft ens and dissolves the snpeilieial stratum of the skin, and when this is rubbed off tho rest of the dirt disappears. So that every washing of the skin with soap re moves tho old face of the skin and leaves a new 6ne, and wero the process repeat ed to excess tho latter would becomo attenuated. "Philadelphia Ledger.

"Give n dog a bad name," is au old saw, and perhaps n true one, hut when it is applied to the bulldcg it is mani festly unjust. Writers, too, have fallen into gravo error in claiming that tho bulldog is deficient not only in affec tion, but in intelligence. fctouohenge, who is considered one of tho greatest cf canine scientists, claims tbur. tho Imlldou's brain is relatively larger than that of tho spani-d, which dog is generally considered to bo the most intelligent of the cauiuu race, while tho bulldog's affection i.s ui.ver to bo (bullied Outiug.

Artisiini wells ev.uk in tho fahara desert appear to find cu abundant sup ply of water withoi rr. going very tit p for it, and this fact may in timo put a new face on di sert conditions, involving iiiipoitr.nt political, climatic and eco nomical consequences. Tho English have begun sinking them along the Berber Suakin road, finding water there as abundant as it was in tho regions near the Kilo when their first experimental wells wero put down. Flowing under tho Saharau sands thero may bo water enough to fertilizo oases all over its sterile expanse and rescue it in a meas ure from its historic barrenness and desolation. Some years ago a French engineer proposed to tut a canal from tho Mediterranean to tho lower desert levels, thus creating a new inland sea, or, rather, restoring an old cue, but for somo reason the project was abandoned. Local irrigation by means of artesian borings is a more judicious expedient, and, tho English having pointed the way in this direction, the French aro quite likely to follow it. Only a narrow desert belt separates their possessions in north and middlo Africa, n aching from tho Mediterranean to the Niger, and it is quite worth their while to fertilize it and plant it with palm groves and dato orchards if possible, at any rate to pro vide water enough to supply their pres ent caravans ai:d peibai s their future locomotives.
