A Modern Sindbad.
Some imaginative writer tells the
tale of a sailor who was Ehipwrecked
three times, was in four collisions and
two fires at sea, suffered from snn-
Btroke aud -fellow fever, lost a finger or
two by frost fsite, had one' eye gouged
out in a fight at San Francisco, came,
home, married a shopkeeping widow,
who henpecked him, got out of his
course one foggy clay and walked into
the river, where he was found nest
morning still chewing his overnight
quid of tobacco, but without his glass
eye. This is the novelist's type and is
perhaps somewhat highly colored, .bnt
it may be compared with some actual
types.
Que of tho men we have in mind fell
from the main .yard and broke his left
arm before he had been at sea a month
on his first voyage ai an apprentice. On
the return voyage from Sam Francisco
he fell from the same yard and broke
one of his legs. The. vessel was wrecked
in a gale off the southwest coast of Ireland, and this unhappy youth, fata pro-
fngus, was'sayed, with three others.out
of a crew of 26, only,'however, to find
that his nest ship, laden with coal, took
fire on the other side of Cape Horn and
had to be abandoned by her crew, who
were six days in their boats before a
homeward bound ship picked them up.
His third "vessel ran ashore at the entrance to Hongkong harbor in her hurry to get inside before a Yankee with
whom she was in company. When our
friend found his fourth ship dismasted
in a cyclone in the Indian ppean, he.
came to the ponclusipn (-hati sea life,
^yhich he had been quite prepared to
like, -jvas t-c-p exciting for him and he.
decided forthwith, provided ife got safely out of that scrape, to leave it to those
With better luck.—Macmillan's Magazine. *
Charles Keade on Bare "Walls.
I had the honor once to know in London Charles Eeade, a most remarkable
and great man, as well as a great novelist of the higher realistic school. Eeade
was, above all things, a practical man.
He had the' eye of an eagle, and no
things that needed reformation escaped
it. One day, when I dined with him at
his house in London, his rus in urbe, as
he called it, he said that he had been an
examiner at a board school examination
that day and that he had been again
struck by the barrenness and unattraCi
tiveness of the average public school
room.;; "I supppse,'' said/L •-tjhatitis
a realizafcion»bf the .American idea. By
giving the scholars nothing to look at
but their books their nttention is supposed to be concentrated on their lessons. '' ' 'Jnst so,'' he said, "but it isn't.
The brain works through the eye. Those
infernal bare walls do not stimulate the
mind. They stupefy it." Here is the
statement "of an absolute fact which,
fortunately, wise teachers are now recognizing the world over.—Collector;    .
Ho-iv to See the Wind.
Take a polished metal surface of two-
feet or more and with a straight edge.
A large handsaw will answer the purpose. Take a windy day on which to
make the experiment, paying no attention to atmospheric conditions, for such
an experiment can be as successfully
made on a clear day as it can on a
cloudy one, and the • results •jSill be.'
equally good in summer or'winter. The.'
only thing you heed to look "put" 'for i'fj
ihat ypuu'dq "iiot attempt' to "see the,
wind'' pn a rainy pr murky (lay, as cont
(JitipEs are then very unfavorable,
When everything is in readiness, hold
the metallic surface at right angles to
tho direction of the wind—i. e., if the
wind is in the north, hold the metal
east and west, but instead of holding it
vertical incline it about 42 degrees to
the horizon. When this has been dono,
sight carefully along the edge of a
sharply defined object for some moments aud yon will see the wind pouring over in graceful curves almost like
water.—St. Louis Eepuhlie.
Forgot tho Violets.
Among the characteristics of Walter
Savage Landor, the famous author,
were his absentinindeduess and his passionate love for animals and the vege?
table wprld. On one occasion, having
suffered no*, long before from leaving
the key of iais portmanteau behind him,
he took special precautions before start,
ing on a journey to see that his keys
were in his pocket. When, however, he
produced them in triumph at his journey's end, he found that he had left the
portmanteau behind. Landor, though
he often handled his fellow men somewhat roughly, hated to see an old tree
felled and even shrank from plucking a
rose. Ono -morning ho collared his man
cook and flung him out of tho window.
Then, suddenly remembering on what
bed in tho garden the man would fall,
the flower loving Landor exclaimed:
"Good heavens 1 I forgot the poor violets!"        	
aiacaulay's Wit.
Macaulay, who was in the habit of
shaving himself, and badly, too, it
would seem, once patronized a first
class barber. After obtaining an easy
shave, ho turned to the tonsorial artist
and inquired:
"How much do I owe you?"
"Whatever you have been in tho habit of giving tho man who shaves yon,
fir," replied the barber.
"I generally give him two cuts on
each cheek," replied the celebrated
English historian; "but' yon, sit, being
a superior workman, deserve to fare better. "—Washington Times.

A Detroit lady, the guest at a," farm
house near Orchard Lake, had an experience lust week' when out rambliug
through the fields alone, that, she isn't
likely lo forget. Passing down a muddy lane, she ran upon an old sow and
alitler of half g'-own pigs, which were
enjoying a mud bath and completely
blockaded lhe passage. The little
woman thought best to step over the
sleeping sow without waking her. She
slepped her dainty foot over its back,
but being a .little bit of woinan, she
misjudged the distance and came down
"chug" astride of the beast's bacK.
The frightened animal sprang up with
a loud "woof" aud started down the
lane with the fair rider hanging to its
ears, and a travelling concert of little
squealing pigs following close b-jhind.
The hired man, house do;*, and whole
family joined in thecbase to rescue the
frightened guest. The old sow dived
under the fence, pushed off the rider
and tore away madly to the woods with
her family. She ha-l sustained no
serious injuries, hut the hired man
