Value of th. Searcn uM Search lights have becomo irtdispenBable to steamors of all classes ana in military and naval operations. By their use objects miles away can be revealed and illumined in the darkest night, and their powerful beams of light can be thrown in any direction. One of the earliest applications of the search light in marine- work was to vessels passing through Suez Canal. Formerly the passage could only be made in daylight, and was very tedious and costly; now the electHo light is at the service of every ship as it ntera the canal, and the journey is, in nearly every case, pursued uninterruptedly. A most welcome innovation has been made by the Suez Canal authorities, who have pronounced that it shall be obligatory after Oct. I nest on all vessels passing through the canal by light to omploy an apparatus for dividing the light of the projector into two divergent rays. 'Approaching vessels may, by this moans, travel right up to each other without their respective helmsmen being blinded. The diverging apparatus which is to be used has been divised, by one of the agents of the company.

The only instrument used puroly for punishment in English jails nowadays is a crank handle weighted heavily with lead and working heavily inside a box, an indicator, atfa slit recording the number of revolutions made 8.0CO to 11,000 constituting a day's work. Among the purely mechanical labor is included the working at the crank handles of the hugs water pump and by cranks, too, all the meal used in the prison is ground, but in the case of the corn-grinding the prisoner may rest as often as he likes provided he gets through his allotted task.

I CHAPTER VII. Continued. The letters were not read. They were too sacred evon for the ear of a friend as true and devoted as Charles Manning. The college life experienced hy Louis was often the subject of conversation s and Charles was deeply interested in the studies in which Louis had engagod, and was delighted when listening to anything pertaining to cither the text books or the college lifo. He was fascinated with the essay Louis had rend at his graduation. 'Time and tune again Louis had recited it at Charles' request. . various questions were discussed and Charles was constantly seeking inforraatidn upon any subject with which Louis was familiar. That Charles Manning was keen, bright, intelligent, and intently apt, was apparent to all who were intimate with'mm. He possessed a remarkable memory, and he stored his mind with every event Louis had recounted. Not satisfied with relying upon his memory he kept a diary, and at night all the conversations and incidents of the day were recorded. Nothing was overlooked. So the time came when Charles knew as much of the lives of Louis and Mary as they did themselves. CHAPTER TUX SHIPWRECKED. "A little more breeze to-day," said Capt. Bodfish, one morning after tho vessel had been becalmed for nearly a week. - "The air gives signs of a coming storm, and when it does come may the good Lord keep and preserve us. ' Even as the captain spoke a trace of a dark cloud was dimly visible away to the west. To the captain's experienced eye the tufts of uncarded wool, so slowly moving along in the direction of the vessel, so near the blue sky and yet so close to the 'green ocean, meant that the calm had ended and that a storm was beginning. The rapidly given orders of the captain were quickly obeyed and the gallant crew made the preparations possible for the good ship to receive tho gale and ride through It. The winds came as though they had used tho days of calm to gather force from all the ocean and all the sky, and in their madness they seemed to see on all the broad expanse of surging waves but one frail ship to wrestle with, and that one taey wrecked as it it nan oeen roaae 01 paper and manned by littlechildren, EVery mast and every spar, and every stitch of canvas, and every soul on board, save five, were swept into the sea. The life boats were torn to pieces as though made of cloth. When the storm ceased and the sun appeared, all that was left of the Lucky Star was a hull, dismantled, dismasted, rudderless, and water soaked. The captain and tbe two clerks, Louis and Charles, had lashed themselves to a capstan which protruded a few inches above the shattered deck, and when the storm was over they were still lashed there and still living. Two deck bands had tied themselves to one of the ponderous anchors which hung over tho ship's side, and they, too, were saved five souls in all five human beings on a wreck, and, as far as they knew, without food or wator, or even hope Qf rescue from a grave the sea; and, in fact, with nothing but life left them. What was that worth? On being released, after the. storm had somewhat abated, the men counseled together as to what was best to be done. It was evident that the hull would go to pieces should there come another storm or should the wind continue blowing for any great length of time as it was blowing then. Even while the conversation was going on, the ship swayed to and fro as if making a desperate effort to keep its place on the water. Suddenly it broke apart and all that was left of the ship went down beneath the waves, except a portion of its prow, to which the shipwrecked band clung as their last hope of rescue. When the hull parted, boxes, barrets, packages of various sorts, and pieces of the wreck, came to the surface, and, as they floated by, the mon boldly risked thoir lives to secure some of the debris. Providence helpod them, and before nightfall they had stored on their frail craft two barrels of water, a tierce of rice and a cask of brandy. The prow they were on was a compartment by itsolf, and aerain. providentially, tho severed end was not stove in or damaged, and to all apSearances, was water tight and might oat until a storm should wreck it. There was no fire nor any way to provide one. The rice, soared in water, was their food. The water was used sparingly. The brandy was dealt out as medicine. For days and nights the craft floated. One day they sighted land, and when they were close enough they saw rocks upon which their Btrango craft must surely drift for they had no means of controlling it and they would be lost within sight of land. Instead, however, of floating directly upon the rocks, as was expected, there came a wind from beyond the cliffs and surged the craft along tho shore and away from the rocks, until rounding a point, tho cliffs abruptly ended, and then tho bree.o from the sea drove the boat ashore and beached it where the wator was but a few feet deop. The little band was roscued. They were rescued from tho dangers of the deep, but who among thorn know but there might be greater porils to encounter on tho land than they had escaped from on the sea. Thanking God for their deliverance from death by drowning, they again consulted as to theh-future movements. Around them they saw evidences of a region being inhabited, but whether by civilized people or savages, by friends or foes, was a subject of the gravest apprehension. The following morning they set about on a tour inland. Before starting on their uncertain journey they gathered Withes, which they broke from slender trees and bushes, and twisting them into a rope made fast their boat to a trunk of an old tree. They took with them what was left ot the cask of brandy, and a supply of wine which they carried in a basket made of leaves, and most gleefully they turned their backs upon the ocean. Their progress was slow because they were weak, and their limbs, from long inaction, refused to do the work expected of them. Before nightfall they not only became satisfied that they were in tho neighborhood of a habitation, but thoy observed various evidences of civilization. Trees cut smooth and clean, as with

mmmmmxss"lmlmm -

a sharp instrument, were lying on the ground. A trail was struck during the afternoon, and this was fresh, and made by camels, and that the camels wore being led was evident from the tops Of bushes being eaten off only near the trail. In tho morning, after a night's sleep on tho ground, the little band resumed their march. Hardly were they under wftv when a human being appeared in their path, with outstretched arms, diSputed thoir right to advance. Soon other natives came to their companion's assistance, and a conference was held by the somi-dusky inhabitants of tho now-found land. One of their number stepped a few feet in front of the group and motioned the castaways to approach. The meeting was a friendly ono, evinced by the natives falling on the ground, and bowing their heads in the dust. After the story of tho shipwreck had been told by sijjns. tho leader, in very bad, broken English, gave tho newcomers to understand that yonder, some miles distant, was a largo village to which they would be welcome. Tho Americans'wero at once mounted on camels, and t he caravan moved quite rapidly towards the designated village, reaching there in the early afternoon. Truly a strange and rharvelous combination of fortunate circumstances. In the wilds of an unknown continent, this shipwrecked crew find a race of beings, who, while they are not savage, are not civilized, but aro superior in intelligence, in manners and customs to the Indian or African. The ittle raiment that clothes them is of European make, indicating that thoy are in communication with European merchants and Europoan civilization. It is ascertained that some leagues distant is a river, that a trading point has been established there, and once a year a ship from a distant foreign land comes there and exchanges it's wares for the goods tho natives nave to sell. There are a number of dllages tributary to this trading slatitJn, and while the inhabitants spend their tune chiefly in indolence and idleness, they all manage to accumulate something to trade for the merchandize the ship brings. The Americans embraced the first opportunitvtojoin a caravan on its way to this trading port. . Reaching t here they find a large village whose inhabitants have nothing to do but receive the articles brought by tho caravaus to trade for the ship's goods. CHAPTER IX. ANOTHKR MYSTERY. The Americans made themselves quite useful to the natives while waiting tho arrival of the ship. They claimed a system of water supply, by whioh water was brought into tho village from a lake beyond the cliff. The water for ages had been brought in rude Duckets, but the inhabitants joined in with zest to dig the trenches, remove the pulp from tho logs that were to be used as wator pipes, and in an intelligent manner carried out the plans whioh Captain Bodfish designed. Louis and Charles were not as inseparable as formerly. While by no means unfriondly, they were less in each other's company. Louis spent much of his time with tho natives, and with one or more of thcril would make long journeys into tho edges of tho jungle. Tho natives took a greater liking to him than to either of the others. He alone was shown where the diamonds were to be found, and, under a pledge of secrecy as to the locality, was permitted to search for them. He secured many valuable ones, which he Intended, at the proper time, to divide with his companions. Charles interested himself in t he herbs and roots the natives were gathering. Making, constant injuires as to the use and power and effect of those that were considered the most valuable. He watched the natives dive in the deep water for tho sponge, and he became familiar with tho process of cleaning and curing them for tho market. He was ever on the alert to learn something that he might turn to advantage afterwards. He often helped the natives distil the herbs and proparo the drugs for packing. He was the first to learn to converse with tbe natives, though this knowleBge was more a matter of signs than of words. In the groat wilderness and waste, and among those strange people, as on the Lucky Star, Charles Manning was an apt scholar, quick to grasp the tiling that engaged his attention, and whatever ho learned or sought to learn, was to aid him in carrying out the chief object Of his lifo. But who beside himself know aught of what that object and purposo was? The time was near at hand when tho expected vessel might heave in sight. The Americans were full of glee over the promised event. When the rejoicing was at its height, and they were congratulating each other over the prospect of once again joining their kindred and friends at, thoir dear old homes, Louis was taken sick. With each passing hour ho grow worse. Of all tho knowledge, of disease and. its cure possessed by the natives tho young man had tho benefit. Charles was by his side constantly, and claimed the privilege of taking sole care of his friend, and ho nursed and watched over him with all the tenderness of a sister or a mother. One more attendant almost forced herself on the sick youth. She was a, young maiden, a brunette of wonderousi beauty. She ciairaati to do tno great, physician's daughter, and from her father she had learned the cure of (li eases peculiar to tho climato and ttm Eeople, and she knew the uses of thu'i erbs that grow on tho hillside. She had a complete knowledge of thtv! effects on tho system of the varKxis poisonous roots which the native, gathered for the market. She knew the antidote to each, and where to find it, and how to administer it in C8S0 of peril. What interest, if any, more than a womanly affection for one in distress, this maiden may have had in Louis wan known only to herself, and possibly to ' Louis himself. Be that as it may, the la-.l continued to grow worse. Tho herbs' that were so marvelous in thoir cures failed to bring relief. Tbe ship came in. Louis was bolstered up in his cot , and through the open door saw tho ship at anchor only a few rods distant. His heart was now beating strong ami fast. The blood filled his voins almost to bursting. Tho thought of scoing his mother and the other loved ono so deaf to his heart, possessed all his feeMpgs, was tho full measure of all his hopes, and filled to the brim his cup of happiness. For the moment, he forgot he was sick. Forgot that there might be far less distance between him n!)d his God than between him and his betrothed. The ship had sailed from a port in Holland and the captain cheerf 11 Unconsented to take the Americans 011 board, and, if opportunity offered, to transfer them to a ship bound for an American port. The ship physician at once went ashore and visited the sick yout h, that he might minister to his needs, an l help convey hlnr on board tho vessel. Ho found Louis sinking rapidly and unconscious. The roaction had set in and he had not tho vitality to resist it. The physician attempted to rally him with stimulants but that proved unsuccessful, and when the last boat was preparing to inako tho trip to the ship the doctor pronounced Louis Patterson dead. Living when all hope was gone and only

sea and sky and the remnant of a dismasted bark to leave on. Dead when liopo had returned and a ship, with sails and masts and rudder, and men to man it, was ready to take him to his home! It was then Capt. Bodfish rose to his full statue of a noble manhood, and knowing what he had to contend with, and looking tho doctor, wno still had hold of Henry's hand, square in the eye said: ''Doctor, as God lives, that body must go 011 that ship." Tho doctor comprehended tho full meaning of that command. It was made by one used to having his orders obeyed. Tho captain turned his head and gazed devoutly upon the beautiful face of the lad who seemed to be calmly sleeping. The physician was in deep study and evidently a great conflict was 'going on in h'is mind. Charles, kneeling bv the side of tho cot, had bowod his head, as thoitgh overcome by anguish. Several natives who had been intimate with Louis', stood in tho background, eager witnesses of the sad scene. Tho doctor, letting gotheWload boy's hand, and returning Capt. Bodlish'6 gazo, at last replied in almost unintelligible English: "Sire, that can never be." Capt. Bodfish knew too well what that meant. He had made too many obean voyages and understood too wcll'.tho superstition of sailors as rogards a dead body on ship board to niako any iuthor appeal. Helpless and powerless ho was compelled to submit. Hastily t he arrangements were made for tho burial of poor Louis' body by tho natives. Several of tho moro intelligent among them imposed oaths upon themselves that they would giv'p tho doad a Christian burial and mark tho spot with a fitting memorial stone. Then came the speedy preparations for the departure of tho captain, Charles, and tho two men. Ttears trickled down the face of the holiest, kindhearted captain as ho took a ' last look at his young friend, while Charles could find only sobs to tell the extent of his sorrow. (TO BE CONTINUED. A TRAIN EXPERIENCE.

A Man Who Could Talk with Bis Teeth and Wink Knowlnfffy. Well, I had an experlenco on the train coming home from the East recently that I will not forget very soon," said Dr. L. C. Can- to a leporter. "As our train was nearing Chillicothe an old-lookig man, grizzly and unkempt, with an awfully tough straw hats supporting him.elf with a cane, for he had a lid case of anchylosis, (stiffened knee-joint,) came thumping along throMgh the narrow passageway of the sleeper and looked into the smoking compartment, where John Kearney and myself sat enjoying our cigars. The fellow glanced in but an Instant and then stumped away again. I remarked to John that that was a pretty toughlooking customer, and. he replied: " 'Why, don't you know him? That's John T. Norris, the detective' "Well, we got on the train at Chillicothe, as I wanted to snd a telegram, and we met Narris at the telegraph offlce. He stepped up to iuo and said: " -How d'ye do, doctor?' "1 returned his greeting, and then ho said: " 'You don't know me, do you?' " 'No,' 1 said, 'I never saw vou be. fore to-day.' " 'Well, you aro Ir. Carr of Cincinnati.' he said. "Yes,1 1 said. "Well, doctor, 1 met vou for a moment one day In September, 1878. It was at Dr. Minor's offlce in Cincinnati, and we cot to talking about the Carrs down in Virginia' "Then it all came back to me. Ho was rlcht. I was astonished. ' 'Why, Mr. Norris,' I satd, 'that was fifteen years ago; 1 did not wear glasses then, and I was not as heavy by forty or fifty pounds as now. Iwas a little slim tellow. ' "'Yes, Iknow,' said lie, 'but I recognized jie when I put my head in at the smoking room.' "Well, we had some little time to wait at Chillicothe, and Ntorris made it lively for us. " 'Doctor, let mo have a silver dollar, will you?' he asked. "I knew be was up to some trick, but decided to get done up and never squeal. I handed over the dollar, lie took it, and balancing it on his touguc, beuan to whack it against his upper teeth. Of course I thought this was only a pttoludc before niak. log it disappear for good, and regarded the crazy performance with some interest The operator sat there looking at Norris, apparently as curious over those antics as myself, thoueh, ot course, not so anxious about the dollar. When Norris got through he turned to the operator and said: " 'What did 1 say?' " 'And the operator replied: " 'Do vou know Robert Carr of West Virginia, or tho Carrs of Virginia?' ' "Why, the old rascal was telegraphing all the while, and that operator sat there reading it. After wo had recovered from that, ho said to the operator: 'Watch my eyes,' and be sent a message by winking his eyes, and the oiierator took that off. " 'Wo have to know all these little things in my business,' said Norris, as he stumped away with his cane and stiffened leg." Cincinnati Times-Star. Model Havings Bank. The Greatest savincs bank in this country is the Provident Institution of Boston. It was started iu IM", and has run until this time with, to uso the words of its President, Henry Lee, "not tho loss of a dollar by dishonesty." "There is a tradition," said Mr. Lee, "that the bank was founded partly at the urgent request of good Bishop, afterward Cardinal, Chovcrus, that his 'people,' as ho called them, might have a place of deposit, so as not to spend or loio their little savings. "A few years later, at the Bishop's suggestion, the plan of partial withholding of tho bank's earnings and tho declaration of surplus dividencs every live years was adopted. This was to induce the same people to keep as well as to deposit their savings in the hank." The institution now has over iio, 000 depositors ana over 35,000,000 iu deposits. The largest depo it which the management is allowed to accept is $1,000 The lank in the early period paid f) percent interest., but the rate is now 1 per cent Tho surplus dividends every five years are ;io longer paid, as the law of the Male now requires the setting aside of a reserve fund.

Ho had discovered in some musty old tome a long-forgotten law that no person who owned stock iu the United States bank, which .Tackson broke up, could hold a seat In Congress. If the principle of this law was good then, it was good now; and ho wanted to know just how many Senators' interests were hampered by this silver legislation. If the number whose faces showed astonishment, chagrin, or alarm was any indication, Mr. Stewart's shot had winged about four-fifths of his colleagues. Senator Hill was the first to lino up in battle array. With a flush that crept up over the bald spot until it disappeared in the fringe of hair behind his ears, the New-Yorker, shaking what tho Honorable Tim Campbell called his "long, acquitive finger" at Stewart who glared truculently, denounced the resolution as an outrage, and demanded that the heel of denaterial disapproval crush and bruise Its head. "Whoso business is it," Mr. Hill askod, "what Senator or who owns any Investment, provided he is lucky enough to have it and come by it honestly." He could not believo that Mr. Stewart offered that in good faith. Mr. Stewart lieat a tattoo on his desk with his fingers and was visibly disturbed at the tone and vigor of Hill s remarks. He was just coming down tho main aisle to make a furious reply when Mr. Hawley, who had been all the while writing a letter, suddenly shouted, "I object!" Stewart turned In his testy way and glared, but Mr. Hawley said ho objected to further discussion. "Well, object," said the man from Nevada, 'but I give notice that 1 will have all the time I want tomorrow." And so the matter drags. Routine Proceedings. In tbo Senate Tuesday mom In? Mr. jqulra, of Washington, gave notice ot a subsiitato which he Intended to offor for the bill to repeal the silver pnrchosu act, and It was read in fall. It permits tbo deposit of silver bullion by its owners and tho coinage thereof into standard silver dollars, of which ho is to receive only Iho amount corresponding to Its commercial value. The colnapo It not to exceed 94,300.000 a month, or $800,000,000 In alL The dollars are to be legal tender, and no certificates are to be Issued. The bill to repeal thosllver pure-hare act was then taken up, and Mr. Voorhees spoke at length, urzIng a vote, Mr. Dubois of Idaho, opposed. Senators Hoar, Piatt, Teller and Metts also took part. The House transacted no business. The Federal election law caused a skirmish in the Ilouae Thursday, but no action was taken. Senator Daniel, of West Virginia, occupied the time of the Senate In a carefully preparod argument against the repeal of the Sherman law; he spoke to crowded galleries and a good Senatorial audience. During tbo course of his speech many members of tho Ilouse came Into the chamber and took scats in tho rear of Senators' chairs, or jtood atralast the wall When tho routine morning business was concludod Mr. Ptowart, of Nevada, moved to take up his resolution for a committee to InvestlRulo whether Senators were Interested In national banks. Mr. Voorhees counter-motion to proceed to the consideration of the repenl bill was agreed to on a viva voce vote which was quite unanimous, and Mr. Stewart sat down. Friday in the Senate was occupied by the advocates of tho repeal of tho Sherman law, Tho speech of Senator Lindsay of Kentucky, which was his maiden effort In tho Fenate, and his defense of Socroiury Carlisle, whoso succesiior In the f-'onnto ho Is, was received most attentively. Thedondlock In tbo affairs of tho House In order to prevent Mr. Tucker from reporting the bill repealing tbo Federal election laws to the House continues. In the Senate, Wednesday, an effort to let a vote on repeal failed. Much talk was Indulged In, but absolutely nothing was lono to forward bustiest In tho Ilouse the repeal of the Federal elections bill Is the matter In hand. A rnlo was adopted providing that upon the adoption of the irdor of business the Speaker shall proceed to call the committees for reports, mid until that order 1h exhausted no mo- ; ion whatever shall be In order or entertained by th speaker. This provoked a aiscusMon that lasted until adjournment "Wives of Famous Men. Nero kicked his wife Poppiwi, to ileath. Ti.- rlvniwnsia and a ecoldin? wife made Hazlitt's life a burden.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

The Chance of the Jack Rabbit. The tnndvi.xablcnessof disturbing the balance of nature in the rclationshipof wild animals is well illustrated by what is passing in San Bernardino County, California. A State Ixiunty of to was placed on coyotes, and this prowler of the foothills und plains was then worth powder and shot. So coyote scalps were collected to such an extent in San Bernardino County and elsewhore that tho jackass rabbit had tho restraints upon his existence very much slackened and increased in great numbers. It is hardly doubtful that thousands of rabbits aro worse depredators upon the farmer's thrift than scores of coyotes, which do not trouble the crops, but only seize a few lambs or shoeo when they get the chance. San Bernardino is now so pestered with rabbits that the supervisors have passed an ordinance voting 20 cents per pair of ears for their slaughter. There is money in this, too, and it will bo well if tho County Treasury is not bankrupted. Chinese Sorcery. Like most things in China, tho practice of surgery differs considerably from that in vogue in less on?ightened western countries. Bono sotting in tho colestial empire is a complicated affair, and doubtless much mora efficacious than Kuropean methods. In sotting a fractured limb tho surgeon does noi attempt to bring tho bones together, but.morcly wraps the limb in rod clay, inserting some strips of bamboo into the clay. These strips are swathed in bandages, and in the outer bandage the head of a livo chicken is placed. Hero comes In the superior science of tho colestial. After the bandage has been secured tho fowl is beheaded and its blood is allowed to penetrate the fracture, for it nourishes the fractured limb and it "heap good medicine." Mirrors. Ladies will bo interested as to tho subject of mirrors, and the first rocoi-d concerning them dates back to the days of the venerable Moses and thoy wore made of brass;. When tho Spaniards landed in South America they found mirrors of polished black stcuo in use amonjr the nativas. In tho fifteenth century the (ir?t triads mirrors were made in Germany by a blowpipe ana were convex, rue nrst menu, factory of fflass mirrors for sale was es. tablishcd in Venice early in tho sixteenth century. In the reign of James i., men, women, ana children wore looking glasses publicly, tho men us brooches or ornamonts in their hats ard the women at their girdles or on tncir oosoins. Crosses of tho Present. The crosses of the presont moment always bring their own special grace aria consequent comfort with them: we see the hand of God in them when it is laid upon us. But the crosses of anx ious forcbodinir are soon out of tho dis pensation of God; we see them without grace to bear them; we soo them, indeed, through a faithless spirit which banishes grace. So everything in them is bitter and unendurable; all seem dark and helpless. Let us throw self aside: no more self interest, and thon God's will, unfolding every moment in everything, will console us also every moment for all that He shall do around ns, or within us, for our discipline; Charm Against Cholera. Tho Persians resort to curious rites for tho purpose of averting tho attacks of the cholora. Ono of the most widely practiced of these is that of passing under tho Koran. Two elders stand opposlto each other, holding between them a scroll of the Koran, wrapped in a silken scarf. Under this swinging talisman the peasants pass one by ono, and then go homo, convinced that the cholora will not bo able to touch them. Tho Persians stick to theso ancient ceremonies in spito of tho fact that the epidemic is working sad havoc among them. A Rousing Idea. Hortonso What loud clocks you have on your stockings!
