His Experience Account. "When I lose anything," says a wellknown Maine business man, '"I charge it to the account of experience. You may think it strange, but I believe the good-sized sum I have already entered under that bead is the most profitable money I ever spent. Adversity is the great teacher if we but heed her leasons. I lost 8540 once in a transaction that gave me information and a proper respect for matters I had deemed of little account, from which I afterward made ?5,000. I would not sell my experience account, at my age, for five times what it has cost me, for I shan't live long enough lo get sharpened up again." Licwiston Journal. Electric Wires. Borne writer very aptly likens the rervos to electric wires, and the general working of their system to t'uat of elee'ric ears. A man who "slips his trolley" like Mi. Jeremiah Eney, 1812 W. Lombard St., Baltimore, Md., will need something better than even a ga'vanic battery to set him all right. Mr. Eney found that something in the following way. ''I snffered"' he says, "a long time with neuralgia in the head. I gave St. Jacobs Oil a fair trial and am entirely cured. In this way the great remedy acts as a mortorman to restore broken wires, and set the system to perfect action. Kossuth and His Hotter. One of the most painful trials of Kossuth's exile was his inability to be present at the deathbed of his mother. She lired in poverty in Brussels, and she expressed a desire to see her son once more before she died. The Belgian Government of that day would not grant his request to visit her unless he consented to be accompanied wherever he went by an officer of police. He might have concented to this degrading condition. says one biographer, for her sake; but no sooner did his mother hear of it than she herself forbade him to come to her, and she expired in the last days of 1852, blessing him with her dying breath. Cautioned. When Rome was under the Papal power, a play was once submitted to the prelate charged with the revision of manuscripts for the press. In the first scene, an actor is represented as sitting at a table and calling: "Waitor, a beefsteak." The scrupulous censor wrote in the margin: "'Note When the piece is playea during Lent, the actor, instead of calling for a beefsteak, will order an omelet" "Don't neglect your education.

CHAPTER lit. Continued. He drew a whittle from his side and whistled Once. There was a moment's pause. Then Tu-Kila-Kila spoko in a loud voice again. Ttiti King of Fire!" he exclaimed, in tones of princely autnorit.y. Prom within the hut there came forth slowly a second stalwart savare, big built, and burly as tho groat god himself, clad in a long robe or cloak of yellow feathers, which shown bright With a strange metallic gleam in tho ruddy light of a hue pile of li-wood. 'The King of Firo is hero. Tu-Kila-Kila,'' tho lesser god mado answer, bendiag his head slightly. "Fi-o," Tu-Kila-Kila said, like a monarch giving orders to his attendant minister, "if any man touch the newcomers on the reef before I causo my sun to rise to morrow morning, scorch up his flesh with your tlame, and consume his bones to ash and cinder. If any woman go near them before Tu-Kila-Kila bids, let her be rolled in palm-leaves and smeared with oil, and lisrht her up for a torch on a dark night to lighten our temple." The King ot Fire bent his head in assent. "It is as Tu-Kila-Kila wills," he answered, submissively. Tu-Kila-Kila whistled again, this time twice. "The King of Water!" he exclaimed in tho same loud tone of command as before. At the words a man of about forty, tall and sinewy, clad in a short cape of white albatross feathers, and with a girdle of nautilus shells interspersed With red coral tied around his waist, came forth to the summons. "The King of Water is here." he said, bonding his head, but not his knee, before the greater deity. "Water," Tu-Kila-Kila, said with half-tifsy solemnity, "you are a god too. Your power is very great. But less than mine. Do, then, as 1 bid you. If any man touch my spirits, whom I have brought from my home in the sun in a fiery ship, before I bid him to-morrow, overturn his canoe, and drown him in lagoon or spring or ocean If any woman go near them without Tu-Kila-Kila's leave, bind her hand and foot with ropes of porpoise hide, and casr, her out into the surf, and dash her with your waves, and pummel her to pieces." The King Of Water bent his head a second time. "I am a groat god," he answered, "before all otnors save you; hut for you, Tu-Kila-Kila, I haste to do your bic.ding. If any man disobev you, my billows shall rise and overwhelm him in the sea. I am a great god. I claim each year many drowned victims." "But aot so many as me." Tu-Kila-Kila interposed, his hand playinp- on his knife with a taint air of impatience. "But not so many as you, "the minor god addod, in haste, as' if to appease his rising ansrer. "Fire and Water ever speed to do your bidding." Tc-Kila-Kila stood up, turned toward the distent flame, and waved his hands round and round three times beforo him. "Let this be for you all a great taboD," he said, glancing once more toward his awe-struck followers. "Now the mysteries are over. Tu-Kila-Kila will sleep. He has eaten of human flesh. He has drunk of coeoanut rum and of new kava. He has brought back his sun on its way in the heavens. He has sent it messengers of lire to reinforce itsstrongth. Ho bus fetched from its messenger? iu turn with fresh fire :o Boupaui, fire not lighted from any earthly tlamo: firo new, divine, scorching, unspeakable. To-morrow we will talk with tho spirits he has brought. To-night we will sleop. Now all go to your homes: and tell your women of this great taboo, lest they speak to the spirits, and fall into the hanc-3 of Fire or Water. " Th.e savages dropped on their faces befo-e the eye ol their god and lay quite still. They made a path as it were from pyre to the temple door with their prostrate bodies. Tu-Kila-Kila. walking with unsteady steps over their naif-naked forms, turned to his hut in a drunken boozo. He walked over them with no more compunction or feeliag than over so many logs. Why should he not, indeed? For ho was a god, and they wero his meat, his servants, his worshipers. CHAPTER IV. THE GCESTS OF HSAVEJT. AI that night through their first lonely night on the island of Boupari Pe'.lx eat up by his flickering fire, wide awake, half expecting and dreading some treacherous attack of the unknown savages. From time to time ho kept adding dry fuel to his smouldering pile: and he never ceased to keep a keen eye both on the lagoon and the reef, in case an assault should bo made upon them suddenly by land or water. He knew the South Seas quito well enough already to havo all the possibilities of misfortune 1'oating vividly before his eyes. Ho realized at once from his own provious experience the full onelinoss and terror, of their unarmc d condition. Fo Boupari was one of those rare remote islets where the very rumor of our European civilization has hai'dly yet penetrated. As for Muriel, though she was aiarried enough, of course, and intensely shaken by the suddon shock she 1 ad received, the whole surroundings .vere too wholly unlike any world she had ever yet known to enable her to talre in at onco the utter horro: of the dtuation. She only knew they were alone, wet, bruiBed, and terribly battered; and the Australasian had gone on, leaving them there to their fate m an unknown island. That, for the moment, was more than enough for har of accumulated misfortune. Sho came to herself but slowly, and as her clothes dried by degres beforo tho fire and the beat of the tropical night, she was so far from fully realizing the dangers of their position that her first and principal tear for the moment was lest she .night tako cold from her wet tnins-a drying upon her. She ate a little of the plantain that Folix picked for h?r; and at times, toward morning, she dozed off into an uneasy sleep, from pure fatigue and excess of weariness. As she slept, Folix. tending over her, with the biggest blade of his knife open in case of an attack, watched with Erofound emotion the rise and fall of er losom, and hesitaterl with himself, if the worst should come to the the worst, as to what ho ought to do with her. it would be impossible to let a pure young English girl like that fall helplessly into tae hands of such bloodthirsty wretches as he knew the islanders were almost certain to be. Who could tell what nameless indignities, whaji incredible tortues they might wantonly inflict upon her innocent soul? Was it right for him to have let her come ashore at all? Ought he not rather to have allowed the more merciful soa to take her life easily, without the chance or possibility Of suoh additional horrors? And now as she slept so calm, and pure, and maidcnlv what was his duty that minute, just there to her? Ho felt the blade of his knife with his fin jer oautiously, and almost doubted. If -nly she could tell what things might be In store for hop, would aim 'not hrWit srtftr death, n honorablo death, ti m Wowtyr UrniUe of tandar-

hearted fellow-countryman, to the unspeakable insults of the man-outing Polynesians? It only he hud the courago to roleaso hor by one blow, as she lay there, from tho coming ill! But ho hadn't: ho had't. F.ven on board the Australasian ho had been vaguely aware that ho was (retting very fond of that pretty littlo Miss Ellis. And now that ho sat thero, after that dosporate struggle for life with the pounding waves mounting guard over hor through tho live-long night, his own heart told him plainly, in tones ho could not disobey, he loved her too well to dare what he thought best in the end for hor. Still, even so, he was bravo onough to foel he must never let tho very worst of all befall hor. He bethought him, in his doubt and agony, of how his uncle, .Major Thurstan, during tho great Indian mutiny, had hold his lonely bungalow, with his wifo and daughter by his side, for three long hours against a howling mob of native insurgents; and how, when further resistance was hopeloss, and that great black wave of angry, humanity burst in upon them at last, the bravo soldier had drawn his revolver, shot his wifo and daughter with unerring aim, to prevent their falling alive into tho hands of tho natives, and then blown his own brains out with his last remaining cartridge. As his uncle had done at Jhansi, thirty years boforo, so he himsolf would do on that nameless Pacific island for he didn't know even now on what shore he had landed. If the savages bore down upon them with hostile intent, and threatened Muriol, he would plunge his knifo first into that innocent woman's hoart; and then bury it deep in his own, and die beside her. So the long night wore on Muriol pillowed on loose coeoanut husk, dozing now and again, and waking with a start to gaze round her wildly, and realize once more in what plight; she found herself. Felix crouching by her feet, and keeping watch with eagor eyes and ears on every side for tho least sign of a noiseless, naked footfall through the tangled growth of that dense tropical underbrush. Time after time he clappod his hand to his ear, shell-wise, and listened and peored, with knitted brow, suspecting somo sudden swoop from an ambush in tho jungle of creepers behind the little plantain patch. Time after timo he grasped his knifo hard, and puckered his eyebrows resolutely, and stood with bated breath for a fierce, wild leap upon his fancied assailant. But the night wore away by decrees, a minute at a time, and no man t amo; and dawn began to brighten tho sealine to eastward. As tho day dawned, Felix could seo more clearly exactly whero he was, and in what surroun ings. Without, the ocean broke in huge curling billows on tho shallow boach of tho fringing reef with such stupendous force that Felix wondered how they could over have lived through its pounding surf and its fiercely retreating undertow. Within, tho lagoon spread its calm lake-like surface away to the white coral shore of the central atoll. Between those two waters, tho greater and the less, a waving palisade of tallstemmed palm trees rose on a narrow ribbon of circular land that formed the fringing reef. AU night through ho had felt, with a strange eerie misgiving, the very foundations of the land thrill under his feet at every dull thud of the boom of the surf on its restraining barrior. Now that ho could see that thin belt of ehore in its actual shape and size, ho was not astonished at this constant shock; what surprised him rather was tho fact that such a speck of land could hold its own at all against the ceaseless cannonade of that seeminglv irresistable ocean. He stood up, hatless, in his battered tweed suit, and surveyed tho scene of their present and future advonturos. It took but a glance to show him that tho whole giound plan of the island was entirely circular. In the midst of all rose tho central atoll itself, a tiny mountain-peak, just projecting with its hills and gorges to a few hundred feet above tho surface of tho ocean. Outside it came tho lasoon, with its

placid ring of glassy water surrounding tho circular island, and separated from tho sea by an equally circuit belt of fringing reef, covered thick with waving stomps of picturesque coeoanut. It was on the reef they had landed, and from it they now looked across tho calm lagoon'with doubtful eyes toward the central island. As soon as the sun rose their doubts were quickly resolved into fears or certainties. Scarcely had its rim bogun to show itself distinctly above tho Eastern horizon, when a ffreat bustle and confusion was noticeable at onco on tho opposite shore. Brown-skinned savages wero collecting in eagor groups by a white patch of beach, and putting out rude but well-manned eanoes into tho calm waters of tho lagoon. At sight of their naked arms and bustling gesture. Muriel's hoart sank suddenly with her. "Oh, Mr. Thurstan," sho cried, clinging to his arm in her terror, "what does it all mean? Are they going to hurt us? Are these savages coming over? Are thoy coming to kill us?" Felix grasped his trusty knifo hard in his right hand, and swallowed a groan, as he looked tenderly down upon her. "Muriel," he said, forgetting in tho excitement of tho moment the little conventionalities and courtesies of civilized hfo, "if they are, trust me, you never shall fall alivo into thoir cruel hands. Sooner than that" he held up the knifo significantly, with its open blade beforo her. The poor girl clung to him harder still, with a ghastly shudder. "Oh, it's terrible, terrible," she cried, turning deadly pale. Then, after a short Eause, she added, "But I would rather ave it so. Do as you say. I could j bear it from you. Promise rao that, rather than that those creatures should kill mo." "I promise," Felix answored, clasping her hand hard, and paused, with the knifo over ready in his right, awaiting tho approach of the halfnaked savages. Tho boats glided fast across tho lagoon, propolled by the paddles ot tho stalwart Polynesians who manned them, and crowded to tho water's edge with groups of grinning and shouting warriors. They wero dressed in aprons of dracaena leaves only, with necklets and armlets of sharks' teeth and cowrie shells. A dozen canoes at least were making toward the reef at full speed, all bristling with spears and alivo with noisy and boisterous savages. Muriel shrank back terror-stricken at the sight, as thoy drew noarer. But Felix, holding his breath hard, grew somewhat nervous as the men approached tho reef. Ho had seen onough of Polynesian life bo foro now to fool sure these peoploworo not upon -tho war-path. Whatever their ultimate intentions toward tho castaways might bo, their immediate object scorned friendly and good humorod. Tho boats, though largo, wero not regular war canoes; tho men, instead of brandishing their spears, and lunging out with thorn over tho edge i: threatening attitudes, held them oroct in their hands, at rest, liko standards; they were laughing and talking, not crying their wfti-ci'y, Aa they drow iwur tho shoro. one blif ennon ?liot Hiiutlenly a length ur so uhouil of tho i-oft: unit its leidert utauaing on tlio if-'Oteinuo

carved figure that adorned its prow, hold up both his hands open and empty beforo him, in sign of peace, while attho same time he shouted out a word or two three t imes in his own language, to reassure the cascways. Felix's eye glanco 1 cautiously from boat to llout. "Jlo says, Vo are friends,' " the young man remarked in an undertone ' to his terrified companion. "1 can under.-tand his dialect. Thank Heaven, it's very c.l.ss to Fijian. 1 shall be able at least to palaver to these men. 1 don't think they mean just now to harm us. I believe we can trust them, at any rate for t he present. " Tho poor girl drew back, i l still greater awe and alarm than ever. "Oh, aro they going to land here?" she cried, still clinging closer with both hands to hor ono friend and protector. Try not to look so frightened! ' Felix exclaimed, with a warning glanco. "Remember, much depends upon it; savagos judge you greatly by what demeanor you happen to assume. II you'ro frightened, they know their power: if they see you're resolute, they suspect you havo some supernatural means of protection. Try to meet them frankly, as if you were not afraid of them." Then, advancing slowly to the water's edge, he called out aloud, in a strong, clear voice, a few tvords which Muriel didn't, understand, but which were really tho Fijian for "We also aro friendly. Our medic: no is good. Wo mean no magic. Wo como to you from across the great watc:: Wo des'ro your onaco. Uceeive u and protect us!" At tho sound 0. words which ho could roadily understand, and which differed but Utile, indeed, from his own language, tho leader on the: foremost canoo, who seemed by his manner to be a ffreat chief, turned re mil to

his followers and cried nut in tones of superstitious awe, "Tu-Kila-Kila spoke well. These are, indeed, what he told us. Koran?! Korong! They aro spirits who have come to us from the disk of tho sun, to bring us light ami pure, fresh lire. Stay back t here, all of you. You aro not holy enough to approach. I and my crew, who are sam tiiied by tho mysteries, we alone will go forward to meet them." TO DRCONTINl'En. A I'lea of Self-Defence. When Judge Underwood of Georgia, had charged the jury, it wis exceedingly dangerous for the defendant's counsel to ask for an additional charge. William Glenn h:id been defending a big, strapping town-boy, who w.:s charged with an assault and battery upon a smaller boy. The big boy had been imposing upon the 1 ttle fellows, and one of them hit him with a switch and ran. The big boy pursued him, threw a stone :it h'm, cut a big gash in his head, and laid him up for a week or two. The grand jury found a true bill, and, af ter the closing speech by the Bolicitor, the Judge chaiged the jury very fairly, and then : sked if there w s any other charge th:it counsel desired. Glenn, rose, and with some tone of apprehension, :-aid: "I believe your Honor omitted to charge th itself-defence may j ustlty amssault" "Yes," said the Judge, as he straightened tip "yes, gentlemen, there is such a law, and if yvi believe from the evidence that this great, big, double-jointed, blg'-flsted young gentleman was actuated by fear and self-defense when he ran after that poor, liutle punny, tallowedfaced boy, and, because he couldn't overtake him, picked up a rock big enough to knock down a steer and threw it at him and knocked him senseless, then you can find for the defendant Any other charges, Brother Glenn?" "1 believe not," said Glenn. A Cluster or Bats. Not long ago a bat was discovered in a co'y corner of a barn witt: four little ones firmly attached to iicr wings: in this condition mada n bat sailed through the hay loft with her live pendants swaying, heads downward in the air. .She was captured and deposited in a basket, where, in a semi-dormant condition she was contented to pass the day, and made no objection to a frequent exhibition of herself and progeny. All saveone remained firmly attached to the maternal wing. Goldsmith was evidently familiar with their habits when he wrow the words: "Silent bats in drowsy clusters cltr.g." The detached member clung as effectually for a time to a bit of paper. The c .ver of the basket was left ajar and, true to her inst inct ive habits, madam bat waked up at nightfall and was, to all appearances, trying to bang her brains out against the ceiling: but in reality she was only catching flies with unerrin? precision, as a little watching plainly sh wed. A gas jet was turned on in the room and the bat soon di npi ed to the lloor Sho had no youngsters with her on this trip; she was a careful mother and had hung them all up by their heels, in a row on ono side of the basket for safe-keeping. American Agriculturist Warming Jtooins. In warming a room by low pressure steam one square foot of plate or pipe surface will heat from f rty tu 100 cubic feet of the en loscd space Tho range from id to 100 feet is to meet the different exposures of room. A room in the corner of a block i, necessarially colder than one intermediate, and rooms at the top of tho house have sometimes an advantage. The medium is about seventy-live feet, and the rule will apply when the temperature in the open :ur s 10 de.rces below ;cro. This will illustrate the ditliculty sometimes in sulllclently warming the apartment houses, the landlords being too economical in giving sufficient radiating surface to the pipes. A Good florae.

Memorial Service. An exchange tells the following story uf the pie-shop in London before which Charles Dickens used to stand when, as a child, he drudged In a blacking factory, Every day, on tho way to and from his work, he paused to devour the viands with his eyes, and sometimes he pressed his tongue to the window-pane. as if by so doing he cot a taste of the good things which were so near and yet so far." An American railroad man who admires Dickens hunted up this nleshop when in London in order to gratify his curios ty and his sentiment It proved to be a mere box of a place in a poor quarter of the cily, but tho original business was still carried on i heie. As the traveller peered into the shadowy interior, a voice was heard at his elbow: "1'leaso, sir, will you buy me a weal pic?" The owner of the voice was a small, dishevelled crson, with who n a l ie of veal, or anything else of a "beany" nature, would have agreed right well. "How many boys do you think this shop will hold?" asked t he American. 'Idunno. About fifteen or sixteen, 1 should think." "Well, go and get fifteen boys, and bring I hem back here." The boy siudied tho man's face for a moment-, as if to make sure that he was iu the enjoyment of his tenses, and l hen wivh a yell harried into as do street. Hardly a minute elapsed before he returned at the head of a procession of sixteen gamins, of assorted sizes, unanimous in appetite and hope. This ragged battalion assembled close behind ita benefactor and followed him into the shop, whero he announced iha he was going to give all the bovs all t'a - pie they wanted. They wanted a grea' deal, as it proved: their capacity for "weal pie" was something marvellous. Hut their benefactor was as good as his word, and sixteen happy and satisfied boys left the shop singing his praises.

Saved by Pure N'ervo. Some time ago I was camping with a parly ou the shore of Lake Erie, not far from Ashtabula, Shortly after we had retired one morning, I heard a pe.uliar whirring sound, which I recognized at once. 'There is a rattlesnake in camp!" 1 exclaimed. "I am going to get up," "Hush." came the word, slowly hissed through the teeth from a companion near me. "The snake has crawled into my shirt bosom." This was said very softly, and we were almost paralyzed with fright at the prospect We were afraid to stir for fear the reptile would take alarm and strike its victim. It crawled over his body good-naturedly, evidently enjoying the warmth, for the night was a little raw. At t ines the snake's head was close to his face, and he told us afterward ho feared the motion of his chest up ana down in breathing would stir up the reptile, and he tried hard to breathe as little as possible. .Finally the snake crawled toward the fire, and in an instant the whole camp was up. One seized a club and broke the reptile's back before it could make a spring. It measured nearly five feet. The man who bad the terrible experience collapsed like a rag alter it was over, buring the ordeal we were all surprised at the coolness and nerve he displayed. With all danger passed he fell into a faint, but soon revived. A NO-TO-BAC MIEACLE PHYSICAL PERFECTION PREVENTED BY THE USE OF TOBACCO. An Old-Timer of Twenty-three Yeara' Tobnceo Chewing and Smoking Cured, and Gainst Twenty Pound! In Tltlrly Days. Lakk Geneva, Wis., May 5. Special. Tho ladies of our beautiful little town aro making an interesting and o: Mtin.j time for tobacco-using husbands, since the in urious effects of tobacco and the ca-e with which it can be cured by a preparation called No-To-Lac havo been so plainly demonstrated by tho cure of Mr. F. C. Waite. In a written statement he says: "I smoked and chewed tobacco for twenthive years, and I am Bure that my case was ono of the worst in this part of the country. Even after I wont to bed at niuht, if I woke up 1 would want to chow or smoke. It won not only killing mo but my wife was also ailing from the injurious effects. Two boxes of No-To-Bac cured me. and 1 havo no more dosiro for t ,-bacco than 1 havo to jump out of tho window. I havo gained twenty pounds in thirty days, my wife is well, and we aro indeed both happy to say that No-To-Bac is truly ' worth its weight in gold ' to us. " Tho cure and improvement in Mr. Waite's cae is looked upon a3 a miracle in fact, it is the talk of the town and county, and it is estimated that over a thousand tobacca users will be using No-To-Bac within a fow weeks. The peculiarity about No-To-Bac as a patent medicine is that the mitkers, tho Sterling Hemody Company. No. ACi Randolph street, Chicago, absolutely guarantee the use of three boj.es to cure or refund the money, and the cost, $2.50, is so trilling as compared with the expensive and unnecessary uso of toba.co that tobacco-using husbands havo no good excur-e to offer when their wives insist upon thoir takins No-To-Ilao an-l gettinsr result in tho way of pure, sweet br;ath, wonderful improvement in their mental and physical condition, with a practical revltalization of thoir nicotized nerves Hogus Harbor Shop Hay Itnua.
