The other with Ik’ men drifted for 40 days. The sail ors ate barnacles, seaweed and finally their boots. "On the 2.Tth day two became insane and killed themselves. On the 20th a Frenchman killed the mate with an ax, drank his blood and tried to eat his brains but was prevented by the others. Next day the Frenchman was killed while attempting to murder the captain. The survivors, all of whom were now insane, ate the Frenchman's body. “Cannibalism continued until only Johnson and Martlcornu remained. On the 42d day the raft stranded ou Sulii or Flat island, In the Nntuua group (northwest of Borneo). Johnson and Martlcornu were awfully emaciated. Friendly Malays seunt them by junk to Singapore.” Schooner Totally Wrecked.

Beating in Avalanche. One of the most exciting Alpine adventures on record was Mr. Tuckett's race with an avalanehe on the Eiger glacier in IS7I. He was ascending the glacier with two friends and a guide. Nays Travel: The glacier sloped somewhat steeply, and on the upper part, above the climbers, n muss of loose, freshly fallen snow had collected. Suddenly the travelers heard a thundering noise and perceived a huge mass of snow and ice sliding down toward them. They could only try to reach the rocks at the side of the glacier, hoping to do so before the avalanche should sweep them away. Through the knee deep snow they ran for their l'ves. "1 remember,” said Mr. Tuckett, "being struck with the Idea that It seemed as If the avalanche were sure of its prey and wished to play with us for awhile. At one moment It let us imagine that we had gained on it, and the next, with mere wantonness of vindictive power, it suddenly rolled out a vast volume of grinding blocks and whirling snow, as if to show us that it could outflank us any moment It chose. "Nearer and nearer it came, its front a mighty wave about to break. It aimed straight al us, swift, deadly, Implacable. The next instant we saw no more. A wild confusion of whirling snow and fragments of lee, a frozen cloud, swept over us, entirely concealing us from one another. But still we were untouched, and still we ran. “Another half second, and the mist parted. There lay the body of the monster, whose head was still careering away at lightning speed far below us, motiouless. rigid, harmless.” Rnth«*r Ontapoken. “When a man in the west likes not another,” said a British Columbia man, “he is in no way disposed to hide that fact under a bushel basket or to conceal it from either the gentleman disliked in particular or the rest of the community in general. "I remember an example of this trait that came under my notice some years ago in Idaho. A certain old fellow named Haas ran a paper there, nud he and Judge Buck, the Judge who rendered the celebrated decision in the famous 'Poor Man’ Tiger litigation, were sworn enemies. Another old timer named Cheney disliked Haas and Buck and had it In for them both. “One night at Wallace a dinner was given, at which Buck. Haas and Cheney were present, and at a late stage in the proceedings Cheney was called upon for a speech. 1 don't remember the topic he chose or how he brought it in, but when he got through Cheney left in the minds of his hearers no manner of doubt as to bow be felt toward the other two. “ 'Gentlemen,’ said Cheney as he hung unsteadily to the end of the table, for the wine had been passing freely, ’old man Haas says Judge Buck is a perjurer and a blackmailer, and Judge Buck says old man Haas is a horse thief and a liar. As both the gentlemen are extremely well acquainted with each other and should know whereof they speak. 1 do not feel called upou to dispute either statement.’ “And then he sat down amid tumultuous applause.”—New York Tribune. Dolnjx the Glacier a Klntlneaa. A traveling tinker out of work bemoaned his hard luck to a sympathetic glazier. “I’ll soon put that right for you,” 6aid the glazier. "Just come up to lhat big botel over there in half an hour's time, and you’ll And work.” Accordingly the tinker made his appearance at the appointed time and found himself in great request, as all the good wife's pots and pans had mysteriously sprung leaks. Needless to say the glazier had slyly operated on them to provide a job for bis acquaintance. Having finished his work, the tinker trudged off, full of gratitude, and soon arrived at n wayside schoolhouse. A happy thought striking him, he determined to repay the glazier's kindness, and. arming himself with stones, ho speedily smashed every window in the house. Returning, he intimated to his friend the service he had rendered him, but Was amazed to see the man of glass become convulsed with rage. “Great Scott, man." shouted the latter, “you’ve ruined me! I repair the windows of that school by yearly contract!"—London Answers. Avoiding; Worry. Wife—Here eomes a friend of mine. Let’s turn Into this side street UDtil site passes.

Teeth l"ot In Manr I'se*. All Eskimos have good teeth, but they are subjected to severe usage, being used for pinchers, vises and fluting machines. The teeth are employed in drawing bolts, untying knots, holding the mouthpiece of n drill, shaping hoot soles, stretching and tanning skins. When they become uneven from hard usage they are leveled off with a tile or whetstone. Not n tenod l.liir. Mrs. Newbrlde— 1 didn’t see you at ray wedding.

NAPOLEON’S WISDOM. THE GREAT GENERAL UNDERSTOOD THE VALUE OF DISCUSSION. 14 Due* For the Ilrnln Wlmt Kuri'lie Doc. For tlic 31 ns.-les—The Mighty Corsican's Idee, ou Hellglun aad the First Great Cause. Man exercises his muscles to Improve them. He competes musculariy with his fellows, and rivalry of muscle ends In muscular improvement al! around. What exercise does for the muscles discussion does for the brain. The importance of discussion Napoleon appreciated thoroughly. And when he discussed, be discussed like a big man, selecting questions to exhaust the mind and lend far away into fields of conjecture and widest speculation. His was no dreamer’s brain, giving to speculation the time needed for doing. First came the real work of the day or hour—the planning and finishing of details, from the disposing of army corps to the smallest final arrangements. Then, free from actual work, seeking relief from concentrated application, his brain sought rest in talk worth while. On his voyage to Egypt, determined to waste no time, he organized serious discussion as methodically as he ever organized a fighting plan. The discussions were regularly appointed affairs. Needless to say, Napoleon arranged everything and controlled everything. He selected the subject for discussion, he chose the three or four on each side to support and oppose any given proposition. These were his favorite topics: First, the art of war; second, the art of government; third, religion. From his point of view his chief subjects for discussion were admirably chosen. They represented the only two things he cured for here below and the final question affecting his fate hereafter. Blit his field of thought, like the scope of his ambition, was unlimited. Once he asked his chosen debaters to decide whether the planets are inhabited. Again, lie discussed this earth's probable ending, by tire or wnter. lie discussed also the meaning of dreams and the value of "presentiments.” In practical life he discarded everything save realities, but in discussion all abstract questions interested Idm. It may interest you to know that in general lie denied positively the existence of hell—perhaps that was caution on his pari—and maintained that no man should die without confessing his sins: “Only a fool says that he will die without a confessor. There is so much we do not know and that tve cannot explain.” It is deeply characteristic of Napoleon’s thought that he should have declared for Mohammedanism in preference to Christianity. He admired the religion of Mohammed "because it conquered one-half the world In ten years, whereas It took 2(81 years for Christianity to establish itself.” The old French king became converted because be thought the Christian God beat his pagan god in battle. Napoleon had not traveled far beyond that old king. The man who seeks for all sorts of wisdom In Napoleon will be deeply disappointed when be comes to analyze the great fighter's religious thought. But for the hero worshiper there is comfort in this: Napoleon trifled with everything except the first great cause. On the deck of his ship on a fine night there was much Irreverent, flippant, materialistic chatter. The revolution had made stupid atheism fashionable. But Napoleon was Impressed by the calm night, the blue, dark water and the silent, beautiful stars shining down In cosmic rebuke of the tiny blasphemers below. He stopped very abruptly the prattle of atheism. Toward the stars he pointed the short, thick arm so soon to rule this little planet. “You may talk ns long its you please, gentlemen, but who made all that?” There was no answer, and there was no more atheism that night. The man who was to Guild up the code Napoleon could appreciate the force nud necessity of law. His mind realized the feebleness of man, coping even with little problems of earth. He felt that great laws and a Great Lawgiver must swing and direct those millions of sileut worlds above. When Napoleon was still a Corsican patriot, the great Paoll said to hltu: "Napoleon, you are not a modern. You talk like the heroes of Plutarch.” Earnestness of the old kind was Indeed Napoleon’s characteristic—as emperor. planning to rule Asia from the back of nu ornamented elephant, or as a poor, half starved lad. taking off his muddy shoes *o enter the presence of the matronly Mme. Pennon nnd listening to her stories of descent from the emperors of Constantinople. Napoleon in Ills hours of work was n doer, aud in his hours of leisure he was a diccusser. He exercised constantly the two side* of his brain, the practical and speculative. l)e the same nnd succeed.—New
