WILLING TO HELP. An Old Seainuu'. Scheme to Wla Honor For a Favorite. An amusing story is told of an old seaman on one of the United States cruisers in the north Atlantic squad ron. He was not a person of wide affections, but he had a. warm place in his heart for a young ensign who had been kind to him in many little ways. One day a landsman fell from the rigging to the water, and as he could not swim he would have been drowned but for a young officer who sprang In after him and held him up till assistance came. Later the young officer received a complimentary letter from the secretary of the navy. Every one rejoiced but the old seaman; he coveted the letter for his ensign. “That's a nice thing to have, a letter like that,” he said a few days later. "You ought to have one.” "I don’t quite see how I can get one,” laughed the ensign. “Well, see here,” said the old man eagerly. “Tomorrow night I'll be In the main chains, fussing with something or other, and I might fall in, and you could jump after me.” “That would be very good of you,” said the ensign gravely, “but, you see. I'm not a good swimmer by any means.” “Ho, that's no matter!” said the old seaman. “I'll hold you up till the boat comes.” CRACKED VOICES. A Lack of Mnacular Control Is What Causes the Break. The pitch of the human voice depends primarily upon the number of vibrations per second of the vocal cords, and these, In their turn, depend on the length, size and degree of tension of the cords, which Increase in length with the growth of the larynx. One of the deepest bass notes, from the greater length of the cords, has only eighty double vibrations a second, while a soprano voice can give 992 such vibrations in the same time. The size of a lad’s larynx Is, roughly, that of a woman s, but when the piping schoolboy is shooting up into manhood his larynx grows rapidly and the vocal cords become elongated nearly in the proportion of three and a half to two. The cartilages by which their tension is regulated also share In this growth, as is seen by the swelling of the so called “Adam’s apple.” Now, all these parts do not increase with equal rapidity; hence the muscular control, which must be very exact, Is rendered uncertain and the voice is said to “break.” A similar change takes place in the case of women, but very much less in amount, and a further compensation in the formation of the upper part of the larynx serves to disguise the effect. COLUMBUS’ CREWS. One En,ll.hnian anti One Irl.bmaa Were Among Their Number. An Englishman and an Irishman were among the sturdy 120 adventurers who sailed with Columbus in the three small hundred tonners. This may have been due to the well known fact that nothing brings men of different races together more than maritime and commercial enterprise, or, still more probably, because they were swept In at Palos, when Columbus put the press gang to work, as he was authorized to do by Ferdinand and Isabella. The names of these men, as given by Navarret?, were Jallarte de Lajes, Ingles (probably Arthur Lake, English), and Guillermo Ires, nature! de Gainey, en Irlanda (probably William Herries or Riue, native of Galway, in Ireland). These two men were among the forty whom Columbus left behind in the fort constructed In Hispaniola before he sailed for Europe, who all met their death at the hands of the natives before the great discoverer returned, owing to their disregard of his express directions. The C'ocoannt Tree. There is no tree so widely distributed throughout the tropics as the cocoanut. Even on remote atolls of the south seas, which geologists say were only recently formed by the subsidence of a volcano and the growth of coral up from Its base, one finds the cocoanut. The parent tree leaning over the beach of one tropical island drops its fruit into the sea, to have the nut carried away perchance halfway round the world. Then in some faraway place the waves cast the cocoanut ashore to sprout and propagate another forest after its own kind. The Apple. The apple is not considered to be a complete food in itself, but on the food list it has a value far above the nutriment it possesses. Apples aid the stomach in the digestion of other foods, and therefore the best results are obtained from eating them after rather than before tneals. After partaking of an unusually heavy dinner the eating of an apple will be found to facilitate an early digestion and afford great relief from the sufferings attendant upon Indigestion. Too Much Rrnllsm. “Do you not feel at times.” remarked the fireside critic, “that realism can be carried too far on the stage?” “Yes,” replied the tragic actor, with n sigh. “The last man I was working for did It. He wanted to pay us all off in stage money.”—Cincinnati TlmesBtar. fomlng and Goin*. “Hello. Mike! Do you find much to do now?” “Yls. I'm jest after cnttln’ down a tree, and tomorrow I'll have to cut I* up.”—Kansas City World.
