A LETTER THAT CAME

CAST A GLOOM OVER

A NAVY

OFFICER'S WHOLE LIFE.

At the Time He Wa* Aboard a Man-o'-"War—Tlic "Pilot tetter** That Did

the

Ti "Miwhicf—It Wsm a Well Written letter, hot Tfi 31 I scurried.

The officer of the mess were Bitting around fhe wurdroota table. It tvas just after diuii'.T. Tiiey were telling stories of ehip wreck and disaster. Each one, it appeared, liad had a more terrifying experience than tha one who spoke iimnediately before him.

All

had spun their

yarns bat one. He smoked reflectively in silence for a few minntes. Then he said: "Well, gentlemen, you have all had many unpleasant, sorfie frightful, experiences. The story I am about to relate to you, however, will prove, as you will all admit when yon hear it, far more terrible than any yet told. The events happened a number of years ago, but they have cast a gloom over my whole life."

The officer stopped and pulled upon his cigar in silence for a while. The others settled into attitudes of attention. The officer went on: "Some here are young in the service, and will not remember when it was the invariable custom for a man-o'-war to take a pilot aboard upon leaving port. At this time I was on the Pacific station. Our homo port was San Francisco, so I hired a house there and settled my wife in it. At that period the 'pilot letter' was an institution among the officers of the ship. After we weighed anchor and began steaming down the bay all hands would hurry to their rooms and write farewell letters to their wives, sweethearts and mothers.

THK LETTER.

"These letters were taken ashore by the pilot when ho left us outside. One day we were ordered to the South Pacific for a long cruise. I bid farewell to my weeping wife, who was sure she would never sec nu- again, and promised her most faithfully 1 would send her a long pilot letter. That was at night, and we expected to weigh anchor the next morning. I spent the night aboard, and got up early. I had some time on my hands. That letter was a burden on my mind, so I concluded to write it then and get it out of the way. I did so. I wrote at length, for my heart was full. To be sure, wo did not expect to weigh anchor for several hours, but as 1 wanted to be realistic, 1 described how we did it, and then proceeded to describe our passage out through the Golden Gate. 1 had crone out many times beforo, and knew the whole scene perfectly. I depicted it in graphic colors. "I told of the beauties of the city, growing smaller and smaller and finally disappearing of the harbor fortifications as they loomed up by turns and by turns faded away of the glorious effect of the lato afternoon sun upon tho receding California!! shores of my feelings as I reflected that I might never nee those lessening shores or my dear wife again. It was an affecting letter, and (you will

pardon

thte vanity)

a well written one. It bore upon it the stamp of sincerity. Finally I told her that the pilot was now about to leave us alone upon tho bottomless deep, and that I must close. I, ended with something incoherent, and signed my name hurriedly. Then 1 directed and stamped it and dropped it into tho ship's lettej box for the pilot to take ashore when he left us in lit- evening.

HOW THK I.ETTKU MISCARRIED.

"Well, the pilot carno aboard about 9 o'clock, and we began to weigh anchor. Of course everything was confusion there. About 11 o'clock it was suddenly discovered that thero was trouble with the steering gear which h»d been overlooked. I was detailed to direct the repairing. About noon I reported to the captain that the difficulty of getting at tho trouble was such that wo would not Imj able to start beforo night. It appeared afterward that the captain immediately sent the pilot off, deciding not to start beforo morning. About sundown I reported everything as ship shape, and that wo were ready for an early start. The captain was pleased, and readily granted the request made ly half a dozen of us to go ashore overnight. We were rowed ashore, a jolly crowd, and as I hurried home I pictured to, myself my wife's glad surprise. "But I cannot describe to you the extent of my wife's surprise when she saw me. It surprised me, and her curious beariug for the next two hours, sometimes merry—almost to the point of hysteria, and then apparently depressed and even sad—puzzled me very much. After supper she settled down in a calm mood, which, however, seemed only a covering for suppressed feelings of some sort. I stretched myself at ease on the loungo, and she seated herself beside me. Presently, without warning, she began to read to me aloud. At the end of the first sentence I bounced tip as if I had been slapinnl in the face. "At the end of the second sentence I reached out for the paper she was reading. But she made a gesture of commaiul. and actually compelled me to sit still and listen to every word of that wretched pilot letter which I had written her lHat morning. Yes, notwithstanding our decision to rvinain at anchor overnight, that wretched pilot had actually brought my letter ashore at noon and mailed it I have wished many times since that I had choked him the next morning."—New York Sun.

About Opening Safes.

As a matter of fact you can't open a siife lock by listening to the click of the tumbler. They do not click. They are immovable in their places and do not drop. Consequently, when I read of an inexperienced plumber boy who opens combinations at will it fatigues me. Now I have the reputation of being able to open almost any safe, but if the safe is locked I can't do it. I can go to the safe, as it stands unlocked, and can gently turn the combination until the resistance warns me that I havo reacted a tumbler. I note the number and proceed in like manner with all tho tumblers. Then the owner can lock his safe, and I being in possession of this combination can unlock it without difficulty.

Had I been placed before the eame 3afe while locked, I might turn until dooxpsday without success. Now the various makers invariably send out their safes set on certain numbers. I, knowing these numbers, can unlock any one of them before the owner has adopted his own peculiar combination. My safes go out each with a separate number, of which I keep a careful record, so that I can open them in case I am called upon to do so. I have a safe now which is locked, and the combination lost.

I am just as unable to open that safe as yon, although I know every detail in the lock's construction. There it stands until I see fit to drill it open. A safe with two tumblers is susceptible of 10,000 changes with three tumblers, 1,000,000 changes with four, 100,000,000, and so on in regular permutation. But give- me as a clew one number of the combination employing two tumblers, and I will have to make but 100 combinations from 1 to 100 in order to open the safe in from two to five minutes' time. The only absolutely burglar proof safe is the one employing a screw door with a time lock attachment on the inside.—Interview in St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.

Facts and Fancies.

When we attempt to show how far matter can be divided the brain refuses to grasp the infinity. A pin's head is a small object, but it is gigantic compared to some animals of which millioitS would occupy a space no larger than the head of a pin. These tiny animals must contain organs and veins, etc., and those veins are full of blood globules. Professor Tyndall informs us that a drop of blood contains 3,000,000 red globules. So these infinitesimally small animals must have millions of globules in their blood also. Thus we see to what an extent, far beyond our senses' power to grasp, matter can be divided.

But there is something even more astonishing than this. It is stated that there are more animals in the milt of a single codfish than there are men in the world, and that one grain of sand is larger than 4,000,000 of these animals, each of which must be possessed of life germs of an equal amount, which would grow up as it grew to maturity. This carries us back again, and

Imagination's utmost stretch In wonder dies away.

Or take other interesting facts: One hundred threads of the silkworm must be placed side by side to make up the thickness of a line about one twenty-fifth of an inch, and metals can be drawn out to such exceeding fineness that 1,200 of the fine wires will occupy only the space of 100 silk worms' threads.—Montreal Star. v'.

A Chlminmn In an Art Gallery.

You can tell tho new Chinaman in New York by his headgear. He wears a little black skull cap of silk, whereas his fellow Chinaman of long residence in the country invariably wears a low crowned, black felt hat, with a medium brim, which is manufactured somewhere in Connecticut especially for the Chinese American trade and sold at a dollar apiece. It is curious to notice the bewildered air of the newly arrived Chinaman as he goes about the city under the escort of two or three of his countrymen. I saw a group of four Chinamen in an art gallery the other day, and immediately discerned that one was a newcomer. Tho other three were showing him the sights.

The pictures in the gallery were all imported, and I noticed that the new Chinaman was constantly looking at the figures in the pictures and then looking around at the people in the gallery, seemingly trying to compare the details of garments. Of course they were totally different, and his companions went through a vast amount of talk to explain to him that we do not make many pictures in this country compared with what we buy abroad. One of them with whom I struck up a conversation said to me, "Him not belly well nndelstand why Melican man no makee himself on painting." It was something of a poser. —New York Press.

lfours for Eating in England. In England, down to the days of "Good Queen Bess," it was the custom to hospitably entertain all strangers Mid visitors at any hour of the day with free fare—bread, "beef and beer. This was observed at every table in the land, from that of the freeholder to the baron's and abbey's. At a later day the upper classes became more luxurious in their tastes Mid habits. As a consequence the hours for meals were very much modified and have remained so until this day.

Breakfast is now usually taken between 9 and 10 a. m., and the present usage for dinner among the wealthier classes is from 0 to 8 p. m. A luncheon —a rather substantial meal, by the way, consisting of cold game, roast beef and the like—is often indulged in between breakfast and dinner. The meal denominated supper in this country is a comparatively unknown quantity in England, that known as tea forming in reality a part of dinner.—Louis T, Peale in Detroit Free Press.

DEATH COMES PAINLESSLY.

A Scientific Opinion That Will Be Consoling to All Humanity.

The signs of impending death are many and variable. No two instances are precisely identical, yet several signs are common to many cases. Shakespeare, who observed everything else, observed and recorded some of the premonitory signs of death also. In the account of the death of Falstaff the sharpness of the nose, the coldness o^he feet, gradually extending upward, the picking at the bedclothes, are accurately described.

For some time before death indications of its approach become apparent. Speech grows thick and labored, the hands, if raised, fall instantly, the respiration is difficult, the heart loses its power to propel the blood to the extremities, which consequently become cold a clammy moisture oozes through the pores of the skin, the voice grows weak and husky or piping, the eyes begin to lose their luster.

In death at old age there is a gradual dulling of all the bodily senses and of many of the mental faculties memory fails, judgment wavers, imagination goes out like a candle. The muscles and tendons get stiff, the voice breaks, the cords of the tabernacle are loosening. Small noises irritate, sight becomes dim, nutrition goes on feebly, digestion is impaired, the secretions are insufficient or vitiated or cease, capillary circulation is clogged. Finally the central organ of the circulation comes to a stop, a full stop, and this stoppage -means a dissolution. This is the death of old age, which few attain to.

Many people hav^e an idea that death is necessarily painful, even agonizing but there is no reason whatever to suppose that death is more painful than birth. It is because in a certain proportion of cases dissolution is accompanied by a visible spasm and distortion of the countenance that the idea exists, but it is nearly as certain as anything can be that these distortions of the facial muscles are not only painless, but take place unconsciously, In many instances, too, a comatose or semi-comatose state supervenes, and it is altogether probable that more or less complete unconsciousness then prevails.

We have, too, abundant evidence of people who have been nearly drowned and resuscitated, and they all agree in the statement that after a few moments of painful struggling, fear and anxiety pass away, and a state of tranquillity succeeds. They see the visions of green fields, and in, some cases hear pleasing music, and, so far from being miserable, their sensations are delightful. But where attempts at resuscitation are successful the resuscitated persons almost invariably protest against being brought back to life, and declare that resuscitation is accompanied by physical pain and acute mental misery.

Death is a fact which every man must personally experience, and consequently is of universal interest and as facts are facts, the wiser course is to h,6k them squarely in the face, for necessity is coal black and death keeps no .calendar.— Medical Journal.

She Caught tho Car.

She was a very masculine looking young woman, and if she had not worn a Psyche knot and skirts she might have passed for a slim waisted youth, for she wore a man's collar, a man's coat, a man's four-in-hand tie, and displayed on her bust a longitudinal section of a man's plaited shirt. She was waiting for a car in the storm the other evening. She had not an umbrella, and was in the shelter of a doorway. A car dashed by, and she whistled for it to stop. The driver paid no attention to her signal, and she gathered up her skirts, made a dash out into the street, ran sharply for a moment, caught up with the rapidly running car, caught the hand rail, and swing on as nimbly as a college athlete. "What do you mean,sir," she exclaimed to the conductor, "by not stopping when I signaled?" The conductor tried to explain, but she would not listen, and sat down and looked indignant for ten minutes. It takes a mannish looking young woman to chase a car through the rain and get aboard without stopping the car.—Boston Advertiser.

Ananias and His Deaf Father.

Dan'l was the biggest liar in town and Dan'l always appealed to his father to verify his fearful yarns. Dan'l's father was old, a little deaf, and belonged to the Methodist church. It was not to be supposed that the old gentleman would indorse lies, and thus the neighbors concluded. But here is how Dan'l got around his poor old dad. "Went down ter .t' brook yesterday," Dan'l would relate. "Caught tew hundred and four pick'ril, say, didn't I, dad?' And the old man, benignantlv listening, would hear "four" and meekly reply, "Yes, Dan'l."

Then the able liar would edge around "back to" his father, and with the edge of his hand measure off the length of his arm before the eyes of his astonished guest. "Caught one pick'ril, a whopper, longe'n that, say, warn't he, dad?" The old man would gaze upon the six inches of scrawny wrist and forearm as wily Dan'l whirled and measured for his benefit, and humbly but firmly assert, "Yis, my son sh'd say as how he was summat longer."—Lewiston Journal.

LITTLE THINGS.

Hints to Wives on the Way to Charm Their Husbands.

The Arabs have a saying that there is no such thing in life as a trifle, and the wise and observant become more impressed as each year slips by with the truth of the proverb, which we vary in saying that trifles make up the sum of life. A pleasant home is not the result so much of one or two happy circumstances, but of a thousand little conveniences, thoughtful acts and loving foresight, which go to make up daily comfort and happiness. Naturally as the mother is the home maker, it is on her that the others lean, and to her that they look for the sunshinp.

Many a mother whose heart is wrung by the waywardness of her children could find the answer to the dreary question, "I am sure I meant to be a good mother, and why is home so distasteful to them?" in this, "I was fretful from pain or weariness and I pettishly repulsed Jimmy when he would have confided this or that temptation to me when I might have strengthened him against it, or I drove my girl to seek improper associates from being too wrapped up in my .own little ailments to draw her young heart to me." Ob, sad, so sad, poor mothers, who honestly thought they did their duty toward their children, and indeed who did ih all save the little things—the sympathetic word of interest, the pause in the busy day to hear a timid confidence, all little things in truth, but great, great in the scheme of life.

How many a family quarrel a button missing from my lord's shirt has caused how many a man has found a dainty, well cooked dinner, with which his wife has really taken pains, all distasteful, because she did not remember that he did not like onions in the soup or oil in the salad 1 Unreasonable? Yes, and a little thing to put him out, but who, dear madam, finds the grain of sand in the eye less irritating because of its minuteness, and have not you yourself had all your pleasure in your new bonnet destroyed because the ostrich plumes and the ribbon were a little different in color? It was so little that no one but yourself probably ever noticed it, but nevertheless you always hated that bonnet and felt cross when you wore it.

Men are luxurious creatures, and the wife nearest her husband's heart is she who studies his comfort. Men may be charmed, tantalized by, infatuated with the beautiful, the witty, the coquettish for a time, but it is the woman who keeps his hose darned, who lays his paper on his plate, remembers the exact number of lumps of sugar, and the quantity of cream he likes in his coffee, who avoids the subject of Jones' success in the very undertaking he himself failed in, because she knows it is not pleasant—this is the woman who takes permanent possession of his heart, rules it through never letting him inspect she is aught but his humble handmaid, and when she dies is mourned and missed sincerely.—Cor. St. Louis Globe-

Tilings for a Pretty Bed.

Sheets are hemstitched, and if a monogram" is embroidered upon them it is a very small one, and is done in white cotton and placed just near the corner. A very bJautiful pair of curtains specially embroidered to be put on a Chippendale bedstead are of bolting cloth, and show upon the upp«r ones bunches of poppies here and there, while tho lower ones display purple, pink and pale blue morning glories, as if to call the sleeper to arise and go forth, for they were awake with the sun. Night dress cases are occasionally seen on the beds, but are much oftener put on the small square stool that stands just at the foot of the bed, and upon which one is supposed to sit when shoes and stockings are assumed.

The cases are no longer made of linen, but are very large scented sachets, either of brocade silk or bolting cloth suitably embroidered. They exhale the favorite perfume of the gentle lady, and in this way the robe in which she sleeps is made daintily odorous. Some mottoes for cases made of bolting cloth are these: "Sleep thy fill and take thy soft repose," "Sleep in peace and wake in joy," "Let me sleep and do not wake me^yet," "Night bids sleep."—Ladies'

Home Journal.

The Long and Short Stitch.

Ldftg and short stitch is only another name for the same variously known as long, Kensington feather stitch (not feather stitching), etc. It is the stitch used in shaded leaves and flowers, in which the stitches are made to dovetail in order that the hues may blend more intimately. Hence it is worked in varying lengths, some long and some short. It is a simple stitch taken in a slanting direction upward, with the needle brought out again where the next stitch is to begin. In working a leaf or flower petal the outer partis worked first in stitches whose outer ends form a close even outline at the edge, bat which form a broken line toward the center. the sti&hes being one long and the next short.

Next comes a row of stitches which fit in between the preceding ones, then the center is filled out with stitches radiating from the vein of the leaf or from the narrow part of the petal. When the petal is finished the rows of stitches should be so blended that they cannot be distinguished.

Appropriate Colors at Weddings.

When a girl marries a military or naval officcr nhe must be sure and ha the wedding to correspond with the colors of the bridegroom's arm of the service. A navy wedding must, of course, be all bine and gold. If a girl marries a cavalry officer, biue and yellow, the cavalry colors,"must prevail. If a bridegroom is in the artillery, blue and red is the proper caper, and if In the infantry, bloc and white. The English have a pretty custom at a naval or military wedding of having the bride's cake cut with the groom's sword.—Illustrated American.
