It runs on a sliding acalc, but, unlike the gamut, it slides only one way. This is bad for the lower "C" on the rtcaniboat, but ho has to .stared it. A good illustration of how the thing works was given not longf ago in a boat on the Delaware. The captain of a steamboat was trying to make a landing at the dock, but the operation was attend- ed with some difficulty. A line /roni the bow had been run out and made fast to a post, but the vies- sel's stem was swinging oft into the â- stream. The skipper, with a scowl on his brow, stood on. the bridge, abaft the wheelhouse, and stared at the first mate, who was hustling around on the hurricane-roof auiid- stfiips. Down below on the quarter- deck the secon<d mate was helping the third mate and a deck-hand to take the turns out of the stern line, which was snarled up on deck in- stead of being fast on the dook. "Mr. Olscn," said the captain, in a gentlemanly tone of voice, to the first mate, "why in thunder don't you get that line out, you long, lean, lank, knock-kneed, tar-stainetl wreck of returning reason? Don't you see we're swinging off? " "Aye. aye, sir," Mr. Olsen replied, respectfully, touching his cap to the skipper. Then Mr. Olsen leaned far over the rail, and, raising his voice, he called the second mate's attention to a matter of very great importance. "Mr. Peterson!" he yelled, "what's eating j-ou, you tow-headed, block- eyed blubber? Do you want to choke the stream? Get a move on you. and be quick about it!" "Aye, aye, sir," was Mr. Peter- son's response to the delicate atten- tion received from his superior. He then gave the third mate some in- stiTictions. "Swanson," be gently but firmly renvarkcd, "I'll cruck your blooming skull if you don't move yourself, you gaunt-eyed, bow-legged, stock- fish feeder. Bear a hand there. Lively now, "and get that line out." I "Ayo. aye. sir," said Swanson, in a humble voice. Then Swanson gave the deck-hand, who gets £3 a month, a clout on the side of the head that knocked him spinning. Then he shouted: "Why in the name of the other place don't you pay out that stern line, you low-lived, white-livered, mule- pared, hog-backed, slab-sided, bench- legged, feeble-minded chiukcn robber? What are we paying you for?" And he finished the unfortluiato man with a kick in the ribs. The deek-haiTd ran the line out and made the boat fa.s-t. Th.en he went down in the hold, where he anointed his person and clubbed himself with •. handspike. A little Sunlight Soap will clean cut glass and dlier articles until they shine and sparkle.

There is only one, way to cun.- <leafnes3. an<l that i!i by constitutional remodics. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube.

Deafness is the result, and un- less the indanimation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed ior- cvcr.

A MAN OF HIS WORD. "Now, look here, Thompson," re- mai'kqd youg IJrown, "it isisi.x weeks since you bori'owed that fifty- cent piece from me.

I'romiso.i faithfully, you did, to return iiic it in teven days, instead of weeks." "I know it." answered Thompson, sadly, drawing a memorarwl'um book from his jiocket. "The date of that fifty-cent piece was 1886. I made the note, and then I sipent the money. Since then I've been trying to recover it." "But," howled Brown, "any other would do as well." "No." responded Thoirpson, sJiak- ing his head; "I always keep my woi-d. When you gave me the money, I said, 'I will return this to you,' and I meant it.
