Did you ever hear of Baker Islatftl br Howland Island? It's a thousand ehances to one that you never did, but they have beeii United States possessions since 1857. They have never' assumed the slightest de­ gree of importance, and even noSv the officials of the War Department at Washington are not inclined to believe that they can be put to a practical use, except in the most dire necessity. Stilly that emergency might jrossibly arise, and these desolate spots upon a still more desolate sea may yet s^rve a purpose heretofore undreamed of. The exact location of Baker Island, to be accurate* is latitude 13 minutes 30 seconds north, longitude 170 degrees 0 minutes 30 seconds west. Howland Island lies two or three miles to the north. /' Neither lslandr is inhabited except by sea fowl and a multitude of half- starved, vicious rats. The latter do not hesitate to attack a human being. At certain times of the year the islands are visited by vessels, which load with gnano, which abounds in great quanti­ ties. What little vegetation there is is coarse and scanty. _Raker Island has no fresh water, but on Howland Island are several pools of brackish water, supposed to be par­ tially freshened by distillation from the sea. The anchorage is said to be very unsafe. The former island boasts a movable wharf. It is quite impossible for vessels to load between November and April. Howland Islandls two miles long and half a mile wide? Baker Island is one mile long and three-quarters of a,mile wide. Aside from the fact that they are out of the usufil sailing course, it would seem that the Islands would pos­ sess little value as a base of supplies. But still there is some satisfaction in knowing that they are there and that thej* belong to our government. The time may come when, insignificant as they now appear, we may be glad of their existence.--New York Herald. MBS. PINKHAM'S ADVICE.

"Yes," I re­ plied, looking at the building we were* approach-' i n g, " ,b u t a strange position away from the high, road, and surrounded by villas." VA very strange position. We will rest in the public house, and I will tell you how it came to be built in such a very strange position." I smiled, and followed him Into the saloon bar. We sat at one-of the .tables, and were silent for a time, he thinking and I watching him. "The story begins," he said present­ ly, "with a burglary committed by a certain Bill Jones ouo night long ago. "Bill was a young member of his pro­ fession. Hitherto he had not attempted anything very big, but continued suc­ cess in small things had made him bold. On this night he broke into the country house of a well-kn6wn actress, in the1 hope of carrying off her jewels. "He succeeded in getting the Jewels and was leaving with them when he found that the slight noise he had made had attracted attention. A ser­ vant girl met him at a turn of the stir- way and began to shriek. He rushed by her and to the window through which he had entered. As he passed through it again he heard .doors being opened, and knew that the house waa fully aroused." "I understand," I said. "Bill escaped. The actress employed: a detective. The detective built this public house in an out-of-the-way place, hoping that Bill, as an out-of-the-way young man, would call in one day for a drink. Curiously enough, BUI did." J ̂ Blanco Watson frowned. ' C,-f ; "This is an intellectual story," hi aald; "it does not depend on coincb dences. ,* • < "I will continue. Bill avoided the first pursuit by a long run across coun­ try, and then walked toward his home, not daring to use the railway. He kept to the by-roads as much as possible, and at the close of the next day had reached the neighborhood of London. "A spade lyiug inside a field gate suggested to him the advisability of hiding the Jewels until he had arranged for their sale. After making surp that he was not observed, he entered the field and picked up the spade. A tree of peculiar growth stood Just beyond him. In the manner of fiction, he count­ ed twenty steps due north from the tree, and then dug a deep hole, placed the Jewels In it, and filled it np again. "He arrived home safely that night, but was arrested In the morning. The servant girl had given an accurate de­ scription of him to the police, and they had recognized it. "In due bourse he was tried. The evidence against him Was very strong. The servant girl swore that he was the man she met on the stairs; some of the villagers swore that they had seen him -- • - v " v C O U i t ' ' 4 > i U i lary. He was found guilty and sen­ tenced to seven years' penal servitude. "Bill behaved very well In prison, and at tie end of five years was re­ leased on a ticket-of-leave. He decided to wait until the ticket had expired, and then to get the Jewels and leave the country. But a day or two after his release he walked out to look at the field. "There was no field. During the five years he had been in prison the estate of which the field was part had been built upon. He trandered about the houses in despair. But, as he turned a corner, he saw something which sug­ gested hope. Behind some railings was a tree of curious growth. "It was the tree twenty steps ;due north of which he had buried the. Je\V- els. He recognized it immediately, and ran toward it. Again he was in despair. A yard or two north of the tree was a chapel. He leaned against tbe railings, covering his face with his hands. "It happened presently that the head deacon of the chapel, a kindly 61d man, came down the road. He saw Bill standing like one in trouble, and stopped and asked what was the mat­ ter and whether he could help. "For a few moments Bill did not knew what to reply, but then he spoke well. He said that once he had been a burglar, but that he had learned in prison that burglary is wrong; that now he was trying to live an honest life, but that, as he had no friends, it was not easy. "The old man was touched. He had found Bill leaning against the chapel railings, and Bill had said that he had .no friends. Was it not his duty as nead deacon of the chapel to be a friend to Bill? Clearly It was. "He took Bill home with him; he was a bachelor, and there was no one to restrain his benevolence. They had supper and talked together. The dea­ con found Bill intelligent and fairly well educated, and offered him employ­ ment. He was a builder in the neigh­ borhood, he explained, and Jiad a va­ cancy in the works. Bill gratefully ac­ cepted the offer, and began his new career on the following Monday. "Months passed. Bill had changed wonderfully. He hadeforgotten his old habits and learned new ones. Tbe dea­ con was delighted. Not only was Bill the best of his workmen, but he \fas the most regular attendant at fhe; chapel. "Bill longed for the Jewels, land he worked hard because he knew that money would help him to get them. He attended the chapel beeause while thera be was near the Jewels, the teat fce bad taken being Just twenty steps due north From the tree. At first he had meditated digging down through the floor one night, but the chances of detection were great a>id he had given up the idea. ."Tears passed. The deacon had be­ come an invalid and Bill practically managed his business. He was an Im­ portant man at the chapel, too, and was often intrusted with a collection- box. One day the deacon died. Soon afterward it was known that, having no near relatives, he had left his prop­ erty to his fFiend William Jones." "I see!" I exclaimed; "Bill " Blanco Watson shook his head. "Bill was Bill no^longer," he 'said. "He had become a man of wealth. At the next election of deacons he was one of the successful candidates. In future we must refefr to him as 3&r. Jones, and not as Bill. "Mr. Jones was a most energetic dea­ con. He introduced new members and he persuaded old ones to attend more regqlarly. He started a young men's literary society and a series of Satur­ day entertainments. He made the chap­ el the most popular in the district; and then, at a New Year's business meet­ ing, he struck boldly for the Jewels. "The chapel was too small, he said in the course of an eloquent speech. They must erect another on a larger site. There was but one such site in the neighborhood. They must secure it before others did. He himself would undertake the building operations, charging only what they cost him. "He woqjd also purchase the old chapel. The net expenditure need not be very great "The proposal was well received, and a committee, with Mr. Jones as chairman, was appointed to consider the details. Their report was very favorable, and at another business meeting it was. decided to carry out the proposal. * "The necessary funds were sub­ scribed or guaranteed. Contracts were made with Mr. Jones. In the spring ot that year the building operations were Commenced, and by the autumn they were finished. The congregation re­ moved to the new chapel. Mr. Jones purchased the old one at a high price and entered Into possession. "And tben," I said, "I suppose he got the Jewels?" Blanco Watson laughedt "No," he said, "he did not. He broke up the floor himself, counted the steps due north from the tree again, and dug. He did not find the jewels. He counted the steps again and dug deep­ er. a He did not find them. Then he tried other places, but, although he kept on until he had tried everywhere be­ neath the floor, he never found the jewels." "Why, what had income of Aem?" "I cannot say. It is possible that when the foundation was being laid a workman had discovered and appropri­ ated them. Again, it Is possible that tfcere were tfro trees of similarly cu­ rious growth, and that the one outside the chapel was not the one Mr. Jones fir^l saw. Again " "And what has the story to do with the public house? But I can guess." "Of course you can. Mr. Jones was very angry with the chapel members. He considered that, by false pretenses, they had led him into buying the old chapel dearly and building the new one cheaply. He resigned his deaconshlp, and then sought a way to be revenged on them. He found one., On the site of the old chapel he built a public house--this public house in which we have sat. so long."--Ejlgar Turner, in The Sketch. • - ? • Stitched a Fractured BoneT John (Jordon. $9 years of age, found by the light of the X-ray that he was recovering the use of a fractured leg, the bone in which had been sewn to­ gether with silver threads. This man owes the saving of his limb to one of the most remarkable surgical opera­ tions of tbe age, performed by Profes- ---• «»#•>-, mv cuiiucui ope- chrtist, at Bellevue hospital. Gordon sustained a compound frac- tu«!, of the fenuir, the largest bone in the leg and the longest in the entire body. It was the result of a bad fall. Amputation seemed imperative, but he pleaded against the loss of a limb, and his sister had him removed from his home to Bellevue hospital. There Dr. Sayre and Dr. A. W. Will­ iams decided upon a daring operation, uniting the bone and tying it in place with the silvei films. The greatest fear was that blood poisoning might result. Gordon began to improve at once, how­ ever, and for a month past has been able to walk about with only the as sistance of a cane. In order to ascertain whether the ex­ perimental operation was a success or not. Dr. Sayre and Dr. Williams had Gordon removed In a carriage to the studio of Professor Martin, where the limb was observed in the glare of the X-ray. The fractured bone was found to be knitting together and fast heal­ ing. The silver strands were still in place and those he will have with him always.--New York Journal. A Good, Wood Polish. In these days of uncarpeted floors and Persian rugs a good wood polish is al­ ways welcome. A polish that hails from Japan is said to be very fine for furni­ ture as well as floors. It consists of one pint each of linseed oil and cold, j strong tea, the whites of two eggs and two ounces of spirits of salts. These several Ingredients to be mixed thor­ oughly together and poured into a bot­ tle, which should be well shaken before the polish is used. A few drops are poured upon a rubbing pad of soft silk and the wood rubbed with it, being af­ terward/ perished with an old silk hand­ kerchief. The process is a tedious and, fatiguing one for the cleaner, but its effect surpasses that of any easier and quicker method. 6*rety He Wouldn't. *If T were only a mah," she said, "we could •*•>' •. vi-l, v.-,- ^ "Possibly we could,'fl>j|j^d, "but the chances are we wouldn't!
