A TERRIBLE NIGHT AT SEA. l I A Crazy Captain Sets tire to manual and attempt: to Shoertho flow. The crew of the German ship Margar- ethe, Ca t. Eilmer, which sailed from New Yer with a cargo of crude oil on the 2nd of June and arrived at Bre- merhav en on the 11th of July, had a ter. rible experience on the voyage and a narrow escape from fire. The crew con- sisted of F. Wiggars, first mate; P. Fis- cher, second mate; \V. Meinitz and It. Luschuat, sailors, and T. Wcrtzen, a boy. The following story is told by First Mate Wigner-s. According to the ship‘s jour- nal, kept by Mr. Wiggers, the captain was unwell from the departure of the ves. sel. He complained of pains in the bowels and was always in a very bad temper. He could not sleep, and scarcely took any nourishment. On the 8th of June he did not come out of his cabin at all, but fold the first mate not to say anything about his illness in the journal. On the 9th he grew worse, but. would not eat anything, On the 10th he was out of bed, walked about in an excited state, and scolded continually. Toward evening he was better and ate something. On the 11th of J time his state was very bad. He suffered visibly themost terrible pains in the bowels, and after he was TREATED WITH nor SAND-HAGS he got better. Toward evening he took thirty drops of laudnnuni and a couple of cups of tea. On the 12th but plates and hot stones were applied, but without ef- fect. He took supper with the men, and again forbade the mate to say anything On the talked much to incoherent 13th he went on deck, himself, said aloud many things, and was seeking after some of the sailors whom he believed to be in hidiri V. He went early to bed and slept all night. On the 14th of June he felt much better and spoke sanely. He said to the matcs that his nerves were excited, that in hearing the least noise he believed some body was speaking to him. and he answered. In the course of the day he ate and drunk with the mates, made his observations and calcula- tions on the chart, and gave general orders. Toward evening the wind blew harder, and the captain ordered the taking in of some sails in a proper manner. When Mr. Wiggers stood on deck at; about 6 o‘clock in the evening the captain was on the after deck and was surprisingly quiet. Sudden- ly he asked the first mate what the crew wanted on the half deck. The mate told him there was nobody there, but he dis- puted the fact and contended that he had heard distinctly that they intended to throw him overboard. To appease him, the mate called the men out ; the captain counted them and asked if any one of them had anything against him. Hclieard them, he said, very often grumble and talk of throwing him overboard. He then dismissed the menâ€"who, of course, had all denied the statementâ€"and Went ‘ l . . .

When, from ‘ l time to time, the great leader changes his mind he does so from honest conviction, mixed with an appetite for applause, and then he see his old friends in the light of a company of blind fools. You cannot realize the Liberal chief, or form a pic- ture of the man, solely through a study of his interminable speeches, books,p:ini- phlets, letters, and post cards. You must see him in the flesh. There, in office, sits the First Lord of the Treasury and leader of the House of Commons, stretch- ed out with his legs straight before him, and his toes turned up to the glass ceil- ing. His hands he listlessly crosses over ;' his lap. His head droops over his righti shoulder. His face is pallid. The cor- ners of his mouth droop as if in pain. His scant grey hair clings like a fringe of floss about the base of his great skull. His eyes are closed. The powerful fea- tures, touched wiih a tinge of sweetness and overworn with half a. centuryof poli- tics, mutely engender pity. His ill-fitting clothes hang loosely about his figure, al- ways lithe and active in motion, and with the free stride of a wild thing of the woods. So, seeming as if flaCcid from want of sleep, he lies in wait. Then the lax figure sits bolt upright, chin in the air, and hands ulssping his knees. All traces of fatigue pass away as the eyes, large and luminous, keen and grey, rest with anger upon the enemy. The nostrils dilate, the lipsâ€"still closeâ€"work impa- tiently, the body loans forward,the hands glide upon the knees pressedoutward. In a moment Mr. ‘ladstone is upon his feet. Then he opens the flood gates of his oratory, and deluge: the Commons with superb eloquence. The timbre of his voice is delightful, gliding, mellow, drop- ping to the soft sound of wind-stirred reeds by the river, rising to the full volume of the storm beating and bellying the sails ofa ship at sea. In the heat and passion of debate Mr. Gladstone does not respect persons, but rends friends and foes alike. In his eyes it is assuredly a sin to differ from him in opinion, even though his enemies’ thoughts were his own of the previous day. The Emperor Alexander II, was murdered on Sunday, March, 13, 1881, and on the evening of the following Tuesday addresses tn‘her Majesty, and motions of sympathy and condolence, were mrried unanimously in both Houses. I shall never forget the impressivcness of the Premier's manner, nor the ad. mirablc emphasis with which he applied the words of Homer to the Czar.

Jumping out of his cabin, he met the boy \Vertzcn, who told him that the captain had called him and then fired at him. Mate Wiggcrs ran to the captain’s cabin, but when he opened the door the captain pointed a revolver at him, saying that he would fire at any one trying to some in. Mr. Wig- gcrs closed the door, but reopened it at once carefully, and saw broken glass ly- ing about. The captain was in his bed- room, where the mate could see fire, and out of which thick smoke was coming. He returned quickly, alarmed the crew, took a couple of mats as shields against the revolver bullets, and tht again to the cabin. It was full of smoke and the captain vgas just coming out of the bedroom, where t is FLAMES WERE DUKSTINO FROM A SOFA COIINHIL The captain did not see the mate, but went to the lamp of the cabin, and, with his revolver, smashed the glass and the cylinder, and would have broken the glass globe containing the petroleum if Mr. Wiggers had not interfered, and, after much wrestling, thrown him on the bed, Here, however, he made use of his wen- pon and pointed the revolverat him. The mate ducked his head and thebullet pass- ed over it. He hastened to his own cabin,the captain following and threaten- ing him with his revolver. The mate seized a chair and threw it into his face. At the same time the captain fired again. Mate Wiggers made for the second cabin, where he and the second mate, covered with a bed-sheet, had scarcely reachcdthe door when the capfaln fired at him, too.

Health has been informed that the Liiii'menfum crinule, recommended to pre- vent the hair from falling off, is one of the best preparations for the purpose. Its formula is cantharidiii, one grain; acetic other, a quarter of an ounce; dis- solve, and add rectified spirits, three orifices ; cantor-oil, one ounce ; oil of lav- ender, fifteen miniins.

It is not every sort of leather that will take the black color equally wull, says (.‘crbcrzci'liuiy, the oak-tanned taking the color nest, pine and birch bark leather taking it the worst. If the leather does not take the color well, it should receive some prcvlous preparation. A solution of the carbonate of soda is generally used for this purpose, although the use of ammonia is less injurious to the leather. The leather is then washed off with clean water, and the ground color laid on thinly with a brush and rubbed in until it is all taken up. Glass bonds are made by drawing the glass into small tubes, and breaking the tubes into suitable lengths for forming the heads. The material is then placed upon a flat plate like a frying-pan, which is heated just hot enough to allow the glass to draw the sharp edges info a round ; at the same time the plate or pan is gently vibrated, so as to prevent oo- hieiion of the softened beads. A cylin~ dot is also used somewhat like a coffee- roastcr on a small scale. Faceted beads are made by pressing the heads into small moulds that have sharp edges and a punch, so that the eye is punched and the bead faceted at one operation, using small rods of glass heated in a mufllo fur- naco. ‘9- DIAMONDS 0P THOU U "T If we had but more faith, we should have less mire.
