In November, 1832, I was mate of the bark Union on a voyage from Melbourne to New Caledonia. She was commanded by Capt. Thomas Davidson, and was a snug. stunch craft and Well found in all partiCu- iars. I had made two voyages in her from Australia to New Zealand, and no sailor could ask for a better berth. We were now filled up with dry goods, groceries, hard- ware, seeds, boots and shoes, and other goods in demand by the islanders to the northeast, and were to make a trading voy- a re. bWhen I came on deck at midnight on the night of Nov. ‘20 to relieve the second mate, I found the bark drifting about like a log. There wasn’t a breath of air moving, and the ocean was quiet except for the ground swell, which is ever at work. It was a. star- light night. and yet there was a. haze which darkened the stars and circumscribed the; l havnig food and water to last them for two vision. The man at the wheel had nothing to :lo, and though the lookout was wide awake, as I convinced myse took charge of the deck, there was no reason to believe that anything short of a sudden breach by a whale would put us in danger. I had killed about half an hour’s time when I was hailed by the lookout. As I went- for- ward he said: “ Mr. Haskell, it seems to me that I catch queer sounds over the starboard bow, and I wish you would listen with me.” “ What do you mean by queer sounds?” I asked as I Went forward to the heel of the bowsprit with him. “ Why, sir, it’s like a man crying out for help, only he is a long ways off. I heard it as soon as I came on watch.” All the others in my watch had tumbled up when I did, but with the exception of relieving the wheel and look out there was nothing to be done, and the others were sleeping as they sat with their backs against the bulwnrks. I listened intentlyfor four or five minutes, but caught no sound, and was about to turn away when the lookout raised his head in warning, and I plainly heard the sounds he had referred to. As there was no air stir- ing, it was difficult to locate them. As they came but faintly, it was hard tojudge what caused them. On shore you might have cal- led them the cries of night birds or the come to your cars, you instantly think of wrecks drifting about or people dying of hunger. and thirst in small boats. I remain- ed right there until the sounds wore repeat- cd twice over, and then I agreed with the outlook that they came to us over the starâ€" board bow. Being satisfied that the cries were from some one in distress, I called the Cap- tain,and he ordered the to send up two sky- rockets and burn a. port fire. These things would be a reply to the castaways, and if they were on a wreck and could not reach us they would feel assured that we would stand by them and begin a search as soon as daylight came. All the men in my watch were aroused, and all gathered in the bows to listen for any further calling. The sounds came every few minutes, and in about an hour it; was eVidcnt that the castaways were coming nearer. In fifteen minutes more we could make out a man’s voice shouting: “ Bark ahoy-«ahoy! F01" God’s sake, don t go away and leave me I” I now burned another port fire, and be- fore my two hours were up we could faintly make out a craft of some sort to the west of us, while the voice of the man sounded ul- niost as plain as if he were aboard of us. He shouted the same thing over and over, and I finally answered him and asked him to be patient for an hour longer. \Ve might have lowered a boat and made an investigation, but to tell you the truth every one of us was nervous and the thing had an uncanny look. “’0 didn’t propose to run into any trap in the darkness. After my answering the man became quiet, and we heard no more from him for a long time. Although my watch was up at ‘2 o’clock, not one of us turned in, and the old watch - also kept the deck. \Ve wanted to see daylight come and investigate the Situation. Between '2 o‘clock and daylight the strange craft. we had sighted through the gloom ap- proached us so near that we could have thrown a stone aboard; that is, the two crafts approached each other, drawn to- gether by that peculiar magnetism of the salt waters on two wooden bodies which men ofsciciice cannot explain. I have seen the same thing in the case of two \vatéi casks, two small boats, and even of two dead and floating human bodies. When daylight finally came, there she was, only 300 feet away, broadside on, but her bows pointed the contrary way. She was a small, snug brig, with all her canvas aloft in trim condition. A man was leaning flvcr her low bulwarks, looking full at us, as we were at him, and not a word was spoken for five minutes. From the moment we caught sight of him we decided that he was all alone on the brig. By and by Capt. Davidson called to him from the quarter deck : “ Brig shoy! “'hat brig is that? ” No answer from the man leaning on the rail. " Brig nhoy 3 What’s the matter 2” The rush moveda bit, but never opened his mouth to speak. As the brig had no signal of distress fly- ing, and was apparently all right. the con- duct of the "‘1!" struck us as most singular. After a brief consultation with me the Captain hailed again : “ You there. on board the bri â€"what do you want? Have you gone da t that you cannot understand and answer me? ” If the man had been a stone figure lashed to the rail he could not have remained more quiet, so far as we could see. “Lower the boat and board him, Mr. Haskell?" snapped the Captain as he lost his patience. “ He's the queerest sailor and this is the oueerest adventure I've had to do with. lfcttcr take your revolver along." In ten minutes we were under ‘tho bows of the bri . As soon as we left the bark the man and only disappeared. As I caught ‘. . - .

After a couple of hours, how- ever, during which all of us treated him a ith the utmost kindness, he began to mend, and before the day was over we had the most of his story. But for the proofs at hand we should have passed it by as a yarn to amuse sailors. This was November, as I have told you. Eight months previously the brig had sailed 1 out- of Sydney on her way to New Zeal-ind. After leaving her port she had not even been I spoken, and weeks before we found her she L was listed as probablylost. Everything went ‘: fairly well aboard for the first week out, '1 though the winds were light and contrary. Then the mate. of the brig, who, from all ac- counts was a brutal fellow, began knocking 3 the men about in a way which bred a inu- : tiny. The leader of the mutiny was per- I haps hoping for trouble, and perhaps he scliemed to bring it about, having plans of ’ his own to further. At any rate a mutiny i took place, but without bloodshed. The Captain and mate were adrift in the gig, They were never heard of again. K The second mute knew a. little something i of navigation, and though he was not the: leader of the mutiny he joined in with the I men and was afterward made Captain. The ' idea was to have “ a good time,” and the brig was headed up for the Fcejee Islands. There were five men, a. boy, and the cook in her crew, and the first mom after secur- ing possession was to serve out rum. It was nothing short of a miracle that the craft was not lost. Some of her men were more or less intoxicated all the time, and dis- putes and fights were of daily occurrence. Unless there seemed to be positive danger of disaster the sails were not handled at all, and much of the time the brig took care of herself while the men ate, drank, and play- ed cards and ended up in a fight. Sails were sighted now and then, but none pass- ed near enough to identify her. l About two weeks after the mutiny the I leader, whose name was Ross, who had come out to Australia as a convict, decided that the apprentice boy, who was only 14 i The¢e dcir, old-fashioned blooms have taught That yet. for meâ€"oh. mteful thought!â€" Bcueoth the universal dome.

And yet when it is complet- ed, and cleanliness predominates “ upstairs and down-stairs” and out of doors, and all our old furnishings have been renovated and made to look their very best, if we can iii- vest iu a few, or even one new thing to add to the comfort and attractiveness of our home, the disagreeable features of the work are soon forgotten. \Vith the majority of housekeepers this last-mentioned outlay must be small, and months of hoarding are often necessary to the accumulation of even a few dollars (for dime savings banks are teaching economy to many adults as well as children), and their expenditure should always be given proper consideration. \Vhetlier it were better to invest it all in some one article,or to spread it over several lrooms, each housekeeper must decide for herself. Sometimes there is no one promin- ent need, and the expenditure of a dollar here and there will give the whole house a. “ dress-up” air. , If it is a. carpet you need, buy the best of its kind, or none. A nice quality of matting is pretty and serviceable for chambers, but do not purchase any but the best quality of ingrain carpet for a living or sitting room.

It was at first decid- ed to kill him, but two or three of the crew opposed the murder, and he was turned adrift on a. small raft with a. limited quanti- ty of provisions. The Weather was very fine and the sea. calm, and lie was in sight for hours. One of the singular things in this story is the fact that the boy was pick- ed up two days later by a. French sclioolsliip and was lauded after some months at the Cape of Good Hope. After weary weeks the brig reached the islands and gave out that she was a trader. She did little trading, liOcher, and when the suspicxons of the natives on one island became aroused she sailed for another. At I every stop two or three natives were picked up to do the work aboard, and sometimes the whole crew lived ashore for a week or two and let the brig ride at anchor and take care of herself. She was at anchor at one of the a dangerous witness against them in case ‘delusion and a snare A border adds somewhat to the expense of a. carpet, but gives it a decidedly more finished, handsome look. The custom now prevalent and gaining in favor, of leaving a. space of form eight to tweIVc inches between the edge of the carpet and the baseboard, is one of the most sensible ones possible ; and all rooms in ordinary use should have a. bor- der painted or stained to correspond with the ground work of the carpet and. be treat- ed in this way. This leaves no place for dust to lodge, and by expending five min- utes each day in running a sweeper over them, no weekly upheaval of a “ sweeping day” is necessary.

The craft drifted to the cast with wind and current, and finally entered the south Pacific. All sail had been taken in, and Hastings could do nothing to check her drift. She drove as the winds and currents happened to catch her, but mainly to the east. Time and again the lone man con-I templated suicide. He no longer cared for rum, and as soon as night had come he was afraid of his own company. There was never a night when he did not hear the boy on the raft hailing him and begging to be taken aboard. Unce, driven to distraction by the loneliness of his situation, he leaped overboard, but the thought of being dc- vourcd by a shark brought. about a reaction, and be rescued himself. He clearly re- membered the day and date when the brig went adrift. He had been afloat just sixty- three days when we sighted him. During the first two weeks he had watched the compass and noted the general direction of his drift, but after that he lost all interest. He must have gone to the southeast or he would have brought up among some of the islands of the Paumotu group. With a. change of wind and current he had been slowly returned south of his track. He ‘ was going to the west when we found him. When asked if he had sighted no sail in his long drift, Hastings replied that he had seen half a score, but all afar off. The brig, having no soil set, could have been passed very close without being noticed. Once a ship passed him within two miles, but as all ‘ the flags had been taken ashore to decorate the camp he could not set a makeshift sig- nal until too late to attract attention. Now and then he made a flare at night, but noth- l ing ever came of it. He finally ave up all 9 hope, and a week longer woul doubtlessI have driven him to insanity. We took the brig into port and made a‘ nice bit of salvage money by it, and, as in duty bound, turned Hastings over to the law to deal with. He died, however, before go- ing to trial, and so far as I know none of {the other mutineers were ever found and punished, though search was made for them by a nian-of-war for several months.

The total area under cultivation is less than a million acres, and the yield is at present some ten or twelve million bushels annually. Buckwheat can hardly be called a breadâ€" innking grain, though a baked buckwheat cake is by no means unpalatable, and is ex. ceptionally wholesome. Batter cakes made from the flour arefavorites in many sections, and it is in that manner that it is principal- ly consumed by human beings. The whole grain forms a valuable food for poultry and other fowls, and is greatly liked by wild pigeons. In the earlier times, many farm- ers annually cultivated a small tract of buck- wheat in some remote corner of the farm, near to woodland, to serve as a bait for these birds. As the grain approached me.- turity, the neighboring trees would be oc- cupied every morning, soon after daylight, by flocks of pigeons, while the farmer with his gun, stealthin creeping within range, took that means of providing a choice din- ner. The flowers of buckwheat yield an abundance of honey, though dark in color, and the bee-hunter, as well as the pigeon- liuiiter, profited by the attraction of the field for the winged gatherers of sweets. W Deemlng the Murderer- Speaking of the man now under arrest at Melbourne, Australia, for wife murder, a London correspondent says: “Deeming, one might say, is quite a. characteristically British person. In the course of his evil career he seems to have handled a hundred times more ill-gotten money than Ravucliol ever saw. He has a. distinctly Anglo-Saxon turn for finance and large swindliug opera- tions. His darling ambition was to pose as a. wealthy, well-born gentleman, which pro- bably is the most generally controlling in- stinct implanted in the insular breast. This wild spirit of vaunting, of showing bank notes, proclaiming his riches, jiiigiing jewel- lery in the ears of entranced rustics, really led to his final downfall. No doubt it also served enormously and falsely to inflame the record of his career which the press of threecontinentsisiiowlaboriouslycompiling. Every day brings a fresh story from some English hamlet where the landlady of an inn recalls a stranger visiting the place some years ago, bragging about his fortune and displaying fabulous sums of money. These are all unlicsitatingly put down to Deeming. On the other hand, if he realizcstliemedizeval conception of a ferocious and boastful island- er, there is something very striking about the thought of him at work in the darkened cabin of the Ballarat all night sawing with a. piece of broken eyeglass at his heavy moustache and pulling out hair by hair what he failed to cut off. One cannot ini- agine Ravachol subjecting himself to such sustainedcrucl torture oven to save his neck. Up to the present it is probable that tlie newspapers of England and Australia combined have paid something like $100,000 of cable tolls on account of this phenomenal assassin. Before he is finally ut out of the way this expen- diture wil doubtless reach the neighbor- hood of $250,000, which, I dare say, is more than all the London press telegraphic expenses of the Franco-German war up to the capitulation of Paris. It is a. common- aging over 1,000 feet wide. The molten stream from Vesuvius, which passed through Torre del Greco in 1737,‘cou- tained 33,000,000 cubic yards of solid matter. The year 1793 witnessed the desttuction of Terra del Greco the second time from the eruptive action of Vesuvius,'when the mass of lava amounted to 43,000,000 cubic yards. In 1760 Etna poured out a blazing river that covered 84 square miles of surface with boil- ing lava from 10 to 40 feet deep. It was on this occasion that the sand, ashes and scoriao formed Mount Rosini, near Nicholisa, a cone~shaped structure, two miles in circum- ference and over 4,000 feet high. A stream of lava thrown out by Etna in 1810 was in motion at the average of one yard per day for nearly ten months after the eruption. Vesuvius in A. D. 79 vomited forth an amount of mat-tor whose bulk far exceeded that of the mountain itself. In 1760, Etna disgorged more than ‘20 times its own mason} Syria, Egypt and Turkey ‘ have received contributions of ashes from Vesuvius. From‘: this crater were hurled stones of 800 pounds weight to Pompeii, a distance of six miles; puring an eruption in 79 A. 1). Cotopaxi‘, has cast a rock containing 100 cubic yards 8. distance of nine miles, and which,cslcula- ting from the angle ofsscension, must have reached an altitude of 16 miles. On more than one occasion this volcano has shot upl a solid stream to the height of ovoi‘ 6,000 feet. In 1815 a volcanic eruption in Java covered 400 square miles with ashes and: lava, and out of a population of 15,000 only ‘20 persons escaped with their lives. , During the terrible earthquake of 1883, not less than 20 large and small Javanese volcanoes were vomiting at the same time. Fifty square miles of land and two villages entirely disappeared and a section of a. mountain chain, 05 miles long 20 miles broad, was wholly swallowed up, leaving a lake instead. It was the vapor from this eruption that caused the remarkable after- sunsct lows over the greater part of the earth, ( uring the full of 1883. The same country had another destructive outbreak and a series of earthquake shocks in 1891. The Hawaiian group of islands in the South Pacific Ocean is wholly volcanic. They appear where the ocean is from 16,000 to 18,000 feet deep, have bases that are con- fluent, and have diameters ranging from 10 to 60 miles. The peak of Manna Lou, on one of these islands, is 13,000 feet above the sea, thus indicating a mass of uplifted mat- ter 31,000 feet above the ocean floor. These illustrations will suffice to convey an idea. of how permanent matter is belclicd onto the surface from the interior of the earth, but the volatile substance, the gase- ous matter, cannot be easily estimated ; yet this is the vehicle, the motor, the active agent in all these processes. Here We have a clear and altogether logically physical ex- planation of the causes that underlie the formation of mountains. The primary cause of volcanic outpourings is the pressure of the cooled shell of the earth on the gaseous and molten interior. As these interior substances come forth the shell generally settles, and, us it has to ac- commodate itself to a. slowly decreasing in- terior, n. wrinkle, or a. number of wrinkles on the shell, is the inevitable consequence. These wrinkles we denouiinate mountains. We can. readily account far the “ chain ” system in mountain formation and can also understand why they are so enerally por- nllel to coast lines, and also wIiy they occa- sionally disregard the chain formation and display themselves conspicuously. But whence comes this incandescent in- terior? This is still primeval heatâ€"the fiery, glowing condition which is the incipi- ent stage cf nearly all bodies in space. place to say that the telegraph never be- fore played such a. strangely interesting and important part in a. criminal investigation. crowds, etc., which are wholly unlike what the dull British reporter would write, but read exactly as if they had been written in Denver or Kansas City. This whimsical like- ness is carried out to the detail of describing the detective in charge of the prisoner, quoting his remarks, stupid ones and all, and generally elevating him into a. kind of a hero. English reporters would think it undiguified to invest a mere policeman with ‘ a. distinct personality.” *â€".â€"â€"--I_ True Service- The whole sum of this title of life is ser- . vice.

If we inquire into the relationship be- twcen volcanic action and earthquakes, we shall find such relationship to be very in- timate. The earth’s crust is too thick and the rock stratification affords too much resistance for an outbreak to} occur where- cver there chances to be a. more than ordin- arily heavy pressure. This overpressure, then, may exhibit itself in Various ways on the surface, depending on its internal en- vironment. This greater pressure of a _cer- tain urea, in obedience to the law that impcls force to follow the lines of least; re- sistance, may extend laterally into r. region of lesser pressure, with or without a per- ceptible rumbling or jarring of the surface. The variation in the phenomena, however, will be. due to the many varying factors, which can only be determined by a careful analysis of the action and referring it back synthetically to such causes as would neces- sarily produce such action. An earthquake then is only the prcmonitary disturbance that indicates an increasing or a readjust- ing pressure and which, in the fullness of its time, will expend itself in an emission to the surface. This may sometimes involve centuries and large areas that are jarred may never realize more than such jarring, as weaker localities, or localities having rents, may experience the result of the final action.
