TUE PARTING IN PRISON..
offered to take him on board. Ile eagerly
accepted the invitation. He had never
been on a ship befa:re, leo ran Imre and
there, clambered aloi t and explored below.
When he cane hack up on deck, the
ship was uuder sail Cairo had been left
in the distance.
"I was on the ship six years and a half.
It was a pirate ship. It cruised in the
Blank sea all the time. The men were
fierce and rough They murdered and
pillaged and burned. They slid not mis-
treat rue or the little girl, but bloodshed
and robbery did not snit mo. When I was
13, I determined to escape. I had taken
money every chance I got and had over
$1,000. •
"One day the ship landed at NicolL
With two suits of clothes on and my
money plastered over my body I went
ashore with members of the crew and
when they were not looking made a break
for liberty."
After a year or so of roving he landed at
a coast town in .Japan. He was thon 17
years old. His physical strength was won-
derful.
He was standing one day looking in at
the door of a gymnasium, Becoming in-
terested in the work, he took a course of
training and left at the end of six months
a wonderful athlete.
Then he resumed his wanderings and
went to Russia. In Odessa lie joined a
company of nihilists and was eventually
arrested. His great strength mado him a
troublesome prisoner, and he made several
unsuccessful but daring attempts to escape.
In order to keep hirci quiet the prison su-
perintendent allowed him to marry a
young woman whose parents were nihil-
ists like himself.
They were as happy as people could well
be under such circumstances, and Skobel
made no more trouble for his keepers. But
by and by a child was born to them and
another and a third. The firstborn, a
bright boy, was 5 years old and was be-
ginning to understand why other children
drew away from him in the street. Once
he went crying to his mother and told her
the children had pointed at him in the
street and said his papa was a prisoner.
The next time Skobel's wife went to see
him she told him about it and mentioned
for the first time how she had been grade
to suffer also by unfeeling taunts.
When she had gone, Skobel sat a long
time and thought in gloom and bitterness.
When she came again, he told her she
must take the children and go to America,
where the finger of shame could never be
pointed at them. Reluctantly she obeyed.
As soon as she had gone Skobel became
unmanageable again. Fie grew savage
and had to be watched constantly. Twice
he made futile attempts to escape. Among
the political prisoners with whom he was
then thrown in contact was one man
prematurely aged whose days were clearly
numbered. He had a sacred talisman, a
small piece of metal with the picture of an
apostle on one side and a Biblical inscrip-
tion on the other. He gave it to Skobel.
Before he slept another plan of escape
had come to his mind.
The next night he crept under his cell
bench and set to work with his fingers dig-
ging the mortar away around one of the
large stones in the wall. He dug enough
out to get a slight hold with his fingers.
Exerting his enormous strength he suc-
ceeded in working the stone loose.
More dead than alive, he reached Ir-
katsk. The half wild natives cared for him
and gave him clothing. He put his old
clothes and the shackles in a bag and final-
ly reached Germany. The German Social-
ists assisted him to get passage on a ship
for America.
He landed in New York and rented a
room in the Jewish quarter. After weeks
of privation he secured an engagement in
a variety theater and began to perforin
feats of strength. The papers printed col-
umns about him. He was the lion of the
hour.
Inthe meantime Skobel's wife had gone
from New York to Chicago and from Chi-
cago to St. Louis. She read about the
feats of Skobel. That was not his correct
name nor the name under which she had
married him. She had never heard the
name before, but the papers said the strong
man had escaped from a Siberian prison.'
She wrote a letter to a New York paper.
A reporter took it to :Skobel.
He hurried to St. Louis, and there was
a joyful reunion` in the house oh Madison
street where he and his wife are now liv-
THE SHIP'S RUDDER.
Its Two Parts and the Difference in the
Strain That Comes Upon Therm.
Tho rudder of a wooden ship is com-
posed of the stalk and the backing, which.
are so joined together es to form in effect
a single piece. The complete rudder is
ooppered, to protect it from worms, and
then, besides being practically all in one
piece, it has that appearance also.
Thestalk is the part to whioh are at-
tached the pintles, or pivots, by which
the rudder is snspended and held in
place, these going through eyes set in the
ship's sternpost, The stalk runs up
through the stern of the ship. and to its
head is bolted a cap to which are attached
the ropes by means of which the rudder
is controlled, Tbe backing is the blade
dder.
of the rudder.
n
By far the greater strain comes on the
stalk, and the greatest strain of all comes
on the head of the stalk. --the rud(ler
head—where it is held. The stalk is made
of the wood most likely to stand the
strain, carefully seiieeted, sound, well -sea-
soned oak, while the backing is made 0f
spruce or hard pine, The stalk is of a
single, solid, massive piece, stout as an
oak tree, and indeed of the dimensions of
a small oak—something that a man can
pin his faith to, if he can have faith in
any wood—while the backing or blade
is, like many modern wooden masts,
built up. It would be difficult, if not tin -
possible, to find trees that would yield
planks big enough for the purpose in a
single piece, and the built-up banking,
mode of pieces of selected wood, eau
cosily be made of ample strength to
withstand any strain that will be brought
upon it.
As to the stalk. stout and solid as the
oak may bo, the head may be twisted by
the force of a tromeniious blow from a
wave upon the rudder, or, under the re-
peated strains of long use, the bead may
spilt, and so maim the stalk Uslloss.
Then the rudder is taken out and fitted
with a new stalls, h suitable stink is
selected and worked down to the proper
size and form. and very probably the old
backing is attached to ir. The life of a
rudder stalk would probably be twelve to
fourteen years. The backing might last
as long as the ship.
without ;t. "character."
The captain of a steamer plying be-
tween Liverpool and Cape Town found
himself short-handed when lie came to
leave the Afriean port. Several of his
men had deserted him for the gold fields.
So, when an Irishman came along and
wanted to work his way back to Liver-
pool, be said: "too ahead and get a re-
commendation. and I'll take you."
Mike eamo back soon with the needed
document. "That'll do," said the cap.
tain, "go aboard and got to work."
Next day was sailing day, and as they
were preparing to east off a Dutchman
came puffing up to the side and wanted
to come aboard and work for his passage,
"Jump on and be quick about it," said
the captain, without a question, for he
needed the band badly.
Tho first day out ho sot the mon to
swabbing the deck. The Dutchman
braced himself against the rail with a
bucket, and dipped Into the top of the
waves, passiug the water along to the
Irishman, who slashed it over the deck.
Pretty soon a high wave hit the Dutch-
man, he lost his balance and tumbled
over the side. The Irishman took one
look. Not a trace was to be *seen of the
unlucky Dutchman. He hurried over to
the captain's cabin and called frim out.
"What do you want?" demanded the
boss.
"Well, captain, whin I came to get
my job ye made me get a ricornmend,
didn't you?"
"Yes, you're all right, I guess. What's
the' matter?"
"Nell, you didn't ask the Dootohman
for a ricornmend, did you?"
"No; why?"
"Well, captain, the Dootoliman's gone
off with yer booekot."
The Horse lti,les Behind.
The Street Railway Journal publishes
a very interesting description of a primi-
tive street railway which operates in the
suburbs of San Francisco. A horse pulls
a loaded car to one end of the line, the
grade of which is sufficient to allow the
car to return by gravity to the starting
point, the horse being taken aboard the
car on the return trip. riding on the rear
platform. The grade averages 3% per
cent., and this is sufficient to return the
car, the horse and the passengers to the
foot of the hill entirely by gravity. The
line is about one mile in length. The
company owns one car and five horses,
and the daily mileage is about 40. The
horse is able to draw the car up the grade
at an average speed of about 2% miles
per hour, and the ear descends by gravity
at a rate of about 15 miles per hour.

Slane.
In a discourse upon "Uses and Their
Words," in the Philistine, Mr. William
McIntosh offers these samples of slang:
"A prominent member of the Scrib-
blers' club of Buffalo, second city of im-
perial New York State, was shocked one
day coming into the office of the news-
paper sbe worked on, to bear the city
editor say to the deputy horse reporter
concerning a summer shirt:
" 'That's pretty hot stuff! How much
did you Dough up for it?'

pathetic friend of the failure of a project•
ed league of women's clubs, and how

First Steps as a Young Christian.
The first steps in the Christian life are
like those Which come later. They are
included in the cultivation of penitence,
humility, simple trust in God and the
habits of Bible study and prayer and of
behavior in harmony with these. This is
indeed the fest thing to be done, and it
will be found a new experience, but it is
only that which the Christian must go
on doing as long as he lives. The expres-
sion, "looking to Jesus," embodies the
kernel of the whole matter. A true child
of Christ strives earnestly every day and
every hour to be and do what conscience
tells him, his Lord would be and would
do in the same .circumstances.

A BLACKSMITH'S STORY.
Be Became So Ilea !sawn That Work

From The Bridgewater Enterprise.
Mr. Austin Faney is a well-known
blacksmith living at Baker Settlemelat,
a hamlet about at
Hailes from Bridge-
water, N.S. alr. Pavey is well known
in the locality in whithh he lives. He
is another of the legion whose restora-
tion to health adds to the poularsty of
Dr. Williams' Pink • fills. Mr Fan_y
related his story of illness and renewed
health to a reporter of the Enterprise as
follows: "During the last winter, ow-
ing, I suppose, to overwork and impure
blood, I became very much reduced in
flesh, and had severe pains in the mus-
cles all over my body, I felt tired all
the time, had no appetite, and often felt
so low spirited that I wished myself in
another world. Some of the time neces-
sity compelled me to undertake a little
work in my blacksmith shop, but I was
not fit for it, and after doing the job,
would have to lie down; indeed, I often
felt like fainting. I was advised to try
Dr. Williams' Pings Pills,, and after us-
ing a couple of boxes, I felt a decided
relief. The poins began to abate, and
I felt again as though life was not all
dreaminess. By the time I had used six
boxes I was as well as ever, and able
to do a hard day's work at the forge
without fatigue, and those who know
anything about a blacksmith's work,
will knew what this means. Those who
are not well. will make no mistake in
looking for health through the medium
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure by going
to the root of the disease. They renew
and build up the blood, and strengthen
the nerves, thus driving disease from
the system. Avoid imitations by in-
sisting that every box you purchase is
enclosed in a wrapper bearing the full
trade mark, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People."

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach the
d,aeased portion of the ear. There is only one,
way to cure deafness. and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in-
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear-
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness ira
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condition or
the mucous surf aces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
ease of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can-
not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for

There are so many cough medicines in
the market, that it is sometimes difficult
to tell which to buy ; but if we had a
cough, a cold or any affliction of the throat
or lungs, We would try Bickle's Anti -
Consumptive Syrup. Those who have
used it think it is far ahead of all other
preparations recommended for such com-
plaints. The little folks like it as it is as
pleasant as syrup.
