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. THE ,1LfI1YYIICTS Failed inTheir Work of Chang- ing Metals into Gold, Diamond Ryes Never Fail to Make Old and Faded Things As God as New, Atehymists like Ocher, Alfarabl, Avi- cenna, Albertus Magnus, Artephius, and, others, who pretended to he able to change all the base metals into gold, were, in their times, first class impost- ers and deceivers.

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?' "An hour later she was telling a sym- pathetic friend of the failure of a project• ed league of women's clubs, and how 'Miss Mulligan turned 'em down and they all threw fits.' " es clines.

Smnrchers think they have a singe on cycling pleasures. The humped -up scorcher Is not the bow -ideal of cycling ladies. in just one summer a cyclist may have many springs and falls. This summer's most popular air will be that used in bicycle tires. In cycling an ounce of "take care" is worth a pound of "fig it." "I'm going to attend a blow-out," said the cycler as he prepared to relight his lamp. The scorcher estimates his pleasure by the mile; the more sensible cycles measures his joy by the hour. 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.

Be Became So Ilea !sawn That Work Was Almost luteoa,iffle - Ilia Whole Buds Rne1;c,1 i 'i'h 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." Irresistible.

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.
