At six bells,
Suddenly a hand was laid on his
shoulder. It was mate, Dick Cor-
bett.
'''Cold to -night, Michael," lie said.
"Ay — it is that."
"Makes you think of—of firesides
and Kitty, our Kitty—eh, Michael?"
"Let, Kitty's name alone!"
"No offense, mate. But she's not
yours yet."
"As good as mine. Only this one

"You may never finisb this one.

"Well, if we go, we go; but if Kit-

other man's."
"Sure of that?"
"Sure as death!"
"Hope you're right, my boyl Hope
you're right — but — 1 have my

"Of Kitty?" queried Michael fierce -

"1 don't know! Let's change the

and have a. tot—there's no one
about."
Never tele to harbor malice or
hard thoughts, Michael assented, and
the two men went below' to the
mate's cabin.
Up above, the roaring of the ele-
ments; down below, the doing of
Satan's work.
Michael's lips were no sooner put
to the glass than he was conscious
of something uncanny about it.
There is no delay in its 'effect.
Seeming to madden a.nci burn like
vitriol, it produced an instant sen.se
of suffocation, but fortunately riot
of blank minansciousness.
Except the lookout in the bows,
and the man at the wheel, aft.
there was not a soul to see Dick Cor-
bett stagger. on to the poop deck
with the inert body Of Michael over
his shoulders.

That ants doctor their sick lott
hypnotism and magnetism is proved
by observation. An ardent student
tells how he witnessed what may be
termed a seance itt medical science
among ants. He saw several of these
little creatures emerge from the bills
and noticed that there were some
among them which were weak and
emaciated—invalids, in faet. They
were accompanied by healthy mem,
bers of the conummity, and all made
their way toward a distant 'mound.
On following their movements
through a glass the observer saw on
this mound a big aud sturdy ant
which made some motions in the di-
rection of the advancing invalids.
The latter went up the mound, one
by one, and submitted theniselves to
treatment. This coneisted in the
physician ant passing his feelers
over the head quid body of the pa-
tient in a manner distinctly sugges-
tive of the -hypnotizing of nerves and
muscles praetised by human doctors.
Every one went through the treat-
ment, then the patients went back.
and the doctor marched off in the
opposite direction.
A QUEER BATH,
In Finland a. noeel form of vapor
bath has recently become popular.
A person who proposes to enjoy it
lies down at full length in a ham-
mock, which is suspended over a
large bath tub filled with ice-cold
water. An attendant them throws
into this water some hot bricks,
whereupon a vapor arises anti en-
velops the person lying in the ham-
mock. For some minutes the ate
tenciant allows huc to emain ex-
posed to the vapor, and then, after
removing the brleks, he gives the
hammock a jerk, and the -gentleman
in it conies plump down into told
wetdre Those who na,ve tried this
method of bathing say that the sell-
sation is quite novel, and that the
sudden plunge into tite cold water
really invigorates ons
