SmIll t c% AID OF MALAY PIRATES `THE PRICE WAS TOO GROAT EIGHT OF A CHINESE JUNK'1 CREW LOSE THEIR LIVES. Hung up the Steward and forced Him to Disclose Location of Valuables. A rousing pirate story comes from the vicinity of -Singapore. A large Chinese junk left Singapore -_for Hainan, but found the wind:- unfavorable and next night dropped anchor between Pulo Tokong and the mainland of Johore, not far from the Sultan's Asian Monte Carlo. The crew of fourteen and fur passengers v; ere aroused at midnight byt. a barking of the junk's dog, ,/ t the alarm was speedily silo ed by A 1f LAY KNIFE. Two prahus lad come alongside 10 and in themTTwere ten men. some I. Chinese and others Malays. They proceeded to strike right ill and left among the sailors, laying several low. Then they seized the chincl and proceeded to hang him -buccaneer style to force • 11 to disclose the location of the most valuable cargo. This he did. and the pirates having secured a. - the booty they could snake way with departed as silently as they had come. The booty was not immense. It consisted of $1 in money, gold leaf valued at $80. raw chandu valued at $90 and six boxes of per- t effects. hen the survivors came to count losses they found five dead on the junk, two were missing, their bodies baying been thrown overboard. and four were wounded. one of whom died later. Isis deposition was taken at the General Hospital at Singapore. Seven of the occupants of the junk were PRACTICALLY UNIT CET, and these started to bring their res- et] back to Singapore, the chinchow- coming on ahead in a sampan. 1Vhen he arrived a police party put out in the launch Lady Eve- lyn and met the junk off Tanjong hatong. She was towed into port and the injured men were convey- ed to the General Hospital, and the five bodies landed for burial. The sur{ ivors t4hrned over to the police four weap&ns found on board af- ter the pir es left. These may help in identi ing the criminals, who escaped tiilscnthc'd.

The French correspondent of the London Telegraph relates the fol- lowing amusing story of a jail -bird's joke. A man In rags and list shoes stopped a motor taxi near the Arc de Triomphe and said: "My name is the Count d'Abbevrlle. I have just wagered fifty louis that just as I am now, 1 will get dinner in a smart restaurant. There will be five louis for you if you help me to win the bet." The chauffeur entered into the fun of the thing, and drove the "count" to an expensi{e restaur- ant at Montmartre. There he gave the landlord the tip, and the "count" was served with the ut- most deference, not a waiter ap- pearing to notice the state of his clothing. %%lien the time camo to call for the bill the "Count d'Abbe- ville" said: "1 have not a sou. I have just. come out of Fresnes pri- son on ticket-uf-leave. Take me to the police-rtaiten." The landlord, the waiters, and the chauffeur roared at Monsieur le Comte.); good joke, and, to keep up the fun, all went with hire to the police -station. There the joke was found to have even more point in it than they thought ; but a different one front that which they had expected. The (sunt Abbeville" had been very humorous at their expense in a lit- eral sense. He proved to be one Jules Duval, several times convict- ed, and he was perfectly correct in saying that he had not a penny, and had just come out of Fresnes pri- son. He has now gone back to jail. i11 Republican France anyone seems able to swindle anybody by calling himself a count. --1' — OILING THE WAVES. Valuable Aid in Wearing Ship in a Gale. When the captain of a wave -beat en ship pours oil upon the waters he does not empty a barrel of keres ene over the side. IIe stitches up three or four cotton bags, which he fills first with oakum and then with oil, usually equal parts of fish oil and eerosene. The bags are then tied tightly at the tops nod pricked all over with a sail needle to permit the oil to exude, and are hung from the boat davits and weather chains to drip their mollifying contents on the raging billows. The bags must not be allowed to get empty. but must be refilled every twee hours. For six hags ten gallons of oil are used in thirty hours. Some- times, if it is very cold. the oil con- geals and will net run out through the holes fast enough, and the mouth . f the bag is then !miscued to Int it e• -ape in tent. way. int • nee; i• : . ,it al tei a r.•:beth see.

Almost every week in Liverpool, England, some woman comes up ac the Pulite Court charged either with being an unregistered money - lender or with carrying on busi- ::ess away front her registered ad- dress. Ls nearly every case the woman is heavily fined, and the fines are always paid without delay. these women are extraurd►1ul rill •tctive in Liverpool, and in the • pinion of one who knows then: and their system thoroughly, they ere In some part at least respon- -ible for the city's black record fur doulcaaic tragedies. WRECKERS OF SLUMS. "They are the wreckers of the ;Irons," a London Daily News rep rosentativc was told. "How ma:: •tonnes they have wrecked and low nuch misery they have caused pro - `,ably no one can estimate. And. despite the activity of the police. :hey seem to have established them elves firmly, so firmly that in some listricts they exercise absolute :yraany.." Their system is very simple. Thea ;o not bother themselves or their lients with County Courts and the ,araphernalia of the law. Some ,00r woman, possibly unknown to 'er husband, goes to one of their 'or• a shilling or two to meet some •tains. She gets it—at an interest -1 2d. or ed. on the shilling per veck. Perhaps she does not pay 'er a week or two. The debt mounts tit at compound interest. She can -ben only pay off r. portion at it ime. The rest stays to germinate. sped at last perhaps she may have laid ten or fifteen times the amount 'sorrowed and still be heavily in lebts. The husband must not be 'cid, and so the money -lender main `sins her grip. At last she is un eble to pay an instalment. FEMALE SITYLOCK. Then the money -lender shows no .r,ercy to her victim. The women are all burly. Fragile women do sot go into the trade. In the Police Court a short time ago a woman ' as dealt with who had almost torn o pieces one of her victims who ':ould not pay. She gripped her '►y the hair. pulled her down in the ;utter, and scratched her with a •-.atpin. This is the usual method ,f securing payment. "Very often," the interviewer Nils told, "the moneylender has a :eneral shop. at which her client •s forced to purchase, paying exor• s,itant prices for inferior stuff — a billing, say, for groceries that 'ould be got for 3d. or ed. at an 'rdinary shop. And the more in- terest paid often works out at more han a thousand per cent. per an- -sum. A curious point about these women was elucidated a short time ago. For long it had been suspect e that there was son -mole all these women financing them — t n:oney-lending Moriarity. Recent- ly the police got this man. and he was fined $500.

ENGLAND'S DEBT TO CONVICT. Fine Roads and Fortifications Built by Convict Labor. The news published the other day that a well -made road has just been completed by convict labor through Parkhurst Forest, in the Isle of Wright, to the site marked out for the new colony of habitual criminals, serves to call attention to a seldom -noticed phase of Eng- land's penal system. Not all prisoners are employed at comparatively useless tasks, such as oakum -picking and stone -break- ing, for example, nor have they been in the past. But for convict labor the nation would not to -day own the fine docks it possesses at Chatham and Portsmouth, to say nothing of the fortifications on the Verne and on Blue Bell Hill. At other places round the coasts convicts have const meted fine breakwaters, deepened harbors, nod widened estuaries. The wonderful system of defensive galleries at Gibraltar, too, was constructed by them : anti at Malta they have ex- cavated vast subterranean granaries in the living reek, capable of hold- ing food supplies for the garrison for ten year• ahead. Perhaps, ' however, the most stupendous convict enterprise ever undertaken is that now in progress at Dartmoor, where the wilderness is slowly, yet surely, bring t rans- formcd into something {cry like a garden. No paid labor would ever have accomplished this almost miracle, for the simple reason that it could ncler lia{e paid for it to have undertaken it.

Everyone has put his ear to a tele- graph polo to hear the wires hu►n, and most people have assumed that the wind was entirely responsible fur the sound. ho it is, in many cases, but often the note is heard where not the slightest movement of tho air is pmecoptible. A recent French investigator tells us that tho sound in this case is due to the ex- pansion and contraction of the wires from variations of temperature. As the wires are not perfectly uni- form, they rub against the insula- tors, snaking a slight noise, which is amplified by the post acting as a sounding -board. Another investi- gator is sure that the sounds are due to electric weaves, but he fails to explain how ordinary telegraph wires should bo able to serve as wave detectors and in what way the electric waves are transformed into sound waves. Tho other theory seems more probaole, Some curious stories are told of this telegraph wire music. In Siberia the bears think thatit is tho buzzing of bees, and would tear down the poles to look for honey if the constructors did not pile great stones about them to prevent this. In France, on the south side of the forest of Fontainebleau, the tele- graph sounds are regarded as presaging rain. This is because the south wind in this region brings rain, and the forest shuts off the north wind. In some districts the noise is popularly supposed to bo due to the passage of messages, but it is hardly necessary to say that, there is no evidence to support this view. A LAND OF OLD TINS. Discarded Cans are .Appreciated in Hayti. An interesting sight into social and commercial conditions in Hay- ti. the black republic, is contained in a report from the British Con- sul -General, issued by the Foreign Office. Old tins are in great demand throughout the island. Condensed milk, preserve. butter, and lard tins form practically the bulk of tee cooking and table utensils used throughout the island. Cooking is done in five -pound butter and lard tins. Condensed milk tins become drinking mugs by the simple addi- tion of a band which serves as a handle.
