FIREWATER'S SHOT.
IN two weeks after his arrival from
the North, Fran ie Mason was as much
athome on Jupiter Inlet and the St.
Johns River as anybody in South
Florida. In facie Frank and his
mother lived on the river, for near the
shore of the lagoon, under the the tall
paha trees, what had once leen a flat-
bottomed river steamer was drawn up,
and this was his home. Its state rooms
were °coupled by the citizens of Orangeville,
and the old steamer was by long odds the
bestithotel in town.
But Frank was much more interested in
a shallow skiff manned by au old Seminole
Indian, which communicated with the
low, sandy beaoh. The guests of the float-
ing hotel had but to call to "Old Fire-
water'" at any hour of the day or night),
and a moment later the SWiSit of his paddle
would be heard and the skiff come shooting
out from a little creek.
Firewater seldom condescended to speak.
Once when Frank asked him to teach him
how to swim, the old Indian's eyes glis-
tened; without a word he ungirdied leim-
self and sprang into the water of the lagoon.
Frank was soon in a condition to follow,
and after that the old Indian and the young
New Yorker sported together in the water
daily until Frank became almost as expert
ai
his teacher.
Sometimes they crossed the bar, and,
anchoring the skiff, svesen out into the warm
water of the ocean; but at such times the
old Indian Would keep his piercing black
eyes strained on the distance, constantly
turning them in every direction.
One day when an odor of watermelon
suddenly floated on the breeze he turned
swiftly with a grunt and struckout for the
shore.
" What is the matter?" asked Frank,
but in lien of a reply Firewater pointed
over his shoulder, and Frank saw with a
shudder the tips of a shark's fins not far
• behind.
Safe in the skiff, Firewater broke silence
•for almost the first time in their acquaint -
same. He warned the young Northerner
never to go in swimming alone, especially
upon the ocean side of the reef.
Winter merged into early spring. As the
floating hotel became more and more
crowded with transient guests, Firewater
and his skiff were kept busy from morning
to night.
At first Frank was disconsolate, but with
the assistance of the old Indian, who had a
,.
few minutes to spare met deer sunrise, he
built a very creditable boat of his own.
One warm spring afternoon he found
himself drifting idly toward the inlet. The
sky was clear and the water tempting, and
his preceptor's advice was forgotten.
He anchored his boat, stripped, and
presently was paddling and *lashing about
in the delicious water.
A hundred yards away a long, low sand-
bank arose from the water. It was low
tide and a foot or two of the dry sand bar
lay above the gentle breakers. Toward this
Flank naade his way, and while yet quite a
distance from it his feet touched the shallow
bottom of the lagoon.
Once upon the sand bank an irresistible
desire to swim out among the breakers at
the other side came over the boy.
Suddenly the young aveimmer drew a
long breath, sniffed the breeze again, then
his face blannhed. A faint odor of water-
melon seemed to him to float upon the
waves. With a sudden energy he tinted
toward shore and swam for it with all his
Might.
When he was almost upon the and, with
a great effort he turned to look over his
shoulder. It was as he thought. He caught
eight of a knife-like fin cutting the water
nob many yards behind.
Exerting every muscle for 9, final struggle
he reached for the shore, sod with a su-
preme effort he clambered out of the water.
As he lay exhausted a sharp snap and a
commotion in the breakers not a foot dire
tent told him he had escaped none too :loon.
Still panting, Frank otood up on the
smooth, hard sea sand. The monster shark
was teenrandng back and forth. It never
for an indent took its narrow little eyes
from the naked figure of its postponed
Upper.
•Frank entuldered and smiled as he thought
how he could cheat his sharkship by simply
wading out to his boat.
Bat that smile soon changed to an ex
-
premien of horror, for scareely had he
taken a step down into the hallow water
on the other side of the bank, when an old
log of driftwood suddenly acquired motion
and cut through the water toward him.
" Alligators, ' gaped the poor boy, as his
• knees smote together, and quickly running
back he stood once more on the sand bank.
But the acsly monster carne on ; ab Frank
edged away the whole long,brown lengbh of
hideont! value elowly followed until it
dragged itself completely out of the water
and waddled forward upon the sand. '
Frank had had euffiment experience in
Intinting alligators with Firewater to know
that he could keep out of ito way on "dry
land," but the title was tieing, and though
t meant only a difference a two feetOven
that would submerge the little Wend et
least 12 inchee—and then it would be only
a question of ghee* or alligator.
An hour passed, and now the alligator
deemed content to lie :till end follow his
victim with his-wielsed little eye e ; nor wan
the petience of the shark et ell exhausted,
and as the island grew smaller Mid anialler
tbey both drew nearer and nearer.
In vain the poor littleNortherner celled
for holp. There wes no one in sight. As
he looked for the last time Ibe thought he
Pew a small epeole on the • weter 9f the
lagoen, but the setting sun blinded hie eyes
end he tiered not hope. '
Suddenly the heavy wetly molester turned
@lightly and moved forward. The specie
wan no narrow now that the long, lath -like
tail dipped into the water of the ooean, and
as it touched the memo there wee a apIash
end a sone wildsisreggle.
The indissevithinating tharle, hungry for
hie euppete had (seized upon the alligator's
tail. The great sawnthe teeth sunk through
the thick armored hide, and with a bark
like a dog the enraged reptile turned and
elid off into the water.
For several minutes the breakers were
dyed red with blood. Never for a moment
nid the tonecions shark releario his grip,
until with a mighty contortion the agile
alligator bent Ma body double and oeized
the soft etomaoh of the ohark in his immense
jaws.
Then the struggle began in earnest, and
the two strange creatures rolled over and
over in the ocean, but nothing distinct
oould Frank e eee through the churning
foam.
At last all was quiet. Then a heavy body
rose to the surfaoe, and, the angry head,of
the victorione alligator turned in every
climatical in search of his victim. Suddenly
the two bright little eyes lit upon the
trembling boy, who now stood ankle deep
in water, paralyzed with fear and unable
to move.
There was a canok movement, and bhe
glittering eyes and ugly snout of the saurian
seemed to fairly cleave the water. Frank
defied his eyes and fell forward, for his
trembling legs refused longer to support his
body.
There WAS a einging emend in his ears—.
then a roar, a bright flash, and he became
unconscious.
When Frank next opened his eyes
Firewater was bending over him, rifle in
hand.
" Ough 1" eaid the old. Seminole, as he
lifted the limp and helpless boy into his
skiff to wait while he removed the skin
from the alligator.
" White boy min' Injun nex' time,"
was all Firewater ever said to hia young
friend. Nor would he explain how he
happened to be on hand just at the right
• moment.
Frank has never forgotten the old Indian;
and now every year, when epringapproaches,
a big consignment of ammunition finds its
way to Indian River that makes a pair of
very black eyes sparkle with true hunts-
man's delight.
lindireet Cost of the Silver Purchases.
The New York Herald manes the start-
ling stolen:lent that the United Stains would
be better off if every ounce of silver bought
ander the Sherman law had been thrown
into the Atlantic' instead of being stored,
with notee nettedagainst it. About one
hundred and thtrty million dollars has been
paid for bullion during the period the law
has been in operation—nearly three Team—
but the consequent depreciation in the value
of securities, property and produots runs
Into thousands of millions. The shrinkage
in value of iteourlties listed on the New
York Stook Exchange alone during the
past twelve months is more than five
times as much as the total cost of all the
silver bought under the operation of this
crazy law.

Virginia's First Settlers.
Virginia was first settled by the English
temporarily. The firet permanent settle-
ment was made by them in 1607, under the
auspices of London merchants, who that
year sent five ships with a colony to settle
on Roanoke Island. Storms drove them
into the entrance to Chesapeake Bay, where
they ascended the Powhatan River 50 miles,
landed and built a hamlet, which they
called 'Jamestown. The stream they named
James River, both in compliment to their
King.

of large choral bodiee in fact, such as could
not possibly be produced if we are to rely
entirely upon boys' voices for the per-
formance of the upper sfratum of the vocal

"The universal employment of all our
menial resources, with, be it added, the
discreet addition of orchestral accompani-

types of worship revealed to us as of the
Jewish Church in the Old Testa-

revelations of beauty and strergth in

not been realized in the Christian Church.

when 1 happened to be in that neighbor-

to get there to stay over Sunday. I found
it an exoellent place, and Sunday afternoon
as I sat in the shade of the porch the widow
found me.

"Bub you eaglet to get married," I
argued. "You are still hole and hearty,
and a husband would be a good deal of com-
fort to you."
" Ha inought, an' then again he

"I've tried two, an' neither one suited."
"'What was wrong with them?"
"Well, Jinkins, he wuz the fusb ono," she
said, in a reminiscent tone; "he wuz a

Ef he hadn't been a drinkin' man I could

various instruments, and performing mune
which required artistic powers and speoial
trebling. Here we see the prototype of
such grand service music as the authorities
of our cathedrals and great churches are
gradually learning to give us.
"The records of the early and purest days
of the Christian church reveal no foolish re-
striotions against the employment of
women's voices. We get at the secret of
the restrictive policy in the formation of
church choirs later on. An edict: of one of
the Popes forbidding the use of female
voices in the singing of the canon of the
MOM was
THE PRIMARY STUMBLING -BLOCK
and the prima facie starting point of the
modern—for it is only modern viewing the
queation through tne long ocineectitive ages
of the Jewish and Chriatian churches—re-
strioted choir of men and boys."
"An inepeotion of the best schools of
church and sacred music will ehow the
folly of our modern neglect of the employ-
ment of female voices m the church.
"Ib is no argument to point out that a
large amount of chute& music has been pro-
duced both in the Roman and Anglican
communities which may be fairly rendered

• GREAT MASTERS OF ART
Ib is manifest that the higbest class of mare
EatlE/10 calla for the elasticity, softness and
expression of female voices ; just as indeed
the simplest hymn -tune gains from similar
tone qualities. Chernbini, • writing his
" Requiem " in D minor for Rouen
Cathedral, preferred to have no soprano
parts rather than to have his Mink sung by
boyenio be confined his vocal score to tenors
and beams."
It is neoeseary, then, if we would have
good music that we should supplement our
ordinary parochial choirs with the useful,
the softening and permeating tones of
women's voices. Where clergymen vvill at
present recognize no voices suitable for the
Music of the Sanctuary, save those of
ROUGE UNCULTURED BOYS,
a little beneficent common eons° in the way
of the infurden of a few female voices would
save their congregations much musical
raisery. No choir can afford to be 'without
musical voices when engaged in the per-
formance of expreseive music. And surely
alt church mimic should be expressive. We
are in this matter suffering from a grave,
restrictive mistake, based upon an edict of
doubtful 'authority and of no great

A laughable little etory is told of a
woman in the witness -lox of a French
court. She was asked her age, 15nd answered
that she wee 30 years old. But," said the
Magiatrate, "did you not tell me you were
30 when you appeared before me two years
ago ?" "I think is is very likely," she replied
eimilingly aoknowledging her falsehood,
and not at all abashed; "1 am not one of
those women who say one thing to -day and
another thing to -morrow."
Whole Chances.
" If I had half a (emcee I'd raarry," re-
marked a hottdsomis millieueire bachelor to
a good-looking girl.
"Bub you never will have," she asserted.
"Why not ?" he asked, somewhat taken
aback.
" Because," and she smiled in a way that
• fascinated him, "every °hence in your tease
in a whole one."
It was the merest ohe,nce she took, but it
netted her a million and e. man.
Toothache.
Web a bit of absorbent cotton with oil of
cloves and place ib in the tooth and then
keep the mouth clod. Toothache is sonee-
thnes due to cold, and six grains of quinine
(for an adult) for several days will often
cure it. A hot water bottle or bag placed
against the face for a while often is curative.
A. piece of ice rubbed along the gum near
the aching tooth is another effectual reniudy.
The nerve supply to the face is very gener-
one, and the teeth are by means of their
own nerves in communication with other
parts of the head. Any marked nerve dis-
turbance may be sufficient to MIN tooth-
ache. Rest and a nerve sedative—a cup of
tea and a nap—will then 613er the toothache
