A good many years back when I was
an able young seaman on board 'the
barque Raleigh, I had an experience
that was both exciting and strange.
Our vessel was loaded with coal, and
bound from Philadelphia to Australia.
The run down to the equator had been
A slow but pleasant one, owing not only
to the mild, beautiful weather that we
had held right along since sailing, but
because the Raleigh had what was
something of a novelty in 'those days,
in the way of au excellent and kindly
set of officers. We were what is called
a "happy sal
After res about the parallel of
20 degrees uth we got a stress of
weather for over a week, in which
�- several of our sails were blown away
and a number of light spars were
wrecked. All our live stock of pigs
and chickens were drowned, owing to
the flooding of our decks, for we sat
very low in the water.
On the day that we ran Into pleasant
'weather again we started to take off
the hatches, when a gassy, choking
smell poured out of the opening. The
cargo was on fire. There was only one
thing to do—to replace the hatches,
bore holes through them, and pump
streams of water into the hold, en-
deavoring to drown the fire before it
gained additional headway. Alt hands
were called to the task, and for twenty-
four hours we worked for our lives, the

was no time for indulging in grief over
the loss of my shipmates—there
was

time only for work, and very
that, if I was to save my life. Tearing
off my cap, 1 used it as a bailer and
worked desperately.
At last another mornipg came, and
with It the gale broke, but I allowed
the boat to remain hove to during that
day and following night, so as to give
the seas a chance to go gown.
The second morning dawned clear
and beautiful, with the ocean subs!ried
into long even swells, and the wind
settled down again to the regular
trades. Most of the provisions had
been ruined by the sea that filled the
boat but I found two water -tight cans

I had opened one of the. tins, and
was sitting on a thwart making a
breakfast from its contents, when, Hap-
pening to look astern, I made out, not
more than a mile away, the wreck or a
small vessel. Everything about the
foremast was standing below the cross -
trees, but only the splintered stumps
of her main and feezi zen masts were
to be seen above the deck, while the
spare themselves, together with their
gear, were hanging in a wild confusion
over the side.

mast, set the sail, and bore down upon
the wreck. As I drew close to her I

THE TWO INNS.
I was returning from Nimes one af-
ternoon in July. The heat was terrible.
As far as the eye could see the white
turning road wound its way between
gardens of olive trees and dwarf oaks
under a great, flat, silver sun which
filled all the sky.
There was not a spot of shade, not a
breath of air. There was nothing but
i he vibrating heat and the shrill cry cf
the grasshoppers—a foolish, deafening
music to quick time, which seemed the
expression of the great luminous vibra-
tion. I had been walking in this open
desert two hours when a cluster c>f
white houses rose suddenly out of the
dusty road before me.
it was what is called the relay of St.
Vincent. There was five or six houses
a ith long, low, red roofed barns, an
empty watering trough in a clump of
straggling fig trees, and at the end of
the place stood two large Inns looking
at each other from oppo.eits Bides of
the road.
There was something striking about
these Inns.
One was a large new building, full of
life and noise. And the doors were open.
The diligence was standing in front.
from which they were unhitching the
steaming horses. The passengers were
climbing down to get a hasty drink in
the short shadow thrown by the walls.
"-he court was filled with mules, load-
ed carts and the drivers lying under
the sheds waiting fresh relays.
From the Inside could be heard cries,
caths, the pounding of fists on the
tables, the exploding corks of lemonad•�
bottles, the clinking of glasses, the
noise of billiards, and dominating all
this tumult a Joyous, ringing voice
sir:ging in a manner calculated to
make the glasses tremble.
The inn opposite, on the contrary,
was as silent as if abandoned. Weeds
grew about the entrance; the blinds
w( re broken; upon the doors a small
branch of withered holly hung like an
old plume: the doorsteps were propped
up with stones from the road. All was
sr, poor, so pitiful, that it seemed a real
charity to stop there for a glass of
sc mething.
I entered. There was a long, deserted,
mournful room, whteh the dazzling
light from three great eurtainlesa win-
dows made more deserted and mourn-
ful still.
Some limping tables, on which were
srattered a few dusty glasses: a yellow

Cured by Scott's Sarsaparilla.
A. H. Christiansen, writing from the
Clifton House, Niagara Falls, says: "I
owe you more than I can ever pay. For
ten years I suffered the tortures of the
damned with rheumatism. Father had
it before me, and I believe it is an here-
ditary disease. My knee joints would
g.et inflamed and if I was out in any
weather " I was sure to be laid up,
which to a travelling man is a calamity.
In a score of Canadian towns local doctors
treated me, some giving relief, others
none, I read that Sarsaparilla was a
rheumatic cure, and i asked a druggist
for "a bottle of the best Sarsaparilla on
the market." He gave me Scott's, re-
marking that it was an improvement on
'all others, and that he could honestly
recommend it. 1 have taken four bottles,
and am as free from pain as a man can
hope to be. I was out in araipstorm two
days age and net'er felt a twifigge. As I
said before ko gcott's Sarsaparilla I owe
more than I can ever repay.'
