I T PAYS
TO ADVEitTISE
IN THE
The brig Dolphin of Nantucket,
owned and commanded by Captain
Abner Bideford, with his wife Mary
on board, was making a voyage from
Boston to Cadiz. The year was 1784.
There had been peace with England
for a year, but in granting the colonies
their independence the mother country
bad insisted on the right to search any
American vessel in any water and at
any time. The pretense was that Eng-
lish subjects were continually desert-
ing his majesty's service and shipping
cin American craft. It was therefore
Captain Bideford's plan to keep clear
of any armed vessel flying the British
flag. He bad a crew of Nantucket
men, every one of whom had served in
the cause of liberty, and he began
worrying about what might happen
before he was 200 miles at sea, His
wife saw that he was disturbed, and
she said:
"Abner, when we left home I do be-
lieve that I forgot to fasten the wood
shed door."
"What's that to worry about?" he
asked.
"Jest as much as your fear that we
may be overhauled. Let's wait until
we seea Britisher bearin'
down on us
before we git dizzy headed."
But Captain Abner had just made his
noon observation when a sail was
sighted to the eastward. There was a
feeling from the first that she was a
British man-of-war. Half an hour
later all doubts were dispelled. The
stranger was not only a man-of-war,
but he had changed his course to meet
that of the brig.
"I told you so!" exclaimed Captain
Abner to Mary as he pointed to the die -
taut sail.
"Yes, Abner; you did," she replied.
"And now he'll board and press two
or three of the men, even though we
haven't got a half a one to spare."
"Waal, it's no use to give up till we
have to. I should keep right on and
pay no 'tention to him."
There had been a stiff breeze all the
forenoon, and the few clouds driving
overhead had a squally look to them.
Captain Bideford's first idea bad been
to run away; but, realizing this would
provoke curiosity and pursuit, he de-
cided to stand on. As the craft neared
each other the man-of-war kept all
fast and seemed about to pass on with-
out notice. Of a sudden, however, he
fired a solid shot across the brig's bows
and hove into the wind.
"That means heave to and be board-
ed!" shouted Captain Abner as he pre-
pared to give the necessary orders.
"lint don't you do anything of the
kind!" protested Mary. "IIe's no more
right to stop you than you have to stop
him."
"By Josh, then, but he'll blow us out
of water!"
"Let him blow! Abner, you're no
pan if you give up licked to a Brit-
isher who has bin beaten in war!"
The Dolphin held her course. The
British captain brought his big craft
around in pursuit and opened fire with
his bow chasers. When his shot began
falling about the brig, Captain Abner
and the crew were for bringing her to,
but Mary shut her teeth together and
grimly said:
"Abner, if you let that Britisher board
you before he shoots away a mast I'll
not go back home to hear you called a
coward."
So the Dolphin held on, though be-
fore she got out of range the shot
splashed water on her deck. She
would have eventually made a clear
escape but for loss of the breeze. When
it died completely out, the two craft
were three miles apart. The man-of-
war promptly lowered a boat with an
officer and six armed men to pay a
visit.
"Waal, you see that boat comin', I
s'pose," said Captain Abner as Mary
stood beside him. "If you hadn't inter-
fered, I might have got off 'without
anybody bein' taken."
"If I hadn't interfered, you'd have
gone back to Nantucket to be sneered
at by everybody in town. Jest you
watch and wait. It looks bad, but
sunthin' may turn up."
The boat came on with long, regular
strokes and in half an hour was along-
side the brig. The lieutenant in charge
came over the rail, followed by three
marines with loaded muskets. He had
hardly touched the deck when ho sang
out:
"You impudent blackguard of a Yan-
kee, but why didn't you heave to when
we fired a gun?"
"Because we didn't feel like it!" an-
swered Captain Bideford, who had all
his coolness now that the crisis was at
band.
"What! What! More impudences
My turkeycock, but you need a lesson
In manners. As a beginning I order
you to douse that rag!"
"I shall do nothin' of the kind. II
you want to make a prize of this brig,
go ahead and haul down her flag. If
hot, then take yourself off:"
"Oh, you won't muster your crew,
eh?" sneered the lieutenant. "It is as
we suspected—too many British de-
serters aboard! Well, I'll soon weed
them out without your help. Here,
you Yankees, muster at the mast!"
Had the crew been backed by the
captain they would have refused to
line up on the deck; hut, receiving he
encouragement from him to resist, they
shambled aft to the mainmast and got
In line. They wire six able seamen,
the mate and cook not being included
In the miter. The lieutenant !m -
Vested five out of the six.
It Sams an outrage W mato his blocil
boil yet ad 'e Captain Capt hi TIl(teford realized
that be was huiplecs. 'There was force
enough behind the officer to back him
up in wbutev,rr he wished to do. The
men looked appealingly at the captain,
but he turned away in sorrow and de.
spair,
For the last ten minutes Mary Bide.
ford• had been watching the sky and
the British man-of-war and had been
seemingly oblivious of what was going
on beside her: She now turned to the
captain and quietly said:
"Jest sort of carelessly squint Into
the southeast and tell me what you
see."
"By gosh, but it's an oxeye squall
or I'm no sailor!" whispered Abner
after a look.
"That's what it is, and they see it
aboard the frigate and have run up a
flag of warlike. The men in the boat
can't see it, as they are on the wrong
side, slid the officer is too busy with
his conceit. If we can hold our men
ten minits, we can save them. You go
and talk to the mate and post him up,
and I'll have a few words with the of-
ficer."
The officer was not averse to an ar-
gument While waiting, and Mary took
care to keep him interested by allow-
ing him to do most of the talking. She
was seeking to gain nine or ten min-
utes, and she succeeded. Then three
things happened all at once—the im-
pressed men appeared on deck with
their bags, the frigate fired a gun, and
the squall came roaring down like an
angry lion.
It was a miracle that the brig was
not dismasted at once. She went over
to leeward until her yardarms dipped,
and only the loss of a portion of her
sails saved her from foundering out of
hand. In ten seconds daylight was
turned into semidarkness, and there
were shouts of terror and despair from
every soul on deck. It seemed a long
five minutes, before the Dolphin lifted
herself out of the foam and went fly-
ing away before the wind, and as she
started the boat which had been along-
side with the three marines and four
sailors in it was seen floating bottom
up.
When the brig 'had been made snug.
Captain Bideford coked about him.
Mary was just freeing herself from the
lashings which bad saved her from go-
ing overboard, and not a man of the
crew had been lost. What seemed like
retribution had overtaken .the others,
however. The three marines had dis-
appeared, and the lieutenant lay among
the spare spars in an unconscious con-
dition. No one looked for the man-of-
war. While the fury of the squall
was spent after half an hour, It was
followed by a breeze which ran the
Dolphin below the horizon.
"Weal, Alaner," said Mary when
things had been straightened out and
the unconscious officer had been re-
moved to the cabin for treatment,
"mebbe you'll believe in Providence
after this."
Early Prejudice ce A;ni
oat Potatoes.
The way of the potato was said to
have been barred by the prejudice that
it was never mentioned in the Bible.
In the Lothians it came in about
1740, the year of the famine. from Ire-
land, but was confined to gardens till
about 1754, when it was planted in
fields about Aberlady. By the close of
tile century it was a general article of
diet.
Ramsay says that George Henderson
went about 1750 for a bag of potatoes
to Kilsyth, where the Irish method of
field culture had lately been tried, and
introduced the potato into Mentieth,
where a few had been known, but only
in kale yards. Tile old folks, however,
did not take kindly to the new food.
Old George Bachop, one of tire Ochter-
tyre tenants, when told by his wife
that she had potatoes for supper said:
"Tattles! Tattles! I never supped on
them a' my days and winna the nicht.
Gie them to the herd and get me
sowens." It is significant that Burns,
who sang the praises of kale and por-
ridge and haggis, should have nothing
to say of the potato. — Blackwood's
Magazine.
Pantomime Performances,
Most pantomine characters were
originally borrowed from the Italians.
The first real English pantomime was
produced at a theater in Lincoln's Inn
Fields in 1720. It was called "Harle-
quin Executed," and its subtitle was
"A New Italian Comic Scene Between
a Scaramouche, a Harlequin, a Coun-
try Farmer, His Wife and Others."
The performance was very successful.
About the middle of the eighteenth
century the character of pantomime
performances was completely altered,
chiefly because of the genius of the
famous Grimaldi, who made the clown
the first figure in the pantomime. Gri-
maldi first appeared at Sadler's Wells
theater, where he played the part of a
monkey. Ile was actively engaged on
the stage for forty-nine years, and at
the close of his career he took a bene-
fit at Drury Lane theater, which real-
ized nearly £000. He also received £100
from the Drury Lane fund. This was
in June, 1828. He died in 1837 and was
burled in the churchyard of St. James'
chapel, Pentonville hill,
A Sailor'. Compliment.
Through all the years they were to-
gether Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont
lived for her husband, as before her
marriage she had lived for her father.
Her brilliant mind, her heart and her
hands were constantly busy in her hum -
band's service, and a gallant sailor's
compliment shows that her devotion
was widely recognized.
During the civil war, when Admiral
Porter had command Of the Federal
fleet on the Mississippi, his flagship
was the steamer Benton, named after
Mrs. Fremnont's father. The admiral
named the little tender of the flagship
ressie Benton Fremont, and he wrote
to Alrt. Fremont his explanation:

Muskoka Free Hospital for Consumptives
DIV" Not a single patient has ever been refused admittance
because of his or her poverty.
1: ROI1 THE T't'tdO\
—From Bishop of Selkirk, Caribou Crossing, Yukon: "Thio trifling
remittance ($10.00) herewith enclosed, is intended to express our
sympathy for the sufferers in other parts rather than imply a special
need for your institution here."
CONFEDERATiON EWE ASSOCLirfov
—J. K. Macdonald, Esq., Managing Director Confederation. Life
Association, in sending cheque for $500.00 from his Company, says :
b` I am pleased to be able to be the medium of helping oil so good a
work."
Funds Urgently Needed
The financial reports for the year just ending
show that to keep the doors of the Free Ilos-
pital for Consumptives open, maintaining the
number of patients for which aecoinmotlation
has been provided, not less than $25,000 is
required for the year now entered 'upon.
Since the Free Ilospital was opened (18 Illonths
ago) 224 patients have been received. The help
the institution has been to these people—.all
from the wage-earning and poorer ranks of life
,—canliot be estimated in huIllan language.
—Edward D. Heddon, Solina, Ont., on leaving the Preo Hospital,
writes: "I cannot speak too highly of the institution from which I
have received so much benefit. I can but tender my best thanks for
the kindness shown."
—Minnie Linklater, Hamilton, writes: "I have spent over nine months
at the Free Hospital for Consumptives. I believe I have been greatly
helped, and shall never hesitate to use my influence to further that
good cause."
There is no endowment, excepting the provision
made by three life insurance companies for six
beds for the current year. Only by the con-
tinued contributions of the Canadian public can
the work be inaintainetl.
Patient's are ace3pted from every part of the Do-
minion, and there have been in residence during
the past year patients from Prince Edward
