Weal getalong now- and knock up a few hundreds --a three -handed game," But Robert eximsed himself. He wee no hand with the cue, he said; be- sides, he had had a hard day in town clearing up his work. If his host didn't mind, he would watch the play while he finished his cigar; after that he'd turn !n. When, 'half an hour later, the sta halite? was shown to his room, he left Dartin end Haverton warming up to their game. He was reeling very sleepy; but, onceinhis room, he lit a ftesh cigar and sat in the: dark by the open window, thinking over and piecing together what he bad seen and heard since Darien met him at Barthestee station. He had Added no- thing tangible to -his stack of facte; but, now that he was watching for them, he noticed certain manners of speech, little idioms, whieh pointed -to Death) being rather a 'native of Lon- don that a Colonial.

Do you remember that game at the 'Asiatic' with Lieu- tenant Fenton?" The men laughed at the recollection. "I'm afraid, Eddie, that I don't take mule interest in the game now—don't need to. I'd rather have a hard at poker—and, by the way, don't call me Vivian." "All right, old man, I didn't think of playing cards, somehow." .Dartin lairgeted shortly. "I did, Eddie," he said; "but it seemed tee Weird altogether—you and I—and a Baxenter!' the speaker seemed to shudder as he spoke. There was Silence for a few mo- ments before Haverton answered.

(To be continued.) " The Impulse to Criticize. The habit of criticism is one that malty people—ana not only•those who are criticized—deprecate. There Is a fairly general impression that the per- son who criticizes is not capable of do- ing much else, 'and Una, as Ile le too lazy 04' inefficient to undertake active, constructive work, he resorts to criti- cism oE others in order to keep alive it Spark of self-respect Such an in- tolerant view or the critic may oc- castoually be warranted, but it Is more often uneensenable, says a writer in Youth's C.omparaon The Most search- ing criticism has nearly always been empplied by men who were:themselves producers or men of -action, Matthew Arnold's insight as 0 critic was prob- ably derived ie some measure from his own edveuturee into; poetry Roosevelt WAS as severe and sharp in CritICISM .as he was versatile and vigorous in action. - It is -true, -however, that a good deal of criticism proceeds from what may be culled the impatience of the amateur. Criticism ot that sort !should be uttered with discretion, and usually little will be lost it it is not uttered at all, A. consciousnesa or the imperfec- tions and short -comings or others is likely to be more profitable to a per- son if it rentable unexpressed. When criticism is not of a personal charac- ter the amateurialmelle of it is usually Prononec,ea, and if it does little harm it is' certain that it does little good.

In every ship's log and in all works of navigation a special paha is made of the "dead reckoning" on board ship, This really mean•s the calculation made of it ship's position by means of the compass and log, the that serving to point out the course she sails and the other the distance run From these tvvo reckonings the skilful captain, making proper allowances for the variatiose ot the compass, leeway, cur. rents, and so an, is enabled, without any observations ot the sun or stars, to ascertain the ship's position toler- ably well, But wby dead? The explanation liee in the fact that it was eat until the close of the eighteenth century that printed log books were supplied by the Admiralty, Before that officers wore compelled to Iceep a journal, on loiree sheets of paper, and the colunms, when introduced, had to be ruled by hand, The log of the Dreadnought, 107e, had twelve narrow columns on a page. Foe want at space, the column tor the ship's latitude, "deduced ream the reckoning," was headed "Desi. Latt." This abbreviation for "deduced" was corrupted into "Dead." "Deduce" is the only word which expresses cor- rectly the method of obtaiaing "dead reckoning." Fuel For 9,000 -Mile Voyage Costs Less Than Nothing. The object of ecan,omy In fuel con- sumpticn is, of course, reduction et cost, and whore this reductioneeis is little more then 100 per cent., it is safe to say that the econ'omy leas reached its limit. This has actually bean done, duo to the difference in oll values, in a motor ship trading between San Francisco and Stockholm, Sweden. The ship has a bunker capacity of 1,600 tans of feet all, which is enough to make the round trip, and also to sell SOO tons of the ail at Stockholm. The total cost of the oil at San ream else° was about $36,000, and as the SOO tons of all m Stockholm was worth about 038,000, the ship's fuel for the whole voyage from San Francisco to Stockholm and return cost something less than nothing, In truth the cost of the cil was a bonus 02 02000.

So let mothers give, now, "me tenons" eo their children on the'eu,bjeet, ft will be observed that the lessons airn at celtivating the &l -important quality of "presence ef mind," With eome that quality is a natural gif 1. Most, however, 'acquire it by being taught exactly what to do in an emergency. Knowing what should be done gives orte "presence of mind." A well - taught lessou is at once remembered. The mend is, literally, "present," the head is cool, the emergency is faced without flurry or panic. If a room is filled with srnoke, teach the lesson that the first thing to do is to keep, by kneeling or lying down, as close to the floor as possible. Explain that fresh ale may be found there ay breathed until rescue comes, lelany children, suffocated' to death, would he alive now if they had been taught that simple lessen, and made to prac- tice it. Many children—adults, too—have been found suffocated close to a shut window: As likely as not, they heal funkiest in it panic at the window - cath, failed to undo it, and so fell back, overcome. 'Phe lesson here is to show (1) how a catch is opened. Many children have no notion. Then (2) s,how them how a pane of bless in the window should be smashed. This, as being a quicker method of getting air, is important. Tell them that if the room is full of smoke, they should crawl along the floor, get the poker—one should be kept in every bed-room—and bit the pane hard with a stab motion. Shaw them how to do it, stopping, *of course, just short of an actual emu& Then explain that the smash would probably leave jagged pieces of glass at the sides, and that these must be quickly knocked out. They tnu,st not be left in, because—make this clear— a child putting its head through the window might get a fatal gash in the neck. In case there should be no poker, or it could not be reached, teach the alternative method. That consists h taking anything in the way of cloth- ing—make the "anything" clear— wrapping it round the right fist, and than banging the pane out. It will be a bottom pane, of course. Reiterate as to the danger of jagged pieces, and then teach the children that with their head through the win- dow they must scream lousily, so that the firerneh and spectators may know where they are. Older children, trying to do their best when- something catches on fire when mother is out, seize it, hold it before them, and rush to take it to the garden or yard. Teeth them that this makes a sleaught, and that the flames would blow back on them. Then show them that burning material should be held at arm's length behind them. Sacrifice an old duster to make this lesson clear. Finally, teach the children how to wrap a wet towel over their mouth and nose, and 'so pass through thick smoke to safety. In all bed -rooms, even if the children 'wash in the bath- room, there should be towels and water. A mother's duty, that. It will be found that children will learn the above lessons with zest, and just as "fire -drill" is frequently prac- ticed, so should the lessons be often rehearsed. Seasonable Recipes. Blackberry jam that is different from that usually made requires two quarts of blackberry juice to six pound's of apples (pared and sliced) and ono pound of trustiest loaf sugar. Cook slowly until the apples RTC tat and the mixture thickens, then pour into sterilized glasse,s and seal with paraffin.
