Regarded by Sailors to be Birds of Good Omen—Public Reprimand. How timidly on my first voyage did I ask the mate, a big, gruff Norwegian, what those pretty little birds were. How could I tel lthat I was committing a seri- ous breach of etiquette? He replied very gruffly and unintelligibly, "Stern Putter." I ventured to say "What?" and was at encs bidden to "shut up" and look out for myself, as if he had been insulted by my not understanding him. I took the hint and asked no 'more, nor did I learn that "these little birds" were stormy petrels for a very long time, although like other sailors, I of course knew them as Mother Carey's chickens.. But they were always a source of neverending de- light to me while at sea, and of wonder too, for I could not hely feeling that they load indeed solved the great problem of perpetual motion; never needing or de- siring rest apparently, and always stick- ing to the ship to which they had taken a fancy in calm or storm, whether fly- ing before a gale or stagnation through many days of wix ilessnesss, as was com- mon with the old sailing ships. I was grad to see how the sailors generally re- garded them as birds of good omen, and in nowise to be meddled with. Indeed, in my day not a few seamen really looked upon them as the spirits of departed sailors, who never weary, flitted over the bright pure sea eternally. But then many seamen thus regarded the albatros also, yet I never saw the same sincere reluctance to do them harm as was always evinced towards the stormy petrel. Once I saw a man, a sec- ond mate, wearying for something to do,catch oneof h the prettycreatures b mans of a thickly -tarred roping twine attached to a bait of pork, which was hooked on to the end of a fishing line. hrhe little bird, fluttering over the meat and continually touching the water with its feet, as is its wont, got them entangl- ed in the sticky twine ,and was hauled In, all beclaggled. its bright vivacity gone and presently lay panting and helpless in the grip of its silly tormentor. Fortu- nately the captain, coming on deck at an opportune moment, saw the shameful deed, and gave that second mate such a wigging as I hope diel him good. It was the only time in my life that I ever re- joiced to sec a subordinate on board ship receive a public reprimand.—F. 1'. Bullen, in New York Evening Post. JUSTIFIED II1 THAT HE SAYS Why J. 3. Perkins Owes his Life to Dodd's Kidney Pills. Doctor Had Given Him Up and He Was Hopeless and Destitute Before the Great Canadian l.ianey Remedy Put Him on His Feet. Tyndall, Man., Aug. 8.—(Special).— When .—(Special).— When a man has kidney disease; when the doctor has given him up; when that man takes Dodd's Kidney Pills, begins at once to recover and is soon a well man, that ,man is surely in a position to say that Dodd's Kidney Pills saved his life. That is the experience of Mr. J. J. Per- kins, of this place. Speaking of his case Mr. Perkins says : "For two years I was troubled with my kidneys and at last became so bad that the doctor who had been attending me gave me up and said I was incur- able. "1 continued to grow worse. I was unable to work and was becoming des- titute when to please a friend I tried. Dodd's Kidney Pills.

The London Mail gives this spirited description of the nihilist : At the edge of the pavement he stands in the uniform of a Russian university student, smoking a yellow cigarette, and the carriages ply past him throughout the hour of promenade. Princesses, men in the uniform of du- cal regiments, the splendor and wealth of the capital of Russia file along as though for his inspection, and his is the eye that weighs and appraises them all by the standard of the poor. To Iook at him one would say the fire of nihilism ran in a foul channel. He is meager, mean -chested, little of stature, with low brows and a wide, loose mouth, a representative 'of -a poor type, lacking in brawn and beauty, springing weedily from a profitless stock. There is some - :thing vapid in the bloodless pouch of the cheek and the bonelessness of the jaw; nothing finishes with a click; the con- tours are not definite. Ah 1 but you have ,tot seen the eye— the eye that burns far back in the sock- et, the poet's eye that sees Death ride by on a white horse among the careless guardsmen and ladies, the eye that is dull to the material and kindly only to visions. In the lurking frenzy that inhabits there, like a genius or an obsession, there is that which redeems the whole un - loveliness of the gross face and body, as though the soul ran riot while the flesh obeyed its laws. Madmen have such eyes, and great artists, and the nihilist must needs be of the essence of both. He is the pro- duct of a need and an, inspiration, the great need of the stricken Russian poor, the inspiration of new knowledge and freedom seen from afar. Minard's Linament Cures Garget in Cows. THE THIRD EYE. A horse, a bat, a mole, a monkey, a seal, all have a trace of the third eye, and when we put a finger on the "soft spot" of the head of a tiny baby, we realize the wonderful import of it—that the softness is due to a near approach of this same third eye to the surface, striving as it has done •in so many lower creatures to push its poor, im- perfect lens to where the light can act upon it. But the old ways have given place to new, and the child's blue eyes look out at you and the world and see all that it necessary for its life and needs. We can hardly imagine anything more terrible than the loss of our eyesight, and yet there are some creatures which have found • life more pleasant in the darkness of caves and underground tunnels, or to roam only at night, when their eyes are useless, and by the lack of use these organs have degenerated to mere specks. and in some cases the skin has grown completely over them. Thus we find blind fishes and lizards in dark caves, and blind. ants and moles all but blind in their dark subterranean homes. Curtain bats, too, have but tiny dots for eyes, and depend chiefly upon their acute hearing and some sense by which they can feel the vibrations in the air. Snakes have but poor eyesight, and light fish have no eyelids. Their eyes are covered with a thin, transparent scale, which is even open, in sun and shade, at noon and midnight, in an awful, never -winking stare. 'We cannot imagine how sleep can ever come to such creatures.—C. W. Beebe, in N. Y. Evening Post. ASHES AS ASSETS. Makers of feeble jokes are prone to remark that a cigar or a pipe of tobacco only ends in smoke, They forget the ash, however; and, calculating that the con- sumption of tobacco is about 40,000 tons a year in the United. Kingdom, it is es- timated that about 8,000 tons of ash are annually committed to the winds, or dis- sipated in some way or other. • Remembering that a ton of tobacco leaf would yield four hundredweight of ash, which represents valuable mineral constituents withdraws from the •soil, which have to be replaeed by abundant manuring, the Lancet points out .that there would seem to be a fortune in store for the individual who could de- vise a successful means for the collection of tobacco ash, to be 'restored to the soil from which it was taken. Ash ought of be a valuable asset in the economy of things. Specimen of Marked Contrast. (Cincinnati Commercial -Tribune.) Little Edith—Mother, what's a con- trast ?

The feats of which the Japanese'rie4t- shawmen lire capable ere almost incredi- ble, I remember sone years ago being driven ashore in the Island Sea during a to phc on. It was far beyond the treaty limits which then existed, and foreigners were not allowed to travel outside those limits without specie passports. But the mayor of the neatest fishing village was kindness itself. Ile promised to sup- ply the best rickshavmen which the neighborhood could preduce,.so as to take us to a railway station some forty miles away. And he kept hit word, for the dis- tance was covered in hs sthan six hours, including a halt for refreshments. Each rickshaw was drawn. by two men, tan- dem wise, the usual fashion when long distances have to be covered. The lead- ers in each went through the whole dis- tance, while the wheelers, so to speak, were changed half way. The road was over a great part of the distance little better than a mountain track, and it was raining most of the time, but there was never a break in our progress ex- cept to alloy the cpolies to take off or put on their clothes. They prefer run- ning in nothing but a loincloth, and do so whenever th ey get safely afely beyond the eye of the police, who have orders strict- ly to administer the law against nudity. The fare paid for this prolonged jour- ney was, if I rein ember rightly, about three shillings fir each rickshaw, the extra shilling being a gratuity thrown in for good service. I know that it purchased so many blessings on my hon- orable head as cannot yet be quite ex- hausted. And having made our farewells at the railway station the coolies start- ed back at once for their village,—Loudon Mail. Minard's Linament :Cures Colds, etc, Minority Shareholders' Rights. To the minority stockholders of the Hamilton, Grimsby & Beamsville Elec- tric Railway, who Pave objected to the method of the transfer of that concern to Grand Trunk control, a paragraph from the Wall Street Journal will be of interest. It deals with the rights, of min- ority shareholders. The paragraph in question reads: The decision by Justice Greenbaum, of the Supreme Court in the suit of Walter S. Johnston against the Norfolk & Southern Railway contained the fol- lowing clause: "The courts will not enjoin the carry- ing out of a business policy conceived in good faith, even though it may be probable that such policy Will prove to have been unwise, but, if it is apparenn that the scheme of the majority of the stockholders is founded upon a plan to oppress the minority of the stockholders or to operate as a fraud upon their, and not to further the interests of the corporation, but to accomplish unfair advantages and benefits to those in con- trol, then the Court of Equity will promptly use its power to restrain the accomplishment of such iniquity." This decision was notable as being an action by a court of law to prevent the carrying out of a business policy adopt- ed by Hien in control of a corporation, but which was opposed by 4 minority of the stockholders. * * * The only ef- fective protection for minority stock- holders is in publicity.

John Morley took him to take some weeks ago for lax attendance in the House of Commons. Mr. Balfour de- aied that there was any disinclination on his part to attend the sittings or to lis- ten to the debates. On the contrary, he declared, some of the moments .of great- est repose that he could snatch from a somewhat strenuous and laborious offi- cial career were those spent on the trea- sury bench listening to his oratorical friends.

The principle of the modern engineer s to successively pass steam through as any contrivances as possible in order o extract the greatest amount of heat. there are many plants of modern con- ttruction, the writer having the refrig- trating machinery of a large brewery in Hind where the capacity a p y h s been dou- iled by machinery which utilizes the exhaust steam of the old-time refriger- ating engines. The heating plant of the yew Savoy hotel, on the Strand, London, s an example of what can be done in :his direction. The steam exhaust of the ;ngines furnishing power for the electric ighting and elevator service is made to to all the heating of the building, this >eing the usual practice nowadays in of - ice buildings. The air circulated by the ower fans in winter time is also heated y being'made to pass over steam coils :ontaining the exhaust steam. Most of :he cooking is also done by means of ;xhaust steam, including grillers, hot :losets, coffee urns, hot milk urns and ike the paradoxical satyr of the first eader, in addition to doing all the heat - ng of the establishment, the waste team is also utilized in the refrigerat- ng plant.
