At least, that was how I reasoned it out. <All that I can say positively is that whereas I expected to be totally submerged I found that I could easily enough keep my head out of water. What air there was in the cabin doubtless helped to keep us afloat, confined as it was, and for a time-—it seemed a very long time—-we were tossed about, splashed and thrown down, as the boat rocked ond pitched, but we were not drowned.

“At first no one spoke. ‘he sitnation was too awful for words, and it seemed a: if we were all so shocked as to be mentall: stunned. I know I was for one, and if ou escape had depended on my thinking of means we would all have perished then and there. Fortunately the commodore grasped the situation, and, as we could talk and understand one another well enough, be told us his plan in a few words. It was simple, and it gave us at least a chance for life.

‘‘Somebody produced one in a moment. It was on a reel.

“The commodore was disposed to dis- pute this proposition, buat the lawyer spoke up sbarply: ‘Let bim go, commodore,’ he said. ‘It’s a forlorn haope at best, and he’s far and away thé best swimmer.’ So it was settled, and in another moment the broker had disappeared.

“legs In tne Metropolis,

It is customary to hoist the national flag daily from sunrise to sunset, but in large cities there are many flags, or more properly speaking burgees, that are hoist- ed only when the wind is in certain direc- tions, so that the wind will blow them out over the street in front of the building on which they are hoisted. These are big flags, some of them of great size, bearing the name of the business house from which they float. Some of them are big enough to stretch across the street. Such flags would only be wasted if hoisted when the wind would blow them back over the building. They could not be seen there, and they would soon wear out on roofs and walls and in whipping around chim- neys, and so they are hoisted only when the wind is right.—New York Sun.

“T wouldn’t bave the reputation you have,’’ said the starfish, ‘‘for worlds. Your very name stands for all that is grasping, cruel and murderous,’’

‘You haven’t any occasion to brag,”’ said the shark. ‘‘You’re the Five Points of the fish tribe—that’s what you are!’’— Chicago Tribune.

The chief center of the pearl trade in the Persian gulf is Lingali (Lingah). Most of the products of this fishery are known as ‘‘Bombay pearls,’’ from the fact that many of the best are sold there. The pearls have frequently a Mstinctly yellow water.
