SOME FAMOUS MUTINIES WHEN BRITISH SAILOES WENT ON SIHIKE. Sichard Parktf Bose From Sea- man to be "President of the Floating Eepublie." Somewhat over a century ago, when Kngland was lighting for her life, a mutinous spirit sproad liko the plague through a great part of the licet. And, atrauge to Bay, our. Government was almost as helpless in face of the outbreak as Russia found herself. Our famous mutiny of the Nore coniiiienced on April 14th, 1797. <iuite unsuspicious of disaffection among his men, Admiral BriUport gave the order for the Channel Squadron to proceed to sea. But the seamen of his own ship, instead of obeying the order, ran up the shrouds, and gave three cheers â€" the appointed signal of rebellion to the whole Ueet. The men then made a dpmand for an advance in wages, to the amount of 30s. per month; and an increase in their allowance of provisions. We were at war with Spain, Franco, and Holland, and no- thing remained to the Government but to yield to the men's demands. Order was quickly restored, and the ships set sailâ€" all but three, which Were left behind. But, curiously, our Government was as slow to carry out its prom- ise as the Russian hierarchy. On May 7th, a much more serious mu- tiny broke out on the ships moored at the Nore. It began when Admir- al Colpoys ordered the men to go below and remain quiet. They obey- ed at first, but very soon tried to force their way on deck. Admiral Colpoys thereupon ordered the Ma- rines to fire. Only a few officers obeyedâ€" KILLING FIVE MEN. The Marines threw down their arms and, the men, coming on deck, seized Lieutenant Bover, put a rope round his ni'ck. and prepared to hang him. But, with fine bravery, the admiral stepped forward, saying: "If anyone is to blame it is I. I gave the order to lire." lie and his officers were .seized and locked in their cabins for twenty- four hours, after which they were Bent ashore. Then followed a terrible state of things, under the leadership of Rich- ard Parker, who, from an able- seaman, suddenly rose to be 'Tre- sident of the Floating Republic." The mutineers paraded Sheernesss with red Hags, took ships out of the harbor, .sent boats up the river to win over the ships lying at Long Reach. They stopped mer- chant ships going up and down, and effected a veritable blockade of London. By this ttBiC the mutinous ficot was a very strong forceâ€" thirteen sail of the line, together with many sloops, frigates and ifunboats. One of the favorite amusements of the men was to tie the officers to the end of a rope, attach a cannon ball to their feet, hoist them lo the yard-arm, and then suddenly IDROP THEM INTO THE'WATEn. What the Government did in these circumstances seems curious. They offered pardon to the men if they would return to their duty. And on. May 29th they sent down three Lords of the Admiralty to treat with the rebels; but the latter be- haved with such insolence that the Admiralty Lords returned without doing anything. Soon, however, three mutinous ships deserted. Then, on June 9th. when "President" Parker gave the order to sail, no ship obeyed it. Next day the officers of the Leopard with a few lo,yal seamen, succeeded in cowing the mutineers aboard, and bringing away *the ship. On May 13th Parker's own ship, the Sand- wich, surrendered, and that was the end of the mutiny. Parker and a number of the lead- ing spirits were tried by court-mar- tial, and hanged on June 30th. The men of the whole fleet, however, got their "rise" in wages of ."Js. 6d. a month. an increased allowance of provisicns, full i>ay while suffering from Wounds, and other advant- ages. In 1801. at Bantry Bay, in lie- land, the men, complaining of had food and other grievances, deter- mined that they would refuse to sail to the West Indies whenever the or- der .should be given. It never came to anything more than a general agreement to mutiny. But this was considered sutticient to ju.'itify the haiicing of thirteen men. The men of the frigate Dauae mu- HE FEELS AS YOUNG AS EVER MR. CHESTER LOOMIS TOOK D ODD'S KIDITEY PILLS. And Prom a Used Tip Man He Be- came as Smart as a Boy.

Tt commenced on .\pril 4th, and last^id till the I2th, on which day, fearing the consequences, the mutineers exploded £00 barrels of gunpowder, and BLEW THFaiSF.LVES INTO ETERNITY. Perhaps the most interesting of all Bsitisli mulinirs was that of H.M.S. Bounty, in 1789, which gave us the little colony of Pitcairn Island. The Bounty, «inder the command of Ad- miral Bligh, went to Otaheite, for the purpose of bringing away some bread-fruit for acclimitisation in the West Indies. For six months the ship lav there, and the luxurious and free life demoralized the men. Soon after the Bounty sailed with her cargo, twenty-three of the men seiz- ed the captain while asleep, with eighteen of the cr;,'W, put them in a small, open boat, with only 150 lbs. of bread, .'12 lbs. of pork, and 28 gallons of water, and cast them adrift. It seemed virtual murder. But, by the skill and courage of Ad- miral Bligh, the frail craft was kept aflcat for three months, and travel- led 3,«18 miles to the island of Timor, off Java. From hero, Cap- tain Bligh and the twelve surviving men sailed to London. The mutineers, meanwhilo, made for Tahiti. I'liey quarrelled violent- ly among themselves, and half of them deserted on touching land. Many of these were captured later on by the Pandora, and brought to Portsmouth, where three of thi- ring- leaders were hanged. Those who re- mained in the Bounty disappeared, no one knew whither. But twenty years later a British ship stopped by accident at Pitcairn Island, and the crew were itstonish- ed to find a happy conmiunity of half-breeds there, with one white man â€" all of whom spoke English. Then the terrible history was tokl them how the nine mutineers, with eighteen natives of Tahiti, landed, in 1790. burned the Bo'inty, and ccnnnenced a life of drunkenness, treachery and murder. â€" London An- swers.

As the face is more exposed to sun and dust than any other part of the body, more care should be taken in cleansing it. Soften the skin with clcths wrung out of warm water, then apply thoroughly a good cold cream, after which a thorough rubb- ing with a camel'.s-hair brush will leave a few impurities in the pores. Ro.se-wator 80/.., loz. of borax, and 2oz. ol Btraiiie<l lemon juice make .a lotion excellent for removing tan and sunburn. HiKTS coxcERNiNG n.vrns. Eveiyone can take a tepid bath without injurious eOV^ts; not every- one can take a cold sponge bath or a hot bath with inipunitj. The safe rule to follow is to begin the daily bath with tepid water.

After the bath rub and rub. and still rub, with a Turkish towel of generous size, un- til the skin is thoioughly dry, red, and tingling. It acts as a splendid tonic.
