Efforts Made to Recover the
Lost Lutine's Treasure.
FRIGATE WRECKED IN 1799
Itcputvd to Have Hud $2,500,000 on

Ik-rn Itocovcrcd The Koniitntlc
Tradition Connected with Her
Ijoss Ilt'llrn at Lloyds.
The two fiunktn treasure ships
v. lilch have most stlrrcJ the popular
imagination are the Spanish Armada
!h!;i Admiral of Florence, blown tip
in Tobermory Bay, Mull, Jn 1588,
t;id the English frigate Lutlne,
v reeked off the Terschelling, Hol
land, in 1799. In both casPB at
tempts have been made from time to
time to naive their treasure.
In the case of the galleon they
have met with but little success.
With the Lutlne fortune has been
more favorabe and about 100,000
out of her reputed 500,000 has
been recovered.
The salvors believe that the bulk
of the treasure Is lying outside the
boat near the stern on her port side.
In 1859 a gold bar was picked up,
but since then no bars have been re
covered. In 1862 a diver reported
a large quantity of silver bars bins
closely packed together In the
form of a pavement outslda the ves
sel. He was unable to lift one or to ct
an iron bar between to separate then
This n.asg was undet a covering of
sand uad it wai, owing to a further
influx that the operations hnd to be
abandoned.
The Lutlne was originally a thirty
two gun French frigate, captured
by Admiral Hood in 1793 during th.
operations against the city of Tou
lon. Under the British flag she car
ried a crew of 250 men and she took
her part In several engagements
when acting as convoy. On Octo
ber 9, 1799, she made her last voy
age under extraordinary circum
stances. It is recorded that the Lutine sail
ed from Yarmouth Roads in fair
weather, but as she approached the
Dutch coast a heavy gale bore
down from the northwest. During
the night she struck on a road bank
between the Islands of Vlleland and
Terschelllng, lying off one of the
entrances to the Zuyder Zee called
".ie Vile River.
Fishermen on the shore watched
r struggles on the lee shore, and
jTii them comes the romantic tra
i.'.ioj of the treasure ship, after
. pe of rescue was gone, being lit up
llliantly and the sounds of revelry
i ud singing coming through the
storm, until the lights suddenly dis
appeared and the Lutlne was gone.
Many of the Lombard street bankers
are said to have sent representatives
tc accompany the money, but of tho
large crew and passengers only one
man, clinging to a spar, reached the
shore alive, and he died without
speaking. The ship was Insured at
Lloyd's, and the underwriters
promptly paid the Insurance for a
total loss.
Salvage work began the next year,
and as Holland was then allied to
France the English underwriters
had the chagrin of hearing that
55,000 of the treasure was recov
ered by the Dutch. The operations
'vere carried on with tongs, nippers
and Iron landing nets fastened to
the ends of poles worked by fisher
men. In 1801 the wreck settled lnta
t.iie sand, and nothing further was
attempted until 1814 when the Onlc
lal Receivers of wrecks at Terschel
llng landed a few coins. A com
pany called the Decretal Salvors
(still in existence) set to work in
1821. by permission of the Dutch
Government, but after spending spy
era: thousand pounds abandoned the
wreck to the and. The e;T rt
roused Lloyd's who applied to tie
Dutch Government, with the result
that the King of Holland gave the
wreck to George IV., who made it
over to them.
But after all this Lloyd's did noth
ing. In 1857 the accidental entan
glement of a buoy chain In the wreck
led to the discovery that It was once
more free of sand and by arrange
ment with Lloyd's the Decretal Sai
lors once more resumed operations
and brought up 44,000. The work
was suspended to 1859, owing to
another shifting.
Further attempts were made and u
few relics were found; then In 1888
about 1,000 worth of gold and sil
ver coins were recovered, but no bars
either of gold or silver. From 1S9 4
ta 1900 various operations were
tried but only a few coins appeared.
Besides the treasure some very In
teresting relics of the lost ship were
brought to the surface. Her rudder,
which was recovered In 1857, was
made into the chairman's table and
chair In the secretary's room, and
her bell, bearing the royal crown and
arms, of the Bourbons and the In
scription "8aIntN Jean," has long
hung In the underwriter's room, and
Is heard when the room Is called to

A Discouraging Lot of Tptfiiuiny ti
This fcfTr-rt Is fiUofi liy the Ntci'n
Sex Itcasonj Given by thn Tct'
flers Are Many and Various.
Do college-bred women make Rood
wives or do they not? A discours
ing number of men lean to the nega
tive, If testimony gathered by An
nette Austin and published In "Oood
Housekeeping" is to be taken as rep
resentative. The reasons given by
the testifiers are many and various.
"Th3 college girl Is too religious."
says one man. "She is always push
ing a spiritual hobby under your
nose."
"Too masculine," complains an
other. "Not content to resemble a
boy In tastes and disposition, but
must dress like him."
Of kindred mind is a third critic.
"Hard, brainy, flsty," he tersely de
scribes the college girl. "Resembles
a fourteen-year-old boy more than
anything In nature, and always will."
A New York physician brings a
number of counts against the college
girl. "Inadaptable In the marrlige
relation," he says. "Her Intolerance
is directed especially against men.
. . . Seclusion In college breeds
a distorted Idea of marriage and of
the sex relation In general, and It Is
to this crass ignorance that much
misery in tho marriage relation 1j
traceable."
Also, this physielan thinks she 1)
"too masculine. A woman has fal'od
to fullril her first duty to humanity
when she fails to be attractive," ha
declares, "and the college-educated
woman Is usually not attractive by
reason of her masculine attitude to
ward life." She Is too athletic, lias
a "lumpy, clumsy way of moving
about ... Is slangy to a de
gree, and even swears on occasion."
All in all, the doctor thinks college
girls are dreadfully unladylike.
Another man, an author-physician,
Is even gloomier.
"The tendency to withdraw Into
herself, to shun marriage and to seek
a career, which is particularly notice
able of the collegu-bred woman. Is a
manifestation of a deep-seated ab
normality, the result of a misdirected
training in a freak institution." That
Is only one of the things the author
physlclan says. In particular he Is
bitter because a college girl he be
lieves wouldn't marry a man who
said "It's him."
"No matter how worthy he may
be as a man, how prosperous in busi
ness, how amply suited to make her
a good husband, that grammatical
error removes him forever from any
hope of eligibility to her hand."
Strengthening a Worn Petticoat.
A favorite silk petticoat became
worn near the bottom, the seams and
breadths giving away beneath the
ruffles. It was not worth expend
ing money for new silk, but the own
er disliked to discard it altogether,
so repaired it In this fashon: Two
and a half yards of heatherbloom
were purchased as near the shade of
the silk as possible. The bottom of
the skirt was faced up knee-high on
the wrong side with this, thus
strengthening the worn parts be
neath the ruffles. A deep flounce of
the heatherbloom was attached to
the top of the facing, on the under
side, of course. This was not very
full, but caused the skirt to set out
nicely around the bottom and took
much of the wear and tear off of the
already weakened silk ruffles. The
skirt has now stood several addi
tional months' wear, and seems good
for an Indefinite period.

Soak one-third box gelatine in a

scant cup of sugar. Strain, then set
In a pan of cracked Ice to chill and
stiffen. As it begins to harden, whip
to a stiff foam, add the whites of
three eggs also whipped until stiff
and light, then continue the beating
until the mass is stiff enough not to

The Queen's Qualr."
At a certain dinner party, a well
known writer who was present was
asked by one of the company what
he thought of Mr. Maurice Hewlett's
novel, "The Queen's Qualr." "Don't
you think that the author was a lit
tle er improper In 'The Queen's
Qualr?' " was the question. The gen
tleman thus Interrogated pointed out
that the manners and morals of the
time fully justified Mr. Hewlett's
work, and the conversation was
changed to other topics. When the
dinner was nearly over a mlld-look-lng
gentleman sitting next to the
writer whispered, "I beg your par
don, Mr. , but what did Mr.
Hewlett do In Queen's Square?"
Deafness.
A deaf child Is probably suffering
from adenoids, and should be ex
amined by a doctor, and, if neces
sary, operated on as soon as possible.
The earlier such an operation Is per
formed the better. It Is quite a small
one and not danserous.
How snd When lh Delicacy Wat Introduced
to America
Many persons, says the Nashville
American, now enjoy grapefruit
and appreciate its value as a health
ful fruit who a few years ago did
not know of its existence, and
whose knowledge of it now is lim
itcd. For these this information is
not wholly without interest.
The grapefruit, or shaddock is
a native of China and was first
brought to the Vet Indes in 1810
by ai Englishman, Captain Shad
dock, for whom the fruit was named;
the date of its first introduction in
to this country has not been re
corded, but it was regarded at first
as of no value as a fruit, being re
garded more as a curiosity and used
as an ornament.
It is of the orange family, but
its bitter taste was objectionable;
this has been modified by cultiva
tion, so that it has, in recent years,
come into general use as a valuable
dessert fruit, especially for eating
in the morning. It is now exten
sively grown in Florida and Cali
fornia, as well as in the West In
dies and all tropical countries, be
ing somewhat more tender than
the orange.
It grows on a tree
much larger
in much the
sister fru;t;
than the orange, but
same manner as its
sometimes singly and at others two
or three fruits in a cluster. The
name grapefruit was however, net
derived from that, but from the
fancied resemblance in flavor of the
fruit to the grape. The fruit is al
so known as the pomelo, pumelo
and pompelmos.

first supposed was a dog in the pub

on and caught the cub, which when
caught made a noise that brought
a hearty response from the mother
bear, standing on the bank along
side the road. At this stage of the
game Mr. Bahl noticed that the
norses wete getting very nervous,
and he dropped the cub and looked
after his team, proceeding on bis
journey. The bear and cub, when

In the Days of Wild Pigeons.
When Associate Judge Blee of
Montour County was in Danville
the other day, he and several others
were talking of changes that had
taken place during their live, says
the Danville A'acs.
Wild pigeons became the theme
of conversation. Of course, the
young person of the present day
knows nothing about wild pigeon;
but when the judge, who is now
seventy, was a boy wild pigeons
were a factor that the spoilsman
reckoned with.
Joseph R. Patton recalled that
when he was young he used to see
wild pigeons galore. They fre
quently swarmed over head in mil
lions, shutting out the rays of the
sun and casting a siiaaow on ine
earth. Judge Blee described a net
for catching the pigeons used by
him as a boy, which was sixty feet
long and wide in proportion. At
one catch he trapped forty dozen
The wild pigeons were victims of
indiscriminate and merciless '
slaughter. They were captured
throughout the country by every
means that ingenuity could devise.
They not only afforded delicious
food in season but their diminu
tive carcass :s were prtservtd by
smoking and other means and they
graced the farmer's table at inter
vals during the whole year.
The wild pigeon very closely re
sembled the tame pigeon. Kach
fall regularly they migrated south,
returning in the spring. During
the winter they sought the rice
swamps of the south and during
their flight northward in the spring
Judge Blee recalls shooting pigeons
that had rice in their craws. The
bird spent the summer in the
mountains north and west of this
section.
Not only were the pigeons
obliged to run the gauntlet in their
migrations spring and fall, but they
were pursued by avaricious per
sons iuto the very mountains where
they were breeding and were shot
and entrapped in nets.
As a result of this indiscriminate
slaughter the pigeons became prac
tically extinct about 1S60. For
some years afterward a few might
have been seen spring and fall,
winging their flight overhead, but
long ago the last wild pigeon passed
out of existence.
When Judge Blee was a boy
nearly every farm had a few wild
pigeons cooped up, which had been
captured and were being kept as
stool pigeons, to be used as decoys
to draw others within the net,
when the latter was employed as a
means of capturing the birds.
Woman's Home Companion for May.
The burden of our changing
social order falls upon our daugh
ters, claims the Woman's Home
Companion for May, and this maga
zine shows ty striking examples
and figures how topsyturvy is our
way of training girls.
In this same issue is a charming
article by Margaret Sangster,
showing that the millionaire mother
is by no means as black as she is
painted. Mary Heaton Vorse, in
her own inimitable style proves
that if we are fat it is our own
fault.
In more serious mood is a trip
through the Metropolitan Museum
of Art with Sir Caspar Purdon
Clarke as guide. This valuable
article is illustrated by exquisite
reproductions of famous paintings.
Other articles of interest are "The
Art of Economy," by Mrs. John
Van Vorst, and "The Commuters
of New York," by Albert Bigelow
Paine. "An Imperial Wraith," by
Clara Morris, contains charming
reminiscences of the Empress
Eugenie. "Lucy Green," a friend
less seventeen-year-old girl, tells
how she went to Boston penniless,
in search of a job, and how she
got one.
"Afraid" is a story in Zona
Gale's exquists style, "Hearts
and the Highway" has Cyrus
Townsend Brady's usual swing and
dash, and "The Four Adventures
ses" is another story by Hulbert
Footner, whose freshness and
humor have established his reputa
tion. This issue of the Woman's IJome
Companion is distinguished by two
features a poem entitled "The
Grandmother," by James Oppen

Harrison Fisher, showing Mar
garet and Gerard, from "The
Cloister and the Hearth."
