CAST UP DY TilE SEA. Strange Recovery of a Ship That Was Sunk Fifty Years Aero. The Wreck I.lternlly Iucruatad with Saa Sheila l-rwuti a Plcturoaquo Ap pearance A Myatery of the Ieep. The Norwegian bark Elsa Andersen came into Galveston a day or two &go with a stranjrt-luokinjr vessel in tow This was a very small brijf of English build, dismasted ami in need of repairs, which had leen sunk more than fifty years ar, ju.lging from its ancient ap pcarance and awkward rigging, so sailors who have looked at it told a Philadelphia Times correspondent- On t' e afternoon of the 17th of February, off the coast of the Faroe islands, where the Klsa Andersen had been blown by a recent gale, there was a vi olent upheaval of the sea, about two miles distant from the spot where she was riding, that sent several waves sweeping over her which did much dam age and threatened to submerge her en tirely AVhen the alarm which this sudden sea had subsided there was seen about a mile oft a wreck which had not lieen there before the upheaval of the liottomi.f thesea. a phenomenon cor responding to an earthquake on land. The wnvk excited much interest among the ollieers and passengers of the Nor wegian vessel, and an or.ler was issued to approach the strange craft, when it seen that the remains of her ng t iiiir. stumps of masts, and the hull lt selfwere covered by thousands of sea shells, causing the wreck to present the appearance of the miniature ships of shellworktobepurchasi.il at any sea side town. The leaks which had sunk the vessel were now stopped by an ac cumulation of barnacles, and the dere lict rode the waves like a duck. A boatload of sailors was dispatched to board the wreck, and they found the hold and the under decks water tight, save for a few feet of water, which, covering the cargo, had sunk her. But this cargo and the other contents of the ship were entirely destroyed, most of the former having been devoured by the denizens of the deep. In what had evi dently been the captain's berth were found several iron-bound chests, which had resisted to some extent the ravages of the time and the sea, but. on being opened, the contents were found to be reduced to a sort of pulp, with the ex ception of a leather bag. This hail be come hardened until it was necessary to break it open with an ax, when from it poured a quantity of rusty disks, which, being cleaned, proved to be golden guineas of the year lSOU and amounting to the sum of five thousand and twenty-five dollars. There were also several watches of gold and a stomacher of pearls; these, however, are valueless, having been blackened by the action of the water. The wreck was attached to the Elsa Andersen by a cable and towed to Gal veston, where it attracted crowds of visitors. On the fourth dav afteritsde tachment from the bottom of the sea by the quake, the water was all pumped out of the derelict, when it was found to contain three skeletons, two of them of men and the other a woman's, this last being of a person of gigantic build, and in life of nearly seven feet in height. About the neck of one of the male skeletons was a chain of gold, to which was attached a silver crucifix and evidently a rosary. Obeying lt"e;ulatloii. A west-lound train on the Fitchburg railroad had just drawn out of Athol not long ago, says an exchange, and as the conductor entered one of the ears he found among the new passengers a young man respectably dressed, and ap parently of ordinary intelligence. The conductor halted to take up the young man' fare, and the latter handed him a ticket to Miller's Falls, and with it a cent. For a moment the conductor susfiected a joke, but a look at the pas senger's face convinced him to the con trary. "'What is this cent for?" the conductor asked. "Why, I see," an sw-ercd the young fellow, "that the ticket isn't g.xxl unless it is stamped, and as 1 don't happen to have a stamp with me, I give you the cent instead. You can put it on, can't you?" The good-natured conductor handed back coin with a smile, remarking that it was a small matter and he would See that it was all right. Happy 1 urn of Fortune. Iu unexpected turns of the wheel of fortune, elevating the unknown to places of power anil dethroning the mighty without warning, France leads the nations, not excepting Am-r ica. where the grandson of tlit millionaire mav black boots lor the grands n of the crossing-sweeper. The installation of Mme. Grevy in the Elysee is a happy instance. She was the daughter of a tanner. and earned her living in l'aris as a lionnetmaker. When she married her whole fortune was less than .1lHi; at her death she leaves something like a quarter of a million to her daughter. She did not invent an ancestry with her promotion, nor assume fine airs with her rich gowns. Her manners were characterized by simplicity, her ac counts were carefully audited to the smallest detail, and she set her face against court etiquette. INTELLECT AT A DISCOUNT. tiermany Overcrowded by Idle Men Who lave lleen Kdurated at 1'nlvernltie. (Jermany suffers from an intellectual overproduction, according to the Forum All professions are overcrowded. It was fondly lielieved up to our days that the state had no more important task than to render the acquiring of knowl edge as easy as possible, and for that purpose to establish many higher schools. Hut it was not asked whether there was room enough for employing men and women when their education was finished. Taking, for instance, the career of law in Prussia, we find that there are l,b.l men who have not only passed through the gymnasium and the university, but have already served the state gratis for about five years, while the annual average demand is 104). There are more than 7,000 examined architects without a fixed employ ment; it is the same with en gineers, teachers in classics, mathe matics, etc. These unemployed forces are oarticularly attracted to the great capitals because everyone hopes that with the many chances they offer be The filly Ullterence. The people of Wyoming, who permit women to vote, according to Harper's liazar. are apparently not in sympathy with the English bachelor of long ago, who got himself into a controversy on the subject of women's rights with his vis-a-vis at dinner. After proing and coning for a few minutes, the lady asked: "Candidly, sir, why do you op pose giving the franchise to worn fn?" "You will excuse ine for paying it, madam," he replied, "but I have not sufficient confidence in their rapacity to conduct government af fairs." "Hut what evidence of woman's mental inferiority to men can you ad vance?" persisted the Jady. The bach elor thought a moment, and then an swered, slowly: "A simple fact is enough to satisfy my mind, and that is the frightful way in which they do up their back hair." He might have added that until men went around with one hand holding up a trousers Je. the went meo tail unequal. J ABES ft.

A preat many yun- men secure pla-es in the tlcpartruonts merely fr the purpivse of supportinr themselves while they are t,tiidyinir in tl trreat schiMl! of law anil uiedieine liere. iiys tlie Wa-shin.v'ton Star. Matters are s. arranjrivl at these institutions that a clerk w ho stops work at four p. ui. ran g-et dinner an.l W on hand for the even iug lectures, which U-pn at six. The house has voted to reduce the annual vacation of the clerks from thirty to fif teen days, in addition to whu h they are allowed thirty days si -k leave in each year. Whenever there is a lc;-ul holiday there is usually a half-h-.lid.iy on the-day previous. Thecler!; ta!;es tin working part of that half day olT. This gives him two days clear. Hut. on tlic Jay lef.re the half-holiday, he ps to the chief of his hureau and ard.s H'riiiis sion to leave at two thirty p. m.. s; as t- catch a train. Thus the silic ic day's holiday is expandel into two days and a half. The ingenuity with which sm 1. affairs are managed is said to lie won derful. However, it should liecxplaii'icil that tw-thirds of the employes rarely take a day of the sick leave allowed ttiem. If a clerk is absent on account of illness over sixty days iu any year 1. or she must pay a sulistitnte. The civii service commission provides all the sub stitutes that arc wanted. It is provide;! that the clerks shall jrive to the substi tute a certain proportion of the pay. usually amounting b about live pet cent. Hy thus hir iti a su list i t ntc a clerk might retain his place in the servi--e if the government for years, tiioiiirh liiiu sclf blind, paralyzed and inntiricd to his bed. In all cases of sickness a physi cian's certificate is reipiired. N.-t l na ago the treasury department made a rule to the clTect that such c. i-tiii.ate must always state the nature of the complaint l!ut the local medical s-n-ii ly resolved in form il council that such a tiling was out of the ijuestion. and so the regulation fell to the ground. One gets a vivid notion of the magni tude of the departments from the va-,1 quantities of ice which are nipiiiiil t--quench the thirst of the twenfy-threc thousand clerks. The treasury con sumes a ton and a half of ice daily, tak ing an average the year around. An equal quantity is used in the war. state and navy buildings, l.ut the depart ment of the interior is the great de vourer of ice. Including the pensioi office it gobbles tip from tive to six ton every twenty-four hours. The quanti ties utilized arc variable. Each depart inent makes its own contra-t f.-r ice bills lieing advertised for annually. N definite amount to be provided is agree on. The contractor gets so iini. li f-i supplying all the frozen water required whatever it may be. All the depart ments, together with thi ir branches consume twenty-f-n-r thousand p -us-d-every day. Any seen tury can by i sim ple order im rejse the w r!;ing hours o:" the clerks in his i!ep:rt : cut t any ex tent which l-e thinks desirable. SUCTION OF A FAST TRAIN. Geese Caught and Currird loue In It Make. A gentleman who was recently watch ing a fast passenger train as it spci along from Fort Wayne to Chicago s:iy: "The train made splendid time and lef , in its wake a cloud of ilust that iiieluile.l sand, pebbles, straws and most every thing else along the way. "Where I stood there was a flock '. geese picking along the track. Thi swift approach of the train disturbed them little, and the sound of the whist!. was little bet ter than r,reck. They di ! not comprehend, it. In a few seem! the engine was npon them. A unani mou3 napping of wings followed, air they made great efforts to cr-japc. Tin truth is that they did escape from tl; track, but the draft made by the rapi inovement suclail the -ntire il- k liae; un.ler the wheels again. Nearly ab were killed. "One or two es -aped the wheels, bu. they were drawn after the rear end o; the train for fully fifty feet by the f.-r.i of the suction. They were pcrfe; t!. helpless, and fell t- the groan-! with : thud when the force had passed over I never clearly realized how much draw ing power a moving train really had. Nainn or Mountains. Mountains and mountain ranges ii. the I'niti-d States, and, indeed, th. world over, have usually lieen name, not by the mountaineers themselves, but fiy the dwellers in the plains wh -saw the mountains as a more or less Jis tant prospect. It sonntimes happ-n:-that a mountain or a niouutuia range ln-ars two names, says the New York Sun. because of iliiTi rent aspects present U dwellers usm each side. The sev eral l'lue and l.lue I'iilge mountain were mimed manifestly by those to whom the ranges presented themsclvi . . against a more or less distant b.-ri.'.oii. tne of tlietJreen mountains in Vermont is called Ilald 1'aee by dwcllcls in the Adirondack region about I'an! Smith's, a name justified by tho asrH-ct of the mountain from that part of the wilder ness. Our own Adirondack Sugar Leaf could never have lieen named by a dweller upon its own top. Tlie'Orange mountains took their name, however, not from their sunset asji-t as seen from the lowlands, but are only another evidence of the affection with which Dutchmen cling to the name Orange, an affection that has led them to fix that name on the map in whatever part of the world they- may have tarried. THE SEVENTH SON. strange Power Commonly Attributed to llllll. Civilization has not carried us entire ly beyond the reach of superstition. While we will not openly admit, says the Pittsburgh Commercial-Telegraph, we are superstitious there are very few who can say they are entirely free from it. A great many people believe a sev enth son has some occult healing power, but it is not generally known that a particular ceremony must lie ob served at the moment of the infant's birth in order to give him his healing power. The person who receives him in his arms places in his tiny hands whatever substance she decides he shall rub with in after life, and she is very careful not to let him touch anything else until this has been accomplished. If silver is to be the charm she has pro vided a six-penny or threepenny bit; but as the coinage of the realm may change possibly during his lifetime, and thus render his cure valueless, she has more likely placed salt or meal on the table. Sometimes when the parents arrange that he is to rub hisown hair the father kneels down liefore his new-born son and the little lingers are guided to the head and helped to close upon a lock of hair. It is essential that whatever sub stance a seventh son rubs must lie worn by his parents as long as they live. Not long ago a Dublin shopkeeper, finding his errand boy very dilatory in his duties, made inquiries as to the cause. To his surprise he found that the boy being a seventh son of a seventh son was often wanted for his services among the poorer classes and was consequent ly detained. Wanted to II, IHssuadeil.

JOHDSOQ U-UhdUL OWLS. It Is Maria Itetter Tliaa Tkelr eaa ef hanell. The hearing- of ail species of owls known to me ia marvelously k-n. aava a writer in tle l'opular Science ilouth ly. a keen, in fatt, that I know of no way of teatinfr it, aiiice it ia much inun acute than that of man. If owla have the ix-nse of aonell I am unable to find satUfaotory eviilence of it- I have triil various experiments with tliem, hopinirto prove that they could smell, but the rvt.ult are all neg-ative. They dUlike putrid meat, liut they biU it to as.-1-rtaiii its conditan. They will iwt at touds or frx(r w hich yield an un-j-U-x-int ialor, but they did not reject these species until they had tetej them l.y tasting.'. They may be ever so hun jrry. yet they do not suspect the p res ell, i- of f.MKl if it is carefully covered so that they cannot see it. This test I have applied with the utmost care to the freat-horneil, snowy and barred owls. The latter are shrewd enough to learn my ways of hiding their food, and w hen tlii-y suspect its presence they will s--an.li in the plaMfH wliere I have pre viously hidden it, pouncing- upon pieces of wrapping- paper and poking- under feathers and excelsior with amusing cunning. I tested them with the fumes of camphor, ammonia and other disa greeable aud unusual smells, but they failed to show that they perceived them unless the fumes were strong enough to affect their breathing or to irritate their eyes. Finally I put a cat in a basket and placed the basket between the two owls. They were utterly indif ferent to it until the cat made the luts ket rock, when both of them lied pre cipitately and could not be induced to go near the basket again. Although Puffy will put a cat to flight when on his mettle, l'uffy is frightened al most out of his wits by them. A Jap anese toy bird, made of a piece of wood and a few scarlet feathers, was augerly seized by 1'ulTy, indicating not only a lack of power of smell, but the pres ence of an appreciation of color. I have fancied that an appreciation of color is also shown by barred owls in their fre quent selection of beech trees for nest ing places, by great-horned owls in their choice of brown-truuked trees and by snowy owls in an apparent prefer ence for gray backgrounds. JOURNALISM IN JAPAN. Flues l'aid lu Adiauoa-No Wuniaa Al lowed to Ko.lt av Paper, Journalism in Japan appears to be surrounded by some stern restrictions, the desirability of abolishing or amend ing which has lately been occupying the attention of the Japanese parliament. In Lurope, according to the London Standard, when newspapers offend against the law, fines are inflicted on the editor, writer, printer, or publisher, as the case may be; but in Japan it ap puars that the journalists begin by pay ing a fine, though the amount may pos sibly be returued to them in course of time for that is the practical result of ilwxjfliting sums of money with the au thorities, varying from three hundred and iifty to one thousaud yen yearly, as evidence of good lioth. If tines are in llicted, at any rate of less than the amount of the deposit, there can be bo question of non-payment. A motion was made to abolish this de posit, as also the power of the govern ment to suspend a paper w hich pub lished anything calculated to disturb the public peace, but the right of sus pension was retained by eighty-one votes to forty-eight; and as to the de sirability of demanding the security, the house was unanimous. It was es pial mil that the house felt the necessity of keeping some check on "irresponsi ble agitators unfit to wield journalistic influence." aud there is a good deal to to said for the contention. "Women's rights" advocates will be extremely of fended at oue amendment which waa a-TcpUil. No woman is allotted to be e. mie au editor or publisher in Japan. Whether women are permitted to write for publications does not appear, but it is decided that the work of editing or publishing is 'neither desirable or be coming" f.r females. If ladies are not to le allowed to describe dresses and criticise the fashions, who is to under take that grave responsibility? It is jlear, however, that if ladies may do this their work must always be edited by a male hand; and w hen that hand lickings to the father of a family, with stern views of economy and a lack of arti.-ti-- perception, there is no sayin,? what ideas may not be promulgated. A lever Count a-ee Countess Tolstoi is an extremely clever woman intellectually, and one who is more than a match for her hus band in his arguments, writes Mary a Menchikolf iu the Ladies Home Journal. She transcribe his books as they are written, as frequently as they arc altered and revised, and in the case of the "Kreutzer Sonata' copied it four times before the book was finally completed. The countess, who is of necessity the financial manager of the family, has taken possession of the estate, which she administers for tlie gMnl of her husband aud children. She it wits v ho issued, a few years ago, the cheap edition of Count Tolstoi's novels, on the royalties of which the house hold has been supported. To her firm ness and determination the credit for the home in which the family resides, as well as the blame if such it be called for her husband's failure to practice the doctrine of a community of goods, which he so earnestly advocates, must be given; and her realisation that a home must be provided for the nine children who have lived of the sixteen born to them must be her excuse. AFRICAN JOURNEYINGS. Queer Ceremonies i'erf or med by tae Natives. There are places in Africa where three men cannot be sent on a journey together for fear two of them may com bine and sell the third. When a man has determined on a journey he must consult the oracle by means of divina tion. The methods tuost commonly employed are as follows: The magician takes a quantity of flour and lets it fall iu a steady stream on a flat stone placed at the head of the traveler's bed. If it forms a perfect cone as it falls the omen is good; if not, there is an end of the matter at tliat time and by means of the flour cone. Sacrifice must now be offered to propitiate the offended spirits. When the cone is perfect it is covered by an inverted pot and left for the night- In the morning the pot is removed and the cone examined; if it is still whole and in the exact state in which it was left when covered, there is nothing further to be done beyond presenting a thank offering of rice, flour or fowl to the ancestral spirits and set out on the journey. Should there be a falling of the cone, even small slip down its side, it is a sign not to be disregarded, and the oracle, after propitiatory sacrifice, must once more be consulted. Aa Old ana Bis; Turtle. When Mauritius was ceded to Great Britain, in 1810, there was a gigantic turtle in a court of the artillery bar racks at Port Louis, which is there still, although almost blind. It weighs, ac cording to a French observer, 150 kilo grammes and measures 2.59 meters (eight and one-half feet) across the car apace.
