THE STORMY PETREL.
l)ur Pupuratitioii of Old Sailura A bunt
the Htrd.
One of the best known of the sea
birds is the stonny petrel. It is
oftenest seen during- storms flying
above the waves in search of the shell
fish and other small animals that are
brought to the surface by the tempest,
says St. Nicholas. The sailors call
petrels "Mother Carey's chickens,"
and do not view them with much favor,
owing to their being- constant compan
ions of storms. Jack" thinks that
rough weather may be expected when
he sees petrels alxiut and is not quite
sure that they do not in some way
cause the teuitH'st. When the bird is
on the lookout for its prey it seems to
walk on the water. Hence the sea
men of olden time, in allusion to the
Apostle l'cter's walking on the water,
called the bird petrel, from the Latin
I'etrellus, ' Little l'eter."
So far from the sailor being super
stitious as to the capture of another
kind of petrel, the cape pigeon, which
is of black-and-white color and alut
the size of a tame pigeon, I have
known "Jack" to take a hand occa
sionally in capturing them as a bit of
recreation during a dog-watch.
In southern latitudes the cape pig-eons
follow a ship in thousands. A
common bottle cork is tied to the.end
of a piece of thread and trailed astern
so that the cork touches the water.
This gives the required tautness to the
thread.
As the birds fly n clouds from side
to side astern some of them constantly
strike the thread with their wings and
the resistance is enough to turn them
over it. when the thread is wrapped
around the wing and the bird'is hauled
on board. In this manner I have seen
hundreds caught in a da3".
On one occasion a clipper ship carry
ing passengers to India captured
pigeons by hundreds aud the surgeon
by some mischance succeeded in en
tangling a stormy petrel.
Now, the doctor was an enthusiastic
naturalist and what to the sailors is
known as a "land-lubber" that is, he
was on his first voyage. The doctor at
once took the specimen to his cabin
and made preparations to skin ami
preserve it. In hot haste a deputation
of seamen, headed by the old gray
haired sail-maker, came aft with a re-iiui-st
that the ivtrvl be set at liberty,
saying that otherwise the ship and all
on board would surely suffer.
The doctor, somewhat surprised, in
tended to set the bird free, but his en
thusiasm as a naturalist prevailed
over the suierstitious warning and
when the saiiors had disappeared the
bird was added to his collection. The
fact him in liecame known forward
among the men and the doctor was re
garded with black looks by the crew
for the remainder of the voyage.
I n the course of time the good ship
anchored in the llugil river and that
lay at dinner the doctor suddenly
died
There was a gathering of the sailors
around the windlass that dog-watch
and the doctor's sudden death was at
tributed by the superstitious sailors to
his slaughter of the stormy petrel.
DON'T KNOW HOW TO EAT.
Too Many Ainerlmna Woefully IteAclant
In That llmm h or l-Mileat loll.
"When my children get to the proper
age." said the man who was smoking a
briar pipe, "I intend to have them
taken in hand by some competent per
son and give them a thorough instruc
tion in the art of eating, and, further,
in the science of finding out what to
eat and ordering."
"What do you mean?" inquired a
ItutTalo Express man who sat next to
him.
"I mean this: The average American
citi.eu is woefully deficient in knowl
edge of what he can get to eat. He
falls down when it comes to ordering
a dinner. The great majority of jieoplc
in this country are brought up frugally
at home and do not know any thing but
the commonest dishes. The conse
quence is that when a man goes into
a restaurant for dinner or to a hotel lie
gazes helplessly at the bill of fare and
sees many things of which he does not
know ttie component parts. He dares
not order anything that he is not sure
of for fear of ridicule, and he falls back
on roast beef and mashed potatoes.
The fact is. he doesn't know anything
but roast beef. Same way in a restaur
ant. W"hen a waiter shoves a bill of
fare under a man's nose nine times out
of ten he will look it overand thensay:
'( limine a steak and some fried pota
toes.' Now, the man who does this
day after day doesn't want roast beef.
He is sick unto death of steaks and
fried potatoes. He loathes ham and
eggs, and yet he keeps on ordering
them in dreary and dyspeptic succes
sion, because he doesn't know any
better and he is too proud to confess
his ignorance. It's that way with me.
and I'll bet it's that way with most of
you. I am going to relieve my children
of all these things. They're poing to
know what's what when it comes to
eating. 'No roast beef domination!'
shall be my household slogan."
VITIATED AIR.
Impurity of the At inimpher of Hteam
llraieit liulltllnir.
In an article contributed to the
Philadelphia Record by Dr. F. A. Ad
ams, the inquiry is propounded
whether the immense increase of
steam-heated otlice buildings, iu which
the great majority of rooms have no
adequate means for the renewal of the
air to be w armed, may not iu a large
measure account for the prevalence of
pneumonia among middle-aged men.
Many of these buildings, lr. Adams
says, are admirably constructed to
keep out air, whether cold or not; this
very perfection contributing to their
insalubrity. In these hermetically
sealed otlice rooms that almund in
business buildings the steam heats the
atmosphere to a delightfully comfort
able degree, aud the occupant breathes
and rebreathes the air during zero
days when an open window cannot be
endured, the elTect being to silently
undermine his powers of resistance, so
that when he goes forth, exchanging
such tropical air for the keen breeze
of unrestricted nature, it happens"
that, through some subtle change iu
his system which has robbed his lungs
of their power of resistance, their ca
pacity to endure the ouset or transi
tion i-, gone and the subtle poison of
uureuewed air does its deadly work in
the form of pneumonia.
A Mtrauice l'lant
In the island of Reunion is a plant
known as the wild orange, which pro
duces a fruit, green at Jirst, afterward
bluish, aud verging- into purple as it
ripens. This has Wen tested and
found to make a beverage in every
way equal to coffee and at a much
lower price. The product is called
'mussaeuda," aud can be used
alone or mixed with pure coffee. It is
announced that about twenty-four
thousand acres of this plant are now
being cultivated. It is most likely,
however, that chicory, more than cof
fee, will suffer from the introduction
cf "mussaejida."

A MYSTERIOUS THIEF.
How He Caused a Great Commo
tio.? In a Rural Neighborhood.
The whole country-side was up in
arms. Hardly a week had passed the
entire spring that the neighborhood
had not been aroused by the report of
some fresh attempt to relieve a farmer
of his best horse and Suaday-go-to-meeliujf
turnout.
To be sure, not in one case out of ten
was it ever proved that auy marauder
had been w ithin miles of the place; but
strange noises had been heard. Harn
doors that were distinctly remembered
to have been fastened the night before
were found wide open the next morn
ing, and in one instance a whole bag of
oats had mysteriously disappeared.
Of course, none others than horse
thieves w ho were knowu to be in the
vicinity could have perpetrated such
deeds. The air was tilled with vague
suspicion and ilreaL And bold-hearted
swains who ventured to make evening
calls on their sweethearts inwardly
quaked as they drove home, lashing
their nags past dark and jfruesome
places ou the road.
All the most thrilling details Fan
poured into my ears as we walked up
the road winding- between the fields
from the station. And I. my senses
the while gratefully conscious of the
soft tints of the sunset, the fragrance
of the wild roses bliHming along the
wall, the restful quiet and freshness,
attentively listened until she reached
the impressive climax.
Two weeks ago that very night Dr.
Andrews' horse had been stolen; aud,
though members of "The Horsethief
Detecting society" had started in pur
suit the next morning and three of
them were still searching, no trace of
it had yet beeu discovered.
I woke with a start at midnight A
broad strip of light lay across my bed
from the lamp post opposite? No, it
was moonlight! I raised on my elbow
why. of course, I was at Haywood
farm, and that was Rover barking so
savagely, aud yes, I heard voices, and
scurrying feet in the halL Why. what
"Oh, quick! wake 'em, quick! He's
turning into the orchard!"
That was Mrs. Haywood! Instantly
I grasped the situation horse-thieves!
I sprang out of bed aud rushed into the
hall.
"They've got your Ned. Ma heard
him step out of the barn!" cried Fan, as
she dashed past me and up to the next
floor, two steps at a time.
"Our Ned?" 1 ejaculated, and flying
back to my window flung opeu the
shutters.
The full moon wasdeluging the earth
with a Hood of silvery light, in which
surrounding objects stood out almost as
distinctly as at mxindiy. Plainly I
could discern a man riding a dark horse
among the trees in the orchard. Our
dear old Ned, who had been wintering
on tlie farm; the sight was maddening.
Catch him, Rovtr!
Sic, sic!
1
shouted, w ildly clappiug my hands and
dancing up and dow n iu my anxietv.
Again came Mrs. Haywood's voice:
"llirls, girls, tell them to hurry!
He's trying to take the colt. Matthew,
1 told you it wasn't safe to leave it out
overnight. Oh dear, dear, what keeps
those boys'."
"Oh, 1 heard it whinny!" I screamed,
joining the other distracted females.
"Oh, so do I. so do 1!"
"Ed, Frank, they're taking the colt!"
we cried, rushing pell-inell into the
young men's apartment, where we
found Fan frantically trying to drag
them out of bed by main force.
Now we heard pa calling for a lan
tern. Down we rushed in a body,
leaving the thoroughly aroused young
men, who quickly drew on their neither
garments and followed in our wake.
Mrs. Haywood met us in the hall
wringing her hands.
"He's riding one horse and leading
another," she cried. "Oh. I know he'll
get away! Matthew, I told you it
wasn't sate to leave that colt out And
he'd just as leave shoot as not. Don't
one of you stir a step till you're all to
gether!" Frank seized the lantern and hurried
out to investigate the barns. By this
time the hubbub had brought to our
assistance "Dutch Hans" a man in
charge of the neighboring place armed
with a rusty old musket and no ammu
nition. Thus reinforced they sallied forth to
meet the horsethief, who was now iu
the road in front of the house. We oi
l he weaker sex timorously followed a
far as the piazza, valiantly headed hy
ma, who carried for defense ail olu
slipper aud a candle which the wind
extinguished.
Instead of digging rowels into Ned
and galloping off at sight of out
formidable array, the desperado pur
sued his way with uuieeinly leisure.
"Hallo, there! who are you, and
where are you going?" called Ed.
The specter-like figure moved on
without vouchsafing- a word.
"Halt! Who are you, and where are
you going," roared pa.
No answer.
"Hi, eef you no speek I shoot!'
shouted Haus, brandishing the musket
like a club.
ltut even this blood-curdling threat
was received in imperturbable silence,
as man and Initli horses disappeared
around the bend of the road.
We were relieved to learn that Ned
was safe, but ma was rather chagrined
to hear that her led horse had on closet
insptction proved to be a cow. How
ever, it was a suspicious circumstauce
that a strange mau should tie driving
a cow through that lonely district at
midnight. Aud ItTs unaccountable
aversion to speak? We now remem
bered that all through the uproar hi
h id maintained the same uncanny si
lence. The wildest conjectures were
hazarded, but as no satisfactory ex
planation could be given all again re
tired, to await further developments in
the morning.
Everyone was up betimes. Mr. Hay
wood who had discarded her ghostly
habiliments and robed herself in gar
meuts more fitting a modern matron
v A greatly concerned for fear I should
not wish to sleep again on tne ground,
he licgan to look for a tree in which hi
eoul.1 lodge, and ut length discovered
the wide-spreading banyan, who
branches, bending to the ground, takt
root and form new stocks, until thc
not unfrequently cover a space severa
hundred feet in circumference, au.
whose main trunk, if hollowed out
would be large enough for i fa mi 1 3' to
live in. Ascending one of the stocks ti.
the principle crotch Jarvi ne fount
room enough there to stretch htmsell
at full length, and, commending his
soul to his Maker, he lay down aud
went to sleep.
He was awakened in the middle of
the night by the fighting of some wild
lieasts at no great distance, but after
the noise had ceased he again fell
asleep and slept soundly till morning,
w hen he descended, made his break
fast on bananas and resumed his lonely
wanderings.
Aliout noon he came to a cleariug
and saw before him-on a hillside a
small village of rude huts, part bamboo
and part wood, with several of the na
tives moving lazily about. While he
stood looking at them from the edge of
the wood, not decided whether to make
himself known or steal off and continue
his wandurings, he heard a stick- snap
behind him, and, turning round, found
himself confronted ayitli our black, al
most naked, villainous feliows, who
were armed with lows, arrows and
spears, and who. having discovered
him, were stealing up to take him
prisoner. Resistance was out of the
question, for two of the party had
their arrows drawn to the head,
ready to send them through him, and
the others had their spears poised for
the same purpose; and so, anxious to
preserve his life, he held up both hands,
palms outward, in token of peaceful
surrender.
The natives evidently had a whole
some fear of the w hite man; for, liefore
they would approach him. they made
signs that he must lie down and cross
his hands; and when he had done this,
they came up vers' cautiously, with
their weapons all prepared for instant
use. Hut when they finally got hold of
him, and got his hands tied, their fears
all vanished, and they fairly danced
and yelled with delight. They took
him into the village, anil all the inhab
itants, old and young, crowded round
him, dann'iug and singing, and this
made him fear that their joy merely
sprang from their anticipating pleasure
of feasting on his body, which was
doubtless true, for they were really
cannibals.
They now robbed him of everything
he had his wut .-h, knife, keys and a
few trinkets then stripped him of all
his clothes, piece by piece, till he was
perfect'y naked. This done, they shut
him up in one of their huts, tyiug his
feet aud releasing his hands, so that
he could help himself to the food they
placed for him, some stewed goat's
flesh and cassava bread, of which. Ie
ing very hungry, he ate heartily, nol
knowing but it. might be his last meal.
Soon after this the fetich-man a diabolical-looking
fellow, with low fore
head, flat nose, huge mouth and w icked
eyes came in anu examined lum ana
weiitistway. He was uot disturbed again
that day and night, but he slept very
little, thinking of the horrid doom that
he believed was in store for him.
At an early hour next morning he
heard a great noise in the village, and
supposed the natives were preparing
for a feast; and when some of them
came, unliound and led him forth, he
thought his last hour was surely at
hand. To his surprise he found the vil
lage filled with a large Moorish caval
cade, comprised of men, women and
slaves. A rich Moor was making a
journey to the coast, with his harem of
females, all mounted and veiled, his
body-guard of Arabs, all mounted ami
armed, and a large nuiaWr of staves,
of different races, traveling on foot and
driving a herd of cattle aud a number
of beasts of burden.
Jarveue was atouce conducted to the
Moor himself, w ho was a stout, middle
aged mau, superbly mounted on a
thoroughbred, and whose turban, toga,
tunic, trousers and saudals were of the
richest stuffs and glittered with costiy
jewels. The Moor eyed him sharp.y.
addressed him in two languages and
then in French. On hearing his native
tongue, the poor sailor burst into tears,
and piteously begged the other to take
him with him aud restore him to his
country.
"Wilt 3-our countrymen pay a hand
some ransom for you.'" inquire 1 the
Moor, who had only speculation iu
view.
"Oh, yes, your roj-al highness. I'm
sure they will,'' replied Jarveue.
"If not, what then?"
"tiod will reward 3-ou," said the
sailor, solemnly.
"I nevei purchase prisoners with the
view of getting any pay from thai
quarter." rejoined the Moor, with
something like a sneer, "but always
with the expectation that they will be
ransomed, or that I shall sell tln'in for
gain, or that they will more than com
pensate me as slaves. I will buy you,
la-cause 1 think I can make money by
the purchase."
He called up one of his overseers and
ordered him to take Jarveue away, giv
him a cloth for his loins aud put him to
work among the slaves till further no
tice. This saved the poor sailor from
being devoured by negro cannibals.
The cavalcade soon moved forward
and traveled at the rate of about fifteen
or twenty miles a day. At night tents
were put up for the Moor and his house
hold, but the slaves slept in the open
air. The latter were obliged to watch
the cattle till they were done grazing
and then drive them in and secure them
in a pen, which they also had to takt
down and put up every day, so that,
for the most part, they got very little
sleep, and often felt the whip of the
overseer when anything went wrong.
As they drew near the coast, Jarvene,
whose flesh hail more than once tingled
under the lash, determined to effect his
escape; and at last he succcet' d in get
ting past the Arab sentinels and mak
ing his wav into a port where a French
vessel lay, and his country men gladly
gave hiia their protection and bore hi...
from the scene of his troubles back to
his native l.inil. N. V. Ledger.
AN ELASTIC CONSCIENCE.
The Sin of It l-ajr Only In Helng Found
Out With Hir.
The penalty attendant upon being
detected is the entire foundation of
many people's honesty. A woman,
says a w riter in the New York Reeonler,
in whose company I found myself re
cently; was relating with pride an in
stance of her shrewdness. She re
marked as a preface to her story that
anyone wIm expected to pet the better
of her would have to be an early riser.
Said she:
"I went to the theater the other
night and after the play a lady who
sat in front of me asked me if the
umbrella under her chair belonged to
me.
"I said no. and as no one else claimed
it she left it at the Ihix office. It was a
lovely umbrella with a silver handle.
"Well, now the joke begins. Ahouta
week later I went to the theater and
asked if such an article had been found
and if they had it. I described it per
fectly and told when it was lost. I
didn't say it was mine, hut just let
them infer it. It was there still; the
owner hail never called for it proba
bly never knew where it had Wen left.
They handed it out when I had an
swered all their questions, and I'm
that much in.
"I had just as good a right to it as
the theater people, and it looked, after
a week, as if the woman who found it
vasn't going to put in a claim. I'm
going to get a hat with the money I
saved by being wide awake, for 1 in
tended to buy a new umbrella."
Very Strange.
The Sornerville Journal has a story
of little Dorothy, six years old, who,
like other children, is a born egotist.
She went out for a horse car ride with
her aunt. She had her new purse with
her and was very desirous to pay her
own fare, bat her aunt said no. "You
are my guest," she explained to
Dorothy, "so I must pay your fare, but
you may take the ten cents and hand it
to the conductor, if you like." So
Iorothy took the dime and when the
conductor came along she handed it
to h im in the most dignified manner,
lie gave her a quick look, and estimat
ing that she was under the five-year
limit, he rang in only one fare, and
handed back a five-cent piece, which
Dorothy took w ithout a word. "Wasn't
it strange," she asked after she got
home, "the conductor took my fare,
but he didn't charge Aunt Alice any
fare at all?"

DAYS OF THE HOME MADE.
Time When the Fanncr'a Clothee Were
Made at Home.
The cultivation of flax and the man
ufacture of linen were universal in the
early days of New England. Nearly
every bouse in the country had cards
and great wheel and little wheel, reel
and swifts and dye-tub in the kitchen,
and scarn, warping bars and loom in
chamlier or garret. From the "History
of Rochester," X. II., we cull the fol
lowing description:
Every farmer set apart a portion of
his land for flax. It was an indispen
sable crop, and the manufacture of oil
from the seed became a profitable
business.
The flax was carefully pulled up by
the roots and stacked in the field till
thoroughly dry, when the seed was
thrashed out. It was then soaked in
water for several days, and spread on
the ground to be vetted, frosty nights
helping to whiten it.
After a suitable time it was stowed
away till spring, when it was brought
out to be dressed by use of the brake,
the hatchel aud the swingle. Hy this
means the flax was thoroughly bruised
without cutting, and the tow and
coarse, woody parts separated lrom
the finer fibers of true linen. It was
then combed to complete the separa
tion, and was ready for the wives and
daughters to spin and weave into gar
ments. Woolen cloth was also made at home.
The wool was carded into rolls by
hand, and then spun and woven into
cloth.
All garments were likewise made at
home, not only for everyday wear, but
the go-to-meeting dresses of the wom
en and the breeches for the men, even
the suits that the minister wore in
the pulpit and the clothes of repre
sentatives to congress, all were home
made.
The first carding machine was intro
duced by Eliphalet Horne in 1S11. It
caused much excitement in town, and
set the old people to shaking their
heads and asking what the girls would
have to do now.
A MAN OF FEW WORDS.
The
Move! Expedient of
Uun-Rtddee
Itehtor.
He was a man of few words and fewet
d dlars, says the Chicago Post. He
didn't like to be disturbed, and he
didn't like to enter into lengthy ex
planation. When a man came in, took
a seat Wsidw his desk and asked if he
could settle that little account it
wearied him to say: "Really, I'm sorry,
but I haven't got the money to-day."
And when the man suggested that it
had leen running a long time it
wearied him still more to have to say:
"Yes, I know it, but I have been very
short. I'll try to have something for
you next week." There was too much
chance for a man to get pressing and
annoy him by stringing out the inter
view. He tried keeping away from
the otlice at the hour his creditors
usually came, but they changed the
hours of their calls, and he was still
bothered and annoyed by their impor
tunities just when he was busiest.
Then he hit upon a brilliant scheme.
He put in a day puttering around his
desk arranging things, and the follow
ing morning was ready when the first
creditor arrived. lie never looked up
from his work as the oreditor began:
"Could you " He simply pulled a
string aud a placard appeared which
read: "No!" The creditor walked sad
ly away without finishing the sentence.
He even forgot to ask when he should
call again. For three weeks now no
creditor has received a verbal answer
and the young man siTys it is a great
relief. He can answer their questions
without stopping his work, and the
placard has a discouraging effect that
makes them leave the sooner. His 011I3
mistake has been when a man entered
hurriedly aud began: "Would you
like " He pulled the placard into
view and the man replied: "Oh, very
well; I am in no hurry, if you are not."
He looked up just in time to see that it
was a man who owed him five dollars,
but it was too late to catch him.
SO DREADFULLY CANDID.
Woe of the Writer or ArtUt Who Hu a
I'laln-Spoken Friend.
Do you write? Oh, how your candid
friend shakes his head over your last
novel or play, or whatever it is, says
All The Year Round. You are not
doing nearly such good work as you
did two years ago, and he mutters
about decaying powers and writing
yourself out, till, like Henry II., you
groan: "Who will rid me of this man?
Perhaps you fancy you can paint, in
whiclrcase hanging committees, buyers,
critics and dealers are not the most
savage lions in your path if you happen
to be blessed with a candid friend.
The worst of it is, the man is a friend
and will do you a good turn if he can
of course without much trouble to him
self, also to a certain extent he knows
what he is talking about, so that you
are bound to have some respect for his
opinion. He begins by gently prancing
around your work rather in the man
ner of the commencement of a Sioux
war dance.
You grow anxious, and losing your
h ad, in a moment of temporary aber
ration you ask his opinion. Whoop!
You've got it. Your shadows are
opaque and your lights pasty, your
drawing is weak and your technique
bad; your color is crude and the whole
thing out of tone, and at the end the
sum and substance of it all is that if
he the candid friend painted as
Inully as you do, he would never touch
a brush again as long as he lived.
"Hope I haven't hurt you, old fellow,
but you would ask my candid opinion,
so I was bound to give it to you," he
nay.
STRANGELY CHRISTENED.
Sou Instance of the Queer Nausea CI Tea
to Negro Children.
It is nothing new that the colored
people of the south are as fond of large
names as of bright colors, but the St.
Louis (i lobe-Democrat furnishes two
or three new and comical examples.
The writer says:
I knew an old negro in Tennessee
who rejoices in the name of Niagara
Falls. His companions have shortened
it to Nigger Falls, but he was really
christened after the great cataract.
I also knew a colored woman who
proudly tells you that her name is
Virginia Oeorgia Alabama South.
Another, who enjoys the cognomen of
Amanda June Day is a school-teacher,
and signs her name A. June Day.
In a Mississippi town 1 was passing
along a side street, when a coal-black
negress came out of a door shouting:
"C.lory! Glory Hallelujah!" I thought
she was crazy, and stopped to see what
she would do next.
She looked around a moment, and
then repeated her call, louder than be
fore. This time I beard the answer
from behind a fence.
"Yere I is, ma'am. What yo want?"
"Nebber you min what I want; you
come here."
Immediately there appeared from
behind the fence one of the blackest
piccaninnies I ever saw, and on inquiry
1 learned that bis name was Glory
Hallelujah Jones.
