END OF THE VOYAGE..
tLbr. .J u lt.utr.1 Sltiu with Mu-a
l'ouin mud Ceremony.
A woman who lately crossed to Eu
roH' for the tirst time write-home of
the pleasant jkiinp and ceremony w ith
which the end of the v.iyajre is cele
brated on the last uio-ht out.
'"It seems," she says, "that it is always
customary, m thetiermau line, at least,
and probably on to have an csjh
cially elaborate dinner just before ar-rivin-r
in Southampton, which is called
the "captain's" dinner. Kvery one is
supposed t.i order wine and drink to
the health of the captain, while he re
sMinds. toasting' the health and safe
journeyinn-s of his pas.scu--ers. When
we came to the table we found it deco
rated with li- elaborate cakes four
stories hi-rli. v....i little American ami
lo-rn tan llars stuck on all sides, and
little paper ornaments - truly o i inan.
We went throiio-h a most ,-laloratc
menu, ami when we eame to dessert,
the waiters suddenly disap-icurcil. the
li.iis'.c slop-ied and the lights went out.
A hush and sense of c.xiectancy fell
tikiii the company. Suddenly the
music started a lively march, the il.k.rs
ojM iie.l and the waiters apk-ari-d. liear
iujr trays. On ea.-h was a round -.'!. be
of rice pa-ier with a.lio-ht inside, and
around this sat small Japanese lijrurcs
made of ice cream, each holding in his
arms a little umbrella of liht colored
p.iMr. The rikii.i wa . in-rfectly dark,
and the effect as t he waiters marched
around and around, forming' ditr.-r.-ut
tiirures and iH-arin; their illuminated
burdens, w as novel and interest iu-r.
Kvery ImnIv elapnt and eh -crcd. Then
the lio-hts were turned on and we ate
the ice-cream men and kept the um
brellas as souvenirs. It was a capu..n's
dinner. thoii-.'h without a captain, for
we chanced to be passing' at the time
throujj-h ;i very daii-rcroiis place, and he
could not leave his just on the bridge."
THE TRIPLE SOMERSAULT.
It la the Mokt InllUutt of All Afrobattlc
1 cila
Tlie most ditlicult acrobatic feat in
the world is to throw a triple somer
sault. The double is comparat ively
cas ; but to describe three cinpli le
cii.-lcs iu tin- air with the lk.iy is a
bi'o-er f.at than the most expert acro
bat ,.f to-day cares to undertake. Only
three men have as yet accomplished it.
although do.. -us have lost their lives iu
making the attempt. To perform a
triple somersault one would, of course,
have to jump from a spring board hi(,'h
eiiouo-h to be able to turn three times
before ali'htiuo:, aud probably no
n-yu.iiast has suiliciciit jiowcr to leap
hio-ln-r than is necessary to accomplish
a ouble somersault. sas au e.xchani.'e.
l'lie heiji.t is not the only trouble.
If it were lcapi!!-.' experts, by improved
appliances and practice, would over
come ii.at ditliculty. Hut after the
body has turned twice the k-rlormer
loses ent r.il of it and the iat. of oravi
tatioi. oV rcoii.es Inklily tlexterily. His
head bciii-' heavier than his feet, he is
apt to ah-lit ..ii it tirst and break his
neck. ine of the three acrobats ulm
have already accomplished the jrrcat
feat refused to try it a-.'ain. bein-r as
sured that his alihtiuir on his feet was
an accident, as he could not control his
lkkly after turniiio; the second time.
Another undertook the feat for a wagvr
of one hundred dollars.
I u the first attempt he turned three
times. but alighted on his hands.
Kv.-rylkkly was satisfied with the result
ami the ...oii.-y was tendered him. He
proudly refused it. savin-.- that tin feat
had not been perfectly accompli died,
and that he would repeat il and iili'ht
UIk.il his feet before he felt justified in
taking the one hundred dollars. II.
did attempt to repeat it. but fell on his
head, dishk-atino; his neck.
NO DISEASE IN BANKNOTES.
Tlie IliaiidlinK of lHrty Moony Not at AU
iaaiKeru.
There is no plaee in the world where
more dirty money is handled from lay
tinl.iv than iu the national hank re
dcmntioii division if the treasury de
partment. There are in existence some
thirt v-tive hundred national banks, i-aili
of which has outstanilino: bank notes
raii-'iiir iu amount from two or twelve
thousand dollars up to nearly half a
million. Kvery dollar of these notes
passes throuirii the hands of the men
and women employed iu the national
bank redemption division. This oiliee
has lieen iu existence now for alkiut
thirty years. There are employed in
the division somewhere alkiut twenty
tive jrirls ami women. They handle
"untold millions" of bills iu the course
of a year, and if there was any . lander
from contagious and infectious diseases
iu old banknotes it would seem as
tlioiij-'h this would be the place to find
symptoms.
Yet Mr. Uooers. who has liccii chief
of the division for ten years, and w ho
has been connected with it since it was
orj'ani.ed. assured a Washington Tost
Kx press cor res p indent the other day
that there has never Wen a ease of in
fectious or coiitairious disease con
tracted by one of the employes of his
otlice. Kverv one of them handles the
hills sent in for redemption. They are
counted and sorted time after time.
They are the dirtiest specimens of
money to be found in the country.
Moth flayed alth Fire.
At a recent -Lratheriujr of notable men
the afterMiinner chat turned upon per
sonal experiences, aud a distinguished
jurist related this:
After -.'raduation, he nii-rrated to a
western tow u; months of idleness, with
no prospect of improvement, induced
him to seek a new home. Without
money to pay his fare, he hoarded a
train for Nashville, intending: to seek
employment as reporter on one of the
da.l y newspapers. When the conductor
called for his ticket, he said:
"I am on the stall of the , of
Nashville; I suppose you will pass me?"
The conductor looked at him sharply.
"The editor of that a per is in the
smoker; come with me; if he identities
you. all rij,'ht."
He followed the conductor into the
smoker; the situation was explained.
Mr. Kditor said:
"till, yes; 1 recognize him as one of
the staff; it is all ri-rht.'"
Hefore leaving the train, the lawyer
ajain sought the editor:
" hy did you say you recopuized me?
I'm not on the paper."
"I am not the editor, either. I'm
traveling on his pass, and was scared to
death lest you should give me away."

SLAVEKY IN AFRICA.
Vo. uta.rll) Take tte Yoke to .--
ape tttiart'atioo.
In an account of famine prevalent in
Africa cabled to this country the other
day it was stated that men were sell in-
themselves, their wives an.l children in
to slavery to insure themselves fkd iu
return, and that whole villages had
voluntarily taken the yoke to es.aK
starvation. The incident illustrates
anew one of the conditions w hich first
introduced ami have Ion- sustained
-Afri can slavery. Ami slavery, says an
ex-consul iu the Boston Transcript, is
not confined to the mountains and val
leys of British Central -Africa.
The truth is. the condition is com
mon to all Africa, from north of Sci.c--umbia
to far south of the M..ssaiin-.l--s
river. In other words, it may W said
that slavery is an institution in Africa
wherever fetich or aiiH-rsit ion is an in
fluence aud improvidence a practice.
There are but few trilies whose mem
bers have not some dcjrce of skill iu
the manufacturing of rude arieult ural
implements which they use in the cul
tivation of rice, sweet jkitat.k-s. e-uinca
corn, and other staples indigenous to
their soil. These pr.kiucts are raised
in quantities sufficient ly lar-.'.. if eco
nomically used, to meet all neccssary
needs, but economy is soim-thin to
them unknown; on the contrary, im
providence is the rule, with the result
that when a season of droujht arrives
their -granaries skii )ecouie cmptv
aud famine takes ikisscssion of the land.
It is during' this k-ri.kl of sutferino
that thousands of savajcs leome
slaves. The chiefs, the head men. the
stroii-, the jkiwerful. in order that th.-ir
own lives may W preserved, sei.e the
weak and helpless ami sell them into
blavery. In this way they renew their
exhausted -raiiaries with treasures . .f
(rain, and at the same time reduce the
liuml-er of consumers. It is M-rt incut
to state rirht here that since tlie inter
ruption of the slavery trade l-twe.-n
Africa and America, the market for the
bale of slaves Win- ditlicult for the
West Africau triWs to reach, it fre
quently happens that those who in
former times would have been sold are
now killed.
The improvidence which so often is
the cause of their sutferin- is displayed
iu all their doii.js. Not a sin-zle act is
performed without the praetieins of
some su-K-rst itious rite aecoinpani.sl
with revelry and rcat waste, even the
sow iu-r of their farms with -rain Win-
no exception.
CRUELTY TO A CORONER.

The police of I Vuhishire are a (race

proer pr.k-cc.liui.'. But Mr. Kvans i
n.it an ordinary citizen, and he sp.-.-.liiv
reminded the chief constable of the
fact.
"I am, as you are aware." wr.it. Mr.
Kvans, "one of her majesty's coroners
of this county. By virtue of my ot!i.-e 1
am also a magistrate for the county.
1 Hi you suppose it can do the kli.-eanv

I am no more rcs-k-usiblc than you
are? I come into almost daily relation

of my official duties as coroner. Hith
erto this relationship has been a pleas
ant one and freed from any friction. Is
it wise on your part to create a i.-eiiii!
of a trievance on my part and "bad
blood oil both sides?" -
This is sutlicicnt to show the coroner's
sense of dignity aud calm ju.li.-ial
temper, hut there was a further hint
that, if the summons were proceeded
with he mifht make thinirs disajrcc
able for the police. Instead of try in-
to appease the atTronte.l otlicial. the
chief constable replied that he consid
ered the letter "iu the worst possible
taste." "The police." he added, "can
not favor one and punish another."
However, the magistrates can and
they dismissed the summons.
