"Now, I do not think your experi ence was half so remarkable a.s one of mine.'' said flillx'it Dane, the well known actor and lfianngvr of the How ard theater, who happened to be tin re that, night. Dane is not a member of The Thirty-nine, but bad come with Miicpherson. Most of the brain spe cialist's friends are in the profession, a fact w hich i-s K-rh.ips due to the year -which he himself spent on the stage as a young man. "My story lieg-ins prosaically." said the iict.ir. when we begged to hear il. "I lost the latchkey with which I let myself into the theater, ami took some body else's to the locksmith's to have a duplicate made. I agreed to call fori! the following morning as I was going up to tow n for reheat sill.

It was mov ing when I reached t hY plat foi in. and I h::d to run for the only compartment of which the door was open, near the end of the train. "The compartment contained two other passengers, but if I glanced at them at all, I noticed nol hiug except that each was pretty well hidden lic hind a daily paer.

It was myself complete in every detail of face anil at tire." "An optical delusion, I stipp-ose?" I suggested; and the actor shook his head. "No; that was the first idea that oc curred to mi- that I had liecn working and ivurrj ing' too much over the new play, and my brain had played me a trick. The unconcerned way in which the third man glanced at tnc cncotir nged me in the liel'ief. for the bkeness. iiuli-ss I was imagining- it, was enough to attract instant attention.

"I U-pan to wonder then, not whether the man at the window was a reality, but whether I was reality myself, and il certainly would not have surprised me if I had looked in a mirror and found it reflect back a face that was un familiar to me. It is strange how ;u:c-Yv a sin7le phenomenon will some time change all one's fixed opinions on a subject of the supernatural.

" 'Kxcuse me, I said, adtlrcssing him. ,but I heard your friend just call yon "Mr. Dane."

"It was he. of course, who called for the latchkey in the morning?" "Yes; he hail been in the shop when I ordered it. and the fact finally deter mined him to carry out theaffair.whVh he had been pondering for some time." "Put he must have haunted you like a shadow beforehand." put in Maj. Den nett, "to learn all your gestures and that. Dshotild hardly think the result was worth the trouble." Macphcrson. who had leen sitting quietly in the background, surprised us by replying for his friend. "Flxcuse me. major," he said, in his usual quiet way, "but you make a m;s take there. Any man would have been plail to five ion down for the engage ment which Dane offered me straight way.

Porf .rmod by tha Champioa Swim mer of Australia. lie Swims Across the iiolden Oale mt Siian t-raneiseo In One Hour null Fifteen Mknutea Against the Tide. The most imjiorteuit feat in swim ming in the history of lhceoiist.asac-coiiiplislu-.d recently by Charles Cavill, the champion swim Die-r of Au-;ralia. Cavdl managed tobnast titles and cur icnts lK-tween Kort Point mid th? .:ar in i-our.ty shore and wain rTletoss the (iohlen (iate. It was 3: 3i o'clock when Cavill left Devil's Point, and just 1 hour ami 15 ininut.i later he touched the rocks about 2;0 yards seaward from I'ott Win field Scott, havii.g cov cretl u tlistane-e, as tlie crow Hies, of over 1 '., mile.'i. The Australiaai's jierformanee drew a big crowd. The shore alnnit I-'ort Point was lineal with people and 1 he waters in the gate were creovded with Muall craft of every description. The ferry Imw! Sausalito had a place in the stream w-it.h almost a thousand jieople aboard. I'roiu a swimmer's stand Mint the day was an itleal one. The watir was as smooth as could be dtslrrtl, itssuifaci only rippled by tlie curling edges of th bmg s-wtlls that came a. m the ocean. Theie was a : llgjit wind bliwlng, but it was not s-hroiig enough to kick up any dist urhance. Cavill left the Sausalito when tlx-boat arrived in midstream off Lime Point. He liad as coin pan ions Aikdph Kahn, the high d ver of th-; Crd'foir.ia Swim m ng club, and I'rcf. K .'lick, of the f-'utro baths life saving crew.

Cavill wore tlw? regulation tights. lie dipK-d into the wati r tas-lly and natur ally, and staitrd for the San Francisco shore with energy, Killick and Kahn and the Dolphin crew accompanying him in Ix ats. The swimmer b el otT with a long, easy, right-ide stroke, and for the first f.-w bundled yards of the course tlie way was easy and his ju-e was i a ed. About a ipiarter of a mile from shore the Australian encountered what he says was the swiftest current he ever met. The tide had turned since he left the fctrry.and was now muring through the channel with the sieed of a mill race. The ripples loared like a miniature sea anl thtcatcned to engulf the lioat-s. Cavill struck into it bravely, and at tempted to stay its progress by turning- his face towarel Sausalito and swim ming north. The rowers in the boat attempted similir tactics, but the rush of waters toward tlie ocean, carried everything w :th it. Seeing that it was u.sr!cs to attempt to withstand the force of the tide Cavill tlrifted with it. He was carried out almost to the Heads liefore he encountered the counter currents on the Presidio shore. The eddy oppiosite Poiut Ixilios caught him in its grip and whirled him back again toward the lay. From this time on Cavill's work was comiaratively easy. He swam leisurely and easily toward the fort, followed by half a hundred loafs and tugs. A half a mile from the landing; point he. picked up an old felt lvat that was lbntiijp' in the water and put it tn his h.--p.d, much to the amuse ment of t he eiM-tators. As he Jicared the sJiore Cavill in crease J his speed. The Dolphin crew rand a boat from the life-saving service e "erred the way. There was a long, i.low swell smashing-against the roe-ks, and on top of one of these breakers Cavill landed curdy. There was a great crowd awaiting bis arrival, and as tlie swimmer walked up the beach he was given, an ovation by everything and cverylxxly, from the small boy eiu the fort arapcts to the big whistle of the steamer Sausalito. Cavill returned to I he water almost immediately and swam to the Dolphin elnb"s bout, from which he was transferred to the Sausalito. Cavill's crformHnoe adds a new notch to the swimming- record of tlie i-east- Tlae time sjien.t in centering the distance is remarkably short, consid ering contrary tides and currents and tlie fact that he was carried almost a mile out of his course. Throughout he swam on his right side, using a side st roke. At the finish he was almost as fresh as when he started. The water was cold, and when he touclied shore after his long swim his right arm and leg were benumbed to the point of use lcssness. The swimmer's physical dimensions are: Height. 5 feet lo inches; weight, 10 pounds; chest measurement, 4.1 inches, with the phenomenal expansion of 9-';i inches. He is t he son of Prof. Fred Cavill, of llngland, who swam across the Knglish channel in 11 hours, mak ing si wor Ill's record. Sajt Francisco Chronicle. NOVELTIES IN AMERICA.

"Lt me give you an example." sail the drummer, seating himself comfort r.hly. "Not sti many years ago I had a friend who was anxious to buy a photo graph gallery in a southern city, and having quite a solid little wad of wealth he was prepared tei supply himself w ith something handsome. Heing a first class artist as well, he knew that when he did get what he wanted he would know w hat to do w ith it.

"There is co alauger in eating soft--ditlletl crabs." observed an epicure, -if they are fresh, lmt they are poison if they are not. They should lie well sea soned, and an extra lot of jaepper put on them as a precautiem. esjiecially if the weather is very hot when they are a-aten. or if they are eaten shortly 1 e fore one retires. It is the habit of many Hi-sons to eat sof t-shcilatl rr'. at night time. I alo not know but that they taste laetta-r then. It is somewhat dau-ga-rous to many toalrink milk after eat ing crabs. Milk seems to develop the ca.lic that follows eating sof t-t has lied crabs with some jiersams. "Another thing that should le re meudaered. and that is that a sharp thunderstorm will kill soft-thellild crabs, and even the hard-ahelled eraiis at times. I'nless the soft -shelled crab had been eoaikeal lia-fore the thunder storm. 1 think the safer plan would be to decline t eat it. I'nder U other conditions there is no danger in jiartak ing of thejn, for I ik ntt think anyone would be criminal enough to cook a dead crab, h-ird or soft shell. The roper way to kill a crab is to throw h5m into a kettle of laoiling water. I know thlt some aople think this is ciuel. but it is no mere cruel than to stab them with a ne-edk or kill them w ith chloroform, as I have known saJama extra seusitiie jiersons to do."
