' An accident of the ellmllng-hlRh-iiiuuntain kind deserves mention cliiwly for iU novelty In these parts. Two women and a male escoi t were on thfir way to the yesterday afternoon, circus. They cut cross fields In ait attempt to lessen the distance to the grounds and one of the ways traversed was through the space of land In the rear of the Potvderiy home and other houses on North Main avenue. They sauntered along the edge of the 30-foot embank ment on the westerly side of the Dela ware, l-ackawanna and Western rail road. One woman slipped her foot, she Kralted the other woman who. in turn collared the man. Then the trio began a downward tumble. They rolled In all shapes and the Journey was not ended until the level ground Interfered with an unspeakable ban. Luckily there vera no serious hints only a few trulses. CiONE, I5UT NOT FOREVER.

From the St. Louis Republic.; Th atmosphere In the vicinity of the Cupe of oud Hope has that peculiar power of unequal refraction which pro duces the spectral mirages so well known to the early settlers on the great plains nr.d to all trav lers and explor ers In desert regions. This unequal blending of the rays of the rays of the light fives vise to what tire known as "spectral looming." by which is meant the apparent suspension of uhips and other objwts In midair. Tim peculiar properties of the atmosphere over that portion of the ocean mentioned have been known since men first "rounded the tape" in their voyages from western Europe to the Indies, nnd the regulnr appearance of the mirage at thatn point Is responsible for the legend of the "Death Ship," otherwise known as the "Flying Dutchman." According to the story, a Dutch cap tain, homeward bound from the East Indies, met with long-continued bad weather while trying to "round the cape." This series of squalls aws coupled with other circumstances which made "turning the cape" next to im possible. The wind was "dead ahead" und the weather was dark and foggy. At the time when the brave little Dutch captain was making a final ef fort to get off in a northwesterly direc tion, und was ubout to make a failure of it, the mate and the sailors advised him to turn buck and seek shelter In a neighboring hurbor until the gale was over. But this he refused to do, swear ing that he Intended to "turn the cape" If he had to beat back and forth along that shore until the day of Judgment. For this burst of profanity, so the tra dition says, he wns doomed to steer against the blustery winds forever. The sails of his rhv, so those who be lieve In the legend say, have become bleached with aire, and its sides and bottom worm-eaten and decaved In the long struggle which has ever since been kept up between the cursed vessel and the elemnts. The little Dutch captain and his crew, like all persons living under a spell, continue to exist, know lug their condition, but unable to help themselves. Ship captains who have sighted the doomed vessel time and again during the past century and a half report that the crew of the cursed Dutch vessel appear to be living skele tons. Yet they continue to live under the bllifhting effects of what was brought on by their master's rashness. They cannot lower a boat they are so weak. Yet they occasionally hail pass ing vessels, Imploring to be rescued from their awful fate. Such Is the story of the "Flying Dutchman," which, no doubt, origin ated through Ignorant, superstitious sailors vieiwng the mirage in awe stricken terror.

Lord Dufferln once addressed the University of Toronto In Greek and on the following day. the Canadian Jour nals announced that his command of the language was astounding, idiomatic and grammatically perfect. Whereon the following dialogue ensued: "How did those Idiots of reporters know that?" asked Sir Hector Longe vln of Sir John MacDonald. "Because I told them," replied Sir John. "But who told you? You don't know Greek," persisted Sir Hector. "I don't know Greek," admlttel the premier, with his usual gravity, "but I know politics." II II ii It was late In the evening and the young professor of physiology ought to Iiuve known enough about the human system and the functions of society to go home, but he didn't or If he did he wns not putting his knowledge to much use. The girl in the meantime was do lug the best she could uuder the circum stances. . "You see, Miss Frances." he was say irtj as the clock struck, eleven, "If from any cause the brain is unduly, stimu lated, whether by emotion, thought or external impression on the one hand or by the acceleration of the blood cur rent and increased blood supply through the cerebral veraels, then the supervention of sleep will be delayed and possibly prevented for a prolonged period." i "Yes," she responded with feeling, "but, you see, mine isn't that way." II II The cases where height and breadth are not of advantage to their possessor are rare but they do exist, as, for ex ample, was shown the other day In a law case where a workman sued his em ployer for damage for what may well be called false Imprisonment. He was engaged In alterations In a house, the front door of which was locked before his day's work was done and the means of exit confined to a wicket gate which did not admit his noble proportions. The position was absurd but no doubt very convenient. How long hli incar ceration lasted or whether ne was fed through the wicket gate us from a but ter hatch does not appear, but ho got no reuress. jjoors, it reems, were not con structed for obesity but only for per sons of moderate girth and stature. This reminds one of Sydney Smith's test of the possession of humor, a story wherein he who sees no fun, lie says, has no sense of It. Some foolish tier sous after making a number of dull observations Inquired of his companion why the posts had recently been placed nearer together. "Well," replied the other. "It was high time; you have no Idea what fat people used to get into that park." II E GATE THEM A PUZZLE. A Considerate Drummer Finds Some thing Interesting to Think About. W. A. Robertson In Texas Siftings. The drummer had spent a few hours very pleasantly with the members of the Doolittlc Club. He rose to go, and after shaking hands affectionately with the various members and expressing his warm attachment to the club and promising faithfully to return again in the course of a couple of weeks, "By the way," said he, "If any of you wish to remember me specially during my ab sence, I have a rather peculiar little puzzle here a simple little thing of my own make which you might find Inter esting in your leisure moments," and he gave them the peculiar little puzzle of his own make and left them cheer fully. The club immediately concentrated Itself upon the puzzle. It finished the day at the puzzle, remarking as It did so that "that was a good puzzle, all right," but nevertheless, confident of success. The following day was simi larly employed, and with similar re sults. Another day and another came and was gone; a week rolled away and, though the members of the club were Incessant in their labors upon the puz zle. It was still unsolved. Another week began. Some of the members had now become so Interested and de termined that they scarcely left for meals; but the puzzle still held out. The week drew towards a close. Some of the cluh hurl not slant fn thM. nik. The drummer returned. They were ami naru at worn upon tne puzzle. "Very Interesting puzzle, isn't It?" he remarked. , - .. . w . -. tl.Vll shoulders.

"Well," said the same man, "I don't thlnk the thing really can be done, any- "Don't you?" remarked the drummer thoughtfully. "No, I don't." "Well, that's Just what I think about It, too," coolly remarked the drummer, as he ambled toward the door In haste.

New York. May 2S. It was another dull and uninteresting day at the Stock Ex change. Transactions were only 101,175 aharea and of this Sugar, which was the moat active stock, figured for 31.700 shares; St. Paul for 11.M0; Manhattan for (.(uO. and Burlington and Quincy for 6.4UO. At the outset the market was Inclined to weak ness, and prices receded about HH per cent., lower prices from London having led to moderate sales for the short account by local traders, who, for the moment, were arrayed on the bear side. The argu ments advanced by those working for a decline were the continued decline In the prices of wheat, lard, pork and other pro ducts: the likelihood of further engage ments of gold for export to Europe on Thursday and Saturday and the efforts making in the senate to change the mat. ter of oond Issues now In control of the treasury department. The low prices pre vailing for products waa much discussed in stock circles and houses with Chicago connections, comparatively speaking, were fairly large sellers of the Grangers fur this aeason. It Is to be said, 'however, that the actual owners of securities are not disturbed on account of the liquidations hi wheat, corn and provisions and the low record prices made, and held on to their securities, notwithstanding the efforts of the shorts to dislodge long stock. Sugar, which was the leader in point of activity, first declined to 111, and then rose to and clo.vd at 1!3, a net gain of IS per cent, for the duy. The recovery was due to purchases by Washington firms who were liberal sellers a little while ago In the neighborhood of 125. Manhattan, a fa vorite of the traders In the board, opened slightly higher, then dropped to 102. and later recovered to 103?fc. Leather, Pre ferred, sold off slightly on the announce, ment that action on the dividend had been postponed on account of the absence of several members of the executive com mittee, speculation closed Arm in tone under the leudership of Sugar, which ruled at the best figures of the day In the final transaction!!.
