' 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.

THE FLYING DUTCHMAN.
The Mirage Probably the Origin of
the Well-Know n Sea Story.
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.

SHORT STORIES.
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."

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

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review.
New York. May 2S. It was another dull

outset the market was Inclined to weak
ness, and prices receded about HH per

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

Thursday and Saturday and the efforts

the actual owners of securities are not
disturbed on account of the liquidations

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
