teals travel tip on the beach to rear their

Well, they were to stay there until
the schooner returned, which would be
Jn ten days at iiiipl. So t-n days' pro
visions were given them, and when ten
days had expired the men did not know
but the vessel was lost. So they took in
their boat the car-aws of sea's and
Ftarted for Potter's cove, 2 mile away,
tvhere they expected to find the bark

For a shelter they got an old try works

what cold possible, and with snow for
blankets they lived the winter throngh.
I.i the spring they concluded to go
back to Ciipe Sheriff and kill all the
seals they could before the vess-la be
gau to arrive. Then they would make
some bargain to take home the skins.
So, without any xrovL-ious, they started
back, but on going out the straits they

they arrived then at Cae Sheriff. After
ward they killed seals and spread
their skins on the snow to keep them
from heatin;. but what bccauio of them
will never be known. It was stipji-ised
that they undertook to cross the straits,
but could not manage the boat. How
ever, they were lost. Now alout those
four that stayed at the Cove I remem-lx-r
two of their names, but have for
gotten the others. One was an Indian

tauk his List name was Uarby and
one y the name of James King, who
was eventually the only survivor of the
teven, and his tale of snffering was ter
rible. He had to kill and tat the other
three men. They were nothing but
skir and bones anyway, and he could
not have survived more thau one day
more had we not found him as we did.
We buried the remains of the others
in the snow. King then went on board
of the bark Nile, and from her he went
on board of the schooner Z.P.Simons
and came to New London, where he
Railed from. He sued the company, but
filially he gave it up and cleared out no

Yes, there is a sign of vegetation: what

The many variations as to the pronun

some queer misunderstandings and lu

But the man was still in the dark, so
he stepped into a corner drug store and

liceman. "Mr. J lives on Geety street."
"Where is that place?"
"Just eleven blocks north of here."
A Wells street car boon covered the
eleven blocks and Goetho street wa

A "TRUE GENTLEMAN.
George William CnrtU' Treatment af am
Ambition Vonng Reporter.
Some sixteen or seventeen years ago I
was a rertorter on on? of the Chicago
paX?ri I had only lcn a little while in
the business, and I was both green and
ambitions. Now it happened that a
art of my work was to visit the varions
fcotels every evening in the search for
personal items, the arrival cf will
known people and the l:ke. It was not
work of the highest order, but I put my
heart in it and really think that I did it
welL One evening I was standing in the
office of a certain hotel, which for the
purposes of this story need not be pre
cisely identified, when I observed a
Lamisome, distinguished looking gentle
man enter, walk up to the desk and
register.
As he turned to say a word or two to
the clerk I stepped np behind him and
saw what be bad written on the register.
It was "George William Curtis, New
York." I knew that Mr. Curtis was
advertised to lecture on the following
evening, and it occurred to me that it
would be a good thing if I could get aa
interview for my taper with such a dis
tinguished man. You see what an
ardent beginner in newspaper work I
was. In fact, I was full of western en
thusiasm, and I was cot lacking in
check. So when Mr. Curtis turned
away from the dcik I summoned cp all
my courage and it did require consider
able and accosted him.
"Mr. Curtis," sail I, "I am a reporter
for The .and I thought that perhaps
you might have something to say that
would be of interest to the people of
Chicago."
He turned and looked at me in the
kindliest way. I shall never forget the
geniality and good nature that beamed
upon me from his eyes and his whole
face nor the answer which he made to
my suggestion.
"Ah," said he with the most beauti
ful smile that I ever saw, "then you and
I belong to the same profession."
What could have Ixvn more thought
ful and considerate to the raw young re
porter? It has always seemed to me that
there could not have been anything said
better calculated to relieve my embar
rassment and make me feel at home. At
the same time I never could get rid of
the impression that my answer wad al
ni'jst as good as his renrirk.
Yes," said I, "Mr. Curtis, you are at
one end of it and I am at the other."
Of course he laughed right heartily at
my sally, and instantly we seemed on
the best of terms. Well, all he had to
tell me was that be was on a lecture
t ur ad that he would speak in Chicago
the next evening. He was very willing
to tell me where he. was going I sup
pose he saw no objection to advertising
himself in that way and after a few
minutes' pleasant chat I took n:y leave,
Mr. Curtis givinz me a most gracious
"good niglit." The result was about a
stickful in The the next morning.
That was the only time I ever saw
George William Curtis in my life. It is
a matter of deep regret to me, now that
he is gone, that I never went to hear
him lectnre. New York Tribune.
The Origin of the ISrant Goom.
Cambrensus, who wrote a great work
n the "Topogniliv t f Ireland," tells
what he knows about the wonderful
barnacle or brant goose, as follows:
"They are like marsh gi-ese, but some
what smaller, and are produced from
lir timber tossed along the seashore. At
first they are like gum; afterward they
hang down by their beaks as from a sea
weed attached to the timber. Having
in the course of time leu clothed with
a goodly coat of feathers, they either
fall into the water or fly freely away
into the air. I have frequently seen with
my own eyes more than a thousand of
those email bodies of birds hanging down
on the seashore froin a piece of timlx-r,
each inclosed in shells already formed.
They do not breed and lay eggs like
other birds do, nor do they ever hatch
any eggs, nor do they build nests iu any
corner of the earth. For this reason
foisting bishops and priests eat them be
cause they are not flesh nor born of
flesh." Taken ail in all the above is one
of the most remarkable ornithological
opinions ever entertained. St. Louis

" The Dinner Honr la HUtory.
It is believed by some that the word

word dixheures, indicating the time at
which in the old Norman days this
meal was taken. The more i lea of hav

probability, send a modern chef into a

from a Northumberland household book,
bearing date 1512, we learn that the

at 10, supped at 4, and shut the gates at

Speaking generally, though the dinner

not dine till 12, while his contempora

A Skeleton Storjr.
Dr. W. S. Howell, brother of the
editor of the Vienna Progress, had a
rkelcton in a box. One day be pulled
out the ugly, ghastly, grinning skull
end began to handle it. Fiually ho de
cided that he wanted that skull opened
so that be could study tho inside struc
ture. There being several seams in the
rknll be decided to til the skull with
j-eas and soak them in water, thinking
that they would force the seams apart.
He aked the editor to help Lira, and
the latter poured peas and water into
the hollow bone and corked up the eye
and nose holes to keep them from run
ting out. Sotne time after tho editor
was startled to see that peas had sprouted
in the skull and the vines were of most
wonderful growth. Out of tho hole
where tho backUtne is joined to the
neck an army of little vines had grown,
and by some unknown instinctive power
they Lad twined iu and throngh all the
bones of that l ly.
The young tendrils had wrapped
around the stovepipe and table legs and
the whole skeleton had been reared up
ward in the middle of the room. From
the nostrils and eyes vines were stream
ing that had clustered around and upon
the presses, stands and tables, and from
ach joint hung a pod in likeness of a
small skull, the exact counterpart of the
large one. It is rumored that when the
editor beheld these things he left the
offico by the window route, and the
skeleton is still in full editorial control.

The American Ax Helve.
All tho world admires and wonders at
the American ax helve. The American
ax fitted with that ingeniously curved
and gracefully fashioned handle Is a
marvelously effective weapon, vastly
more apt for its purposes than the
straight bandied headsman's ax with
which the Italian fells trees, or tho
broad faced hatchet used for the same
purpose in France. Tho American ax
helve is just what might have been ex
pected of an inventive peoplo laden with
the duty of conquering and civilizing a
forest clad continent. The world had
liecn using the ax since prehistoric times,
but it remained for the American pioneer
to fashion the ideal ax handle, at once
light, strong and elastic. The ax such
as is familiar to all Americans is rare iu
Europe, and it sells in all the British
colonies as the American ax. New York

Cylinder and Choked Rarrel.
I am acquainted with a gentleman
who has conceived the idea that the
best all around gun is one weighing
seven and a half pounds, with right bar
rel a perfect cylinder and left barrel full
choked. So convinced was he that such
a gun was the best for general game
shooting that he ordered a Colt gun
built thus for the present season's shoot,
in p.
This gentleman claimed that by the
use of the cylinder barrel he could shoot
woodcock in the brush, also ruffed
grouse, and have the left barrel for long
shot, such as plover, snipe or duck.
It is now several weeks since the shore
bird season ojiened, aud considerable
shooting has been done with thia gun.
Almost every day this gun has been used
a long shot letweeu forty and sixty
yards has been taken and a bird killed.
"AhT the gunner would exclaim, "there
is nothing like a full choked gun to
reach a bird at long range."" Then, as
he opened the gun to insert a fresh car
tridge, would be heard these words:
"Great Scott! Tve shot the cylinder in
stead of the choked barrel!" The sports
man still argues that tho full choked
gun is the projer gun for shots beyond
twenty-live yards, but almost daily
when shooting he accidentally fires th'r
wrong barrel and kills birds clean at
forty yards and sometimes at a longer
distance. Shooting and Fishing.
Burned Bit Kara to Kill a Snake.
Some time ago, when Choulcfs men
agerie passed throngh Crawford county,
a boa constrictor of medium size escaped
from its cage. As time passed the inci
dent was forgotten. Early on Wednes
day J. D. Doolittle entered his barn and
saw the monster in the hayloft. Bvxilit
tle had lost several shoats, of which be
could find no clew. Their disappearance
was explained by the preseue-e of the
snake. Seeing the reptile Mr. Doolittla
retreated, and after releasing his horses
from the bam he applied a match and
burned the structure and contents to the
ground. The mow was full of new hay.
After the fire had spent its force the
ribs of the reptile were found in the
ashs. and they were nearly as large as
the ribs of a 100-pound hog. Mr. Doo
little says that he feels worse from the
effect which the snake's vicious eyes had
upon him than bo does over the loss of
his barn and contents. The contents of
tho bam were the principal loss, as the
structure was an old one and was soon
to be replaced. Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Itaahfulueft and It Caase.
The first chief cause of bashfulness
consists in a man's attention being di
rected to himself. Tho man who is
quite at eaie in his office bashfnluess
is most often an attribute of the malo
sex becomes self conscious iu the draw
ing room and very shy. Although ca
pable of joining in the conversation, his
witty remark is forestalled b-cause he
is too slow in giving utterance to it or
too timid to hear his own voice. Tho
ordinary action of his brain is inhibited
by his self consciousness. The se-cond
cause is emotion. The extreme bash
fulness of many men when they are iu
love is proverbial, and the surprisingly
few married men who suffer from bash
fulness is noteworthy.
These causes are, however, usually in
sufficient to pro-luce hushfuluess, but
there must ie some further necessary
conditiou. Many conditions predispose
to it e. g., a highly nervous tempera
ment, deficient moral courage, with
which is associated lack of self assertion.
These may be regarded as constitutional
causes.
Another predisposing cause is defect
ive education. The general education
may have been neglected, or the want
of opportunities of acquiring self confi
dence in society may have been experi

A Bright Scotch Lad.
Some year or two ago I was staying
near Critff, and visited the viliago
school, where I saw a lad poring over
Homer. The schoolmaster told me that
in the course of the last shooting season
he carried the game bags for a party
over the moors. This he tiid with other
odd jobs to enable hint to continue his
education.
Ia the party were a nobleman (whose
name was given me, but which I have
now forgotten) and an Oxford tutor. Ia
the course of luncla-jn one day there
was a dispute between these as to the
exact wording of 6omo phrase from a
Greek drama and the author. Seeing
some intelligence in the lad's face, they
were led to ask hiia if he knew any
thing about the matter, when the lad
was able to tell tliem they were both
r.Tong, quotiug the phrase aright aud

A Mletaka at the Church.
A Lovejoy young man started home
from church the other night with a
beauty who had come to preaching with
another fellow. The mistake was not
discovered until the young man 1 gan
fcia courting where he had left off with
the other girl, and when she said, "I
don't understand you, sir," it dawned
upon them both that they had exchanged
partners while coming out of the church
door. The other couple were nearby
enjoying the joke, and in order to re
lieve the embarrassment then existing
camo to the rescue, and each young lady
armed her original esceirt and the court
ing proceeded, being thoroughly under

The Modern Canoe.
! Canoes are now bnilt for fpocial pur
poses, and one canoe is not expected to
fill every need. The op-n Canadian
style is nred for pleasure p.iddliujj
eiiher with the f inale or double blnd,
and even the sailing men brins these
boats to camp, in addition to their rac
ing canoes, for general nse and "girl
ing." Open canoes, built liprht and
ehiirp, are al.so n&cd in the paddling
races the trophy, tandem, single blade
event, and tho club f.mr.s. The sujw'ri
ority of the double blade paddle over the
tsinle was clrarly shown in the race of
club fours. The Springfield and Xew
York crews cair.e ia first and recolij
with double blades, and the Pointe Claire
(Canadian) and Puritan (Boston) crews
were third and fourth with ainglc blades.
This event gave a fine exhibition of
paddlinjr, the Springfield crew winning
easily simply because it had trained to
gether and kept perfect time. The
others were somewhat ragged. The
puddling events wero well contested
and showed a renewed interest in this
class of racing, but the sailing men do
not paddle, nor do the paddling men
sail. Harper's Weekly.

Bailey Hoover, a young man employed
on the Curtis ranch, reports a strange
experience with birds. He was driving
a single horse bnggy from the Fair
ranch, when about two miles from
Knights Landing he was suddenly
startled out of a doze by myriads of
birds, which swarmed down upon him,
screaming cngrily and flying at him.
The air was literally black with them,
and they viciously attacked the horse,
which was frightened into a frantic
effort to run away.
The young man was scared beyond
his powers of description. lie fought
the birds off with his whip, and direct
ing the horse as liest he could wa3 soon
beyond their pursuit.
' Hoover entertains s superstitious fear
that the incident portends evil for him,
and is sure something bad is going to
happen to him before long. He said
they were nearly all blackbirds, al
though there appeared to be other
species among the army of his winged
enemies. Woodland Mail
How Did Be KnowT
This from one of our San Francisco
telephone girls: '"I don't think that I am
any more Tain than other girls, bat I
sin good looking and know it, and take
a good deal of pride in my beauty. One
llay I was called to the telephone, and
being angry over something that had
happened in the office I snapped back at
the party at the other end of the wire,
Well, what is it? in a very short man
ner, ne replied with a low drawn whis
tle, Whe 0 e o-w, but yon must bo good
l.ioking. I can remember yet bow my
