Lost on Sandy Hook! Portentous
enough is llie word "lost" at any time,
but coupled as it is in this instance with
a waste of sand dunes bristling with
the bones of lost ships and dead men, it
becomes doubly portentous. Yes, I wag
lost on Sandy Hook, and in the darkest
night that ever threw a pall over lonely
sea and shore. How I came to be a wan
dering wayfarer on that lonely, aye, God
forsaken strand matters but little. Suf
fice it to say that late one afternoon I had
paid a visit to a little grave far up on the
hillside of the eternal Highlands of Nave
sink
LOOKING BACKWARD.
As 1 stood beside that tiny tomb recol
lections of another sainted one came
over me, and so real did her presence
seem that with her hand in mine we two
wandered in the spirit down through the
old drives and by the old alder trees,
which she once knew so well, and on by
the twin lighthouses and across the dark,
flowing river to th sea beach, where we
two had so often strolled before. And
she led me thus unheeding my where
abouts, only heeding her presence and
the same old love light in her eyes. 'Twas
thus she led me down these old paths,
her memory floating back out of the past
like a half forgotton song, until sudden
ly the deep diapason of the surf swelled
up and swallowed the song of our loves.
That sweet voice was lost. I called for
her in vain. The waves roared a mock
ing reply that sounded like "Nevermore."
In vain did I plead for that sweet
voice Again did the great-organ of the
surf respond remorselessly in a grand
chorus, "Nevermore." In inane rage I
flung myself 011 the strand. Then cooler
moments intervened, and there on the
wet sand, with none hut God and the
rippling river to hear, I poured out my
soul in- sorrow. And the starlight fell
like a benediction 011 my upturned face,
and the running river sang a dirge.
Had 1 been laboring under a s|>ell?
Had she really returned to me, or was it
all a1 In :::ii? What it was I know not.
Only this. 1 was lost on Sandy Hook.
Alone there oil a desert shore, alone with
my conscience. 1 remember 1 thought
of my situation as likened to that oi
Robinson Crusoe, but my night was
darker than any of Juan Fernandez, ren
dered doubly dark by the black wings of
remorse that flapped about me. Dark as
divine wrath was the blackness about,
unillumined by Btar or lights far out at
sea, for the dwarf cedars hid both from
me. Yet now and then there came float
ing in over the waters the sound of sig
nal hells at sea, ringing out warnings to
the wanderers of the deep.
At last, worn out with exertion, I half
tumbled upon what had been the spar of
a lost ship. Placing my hand for sup
port upon 1 he sand at my side, it touched
something. The knowing nerves of the
hand telegraphed to my fevered brain
what that something was. It was a
human skull, the melancholy memorial
of man's mortality. Aghast, I threw it
from u:e. The spot seemed accursed,
and I rose and tottered on. human will
prevailing over the weakness of the body
As I mounted a big dune a cry of joy is
sued from my lips. There, like diamonds
set in the ebon lield of night, gleamed
the twin lights, and beneath them in a
sable bank lay the everlasting Highlands.
Endeavoring to keep those jewels ever in
my view, I wandered 011, but they, alas,
were again lost behind the veil of cedar
and sand.
I.OST 200 YEAItS AGO
Recollections of the wrecks of other
years came over me, and 1 thought 1
wandered through a vast cliarnel house.
Again 1 fell and my hand struck what
seemed like the base of a shattered
tombstone. Although I had never he
fore visited that spot I knew that the
shattered marble wa3 erected in mem
ory of a British frigate's boat's crew
which, led by a young nobleman, was
lost in the snow in the same place almost
200 years before. With sympathetic fin
gers I traced out the graven words near
the base of the stone, "Erected by his
mother, Lady ,"and there the legend
ended. But right roundly in that dark
and lonesome spot I cursed the vandals
who had desecrated that cemetery and
destroyed that everlasting tribute of a
fond mother's love. Somewhere near by
1 knew from history lay the bones of
several refugees killed soon after the re
treat of the British from Monmouth. 1
am uncertain that 1 found the place of
their burial, but ijuito near at baud 1
found a section of human frontal hone,
which 1 carefully placed in an inner
pocket of my peajacket.
Again I wandered on crying for human
aid until I entered a tiny grove. Sud
denly a light blazed full in my face from
the hastily opened door of a habitation
and a rough voice exclaimed:
"What's the matter? Lost?'
"Yes," was the hesitating reply, fori
half leared the place was a pirates' den.
"This is the Hotel McGinty and I am
Pierre Troutman, the proprietor. Way
farers are welcome, aud we still have a
few rooms on the lower floors left. Come
in, stranger, and welcome."
Too dazed to speak, I accepted the in
vitation and entered the Hotel McGinty,
which was a rude one story frame shanty,
perhaps 12x10 feet and lined with rows
of crude bunks arranged as on shipboard.
Troutman said that he and his men,
who were all asleep, were saving that
portion of the cargo of the wrecked bark
Germania that had washed ashore on
Sandy Hook. The Germania was wrecked
at Long Branch, he said, on the night of
Nov. 27.
After a hearty meal, a friendly smoke,
a yarn or two and a song, the writer was
tucked snugly in a lower berth to seek
rest for his weary body and overwrought
brain in a deep and refreshing sleep.—

Pillows Made of Lore Letters.
Tho latent device of girlhood is a fancy
for stuffing pillows with their old love
letters. There is one thing about the
contents of these pillows that can be de
pended upon with a marked degree of
certainty—they are sure to bo soft. Now,
the question naturaliy arises, must the
pillows 1)0 stuffed with letters from a
single person, or may missives from John
and Jack and Algernon be tumbled pro
miscuously in together? Is it a test of
loyalty that when once a girl really falls
in love, or thinks she does, she discard
from her pillow all the letters save those
of the object of her deepest affection?
And how does marriage affect the fate
of the pillow? Do husbands enjoy hav
ing their wives' faces buried in a mass
of soft nothings that other men have
written to them? And what dreams
may come, and what skimpy, flat little
pillows some poor girls must have; but
how nice it is for the men to reflect that
their adored ones slumber softly on their
words of love. —Chicago Tribune.
Ills Only Haven.
All women are in league against the
bachelor—the married women from sym
pathy with their unmarried sisters and
the unmarried from a desire to lessen the
number of spinsters. With this league
against him, offensive and defensive, the
unmarried man may find peace in heaven,
but lie can scarce hope to find happiness
on earth—this side of marriage. How
ever, once married, all the bachelor's
troubles are over. He is no longer the
subject of interested or designing atten
tions—except the attentions which pro
ceed from love. True, tho bachelor be
comes on his marriage, if not an object
of commiseration to the knowing ones,
an object of comparative indifference to
all women but one; but tho superior love
of that one atones for all, and his added
dignity and completeness as a man and
citizen make him wonder how he pre
viously existed, as one-half a pair of
scissors without the other half.—Wo

All F.ng la'nnan on (lie Bowery.
A cockney went into a cheap restau
rant on the Bowery, one of those places
that have been aptly called beaneries.
He sat down and adjusted his monocle
and beckoned to a waiter, who came for

dirty towel was slung across his arm.
He scowled at tho stranger.
"Weill!"
"Aw, waitah, dontcherno, I want a
brace of chops, an' a poached egg, an
some buttered toast, an' a mug of 'alf an'

A Kin; Dethroned.
A well known mad doctor has just died
at Vienna. Professor Leedesdorff was
the great king dethroner. No other med
ical man has had so large an experience.
When, in 1870, Sultan Mourad the Fifth
was to be deposed and Abdul Aziz set up
on the throne, the professor was sent fot
to Constantinople, examined his royal
patient, and promptly declared him mad.
There was no appeal from that decision
Later on, when Louis the Second of Ba

his ministers sent to Vienna for the pro
fessor. Sometimes lie would be sent fot
to Petersburg. The Romanoff family
had failings, anil the professor had tc

A New Invent lon.
A nickel-iu-the-slot machine in Doston
confronts the equestrian who alights at
the sidewalk with the legend written
across its front: "Drop a nickel in the
slot and I'll hold your horse." He puts
in the nickel and the iron hands unclasp
the bridle rein is dropped into them and
they close again. There you are. The
horse is held. The rider goes off about
his business. In half an hour he returns.
There is the machine and there is the

peared and in its place is the inscription
in characters of living light: "Give me a
quarter and I'll let him go."—Cor. Chi

Cost of Heating Water.
Water is one of the hardest of all sub
stances to heat. This furnishes a good
illustration of the law of the conserva
tion and transformation of forces. To
raise one pound of water one degree in a
minute is required a heat which, if ap
plied to an engine, would raise 772
pounds of water or any other substance
one foot high. To raise eighty-six
pounds one degree in a minute would he
equivalent to raising eighty-six times
773 pounds to the height of one toot in a
minute.—Washington Post.
A ClieiniHt'M Feat.
A foreign chemist lately performed
quite a feat. The explosion and fire at

The imperiled obligations were given to

Drawn on a Jury.
In New York some years ago u sum
mons commanding Thatcher Magoin to
present himself for service in the jury
box was returned to the commissioner of
jurors, witli the information that it had
been served on the wrong party. In such
cases, however, as is well known, no
ordinary excuse is accepted.
"Magoin," said the commissioner,
"must appear in person and show cause
why he should not be a jaror."
"Ho can't come," was the reply. "He's
too busy."
"Such an excuse will not help him.
He must come or suffer the consequences
of fine and imprisonment," said the com
missioner sternly.
"If lie did come he'd make things hot
for you! Besides, it'll take a derrick and
truck to bring him here. He turns the
scales at five thousand pounds."
The commissioner expressed the opin
ion that the sjicaker had been drinking.
"I'm as sober as you be," said the rep
resentative of the absent juror. "Thatch
er Magoin is a steam engine located at
the foot of Fletcher street. Years ago I
was employed by a man named Thatcher
Magoin, and I called my engine on Pier
19, East river, after him. When the di
rectory man came to the dock to get
names lie saw the name on the engine,
and he thought 'twas the name of the
boss, so lie put it down in his book."

A Visit Buskin Paid Carlyle.
I heard a pretty account once from Mr.
Alfred Lvttelton of a visit paid by Rus
kin to Carlyle in the old familiar room
in Cheyne Walk, with the old picture oi
Cromwell on the wall, and Mrs. Carlyle'f
little tables and pretty knickknacks still
in th-ir quiet order. Mr. Raskin had
been ill not long before, and as lie talked
on of something be cared about, Mr.
Lvttelton said bis eyes lighted up, and
he spenied agitated anil moved. Carlyle
stopped him short, saying the subject
was too interesting. "You must take
care," lie said, with that infinite kind
ness which Carlyle could show, "you
will be making yourself ill once .more."
And Ruskin, quite simply, like a child,
stopped short. "You are right,"hesaid,
calling Carlyle "master," and then went
on to talk of something else, as dull, nc
doubt, as anything could be that Ruskin
and Carlyle could talk about together.—

Tattooing Algerian Gli-lit.
In Algeria every girl born of native
parents is tattooed on her forehead be
tween the eyebrows and just at the root
of the nose with a cross, formed of sev
eral straight lines of small stars running
close together. These tattoo marks are a
dark blue color. Algerian women are
also considerably tattooed on the backs
of their bands, their forearms and chests,
as well as on their shoulders—their wrists
being especially adorned with tirawings
representing bracelets and flowers strung
together. As a rule women are the opera
tors, and it is principally on children be
tween the ages of 7 and 8 that they have
to exercise their art They use some
times a needle, bnt more frequently a
Barbary fig tree thorn. They employ
kohl as a coloring substance. It is a kind
of fine powder made from sulphur of an
timony. which is also in great request by
tho Algerian women for the purpose ol

no evil results. It is all nonsense to re

THE SUFFERING SIOUX.
THE SEMI-CIVILIZED INDIANS OF
DEVIL'S LAKE, NORTH DAKOTA
l'hcy Suffer Uotli an Willi.- Man anil a*
Indian.-; with the Former They Share
the Drought and a Indians Tliey Have
No Surplus and Few Frlendx.
Once more the country is up[>ealed to
for contributions to aid a starving tribe
of Indians. The 900 or more Sioux on
the great reservation in Ramsey, Benton
and Foster counties, North Dakota, share
with their white neighbors in the gen
eral misery caused by the drought and
crop failure of last summer; but, unlike
the whites, tliey have no personal friends
and relatives in the east to extend aid
quietly, tliey have no surplus as many
of the whites have.
STARVING SIOUX.
To add that they have no friends would
be an exaggeration, but not a very great
one, for the Devil's lake Sioux are the
remnants of certain bands which have
the reputation of having been "mighty
bad Indians."
Not quite a mile south of the southern
bend of the lake stands the well built
Fort Totten, from which hardy regulars
have gone on expeditions against the
Indians when the mercury was 30 degs.
below zero. A little nearer the lake is
the village, comprising the residence of
Maj. Cramsie, long the efficient agent of
those Indians, the other houses and shops
of theagcncy, the store, hotel and United
States signal service office. Maj. Cram
sie is among tho best informed men in
the nation on Indian affairs, and iiis in
telligent wife (herself boasting a trace of
ludian blood) is an efficient interpreter
and devoted friend of their dusky wards.
Half a mile further north and on a ridge
rising rapidly from the lake is a fine
Catholic church and largo school and
boarding bouse, in which ten sisters of
the order of Gray Nuns of Montreal
teach the young aborigines.
And if one wants to hear the three
typical views of the "Indian question,"
in all the purity of plain language, in
spired by enthusiastic conviction, he can
hear them at these three adjacent cen
ters. At the fort and agency store, hotel,
etc., he can get the straight western
view: "Good Indian, dead Indian, etc."
If tho tourist insists on debating the
matter lie will hear some philosophy like
this: "White man and Injun may be of
the same species; so are the dog and the
wolf —anyhow, they will 'cross.' But
the dog will guard sheep and the wolf
will kill them. Maybe these Injuns could
be ci*-ilized—in a long time—but they'll
all he dead before the time comes."
At the school "Sister Page" or "Sister
Franklin" will tell the visitor in musical
French or choice English that their
charges aro most promising; "the only
trouble is when we get through with
them they have to go back to the smoky
and dirty cabin. Oh, the government
ought to see to it that more help is given.
There is no need of soldiers and a fort
here now. All those pretty buildings
ought to be made into an ludian home.
Then we could educate every boy and
girl on the reservation, and start them
in life able to work at a trade and make
a good living. We long to do the work,
asking only room and rations—it is our
life work—if the government will only
give us the chance."
Maj. Cramsie takes a practical man's
view of the matter, viz.: "The Indians
are just as capable of being civilized as
any other race, but, like any other, they
must take time. The impatient Ameri
can cannot wait—he wants it all done in
two or three years. So the Indians are
living in tight log houses and haven't
yet learned how to live in them. They
are working and learning, but under so
many difficulties that in half the cases
by the time a man has mastered farming
he dies of lung disease."
In times of plenty the Indian still ex
hibits the childish trustfulness of the
natural man. The halfbreeds often appear
in this respect even more improvident
than the. Indians. Their dances, feasts
and social life are picturesque and pleas
ant; but they do not "keep the wolf
from the door" in winter and times of
scarcity. About the rude log cabins in
which most of the Devil's lake Sioux
live one may see much suffering any
winter; for there is a great deal of scrof
ula and pulmonary disease among the
half civilized, who have lost, or been
compelled to give up, all the habits of
wild life, and have not well acquired
new ones. This winter the suffering is
terrible. The poorly clad and worse fed
women and children shiver about the
cabins, while the men are away in the
woods, chopping for a mere pittance.
Much has already been done in response
to their appeals. The children at the
Carlisle Indian school have sent $550 —all
their savings. Many others have given
small sums. Indian Commissioner T. J.
Morgan has advanced $3,000 of the com
ing year's appropriation. The sisters at the
school have furnished medicine at their
own expense. Maj. Cramsie has secured
small contributions from other sources.
Still there is much suffering. The
"grippe" has swept the reservation and
left a fearful amount of pneumonia in
its wake. And in the face of this destitu
tion the fact is presented that the govern
ment still owes these people $1,000,000
on their lands taken by the railroads;
congress is merely slow in making ap
propriations. Those theorists who want
government to "do everything for every
body" might learn something by observ
ing how it does the small bit of humani
tarian work now committed to it by the
constitution. J. H. BEADLE.
