STEAMSHIP RACING on THE ArLANT1c.-The New
York Commercial deprecates the excitement which
it displayed respecting the performances of the
Collins and Cunard steamers. The editor says:
awe sincerely hope that merchants and under
writers, and the public generally, will earnestly
discountenance this whole business of betting on
the performances of our ocean steamers, and COLI
insurance companies can greatly aid in suppressing
the dangerous practice, ifthey be so minded. and
to them the community. have right TO look for
such protection as they can give. If they raise
the rate of insurance as the excitement and betting
increase, or refuse to insure when money is known
to be staked upon the rate of speed to be accom-
plished, the evil would soon be abated.

A Yankee Shoemaker."-Yo hain't no oc
casion for a jer nor nothin', spose,' said :
jolly son ofSt Crispin from the land of wooder
nutmegs, as he entered a shoe establishment
with his kit nicely done up in his apron.
"Wonder if l hain't," was the reply of the
boss. "Why, should like dozen if could
get 'em; but what kind of shoe can you maker
"Oh, as to the matter o'that,' said the snop
II reckon as how can make decent sort OF a
craft"
"Spread your kit, them" said the boss; "I'Il
give you pair to try, and if your work suits
me, | can give you a steady seat of work.
Crspin was soon hammering and whisting
away, as happy as clam at high-water, and
the boss was called away on some business
which detained him two or three hours; mean
while, the trampercje jer had produced thing
which bore some faint resemblance to shoe,
and feeling somewhat ashamed OF it, hid it in a
pile of leather.chips that lay on the floor, and
proceeded to make another, which he had barely
time to finish, when his employer entered and
began TO examine it.
"Look here, mister" said he, II guess you
needn't make the mate to this; it is the greatest
botch that was ever made in my shop, that's
fact"
"P'raps you'd like to bet trife on thai" said
the snop.
"Bet p responded the boss; "why, I'll bet a
ten dollar bill against hand of Tobacco that
there was never a shoe made in this shop half
so bad as this.''
"Done," said Crspin, at the same time cast
ing sly wink at his shopmatee; "but, stop,
let me see if I've got so much of the weed with
me. Oh, yes; here's whole hand of Caven-
dish," and laying it on the cutting board, he
ventured to suggest the propriety of having
the suet-skin laid alongside oft, which was no
sooner done than he proceeded to draw from
its hiding place the other shoe.
"Here, boss" said he, "you must decide the
bet: say, which of the two shoes in the worst!'
"Wel, guess I'm fairly sucked in this
time," replied the boss, pushing the Cavendish
and shin n-plaster towards the rightful owner,
and thro wing a nnepence to the youngest
apprentice. The boy needed no farther instruc-
tions as to his duty, but was off in the twinkle
of bed.post, and soon returned with quart
of black-strap. After all hands had sufficiently
regaled themselves, the shrewd Yankee put his
sticks together, and bidding the boss hearty
goodby, started again on tramp, very well
satisfied with his forenoon's work.

80 years old on the 9Th inst, and now living

He was employed by Fulton, Livingston &

Pittsburgh, Pa, on the 18th day ofMarcb, 1911,

train ran over COW, south of Shelby, Ohio
and broke through bridge, dashing the cars
to pieces. J. St. Peters, the engineer, was
killed instantly. The conductor, Mr.. Teegar-

had to cut off his arm ere his body could be
released. He died in few minutes. Another
man was badly crushed.

Singular Story Of Fish.-Wm Cook, of
Provlncetown, states that on Friday, April 22d,
while the fishing schooner Rio Grande was
catching fish six miles off Nauset Three Lights,
very large Cod was caught, in the stomach OF
which was found the left arm of child appar-
emily five or six years of age. The arm was of
the whole length from the shoulder blade, and
the flesh was gone as far down as the elbow,
below which the whole was perfect even to the
finger nails. The matter excited good deal
of surprise on board the schooner, ana green
hand who was dressing the fish, on discovering
the contents of the stomach, threw down his
knife and ran away from his work. 1t may be
the remains of some poor emigrant child, who
died and was thrown overheard at sea.

UA machine has been invented, but not
yet patented, which will do the entire pegging
of shoe, with either one, two, or three rows
of pegs, in from two to three minutes. The
number of rows make no difference in the time,
and the work is pronounced far better than
handwork can be. A further novelty in the
case is, that this machine makes its own pegs
as it does its work-thus destroying the value
of that ingenious machine for making pegs, that
has so long been both useful and profitable.

TA country clergyman of eminent piety
and liberal attainments, located in populous
and thriving town, and whose vocation had
been pursued with such ordor as to seriously
affect his health, resolved to accept call from
a smaller parish, where the duties would be
less arduous. Accordingly he waited on the
chairman ofthe committee, an honest but illite-
rate man, and stated to him the facts in the
case; that the duties demanded of him were too
severe for one of feeble bodily condition, and
that he needed more time to himself, for study
and recreation.
"WelI," replied the committee man, srve
knowed all along, by your sermons, that you' ne
needed more time for study, an allus thought
they'd be better for recreation. So of you
must go, " nuthin to say again it, And with
this Doubtful compliment the smiling clergyman
received his discharge Clinton Courant.

"!Safety Seal Check."-The New York Cour-
Ter and Enquirer says that C. A. Simpson, Esq,
of the Merchants Bank, Boston has prepared
and copyrighted very beautiful check, which
he calls safety seal check" that if availed Of,
precludes in great degree, the possibility Of
forgery. The check is of ordinary form, but
has circular space left in its lower left corner
for the insertion of the impression ofthe mer-
chants seal, in whose name it is drawn. The
seals may be engraved and printed for tri-
fling sum, and may be stuck on the check in
the same manner that postage stamps are Sc
cured. The forger with one of these checks,
must likewise forge the stamp, which would be
hardly practicable'
