Mysteriously..Missing Ships.
Gtds1o,c Herald.


What becomes of our missing ships? Time
after time we learn that Beard of Trade
courts find it impossible TO answer this
question. Many vessels that leave our ports
apparently in most seaworthy condition
are never more seen or heard of, and no
amount Of inquiry serves to throw any light
on the cause Of their disappearance. Like
the Hermes, whose loss formed the subject
of m investigation at Greenock last week,
they may start with every prospect of fair
and prosperous voyage, with what Is thought
to be . safe cargo, properly slowed, and
under the charge of the captain and crew
equal to any emergency. And yet with all
these advantages, the lamentable fact re-
mains that many share the fate Of the
Hermes, simply vanishing, and SO helping to
increase the melancholy record Of missing
ships. A valuable abstract which has just
been prepared Of the returns issued by the
Bureau Veritas brings out some interesting
statistics connected with this record. 1t
shows that the total number of sailing ves-
sells aud steamers lost throughout the world
during the last two years reaches some three
thousand five hundred, and that of these
some three hundred we're reported as miss
ing. OF all the maritime disasters, there
fore that occur, It Is found impossible to
account with any degree of accuracy, for at
least one-tenth ot them. Guesses on the
subject may of course be made. There is
always the chance Of collision to be taken
into consideration, or Of some flaw In the
structure Of machinery which, though 1t
escapes the vigilance of the surveyors, may
unfit the ship to meet the usual perils Of
Of the deep. There is also the probability
thst some Of the vessels may have been
able to sneak away In m improper condi-
tion-perhaps overloaded with an insult
cheney Of freeboard.

AFRAID OF HIS RECORD.

~ cannot kiss you"
The cruel winds Of cold November night
were bowling In oil their fierce fury across
the face Of the bleak moerlands that stretched
away to the eastward Of the Castle Achin-
try, and ever and anon the noise Of the crate
would sound like the shrek Of person In
distress, then falling away TO low, sobblng
mean, such - might have been given by .
lost soul. Out through the mullionsd win
dows Of the castle there crept into the night
broad bands Of mellow light, serving by their
cheerful radiance to make more cheerful and
alluring the cosy nook by the fireplace whore
Reginald Higgins and Lurline Corcoran
were standing. Two months agons, when
the ruddy haze Of Indian summer rested
upon the earth, when the leaves Of autumn
In oil their glory Of gold and crimson and
vivid green were being tossed about by the
kissing zephyrs Of an October day, these two
had plightsd willing troth, and ere the
church bells should chime cut upon the air
glad tidings Of another Christmas come they
were to bind forever In the golden chains Of
holy wsdlock their youi.g Chicass hearts.
But now, whom life seemed fair and joyous
to Luriine, when every nescy cloud In the
horizon Of her existence was tipped with
rosy huss, thsre came the blighting words
which Reginald had juAt spoken.
sobblng - II her suspsndsn would break,
Lurlins placed her arms around Rsginalds
neck.
"Tsll me, sweetheart" she said, inplor-
ingly, "why you cannot kiss me again."
because" he answered In cold, North
side tone, ~ do not care to best the record

OLD TINES.

There's . beautiful ssng on the slumbroua
air
That drifts through the valley Of dreams;
1t comes from cline where the roses were,
And tuneful heart, and bright brown hair
That waves In the morning beams.
Soft eyes Of azure, and eyes Of brown,
And snow-white foreheads are there,
A glimmering cross and . glittering crown,
A thorny bed and couch Of down,
Lost hopes and leaflets Of prayer.
A rosy leaf and dimpled hand,
A ring and piighted vow;
Three golden rings on broken hand,
4 tiny track on the snow white sand,
A teri and sinless brow.
There's tincture Of grief in the beautiful
That sobs on the summer air,
And lonliness felt in the festive throng
Sinks down in the soul rs It trembles along
From cline where the roses are.
We heard 1t first at the dawn of day,
And it mingles with matin chimes;
But years have distanced the beautiful lay,
And its melody foweth so swiftly away,
And we call 1t now "Old Times"

POETRY.
WHAT SHE THINKS OF THE DRUMnERs.


First In the crowded car In he to offer
This travelling man, unhonored and unsu1g-
The seat he paid for, to some woman young,
Or old and wrinkled. He IL first to proffer
Something, trife from his samples maybe,
To please the fancy Of the crying baby.
He lifts the window and he drops the cur
tain
For unaccustomed hands. He lends his case
To make bolster for child, not certain
But Its mamma will frown Hmm In the face;
30 auxiously some women seek for danger
In every courteous act Of every stranger.
Well versed is he In all those ways oon-
ducive
To comfort where least comfort can be
found,
His little deeds Of thoughtfulness abound;
He turns the seat unasksd, yet unob-
trusive; i
10 glad to please you or have you pleaseIhim,
Yet takes 1t very calmly II you freeze him.
He smooths the Jeve-like frown of the
oficiai
BY paying the fare Of one who cannot pay.
True modesty he knows from artificial;
viii firt, Of course, II you're inclined that
way;
And, IL you are, be sure that he detects you;
And, II you're not, be sure that he respects
you.
The sorrows of the moving world distress
him;
He never fails to lend what aid he can.
A thousand hearts to-day have cause to
bless him,
This much abused, misused commercial man.
do not strive to cast halo round him,
But speak of him precisely rs I've found
him.

Leaf-Wearars-

DR.. Hunter describes a tribe in India
which has preserved an extreme primi-
t%iveness. The people are called Leaf
Wearers, because they wear the costume
OF Adam and Eve before their fall; or.
more strictly speaking, they did SO until
the English persuaded them to adopt
cloth. In 1871 the English officer called
together the clan, and after a speech
banded out strips of cloth for the women
TO put on. They then passed in single
file to the number of one thousand nine
hundred before him, and were marked
on he forehead with vermillion as a
sign of their entering into civilized So
ciety. Finally they gathered the punches
of leaves which had formed their sole
clothing into a great heap and solemnly
set fire to it This leaf-wearing tribo
had no knowledge CT the metals until
quite lately, when foreigners came
among them, and no word existed in
their native language for iron or any
other metal. But their country abounds
in flint weapons, s. hat the Juangs
form n remnant to our own day of tho
stone age. Their huts,' writes an
officer who knows them best, ''are among
tho smallest that human beings ever de-
l~iberately constructed as dwellings.
They measure about six by eight feet.
The head of the family and all the fe-
males huddle together in this one shell,
not much larger than a dog kennel.
Tho boys and the young men of the
village live in n large building apart
by themselves; and this custom of hay
ing n common abode for the whole male
youth of the hamlet is found among
many aboriginal tribes in distant parts
