A Submarine Smuggling Vessel.

A curious ''fnd'' has been made re.
Gently in the neighborhood of Sand
witch, in Kent, close to the place where
the river Stour makes its exit into the
sea. This is nothing less than the
buried hull of an old smuggling vessel,
lying half covered in mud at the bot
tom of the stream. 1t must have lain
embedded in its resting place for sew
eral centuries, inasmuch as some of the
wood of which it was composed had
undergone petrifaction. The size of
the lugger is about forty tons, and it is
supposed that she was engaged in
CARRYING on contraband trade when
she was sunk right in mid-stream by a
well-aimed shot from some Government
ship. This supposition is rendered al
most certain by the fact that in the dis
entombed vessel were found several
stone jars of antique shape, and pack
ages of decayed and mouldy tobacco,
while y fourteen-pound ball was en-
bedded in the timbers of the hull. One
of the jars had been so securely sealed
up as to have escaped the effects of
time and water, and in it remained
some 'strong-smelling liquor" which
ought to be handed over to competent
ANALYST without delay. This treasure
trove was come across in a perfectly
accidental way. 1t was found lately
that an obstruction existed in the bed
of the river, and the authorities at Sand
witch Haven gave orders for its remov-
al, when the obstacle to navigation was
found to be the contraband lugger in
question, which will probably now be
raised and carefully investigated by
psychologists. The smugglers who
loaded that vessel with their surrepti-
tious goods some couple of hundred
years ago little thought that they were
providing materials for a museum of
curiosities in the Victorian era.-Lon-

The Demand for SkiIlfHl Liars.

1t does not require particle of art
to tell lie. To tell romantic or thrill
Jig yarn so as to give it the appearance
of truth without injuring any one is the
gift of the true novelist. Many of the
professional sensation-mongers of the
day have ample originality of design
and vividness of imagination to launch
a very excellent story, They fail often
from lack of personal experience and
information of their subject, and from
an unwillingness to verify the things
which they assert to be possible. Little
would be needed in many cases to fill
the sketch out most tremendously and
accurately; but, rather than exert them
selves to perfect their work, they lazily
throw in any ideas that come to hand
and leave the incongruities to disap-
point and disgust those capable of dis
covering them. 1t is much to be re-
GREETED that so important a part of a
newspaper as its columns of untruth
should be intrusted to unskilled hands.
There is a fortune awaiting the accu-
rate liar. Philddelphia Record.

A New Treatment Of an Old Legend.

The last work of the poetess who sits
upon the throne of Roumania and
writes under the non de plume of Gear
men Sylvia" is a new treatment of the
oft-told tale of Ahasuerus, the Wander
ing jew. 1t has been well remarked
that one may interpret this legend as
type of its own persistence. Once more
a new turn has been given to the old
myth, and Carmen Sylva's" version
is not the least fortunate and profound,
Unhappily, as is too often the case with
this writer, the treatment is not quite
level with the conception. jehovah
is the name of this poem, but the writer
does not sing of the God of Israel. but
of the atheistical skeptic, the God-seek-
ing, beiief-seeking jew, who cannot die
until he has found Him. Since Goethe's
Identification of the legend with the his
tory of struggling humanity, this idea
is not new. But it is both bold and new
to treat it, as Carmen SYLVIA has
done, from wholly modern-we
almost said Darwinian-point of view.
The wanderings of her Ahasuerus are
undertaken to find proofs of the exist
ence OF God. He says: when YOU
can show me the God that has created
all, the God who leads the SUM-. the
God whose voice sounds in the storm,
then | will pray to him. But before
that will not bow. One said he was
God, and he died. You say he was
God, and you killed him. / laughed
when God languished and fell and bled.
My God cannot be thus Many stages
of existence, many metamorphoses of
being and mind has Ahasuerus to 90
through before he is brought to the
knowledge that God is no visible great
king, but spirit and a truth, and a
working power pervading all things,
whose manifestations have been
evolved and made evident through the
ages in the form best suited to the peo-
pies and the temper wherewith it dealt.
Very tender, as well as powerful, is the
scene in which he comprehends that
God is the life of the universe. He
falls on his knees and cries: "My God,
my God, my God! l sought Thee on
the whole earth; | sought Thee in sac
ritice and remuneration; in sin and in
madness did | seek Thee. have suf-
fered all woe on earth, have drunk of
all grief. Doubt was my food, dark
ness my day. But now my eyes see.
God is in life" And, having thus
spoken, the spell that bound him is
broken and he dies. ''Gott istim Wer-
den" is the German version, of which
''life" is an incomplete rendering; but
the English language, so poor in philo-
sophical terms, can only approximately
cover this with the clumsy 'becom-
Jog. "-St. James Gazette.

the first place you want to carry as
little metal as possible about your per-
son. When the storm approaches shell
ter yourself inside the nearest brick or

really a protection. Avoid the shelter
of trees and doorways. also out-houses,
such as barns and stables, whether of
stone or wood, especially of the latter.
l consider that open, low, dry, stony
ground is safer than high, wet and
grassy ground, and that leeward sites
are. safer than windward ones. On
seeking shelter laborers should leave
their tools behind, as the metal is apt
to attract the electric fluid. The Chin
neys of a house should be kept clean.
