The above was the name and hailing port
of several famous vessels. For the history
of the first Salem ship of this name I be-
came Indebted to Charles W. Palfrey, ESQ.,,
in 1870-he was then collector of the port of
Salem. He says:
"The original Grand Turk of Salem which
made the earliest voyage to Canton, was a
ship of 263 tons, built and employed as a pri-
vateer towards the close of the Revolutiona-
ry War. She belonged to the famous mer-
chant of Salem, Elias Haskell Derby. at
the close of the war, she was employed as
an East Indiaman, and was sold at the Isle
of France in 1885,"
Mr.. Derby had another ship built for the
Canton trade in 1871, to which he gave the
name Grand Turk. She was of 564 tons,
and was long called "the big ship" This
ship with cargo of teas, silks and porcelain

any cargo which had then arrived in the
United States, arrived In Portland. she
sailed from Canton for Boston on the 26 of
March, 1897, and arrived on this coast early
In November with her crew sick with the
scurvy. After being driven from her course
several times by gales, she arrived 10 Port
land Harbor on the 26th of December, after
the unprecedented passage of nine months
of continuous sailing, during which she lost
five of her crew by sickness.
She was anchored on what is now the
= quarantine ground. On Wednesday night,
Jan. 9th, at 10 o'clock, a northeast gale
caused the Presumpscot ice to break adrift
in body, which struck the ship, forcing
her towards the rocks. Alarm guns were
fired from the ship for the officers, who were
at an Assembly on King street dancing
Several small vessels went to her assistance
with large number of men, but the ship
struck on Stanford's ledge, where the break

A Story of Caleb Cushing.

| met one of Caleb Cushings init
mate friends the other day, and he
remarked casually upon the singular
"outs" of the great lawyer, writes a
Washington cores pondent. Gushing
had no imagination and no sympa-
thies, nor had he any creative or con
structive ability. He was, perhaps,
the finest lease" lawyer of his time.
His splendid nina was splendidly
filled with authorities. Gushing
did not know how to converse. AneX-
change of ideas, such as occurs in the
ordinary conversation, was beyond
his grasp. He could talk for hours
when he had mounted the pedagogue's
stool-in fact, he loved to talk when
he could get into that didactic strain.
He liked to instruct other people at
no matter what expense of time or
trouble. He loved his family very
dearly. His attachment to his 2ear-
est relatives was very much closer
than is usual. But he found difli-
Guilty in expressing his affection.
They had very little in corSmon, and
when ne was with them, Gushing let
them do all the talking. Now and
them he would break IN with a re.
mark almost imconprehensible to
them. A little conversation at a
relatives tea-table shows the mans
peculiarities. Cushing had said moth
ing for some time. At length, little
Johnnie, the small boy of the family,
reaching out for the raspberry jam,
remarked: 81 want some Of that
there " "John, said Cushing,
solemly, coming to the surface of
consciousness again, your remark is
both vague and ambitious "Well, "
said jennie, speaking for the whole
family, Il didn't understand you
when you were here before, and |
don't understand you now"

Making Screws.

The process of making screws is a
very interesting one. The rough,
large wire in big coils is, by drawing
through a hole of less diameter than
itself, made the needed size. Then it
goes into a machine that at one mo-
ton cuts it a proper length and makes
a head on it. Then it is put into saw
dust and ratified, and thus bright
ened. Then the head is shaved down
smoothly to the proper size and the
nick put in at the same time. After
rafting again in the sawdust, the
thread IS cut by another machine,
and after another rafting" and
thorough drying, the screws are as
sorted by baud (the fingers of those
who do this move almost like light
ning). crossed by weight, and packed
for Shipment. That which renders it
possible for machines to do all this IS
4 little contrivanee that looks and
opens like a goose's bill, which picks
up single screw at q time, carries 1t
where needed. holds it until grasped
by something else, and returns for
another THIS is one OF the most
wonderful pieces Of automatic ma
chinerv ever seen, and it has done its
distinctive work at the rate of thirty
one screws a minute, although this
rate is only experimental as yet.
Ninety three gross day, has been
the regular work Of one machine. -

Kitchen Cesspools are Dangerous Nui-

sduttS.
a cesspool is in old English ''soss.
pool that is ''soakpool"-a place
into whi.h liquid slops and offscour-
ings may be run, and from which, as
usually constructed. it is hoped that
the liquid portion will soak or drain
away, thus sparing the proprietor the
trouble of emptying it. The term is
most generally applied, at present, to
receptacles or cisterns constructed I'M
derground in the vicinity of the house
to receive the kitchen-slops and sink
wastes, and distinguished from privy-
vaults or receptacles intended only,
or chiefly, for the reception of ex-
creta, but it is also used by some
writers as including the latter, and,
as matter Of fact, large number of
cesspools receive both Kinds of waste.
The cesspcols TO which we specially
refer at present are those into which
excreta are not allowed TO enter, but
which are devoted chiefly, if not ex-
clusively, to the reception of kitchen
waste. From time to time inquiries
are received by the Sanitary Engineer
which indicate that the writers sup
pose that the only dangers in house
drainage are connected with the dis
posal of eXcreta, with prvy-vaults or
water-closet wastes; and that if these
are properly arranged the sink-slops
need little attention. This is mis-
taken opinion, and it is time that peo-
pie learned to recognize it as such.
No doubt it is true that water closet
waste is more dangerous to health
than kitchenslops; it is more likely
to contain specific contagia, and is
more offensive, but considered mere
~ as furnishing material in which
may be developed dangerous organ
isms, as decaying organic matter or
between these two forms of waste
products after all, nor is a cesspool
less offensive than a privy vault.
Neither of them are satisfactory APP
pendages to a house, bat where their
employment becomes a necessity the
same precautions as to location, con-
struction, etc, should be applied to
one as to the other. The essential
points are to prevent leakage by max
LUZ lntIu WdlCl-Ilg All3 W pIONlOG
free outlet for the gases which will be
generated ia them, and to locate this
outlet at such a height that there shall
be no danger that the gases escaping
from it shall blow into the house.
Such cesspools should be small, and
emptied regularly and frequently.
The most unwise disposition which
can be made of a cesspool is to con-
meet the upper part of it with sewer.
When q street is severed the cesspool
on that street should be cleaned out
and filed up with FRESH clean earth,
and the house drainage be connected
directly with the sewer TO retain
the cesspool under such circumstances
is to insure that all the house waste
shall be in putrefying condition be-
fore it enters the sewer, and hence
make it impossible to keep the air in
the sewer inoffensive, Sanitary En-
