How the Term Originated-who Are the
Real CreoIes.
Creole is not used by Americans un-
less referring to people of Spanish or
French descent. The Americans in
Louisiana outnumber those of French
descent, and the native Americans of
the State never call themselves Creoles.
The word Creole is of Spanish origin,
and was used during the old Spanish
colonial rule in Spanish America; and
as this city of New Orleans was for a
long period under Spanish dominion it
was but natural that the French and
their descendants born here. who COM
prised a considerable portion of the
population, should adopt the term. To
conclude, will copy portion of the
History of Mexico and Texas" by the
Hon. John M. Niles, member of the
Senate of the United States, in 1913:
1.-The existence of various casses, or
mixed races, which now constitute so
large a portion of the whole pOpula-
ton of the country, is the consequence
of the subjugation of the natives. The

of old Spain, settled in America, were
denominated chapetones, or gachu-
penes; they claimed the first rank and
engrossed most of the places of power
and profit, merely on account of their
birth; the descendants of European
Spaniards in the colonies were called
Creoles, and although they enjoyed
the same civil rights as the natives of
old Spain, they were treated as dis
tinct and subordinate class, and en-
tirely excluded from all situations of
any Importance. Of the mixtures, the
mestizos are the descendants of white
and an Indian; the descendants of an
Indian and a negro are called zembes.
and these castles produce other mix
lures of different shades of color and
degrees of blood too various to be
divided into distinct classes.-M. D.

SeIf-Possession and Ability.

Self-possession is something apart
from ability. It is more in one direc-
ton and less in another. Many per-
sons of great abilities are painfully
lacking in self-possession, and others
of very small powers are rarely at a
loss. 1t comes rather through fair
degree of acknowledge and practi-
cal exercise of those abilities, great or
small, which we do possess. Our own
experience shows US this. Most of as
are sef-possessed in at least one direc-
ton, and that we shall find to be the
case in which we have had the most
constant practice and the best oppor-
tunities of testing ourselves. The me-

Rolled gold is thus manufactured;

Rolled gold is thus manufactured:
An ingot of brass is cast, and while it
is yet hot thin layer of gold alloy is
poured upon it. When the ingot thus
covered becomes cold it is forced be-
tween steel rollers until a long thin
ribbon is produced, of which the pro-
portion of gold and brass is, of course,
the same as that of the ingot. The
percentage of gold is often reduced
very low-sometimes to two and three
per cent. This rolled gold in cheap
bracelets and watch chains lasts fof ten

THE OCEANS PERIL.

The Steamship Alaska Drifting Rudderles
In Mid Ocean-Rescued and Steered Into
Port by the Lake Winnipeg--A Chance
for Heavy Salvage.
NEW YORK, February l0.-Dr. b. New
ton, passenger on the steamer Alaska,
says: "Thc rudder broke at seven O'Clock
on Tuesday morning, February Sd. At
tempts to improvise steering gear failed.
Many of the passengers stayed up all
night to be ready for any emergency. At
times the waves broke over the deck.
Matters were not improved on by
Wednesday. On this day all attempt at
steering were abandoned, and the engine
stopped. That day the vessel drifted
back tifty-eight miles. About eight o'clock
that evening, the lights of the Lake VIM
nipeg were sighted, and Captain Murray
ordered rockets sent up. These rockets
carried bombs which burst with
tremendous explosion, but the
Winnipeg gave no sign that she
had seen or heard them. The Captain
then ordered fire to be lighted on the
deck at the stern. The deck was of iron,
and when the fire was built of rags soaked
in oil, it made tremendous blaze aud ex-
tended the width Of the deck. 1t was a
very impressive sight-indecd, one OF the
strangest sights / ever saw. The Lake
Winnipeg saw it, and thinking we were
on fire, bore Aown upon us. When she
came within hailing distance there was
an affecting scene among the passengers.
The ladies were entirely overcome, and
members of families embraced each other
and wept, Ropes and heavy chain cables
were drawn over the stern of the
Alaska to the bow of the Winnipeg.
The Alaska then started ahead. The
Winnipeg was directed by flag signals
from the Alaska how to steer. The mo-
ton of the Alaska was entirely changed.
There were terrible jerks and strains on
the cables, and it was marvel that they
held. The Winnipeg, though large
vessel, danced around like cork on the
| great waves. Captain Murray did not
| take his clothes off for six days, he had no
sleep, and he worked as hard as an ordi-
nary seaman. He fell and injured his
knee severely, but kept at work. A gen.
| tleman familiar with marine matters said
that the Winnipeg would have claim for
salvage amounting to perhaps 100000.
| 1t will be settled by arbitration.

A SHOWER OF FISH.

nation Among the People of Louisville,
Ky.-The Negroes Thought the Judge
ment Day Had Come.
LOUISVILLE, KY, February l0.-The
darkest piece of daylight the citizens of
Louisville ever saw visited the city Just
before nine O'Clock yesterday morning. A
brisk rain had fallen for three hours, and
an unusual fog had enveloped the city all
morning. About $3.50 o'clock a sudden
gust of wind came from the west and
heavy black cloud overspread the sky.
The fog increased in density, making the
day as dark as night. The gas was lighted
in all business houses and residences
and the streets were enshrouded in an
impenetrable gloom, which lasted for
about five minutes. Many were greatly
frightened at the unusual phenomenon,
and large numbers of the colored popu-
lace concluded that the last day had
come, and ran about in amazement and
alarm.
The darkness was followed by drench-,
ing rain, which lasted twenty minutes.
Small minnows were scattered profusely
in some localities after the cloud burst.
The sudden shower and the appearance
of fish betokened a waterspout from the
Ohio.
