NEWFOUNDLAND WRECKERS.
How Treasure Cast mp by the Sea
Is Seized by the Spoilers.

Nautical instruments in these hungry
waters avail the mariner naught, for fire.
quently a week will pass during which
he does not see the sun by day or the
stars by night. In the late summer the
Anglo. Saxon. laden for the greater part
with costly bales of silk, lost her bear.
ings, and while at full speed was lifted
upon q monster billow and laid across a
sunken rock that barred the mouth OF
Chance Cove. One wild shrek arose,
and the lightkeeper who heard it thought
it the wailing of the wind and the thun-
der of the sea. Crew and passengers,
amounting in all to score, were thrown
into deep hole inside the rock, where
the greater number persisted. The It'd
ings were promptly dispatched to the
capital, but not in time to save the treas
ure from the hands of the spoilers. The
fog lifted and revealed the strand pale
with corpses. Round about the fisher
men "hauled" their nets and spillards
in the fog, but with electric swlftness
went the tidings OF wreck. They came
there in scores and loaded their boats
with bales of silk; and they were busy
as ghouls among the dead upon the
beach. Many of the passengers were
persons of note, and they wore costly
Jewels upon their clothes and fingers.
Whenever ring could not be removed
from the rigid finger the wrecker drew
his sheath-kuife, and in horrible way
became master of the treasure. 1t is
stated, indeed, upon good authority,
that one poor lady succeeded in clutch
ing a piece of the wreck and reaching
shore. She passed through many faith
ON of breaking sea, and when she reached
the beach was to all appearance dead.
One of the wreckers, knife in hand,
went to where the lady lay, and his eye
cleaned as he saw the treasure upon her
fingers. She moved little and moaned,
but this was no safeguard. STOPPING,
the man seized her hand and began to
remove the rings, although she, by her
feeble crys, protested. All came away
save one, and this the man knew, from
its size and brilliant cleaning, to be the
most valuable of all. After trying many
minutes to obtain it, he pulled out his
knife and severed the finger Then, the
story goes, the poor, mutilated lady arose,
opened her eyes, and held up her bleed.
ing hand as if asking Judgment against
the heartless wretch. One wild, piercing
cry, and her sorrows were ended. As
she fell back upon the sand the wrecker
gave chuckle and went his way. such
an occurrence could not but fill the
minds of all good people with horror,
and it was not long before the imagina-
ton of some of the coast-dwellers fur
nished sequel to the atrocious deed.
For it is told, and believed by many
man and woman upon the coast, that
this same poor lady sometimes appears
in the dreadful cove when the storm rag
es. Scores will avow that she appears
by the edge of the sea, clad in white, her
dark hair trailing in the wind, and hold
ing up little. pale, bleeding hand.

How to DfsappOint a Baiky
Horse.

A Leominster farmer recently broke
his horse of balky freak in a very quiet
and, as he says, not cruel manner.
His horse is in excellent flesh and shows
no sign of neglect ON the part OF his
master. He drove him. attached to a
rack wagon, to the wood lot for small
load of wood. The animal would not
pull q pound. He did not beat him
with club, but tied him to tree and
let him stand. He went to the lot at
su nset and asked him to draw, but he
would not straighten a tug. II made
up my mind," said the farmer, when
that horse went to the barn he would
take that load Of wood. The night wss

blankets and covered the horse warm,
and he stood until morning. Then he
refused to draw. At noon went down,
and he was probably hungry and lone

Essentials of Easy Digestion.

A curious controversy is in progress
as to the need or value in "biting ones

there are some who should be au5hori-
ties ready to affirm that it is futile to
take the trouble to use the teeth with
which nature has provided man in COM
mon with most other animals. apparent
ly for the special purpose of grinding
his food. Little, if any weight is at
tached to the evidence OF facts in this
dispute. The existence of the dental
apparatus counts for nothing. Nor does
it 90 for much that movehents of the
Jaw promote the insalivaton of the food.
In short, mouth digestion is treated as a
myth OF little better. What are we to
understand by all this? Is it one OF the
early fruits of that attempt to popular
ize the science of physiology which has
been so persistently and unselishly
made by the medical profession in the
supposed interests of public health rank
the prevention of disease? We do not
incline to mingle in the fray just at pre-
sent at least. Let the dispute go on
and be fought out to tina bitter end!
Meanwhile we counsel all who care for
their comfort, and who do not desire to
develop the worst form Of dyspepsia, to
continue the practice of mastication as
before. As a matter of feat and expe-
rience, liberal use of the teeth in feed
ing is one OF the essentials of easy diges-
tion, and though we are not prepared to
assert that it is necessary to bite each
morsel of meat just twenty-five times,
it is better to err on the side of mastica.
