The Mystic Number Eleven.

Falstaff's divinity of odd numbers"
received a curious complication at the
late municipal elections at Trieste, when
the recurrence of the number eleven
was really remarkable. The electors of
the fourth ward, for example, num-
bered 1911; in the third ward only eleven
Liberal candidates came forward, and in
the first like number of eleven were
in opposition. The elections began on
the eleventh day of the month, and the
result in the Third Ward was proclaimed
at eleven o'clock at night. The mayor
was elected by LII votes, and among
the new councillors are eleven adyo-
Gates, eleven merchants and eleven
Jews. Thus, at least at Trieste, the un-
fortunate number eleven-disliked so
long as symbolical of the number of the
Apostles after the loss of Judas bids
fair to become quite rehabilitated. N

THE VANDERBILT.
The Last of an Historical and well-Known
Craft.

Craft.
The sale Of the ship Three Brothers
closes the career of historical craft. In
1855 Commodore Vanderbilt ordered
constructed for his New York and
Havre line a steamship which was de-
signed to attain a remarkable speed.
When approaching completion, so
pleased was the old Commodore with
the tineness of her lines and the promise
her model gave of quick passages that
he had her chrstened after himself. No
pains or expense had been spared in the
Vanderbilt's construction and fittings,
and when she left the builders hands
she is said to have represented an ex-
pcnditure of eight hundred thousand
dollars. During the early part of the
war. when the Confederate cruiser Ala
bama was making such inroads on the
American merchant marine and the
Union mcn-Of-war were unable to effect
her capture. the idea presented itself to
Commodore Vanderbilt that perhaps
his pet steamship might accomplish
what the ships of the navy had failed to
do, and he presented her TO the Govern
ment. For this munificent act Wander
bilt was thanked by Congress and had
gold medal struck in his honor. Ultim-
atcly she came to this coast conveying
the old Monitor Monadnock around the
Horn, and made one trip to Honolulu,
on which occasion she was rendered in
courtesy to carry Queen Emma down. On
her return she was laid up at Mare
Island until ultimately sold for small
amount to George Howes g. Co, who,
at an expense of nearly 5000, 900, fitted
her up as sailing vessel, and the
occasion of her first leaving this port
with a wheat cargo was a gala day in
the harbor. After making several
voyages she was sold in Liverpool for
small amount to her late owners, an
English firm, who sold her to be used as
n coal hulk at Gibraltar. 1t is quite
probable that the British Government is
the purchaser, but the consideration is
not stated. 1t is, in all probability, the
end of famous ship.-San Francisco

The subject is complex one, and in
lts analysis we have to consider not ONLY
the various conditions surrounding the

the latent tendency to disease. The

feebleness. Very little of the common

require too long time to enter into all
the questions of heredity which influence
the fate of the child. They are, however,
of vital Importance. both to the individual
and to the race. That the race is gaining
in int llectual capacity is an undoubted
fact; but we are losing just as much or
more in physical power. We see no such

ONLY HALF ALIVE.

There are hosts of men and women who to
coin a phrase, are only half alive. That is to
say, they have seldom if ever any appetite, are
nervous, weak, fidgetty and troubled by num-
berless small pains and aches. In the presence
of vigorous exuberant vitality they seem mere
pigmies. Such persons are usually fond of
frequently dosing themselves, swallowing in
the course of the year enough drugs to stock
any apothecarys shop of average dimensions.
This, of course defeats instead of furthering
the end in view viz, the recovery of health and

HEAVY EATERS.
Heightened German Banquet In the
Middle Ages.

Heightened German Banquet In the
Middle Ages.
The Germans, always celebrated for
heavy eating, furnish us with some
curious culinary items. Iu the middle
ages the goose was the grand dish
among them; but they also ate crows,
storks, cranes, herons, swans and bit
terns-these last-named dishes being
arranged in a circle of honor around
the goose. The geier or European vul-
ture, the dog-fish, the dolphin and
even the whale, were eaten; while a
roast guinea pig was considered a very
great delicacy. All their foods were
highly spiced; and sauces were endless
in their variety, three or four kinds
being served up with each dish. In
these sauces pepper, mace, cinnamon,
cloves, ginger, garlic, saffron and
pimento contended for the mastery.
and the more decided the flavor the
better the cook.
OF course, the great art was to ar
range these sauces in an ascending
scale of piquancy. So great, indeed,
was the passion for highly favored
foods that turkeys had often an allow
ance of musk 10 their daily rations.
The most fashionable wines were those
of Chios, Cyprus and other Greek vim
tages; but, as highly-favored foods re-
quire drink to correspond, the wine was
generally spiced, and was served under
the name of hippocras. 1t was not
thought impolite, even so late as the
sixteenth century, for guest to ask
his host what wines he intended to
provide, so that he might make his
calculations as to what he wonld take
before he confined himself to the par
ticular tipple which should place him
under the table; nor was 1t thought
impolite in the middle of banquet to
undo the girdle in order to make more
room for such tempting tit-bits as pike
tails, bsrbels' beads, skin of roast
goose and swan tongues. The feast
usually commenced at eleven in the
forenoon, and the longer the host could
keep his guests at the table the better
was he thought of; but in the matter
of drinking, he was expected to en-
courage potation by providing baccha-
nalian song. or at least, by being him
self the first TO become hors de combat.

LOVE OF HOME.
How 1t Haunts Men and Women Far From

How 1t Haunts Men and Women Far From
Their Native Land.
Nostalgia is disease as much as neu-
ralgia or fever are diseases; it battles the
cleverest doctors skill, and admits OF
only one complete cure, and that is by
removing its cause. Sheer strength of
will may keep is in allegiance, hard work
may turn aside its course for awhile;
but sometimes, at odd moments, in un-
expected places, it asserts itself with an
uncomfortable longing-a sickening
thirst for home, which will neither be re-
pressed nor appeased.
A floating scent in the air-a scent
laden with the memory of by-gonc
day-a sunset flush in the sky, an old
melody borne on the breeze, have
been known to bring on an access of
this strange illness, almost unbcarable

friendship the closest, love the terderest,

nor the distractions of gayety to rouse il
from its melancholy. 1t is something
outside the sufferers body, outside him
self, his feelings, his reason; it is a sick
ness of the soul, longing to outstrip
time and space, to leave the laggard
body behind and fly to the native air, the
loved associations and early friends OF
childhood.

A VOTE RECORDER.
An Interesting Invention Devised to Save
the Time of Legislators.

An intricate and interesting machine
which for over two years has stood in
the room of the committee on education
and labor, on the House side of the
Capitol, is at last to be removed. 1t
has an interesting history. An old
gentleman named Crosby, noticing with
some degree of annoyance the immense
amount of time lost IN the House by the
calling of the yeas and the nays, under
took to invent machine which could
record the vote almost instantaneously
by the means of electricity. There were
to be electric buttons at each Congress
mans desk. The pressure of one
recorded yea" and the pressure of
the other recorded ''nay'' upon a
printed slip at the clerks desk,
while at the same time an
ingenious arrangement moved the hands
of dial on the Speakers desk and
showed at glance how many votes had
been taken on each side. The inventor.
after having had an expensive model
made, was taken sick and was COM
PEELED tie spend nine months in Florida.
The next session of Congress was very
busy one md he could get no one to
listen to dissertation on the merits of
his invention. This year his son fell
sick and died, and he has not been able
to urge upon Congress the adoption of
his machine. The Speaker will prob
ably give orders to have the apparatus
removed, for it fills up considerable
space. Mr.. Crosby wants S75, 900 from
the Government for his invention and
claims that it would save a or at deal of
fillibustering.- Washington Post.

A BIG HAUL.
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
STOLEN
After n Fight With the Messenger
The Robber Supposed to be One
of the James Gang.

Tho Adams Express car attached to pas
senger train No. 5 on the St. l. us aud SIN
Francisco Railroad. was robbed OF over $780,
BOO in cash between ST. Louis and
Pacific, Mo. From meagre reports it
seems that before the train left st. Louis, a
lnan giving the name of Cumming presented
letters to the express messenger, Mr.. Ffoth-
ingham, purporting to be signed by the Of
fcers of the company, stating that Cum
mings was about to take run on the line
and asking rockingham to give him the
points.
When near Meremac the stranger over
powered the messenger, gagged him and
bound him to the safe, after which he coolly
riaed the car. He cut open the bags con-
tanning silver, but took none of it, At Mer-
emac the robber left the train. Tie rob-
berry was not discovered until the train
reached P&c,fic, when the car was broken
open and Messenger rockingham found
tied to the safe. Express officials are reti-
cent, but admit that over $50, 900 was taken.
The robber is imperfectly described as
tall, dark man, of progressing appearance,
dressed in black, with very large hands and
feet. 1t is a singular coincidence that he
gave the name of Jim Cummings the only
member Of the once celebrated James gang
who hes never been accounted for.
