SuperstitiOns Of the Sea.

There is q story told by sailors of
haunted ship that used to sail out of
Liverpool. On the last voyage she made
as an ordinary ship with no ghostly
accompaniment she had q supercargo
who was q violinist He used to take
his violin and go up into the main
crosstrees, where he would sit and
play, his favorite tune being "The Girl
/ Left Beh nd Me-" On the voyage
the supercargo became insane and
Jumped overheard. Ever after that
occurrence, on stormy nights, when wind
and waves were high, and the ship
groaned and creaked as she struggled
through the waves, the sailors founder
ing about on the dark, slippery decks,
heard above the bowling OF the tempest
the sound of violin playing The Girl
| Left Behind Me" in the main cross
trees. Not many years ago there died
In little Cape Cod town retired sea
captain. Once when he followed the
sea he came across sinking bark off
Cape San Rogue. A gale was blowing
at the time and heavy sea was run
ming. Added to this, night was coming
ON, and though the poor wretches
begged frantically to be taken off, the
captain sailed away and lett them to
their fate. The memory of the doomed
crew of the sinking bark, stretching
their hands out appealingly and watch
ing his ship sail away, with despairing
eyes and CHASTITY faces, fingered with
the heartless captain all the rest of his
life, and in his declining days he fire.
quently complained that the crew of
the bark were haunting him, and said
that some day the vessel itself would
sail into harbor and take him away.
One stormy winter afternoon the old
man lay on his bed dying. Just as the
ebb tide began to turn he sprang up
and shouted: Don't! don't I'll stand
by till morning. I'll take you all off"
and fell back dead. The watchers by
his bedside said afterward that through
the window which overlooked the bay
they saw bark come sailing into the
harbor at that moment, and then vanish
before their eyes.-RehobOth Herald.

The Bazaar mt COnstantinople.

My guide led me through the dusty
passages, heaped on either hand with
ancient furniture, carpet, arms, en-
broideries, antique china, horse-trap-
pings, old plate, skins. trays, suberb
old braziers lately fashionable as lard
inieres, Indian ana Turkish naguilleys,
Albanian girdles and belts, inlaid work
of Tripoli, and gold-fretted silks of
Aleppo- briefly, with all forms and
sorts f articles which we are used to
term "curios." The mel chants sat
cross-legged among their goods upon a
faded carpet or upon bald leopard
skin-pushing Armenians; noisy Jews
in European dress or something like it /;
slow Turks; sallow, slender, smiling
Banniahs; wax-faced Persians, neat
and trim. My little Greek exchanged
word here and there, and upon the
information he received we changed
our course several times. Among the
oddities to be observed by the observ-
ant-in this oldest maze is the system
of passing word along" 1t is kept
secret-that Is, q stranger does not
easily obtain clew to its mysteries.
But so much came to my knowledge
through watching that L gained gen
eral idea. My guide would ask some
body at the gates-perhaps an individ-
ual stationed for that purpose-"Where
is the Tchirkess, in such and such cos
tune, who has basin for sale?" And
forthwith the inquiry is flashed from
stall to stall, from corridor to corridor
One man saw him in such spot at
such time, and sends back word to
that effect; another saw him later else
where. And so from point to point the
initiated catch hint, and quick Y as
they may go the verbal telegraph goes
quicker, so that in few moments the
person wanted learns that he is asked
for, and turns to meet his pursuer.

Unnecessary Work.

A lady who is convinced that at least
one-quarter of the work done by women
is unnecessary, saws the world would go
on quite as well without it. She likens
it to an ottoman-cover she once saw q
lady work
She was all bent up, and was putting
her eyes out counting stitches. II
don't get any time for reading" she
said, plaintively, as she picked up some
beads on needle. "You must have q
great deal of leisure"
And yet she had spent more time en-
bordering ridiculous dog on piece
of broadcloth than would have suIliced
to read twenty good books. 1t did not
have the poor merit of being economi-
cal, for the price of the materials would
have bought enough damask for two
covers.
A friend of mine tells of seeing q
squaw seat herself 10y the town pump,
unroll a bundle of calico, cut out a
dress, make it, put it on and walk off,
all in about two hours. i have always
regretted that he did not continue the
story by telling me that the squaw
spent her abundant leisure beautifully.
/ would not have women reduce their
sewing to quite so simple a perform
ance, but good deal would he gained
if they thought more about living and
less about its accidents. Youths Com

At Castle Connell are five immense
tanks, in which the cells are kept alive
and allowed to grow, the dead and weak
ones be ng dipped out every morning
by means of large landing nets, and
sold cheaply to poor people. 1t is
during this fishing process that the in
mates of the tanks are seen to the best
advantage, for every fin and tail are in
motion, swimming upward and down

all ages, sizes and degrees are there.
Thousands are there also in the tank,
varying in weight from two ounces to
twelve pounds. These latter are the

Tho hum OF toiling millions

Tho hum OF toiling millions
Has become an angry roar,
Their reyerberating echoes
Have reached from shore to shore.
It Is the cry Of countless thousands
That are clamorous for bread,
Toiling for n scanty sustenance,
Half wishing they were dead.
Hear the weeping wives and daughters
That are wailing in this land,
Soc the helpless sons and fathers,
How dejectedly they stand.
See the brawny sons OF labor.
How defiant is their gaze,
As they pray like ancient Sngas
For the boped-for better days.
Better days are always coming
To the honest men who toll,
While they're waiting, honest faces
Grow as furrowed as the soil.
Their eyes are dimmed, their shoulder
bowed
Beneath privetion's rod,
They have grown to hate their fellow man
And to distrust their God.
Let us espouse the sufferers cause,
It il the cause of right;
Help from despair the laboring man,
Raise him To the light.
Tell him their rights will conquer,
And, though the skies are overcast,
That truth il like the monday sun,
And will shine forth at last.
There's n better time coming,
All the people understand,
When the man that turns the furrow
Shall be owner of the land.
When the man that yields the hammer
In the works shall have n stake,
And the sailor shall share the profits
With the owner on the lake.
Organize cooperation.
II is the only thing to do:
1t will save the honest toiler
And the capitalist, too.
1t will bring us ali together
In the happy days to come,
When we all will have IN interest
In the toiieT5' busy hum.
