who has been digging for Capt. Kids treas
ure, and who turned up an iron kettle fuAl OF
Spanish silver coins on the beach adjoining
his farm, opposite the summer resort, West
port, has arrived at his home in Johnston
with his money. He denies that his grand
father ever had ything to do with pirates
or that his father ever told him anything OF
the buried treasure.
He said that two years ago he became the
possessor of piece Of parchment that ap-
parently had served as a drum head, and
which had been converted into a chart pur-
porting to describe the location OF three lots
of buried gold, silver and other valuables
cached by pirate many years ago. The
lines were drawn as though with sharpened
stick
On the char were three points designating
the burial places of the wealth. The starting
place was rock on Horse Neck Point, a
wild piece of land When this parchment
was found, Eddy was confident it was valu-
able document He determined that no one
should know of his plans, and without inn
parting a hint Of what he was aboutshe be-
gan operations at the place indicated.
He readily found the rock, but his labors
during the summer of 1887 were not re-
warded During the past summer he con-
tinued there. He proceeded cautiously and
patiently and worked his way In the course
directed, and last Monday made the discov-
cry. He declares that it win be an easy
matter to find the rest OF the wealth.
One of the two undiscovered treasures Ia
stated in the chart to be gold coin and the
other diamonds or jewelry. The unearthed
treasure, Mr. Eddy says, win stay where 1t
is until he gets ready to secure It,

The once seeking the Man.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-The secretary Of
the navy is undergoing an experience seldom
known among cabinet officers. 1t is the usual
fate of such officials to be practically besieged
by Office seekers from the moment they take
possession of their portfolios until four years
later, when they relinquish their grasp on
the handle. One month ago the promotion
of typewriter and clerk in the bureau of
steam engineering left $500 vacancy to
be filled. The civil service commission
was called upon to furnish a list
of eligibles for the selection of clerk to fill
the place The selection was made, but the
appointee declined the Office. Another and
another declined. Now Geographic refusal
has been received from the twelfth appointee
A similar experience is being undergone in
filling a position at $3.50 in the naval war
records office Nine ladies have refused the
appointment, and the tenth has just been
notified of her selection. The difficulty In
both of these cases seems to be with the
salaries offered. The civil service commits
sioner is overburdened with applicants, but
all want good salaries.

the Howard mission in this city forty years

for twenty-five years the work of rescuing
children from the slums and finding Chris

1t was largely through his efforts that the
notorious Five Points was cleaned out and
some of its vile dens replaced by mission
houses For the past fifteen years Dr. Van
Meter has been engaged in missionary school
work among the children of Italy.

WHITE SHOULD rnEDonrxArE.

Children should be dressed as well from
infancy as the means of their mothers per-
NIT; thus only can they grow up with that
ease in dress and the habit of it which are
essential to its effect. The dress Of chill
dren should be simple and never overladen.
but it should be picture-like and white
should predominant. Nothing suits the
soft lines and colors Of childhood so we'll as
white-indeed, at all ages white dress is
beautiful. It is Of all things the most
agreeable to wear because, as it shows ev-
erY speck Of dirt, perfect cleanliness is in
sured by it. Marie Antoinette preferred
white gowns to those of any color. and
most women Of any delicate taste will show
the same preference The dominance of
black which is seen chiefly in London is an
error. Il gives most gloomy aspect to
concerts and parties, and nothing collects
dust so rapidly. Black or gray is well worn
by those women who are obliged to go about
alone and on foot, because thus clad they
attract little notice in the streets; but for
the woman OF the world, who usually drives
wherever she goes, in cities, this reason for
the adoption Of sombre garb does not exist.
and it is q fallacy to suppose that black is
becoming. White clears the complexion,
but black d1lls it, unless, indeed, the black
be black velvet, now SO seldom used yet
in which everybody, male and female, old
and young, dark and fair look their best
in cold weather.

Boil pigs head two hours in four quarts

marioram. Cut the flesh from the bones,
mince it fine and return to liquor, with
pepper and salt. Add enough buckwhsat
and corn meal to thicken, about one-thiFd
corn meal to two-thirds the buckwheat is
the right proportion. Simmer all together
two hours more, when it should be like soft
mush, but not too thick to pour into pans.
When it is cold 1t should be firm, so that
you can slice it FOR frying. To fry, sprin-
klo each slice with wheat fionr; when there
has been any fat in the scrapple it will re-

HOW TO OBTAIN HEALTH.

The great secret of unyarying health is
before everything, to have body in high
state Of yigor, and once having that. to
keep it. There is less wisdom in studying
the ways Of curing an ailing frame than in
giving your attention to those of obtaining
a hardy one that never becomes ailing. A
proper physique sheds pains, aches, disor-
ders, Illness, diseases and epidemics as
duck does water; and enables It's owner to
laugh at doctors bills. 1t confers upon its
possesscr happiness amid the heaviest mis-
fortunes, and gives the surest promise of
longevity. To obtain it, have some regular
business that viii give you an interest in
life and make you alive all over, without
oyerworking you; shun care and worry; be
systematic in youI habits; avoid dissipa-
ton; sleep enough; eat plain, wholesome
food, the best of its kind: and, above all,
devote yourself methodically to some ath-
letie pursuit, such as viii give you exer-
else all round, and spend all the time you
can in the open air. Then forget you have
body that can by any possibility get out
of order, and never think of your health

MRS. ARRIsON.

When Mrs. Harrison takes the place of
mistress of the White House she will DO SO
with the advantage of having had full
insight into the intricacies of Washington
society. In this respect she will begin her
four-year course of dnties better equipped
than was Mrs. Cleveland when, so young
and unaccustomed to the formal ways of
the capitals social life, she began with her
romantic marriage her brilliant, tactful,
and popular reign.
Few, in fact, Of the gentlewomen of re-
cent administrations who have had the
honor to head the Presidential household
have had the preliminary experience at the
capital that Mrs. Harrison has had. That
fair daughter of Albany, Mrs McElroy,
who was mistress during President Ar
thurs term, bad had not more than
glimpse of official society. Mrs. Cleveland
had had none at all. Mrs Grant had
something to support her, because her hus-
band had been prominent for five years
previous to his eight winters in the Chief
Magistrates home, and though there was
then little opportunity in those war days
for her to lead or shine socially, still she
shared in degree the emlnence of her war
rior spouse. Mrs. Hayes had very little
experience, as was manifested by the rath-
er commonplace character of her four
years occupancy. Mrs. Garfield had had
number of years to learn when her hus-
band was leader among leaders in the
House of Representatives. Her prepare
tory training for the cares of the White
House was something similar to that
which Mrs. Harrison has enjoyed.
So it may be expected that the success
full management of the delicate affairs of
state dinners and receptions and of the
questions Of precedence and social etiquette
which has so marked the reign of Mrs.
Cleveland will mark, too, the term of this
new mistress. And if the Republican Ad-
ministration sets out to celebrate its return
to power with great events in social life,
Mrs. Harrison, by virtue of her experience
when her husband was Senator from In
diana, will be well prepared to lead the
wives Of the Cabinet members.--N Y Sun.
