Quite as Strange as Fiction.

What romantic story Of D real treas,
ure island is that which the Japan Week
W NGH reports Two millions sterling
in doubloons, with no end of jewels and
plate, cached somewhere in the Pacific
by piratical English Lieutenant, who
cut out the brig containing the treasure
and slowed away his booty in safe place
on an unnamed island of the Marianne
group. The pirates quarre ed; the Lieu
tenant, two officers and the cabin boy
fired the ship and fled in q ships boat
One of the officers was murdered before
reaching land. The cabin boy was clap
ped into prison as pirate. The Lieu
tenant and surviving officer chartered
schooner and went off for the treasure.
The officer tipped the Lieutenant over
board and then, being threatened with
punishment unless he revealed the place
of the treasure, the solitary survivor fill
ed his pockets with lead and iron and
dropped into the sea, leaving rs the only
clue handful of his hair, plucked out
in an effort to save him from drowning,
and chart of the unnamed, unknown
treasure island. The Spanish authorl-
ties hold the chart, the island holds the
treasure, and an effort to discover 1t
made by an English Captain who be-
lieves he has a clue to the secret has just
had mysterious termination. The Cap
tain on landing to look for the treasure
was deserted by his men, who carried off
the ship. The whole story looks like a
variant on Mr.. Stevenson's story by some
Japanese journalist of genius. But it
may be true for all that, and if so We
shall not have long to wait before hear
ing of fresh expedition,--PaN MaU

A Georgia HOrseman's Daring Leap.

It was in the sixties. MitchelI's
bridge across Mulberry Creek was the
tallest in Harris county. A swell in tho
creek had misplaced an arch and doz-
en- men had assembled to repair the
| damage. The flooring for twelve feet
| had been removed. 1t was twenty-five
feet to the water beneath
Suddenly the hammers ceased, and
the men listened intently to the ap-
preaching clatter of horses hoofs.
''It's jess, by granny" said one.
'He's splttin' the wind, too" said
another.
''That little FLY knows how to pick
up her feet, and she don't study about
it neither" said number three.
''Dang my buttons"
This was said just as the rider appear
ed in sight, presenting a picture of ro-
bust manhood, guiding with unerring
hand the fleetest little mare in Western
Georgia. He was clad in fine broad
cloth suit, his feet in pair of the best
calf skin boots, and they armed and or
namented with neat, small spurs.
On he came.
The men were lost in admiration and
stood with mouth and eyes wide open,
transfxed to the spot.
He neared the bridge.
AS if by magic the crowd were awak-
ened to the horrible death that awaited
the man should he attempt to pass over
the bridge.
''Stopl stop" shouted the men.
"The floors upl"
"You can't cross"
The horses hoofs struck the bridge.
"Head him Off"
"He'll be killed."
"Stop his horse!'
And they ali rushed to the middle of
the bridge.
"Clear the track!" whooped the i'm
petuous rider, and the way was cleared.
He reached the brink. The gallant
mare paused-trembled. The men
stood breathless. The rider planted
himself firmly on the saddle, gathering
the reins tighter, and sank the spurs
deep into the sides of the mare.
She squatted, leared wildly into the
air, and landed safely beyond the awful
gap.
With unslackened pace and without
sound save the Gathering of the horses
hoofs, both steed and rider disappeared
over the hill.-HamIton Journal.

How to Make Cucumber Pickles.

The first pickles are always the best.
Select plump, freshly picked cucum-
bers, of any size desired. Take water
enough to cover them well; add salt
enough to make brine that will bear
up potato until it can be seen above
the surface of the brine, about the size
of a ten cent piece; pour this boiling
hot over the pickles-do not cover
them, but when cold lay something on
that will keep them under the brine, as
those that float will become soft; leave
them twenty-four hours, then drain
them and cover with boiling water; let
them stand also twenty-four hours,
keeping them under the water. The
third day drain and pack in stone jars.
TO three gallon jar put in enough
pickles to fill about one third full, then
a thin layer of sliced onions, then n
cheese cloth bag about eight or ten
inches square, in which put a small
tablespoonful of black pepper, two
ounces stick cinnamon broken rather
small half tablespoonful of allspice,
small tablespoonful Of cloves; mustard
seed, mace or any other fiavoring may be
added. Horseradish cut in strips, and
three or four red peppers may also be
added. Then repeat-pickles, spices,
etc. Cover all with boiling cider vine
gar, as weak as will keep the pickles. 1
generally add half water to the vinegar
or more. If too sour, the pickles are
not good and they become soft. The
scalding hardens them and also makes
them green; the spices preserve them
from moulding. AS soon rs they are
cold they should be covered to keep |
them well under the vinegar and the |
jars also covered to keep out dust, and |
they must be kept in a very cool place.
Do not wash them at first, as handling
breaks the skin and they will not keep
as we'll. Stirring them once or twice a
week is q good plan, as 1t prevents
mould from gathering.

the boys proceeded to have a glorious
time, regardless of expenses. They
hired livery rigs, drove about in them,
and otherwise spent the cash, until the
detectives took them in. They had less
than $5 of the money left.
Young Johnnie has had an interesting
career. When nine years old burglary
on the west side was traced to him, as
he tried to dispose of the stolen goods
at q pawnshop. On account of his
youthful appearance the pawnbroker re-
fused to receive the goods, whereupon
the little genius went out and returned
with an order from his father (subse-
| quently ascertained to have been written
by himsel). This resulted in the arrest
of both, but after a nights imprison-
ment the boy confessed.
Next day it was proposed to have the
boy committed to the industrial school,
but Judge Mallory was out of town, and
SO he was transferred to the county Jail
to await the judges arrival. While the
jailer was showing visitors through the
Jail Johnnie watched his opportunity,
quietly passed through the door, and
made good his escape. For three months
the officers were unable to get trace of
him. Then, one day, they ascertained
that he had returned to his home, in the
rear of st. Calls Church, and surprised
the diminutive fugitive from justice.
When the officers walked into the room
little nine-y year-old Johnnie sat on a
chair with his feet cooked up on table
aud industriously smoking a cigarette.
The next day Judge Mallory sent him
out to the industrial school for boys at
Waukesha. 1t was about a week after
this that Detective Rannifin was walking
up Grand avenue.
"Shine, sir2" said a piping voice in
the doorway.
The officer was staggered. There was
the identical little chap who but q few
days before had been sent out to the
reform school.
"Why," said he, in surprise, show
did you manage to get away2"
"Easy enough; no trick at all" was
the reply, in a tone of lofty indifference,
as though breaking jail and escaping
from the guards of the industrial school
were an every day sort of affair.
The officer allowed Johnnie to take ad-
vantage of his runaway propensities,
but it was only short time thereafter
that he got into trouble again, this time
for stealing watch, and since then he
has been getting into trouble similarly
at regular intervals.

How 10 Shampoo Ones Own Hair.

Half the pleasure of having the hair
washed and groomed is to have some one
do it who knows how. In England, in
the large stores, there is department of
hair dressing where an accomplished
barber, with every convenience for show
ering and drying, will wash the hair of
ladies for one shilling. In this country
good shampoo costs from so cents to
$l-which is large sum for so simple
an operation.
After combing the snarls from the hair,
braid it loosely and bind the end with n
small elastic band. Draw tepid water in
basin and first wash the scalp
thoroughly with CASTLE soap; then let
the braid fal in the water, soap it and
wash as if clothes. Afterwards thorough
ly rinse and wiring the braid in towel.
Wipe the head dry, undo the braid and
brush out, beginning at the lower end,
when it will not tangle. Let the hair
loose in the sun and air and it will drv
in less than half an hour. A womau's
hair should be washed at least monthly
If kept fine and healthy.

A CURE FOR SLEEPLESSNESS.
1t Consists of New Principle of
Thinking.
[From the London snectator.l

The terrible evil of insomnia has so
many different sources, that the utmost
we can hope from any single atifice is to
afford relief from it under one special
form. l venture to think I have hit
upon the plan which thus remedies a
very common (not an aggravated) kind
of sleeplessness; and, with your permis-
sion, will endeavor to make your readers
who may be ellow-sufferers Sharers in
my discovery.
1t is now, L believe, generally accept
ed that our conscious, daylight, think
ing processes are carried on in the sinis-
ter half of our brains-i. e., in the lobe
which coutrols the action of the right
arm and leg. Pondering on the use of
the dexter half of the brain-possibly in
all unconscious cerebration, and in what
soever may be genuine of the mysteries
of planchette and spirit-rapping-I came
to the conclusion shared, no doubt, by
many other better qualified inquirers)
that we dream with this lobe, and that
the fantastic, immoral, spritelike char
acter of dreams is, in some way, trace
able to that fact. The practical infer
ence then struck me; to bring back sleep
when lost, we must quiet the conscious,
thinking, sinister side of our brains,
and bring into activity only the dream
side, the dexter lobe. To do this, the
only plan | could devise was to compel
myself to put aside every waking
thought, even soothing and pleasant
ones, and every effort of daylight men,
ory, such as counting numbers or the re-
petition of easy flowing verses, the latter
having been my not wholly unsuccessful
ofI of ol1
this saw I must think of dream, the
more recent the better, and go over and
over the scene it presented.
Armed with this idea, the next time I
found myself awakening at or o'clock
in the morning, instead of merely trying
to Danish painful thoughts and repeat
ing, as was my habit, that recommenda-
BILE sporifc, Paradise and the Peri"

which l had awakened, and tried to go
on with it. In moment 1 was asleep
And from that time, the experiment
often repeated, has scarcely ever failed.
Not seldom the result is sudden as the
fall of curtain, and seems like charm.
A friend to whom [ have confded my
little discovery tells me that, without
any preliminary theorizing about the
lobes of the brain, she had hit upon the
same plan to produce sleep, and had
found it efficacious.
should be very glad to hear if other
sufferers can obtain the precious boon in
the same way. The evils of prolonged
wakefulness and of the drug taking to
which its victims are too often driven are
alike so terrible that | make no apology
for offering my humble contribution of
one more harmless remedy to obviate
them. f. P. G..

VIRGINIA SHERWOOD DEAD.
A Daring Woman Whom All Oid
Circus-Goers Will Remembers.

Nine. Virginia Sherwood, formerly
one of the handsomest women and most
daring bareback equestriennes IN the
country, died of consumption at the
residence of her sister-in-law, Mrs. John
Mclaughlin, in Pittsburgh, Pa. She
will be remembered by old circus goers
as one of the bravest women who was
admired for her courage and skill in
handling horses. She adopted the cir
Gus profession when mere child, and
her feats of daring horsemanshlp soon
made her famous. Her sister Bridget,
seeing the success 'Nancy, as she was
then known, met with, also determined
to become rider. and had the latter
tench her the business. Bridget chanS-
ed her name to Bridgeita, ana also Oe-
came daring horsewoman. While go
ing througha thrilling performance with
half a dozen horses at New Orleans one
night she missed her footing while
jumping from the back of one to the
other and fell down between the animals.
The latter grew frightened, notwith-
standing her efforts to quiet them, and
began to rear and plunge wildly. In
falling off Bridgetta managed to grab
the main of ona of her horses with one
hand, and, with her body half on the
ground, was dragged around the ring
for considerable distance. One of the
horses trampled ON her and injured her
SO seriously that she died in short
time after being carried out of the ring.
The accident threw the spectators into a
panic. A number of people were injur-
ed in the rush for the opening In the
tent which followed.
After her sisters death "Nancy'' left
the circus business. In short time she
was back again. The accident to Bridg-
eta did not make her afraid, rs she
grew more daring. She married Charles
the greatest rider of the time
and then had her name announced on
the bills as "Madame Virginia Sher-
wood, which was the name she retained
for the remainder of her life. While |
they were in New York City Mr.. and
Mrs. Sherwood, having no children OF
their own, went to founding asylum
and secured boy and q girl. They |
taught the children how to ride, and |
both became noted for their skill and |
bravery. Ida Sherwood, as the little girl |
was aftsrward known, became associated |
with Robert Stickney, the great bare
back rider, and they fell i'll love with |
each other. They were married about |
IS years ago and Mrs. Stickney is still |
living, but not actively engaged in the
business. Upon the death of her hus-
band, Nine. Sherwood, who had amassed
n considerable fortune, quit the show
business and went to live with her fami-
ly in the old Mclaughlin homestead in
this city, where she died.
