Mistakes About Rats and Sharks

Captain Powell, late master of th
bark Gray Eagle, in speaking to Her,
aid representative, turned some of the
old sailors superstitions bottom upward.
Capt. Powell said that the impression
that rats would leave a sinking ship
was altogether fallacious, if the ship
was In the ocean, as an ordinary rat had
sense enough not to try to swim to q
shore hun lrcds of miles distant
"That sort of thing" he said, ''micht
work in Bear Creek or somewhere I'D
the head of the Potomac, but it's burned
foolishness to tell me that anything
Twin is goin' to leave q thing that Is
supposed to be sinkin' before the thing
is actually sunk"
Capt. Powell also stated that it was a
mistaken idea that q shark alway,
turned on his back before he opcned
his mouth wide enough to swallow a
man. He said the mate of a vessel
which he once commanded accidentally
fell overheard near the mouth of the
Amazon river, and that u shark swal-
lowed him without even making any
effort to turn over. The Captain said
the shark was caught few hours later.
and upon dissecting its anatomy the
mate was found in the fsh's stomach.
The mate was cut through in the mid
die, but his leather boots were entirely
intact - Baltimore Herald.

that there is SO little learning in the

cause the people can get along just as

The projectors of the scheme TO con.
struct an underground rapid transit sys.
tenn in New York city, are sanguine Of
success, and says that enough money
has already been promised to construct
tunnel under the East river between
the New York and Brooklyn city halls,
In order to give practical demoastra-
ton of the feasibility of the enter prise.
From estimates based upon the work of
constructing the new Croton aqueduct,
1t is asserted that the whole tunnel
could be excavated, working from fifty
shafts, in two years. The total expense
is computed at $50, 900, 900, of which
only s13, 200, 600, is for tunnel excava-
fion. The lining of the tunnel, esti'
mated at Sc, 500, 900, the cost of real es
tate for terminals and stations, track
laying, ventilating machinery and equip
ment of the road consume the larger
half OF the estimate. Surveys and
soundings have been made and plans
drawn. The projectors profess to be
willing to carry passengers at a uniform
rate OF five cents for any distance, rely
ing upon the revenue to be derived from
freight transfer to pay the interest Cd
the investment and afford a profit.

After the Battle.

1t was after the din of the battle
Had ceased, in the silence and gloom
When hushed was the musketry's rattle,
And quiet the lannon's deep boom.
The smoke Of the conflict had lifted,
And drifted away from the sun,
While the soft crimson light, slowly fadi,.
from sight,
Flashed back from each motionless gm
The tremulous notes of bugle
Rang out on the clear autumn air.
And the echoes caught back from the roo,,,
tains
Faint whispers, like breathings Of prav.r
The arrows of sunlight that slanted
Through the trees touched a brow white ..
snow.
On the bloody sod lying, mid the dead and
the dying,
And it flushed in the last parting glow,
The dark, crimson tide slowly ebbing
Stained red the light Jacket of gray.
But another in blue sadly knelt by his sids
And watched the life passing away.
Said the jacket in gray, 1--WE brother
Joe Turner-he lives up in Maine.
Give him these-and say my last message
Was forgiveness Here a low moan q,
pain.
Checked his voice. Then-"You'll do M.
this favor,
For you shot me"-and his whispers sank
low.
Said the jacket in blue, Brother Charlie.

Miss Norcross' time was now her own; she
was accountable to no supervisor. Her
brother was a cipher. He did not venture to
intrude upon her, except at seasons when she
was at leisure, and in humor to be bored by
him. Perhaps she looked back regretfully
but, as far as could be told by her manner,
she carried herself proudly, with the air OF
one who says
Better reign in hell than serve in heaven.'
The observant reader has doubtless won
dered before this, that Mr.. Norcross did not,
in his emergency, apply to his old clerk,
Trainer, for the money in exchange for the
peculiar obligation of which mention has been
made. 1t is presuming too much upon Mr..
Norcross' studidity to suppose that the idea
had not frequently occurred to him. But he
was satisfied that Trainor was one Of
the few who were making money in this time
of general distress, and that with every days
acquisition the paper became more valuable;
therefore, it was his last trump, he preferred
to play it when it would sweep the board;
and he was willing to live in any way until
the proper time came. Not SO easy was
Iralnor. Several times he attempted to pay
the claim, so that he could once more hold
his head erect as free man. But Norcross
smiled blandly; Che was in no hurry" he
said; "Mr. Trainor evidently had money,
and was good for the amount" Poor
