Luck Struck Them.

The natives of the Gilbert group Of
islands have enjoyed veritable wind
fall. A large ship with a full cargo
and nobody on board sailed into their
harbor The vessel was the British
ship Rock Terrace, and the strange
part about the matter is that the ship
was abandoned by her crew about
twelve months ago, and, instead of
laundering soon, she drifted on and
on until she reached the Gilbert
islands. She left Philadelphia for
Japan in September, 1887, with a
cargo of oil and phosphates valued at
$125, ZOO. When near the Philippine
island the crew abandoned their YES
sci, landing on an island close by, all
of them being saved. Nothing further
was heard of her and the underwriters
paid tho sum for which she was in
sured. She had but q few inches Of
water in her hold and was in fair con-
dition. She was owned in st. John,

The minimizing are prone to make game
of nervousness. Yet this is very real and
serious affection, the harasslng symptoms of
which are rendered all the more poignant
by ridicule The stomach is usually respon-
sible for these symptoms-its weakness and
disorder find a reflex in the brain, which is
the headquarters of the nervous system.
AS nerve tonic and tranquillizer, we be-
lieye that not one can be pointed out so
effective as Hostetters Stomach Bitters./ In
renewing vigorous digestion, it strikes the
key note of recovery of strength and quie-
tude by the nerves. Headaches, tremors i'm
quiet sleep, abnormal sensitiveness to unex-
pected noises-all these modify and ulti-
mately disappear as the system gains
strenth from the great tonic. Dyspepsia.

kidney complaints are subdued by the Bit

Private Information.

A young diplomat was at court
ball in Russia not long before the
death of Nicholas. The young man
was dancing, and, it seems, danced
badly. Now Nicholas liked to have
things done smartly at his balls, and,
walking up to the young man, he said (:
"When one does not know how to
dance, one does not dance at all.p 1t
was most unusual thing for the great
autocrat to address q remark to any
body, and Russian society, crowding
about the young man, asked what the
car had said. The young diplomat
had the wit to reply: ellis majesty's
most gracious words being intended
for myself alone, 1 do not feel at lib
erty to repeat them" On the strength
of this he had great success in st. Pc

A MAeIclAN,s STORY.
United States Minister Moran Initiates
Cassandra and Proves Jonah.

United States Minister Moran Initiates
Cassandra and Proves n Jonah.
Kellar, the magician, has pretty
thoroughly covered the globe in his
travels, and has come out safe and
sound. He says he never met with
but one accident in all his wanderings,
but that one experience was queer
enough, he thinks, to make up for the
lack of many others He tells the
story in this way:
1T was something like ten or twelve
years ago that left Lisbon, Portugal,
one fine summer morning on q steam
er bound for Southampton. The
steamer was one of the stanchest on
the line, the weather was particularly
pleasant and verybody was figuring
on speedy and enjoyable run. Be
fore we had been out of Lisbon many
hours l found that Benjamin Moran,
the United States minister to Portugal,
was passenger on the steamer. Mr..
Moran introduced himself to me, and
on the strength of our both being
Americans and in the company of a lot
of Portuguese and foreigners, we speed
lily struck upon acquaintance. After
chatting on various subjects and ex-
changing experiences, we fell to in
cidentally talking about the prospective
voyage. said something about the
pleasant trip l expected, but Moran
laughingly checked me with these
words: Mr.. Kellar, we are doomed to
meet with an accident. Though he
said it with q smile, there was trace
of seriousness in his manner, and
asked him what he meant. He re-
piled that he had never made single
trip, by rail or water, that he could
remember without meeting with some
unexpected delay or accident. Some
of the machinery i'll the locomotive
had broken down, or the train had
been derailed, or somebody had been
run over, or the ships shaft had
broken, or the vessel had been wrecked.
L am q veritable Jonah, he added,
with laugh, and just as sure as you
and are talking here on this deck,
this ship will meet with an accident
and my record will stand unbroken.'
l tried to laugh away his super
stition, but he wouldn't have it,
and persisted in his alarming proph-
esy. You may not believe what l tell
you, but, on my honor, the sky cloud
ed up within three hours after my
conversation with Mr.. Moran, a fog
spread over the water and early in the
evening the steamer ran her nose on
ledge of rocks and hung fast. She
hung there with her bow in the air
just long enough for all the passen-
gers to Chamber down on to the reef
and then with a lurch backwards she
ran off the rocks and sank in more
than q hundred fathoms of water. We
had tough time of it that night on
the rocks, but the next morning the
weather cleared and we were picked
up by passing steamer. Nobody was
injured, but ever since that trial 1
have always had dislike for travel
ing with Jonah. New York Mail

a Hindoo Cremation.

Upon o pile of wood about six feet
long by four high is placed the corpse
of Hindoo, wrapped in white sheet
and tied between two bamboo poles
Over this wood is again placed, while
the head and feet project from either
end. 1t is the duty of the widow, if
there be one, to light the funeral pile.
In this case there is not and it is done
by coolie who seems to have charge of
affairs. The wood ignites at once, the
flame at first gives place to a smoke
which it soon overcomes, and in TWEEN
ty minutes nothing remains but a few
blackened embers; all vestiges of the
the body are gone. While this was
taking place no less than four other
piles had been erected for bodies that
were lying about, some partly in the
water, some partly on shore like SO
many blocks of wood. Cremation
takes place not more than six hours
after death. Tho body is borne from
the house to the burning CHAT on the
shoulders of six men, followed by ma
tives who are hired to wall and lament
for the departed. Formerly the widow
was compelled to burn herself upon
her husbands funeral pile. Now she
has not that privilege, thanks to the
English, but becomes, unless wealthy,
the slave of her mother-in-law.
Surely one can pardon such Great
ure's praying for the death of her hus-
bands mother. 1t was a most impress
sive sight to see and one that will be
indelibly stamped upon my memory.
The Hindoo's ashes are thrown into
the Ganges, and he believes they are
thus carried on to Paradise. -Benares
