to renew the body and the nervous

Ghost at Sea.

BALTIMORE, Dee. 27-The fine Que
bee bark Nadura, Captain Bernier,
arrived at Belts warf yesterday, one
hundred and ten days from Pisagua,
Chilli, with go tons OF nitrate Of so
ia. She also had on board several
sailors Who were anxious to 90 over
her side Captain Bernier, pleas
ant Canadian Freuchman, laughed
when he told a reporter the circum-
stances that gave rise 10 superstition
among some of his crew. He related
how the vessel left New York, Sep
tember ., 1887, with general cargo
for Brisbane, Australia, from where
she sailed for Newcastle, \. 5. W.
On November II, hazy, rough day,
the vessel WAS suddenly surrounded
by thousands of birds. Cap. Bernier
regarded this as 4 phenomena he
could not account for. About noon,
the cook, Maltese, named Theuma,
went forward to clean some fish, and
while at work the roll of the vessel
snapped the fastenings Of a piece of
wood on the weather side. The
piece uf wood was hurled through
the air with such force that, striking
Theuma IN the head, 1t cut his skull
half in two. One part of his skull
went overheard The man died in
stantlv. He was buried at sea the
same evening. and almost simultan-
eouslv with the descent Of his body
into the sea the myriad of birds dis
appeared. These facts are recorded
III the log Of the Madura. From
Newcastle the Ma1ura carried Goals
to Culao, aud, proceeding to Pisagua,
loaded for Baltimore. The vessel
had not been out long when a Nor
wcgiau began to complain Of seeing
a strange man III the forecastle at
night when the sailor was IN his
berth with the watch below His
tales were laughed at because he had
never seen the cook, having shipped
after the cooks death. But the ap-
partition continued to present itself
to the sailor, and the description he
gave Of his nocturnal visitor agreed
with that Il the beheaded man, and
with its repetition there grew an
abiding faith IL the minds Of others
that the ghost of the man accompan-
led the Madura. This mixture Of
fear aud fright was intensified when
the boatswGin, who looks rs If he
knew neither fear or sentiment, said
with bated brsath and buiged eyes
that he had seen the cook On deck.
Whether true or not, it was noticed
that the men were afterwards seen
more together during their night
watch on deck than previons TO the

known not TO be there IL the flesh

men seemed a little out Of the ordi-

We Must Eat Meat.

Il am disposed to exclude vege-
tables. said n physician Of experience,
to q Chicago Herald reporter, with
the exception Of cereals and fruit
from the diet Of nervous persons.
Why First. because animal food Is
more nutritious to the nervous sys-
TEN and to the body generally than
vegetable. Ii has all the essential
elements Tor the formation Of the
tissues Of the body and Is eJsily dI-
gesUed 1t appears 70 be the natural
food Of human beings. 1t seems
possible for man 10 exist on 1t alone
III any climate and continue IN nor
mai condition Of health. The first
food taken by man n-milk-is strictly
an animal substance. It contains all
the elements necessary to the growth
Of the human body and 10 its main
tenance IN a state of health This
cannot be said of any one article Of
vegetable food. Then, the nervous
system consists largely Of fat. This
substance must be supplied in some
form or other IN order that the brain
and other nerve structures shall be
properly nourished. Il 4 person uses
up his brain faster than he makes it
he soon becomes nervous and irTita-
bic. If he does not assimilate enough
food TO supply its demands his mind
Is sure to become weak
The healthiest and strongest indi-
viduals, even, should eat a far great
er portion Of meat than OF vegetable
food Beef should be taken as the
standard meat. l. answers every

pork are not as easily digested.
Pork, 50 far rs It's composition goes,
/ Is an excellent food for nervous per
sons, but 1t Is not readily digested.
Yet III the army we used 10 think
nothing was better for the wounded
men than bacon. As n rule, salt
meat Is not adapted 10 the require

The flesh Of wild birds Is more

A Spiders Telephone.

While a gentleman was watching

habit of regarding the sound made

He selected a large ugly spider that
he'd been feRstipg on flies for two
months. The spider was at one
edge of its web. Sounding the fork
he touched thread at the other sids
of the web and watched the result.

veyed to him over his telephone wires,

very quickly. and felt all around IN

piece of rope, be ran out to the fork
and sprang upon 1t. But he retreat

He WAS much puzzled. He had ex

on the fork again, and danced witt
delight. He had caught the sound
of the fly and it was music to him
