hob-goblins. The mansion is large white frame building. It is the last residence on West Beach going from the village. It was built when Port Jeffer- son was great ship building center, and from its piazza the then occupants watched the departure of the famous yacht America as she sailed proudly forth from the beautiful harbor to win the America's cup. After the tragedies of 1859 the house and farm came into possession of Emmet Darling and later on of his aunt, who became the wife and is now the widow of man named Davis. For many years she has lived practically alone in the old house. She is now past middle age. She is wo- man of stout heart and never be- lieved in ghosts, and she always per sisted in declaring that there was no ghost ill the barn where Waters hung himself. She has never acknowledged that she ever heard any screams ill the barn at night. The house is a fine mansion. It overlooks the bluff and in the rear is a grove of cedar trees, through which the wind soughs mourn- fully after dark. The view over the harbor and toward the sound is pleasant one, not surpassed on the north shore. It is no wonder the widow Davis braves the ghost rather than move away. The neighbors have heard the screams and are convinced of the presence of the ghost. The screams have been heard by more than dozen residents within three weeks. Those who remember when the spook was here before say it is the scream of | yOre.-EX.

Gathering Eider.DOwn.

The eider-duck constitutes the wealth and may be said to make the prosperity of the Icelanders. The islands, Vindey, Fingey, and Ahrey, in front of the harbor not far from Reykjavik, are the favorite haunts of the ducks. Here they pair and make their nests every year about the begin ming of June. When the busy female has chosen the place where she wishes to lay her eggs, she plucks from her plumage the feathers which she uses to line the bottom and sides of her nest then she generally lays six eggs, rarely more. During this time the drake, like the good father of family that he is, ceases not for a moment to keep a watchful eye on his consort, and fetches her back instantly if she gives the slightest indication of wishing to take walk. The next day the owner of the land comes, and carries away at the same time both the down and eggs. The unfortunate couple, which some times make stout resistance, cling ing to the clothes of the robber with their beaks, go off 8 short distance, and begin again, but the man comes once more, and takes the precious de- posit. The indefatigable mother goes to work anew, and this time only 8 few of their eggs are taken; for if all were removed from the nest the ue- predator, in daring too much, would lose all. Bnt this reserve is made solely as regards the eggs, for the down is removed once every week, and the
 poor mother continues to strip herself until she finds herself so bare that she has no longer wherewithal to line the moist hole that contains her eggs. The male, squatted near her, then comes to her assistance, and he too strips
 himself of his plumage, quality of down that the Icelanders distinguish easily from that of the female, because it is white, and taken from the crea- ture's sides. ....-.

Progress of Shipbuilding.

At no period in the history of ship building has such rapid progress been recorded as is now being made. Every large liner which is launched has im- provements on its predecessor, which all go toward increasing speed, safety, and general comfort. The amount of machinery in large steamship is very great, and new applications of steam apparatus are continually being found. Refrigerating, distilling, electric light and improved blowers are among the latest additions. During the last year there were built 765 vessels, having a tonnage of 927 1000. Of these Great Britain built ASA, having & tom mage of TT ,oOO, or s4 per cent. of the total number. Germany comes next with 87 vessels of 40, ,0OO tons. and the United States built 73 vessels of 38, ,00O tons. The last named were almost e.'- tirely oJ wood.

x82, ,OOO, 1000 For Cosmetics.

Behind a little table, on which were arranged bottles, pots, and boxes of washes, lotions, pastes, creams, and powders, Dr. Albert E. Ebert, Presi- dent of the Board of Pharmacy, talked to the members of the Women's Phys iological Institute at Ethical Hall yes terday afternoon on Cosmetics. He talked very plainly, too, fixing his points as he proceeded by exhibiting samples of most of the preparations popular with women. What he said was not so much condemnation of the use of cosmetics as it was an explana- tion of the swindles practiced by man. ufacturers. "There are 10000 of these preparations" he said, "and one firm alone in this city lists 4,O00 of them. Then he read seven simple formulas and gave the names of half-dozen el- ements, and said that every compound sold under whatever name contained nothing he had not named. "This little pot" he said, holding up cream, sshas at present wonderful reputa- ton on the strength of its secret form ula. What is it? Common zinc oxide, ground in equal parts of water and glycerine, and perfumed with rose. l will give you the formula;" and he did SO. "It has a pretty ribbon about.it, and sells for $1.50, or SIS dozen. What does it cost2 Ten cents." Then he showed the ladies what they were buying when they purchased another cream of wide reputation. "You pay $1.5O for it. It is pretty bottle and holds eight ounces. Seven of them are pure water.
 The other is calomel. Cost of calo- mel for dozen bottles, 33 cents; cost of bottles, 25 cents; filling and cork ing, cents; total 66 cents. Retail, SIS. The danger arising from the use of cosmetics," said the doctor, ''is great ly overdrawn. Face preparations have legitimate use, and properly used are no more harmful than perfumes. Zinc, when present in powders, pos sesses some curative powers, aud bis- muth is only slightly injurious.
 The principal trouble is the contin- ued application of powders and the stopping up of the capillaries of the face. Most face powders are only zinc, bismuth, magnesia, and chalk. Lead and mercury seldom enter into them. These are more frequently found in washes which get their only merit from the glyccrine or oil in which the elements are ground. In all of them there is no difference except as to name." Dr. Ebert had some figures which showed that $62, ,00O, ,O00 were spent in America each year for cos metics, of which $25 ,OOO, ,OOO were re- invested in advertising. and that the remainder, $15, ,0O0, ,OOO was a clean profit.

A Signal of Distress.

A new nautical distress signal has been successfully experimented with in England, the notable feature in this device being that no stick is required and there is no back fire, the rocket talk ing the form of metal cylinder, in the base of which is the propelling charge, above this being the charge of tonite, and above this again star com- position. The propelling charge is fired by simply pulling lanyard, and the signal is propelled upward at one impulse until the rocket has reached the maximum height, which is 600 feet. The stars are thrown out, giving bril- liant illumination, and the tonite charge then explodes, the noise of the explosion being equal to the firing of six-pound gun, but be- ing high up it is heard at a great dis tance. s.-
