A Bone Mine.

That was q strange cargo which the
steamship Wiugates brought into this
port last week from far Alexandria,
Egypt. Seven hundred tons of-what? ?
Geese, villainW No, sir; bones.
Seven hundred tons of bones of man
and beast, gathered in the shifting sands
OF the great Sahara. For centuries have
they been left in the track of passing
caravans. For centuries this ghastly
treasury has grown in wealth. Bones of
Arab chief and negro slave; of European
traveller and of captive in savage war;
together they have lain and whitened
while the shining sand whirled and
nr1fted about tham, now giving them
shallow burial and now laying them bare
and glittering under the burning sun.
One would have said that no brain but
o Yankees could have conceived the
idea OF turning these grim relics to a
commercial account. But as it happens,
it was German inspiration. A German
mind conceived the thought of going to
this awful desert, rich in bones as was
Slnbad's dreadful Valley of Diamonds,
and gathering up shiploads of them to
be used In the manufacture of paper, in
the refining Of sugar, for the handles of
knives and for fertilizing the ground.
The Wingates had disastrous voyags.
The sailors said it was call along O. the
bones" But she has come safely to port
and Is now discharging her curious
cargo, in which there is moro food for
fancy than in any cargo which has been
entered in New York for many O day

A Miser's Hatfuls OF Gold.

Joseph w. Griffith, who died recently
at Huntington, Ind, was one of the
most eccentric characters in Northern
Indiana. He elived almost en- tirely alone,
and had a great aversion to women.
After his death the undertaken who
took charge of the remains found
in Griffith's trousers pockets the
sum of $4,000 in currency. In various
places about the store were found
hatfuls of silver and gold, all covered
with dust having apparently been un-
disturbed for years; promisory notes ex-
ecuted by leading business men, run
ming far up into the thousands, were
found among tho effects of this singular
man, Griffith having refused no one whom
he deemed worthy and responsible. His
entire property amounts to over $50, 900,
and it is not thought he left q will.
For a week before his death he was al
most totally blind, but despite his in
trinity insisted On remaining alone and
taking care of himself, refusing bluntly
all oilers of aid from his friends and
relatives. William Griffith, of Hunting
ton, q brother of tho dead man, will in
herit the property. York Sun.

Eating Muskrat.

"Did ever eat muskrat2" said Depu-
ty Register James A. Visger "Welf,
should remark. It's the incest, gamiest
and most delicious meat you ever put
into your mouth. But you have to look
out when you catch 'em. See that fin.
ger2"
Mr.. Visger held up the index finger of
his right hand. 1t was all scared and
mutilated at the top.
81 had speared twenty-six muskrats
that day, about thirty years ago. 1t
was down on the River Ecorse. When
had speared one fellow took hold
of him by the head instead of the
tail, and he nearly took that finger off.
But would sooner cat one muskrat
than five pounds of porterhouse steak.
When the boys used to go on q muskrat
hunt In the old days, and catch fifteen
or twenty apiece, they would sit down
in the muskrat houses play cards to sec
who would win tho lot. 1t generally
ended by ono man winning the whole
pile, and he would go staggering home
under load of 100 to 200 rats. Dstroit

A BIG WHALING STORY.
n Schooner Shaken by Collision
With Monster Whale.

Captain Samuel Fotlrick, OF tho schooner
James H. Gordon. which has arrived at Bal.

sometimes as far as the eye could reach,

whales raced after one auO.h.r through tn,

AT $3.50 o'clock on the morning of the 18th
the Gordon suddenly 'brought up" being
shaken from stem to stern Lookin. over
the bow, it was seen that the vessel had
struck monster whale. Th. water was dis.
colored and bloody, showing that the Cor

Tho Palm Tree.

Among tho Indians of Brazil there is q
tradition that the whole human race
sprang from q palm tree, says Vick's
Magazine. It has been a symbol of ex-
cellence for things good and beautiful
Among the sncients 1t was an emblem
Of victory, and, as such, was worn by the
carly Christian martyrs. and has been
found sculptured on their tombs. Tho
Mohsmedaps venerate it. Certain trees,
said to have been propagated from some
originally planted by tho prophets
daughter, are hold sacred and the fruit
sold at enormous prices. The day upon
which Christ entered Jerusalem, riding
upon the colt Of an ass, is called Palm
Sunday, being the first day of tho Holy
Week. In Europe real palm branches
are distributed among tho people.
Goethe says:
In Rome, on Palm Sunday,
They have the true palm,
The cardinals bow reverently
And sing old psalms
Elsewhere these songs arc sung mid olive
branches;
Moro southern climes must be content with
the sad willow.
The books relating to. the religion of
Buddha were nearly all of them writtcn
upon the leaves of the fan palm, and by
missionaries they have been used in the
place of paper. The noble aspect of
this tree, together with its surprising
utility, has caused it to be called "the
prince of the vegetable kingdom" and
It has been immortalized in history,
mythology and poetry.

CapsiZe OF a Torpedo Boat.

The wreck of torpedo boat is some
thing of novelty in marine disasters.
Such an accident happened in the Bay
of st. Nazaire, near Toulon, recently to
the French torpilleur mo. 1O2," com.
manded by Lieutenant Shilling. The
vessel was of mediocre and disapproved
type, of recent construction, thirty five
meters long and of tifty-three tons dis,
placement, very capricious in rough
weather, and easily carsized. That was
filled and sank in forty-fivc minutes,
causing the death of three unfortunate
machinists confined in the hold, and of
three of the crew who were drowned in
the heavy sea. Lieutenant Shilling and
the others clupgto the capsized vessel,
and were rescued by another torpedo
boat Of the five which were manu uvring G
in the bay together.

Incidents Of q Great Drought.

An every day incident of the drought
which has prevailed in the Riverina dis.
trict of New South Wales is described
by an eye witness, who says: "When a
mob of sheep gets near tank rush
for water takes place, all crowding to
get drink at the much.coveted fluid.
The strong trample on the weak, who
go down. and either got drowned OF
smothered in the mud. Very often, too,
comparatively strong sheep get begged
and die. To prevent the water becom-
ing putrid, every passer-by, no matter
who he is, stops and pulls out any
sheep he may see stuck, whether dead
or alive, and to do this is looked upon
almost as religious duty, the omission
of which is greater sin than the breach
of one Of the ten commandments"

Weight OF n Snowflake

The lightness of snowfalles is the re-
suit of their surface being so great when
compared with their volume, and is ac-
counted for in some degree by the large
quantity of air amid their frozen parti-
oles. Snowflakes contain about nine
times as many volumes of air, entan-
gled, so to speak, among their crystals,
as they contain water. Very fine and
lightly deposited snow occupies about
twenty-four times as much space as wa.
ter, and is from ten to twelve times
lighter than an equal bulk of that fluid.
