How Yankee Got Away with "a
Dutch son Of "A Sea CoOk."

While the United States ship Nipsic
and several men-of-war OF different ma
tions were anchored near each other in
the harbOr Of Montevideo the crew of n
Dutch man-of-war, which was moored
near Uncle Sans ship, entered into live
lest competitive drill and did their ut
most to beat the time made by
the American boys in shining mssts
mp and down and crossing yards.
After some very determined racing, in
which the American had slightly laid
over their persistent competitors, one OF
the Dutchmen who had succeeded in
crossing the mainroyal yard few Sc
conds astern Of the time made 10y the
Nipsic gave a loud shout which drew the
attention Of every ship IN the barbor,
and shining up the long pole to the
truck. which is circuiar piece of wood
about as large rs a dinner-plate, fixed at
the very top OF the mast and used for
the purpose of hosting the flags,
he drew himself up and stood
on his head on the truck, and
twirled his legs around AS If to challenge
and deride the possibility Of any seaman
daring to rival HIM in that line Of bust
ness, and after maintaining his position
for almost n minute he repeated his yell
Of defiance and slid down the royal
backstay to the deck, where be was re-
ceived by n cheer that could be heard
all over the city of Monteyidco. The
rousing cheer had an instantaneous effect
upon the temper of Jack Peterson, the
curlv-headed captain of the Nipsic )
foretop, who after declaring that no
square headed Dutchman under the
sun could get ahead Of him,
rushed up to the main truck, and in
attempting to stand on his head. which
he had never before attempted to do, he
instantly overbalanced and fell u dis
lance Of $50 feet into the water, acct
dentally going in feet first, after the
manner Of an expert diver The somer-
sault and fail were entirely accidental
and looked from distance like feat Of
great skill. jack WAS at once pulled
aboard the ship and before he Lad fully
recovered his breath he Jumped Oh the
rail, and shaking his clenched fist in the
direction of the Hollander, be shouted
at the top Of his voice "There, you

wonder how many people know
that Victoria the Good, as it has been
suggested the Queen Of England shall be
called, when she fell in love had to do
the proposing for herself?" said an
Americanized Englishman the other
morning, whose "reminiscences were
called up by the fact that Queen Victo-
ria was seventy years old May oath. Il
was very much interested in reading re.
Gently the account OF her betrothsl. Ii
had always been expected that she and
her cousin Albert would eventually
make a match of it. When they we're
both about eighteen years old. he visited
England, but did not mako much I'M
preston on the newly-crowned Queen.
However, three years later he made up
his mind to 'now-or-neyer game, and
with his brother visited her at Windsor
Castle. Like more humble lovers, he
was placed in a rather embarrassing
predicament by the non-arrival OF
his luggage, and was thus pre-
vented from dining with her Majesty
on his frat evening as her guest. For
five days did Victoria study him, and
then after first telling her adviser, Lord
Melbourne. what she had decided TO do.

strange FinainamoIlow PopIar.

r.. 4. Logsden, of Cross Roads, KY,
while out fox-hunting one day last week
discovered his dogs whining around a
large tree which had been blown up by
the roots. The tree is a huge hollow
poplar. While trying to discover the
cause Of the CANNES actions his attention
was attracted by lot of human bones
in the hollow of the tee. Further
search revealed an old fiint-lock gun
and keg of whiskey. The bones were
greatly decayed and much larger than
the usual size. The gun was eaten by
rust. and the stock had rotted so that it
fell to pieces. The keg lisa strange con-
Germ and shows considerable ingenuity
in its construction, tue exterior being
coated with substance resembling
pitch, and is we'll preserved. The
whiskey found IN the keg is said to be- u
most excellent article.

What was the highest price ever given
for any book? We may venture to say
that We know Of one Tor which the sum
OF 2jO, 600 francs $50, 00Ol was paid by
its present owner, the German Govern
ment. That book is a missal, formerly
given by Pope Leo Y. to King Henry
VIII. al England, along with n parch-
ment comforting on that sovereign the
right Of assuming the title of Defender
OF the Faith, borne ever since by Eng
lish kings. Charles II. made q present
Of the missal to the ancestor Of
the famous Duke Of Hamilton, whose
extensive and valuable library
WIS sold some years ago by Messrs.
Sotheby. Wilkinson " Hodge, Of Lon
don. The book which secured the
highest offer was Hebrew Bible IN the
possession Of the Vatican. In 1912 the
jews OF Venice proposed 10 Pope julius
II. to buy the Bible and to pay for it its
weight N gold. 1t WAS 80 heavy that 1t
required two men 10 carry it. Indeed,
it weighed 325 pounds, thus representing
the value Of half million francs go, .
0O0). Though being much pressed for
money, IN order to keep up the " Holy
League against King Louis XII. Of
France, julius II. declined 10 part with
the volume.
