Pussy Brings Luck to Sailor
men,


If there is anything in the popular
superstition among sailors that ga
cat brings good luck" the voyage OF
the British steamship Thalia will be
a pleasant one A fine large Maltese
cat went aboard the vessel the day
before sho sailed and composedly
curled up on the heavily upholstered
crimson sofa in the officers saloon,
and when the vessel sailed she was q
contented passenger.
"She is an old traveller" said the
steward. as he stroked her soft fur.
land this is not her first voyage.
rCats like change and they will visit
frsE one vessel and then another in
p0TSSlntil they find one that suits
them; and tkey are knowing animal,
and seem to have some intuition
when a vessel is going to sail. Do
| think a cat brings luck? Oh, yes.
It's good luck to have a cat come to
you. Why, that's not a superstition
of sailors alone. Did you ever see O
land lubber that didn't believe it?
That cat will have the best treatment
on board; besides, there's no end to
the rats on board, and the cat will
be useful as we'll as lucky to u.s."

AN ENORMOUS STUMP.

Undoubtedly the largest stump in
the State of Washington is the one To-
Gated just below Snohomish City. on
the farm of w. S. Clay. 1t is huge
cedar, and its diameter is 20 feet-a
surface sufficient for hundred men to
stand upon. The tree was burned
down some sixteen years ago says the
Seattle Press. and its wood was used
for fcnce-rails, shingles, etc. There
was enough material in the tree to fur
nish rails for the fencing of large
Texas farm.
The wood is red cedar and is similar
10 the timber from which lead pencils
are made, and would also be cherished
by any builder for the special wood
finish and decoration of house. The
farm upon which the stump is was
taken up as homestead by Royal Has
kell in the year 1873. Mr.. Haskell con-
tinued to improve the farm for period
of ten years. 1t was by his hands and
his sons that the giant tree was pros
trated by the agency of the flames; and
its bulk-to other trees as the elephant
to the horse-formed an article Of
plentiful distribution and utility.
A log ten feet in diameter is the larg-
est that can be sawed by any mill now
on Puget Sound, and even then there
has to be two saws, one above the
other, each with an immense sweep.
Allowing two feet in every twenty for
the tapering of the tree, there would
need to be five twenty-foot logs cut off
a tree, the diameter of which is twenty
feet at the bottom, before it could be
sawed by any of our mills. The red
woods of California have to be quarter
ed by blasting before they can enter
the mills. The same plan has to be
followed in Washington. where the
tree is of exceptional size.
Two years ago the stump was photo
graphed, when five horses, standing
abreast, three free apart, and thirty
men were upon it. Such photo is
now in possession of the writer and
others in Snohomish. A circle. whose
diameter is 20 feet. must be GO feet in
circumference, and contain an area of
314 square feet. The tree belonging
TO the big stump was so feet in height
and its volume was, therefore, 6,374
cubic feet. This was giant! Poetry
has Landed the majestic oak, but its
size is often eclipsed by Washington's
cedars.
The people of this State are aware of
the high estimation of our shingles in
Eastern markets. They are manufac-
tured entirely from the cedar tree,
which is usually larger than the ordi-
nary fir. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that tree like the giant above men
toned would last a single mill of con-
siderable capacity through three
months saving. No cross-cut saw yet
manufactured is large enough to make
a cut through such Il tree ut the butt;
and If there were, it would take two
men two days TO saw tree of that size
down.

sTANLEY's IRON RULE IN AFRICA.
Ills Theatrical style in Dealing with an
Alleged Rebel.


Thomas Stevens gives in the N. Y
World this report of conversation he
had with Henry NJ. Stanley: "Of
course 1 wanted to give all of Emin's
people who desire to come out with us
a chance to come in, and for this pur-
pose we camped at Kavalis. at the
southwest corner of the Albert Nyanza,
from Feb. IA to May 8. To this camp
Emin's people began to flock in, among
them number of Egyptian officers
and Soudanese soldiers. Among these
officers Jephson pointed out to me re-
bells who were known to have been
plotting against him. He kept sharp
eye on these gentlemen and soon dis
covered that they were tampering with
our men and conspiring against us in
our own camp. / at once had the ring
leader put under arrest. On him we
found eliminating correspondence,
proving conclusiyely that he was in
the Mahdist plot to capture us all. At
this time | was about reduced to a
skeleton by my second attack of gastri-
tbs. / ordered a court-martial TO try
him. He was found guilty on every
count. was in my tent on the fiat of
my back, so weak and emaciated that
| couldn't sit up. made them prop me
up in chair outside, however, and l
swallowed a bracing tonic to strengthen
me TO the task of pronouncing sentence
on this villain. l determined to make
such an example of him that there
would be no further conspiracy in our
camp at any rate.
"They brought him before me. The
people stood around in silence.
looked at him and mustered what little
strength had to address him: We
came through n thousand difficulties
and have risked our lives hundred
times to save and succor you. and now,
in return for all we have passed
through for your sake, what do you do?
You conspire in our own camp to have
us taken as slaves to Khartoum! A
court-martial of white men and of your
own comrades has given you a fair
trial and you have been found guilty
on every count-depart to Godr
The people were so wrought upon
by these words, and the whole scene, :"
said Mr.. Stanley. "that they rushed at
him as one man and seized him.
"'What shall we do with him?' they
shouted. What shall we do with hinlp'
Ito God with him!-take him to
Cod! and pointed 10 the limb of a
tree"
The next minute rope was around
his neck, and hundred willing hands
were hauling him up running away
with the rope.
"'Now you see," 1 cried, addressing
the rest of the Egyptians, now you see
you are not in Wadelai. There will be
no coaXing,no patting on the back with
me. I'll hang every traitor among you

The above must have been a fine
piece of tragedy to have witnessed. 1t
was something even to hear Mr.. Stan
ley repeat it in our peaceful camp at
Msuwa, where we halted day at the
special request of Baron Won Craven

Lived Among Cannibals.

Beresford Alfred, Baron d'Este, and
his wife. nee Harvey, whose first hus-
band was the Viscount de None, are at
the Southern. The Baron d'Este is a
Frenchman by birth, an Italian by
descent, an Englishman through his
mother and man of many countries
by virtue of travel and inclination. He
wears his title lightly. as one who has
seen much of the world and lived
among those nations where rank is
levelled by necessity; and such is in
deed the case.
In conversation with n representa-
tive of the Republic he said that he had
spent much of his life in the British
colonies. The Baron is a handsome
man, with sunburned face, speaks
English like an Englishman, and does
not look over 40 years of age, though
he may be older. As 4 young man he
spent several years in Australia, but
in 1870, when cotton was commanding
very high price, he, in company with
number of friends, went into the
business of raising the costly product
on the FIJI Islands. The islands at
that time were inhabited largely by
cannibals, and white men, though as
sisted by the friendly natives, carried
their lives in their hands, and went
constantly armed.
The sister of my first wife" said
the Baron, ''was shot down by the ma
tives, along with her husband and
their two children. The cannibals then
attempted to carry off the dead bodies,
intending TO eat them at their leisure
in the mountains, but fortunately re-
endorsements came TO our aid and
the savages were driven back. My
business partner died, and some of the
wretches pilfered his grave of two
thigh bones, which they carried off to
their mountain retreat as trophies; but
found out who had been guilty of the
dissertation. and succeeded in recover
ing the bones.
Il was once on the point of tasting
human flesh myself. Some of the ma
tives had been assisting us to build a
house, and the completion of the work
was celebrated with feast. In the
course of the dinner / helped myself
from dish whose contents resembled
pork, and was about to taste of it when
friendly native nudged me with his
elbow and whispered one suggestive
and sufficient word-'M Man. needed
no further explanation; but it must
have been great disappointment TO
the cannibals. who would have been
much pleased to think that white
man had eaten human flesh. Our life
was certainly a dangerous one, but
cotton was selling high and we made
money. In 1875 the English took pos
session of the island. / gladly joined
their forces, and the cannibals were
all either killed or made prisoners"
In 1878 the Baron left the Fiji Islands
for India. where he went into the bust
ness OF raising sugar. He also spent
some time in Madagascar, but for the
past few years has Jeen living in Paris.

Loves Pickering Flights.

The sun was slowly sinking behind
the western horizon, says the Phila-
delphia american. 1t wasn't a nice
thing for the sun to do, but it was do
ing it Just the same. The gathering
twilight failed to conceal two young
persons seated on a sofa in Frankford
house. They were Mary jenkins and
George Augustus Jones. Twilight
deepened into dark night, and still
they sat there, the adorer and adored.
George Augustus looked up into the
lovely face, and what did he see? He
saw two eyes that sparkled rs the stars
are wont to sparkle in the heavens. He
saw two cheeks-two sweet, dimpled
cheeks-over which dainty bushes
played hide and seek. He saw a
mouth whose rosebud lips resembled
the half-opened petals OF some fair
flower.
George Augustus could stand it no
longer. In a moment he held her in
his mad, passionate embrace. Then,
and only then did the fair girl speak.
George" she said.
"Well, dearest?"
Cheese it"
"Who do you meanP" he gasped.
Get off the grass, that's all"
He got.
In other words. he disencircled his
arm from her waist.
A minute of painful silence ensued,
during which the eyes of the girl wan
dered restlessly to and from peculiar
porcelain urn which stood upon the
table.
Finally she spoke. George" she
said, "will you do me a favorP"
"Do you favor! he cried with
fervor. There is nothing l would
not do for you. For your sweet sake L
would do battle with 1000 demons.

lowed by myriads of other demons.
For you would gladly go through fire

depths. For you would give my very

have me do?"

with her limpid blue eyes and coyly
nesting her blonde hair in his celluloid
shirt-front, simply chase the growler."

Life i'm Far Shetland.

The houses here are much the same
as crofters' houses all over Shetland,
with low walls, an arch-shaped roof,
matched with straw and weighed down
with heavy stones, to secure it against
the hurricanes of Winter. The fire is
on the floor, little in front of the wall
farthest from the door, and the smoke
finds, or at least is expected to find, its
way out an open chimney in the roof.
In some houses there are internal Chin
neys of wood, which arrangement adds
much to the comfort of the occupants.
In all, there is the spinning wheel
and the overlooking knitting-pins, as
also the ancient stone quern for grind

and when eaten with cream it is known
as "burstin-pram," all which words

and ponies, with number of sheep
corresponding to the extent of his hold
ing. Some families are, IN their rank,

Others are as evidently poor.
