Give Any Inform alton.

Give Any Inform alton.
NORFOLK, VA, Feb 29.-The captain of
the steamer Saturn, now at Newport News,
declined to give any information about the
abandoned vessel Akaba. As near as can
be ascertained from the hands on the Saturn
and other sources the reason for abandon-
ing the Akaba after towing her for six
days through heavy gale of wind was that
the hawser broke and owing to the rough
ness of the sea they we're unable to secure
Der again on account of her nearness
to the shore. without seriously endangerinR
the safety Of the Saturn. When last sighted
By the Saturn, the Akaba was within about
twenty fathoms Of water, drifting toward
shore. The captain. in all probability, made
use Of his anchor, and the vessel may pos
sibly ride out the gale until assistance
reaches her. One of the hands OF the steamer
Yedmandale reported that they sighted
steamer ashare off Body Island, which, he
thinks, may be the Akaba.

win Live in a Glass House.

At the city of Dinard, in the depart
ment of Ille-et- Vilaine, France, there
lives man distinguished both for his
originality Of ideas and for the fullness
of his money bags. He has been speak
ing and teaching for long time upon
the necessity of men beginning to lead
lives of greater purity, SO that they need
not be afraid of having all their deeds
under the incessant supervision of so
ciety. He is himself willing to submit
to the trial and wants to find others to
do the same. He has determined to
have three story house built all of
glass. A dwelling of such transparency
would not not only allow its inhabitants
at all times a splendid prospect in every
direction upon the beautiful country
surrounding the place, but also expose
the minutest details of the daily life of
the people in the house to the inspection
Of the entire city.
The originator of the idea has found
an architect willing to build the house on
condition that he receives payment in
advance. But there is no renting agent
that will take the agency for it. If it is
to be lodging house for bachelors, they
say, they may be able to do something
with it, but they cannot find female,
they think, that would consent to live
in glass house. Nevertheless the old
gentleman is determined to realize his
idea.-Chicago Herald.

A Tame DuckIing.

The extraordinary sight of duckling
that has just shed its shell following a
young woman about the house with all
the affection of pet dog is domestic
wonder in the family of Mrs Carr. Ever
since Easter morn the neighbors have
been dropping in to witness the spec
tacle, and the fame of the singular at
tachment has attracted attention among
people who are interested in natural
phenomena of every description.
The little duckling has been in the
family since Easter Sunday, when it
was brought as gift to Mrs. Carr's
baby daughter, Serena, aged four years,
who was delighted with her new pet.
The duck at once struck up a long
friendship for the domestic, Mary Nc
Cullough, and has been the young wom-
ans constant companion ever SINCE
Whenever Mary speaks the duck re-
spends with the piping salutation and
waddles after the young woman wher-
ever she goes. The most astonishing
thing about this freak of nature is that
if any other inmate of the household
attempts to induce it to answer, the
webfooted prodigy maintains solemn
silence, but Mary has only to utter a
word when the quacking begins and is
kept up until she has ceased speaking

Tree Trunks ruled with squirrels

Woodchoppers on DR.. Prices Lenape
farm report that squirrels are very
numerous among the trees. When the
choppers began last fall there were
several acres of trees standing and the
squirrels were not numerous, but as the
trees were cut, a few at time, the
little animals were driven from one
place of refuge to another until all were
gathered into a small space, and the few
remaining trees are filled with them. A
man who had been working among
them says some of the hollow trees are
packed so full of squirrels that the tim
bers creak every time the animals draw
deep breath.
In the morning when the men go out
to work they are met at the railway
tracks by the knowing little animals,
which feel secure because the game
laws protect them at this season. A
gentleman who has seen them says that
they do not offer to carry the kettles of
the men, although they do not object to
sharing the contents. West Chester

Going to Africa.

Great interest is exhibited in the pro-
posed East African expedition of Mr..
William Astor Chanler. The Tama
river, which he proposes to follow, is in
habited along the lower part principally
by the Wa-Pokomo, race which sub
sists by cultivation. The banks of the
river being low, the country on both
sides is annually inundated, and the
river thus acts as liberal fertilizer.
Mr.. Chanler has no easy task before
him, as some of the tribes to be passed
in reaching Mount Kenia have had
their suspicious and hostility aroused
by the harsh and barbarous course of the
German explorer DIR. Peters.
He will start early in June in company
with Lieutenant Hohnel, of the Austrian
navy, and Count Tolaki, with the object
of careful scientific research and OBJ
servation in that region. They will
travel along the Tama river, resting for
some weeks at the snowcapped noun
tain of Kenia, where they will make
astronomical observations. After ex-
ploring the mountain to its summit if
possible they will plunge into the almost
unknown regions of East Rudolph lake
1t was there that Baron Vecken was
murdered, and that Reviol, Respoh and
Ferrendi failed in their efforts to accom-
plish their aims
The region abounds in warlike tribes.
Mr.. Chanler intends to enter the region
from the west, after leaving Lake Ru-
dolph, and proceed along the Tubba
river to the sea. He expects to be alb
sent about eighteen months. He will
take with him his young servant, George
Galmin, who accompanied him through
Mashonaland. Mr.. Chanler is full of
hope and will go fully equipped for his
perilous enterprise, which is expected to
have most interesting and valuable re-
sults.-Philadelphia Leader.

chaiiensts.s a Critical Journalist.


A very slight and polite criticism in
dulged in at the expense of a cavalry Of
fcer who was riding about week ago
at the horse show has assumed the pro-
portions of a serious event. The officer
in question sent letter to the writer
saying that he could understand the
criticising the horsemanship of jockeys
and grooms, but that he had no business
to pass any remarks on that of gentle
men or officers" He forbade the jour
nalist to mention his name, and wound
up by adding that his sole right was
that of the stronger and that he would
prove it if the offense were repeated.
The journalist in q second paragraph re-
marked that he did not think he had
acted improperly in criticising the per-
formances of horsemen who rode in a
public place to which admission was OBJ
tanned by payment, and, referring to the
letter, said he could not believe that it
had been penned by French officer,
and was convinced that it was a forgery.
Thereupon the cavalry officer sent two
of his friends to the journalist with o
hostile message, and in the duel that
followed he wounded him in the arm.
He thus proved that he was ''Le plus
fort" But the affair is creating great
sensation, the prevailing opinion being
that the argument employed by the Off
Ger was, to say the least, utterly illogi-
calm fact, this unlucky episode has
brought once more on the tapis the
vexed question of the expediency of
military men displaying their prowess
at races and horse shows.-Paris Cor.

Mary's Claim.

A little girl is reported to have died
near the imaginary line in Oklahoma
which divided the recently opened res
servations from the remainder of the
territory just as the signal was given for
the grand rush for lands. The child and
her father were alone and unknown, but
the beauty Of the one and the still, deep
grief of the other moved the strong men
of the frontier to acts of admirable SYM
pathy.
A runner on a swift horse located a
homestead, and returning placed the
father of the dead girl in possession of
it. The body of The child was trans
ported to the claim and buried upon it.
Afterward it was discovered the re-
maining one of the unfortunate couple
was absolutely penniless, and a purse Of
money was given him with the hope that
the claim will prove haven of rest to
him and that the homestead shall al
ways be known as "Mary's claim

A Sad Story.

A contemporary relates that there was
a tragedy in the composing room of a
Philadelphia paper the other day. The
compositors were busy at their cases
when one of their number, young
woman, tainted away, and she was con-
veyed to her home. Another compositor
finished her ''take,' which proved to be
an account of suicide in another city.
There were forty compositors in the
room, but this particular copy fell to
this particular young woman, and the
suicide was her affianced sweetheart.
