A day or two ago the schooner Flour
Bluff, Andrew Anderson captain, and
John Anderson mate, was passing
through Flour Bluff channel some eight
or ten miles downthe coast from Corpus
Christi. Everything was running along
smoothly when suddenly the smoothness
was broken by e-foot tarpon landing
on deck.
The big fish at once began making
things interesting ont the boat, and for a
few moments the sailors contemplated
seriously leaving their vessel and s'tak-
ing to the woods" They finally regained
control of their nerve and decided to
have it out with the fish, so one OF them
seized an ak and the others handspikes
and at the tarpon they went. The
struggle was long and fierce, and one of
the sailors (there were fiveof them m ALL
was knocked overheard by coming m
contact with the tarpon's tail. A rope
was thrown him and he was pulled back
on deck. At last the fisn succumbed to
the repeated blows of the ak and hand
spikes and lay along the deck as dead as

When the shah Of Persia was touring
through Europe three years ago he was
accompanied everywhere and at all times
BY little boy who was gorgeously at
tired and was allowed 10 do just as he
pleased. The boy was not q member of
the imperial family, but just fortunate
youngster for whom the shah had taken
an unaccountable liking. A report has
come from Teheran that the boy was
playing with q revolver in the royal
camp near Burujod recently, and as
usual very close to the shah, when the
weapon accidentally went of and the
shah had the very narrowest kind of
escape from sudden death. The boy has
been sent away now.-New York Sun.

"Pm going to join the army, and win be
gone three years" Thus wrote A younc
man to his dear old mother and sisters nj
home. The boy was under sentence IN the
state prison when he wrote the letter that
he supposed would quiet all INQUIRY as 70
his whereabouts. He had been found
guilty of forgery, and the Judge in pro-
nouncing sentence upon him gave him
three years at hard labor In the Oregon
penitentiary.
This was several months ago. One Sun.
day afternoon couple OF young ladies.
sisters, new arrivals in Salem, visited the
prison. They arrived too late TO be adj
mitted to the services, but were given seats
in tho waiting room. At the first sound
from the choir they were interested, but as
the music of the song filled the chapel and
resounded throughout the corridors they
recognized familiar sound In sweet
toned voice that carried the air. They ad-
vanced nearer to the chapel, impelled by
they knew not what, and glancing through
the barred doors recognized among the
singers, wearing the stripes, the absent
brother who they believed was serving his
country in the army.
The recognition was mutual. And It
was pitiful. The shock was more than the
delicate nerves of the young women could
bear. But It is only one incident of the
many. The prison is full of sad romances
and expectations that are never realized

Ate oo0 lemons IN SIXTY days. This Il
the accomplishment Of resident Of ths
west end. who Is now lying fat on his
back as result. The feat was done by
George Unverzsgt, who lives on Liberty
street. He contracted bad case Of
rheumatism. he went TO number Of
doctors and asked their aid In pulling
him throug his bothersome ailment. he
was prescribed for many times, but all
the drugs that he could conveniently
pile into himself seemed TO effect nc
change in his condition. He was ad-
vised by friends TO try various treat
ments unknown 10 the doctors, but
which had accomplished some wonder
full cures. For long time Unverzagt
carried two raw potatoes in either pants
pocket, bat. found his disease only get
ting worse. Warm baths were also rec
ommended TO him, and he took them
continuously until somebody informed
him that he had been seriously mistaken
and that cold baths were quite the thing
for rheumatism, so the victim took cold
baths. which in a short time almost
caused ossifcation, so he stopped this SC
called remedy.
After having tried number of like
treatments, upon the recommendation
OF people who claimed to be his friends,
Unverzagt was told one day that lemons,
taken properly, would effect a positive
and permanent cure of his sickness. His
informant said he was no doctor, and
would not be one if he could, but that
he knew thing or two about such mat
ters. His manner was so convincing
that his victim determined to give his
advice little practice. He must eat
lemon the first day and increase the dose,
one each day, for thirty days. On the
thirtieth day he should eat thirty lemons,
and from then on he was to go back
ward, decreasing the dose in the same
manner as he had advanced until another
thirty days were up, when he would be
o cured man.
Unverzagt had always heard that
lemons were good for rheumatism, and
this fact made him place more than Or
dinary faith in the new prescription.
He commenced the treatment about
seventy days ago and, strange to say,
carried it out to the very letter. He ate
$50 lemons in that time, and now the
wonder is that he is living. He is being
treated by the doctors for poisonous
condition brought about by the recep-
tion of such an extraordinary amount
of acid into his system.-Cincinnati En-
uuirer.

Cedemus makes mention of a lamp
which, together with an image of Christ
was found at Odessa during the reign Of
the Emperor Justinian. 1t was set over
certain gate and sealed, so as to exclude
all air. The seal testified that these de-
tails were carried out soon after the cruci-
tixion. When opened by the soldiers Of
Cosroes, king of Persia, it was found to be
burning as brightly as when first inclosed,
over 500 years before. The Persian forces
broke down the shrine and poured out the
oil that was still in the lamp, an act that
is said to have been followed by great
plague.
At the time the old monasteries of Eng
land were demolished lamp was found in
tomb which was supposed to have been
burning since about the year 300 A. D.
How these things were accomplished is a
mystery, but it is supposed that the Ro-
mans knew how to resolve gold into an oil,
a few ounces of which would suffice to
burn a thousand years. If such an art was
ever understood it is now irretrievably
lost. t.--Philadelphia Press,

Made q Serious Mistake.

The smart young man thought it would
be q. good joke, as he expressed it, to ''sea1s
the life out of JIM"
Jim seemed to be utterly unconscious OF
everything that was happening on the
street He was carryinga satcheB in one
hand and was looking straight ahead.
The smart young man chuckled and in
creased his pace to overtake him. He
would walk up alongside of him and hit
him one good whack on the back that
would make him think a building had
fallen on him. He would give him ths
worst scare q man was ever given.
He raised his hand for the blow as he
reached him, but the blow never fell-at
least not that blow. Instead the smart
young man felt as II some one on one side
had hit him with an ak, and some one on
the other with a fencepost. Then he was
picked up and backed up against the side
of building by two men who seemed to
be excited and who talked of robbers.
He was pretty badly frightened himself,
but he was released without further in
jury. Jim stopped long enough to say
that he knew him to be an inspired idiot
and not robber.
But he hasn't tried to play a joke ona
hank messenger when he is on duty since.
He knows better now.--Detroit Free Press,

The fact that the opossum Is marsupial
does not seem to be common knowledge.
Anyway 1t was revealed to a man VINO
lives on Long Island in an odd manner not
long ago. He killed one of the animals In
his garden with a gun and dragged the
carcass to the house. The hired man told
him that by taking it to the magistrate at
Patchogue, some FIVE miles distant, he
could get bounty of fifty cents, which
was offered by the county. The man did
not at the time have ANY occasion to 90 to
the town, so he offered the opossum to
neighbor who drove by on his way to Pat
cho0ue. This man didn't think that half
q dollar would pay him for the trouble in
volved, so he declined the gift with thank..
That afternoon 1t occurred to the wife of
the man who had killed the animal that
she would have to drive to PatchoQue to
make some purchases. She suggested
that her husband throw the bodyinto, the
bottom OF the buggy under the seat, as he
might as well make the fifty centsas not.
He did this and they drove to town, 30
gether. After attending to their shopping
they stopped in front of the magistrate's
office and the husband alighted. He went
behind the vehicle to take out the opos-
sum, when, 10 and beholdi be found eight
little ones beside the old animal.
The mother had tucked them all intothe
pouch under her breast at the sound Of
danger and they had remained snuRly hid
den until shaken out by the jolting Of the
buggy. The amateur nimrod therefore
brought down $3.50 with his shot instead
OF one-ninth of that sum, as he had at first
supposed. New York Tribune.
