A PHANTOM OF THE SEA.
A Ship Sailing Silently on With not

A Ship Sailing Silently on With not
Soul on Board.
One of the very strangest of tales OF
the sea was that which the Italian
bark Colombo D brought to this port.
1t was fully as strange, though true,
as that which Captain Marryatt
evolved in the world-famed "Flying
'Dutchman." It has the same ele-
ments of mystery with the added fear
full uncertainty OF the fate of the living
men, of whom no trace remains.
On the 18th inst, while the Colombo
D was about $50 miles off the coast
of Bermuda, Captain Vigiliana states
that his lookout sighted a vessel
about three miles off the starboard
bow. She was a threemaster and
square rugged. She was signaled but
no answer came. .4.
She was steering very, erratical]y
too, and although the shadows were
gradually deepening into twilight,
Captain Vigiliana decided to bear
down upon and see what, if anything,
was the matter. Nearer and nearer
they came, but to their repeated hail
lngs not q sound OF answer came.
Not a trace OF life was on board.
All WAS silent save the soughing OF the
wind through the rigging. Stranger
still, all sail was set, and the ship, in
charge OF the fates, was sailing on with
no hand on the helm. As the Colon
DO sailed by her stern her name could
be plainly made out. 1t was Hutch.
ms Brothers, a Nova Scotian ship.
Captain Vigiliana held a consultation
with his officers and called a voluntee,
crew to investigate, but the night was
growing dark and the supersti.
tious sailors refused to go. It was
finally decided to stay by the strange
vessel until morning. Lights were al
ready in the riggings of the Colombo,
but none shone from the Hutchins,
giving additional evidence that no
life was on board her.
Strange AS had been the experience
already, and great the expectancy on
board the Colombo, the morning
brought deeper mystery, for when
dawn broke there was only q waste oil
water where the lifeless Nova Scotian
ship had been. The night had been
calm and peaceful: A sEiff could have
lived in the roll of the gentle sea. There
was no land within sig ht and no storm
had arisen, and yet nowhere could be
found the strange ship. She had dis
appeared as mysteriously as she had
come into sight.-N. Y. Press.

Talk w. Practical Facts.

A Story Which Shows That 1t Does
Not Do to Follow a Woman's
Lead. H.
A ronnder is telling a good story
about how a noted jockey gave big
plunger a hard thro w-down last year.
The betting man ascertained that the
wife of the jockey had received in
structions from her husband how to
Get, and, getting an introduction to
the lady, he became sort of chaper-
on, always afterward occupying an
adjoining seal; in the grandstand.
Frequently the plunger spoiled the
odds for the jockey and his hackers,
80 the latter, after ascertaining the
source of the leak, set about to set
things straight again.
One day the runner FASTENED to the
stand and told the Jockeys wife her
husband said put 5000 on a certain
horse. Knowing her usual form of
betting the plunger was aware the sum
named was large one for her to
hazard, and, when she sent the money
to the ring, he followed and literally
smothered the bookmakers with bills
on that particular performer When
the race was over, however, that
corner OF the stand was very quiet. as
the good thing failed to get q place.
The jockey in. question rode the
winner, and after donning his eyery.
day clothes, walked up to where his
wife was seated, and, displaying a
handful Of winning tickets amounting
to several thousand dollars. handed
ms ms wife two crisp 500 to make good
her losses. ...Z5
The plunger tumbled to the dose
given him, and since that time there
has been q vacant seat in the ladies
stand. .'.

Poultry Picklnss,

Ducks are easier fed than chickens.
The hen ceases to lay when improperly
fed
Young pullets do not make good
mothers
Stock ducks should not be allowed to
get too fat.
1t is only in rare cases that it will pay
to keep hens over three years old.
Rats are very fond of young ducks and
this is one trouble in raising them.
With poultry, as with other stock, it is
always an item to breed to improve the
quality. - VI s>. ...
Poultry fattened on corn and celery has
better flavor than when fed on almost
anything else
In feeding, scatter the feed so that the
fowls will not eat too fast, especially the
little chickens -.
With geese, as with other kinds of
fowls, the most profit is realized by keep
ing the better breeds.
TO secure the best results raising geese,
1t is necessary to have good pasturage
and plenty of water.
Generally, eggs from old geese will not
only hatch better, but the goslings will be
healthler and more vigorous.
Be kind to the fowls; they will appre-
ciate it as fully as other stock, besides it
will help to keep them tame.
There is no more reason IN doctoring
healthy fowls daily, than of continually
dosing healthy, vigorous children.
A dozen selected hens mated with a
choice rooster, ought to supply all of the
eggs needed for Matching for hreaders
Some feeders Claim to secure better re-
suits by sprouting the grain before feed
ing; especially when feeding to fatten.
"A hard jar will nearly always destroy
the vitality of an egg hence the necessity
of careful handling Of those that are in
tended for Matching.
Even when the eggs are put under a
hen for Matching it will be best to exam
inc to see if they are fertile, after thew
have been set five or six days.

national organization, placing the militia
directly under the War Department-for drill at

be an improvement. The old idea Of the
fathers would answer II Congress would only
appropriate sufficient money to perfect

given two years ago extending the sum annually
hundred to four hundred thousand dollars.
But this is very far short Of the public necessity
for the service. 1t has been estimated by per-

The prompt action Of the New York anthori-
ties prevented the swischmen's strike from in
stantly taking wider proportions and a more
painful significance. The presence of thou
sands of mihtiamen on the spot exercised a whcle-
some effect, and the probabilities are that the
chiefs OF labor organizations now consulting in
Buffalo with regard to a general strike of rail-
road employees, or at least of hremen, will no.
agree on either measure. So wide-reaching a
break in railroad business as this would cause
would not be patiently borne by en- already in
cOnverienced public. The sympathy of the
