WHEN PILOTS WERE PRINCES.
Salaries Onre Were Equal to Those oil
Modern Railway Presidents.

Very interesting are the "reminiscences
from steamboatmen Of ante rate cutting
DAYS. when pilots received wages enough
in a week TO buy an entire steam boat at
the present quotations on secondhand
boats Money easily earned is easily
spent" and Captain Joe Todd tells OF the
pilot who received $500 for a trip to the
upper Missouri, and then came down in
the winter to borrow money from us poor
fellows who worked for s75 month"
Several Of these old river pilots, whose
vocatlons entitled them TO the largest div
idend OF the robust earnings OF the boats,
are still about the city. but unfortunately
very few now give evidence Of ever having
commanded such magnificent salaries.
The Missouri river appears to have been
the scene Of operations in which meteor
ic" wages were paid to pilots. The elocu-
tionary artists who are doing time"
around the Office stoves sometimes quote
old time pilots wages as high as 5000
month without producing prOofs
From those who were actively engaged
in the service it is learned that &, 800 a
month was the highest regular wages ever
paid 10 Missouri river pilots. Pilots. how
ever, were frequently engaged for trip to
Leayenworth, Sioux City and Fort Sully at
wages proportionately higher than these
figures.
Captain William r. Massey, veteran
Missouri river steamboat man, stated yes
terday that he had often known $500 70
10 paid to a pilot on a trip between st.
Louis and Omaha, occupying from ID to l6
days.
The palmy days for steamboating on the
Missouri river were from 1854 to 1860 in
which the pilots were paid salaries like
those of railroad presidents at the present
day, but spent their money about 10 times
as fast. 4 we'll known steamboat man in
ST. Louis now is said 10 have been offered
a one-fourth interest in a steamboat, val
ued at about s25 600, by one of the Doziers
for wages as pilot on a trip TO Fort Benton.
Fifteen hundred dollars was also frequent
" paid for plotting boat from st. Louis
TO Leavenworth and back. occupying about
nine days.-Exchange.

The Algerian Donkey.

The donkey in Algeria rarely has n sad
die He has pad very similar to the pad
on which the bespangled queens OF the saw
dust ring dance their short hour TO delighted
boys and rustcs. The pad has no stirrups
and is so wide as to make q seat on il ex-
tremely firing TO the uniniuated. The Arab
sits astrids or sidewise, aud as the pad Is
rarely girthod, or at best by a slender rope,
it is like walking tight rope or managing
a birch bark canoe 10 sit on it until you
catch on" Between this pad, which serves
equally for loading or riding, and the saddle
of the Spahi there is vast category Of sizes
and styles, all, however, much too wide. A
pair of ssirrups is often improyised bytying
two bags together, putting them across the
pad, turning in one corner and thrusting the
foot into the pocket thus made. The ilimsy
pretext for saddle or harness used all over
the east would be cast on the dump by the
poorest American farmer. he would not
risk bis bones with it.-Colonel L. a. Dodge
In Harpers.

Txcrisabie Ignorance.

For one to be ignorant of the proper use
Of n novelty is nothing to be ashamed Of.
If you are ignorant, you are just trifle old
fashioned-a season behind time. Frank
innocence and tact will save n situation
from awkwardness, and sometimes the
resort to them is thought attractive.
II you are uncertain Of a new, strange
piece of silver, wait and watch your neigh
Dor or your hostess and act accordingly.
Local customs and usages, even in this
travelled age Of people and products, make
certain ignorance or innocence very posi-
bic. A southerner could not be blamed for
not knowing which end of the stalk Of
asparagus to eat because It is not a vegeta-
BILE Of his latitude. In exchange a north
erner could not understand the bur arti-
choke, and In being ignorant he would be
above reproach.
There is n certain sign language that OBJ
tains between host md guest, and between
those who sit and those who wait. and its
meaning every well bred child learns in the
nursery. In the wonderful ups and downs
in our country the person who sits today at
the finest appointed table may never have
had the advantages Of a nursery nor Of a
mother who knew what civilization sup
plies to the top ladder people. Such per
son is in kind of helpless ignorance, and
how TO enlighten him is the conundrum Of
many.-"Her Point Of View"

Tho Rear the One Eyed Man.

The following story was related by
Dardistan man OF the name OF Ghalib shah,
residing at IL village near Astor, called Par
ishing. He was one night looking out
whether any bear had come into his from
ba" field. He saw that a bear was there,
and that he with his paws alternately took
a pawful Of "tromba" blew the chaff away
and ate hastily. The man was blind OF one
eye and ran to his hut to get his gun He
came out and pointed it at the bear The
animal, who saw this, ran round the blind
side Of the mans face, snatched the gun.
out Of his hand and threw II away.
The bear and the man then wrestled for
time, but afterward both gave up the
struggle and retired The man, after he
had recovered himself, went TO look for the
gun. the stock Of which be found broken.
The matchstrng by which the stock had
been tied 10 the barrel had gone on burning
all night and had been the cause OF the gun
being destroyed. The son of that man still
lives at the village and tells this story,
which the people affect 10 believe.-Dr.
I.eitner In Asiatic Quarterly.

cannot help feeling n sneaking kindness
for Charles Lamb. who toiled after tobacco
"as some men toll after virtue" II de

In bis letter 10 Wordsworth accompanying
his Farewell Ode to Tobacco he says:
Tobacco has been my evening comfort
and my morning curse for these five years
have had it in my head TO do It these two
years, but tobacco stood in its own light
when IL gave me headaches that prevented
my singing its praises" So general, how

A Story About Colorado Bears.

The following story, the work of an i'm
aginative correspondent, comes from Colo
RADIO: 1.-TWO hunters, coming 10 the edge Of
a glade, saw 65 bears in consultation. One
was lying bound with erapevines, two were
watching over him, and another was max
inga speech Presently the big bear stopped
talking, and all the SO growled an assent.
Some Of the bears threw grapevine loop
about the erring bears neck, led him to

walked away with it. In 10 minutes the
bear was dead and the others went solemn
ly away. The hunters secured the lynched
beorskin without q bullet hole in 1t by

MECCA AS A SHRINE or CHOLERA.
An Awful Picture of Asiatic Filth and
Reckless Tanaticism.

From 10000 20 100000 seems TO be the or
binary average number Of those who Visit
Mecca during the festival and who are
present at Mount Arafat on the 9th OF Zul
Hijjah. They come from every quarter OF

and Persia, Turkey and Afghanistan; by
sea from Red sen ports; from Africa, across

With noprovi.ion for decency or comfort
they camp around or crowd into lodgings
in the sacred city. They make excursions,
Chamber up the mountains, spend hours IN

smells arising from the thousands Of ami
mails which are sacrificed, crush and stiile
in the Ka'ba, and finally, as If they had not
already run sufficient risk Of catching ev-
cry possible complaint, they drink the wa
ter of Fem Zom.
This is the well from which Hagar issaid
10 have drawn water for her son lshmael,
and the drinking Of the wateris most holy
rite The supply, however, is not as great
az could be desired for so large crowd OF
pilgrims, and the manner of dealing withit
at the well goes far TO explaj. the intensity
of the poison and the fearful mortality
which attends any outbreak OF cholera
among the Meccan pilgrims
At a given period the pilgrims stand
naked in turn at the place appointed. A
bucket Of water IS poured over each man.
He drinks what he can get of it, and the
rest falls back into the holy well. The wa

Nhy Women Live Longer Than Men.

In the forty -ninth registration report OF
Massachusetts $500 the compiler presents
the statistics Of 203 persons who were re-
ported ~ having died during the 10 years
dSsl-eO) at the age OF 100 and over Ofthis
number 1853, or 75.4 per cent, were females.
BY the state census Of 1898 the number Of
females living over 50 years Of age was
nearly double that OF males. The greater
exposure Of men to accidents, 10 weather
agencies. 10 the constant strain Of business
life, to the anxiety OF providing for the
family, all tend to shorten the life Of men.
The deaths ny accident among men are
more than threefold greater than among
women, and men commit suicide in about
a threefold ratio as compared with women.

The Rnilrr ExnlOtieh.

At l o'clock this morning Richmond
was shrouded in darkness. Not an elect
rio light could be found In the whole
city. Newspaper Offices and other places
where work is carried .On at night were
suddenly thrown into confusion by the
entire absence OF light. The cause OF the
trouble was the explosion Of the big
steam boiler in tho light house on john
sons Island. OF the Richmond Railway
and Electric Company. No one was hurt
when the explosion occurred, and the
report was only muffcd one but the
damage to the electric works will prob
ably amount to considerable. The COM
pany showed commcndable enterprise in
shifting the belts TO another engine In a
very short time, and in less than half an
hour about two-thirds OF the city lights
were again burning.
