Cost OF Mississippi stesmboats.


Pictures Of the packets scarcely show
how unlike our boats these are, the DIFF
ference being in the methods of work
manship. Each story is built merely Of
sheathing, and in the best boats the
doors and fanlights are hung on without
frames around them-all loose and thin,
as if they never encountered cold weather
or bad stoyms. All the boats that saw
are as nearly alike in all respects as il
one man had built them. Twas told that
the great packets cost only 1000 to
800, 900, 80 that the mere engine in q
first class Atlantic coast, river or sound
boat is seen to be Of more value than
one of these huge packets, and prime
reason for the difference in construction
suggests itself.
But / do not mean to criticise, for
these great, comfortable vessels serve
their purpose where ours could not be
used at all, and are altogether so useful
and appropriate as well as picturesque
and attractive to an eastern man that
there is not room in my mind for aught
than praise of them.-Julian Ralph in
Harpers.

We are naturally given to condemn
and despise the idea of remaining in bed
when our health is good and all our vi
tai forces in fair working order. Apart
from the matter of our nightly rest, we
rarely think of "a day in bed" either as
preservative of health or conducive to
longevity. Yet am convinced there Is
much to be said in favor Of "a day in
bed" now and then, as an aid to health
in the middle aged and as measure
tending to prolong life in the old.
In bed the whole muscular system is
at ease and the wear and tear of the
body is reduced to minimum. The
processes Of getting rid Of waste matters
are in abeyance; there is less waste to
get rid of, and lungs, skin and kidneys
have measure Of comparative repose.
The nervous system, above all, is soothed
and comforted by the "day in bed"
An1eties and worries disappear after
the rest, and the individual returns to
the workaday world refreshed and rem
ovated, physically and mentally, in
degree such as the actions Of no medi-
cines could have accomplished
In q word, the person who enjoys "a
day In bed" is in the position Of an en-
gfne whose fires are banked down and
whose energies are recruiting for the re-
newal Of the work Of tomorrow.-Health

Electrically Guarded.

Many visitors to the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art wonder at the apparent alb
sence of guard against theft and think
how easy it would be to rife almost any
of the cases of their valuable contents.
Each of these cases is guarded, however,
by small wire which connects with the
Office and also with a large gong in the
basement. Each of the cases in the room,
which contains the Moses-Lazarus col
lection of porcelain, miniatures and other
valuable objects is connected with these
electrical wires, so that if any person
should attempt to force open a lid the
signal would be given at once. The
same arrangement is made for the safety
of most of the other cases.-New York

why Thorghntten Has . Hole Through ft.

why Thorghntten Has q Hole Through II.
Thorghatten. the famous Norwegian
mountain. has hole extending entirely
through it from one side to the other.
According to n Norwegian legend this
same Mount Thorg'tatten was once hat
and belonged to one Thorg; hence the
name thorghatten. II seems that in the
mythical ages n giant and giantess fell
violently in love with each other. They
were forced to part for a time, but
vowed that they would marry in the
near future. Soon after, however, the
tickle woman pledged her troth to an
other This angered her giant lover to
a degree unknown to modern men of
smaller stature. He was seventy miles
from her when the elfs brought the
news: but, selecting a good arrow, he
shot it in her direction.
Now it happened that her brother,
Thorg. was standing in direct line of the
arrows flight. 1t went through his hat
and skull killing him instantly, and fell
harmless at the feet of the faithless
giantess. She had the power of turning
all objects into stone, and forthwith
willed that her brothers hat become o
stone monument to the tragedy. The
cruel lover was turned to stone where
he sat astride his horse at Hestmando,
and the giantess herself petrifed at
Lecko. The two latter objects have dis
appeared, but Thorg's hat (Thorghatten)
is still the object of many curious pill
grimages.-St. Louis Republic.

Cotton culture in South Russia, which

agriculture took the matter up the prop

Tho Body of Captain Cooper Found

BALTIMORE, June 18.-News has reached
here of a murder committed at Deals
Island on Sunday night, Captain Frank
Cooper, of Carter's creek, Lancaster
county, Va, camo to Deals Island on Sat-
urday with load of grain. The schooner
was leaking and he had come to try and
charter another vessel SO the grain would
not be damaged, but this he failed to do.
He was at church on Sunday night, and
this was the last time he was seen alive.
On Wednesday Jacob p. Webster found
his body in the water half mile from
shore. He had probably been murdered in
the cabin of the Daigher on Sunday night,
and his body thrown overheard.
Tho top of Captain Cooper's head was
split open and there were half dozen
other wounds upon the head, any one of
which would have been fatal The Daigher
was boarded and blood was found in the
cabin and on the deck. A mattrass had
been thrown overheard and was found a
short distance away with blood stains on

ored men from Carter's creek. Va. These
men, whose names could not be ascer-

imprisonment imposed upon NJ. Charles de

of one years imprisonment ran concur
rent1y with the heavier sentence. M. De
Lesseps chose to serve the one years sem
tence in CELL and by this means, accord
ing to the prison regulations, the time was
reduced onehalf. 1t is probable that the
unserved portion of this sentence will be
Immediately remitted and that M. De Les

soon as he is able to leave. He is now suf-

BIG SOCIALIST GAINS.
German Radicals Jubiiant Over ThNfr
Growing Powers,

BERLIN, June 18.-Telegrams received
from all parts of the country report that
the voting proceeded quietly. AT the
Socialist headquarters. in this city, jubilant
dispatches have been received recording
the enormous vote polled for the Socialist
candidates in the Rhine provinces, Saxony,
Hamburg, Frankfort-on-the-Mai and
other industrial centers. They have elected
Herr Singer in the Fourth Berlin district,
Herr Liebknecht in the Fifth and Herr
Schmidt In the Sixth. The Socialists are
also confident that they will elect Herr
vogtherr in the Third district and Herr
Fisher In the Second on reballot.
Colonel Won Egidy, nnti-Seminite, may
carry the First district. He is hard run,
however, by Herr Tafterow. Socialist, and
Herr Langerhaus, Richterist or Radical
peoples party candidate.
In Hamburg the balloting promises to
result in the return of three Socialists.
Konigsberg City is doubtful, but proba-
bly, Herr Schultze, Socialist, will be
elected on reballot. Herr Arthur Stad-
| thagcn. Socialist, is elected at Niedebar-
nim and Stettin, Lcipsic City, Dresden.
the First and Second divisions Of Kiel,
West Br.'lau. Erlangen, Mainz, Mann
helm, Ofrenbach and Sonneberg will in
all probability, send Socialists to the
| TelcnStag,
In Jcrichow, where Count Herbert Bis
marck is running against Socialist and
Freissininge candidates, reballot is neces-
sary. The Socialists show heavy gains
everywhere.
Judging from what can be learned at
this hour the returns secure to the Social
lists thirty districts out of the 100 decided.
Further returns indicate that thirty-six
districts have been carried by parties OPP
posed to the army bill, fifteen have been
carried for the parties favoring the bill
and nineteen are in doubt.
Not 10 per cent. of the votes cast in Ber-
lin were given in favor of the army bill.
Seldom has the city spoken in such eni-
phatic tones. The provincial returns ap-
pear to be equally emphatic in the same
direction. The great success of the So
cialists has caused profound sensation.
