Cndisputed Evidence That the Big
Freighter Is at Old Oceans bottom.
BREMEN, March 81 The British steamer
Coventry. Captain Wilson, from Fernan-
dina, Feb 10, arrived at this port yester-
day. She reports that at . o'clock on the
morning of March I, when in lat u north
long ii west, she passed lifeboat painted
white, bearing the name Naronic. The
boat was floating keel upward This re-
port shows beyond doubt that the vessel is
lost
ATT O'Clock in the afternoon of the
fane day another ifeboat from the
Naronic was passed This boat gave evi
Hence of having encountered heavy
weather. The mast and oars of the life
boat had been dashed together and at
tached to the painter and then thrown
overheard as "A SEA anchor to keep the
boat : head up to the wind and sea
Judging from appearances neither of
the boats had been long adrift. The posi-
ton OF the drifting boats was about south
by west of sable island, on the banks of
Newfoundland There is a chaSce that
the occupants OF the boats were picked up
by a passing vessel.

The Abbr..iation of Geological.

The tendency among English people to
clip long words into short ones, or even
into monosyllables is notorious. Thus
"cabrioletn has become cab, omnibus
bus and so on. But the change of 200
logical into zoo is, to any one who knows
the origin of the word, the most exas-
perating of all, and yet we now meet
with zoo in well written journals, and
see the word Is being advertised as the
title of book.
There is anothervaration, whichcomes
simply from bad pronuciation, as when
cockney holiday maker tells you he
has been to the ''slogical." If 'zoolog-
ical' is to undergo shortening, like that
which has befallen Omnibus and "cab-
riolet. let it at least become 70. This
would be correct as far as it went and
would not be so excruciating as the de
testable zoo. Cor, Notes and Queries.

Buying IA Rare Book.

A good story was told on Sam Nc
Conaha at certain book store the other
day During the holiday rush he went
out to buy IA book for his little girl He
went from one book store to another and
said, 81 want a nice holiday edition of
The Prodigal SOM No one seemed to
have the book. When Sam went home,
he did not say anything to his wife, as
the book was intended IA surprise
Christmas present The next day he de
termined to go in further quest of the
book But it was not to be found The
fun of it is Sam wanted THE Pilgrim 5
Progress" and somehow he got names
mixed. He said the thing flashed across
his mind in u dream two nights before
Christmas, and he then got the book that
he wanted. Enquirer.

The Original Four Hundred.

1t is generally thought that the saying
that the only people in New York worth
knowing can be numbered by 400 was
originated by Ward McAllister, but it
can be found in the Bible. Acts v, 49,,
which speaks of Theudas boasting him
self to be somebody, to whom number
of men, about 400, joined themselves,
who were scattered and brought to
naughs The verse referred to reads as
follows, For before these days rose up
Theudas, boasting himself to be some
body, to whom a number of men, about
100, joined themselves, who were slain,
and all, as many .as obeyed him, were
scattered and brought to nought."
Another verse worth mentioning in
this connection is from | Samuel xii 2,
And every one that was in distress, and
every one that was in debt, and every
one that was disconnected, gathered
themselves unto him. and he became a
a captain over them, and there were
with him about 400 men. - Keystone,

Now York soclet, In Wartime.

Ont of the great excitement OF the war
grew fantastic gayeiy, wild sort OF
Carmagnole frenzy. Society did strange
things. Women would dance the german
ut II fashionable Now York party with
their hnir hanging In long strearners down
their bucks, while the young men would
seize those beautiful tresses for reins
and drive the fur women with imitation
whips Everybody was half mad. And
utter the war was over these women, to
whom philanthropy had become bust
ness, found 1t hard to return to the COM
mon everyday work Of life. So Mrs. s.
NJ. X. Barlow, one of tue best and no.
blest Of human beings, suggested that
we should help the south. We went to
work again at the dramatic committee
and invoked Mr.. NallaCk. Mr.. jerome
lent US the theater, and we really did
some very good works, producing plays
which were not stumbled through, but
had some resemblance to the real thing
The money We made we sent to the cler-
gymen of the south, who wrote Of indi
vidual cases of distress. 1t was our
pleasure to save the lives of sick chill
dren who needed more delicate food than
their poor mothers could otherwise have
procured. We used to receive most touch
ing letters. Thus was the first effort at
reconstruction attempted and carried
through successfully. We tried to fol-
low Grant at Appomattox and to be
worthy of the last words of Lincoln

A combination to which the name Of
chlorobrom has been given-a solution
containing 80 grains of chloralamide and
similar amount of potassium bromide,
in an ounce of menstruum-has come
into considerable favor, according to
some of the foreign journals, as NJ eff
cacious preventive of seasickness on
short voyages. The passenger is recon-
mended to take a podophyllin pill for
one or two nights before the date of sail
ing, and when on board to remain for a
time, before rough water is reached in d
horizontal position with eyes shut, and
to take no food on short trips.
