A ships Lamentations.
There is IA superstition that a ship no
longer seaworthy, just before breaking up
between the strains Of wind and wave, has
been known to give forth wailing sounds,
like moaning. The sailor cannot account
for this, but he knows too well its import,
and loses heart at the melancholy sound.
This is also noticed by Cooper, in his Rel
Rover where one Of the characters Il
made 10 say, "A ship which is about to sink

MARRIAGE FOR YOUNG MEN.

Usually the Only Thing That VIII
Make n Man Save Money.
This Is true story, and one that
will apply to many other men besides
this particular one. 1t Is q great pity
that this Is true, but so 1t is.
A prosperous business man who en-
plOys quite a number Of clerks, said
recently that he had been led to the
conclusion that the young man who
saved and invested his earnings Is an
exception to the rule. He was surpris-
ed to find this to be true. The facts
came out when he began reducing his
working force as business fell off. The
first to be dropped were those who
had no family depending upon them.
Then 1t was that they would confess
they hadn't saved a dollar, and had
no means whatever upon which to
live.
This same man also observed that
the married men nearly all had saved
something, Notwithstanding their sal
aries We're no larger, and In some cases
less, than those drawn by single men.
By quiZzlng these young bachelors he
found that riotous living was the prin-
cipal cause Of their poverty. Some of
them gambled on the quiet, and others
just naturally let 1t go right and left
as long as there was any to GO
From this he concluded that mar
rage is very good thing for young
man, provided he marries a sensible,
practical sort of a woman. Hereafter
he proposes to give married men the
preference because, in SO doing. he will
be helping those who are willing 10
help themselves.

Racing ON ski.

Ski are Norwegian showshces-strips
OF plank, turned upward at the toes
eight or nine feet long, four and half
inches wide, and in the thickest part an
inch thick Mrs. Tive adis, author OF
"A Winter Iaunt 10 Norway" was In
Christiauia at me time Of ths annual
ski races, and, OF course. went 10 see
them. 1t seemed to her as II really
all the one hundred and nf.y thousand
inhabitants Of the city must have gone
out for the same purpose. About a
hundred competitions entered for the
race.
The course began with an ascent Of
about 400 feet up a steep hill, mostly
through she forest, where the men had
TO cross cleft, rayines, hlllOcks and
mounds. The road had been chosen
for its obstacles and was marked here
and there by piece Of red stun tied
to a snowy pine trae.
After the climb came n longer de-
scent. about a thousand feet, some OF
1t almost perpendicular.
On a fiat surface the skilobers, as
they are called, shuttle along accom-
plishing a distance Of several feet at
each step. Down hill they simply fly.
keeping their feet as near together as
possible. and bending their knees. The
uphill work Is the hardest. The ski
have strong tendency to slide back
ward The men turn their toes out,
and stamp the snow to get bite.
In toeing out, the legs have to be
kept well apart, else the long shoe over
laps at the heel and trip the wearrr.
ITO see a man go uphill" writes Mrs.
Twecdie, his legs apart, and stamping
the snow at each step, Is most amusing
from behind, the movement so closely
resembles that Of frog with his little
bent legs"
On the day In question. Fin spite Of
every obstacle, in spite Of the steepness.
in spite Of the sudden turns and twists
Of the road, In spite Of everything,
the twelve English miles were accom-
plished in one hour, forty-six minutes,
thirty-six seconds"
Only two Of the racers gave out, and
there were no accidents.

BEAUTY INSTEAD OF BLEMIsH.

improvements on Nature Possible by
the Aid of the Surgeons Knife.
THE operation of reducing the pug
is a simple and almost painless one,
said a surgeon, demonstrating one OF
these cases to a writer for the New
York Tribune "A little cartilage Is
taken from the upturned member. the
slight wound is dressed. and then a
clamp is adjusted which gives the nose
a tendency in the right direction, and
in a few days the change from pug
to straight has been perfected. We
have had n number Of these cases; one
was tall man, an actor by profession,
who thought his nose the greatest OBJ
stacle in his way to success. 1t was
an ugly feature, sure enough, and, be-
ing u calling where the slightest pre-
text for chatting and guying Is made
the most of, 1t was no wonder he
wanted the change made. We helped
him and sent him away after ten days
treatment with n new and better nose
A hump on a mans back" the doc
tor said, must remain, but there Is
no good reason why q man or woman
should carry n hump around on the
nose" In proof of his ability to con-
quer this facial blemish, he showed 4
before" and after picture Of one
Of his patients, whose nose, Roman in
the superlatiye degree, had been modi-
fed until it became Il thing of beauty.
But it Is not the i'll shaped nose
alone that has yielded to the dermatol-
igist's art. The ''lOp-eared man who
discovered too late that by pulling his
cap down over his ears those members
lost their shape, projected and made
him look unlike the man nature intend
ed him for, has an instrument placed
on his ears, and after a Few weeks he
is the lOp-eared man no longer. Wo-
men whose ears have become deformed
through improper haif-dre5sing and
among those who come for .elief and
many who were born so" have the
defect remedied Then there are the
persons whose eyebrows meet over the
nose and form continuous line.
We have Outgrown the belief in the
devils mark and all the supersti-
tons which are linked TO the cOntinu-
Gus eyebrow" said the doctor, but we
must confess that this particular blem-
ish gives the face a sinister expression
Now, with an electrical instrument, we
remove the superfiuons hair and
change the scowling face into one open
and frank"
MOles and birthmarks are made TO
disappear under treatment, and even
wrinkles which time leaves are cheat
ed and defrauded out Of being. A
young woman who had the habit Of
corrugatins her forehead by elcyating
her eyebrows had four deep burrows
across the brow which added several
years 10 her age in looks and did moth
ing to enhance her beauty. She went
to dcrmatolOgist, submitted to an
operation, and n smooth brow was the
result.

The commoh2ess Of ghosts depends
upon the credullty Of the peoPlc. They
were formerly abundant in some parts
Of New England. where now they are
almcst never heard of. In these days
gnOst stories aoe mostly invchted-tUn-
frsScdly so-hut the historian of wcare,
n. H., relates two which are Srbcr
IT atters of history. One Of the leading
citizens Of the town, John HodSdt n,
was returning home on horseback enc
dark and windy night, and while pass
Ing a big corniield belonging TO his farm
he caught sight of u white object stand
ing upon knoll. The sight made his
flesh creep and his hair stand up. SO
he afterward conf assed, at all events.
The uncanny thing stood still for a
moment. and then, like flash,
disappeared. At the same moment
Mr.. Hodgson heard strange, weird
sound. He thought the apparition was
gone for good, but just as he was start
ing up his horse, behold, there IL was
again. just as before.
What could ii be? Happily the farm
or was not without grain OF courage.
He diSmOunted, climbed the fence, and
crossed the field 10 the knoll. III there
was a ghost there, he wanted an intro
ductiOn TO IT,
He found it in the shape of a big
basket. His men had left it there
lying In n little hollow When a gust
of wind took 1t, It stood upright; when
the gust subsidized, down went the bas-
ket into the hollow, out of sight.
In the outskirts OF the town. In a
shanty, lived Mr.. and Mrs. burlington.
One winter they were terribly troubled
by ghosts in their attic. At last a
brave neighbor, Mrs. Peaslee. called
one evening To hear the strange noises.
Sure enough. they began very soon
after her arrival-frst Il ghostly rap
ping, then a succession of bumps, and
then again, rap, rap, rap.
MIR burlington grew excited lie rose
from his chair and cried out:
winthrop Clcugh, what In the name
of God are you troubling this house
for?''
Winthrop Clough was the name OF
n former occupant OF the shanty. lie
made no reply to this except Mrs. Peas
lee. She, like a sensible woman, r.
fused to be frightened, but got lad
der, and proceeded TO climb Into. the
attic.
There she found an old hen. Its legs
had been frozen, so that It could not
walk weil. The bumps We're made
when 1t fell The rups We're its at
tempts to pick ND something with its
beak. Mrs. Peaslee brought the hen
down the ladder. and that ghost was
laid.

The first cherry tree grown in England
was planted by Sir Walter Raleigh, at

SO while the Englishman who owes
