HE LIVES IN A BOAT.
An Old Sailor Spends the. Winter In the
Yacht Jeannette-He Does 1t Because He
Prefers To--He Has Made a Dozen Vors-
ted Mats This Winter.

Captain Upton has his pleasure yacht
Jeanette all ready for the season. A week
from Saturday he will take a party of men
ON the yacht club cruise to Boouhbay Mr.
Charles Shaw, who is Captin Uptoh's cook
and general assistant, is an old bachelor, 65
years old, who has been a sailor all his
life. For the past three winters he has led
hermlt's life in the Jeanette, in the dock
He prefers to live that way. He has sister
In Falmouth, who is married and lives on
the home farm, half of which her brother
owns. He goes out there occasionally in the
winter to visit, but he prefers his solitary
home on the Jeanette, down among the
wharves. Of course he lives on the boat in
the summer also, so that all the year round,
for the past three years, his home has been
the Jeanette
But though he is recluse in the winter,
he has a very cosy and comfortable life, as
far as creature comforts are concerned. He
is good cook and he likes his own cooking,
and as he is by no means poor, he lives
well. He is an ,cmnivorous reader and
also during this past winter he has made
use of another employment to pass away
the time. Last fall some sailor showed him
how to make worsted mats He
had the necessary frame made, about
eighteen inches square. Into this pegs are
driven at certain points and the worsted
is wound around about them in a skilfuI
way till mat about two feet square is
made. The surface is covered with squares
at each corner of which is little round
ball of fluffy worsted, that renders the
whole effect very pretty. The worsted for
each mat cost the old man dollar, and he
has made dozen the past winter. He has
given them all away but one, which he sold
for two dollars.
During the Prawda trial several of his
friends came in from Falmouth and lived
with him. They all slept and ate in that
little cabin and had very jolly time.
Nobody ever troubles old Charlie during
the dark lonesome winter nights The
yachts cabin is of course even warmer than
a house, and he can lock it very securely.

Bread That Tastes Like Blotting Paper and
May Be Worn Like Cloak.
Messrs. Allen and Sachtleben, the two
young American students who made a
tour around the world on bicycles, tell
many interesting stories of their expert
ences in Asia. In a series of articles writ
ten for The Century they give the follow
ing account of tho dishes that were set be-
fore them III Turkey:
AS all cooking and eating had stopped
at the sound of the morning cannon, we
found great difficulty in gathering together
even a cold breakfast of ekmek, yaourt
and raisins. Ekmek is cooked bran flour
paste, which has the thinness, consisten-
cy and almost the taste Of blotting paper
This is the Turkish PEASANTS staff of life
He carries it with him everywhere; SO did
we. As it was made in huge circular
sheets, we would often punch hole in the
middle and slip it up over our arms. This
we found the handiest and most service
able mode of transportation, being handy
to eat without removing our hands from
the handle bars, and also answering the
purpose of sails in case of favoring wind
Yaourt, another almost universal food
Is milk curdled with rennet. This as well
as all foods that are not liquid they scoop
up with roll of ekmek, part of the SCOOP
being taken with every mouthful. Raisins
here as well as in many other parts of the
country are very cheap. We paid 2 piasters
about cents-for an oche-21S pounds
but we soon made the discovery that a
Turkish oche contained great many
stones, which, of course, was purely ac-
cidental. Eggs also we found exceedingly

waking a Telegraph Operator.

There is good story about telegraph
operator who once worked the land wires
in the Duxbury cable office going to sleep
one night and message having to be sent
5000 or 1000 miles to wake him I'D. The
operator is now practicing physician in
Cambridge, Mass, but before annexing NJ
d. to his name was one of the gilt edge
telegraphers of the country
One night while on duty in the Duxbury
office he fell asleep at his key. The sleep
was sound one. The New York operator
called till out of patience, when he sent a
message to Boston requesting the chief
operator in charge to tell Duxbury to an
swer New York. The sleeper, however,
was as deaf to Boston's 'sDi' 'sDi" as to
the impatient characters flashed on from
New York
In the cable room next the sleeping oper-
ator was the cable artist The room was
dark, and he was watching the mirror for
the tiny sparks that in those days went to
make up a message. To him the Morse
alphabet was all Greek, SO the sleeper slept
on.
Seeing no other way out of the middle
and thinking the operator asleep New
York called Canso in Nova Scotia and ad-
dressed message to the cable operator at
Duxbury The message read:
GO into the other room and wake up
that operator. %
Canso sent it to Hearts Content in
Newfoundland. Hearts Content rushed
it across the deep to Valentia From there
1t went to London, thence to Dover and
across the channel to Calais and to Brest.
Brest kept it moving on to Miquelon, and
MiOuelon gave the cable 0nerator aft dry
bury unique surprise. The sleeper was
then aroused, about II minutes having
been taken by the grand round of the ca
blegram. He tried to explain matters by
telling New York that he was out of adj
justment The story didn't impress the
officials as being truthful and in day or
two there was a vacancy in Duxbury-J.

Chambers Band Concert.

Chambers Band Concert.
Besides the programme tor the concert
already announced the band will play
%TheAdvance and Retreat of theSalvation
Army" Few descriptive peices are more
pleasing to the general public, and it
should be stated chat the band performed
this selection at an entertainment given
recently and were encored three times.
So popular has it become, that special
requests to put it on the programme
have been sent to Mr.. Chandler. The
scene is laid in Portland. The time of
day, evening. The blood-stained war
riors leave their barracks in search of
sinners. With drums beating they
march along the street. Nearer and
nearer they come. Faint sounds of
voices and the jingle of tam bourines fare
heard, and as they approach the sounds
grow louder and clearer and the word of
their song, "Oh, you'll be with us when
you die,". etc., becomes distinguishable.
With the fearful din of the drums,
tambourines and shouts they pass, and
as the distance increases the sounds of
their music (?) diminish until they are
inaudihle. Remember that the balcony
is reserved for those not wishing to
dance. 81 ~
Sister Mary.
"Sister Mary" the melodrama by Glenn
ent Scott and Wilson Barrett, which is
now on at the American Theatre, New
York, is thus describe in the Times
Sister Mary is sweet, good girl, who
softens the hard lot of a betrayed woman
and saves from the horrors of drunk
ards death noble army officer who has
acquired taste for rum. The army
officer, renouning the bottle, proceeds
to win the Victoria Cross by saving the
Queens colors from some naked Zulus
who intended to cut them up for much
needed wearing apparel. He then re-
turns to his native land, of which he is
very fond, and choosing position in a
rocky glen near an abundant and soul
inspiring waterfall, paints a portrait
from memory of Sister Mary. Mean
while the band plays softly, and Mary
in a fine house dress, with lace-trinlmed
petticoats and dainty shoes, trips blithe-
IL down the rocky path from the fly gall
lery, carrying hatful of hot house
f1owers.which she has plucked by the
way. So it happens that when the noble
officer, having finished his portrait, pro-
Deeds, as British officers handy with the
brush invariably will, to address it in
endearing terms, calling it Mary" Mary
herself answers Here l am" and he
turns his attention and his flow of words
to the original. addressing her in Ian
guage as beautiful as she is. 1t falls
out then, in Act III. that they are mar
ried, and Mary has, donned her bridal
robes and veil, and is supremely happy
before she learns, what every boy in
the gallery knew two hours before, that
her noble officer is the betrayer of the
woman whose hard lot she has softened.
Whereupon a heartrendng scene ensues,
but, after the noble officer has once again
shown his matchless nobility in the
South African war and the betrayed
woman has been happily killed, the
course of true love begins to run smooth

THE METHODISTS UNITE.

st. Louis. March t.-The two
great bodies OF Methodists met in
love feast at Union NJ. E. Church,
Garrison and Lucas avenues, to-
day. Forty or fifty ministers were
present, and all united in attesting
their joy at the burial Of strife and
dissensioE symbolized by the ser
vice. The meeting was unique and
heretofore unheard Of in st. Louis,
where feelings over the civil war
ran very high. For years the two
divisions of Methodism stood apart,
as il forever estranged. Tho split
in Methodism dates back to 1874,
when . Southern bishop did not
see his way to liberate his slaves ut
the behest Of the General Confer
ence. The services were Of such
character - suited the occasion,
and included the Lords Supper to
allpresent, addresses by the various
ministers and other exercises indica-
tive Of unity.
