few months coated with barnacles and
sea weed, which, as it trails in the wa

the barnaclcs and the seaweed is the
water itself when it finds an entrance,

it rusts out little pit, which extends
sometimes almost through the plate be-
fore the paint scale drops off and dis
closes the defect, which can even then
only be seen by putting the ship in dry

Fraudulent Sweetbrcads.

IA true sweetbread is perhaps the
most healthy meat that can be eaten,"
said doctor yesterday, "but you are
never able to get it. The sweetbread
proper is the pancreas, which is one of
the most effective agents in promoting
digestion, but the sweetbread Of trade
is usually obtained from the throats Of
cattle and is what is called the thyroid
gland. This gland rests against the
windpipe, and while its texture is SIM
liar to that of the real sweetbread it
has not the same beneficial qualities
But some butchers, in order to make
money, pass off the salivary gland, that
which furnishes the saliva, located in
the checks, for sweetbread. This is
the most inferior substitute Of all. The
pancreas, or real sweetbread is a most
dainty morsel. 1t is of triangular form,
while the sweetbreads obtained from
the throat are of an oval form. But
what is the use of making people dis
satisfied? They have been eating thy
roid and salivary glands for sweetbreads
for years and have been satisfied. But
then they have never tasted the real
thing. ."--Pittsburg Dispatch.

eREeLEY's MANNERS WE'RE BAD.
But They Were Forgiven For His Fine Aft
er Dinner Speech.

er Dinner Spccch.
The genial old philanthropist, Horace
Greeley, went TO New Orleans after the
south had taken him TO her heart in
grateful recognition of his action in 60
ing on the jeff Davis bail bond, and the
people were anxious to show him every
attention in their power.
A dinner seemed to be the proper
thing, and the markets of New Orleans,
than which there are few better in the
world, were ransacked to make the oc-
casion as notable for its viands as for
the distinction of the guest and the din
ers. Judge Walker, the veteran editor
Of The Picayune, presided He was a
great gormand, and after the manner
Of gormands wished none of the fine
points Of the dinner to be lost to the
guest for lack of commentary.
'Mr. Greeley" said he, "these oys-
ters are the best that come to our mar
ket, and we think they vie with those

eating them.
well, no, :" replied Greeley. "The
truth is l never could abide shellfsh. Z"
And he passed.
Then came some delicious green tur-
tie soup, which Judge Walker explain
ed was prepared from the finest fat tur.
tie the Florida bays could afford.
No doubt, no doubt" was the reply
in Greeley's peculiar whine, "but cold
blooded animals are an abomination TO
me-"
The pompano, imperial fish that it is,
and fresh from the gulf, was open to
the same objection, despite Judge Wal
ker's eulogy, and that, too, was passed.
Mr.. Greeley barely tasted the accompa-
nying Partisan dainty and shook his
head ruefully at the idea that anybody
would impair his digestion by eating
cucumbers. Shrimp salad, another New
Orleans delicacy, proved no more tempt
ing. Shrimps, he said, looked so much
like worms that they always give him
the creeps.
"Ah, here is something you will like
"a homely dish in name" said Judge
Walker, "but fit for the gods 1t is q
Galicia ham," And then he went on
to tell how the hogs from which these
hams were obtained were fed only on
chestnuts, making the flesh luscious and
delicious.
perhaps So very interesting in
deed" observed Greeley, "but do you
know, judge, that there is so much talk
Of trichina nowadays that wouldn't I
dare taste bit of pork"
The judge gave up in despair. The
only things in all the array of dainties
which had been provided which Mr..
Greeley would eat were bread, potatoes
and cauliflower, and he feared that he
might be overlooking his stomach at
that. But when it came to the speak
ing, although he had drunk nothing but
cold water, he spoke as one inspired and
with fervor, eloquence and tender
ness that nobody at the table could ever
forget. Chicago Inter Ocean.

INVESTIGATING AN ACCIDENT.
Tie Railroad Engineer Gets Out of Trouble
For Running Too Fast.

Superintendent Warren of the East
ern Illinois railway was telling the 9TH
er evening of q certain engineer in the
peatedly cautioned against running too
fast. He was running n freight train,
and on one portion of his division there
was steep hill. His orders were to
never permit his train to go down that
hill faster than 10 miles an hour, but it
was general belief that whenever he had
o safe opportunity he sailed down that
grade just as fast as tho wheels would
turn. One day he did go down the hill
so fast that the entire train left the
track ut the bottom, and there were box
cars piled up high. An investigation
Immediately followed, and the engi-
neer, in railroad parlance, was put on
the carpet. He swore in the most
solemn terms that he went down the
hill not faster than 10 miles an hour,
but that just before reaching the bot
tom he lost control of the airbrake, and
the speed became so great the train
could not keep the track; hence tho
wreck, for which he was not response
BILE.
But" said his superintendent, 1--WE
have man here, a farmer, who was ON
the hillside that day when you came
down. He stood at the edge of clear
ing, saw you at the top and all the way
down, and he will swear that he never
saw train going SO fast in all his life,
and he is man 90 years old He says
that 1t was next to an impossibility to
see the wheels. What do you say to
that?"
The engineer never hesitated.
'I know the man. Isaw him the day
after the wreck, and he told the same
story to me. only there was little more
to it."
"What was that?"
"Why, he told me that it was the
first train Of cars he had ever seen in
his life, and don't think he would be
a very good judge of speed"
There was silence In the room for a
few moments, and the engineer got off
