THE CAT Is THEIR JONAH.
Lake Sailors Grow Apprehensive
when a Feline Comes Aboard ship.


when a Feline Comes Aboard ship.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Lake sailors are not nearly as supersti.
tious as their brothers who follow the sea,
but they show with them their DISLIKE Of
women or clergymen as passengers OF
visitors on any boat other than the regular
passenger lines. Cats are nearly rs bad.
while the three together are fatal TO the
good luck OF the trip at least There is
an old sailor in Chicago who attributes the
fact that he is alive today TO his determine
tion not to sail in such company. lie WAS
all ready to make a certain trip wnen he
suddenly dicovered that a friend of the cap
tain's and his daughter were to go along;
he disliked the idea greatly, and his aver
sion TO going grew stronger when he learn
ed that the gentleman in question was q
minister but when the young lady came
aboard carrying a pet kitten in her arms.
his heart failed him entirely, and ne was
forthwith attacked by sudden and Sc
we're Illness, which effectually prevented
him from making the run. While between
ports a collision occurred, and the unlucky
boat promptly Settled" and although all
on board were rescued by the other vessel.
the superstitious man always will believe
that had he made the trip he would have
gone Ito the floor"
But Notwithstanding the feeling In regard
To the feline tribe. one liner" which runs
between Duluth and Buffalo, always has a
cat on board. She was originally the prop
erty of the first mate, but so attached 10
the boat did she become that when in
course Of time he was promoted she re-
fused TO leave with him. Since then she has
made every trip but one, and on that &C.
casion no persuasion could induce her to
cross the gangway or climb the ladder. 4
serious accident took place in which several
men lost their lives. and since then her
behavior upon leaving port is carefully
watched. Should she again refuse 20 board
the boat the trip would in all probability
be postponed until a new crew could be Oh
tanned.
Queer stories are told in this connection
and il is said a genuine sailor will make
any sacrifce rather than lose his place at
the swinging table. A certain captain On a
grain steamer says on the final trip OF last
season a series Of catastrophes had so de-
pleted the china supply that but five men
could dine at one time, instead of the usual
ten, and even then IL was necessary 90 re-

From the New York Sun.
There are in many of the banks. trust
companies and large corporations In this
city colored men who occupy situations OF
trust and who handle large sums OF money
daily. These men. who. as a rule, have
grown into the places which they ILL., were
formerly connected in che way or another

a great while a colored bookkeeper. entry

Many Of the bank messengers. who handle
enormous sums OF money every day. are
,olored men. The cashiers trust them im-
plcitly, ana they enjoy the confidence OF
the banks to such an extent that the strin-
gent rules In the handling OF money are
often relaxed and the word of the rnessen-
ger Is taken in lieu OF more substantial se-
curity.
These men are real aristocrats OF the
colOred population of New York. Most of
them are associated In church work, and
they live in flats and small houses with
many pretensions to elegance. In some in
stances their wives are women who have
graduated at the Normal School and their
children attend the public schools until they
are well advanced 10 the higher grades Of
study. They have their own servants, and
have their clothes made 10y the white tail

How Bridget Prepared Crabs.

Bridget, her Harlem mistress always
said, was willing" but she did not
understand American cookery.
Her mistress sent home half dozen
live hard shell crabs one day and had left
word that they were to be prepared for
dinner. When the lady entered the
kitchen on her return home she found
Bridget in tears and with her hands and
arms tied up. Two empty green crab
shells were on the table, three Of the
crabs were mutilated and dead, and the
last one Bridget was preparing to attack.
"I've downed them all, " exclaimed
Bridget, "but that last devil in the cor

Gold Lined Cups Not In II.

A tall young man, with o pretty
young woman, sauntered across Inde-
pendence square yesterday afternoon
when Old Sol was at his hottest When
they came to the ice water fountain, the
young woman stopped and picked up
one of the tin cups. and scanning it
ruefully shook her head at her compan-
ion and laid 1t quickly down again.
The next thing was to slip Off q small
suede glove, and placing the pretty
hand 1t fitted under the stream she
filed its palm with water and drank
from it three times. And the next thing
was to see the young man bend over the
same palm while he held her wrist to
balance the novel cup, and FIVE times it
took to satisfy him. and right willingly
did the pretty young woman fill 1t and
place it to his lips Both actors were
perfectly unconoerned, and after the
young man had dried the young wom-
ans hand in his pocket HANDKERCHIEF

Not Ashamed Of His Record.

"While waiting at a railroad station
not many miles distant from Utica the
other day for an east bound train, said
man, "a train passed going west As
the end Of the train pulled out of the sta
ton man with unusually long legs was
seen running into one end of the depot
and out of the other TO the platform.
He started after the moving train at
lively gait. He carried two grips, one
in either hand, and they swung to and
fro in laughable manner. On he went,
and on the train went He gained ON the
train at first but the train was all the
time picking up, and he finally stopped.
He walked back leisurely, the onlookers
at the depot waiting till he came up TO
give him the laugh. As he approached
them he dropped his grips, quietly put
his hand in his pocket, pulled out a roll
of bills, selected $40 note and ex-
claimed:
"I'll bet $40 there is not n man in
this whole crowd who can catch that
trainp
"Of course there were no takers, nor
did any one laugh at him for failing to
catch the train himself either. -

CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE.
Getting the Obeiisk Aboard Ship Pretty
Piece of Engincc ring.

Piece Of Engineer ring.
Zone Of the pleasantest recollections
/ have to look back on" said Adam
johnson, 'is the fact that was one Of
the party that helped to run up the
American colors over Cleopatra's needle
when it was being taken down to be
carried to New York. Our vessel was
out in the Mediterranean with rowing
commission, and we were at Alexandria
at the time the obelisk was being NOV
ed The big stone had been presented by
the Egyptian government TO this coun-
try, but the people were wild about hav-
ing it moved. We had to place guard
around the men who were working on
the shaft, and even then there was al
most riot
"But that was one of the prettiest
pieces of engineering work / have ever
seen. The engineers who were moving
our shaft had a couple of big wooden
cases built that fitted around the needle
like the pieces of wood around the lead
in pencil. There were couple Of pro-
jectiles on each side of the castings just
on the center of gravity in the shaft,
like the trunnions on cannon. Under
these they put lifting jacks and just
picked that immense stone off its
pedestal, swung it around horizontal
and then lowered it as gently as could
be ON long sliding way, with cannon
balls under it for rollers. They had a
square hole cut in the stern of the
steamship and slid it into the hull
through that and replaced the sheathing
outside.
"Under the shaft in the inside of the
pedestal there were q lot of bronze toads
and ornaments and the Lord knows what
not that the Masons claimed were placed
there by some of their progenitors cons
ago. don't know anything about that
though, and you can leave it or take it,
as you choose.
"The British were not half so slick
with the obelisk they carried over to
England. They cased 1t up in big
sheet iron arrangement like boiler, riv-
eted it in and foated the whole thing
off through trench dug in the sand
down to the water. Then they rugged
jury sails ON it and towed it over to
England, but they lost three or four
men off it before they got it in port and
had all sorts of time generally.
IA couple of years afterward l saw
the British obelisk set up on the east
bank of the Thames, and when l came
home the first thing went to see was
ours in Central park. "-Washington
Post.
