KEARSARGE LOST
The Gallant Vessel Long Famous
lin History.
Wrecked on a Reef Off Central
America.
THE CREW is SAVED
The Ship is Pinned on a Dam
gerOus Rock.
Not Known Whether She Has
Gone to Pieces.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-The old United
States steamer Kearsarge famous for the
battle with the Alabama during the war,
is q wreck on Roncadore reef She
struck there February .. Lieutenant
Brainard managed lib some way to reach
Colon today, and a cable message from
him this morning announced to the navy
department the fact that the Kearsaree
was wrecked, and that officers and crew
were all saved.
The Kearsarge sailed from Port au
Prince Hayti, on January 80 for Blue
Held. Nicaragua, to protect American in-
terests there in view of the invasion of
the military forces of Honduras She
was wrecked three days out. Roncadore
reef is a little over 200 miles from the
Mosquito coast off Central America. Be-
tween the coast and the reef lies Old
Providence island, seventy-five or eighty
miles to leeward of the reef.
1t IS believed at the navy department
that the officers and crew would be able
to reach Old Providence without diff
Guilty in case they were ia danger of
their lives on the reef and It is believed
they would be safe on the reef except in
the event of very rough weather. lit is
the impression also at the department
that the hearsarge has not gone to pieces
and may not do So for some time unless
rough weather comes up, although the
tide and currents about the reef, how
ever. are swift and dangerous.
lmmedlalely upon receipt 81 the news
of the wreck the navy department sent q
cable dispatch to Lieutenant Brainard at
Colon ordering him to charter steamer
and proceed at once to the relief Of the
ship-Wrecked crew. The reef is well
known r mariners IF those regions as 2
dangerous impediment to navigation.

SNAKES THAT DIFFERED.
One of Them Did Not Know Much as
the Other.

The drummer had just finished
rather remarkable snake story as he sat
in the country store after he had sold
bill of goods, and a countryman, with
some young pullets to sell, had been
listening, says the Detroit Free Press.
The drummer story was about snake
of his acquaintance which had habit
of stealing eggs. He would 90 out and
load up on them, swallowing them
whole, and then climb a tree, fall off
and break the shells, and his digestion
would do the rest. The coUntryman
looked at the drummer with some de-
gree of doubt when the story was fin
ished, but he never questioned its verac-
ity.
Some snakes is different to that,
mister" he said, very earnestly. "One
on my place was. He was snake like
the one you spoke of only he didn't
have half the sense. Snakes is a good
deal like men in that way. Well, this
Teller hadn't the habit NV stealin' aigs,
but he run acrost a nest one day, and
without askin' any questions he ups
and swallers six whole aigs, and he
went back to his den under the barn
without ever once thinkin' about break
in the shell like your snake done.
That's where your'n had the bulge on
him.
well, he couldn't digest them aigs
to save his life, and they staid right
with him. Snakes kin go long time
without eatin' and about three weeks
after this snake I'm tellin' about had
swallered them aigs, | happened to
ketch him layin' out in the sur by the
barn, and the fust thing he knowed
had cut him in two with a hoe, about
SIX inches from his shoulder-blades. |
slung the head part into the hog-pen
and picked up the tail end to do the
same way with it, when half a dozen
jist-hatched chickens come tumblin'
out. Well, it skeert me at fust, bur ]
braced up in a minute, and, KNOWN
somethin' about snakes, l made up my
mind that them chickens was the result
of undigested aigs. Mother told me
about missin' them six aigs. Them's
the very pullets out thar in the coop
now, and eff sou don't believe me, you
kin come out and count 'em yourself"
"Tll give you the price of your pull
lets If you'll swear to that story before
a notary public" said the drummer,
and went out before giving the man
chance to earn the money.

Pie! Piles of 1t.

Do you know that New York gets
away with half a million pies every
davo
Half-a-million pies means nearly a
third of pie for every man, woman
and child in Gotham town, says the n.
Y. Commercial AdUertiSer.
''Now, [ don't mean it that wav," said
a pie baker to reporter. New York
don't get all the pie. You see, half of
Brooklyn and Jersey come here to eat
pie. and this runs the figures up. Fact
is, half-a-million day is too low fig
ure.
Look at them coffee an cake sa-
LOOMS" the veteran went on, "they sell
loads of pie of all kinds, an then them
er butfays on Broadway, they don't sell
nothin' but pie an sandwiches and milk
an tea or coffee. Then most of the
German beer saloons keeps pies Just as
they do sandwiches for lunch. The big
hotels one time kind of sneered at pie,
bat they have to keep it on their list just
the same. Some of them Englshmen
used to say that we Americans eat pic
at every meal, an some of our four hum
dred kind of got to look down on pie as
beln' questionable. All the same, the
people 90 on eatin' the good old apple,

English say is true an we're a nation of
pie-eaters then England ought to get

Wonderful Richness of Siberia.

Considering the fecundity of the
Siberian mountains and rivers in respect
to colored precious stones, it would
seem as if nature had, in cynical mo-
ment, wreaked vengeance on this por-
ton of the earth by making it hideous,
yet rich beyond compare. With all the
marvellous mineral products, the por-
phyry, the blue and green iasper,
granite, red rose colored and blue
quartz, chalcedony, lapis iazuli, topaz,
beryl, aquamarine. and crystals attain
ing two inches in diameter filling these
terrible mines and soil. who would wish
to own any portion of it? No wonder
the palaces of St. Petersburg are splen-
dldly embellished from such teeming
quarries, or that the rich nobility spend
thousands of yersts for articles that can
only be manufactured in the dark Altai
Mountains. Siberia to the Russians is
merely magnificent territory of I'M
bounded wealth, and vast prison house
for the criminal and nihilist No senti-
ment is wasted on the country.-BoStou

How They Tell Time in NepauI.

They are no public schools in Nepaul.
The sons of princes and nobles-even
our young king, while he is yet only
boy-are taught at home by the guru,
or household priest, who is supposed to
be also pundit, or very learned man.
Later, the young men of rank are sent
to Patna, Benares, or Calcutta, where
they learn to speak English and to wear
English clothes, and to tell the time of
day by an English clock; for in Nepaul
time is measured By means of a copper
vessel with a small hole in the bottom,
set atloat on tank or pool. Sixty
times a day this kettle fills and sinks.
and every time it sinks Il gong is
struck; so that the day is divided into
sixty "@ongs" or bells" as sailors
reckon time aboard ship. The poor
Bhootiya shepherds, or the Newar
women who make pottery in the fields,
say that the day is begun when they
can count the tiles on the roof of 81
house, or when they can see the hairs
on the back of mans hand by hold
ing it up against the light. - st.
