Trying to Solve the Mystery.
Eight o'clock that night found the
captain seated in his cabin with the
slate before him and the mysterious
stranger opposite him. Looking the
man square in the eye, the captain
asked: stranger, were you ever in
here before?" The man looked abou,
him then replied deliberately: Cap
tain, cannot tell, / can only say
that somewhere l have seen this
cabin, but at that time / was sitting
at this table with slate before me.
The captain silently pushed the slate
toward the man and pointed to the
written words. A dazed expression
came over the strangers face. ther
he took the pencil and wrote below
the words an exact counterpart oil
those already written.
When the white Star" came into
port three men went directly to 9
lawyers office and there drew VI
and duly swore to the truth of the
singular narration. These three
were the captain, the first mate and
the black bearded stranger. This
statement is now upon record in one
of the naval offices on the Pacific
coast. This is only another added t.
the long list of singular events where
the: boundary between the natura
and supernatural seems forever lost

EARLY STEAMBOATING.
Some River History rs to the Mississippi
and Other Streams.

and Other Streams.
The first vessel that ever entered
the Mississippi from the sea was the
French frigate RenOmmee and the
Cironde. Jan. 6, 100. and these ves-
sells proceeded as far as the Tensas,
which they reached April II. The
first vessel built on the banks of the
Mississippi by white men was in 1541,
shortly after the death and burial of
DeSotO. The boatmen and early
navigators Of the present century
were long in danger from Indians
and pirates. A notorious resort for
these was Crows Nest or Stock ISL
and, and many flatboats and crews
were sacrificed there until these
pests were exterminated by mob law
in 1909. For the five years following
1922. however, the destruction by
snags on the Ohio and Mississippi
amounted to 1862, 800. though the
next five years showed but 1881 ZOO
loss from the same cause. In 1912
there were 45O steamboats, on the
Mississippi and its tributaries with
an average burden of 200 tons and an
aggregate value of $7,200.O0O. In
operating these boats about $3.50
persons were employed. The aver
age value of the products carried
each season was something like $780,
1000. or an aggregate of 100000, 900
for 1912
Previous to Them.
Previous to the adoption of steam
navigation the whole commerce from
New Orleans to the upper country
was carried on by about twenty
barges averaging 100 tons each and
making but one trip year, while
, there were not over $50 keel boats OF
the upper Ohio, carrying about thirty
tons each and making the trip from
Pittsburg to Louisville aud back il
two months, or about three voyage.
in a season. From 1911 to 1850 tn,
; number of boats lost was 576, valued
at over 81 900, 900. In 23S cases tn,
killed and wounded aggregated 4,
600. The average age of all tn,
boats lost was five years. From 1Slt
to 1871 there were 80 explosions, in
volving loss of life in each varying
from one to 1,649.

"A Field For Trained Nurses.

It has been suggested by the London
Lancet that trained nurses be employed
on the ocean steamers as stewardesses.
Any one who has experienced the COM
fort of having trained hands ''handle
them" when ''too i'll to raise the head"
will hope that the suggestion is carried
out. While the class of stewardesses are,
as rule, kindly, agreeable women, will
ing to make us comfortable if possible,
the trained nurse in such a place must
excel them in knowing just chow to do"
and "what to do" for those who perhaps
are something more than seasick.
The death of a beautiful little girl
from pneumonia on an ocean steamship
last summer raised the question among
q party of passengers, Would not Il
trained nurse have done differently and
perhaps saved the little life?' Nursing
is two-thirds the cure, especially in quick
diseases, like pneumonia. Delicate per-
sons who take the voyage for health
would certainly appreciate the trained
assistance.

Embroidered corners of the linen are
overseamed to the bottom of the tablet,
which, with the strip, serves to hold in
place the blotters, which are cut the size
of the tablet and slipped under.
A small ring, covered with dull blue

serves to hold the ribbon to which the

LIKE ROMAN SEN Atop
painted mental picture of an old man
standing ON the peak of Bill Williams
mountain and gazing sadly down into the
valleys below. He sees the grizzly bear
skating for the wilder west, the cowboy
combing his hair and putting on a cellu-
loid collar, the Indian packing his buds for
a trip to New Mexico. the rattlesnake and
coyote fleeing before the presence of good
looking schoolmarm. He sees towns
springing up, saloons as thick as prickly
points on a cactus, horse races and dog
fights, happy school children, busy light
ming rod men and the smiling sewing ma
chine agent. He sees the dreamy past and
the busy present. He hears the hum of
progress and sees the wheel turn round,
and the proud American eagle soaring above
him screams out, "See what the old gal
could do if she was given fair show!'
And the old man bows his head and weeps
Congress won't give US a show-that is,
she hasn't up to this time-but she's got to
do so pretty soon, or down comes her shanty.
We spoke for over an hour. Knowing
that our contemporary would have one of
his parasites present, even If kept out him
self, we had our agricultural editor take
notes. We find by reference to those notes
that we knocked out old Cicero's best effort
before the end of the second round, and our
remarks were received with thunderouS ap-
plause exactly SO times, with many other
occasions when they were not exactly
thunderous. On IA different occasions we
stopped speaking to mop our brow and
wipe our ears, but the patriotic audience,
fearing we were going to quit business,
arose as one man and yelled, go on, old
man; go onp' Not an egg, potato, gourd,
dead rabbit or other evidence of dissatis-
faction was hurled at US, and in place of
those familiar and disheartening shouts of
Come offl'' and write US the restp' we
were spurred to renewed efforts by waving
hats and cries of He's a daisyp' and
Lets run him for congress!''-
We closed with peroration into which
we carelessly tossed about dozen Latin
words and Greek maxims at a venture, and
the audience arose and smashed benches
and howled with delight. We were picked
up by half dozen men and carried around
the hall on their shoulders, and it was half
an hour before the enthusiasm had quieted
down to that point where the meeting
could go on. AS to the feelings of our con-

FLOWER SUPERSTlTlONS.

Maidens' Barometers For Divining the
Depths of Their Sweethearts' Love.
1t is singular to see how many mean
ingless ceremonies are now practiced by
young women-ceremonies which were
formerly used in earnest as love charms
or incantations. Most Of these have an am
atory origin, and in connection with not
afew certain flowers are used, presumably
as a means of foretelling the future. In
several parts of New England when q
young lady expects visit from her lover
she will pluck marigold, take it in her
hand when he arrives and carry it until
the end of his visit, when from its fresh
or faded condition she will judge of the
strength of his affection.
A German girl, after having been
called on by her lover, will put star
flower or dandelion in water and leave it
there until his next visit, drawing an
omen from its condition, while Spanish
maiden will take moss rosebud, wear
it on her breast, and if it expands to be-
come a perfect flower the omen is con-
sidered exceedingly fortunate. A super
stition of the same kind is shown by the
East Indian maiden who places a poppy
in her hair. In England the primrose is
used for the same purpose, and in coun-
try districts of New England the spikes
of the rib wort plantain are taken,
wrapped in dock leaves, placed beneath
stone, and if the next day signs of new
buds appear the omen is considered
happy.
In France young ladies DESTROYS OF
ascertaining the extent of a lovers affec-
ton take the common daisy and pull off
its leaves one by one, with the question,
"Does he love me? Does he love me
little? Does he love me much? Does he
love me with all his soul?' Marguerite
in Faust uses the common blue bottle
with similar questions. In England the
ash leaf is sometimes employed to ascer-
tain the faithfulness of an absent lover,
and the Irish maiden learns of her future
by putting shamrock in her shoe, after
which she walks abroad, and the first
man she meets or one of his name will be
her husband. New York Advertiser.

The selectmen have no explanation to
give of their action in appointing a repub-
Ican to fill the Office of town clerk, made
vacant by the death of James j. Madden.
1t is said, although the news is not official,
that the appointment is only temporary,
and that if a petition be presented to them
the selectmen will call a special election to
determine who shall act as town clerk for
the remainder of the fiscal year. How
ever, we are inclined to doubt that Messrs
Pinney and Boughton will pay any atten-
ton to request that the matter be de-
cided at the polls. unless they are bound
to do so under the law. The fact that the
Office belongs to q democrat, as the records
of the recent election attest, is nothing to
such politicians as the selectmen have
proven themselves to be, and the sooner
the democrats begin to fight for their
rights in the premises the better. 1t mat
tiers not to the DEMOCRAT who is selected
for the position, if he be good democrat.
A petition for a special election should be
presented to the selectmen at once. 1t
will at least determine where they are at.

Some New York Breakfasts

Nearly every German bakery on Third
avenue serves breakfast and luncheon tC
the furnished room population of the
east side. Some serve eggs and cold
meats, coffee, tea and chocolate. The
majority, however, provide only coffee,
tea, rolls and cakes. Nine out of ten
of the customers take coffee and cake.
The latter is not the French or Ameri-
can kind. 1t consists Of four varieties
dear to the German palate-apple,
peach, prune and sugar. The last
named is also called cinnamon. 1t is
made of bread dough on the upper sur
face of which is spread some butter,
sugar and cinnamon. Then it is baked
hard.
The peach and apple cakes are made of
thinly rolled bread dough, surmounted by
slices of apples or peaches, as the case
may be. When little butter and sugar
have been placed between the slices, the
baker has approached as near perfection
as possible. The dough of the prune cake
thickly with mashed stewed prunes.
In the best bakeries slice of any of
these cakes from four to five inches
square is sold for cents. A good cup Of
coffee or tea with milk and sugar costs
the same. Those who like light and sweet
breakfasts can thus be satisfied for 10
cents. Probably 5000 east siders eat
such breakfasts in the bakeries every
morning.-New York Sun.
