THE MORSE FLYING DuToHMAN.

From Chambers JournaLl
The old Norsemen had a curious and
vague tradition of a phantom ship,
which they called Mannifual. The
French maritime chronicler jail gives an
account of her; so. likewise, does
Thorps in his work on Northern Myth
ology" She was so gigantic that her
masts were taller than the highest
mountains. The captain rode about on
horseback delivering his orders. Sail
ors going aloft as boys came down re-
spectacle, middle-aged men, and in the
blocks about her rigging were dining
halls where they sustained life during
their heavenward wanderings. When
passing through the Strait of Dover on
her way northward she stuck; but the
captain, with ready invention, ordered
her sides to be literally besmeared with
soap, and she slipped through leaving
the cliffs of France and England white
forever afterward.
Down to. within a century ago this
gigantic ship was known among Eng
Ilish sailors by the name of The Merry
Dun of Dover, but she seems quite to
have disappeared from the maritime
lore of this country. The seamen of
Normandy still believe in her existence.
and call her the Chase Froude. They
say that she is so immense that it takes
her seven years to tack. On one occa-
sion, in turning, her bowsprit swept
away a whole battalion of soldiers from
the Dover cliffs, while her stern boom
was demolishing the forts of Calais.
When she rolls, whales are tossed high
CANT particulars of this colossal fabric
are given by Jal; and in Les Tradi-
tons Populaires' of Sebillot eys egera-
ton runs into wild absurdity.

The Appeal to Fear Is Universally
Hurtful and DeInOraIIzing.
A few samples tell, in different lang
uage, the almost uniform tale of the out
come of the appeal to force 81 rebelled
with feelings of hatred and of desire for
revenge. 1t seemed to me unjust, i'm
posed by sheer force, not reason" One
tells the story of being coaxed by older
boys to steal some tobaccoo from his IA
ther. Il was caught and given whip
ping, no questions being asked and no
explanation given. The result was GER
tainly a fear of punishment in the future,
but no moral impression. thought my
father whipped me because he wanted
the tobacco himself, and so objected to
my having any of it," Another reports
that the impression left by punishment
was of a mixture of feeling of personal
indignity suffered-a feeling so strong as
to blot out the original offense-and a be-
lief that she was punished for beng de-
tected. Another thought she was pun
iShed because her father was :ne strong
er of the two; another that fear of harm
to self induced people to do right things;
another tells that he longed for the age
of Independence to arrive so that he
might retaliate, says Professor John
Sewers in August Popular, Science
Monthly. One upon fear of punishment
from God was freely Impressed formed the
idea that if he could put off death long
enough lying was the best way out of
some things. One child 6 years old
went into the front of the house after
she had been forbidden and, falling, hurt
herself. She was told that this was a
punishment from God; whence she drew
the not illogical conclusion that God was
a tyrant, but that it was possible to out
wit him by being more careful next time
and not falling down. One popularity
of the method of inducing morality by
creating fear is that some parents. in or
der to prevent lying. deem it advisable. to
lie themselves; e. g., talk about cutting
off the end of the boys tongue or making
him leave home. etc. But there is hardly
any need of multiplying incidents; all the
lists of pretty much all schools have
agreed in teaching-that the appeal to
fear as such is morally harmful. OF
course there are number of cases where
good results are said to have come from
punishment, but in such cases the pun
ishment was incidental, not the one i'm
portant thing; it was the emphasis added
to an explanation.

| stores.
TF'rom the New York SUM-
The fine parlors and waiting rooms
which are now to be found in the big
dry goods stores have been put to a
peculiar use by the pickpockets and
sneak-thieves that make the stores their
stamping ground Recently the porter
| in one of the Fourteenth street stores
found a pocket-book in one of the waste
baskets in the ladies' parlor. When
opened at the superintendent desk it
was found to contain check for 500
and a number of little trinkets. The
superintendent hunted up the address
of the person to whom the check was
made payable and wrote to her. She
came down the next day and proved
her ownership of the property.
Hardly a day passes without our
porters finding rifled pocket-books in
the ladies' parlor," said the superin-
tendent of this store, land, although we
have a detective on guard a large part
of the time, it seems impossible to
catch the thieves. The fact is that the
really expert pick-pockets and sneak
thief who works the dry goods stores
will take nothing except cash and
valuable jewelry. He will mot take the
risk of detection which the ordinary
thief does. Checks, trinkets and small
articles of no special value the expert
thief throws away.
''They rarely examine their booty in
the same store in which they steal it.
Take the pocket-book of this woman,
for instance. She was not in our store
at all on the day that the pocket-book
was found here. The pocket-book was
taken from her at swell store up
town. The thief evidently fastened
away as soon as the theft had been COM
mitted, came down here and examined
the pocket-book, took out the cash,
which, believe, amounted to $50 or $40,
and threw the rest into the waste bas-
ket.
''Of course, all these expert thieves
are women. Under their present sys-
TEN their. operations are very success
full. The ordinary thief goes around
grabbing here and there, and waits I'M
til he has collared all the stealable
things in sight. The chances are nine
out of ten that he will be detected be-
fore he finishes. That shows the SUI
periority of the expert crooks work.
She makes no effort to steal more than
one pocket-book at a time. She pays no
attention to goods on the counter, be-
cause they are too bulky and not easily
negotia BILE. Unless she is caught in the
act of taking a pocket-book there is
practically no chance of catching her.
Having made her grab she goes to some
other store, and in the privacy of the
ladies' room gets rid of any part of
her seizure which might be compromis-
ing / don't know of a single case of
this sort where the thief was caught
and the property recovered. OF course.
the detectives have learned to recognize
some of the thieves who work in this
way, but that has only enabled them
to keep them out of their stores. In
places where they are not known yet
they operate without hindrance."

After Mr.. Dow had been absent for
several years his relatives thought he
must be dead, and reports said that he
nad peen lost on the coast of Peru, so
ms mother secured a mourning bonnet
and preparations were made to hold
his funeral services on Sunday. The

them that he was all right, and there
was happy postponement of the SER

was married and engaged in burning
lime, during which time he built a
schooner and cruised about several
years. He went to Mexico with load
OF United States government supplies

BOWS INTERESTING HISTORY.
EventfuI Life of Maine Robinson
Crusoe
[F'rom the New York Telegram.1


Captain George G. Dow, of Thomas
ton, is man with a history, and a
mighty interesting one, too. The
Rocldand (Me) Star had a talk with
the old gentleman lately and cleaned
these among other facts: Captain Dow
was born in Weskeak, now South
Thomaston, in 1906 When twenty
years old he shipped on schooner
from the home port and, after a vow
age to Havana and Amsterdam. signed
articles to go on six years cruise on
a Dutch man-of-war Becoming tired
of this life, Dow and two other seamen
deserted the ship at the Cape Verde is
lands, swan ashore, three miles. and
hid in the woods for three DAYS with
out food or water. After a sort of
Robinson Crusoe life they shipped on
a Newburyport schooner that anchor
ed in the harbor on a sealing voyage.
A part of the crew were sent ashore to
capture seals. The vessel continued to
cruise about, and was wrecked on
Terra del Fuego, leaving the seamen
castaways upon the Franklin islands.
They managed to subsist there until
the captain could get another vessel to

THE SQUIRE AND MADAM.
[From the Cornhin Magazine.1


The squire is not a literary man in a
general way. He believes in the Bible
and Sir Walter Scott, and sometimes in
the mellow, lamp-lit evenings he takes
his Byron and rereads some of those wild
love lyrics which in his youth, at a GER
tain romantic time he very likely knew
by heart. He looks up from. the book
sometimes with very kindly old eyes at
Madame, sitting opposite to him. Mad
anne is still upright ard handsome in
spite, of gray hairs and wrinkles. The
world nnds her, indeed, q little too quiet
and dignified for its liking.
And the Squire says. with smile half
tender and humorous: do you remember
this, Mary?''' and reads her a line or two
of Solomon in church.
And the faintest delicate color starts in
Madame3's old cheeks, and there is a little
tender droop about her lips, and she re
members livery well, indeed.
The Squire is devoted to Madame. Per-
haps to him she is still bright.eyed and
one. Or perhaps he thinks
and becoming age in the world The old
couple are still quite enterprising. Now
the children are well advanced in middle
life Madame feels she may safely leave
selves. So every autumn the old pair take
a trip abroad. The Squire's attitude to-
wesrd Madame is quite chivalrous and pro-
tecting and considerable. The Squire stud
les Murray and Baydecker through his
gold-riBlmed spectacles, and tells Mad
anne, who is horribly submissive and old
fashioned, where it will be best for them
to go next. The Squire speaks langua ges
in the perfectly precise and grammatical
manner in which he learned them in his
youth, and which considerably astonishes
the natives

by and following her husband. She was

RICH ACTORS.
[From the Chicago Reeord.I

[From the Chicago Record.l
Every once in a while a newspaper
paragraph goes the rounds announcing
that NJ. Coquelin is the richest living ac-
tor, and that Mr.. Irving comes next in
the list of wealthy histrions. 1t is prob
able that Coquelin is rich, but Irving IS
by no means so. Coquelin is rich for the
very reason that Irving is not. Irving
lavishes his money upon his art; his pro-
auctions are magnificent extravagances
Coquelin never puts penny into scenery
or into costumes. Irving has gone broke
a number of times, and on several occa-
sions he has been compelled to come to
America to rehabilitate his fortunes. We
question whether he has now in bank a
sum of money equal to that which Ed
ward S. Willard has picked up by diligent
attention to business in the United
States.
1t is probable that Rossi is the richest
actor in Europe; he has an immense for
tune, lives in a palace and is served like
a potentate. 1t is understood that Tom
maso Salvini has great wealth. The ten
dency is to overestimate the wealth of
those presumably rich, but 1t is likely
that Miss Lolita has a very large proper
ty and that Joseph Jefferson is abundant
ly provided for.
William H. Crane could write his check
for a quarter of a million, and Sol Smith
Russell is not far behind. Stuart Robson
is very well-to-do, and so is Lillian Rus

Bartlett Davis has got together a large
property. Francis Wilson is rich and is
getting richer all the time. There are
many members of the profession in this
more prosperous financial circumstances
than Mr.. Irving is. We do not hesitate
to add that we do not particularly re-
joice IN this condition of things.
