ADVENTURES OF A BOTTLE.
Cast Upon the Waters 1t Returned After
Many DAYS.

In June, 1898, Lieut.. III. T. Mayo, of
the United States navy, in charge of
the photographic office at Port Towns
end, Wash, gave the captain of the
Northern Pacific steamer Victoria a
bottle which he asked him to drop into
the sea when his ship was about half
way across the Pacific on it's voyage to
China, so as to test the currents. The
bottle, SAYS the Chicago Record, was
securely corked and sealed and con-
tanned request printed in seven diff
ferent languages, including Russian,
Chinese and Japanese, that whoever
found it should send it to the nearest
custom house in the United States,
with the date and the location when
and where it was first seen. On July
4, 1898, when the vessel was in latitude
forty-nine degrees thirty-two minutes
north and longitude one hundred and
seventy-fve degrees and fortytwo
minutes west, Second Officer Dobson,
of the Victoria, took the bottle and
with a swing of his long arm cast it
into the water. One morning a few
weeks ago when Lieut.. Mayo came
down to his Office he found on his desk
package wrapped in an ancient and
much soiled German newspaper, which
to his surprise, was found to contain tbs
very bottle he sent on that queer
errand about sixteen months before
The janitor said the package had beer
left there BY two rough-looking sailors
Upon drawing the cork the ieutenan-
found rude inscription upon the bacl
of his carefully printed instructions
which read:

Why the Fruit of Athens Is Always Too
Green to Eat.
1t is the way of travellers to complain
of the food they are obliged to eat in
foreign countries. Whether it is an
American in Europe, or European in
America, the result is much the same.
We like the things to which we are ac-
customed. When Edmond About was
in Greece, he carried matters so far as
to object to eating green peaches. He
was in the bazaar at Athens, says the
Youths Companion.
Wouldn't it be possible to get some
ripe peaches?" he asked the vender
81 think not, answered the Athenian.
But pray tell me why?'
"We have no good roads. If the
farmers should try to bring ripe fruit
to market on mule-back, it would arrive
in the shape of marmalade."
But at Corfu, also, the peaches were
green, and they have good roads, and
bring the fruit to town in wagons"
'Ah, WELL" said the man, ''there is
another reason. The farmers have nc
money, and they have creditors. They
can't wait for fruit to get ripe"
There, says About, you have a fail
example of the state of Grecian agricul
ture.
A French gardener, being at Smyrna
noticed that the Greeks had almost Nc
vegetables in their gardens tomatoe.

cool. then pour it over the side meat.
Some use more saltpetre, but these
proportions keep the meat splendid

tank, exceptin cold weather. Vail is
placed at a suitable elevation, directly
under the grain bin, with spouts for
conveying the grain from the bin to
the vat. The water pipe b conveys
water from the tank or mill to vat 1.
The flow of grain is regulated by the
cutoff c, and water by the valve d. The
grain is soaked in vat / until it is soft,
when portion is drawn or shoveled
into vat O. If it is desirable to retain
the water in vat 1, a perforated scoop
is used. The soaked grain is now
ready to pass through the rollers h.
Being so soft that it can be mashed
between the thumb and fingers, it re-
quires comparatively little power to
run the rollers. This may be done by
horse or hand power. After passing
through the rollers, the mash drops
into vat 8, and can be fed at once or
allowed to stand from one feed to an
other. The latter method l prefer, as

were would buy forty-cent wheat
and make it net me eighty cents per

desired, the food can be cooked after
it is run through the rollers, using any
good steam cooker, or in cold weather
it can be cooked first, and run through
the rollers and fed warm. The rollers
should be twelve inches long and eight
in diameter for hand power, and larger
in proportion for horse power. One
roller, to which the power is applied,
is stationary, the other adjustable,

MYSTERIOUS DISCREPANCIES
Natives Of India Who Have Isolated Them

Natives Of India Who Have Isolated Them-
selves in the Wilds.
Some five or six years ago the son OF
the late Rajah of Tanjore-a man some
forty or fifty years of age, and, II
course, the chief native parsonage IN
that part Of India-made up his mind
to become devotee. He one day told
his friends he was going on railway
journey, sent off his servants and car
riage from the palace to the station,
saying he would follow, gave them tho
slip, and has never been heard Of since
His friends went to the man who was
known to have been acting as his guru,
who simply told them, You will never
find him." Supposing the G. o. NJ. or
the Prince of Wales were to retire like
this-how odd it would seem!
To illustrate this subject, NAV tell
the story of Tilleinathan Swamy, who
was the teacher Of the guru whose ac-
quaintance / am referring to in this
chapter. Tilleinathan was wealthy
ship owner of high family. In 1850 he
devoted himself to religious exercises,
till 1856, when he became s.emanci-
pated." After his attainment he felt
sick Of the world, and so he wound up
his affairs, divided all his goods and
money among relatives and dependents,
and went off stark naked into the
woods. His mother and sisters were
grieved, and repeatedly pursued him,
offering to surrender all to him If he
would only return. At last he simply
refused to answer their opportunities,
and they desisted. He appeared in
Tanjore after that in 1857, 1859, 1864
and 1872, but has not been seen since.
He is supposed to be living somewhere
in the Western Chants. From Adams
Peak to Elephanta Carpenter.

but fine athletic men, taller than the
average of Japanese. They wore their
hair in the ancient style, shaved away
from the center of the head, and that
from the back and side made into
queue, turned up and knotted with
string on the top of the poll; they had
no clothes excepta loin-cloth and an
embroidered apron.
In the second class were men who
had won but few prizes; they were not
at all in the professional get-up, and
some of them were evidently laboring
lnep with taste for sport. The third
class was composed of youths, none of
them more than nineteen or twenty
years old.
The proceedings were conducted by
Shinto priest in full dress, wide
trousers and coat sticking out from
the shoulders like that of modern
young lady, who with a peculiar shaped
fan gave the signal to begin and to stop.
The wrestlers came on in pairs as
their names were called, and after
great deal of marching round, stamp
ing, rubbing their limbs, making gest-
ures of defiance, and SO on, they squat
ted opposite each other. When the
signal was given to begin they rested

PEARLS IN HISTORY.
One That Made an Expensive Dish 70
CLEOPATRA,

Cleopatra.
The value of pearls has been in all
ages commensurate with their beauty.
In the east, especially, they have been
greatly admired, and enormous sums
of money have been paid for them.
Pliny observes that pearls are the most
valuable and excellent of all precious
stones. and from our Saviour's compar-
ing the kingdom of Heaven to pearl,
it is evident that they must have been
held in very high estimation at that
time. It is said that Julius Caesar gave
a pearl to the mother of Marcus Brutus
that was valued at 94s, AIT los. of our
present money; and Cleopatra dissolved
one worth g25O, 900 in vinegar, which
she drank at the supper with Marc An
tony.
From time immemorial there have
been fisheries of pearl in the Persian
gulf, the Red sea, and in the bays of
Ceylon; and when Colum bus arrived in
the Gulf of Paria on his first voyage to
America he was astonished to find the
precious gems Astounding there in un-
paralleled quantities. His men landed,
and saw the Indian women adorned
with splendid pearls round their arms,
as well as round their necks; but their
possessors seem to have been perfectly
ignorant of the true value of the gems,
as it is recorded that an Indian woman
gave one of the sailors four rows OF her
pearls merely in exchange for broken
earthenware plate.
The Spanish king forbade any one to
go within fifty leagues of the place
where such riches were found without
the royal permission, and took pos
session of the fisheries for himself; but
so cruelty did the Spaniards behave to
the natives, making them pe:force
dive for them, and brutality ill-treating
them when they were unsuccessful in
pearl finding, that Zone morning: at
dawn the Indians assailed the Span
iards, made a sanguinary slaughter of
them, and, with dancing and leaping,
ate them, both monl,s and laymen. -

than some of the larger varieties of

are restless and nervous and excellent
foragers. They do not stand confne-
ment we'll.
The most esteemed varieties of this
family are the white and the brown.
Both are equally hardy and good lay
ers, but the white has the advantage
of producing much larger eggs than
the brown. In this respect the white
compares most favorably with the
Minorcas. while the flavor of it's eggs
is admitted to be superior. AS market

them, the male seldom exceeding
