WRECK OF THE RElNA REGENT
No Longer Doubt About the Loss OF
the Spanish Warship

Madrid, March 20.-There no longer
seems to be any doubt that the story of
the wreck of the Spanish cruiser Reina
Regente is true. The coast of Chile, north
of Cape Trafalgar, where the cruiser
foundered. according to the report of the
commander of the Alfonso. is strewn
with wreckage belonging to the Relna
Regente. and with officers uniforms,
flags, ETC., showing beyond any reasona-
BILE doubt that the warship is lost. The
authorities will not allow the people
near the coast of Conil. fearing painful
scenes when the bodies of the drowned
sailors are recovered.
A TOP-HEAVY SHIP.
New York. March 20.-Commander f.
Fernand, stationed al the Brooklyn navy
yard as chief of construction, said yes
terday Just after the Columbian ma
val celebration the Reina Regente was
in our dry dock here, and 1 had a good
chance to study her points. She was
about the most top-heavy ship ever saw.
Her officers informed me that she had
400 tons of water ballast in her double
bottoms to keep her from rolling over.
She had a great amount of free board,
and her heavy battery was mounted too
high. She was splendid example of
what a naval constructor should avoid.
When we took her out of the dry dock
| it was in deadly fear that she would
topple over"

ADRlFT ON THE OCEAN.
The Remarkable Voyage Of . Deserted
Schooner.

The Remarkable Voyage Of . Deserted
Schooner.
Some of the caprices of the ocean are
inexplIcable. March 81, 1891, an
American three-masted schooner, the
Wyer G. Sargent, of Sedgwick, Me-,
was abandoned by her crew of Cape
Hatteras, hopeless wreck. But the
deserted vessel did not break up or
founder. On the contrary, she hung
together with amazing tenacity, and
from that day to this has been floating
aimlessly about in the path of com.
merce between our ports and Europe.
She has been sighted and reported
during these twenty-one months by
twenty-five different vessels-to say
nothing of those which passed peril
ously near her in the night or foggy
weather. She was last seen q few days
ago by British steamship nine hun
dred miles due east of Bermuda The
dismasted hull was still in good condi-
ton. The name on her stern was dis
tinctly visible and a rusty anchor
dangled from the bow. During the
year and nine months that this mast
less and rudderless hulk has been drift
ing hither and thither, the sport of the
elements, scores of strong ships, well
manned and well found, have sue
cumbed to the fury of the winds and
waves, some Of them not leaving a soul
to tell their story, while deserted
craft, without rag of canvas, has
come safely through hurricane and
cyclone without number to lie deadly
menace in the path of navigation.

THE PRESIDENTS SIGNATURE.
Ono Man Geta 81 200 Year for WritinR
(3rOvor Clevelnnd's Name.

Ono Man Geta 81 200 . Year for Writing
Grover CleveIand's Name.
Much of the presidents business con-
sists in signing his name, which must
be attached to all appointments, COM
missions, promotions and a thousand
and one other documents. So exact
ing is this part of his duty that he can
not perform the whole of it, says the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. One en-
ploye of the government gets twelve
hundred dollars a year for writing Mr..
Cleveland's name on land warrants
He does nothing else but that.
There are other officials in Uncle
Sans employ, by the way. who do
nothing else, practically, but sign their
own names. This is almost the sole
duty Of the register of the treasury,
who is kept hard at work signing docu-
ments from nine a. m. to four p. IN.
every day. The assistant treasurer Of
the United States is another slave to
his own signature, which he is perpet-
ually engaged in afffxing to warrants
for money.
Mr.. Clevelands messages to congress
are all written in autograph originally.
He does all his writing with his own
hand. Such documents he produces on
foolscap with pen and ink, turning off
sheet after sheet with scarcely q cor
rection. An Interpolation is rare in
his manuscript. In this fashion his
most finished speeches are evolved.
The literary method pursued by Presi-
dent Harrison was wholly different.
He found it very hard to write with a
pen, and so he would keep by him .
pad of paper and a soft lead pencil.
With these he would jot down notes
from time to time during leisure mo-
ments, and from the memoranda thus
made he would afterward dictate to
the s:enographer. The messages sent
to congress are careful copies of the
original. Senator Edmunds, while pre-
siding officer pro tenn. of the upper
house, refused to receive typewriter
message from the president. He
claimed that the law required ines
sage in writing" and that the type
script was not written in the proper
sense. This ruling established q prec.
edent which has been followed ever

THE ANCHOR NURSE.


Down Very Zine Indeed.
II see that Ives made great run at
billiards the other day" said the old
man as he chalkcd his cue. and that
he did it with the anchor nurse. Now
the papers are talking about that an
chor nurse a. if il was new thing. /
saw an anchor nurse used way back in
-, and the fellow who used it had
used it before, too"
Pressed for the story by Buffalo Ex-
press writer. The old man said: Il was
in hard luck that winter and was act
ing as room keeper for 4 friend Of
mine. One day fellow came into the
room and got into a game. He proved
TO he very good player, a:ad for a
week or two he came up regularly and
laid out the local experts to the queens
taste Then a match was made be-
tween him and the best player in town
for one hundred dollars. 1t was to be
five hundred points up, straight bill
lizards.
The night for the match came and
the room was crowded. They began
to play. and dubbed along until each
one of them had fifty or so buttons.
Then the stranger got the balls against
the rail and held them in one spot. He
ran out the game, making, to be exact,
four hundred and forty-seven billiards
! The last shot he made was hard drive
from the lower end of the table and it
broke the balls up. He was loudly ap-
plauded, and there were many CON-
ments on his skill in keeping the balls
anchored as he did. He got the money
and went away.
Next day we were talking over the
game, and one man said he didn't be-
lieve any man could make SO many
points off two balls without moving
them. lie talked SO much that we ex-
amined the table. Then we got on to
the anchor nurse"
Ibid he have hole punched in the
clOth?" asked a listener.
NO" said the old man, "he didn't"
IAN on the square, was it?"
"Well, not exactly. You see he car
ried a small bottle of liquid glue with
him, and he put COB of it on the table
! next the cushion when we didn't see
him" The old man picked up his cue
and made a carom. There was a
man." he said, "who had the anchor
nurse down about as fine as any OF
| them"

HOUSEHOLD PLANTS.

Do not keep your pots of bulbs too
warm after they begin to bloom
warmth and sunlight cause the flowers
to fade soon.
Hanging baskets dry out much more
quickly than ported plants, and, where
kept in dry atmosphere, daily water
ing is not too frequent.
The most formidable enemies of
house plants are the dust and high
temperature. Plants should be COW
cred, while sweeping is going on, and
treated to frequent sprayings and
busting.
Plants do better in temperature of
GO degrees than in one of 70 or 70.
Where the rooms are kept quite warm,
the atmosphere may be kept moist by
placing vessel containing water, ON
the stove.
| In following Spring remove all the
bulblets Deserving these for new
plantation. for succession, etc.,) as the
central bulb is the one you are now
cultivating for bloom. Repeat all the
above rules. and the third Spring you
will have dozens of blooming bulbs
Where one has space and leisure this
is nice work, but an easier way is to
patronize reliable florist and secure
these results in dozens of well-grown,
mature bulbs.
The most efiectual mode of exter-
minating the green aphis and red
spider on house plants is by the use
of hot water. Heat water to tenn
perature of $50 degrees, using a Their
! mometer to test. Plants allowed to
remain in water at this temperature
would be killed, but if quickly plunged
! in, and as quickly removed, no harm
will result to- the plant, but the
troublesome insects will be destroyed.
This treatment is much better than
the Use OF tobacco or other remedies
someties prescribed.
Many who attempt to grow tube
roses become discouraged because
they succeed in making bulb bloom
but once. A writer in "Success with
| loWCIS &lNCS bOiiO
nation on the subject as follows
"When q mature bulb ceases bloom
ing that is the end of its life-to
bloom. But the little bnlblets that
are found encircling it may be care
fully removed after its Winters sleep
in safe quarters, free from damp or
chill, and planted out in June in well
dag, rich soil, in rows about three
inches apart and one foot apart in the
rows. Cultivate all Summer; water
weed and do all things necessary to
secure healthy, heavy, plump bullets
Lift before frost, spread out on tables
in a sheltered warm place to dry; cut
off the foliage within an inch of the
bulb, allow the tiny new bullets to
remain attached, as in the first case
treat exactly as for the mother bulb.

AN EVIL SPIRIT.

Cow Bolivian Indians verc Taught to
- Respect the Electric Light.
1.-THE Bolivian government" said
Amos ]. Thomas, as recorded by the
Washington Star, recently attempted
to establish telephone line between
Lapas and Lake Titicaca, forty-five
miles apart. 1t was torn down and de-
stroyed so frequently by the Indians
that the government was compelled to
abandon it. The electric-light plant
in Lapas was preserved by adopting
an ingenious method of overawing the
natives. After the plant had been in
operation but few nights it happened
that there was an eclipse of the moon.
The superstitious Indians believed
that the electric light was absorbing
or swallowing the moon. They gath
cred in a large body at one quarter OF
the town and moved upon the plant to
destroy it. 1t was saved only by the
Intervention of large body of troops.
The government the next day selected
several representative Indians. took
them to the power-house, shocked
them severely, then took them out
along the line and shocked them again
with the wires and informed them that
the electric light was an evil spirit, and
that they had better leave it alone.
Since then they have had no trouble or
| that score"

HUNTING WITH TURKEYS.
Tame Birds Used to Capture the wild
Ones.

Tame Birds Used to Capture the wild
Ones.
'Tame turkeys can be trained to
hunt wild Ones" said st. Louisan re-
Gently to D Globe-Democrat man. 81
owned one called Dick, down in Polk
county, Tenn, that obtained state
reputation. / was offered one hum
dred dollars for him at one time, but
then thought he was phenomenal
bird. Since his death, however, have
discovered that the talent for hunting
wild turkeys is not uncommon among
tame ones. The call of the wild fowl
differs from that of the domestic one,
but the latter can easily learn the for
mer's calls If the hunter is patient
enough to teach him. The tame tur.
key can be taught so that he can be
taken into the woods, and will then
send forth the challenge call. If q
turkey cock is within hearing an an
swering note of defiance is invariably
made. This is replied to, and finally
the wild turkey will come very eau
tiously until he sees the tame one, As
he is q suspicious creature. But when
he sees the turkey his fears are gone
and he starts at once to do battle
Then the trained turkey runs and the
hunter shoots.
''The advantages of this method Of
hunting are very great. While q
hunter can initiate turkey call pref
ty closely, there is an accompaniment
made by striking the ground with the
wings which cannot be reproduced
and without this the game is sus
picious. The hunting turkey must BIZ
taken in hand when very young and
constantly drilled, but beyond the pa
thence required very little skill need t.
exist upon the part of the trainer"

EASILY EXPLAINED.
Just the Kidd Of Dog for That Particular
BuslnOes.

Just the Kind Of Dog for That Particular
Business.
Speaking of the dog show, said the
man in the slate-colored trousers to q
New York Tribune reporter, reminds
me of an astonishing proof of canine
intelligence which came under my OBJ
servation in the year 1879. was at that
time residing in Binghamton, Brooms
county, N. Y, and had q considerable
amount of live stock, some poultry and
. superb setter dog. 1 tell you, he was
. fine animal. I never see q dog with
such gentle ways. Gentlemen, you
could have pulled enough hair out Of
that dog to stuff q sofa pillow and he
wouldn't a bit q bald-headed baby.
One day The was running around the
yard and somehow playfully snapped
the head of hen. Gentlemen, I
never knowed how he did it, but some
how or other the dog found out that
she was q settin' hen, and blamed if
the critter didn't go and set on them
eggs himself till he Matched out nine
chickens"
There was significant silence as the
man in the slate-colored trousers fin
ished and toyed suggestively with his
glass.
"How do you explain such a remark
able occurrence" at length inquired
the man ON the end.
''Setter dog, gentlemen" and then
the man in the slate-colored trousers
strolled away.
