Relics of Ship Wrecked Il Hun
dred Years Ago.
Philadelphia Record.
After lying at the bottom of Della
ware bay for nearly a century the
wreck of the good ship John is at
last coming to the surface, reviyipg
stories of disaster which caused a
big sensation at the time, and which
gave It's name to Ship John Light, Just
below Bombay Hook. The latest relic
OF sunken vessel was brought up the
other day by the graphing tongs of
the oyster schooner Susie Rayner, and
consists Of the rudder bolt and rudder
strop, both of which were made of
composite metals. These were taken
possession of by Capt. Solomon Walls.
OIL camden, the master of the Rayner
ana are now in his care. The wood
which the metal held together rotted
away and disappeared long ago.
IL Is supposed the past winters g
heavy storm washed away the sand
over the wreck and laid bare what re-
NAMED OF 1t. This view is strength
ened by the fact that a number of bot
ties OF brandy, which formed a consid-
cradle part of the Johns cargo, have
been washed ashore on both the Della
ware and New Jersey. sides during the
past few weeks, greatly to the delight
of the fishermen and farmers who have
been SO lucky as to f1nu them.
The ship John sailed from Hayre to
Philadelphia in 1897, with a large and
valuable cargo. In some way she was
caught fast in the ice in the Delaware
baY and became total wreck on
Dec. 16 of that year. Her passengers.
Who were mostly Germans, escaped to
the Cumberland county shore, on the
Jersey side, and became the pioneer
settlers of that part of South New Jer-
seE.-, The John was owned in Boston
and was commanded by Capt. L. H.
Drinier.
p Upon the site of the wreck the pres
ents Ship John lighthouse was built,
noW )ohei of the most important guides
for nmariners in the Delaware bay. The
ffgurehead of the lost vessel is now in
the possession of Capt Theodore
Wright, the government keeper of the
lighthouse. t'sd
For long time it was thought the
wreck of the John had entirely disap-
peared, but it is now believed that 1t
was only covered with sand, which is
being swept away by new currents. A
large portion of the cargo, some think,
may yet be recovered by the use of
proper appliances.

Fhe Number of Roses Used Each
Year in the Manufacture of
Snuff.
Although the practice Of snuff
taking went out with full-bottemed
wigs there are good many people
20 whom its Utilization is still a pleas
ure. Formerly it was used by the
gentry; now the demand for it is
entirely from democratic sources.
There is a prevalent idea that to-
bacco from which snuff is made is
almost entirely obtained from the to-
bacco plant. This is a mistake. Much
manipulation is necessary in the cur
ing OF the leaf and the fitting of it
for snuff-making. For certain
brands of snuff the tobacco is mixed
with scents, licorice and moIasses
before being dried and powdered. 1t
is stated that in snuffs alone one
factory uses up 10000, 600 roses a.
year. 1t takes 10000 roses to make
one ounce of altar of roses.
and the establishment men
toned buys three thousand ounces a
year. So powerful is this perfume
that it overpowers the weaker al
though still strong odor of tobacco.
The manufacture of snuff is very
elaborate. The main processes are
the cutting of the tobacco leaf. the
fermenting, the baking, the powder
ing, the scenting and the packing.
but there are at least a score of
lesser operations before the product
is shipped to the dealer.

His name is AloiS Swoboda, and he is

himself physically if he goes at it in
the right way. Swoboda has been eX-
amined frequently by Omaha's leading
physicians, and they are unanimous on
the point that he is marvel of mus

over his body, when contracted, are as

a perfect physique and enormous

cards in two with the wonderful
strength of his hands He has a sys-

ana claims that any man can become
as strong as he, or even stronger, If
they adhered to its requirements. At

THE SIN EATER.
A Curious Funeral Rite Which Formerly
Obtained In WaIeg.

A Curious Funeral Rite Which Formerly
Obtained In Wales.
The principality of Wales has within
living memory possessed an official
known as the ''sin eater,'' says a Lon
don journal. 1t was the practice for a.
.:relative-usualiy woman-to put on.
the breast Of deceased person a guam
tity of bread and cheese and beer, and.
the sin eater was sent for to consume
them and to pronounce the everlasting
rest Of the departed. 1t was believed
that i'll doing this he absolutely ate and
appropriated to himself the sins symbol
lied by the viands, and thereby pre-
vented their disturbing the repose Of
the sinner who had committed them.
Such all arrangement would obviously
leave nothing to be desired on the one
side, but how it worked Oh the other
we are not told. What was supposed to-
be the condition of this spiritual under
taker after the ceremony was concluded?
Did his appropriation of the dead.
man Is sins imply sort Of moral assimi-
latio1i of them, answering to his phys
ical assimilation of the bread and
chez ,se? The question would obviously
be one Of some Importance TO a sin eat
er in large practice. If the responsible
ties Of his profession were as great as
they would appea: to have been on this
hypothesis, he would need to retire
from it early and to devote a consider
able portion Of his closing years to re-
pentance and good works.
Again, it is natural to ask what hap
Oh ~ 1ors
fashionable sin eater. Won Id any one
among his professional brethr en- under
take to eat his sins, even in the first
flush Of satisfaction produced by step
ping into his shoes? If SO, then, indeed,
has the epithet Of gallant be Ell right
~ bestowed upon little Wales. 1t is as
though one doctor succeeding to anoth-
er's practice should consent to assume
the moral responsibility for his late col
leagues treatment of all his deceased
patients in addition to his own similar
burdens.
We yield to none in admir- alton of the
quiet and homely heroism of the med
ical profession, but we doubt whether it.
would enable them to face such an Or
deal as this. AS to the Welsh practition
ers to whom we have compared them,
we shrink from pursuing the analysis
further. It is evident that, as in the
schoolboy game of "conquerors, where
a stone which can smash the smasher,
of, say, 43 other stones takes over all
its conquests, and becomes itself a
'fortyfourer," SO the responsibilities
Of these unhappy men might accumulate
at an alarming rate. One hardly dares
to contemplate the internal condition
of the sin eater of sin eater who had
in life attended long series of other
sin eaters. The cheese would be almost
converted into Welsh rabbit before he
had got it down.

Very high, fiaring collars are to be worn

The attempt to revive the old fashioned
straight sack does not promise to be

miracle to bring it in fashion again now
and it is we'll understood that this is not

Bodices with small point back and
front are again in vogue, after the long
season of belts, and are much seen in cos
tumes of broche goods OR velvet. This is a
particularly happy style for large women,
as it lengthens the waist.
