THE HUB IS IN IT.
Offers $4,000 Cup For a Race at
Marble Head Between the
Yachts

Boston, Sept. 13-Gen. Charles
II. Taylor of this city, has made
an offer to c.. Oliver Iselin and to
Lord Dunraven of a S., 900 cup as a
trophy to be contested for on his
Marble Head course by the Defen-
der andNalkyrie III and thus de-
termine which is the better of the
two boats. The following telegram
sent by Gen. Taylor to Mr.. Iselin
and Lord Dunraven explains it.
self.
Owing to the unsatisfactory
conditions which seem to exist
for a New York contest of such
magnitude as you are engaged in,
hereby offer a 5000 international
challenge cup to be sailed for by
the Defender and Valkyrie III of
Marble head, cup to be called the
massachusetts bay cup" In case
of acceptance conditions can be ar
ranged at once.
(Signed),
CHARLES III. TAYLOR.
The offer was taken under con-
sideration by the New York Yacht
club committee and Lord Dun
raven is considering the propo-
sition. Should the Valkyrie and
Defender come to Marble Head, to
race, it is quite likely that the
Eastern yacht club will be asked
to take charge of the contests. The
Eastern Yacht club is one of the
best known ON the Atlantic coast,
and has high standing among
yachtsmen.

The interior is richly frescoed and
adorned, and it is probably more
handsomely and expensively finish
ed than any other building in the
country. We were told by guide
that 1900 persons were employed
here.
Our guide led us to the Art Gal
lery directly opposite the State,
War and Navy Department. 1t
contains nearly two hundred paint
ings, most of them masterpieces,
and the finest collection of cast and
marble statuary in the country.
After fcasting our eyes on the grand
display, we boarded street car and
soon found ourselves at the Navy
Yards. Here are located two ship
houses, boundaries, and shops for
the manufacture of almost every
thing necessary for fitting out a YES
sci. Many other points of interest
were visited, the last being the
Statue of Martin Luther. This

town, feeling tired, but knowing
that the day had been well spent in

A PULLMAN PORTER's REASON.
Why We Should Sleep with Our Heads
Toward the Engine.


In riding on Pullman car" said
colored porter more than usually OBJ
servant, according to the Chicago Trib-
une, sleep with your head to the en-
gine. There are not SO many head-on
collisions on the railroads, experience
has shown. and besides the danger is
less from rear-end collision The
reason for this is that every passenger
train has its own right-of-way and runs
regularly, and is looked Tor by the train
ahead of it. The greatest danger is
from train behind which doesn't
know when we have stopped or broken
something and been forced to stop.
This is the chief reason for sleeping
this way. but there are others.
You get the Graught in the right
place" the porter continued, with
Your head toward the engine. Your
head feels cool without being exposed
to the flood of air you would get if you
Were pointing the other way But the
most important reason for travelling
this way is the matter of the circula
ton of your blood The motion of the
train is so strong and steady that it
sends all the blood toward the end thar
is farthest from tie oagine. Put your
feet to the engine and the blood goes
away from your head. leaving it cool
and easy. so you can rest like child
When you have got yourself fixed this
way. and. moreover. have got in the
middle Of the car, because it is the
safest. then you are ready for good
nights sleep

WATERMELON STORIES.
They Are Beating Fish Yarns Out OF
Sight and the End Is Not Yet.

They Are Beating Fish Yarns Out of
Sight and the End Is Not Yet.
The fsh-story Ananias is not sustain
ing his reputation this summer, and
the watermelon Ananias is rapidly
pushing him from his well-earned and
long-held position, says the Boston Her
aid. Accounts of incredible melons
rush in restless waves from the south,
while the season has not brought forth
a solitary story of wonderful catch Of
fish and that tcn-pound brook trout
has not as much as shown his nose up
to date. A gentleman of the name of
T. NJ. Caffey, of Haynesville, Lownaes
county, Ala, has come to the front as
the hero of the champion melon novel
cite. 1t is stated that he pulled a wa
ternelon from his patch during the
session of the Baptist association at
Haynesville, which tipped the beam at
seventy-three pounds. It is said to
have been cut and set before twenty
eight delegates and visitors to the asso-
cation, and that after their appetite
had been fully gratifed the report is
that there was enough left for half
dozen more melon munchers. As Mr..
Cafey's portrait does not accompany
the account of the melon in the local
newspaper, there is every reason
to believe that ne is a myth and
the story an ananiasism. OF course,
this melon will be cast into the
shade by melon of still greater size.
and there is a strong likelihood that
the business will not stop before a one
lundred-pound production comes to
the front. The Georgia gooscbcrry that
weighed fourteen and three-fourths
ounces knocks this Cafey melon sky
high in point Of daring invention.

Something yTortl, Knowing.

Prof. William Jones, Of Harvard,
il his text book on Psychology, says:
Gould the young but realize how
soon they will become mere walking
bundles of habits they would give
more heed to their conduct while in
the plastic state. Every smallest
stroke OF virtue or of vice leaves its
scar. The drunken Rip Van Winkle
in Jetferson's play excuses himself for
every fresh dereliction by saying: i
won't count this time" Well; he
may not connt it, AMI a kind Heav-
en- may not count it, but it is being
counted none the less. Down among
the nerve cells and fbers the mole
cules are counting it, registering and
storing it up, to be used against him
when the next temptation comes.
Nothing we ever do is, in strict scien-
tifc literalness, wiped out. Ofcourse,
this Las its good side as well as its bad
one. AS we become permanent
drunkards by So many separate drinks.

BIRD COLONIES.
Great Cliffs Within the arctic Circle
Where Millions Nest.

Where Millions Nest.
Within the arctic circles are the
great bird colonies. The largest and
most remarkable is that of Svaerholt
Klubben.
Every inch OF this wonderful cliff,
which rises about one thousand feet
from the waters edge and is of consid-
erably greater breadth, says the Den
yer Times, may be said to be used by
the birds. The discharge of small
cannon in the immediate neighborhood
will darllen the air with millions of
birds, but even then field glass viii
reveal the innumerable ledges white
with the undisturbed millions.
These consist almost entirely Of the
small gull (Rissia tridactyla), and they
are source of considerable income to
the owner of the colony, who lives ut
the little fishing station close by
About the middle Of May each year. by
means of a long ladder placed against

Ropes are not used for this purpose
at Svaerholt, as they are in the Farce
isles, so that the highest of the above
figures represent only very small per

OVERWEIGHT BAGGAGE.
Reason Why the Man Refused TO Pay
Extra Charges.

Extra Charges
The following incident occurred at a
railway station near Rochdalc. says the
Florida Times nion A young man
was standing beside some luggage
waiting fora train. when porter came
up to him and said:
''Sir. that luggage is overweight.
''Hho says it is?' asked the man, who
stammcrcd badly.
We'll. think it is, answered the
porter. but we will weigh it.
During the conversation a crowd had
collected round them. and another por-
ter came up and asked what was the
matter. The man stammcrcd out:
First he says it is overweight:
then he-says he thinks it is over
weight. aud then he says he will
weigh it.
The porters then took hold o. the
luggage and carried it to the office and
weighed it.
1T is overweight, and you have got

well, if you won't pay it, we shall
fetch the station master, said the por-
ter.
Fetch Who you like: sh-an't pay
it." again stammered the man.
The station master was duly fetched,
and on arriving asked what the bother
was about, when the man again said:
''F-irst he says it is overweight, and
then he thinks it's overweight, and
then he weighs it, and says it's over
weight, and have fifty cents to pay.

well said the station master, in a
rage, why won't you pay it?''

Something About Moonshjne.

The astronomer royal for Scotland
states that when the moon is half full
its brilliancy is not nearly one-half as
great as when it is quite full. He at
tributes the brightness of the full moon
and the lack Of brightness in the half
moon to the variations in the reflected
sunshine which are due to the rugged
ness of the moons surface. The high
peaks and immense chasms on the
moons surface are constantly at cross
purpose in their mode Of redecting
light. The bright streaks which the
telescope proves to emanatc from era
tcrs and chasms are largely invisible
under cross light, but are brilliantly
illuminated when the sun shines full
upon them.
