CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-Many reports OF dam
age and loss of life on the lakes in the
storm of Saturday and Sunday, reached
here last night. Only one local fatality
johnson OF the schooner John Raber who
was drowned off Dane Park, while en-
deavoring TO reach the land TO secure Q
tug to save his vessel.
Leaking like sieve, the sailors worn
out with two days work at the pumps,
with its rotten sails blown TO ribbons,
and its halyards streaming in the wind,
the old schooner John Raber drove close
TO shore of Dane Park. Indiana, and cast
anchor. Andrew johnson, the owner,
wanted to save his vessel-it was built
in 1S4S-an ordered out small boat,
manned by three sailors, and tried to
reach shore TO secure a tug. A mile from
shore, the boat was tossed by a hage
breaker and overturned. Johnson failed
TO reach the boat, and last night his body
lay alone and unattended on the sands,
waiting a coroner's visit today. The
three men stuck to the boat sud succeed
ed in making shore. Captain Weed staid
by the ship with two sailors. They were
rescued by the South Chicago life-saving
crew after midnight, having worked four
hours.

Remarkable samples Discovered In New

Remarkable Samples Discovered I'm New
England Cemeteries.
It Is common to say that makers OF
gravestones have little regard for the
truth; monumental liars" they are
sometimes called. But though the
good side of the departed Is generally
and properly-emphasize there are
many instances in which q spirit OF
franlxness seems to have possessed the
village poets, whose services are SO
much in demand on mortuary occa-
sions.
In Vermont cemetery, according to
an exchange, one may read the follow
ing epitaph, which certainly does not
RI on the side of flattery:
Hero lios In silont clay
Miss Arabeua Young,
Who, on the 2ist OF May,
began to hold her tongue
And here is quatrain, never be-
fore In print, of curiously similar i'm
port:

Three husbands had she, all are dead,

In the same rural cemetery where
this last outspol,cn epltaph is found,
visitors sometimes pause to smile at the
ingenious grief of u widower whose
change of mood in the concluding coup
let was perhaps quite unintentional:
In memory OF Susan Glover.

Grammatical correctness is perhaps
too much to ask of the unprofessional
muse. Meter and rhyme are hard task
masters, and while q man Is intent
upon minding them, he is almost to be
pardoned for using little too much Of
that very convenient article known as
poetic license. In n case like the fol-
lowing we may praise the smoothness
of the verse rather than laugh ut the
ruggcdness of the grammatical con-
struction:
Pause, good friend and drop tear,
Tho body OF John Pratt Is here.
Tank OF tho day when you Will be
Under the sod Us deep as nc.
The amateur poet is troubled not only
by the trammcls of meter and rhyme,
but by the narrow space IN which no
isobligcd 20 work. 1t is Impossible to say
everything in four lines, and, as con-
sequence, much must be left TO the un-
derstcnding OF the reader. So it was,
no doubt, with the author of the fol-
lowing:

GOOSE BARNACLE.

which it throws out from its she'll and
uses something like n hand or net.
The feeder Is made up of many slender
little fingers, with delicate fenthery
lateral projections, through which the
water passes easily, but which retain
the animnlculm. The barnacle throws
this feeder out from its shell and
sweeps it through the water and over
into its shell again with whatever it
can collect. 1t repeats this until 1t Is
no longer hungry.
The barnaclc here pictured was until
recently ut the New York aquarium at
Castle Garden. 1t was taken from the
back Of loggcrhead turtle captured in
the bay. The goose barnacle is deli
cate in captivity, and this one proved
no exception to tho rule. In color it's
shell was not unlike that of clam.
The growth seen on the side and back
of the shell and on the neck of the bar
nacle Is finc, brown, messy, morine
vegetation oftsp seen on such bar
naclcs. Thcrc were also on the shell
of this barnaclc three or four minute
barnaclcs of the ordinary kind, ex-
trcnely small, each perhaps not moro
than nm eighth of an inch across, and
yet each provided with one of those
wonderful hands or nets whcrcwitb to
supply itself with food. IN. Y. Sun.

The eastern owner of ranch in
San Diego county, CAL, has devised a
novel way of keeping thoroughly
posted rs to the condition of his prop
erty without the trouble and expense
of visiting it two or three times year
At certain seasons he has an elaborate
series of photographs of the property
taken, showing the buildings, the
stock, the fruit trees and everything
about the place. These pictures
show the amount of work done and the
exact condition of the work on the
ranch.

THE GOOSE BARNACLc.

Ono of the Most Interesting Members of
the Shcllllsh Family.
The goose barnacle does not attach
itself to an object rigidly by its shell,
like the common barnaclc, but by a
disk, at the base of q stem or neck,
and il Is from this stem or neck that it
gets the name of goose barnaclc. With
q glue or secretion of. its own it at
taches itself 50 tightly that it is diff
cult to scrape it off; but the neck is
flexible. The body of the goose barn
acle, when its hand or feeder is within
its shell and out of sight, looks some
thing like soft-shelled clam; and 1t is,
in fact, sometimes called the clam bar
naclc. The goose barnaclc is not UNI
usual in the waters around New York.
In its earliest existence the goose
barnacic, like other barnacles, is n free
swimmer, but it very soon attaches it
self, and thereafter it remains fast. It
may hitch on to n Spite in tidcway or
TO some other fixed object, but it is gen
orally found moored to a floating OBJ
iect, piece Of wood, q plank, or the
side of vessel; fastened to Il moving
object it is more likely to get sufficient
sustenance.
The barnaclc lives upon animalculfe.

Her mother was the favorite maid Of
pretty Georgia girl before the days
of secession, and had given her baby
this queer-sounding name because, as
she explained to her young mistress:
''Sugar is sweet, en- so is honey, en-
de badly is sweeter dan cider, en- so Use
named her fer bofe"
Mary Henson laughed at her serv-
ants fancy, but she was an indulgent
mistress and made no real objection,
so that Hannahs baby was henceforth
known to Hazel Dell farm rs "Sugy-
Honey"
To mistress and maid, as to mother
and child, the happy years went by
with presage of the honors of war in
store for that summer land and that
sunny-hearted people. Yet when the
first gun of Fort Sumpter sent its thun-
derous echoes round the world, 1t
found Mary's father already the colonel
of regiment on its way to join his
command, leaving his plantation to
the care of his wife and daughter and
q few trusted servants. These had
proved themselves faithful in the days
of peace and prosperity. They We're
now to be found not less SO through
years of adversely and peril Hannah,
with Jack, her husband, and Sugy-
Honey were the main house servants.
''All own in the world and all love
i leave in your hands, were the last
words of Col. Henson as he rode away,
and events proved that he knew in
whom he could trust.
The day came at last, when the war,
with all its changes, was over, and
Hannah had heard that her master was
coming home.
Four years of civil strife had left
their impress on the hillside and val
lev, rs well as in the hearts of the peo-
pie. The Henson mansion, which had
been built in colonial times, of stone
brought as ballast from the mother
country, was now a heap Of ruins, and
its ashes had been trampled by sway
ing lines of men grappled together in
the deadly struggle for victory. An
other impressive symbol of the family
misfortunes was newly-made grave
in the little family burying ground,
where an inscription on a slab of
white pine told to those who cared
to read that the mother of the house
hold had closed her eyes to the
sorrows of time. Hannah was making
ready for her master a little room in
the corner of the yard called an Office,
which, with her own cabin, were the
only buildings left standing. While
thus occupied she was expounding her
troubles to ugy-iIoney, who was dill
gently scrubbing the floor.

THE PECULIAR TURK.

What lie Does Whom n Fire Breaks Out
In His Neighborhood.
American boys and girls accustomed
to the dash of fire horses through the
streets, and the reaching of the burn
ing house or shop in five or ten min
utes, only fair performance of our fire
departments, will laugh to hear how
the slow-going Turk manages the mat
ter.
In Turkeys most important city,
Constantinoplc, there arc no electric
FIRE signals to be rung at almost any
street corner, but the fires are watched
for from several fire towers that are
built in various portions of the city.
The one shown in the accompanying
picture is in the old part Of Constants
nople, just 6nsidc the gate of Soula-
manic, and is q historic one, for It is
built on the site Of the forum of Con-
stantine the Great, from whose
name, as many of you probably know,
this beautiful city Of the Bosporus Is
named. Toward the top of this tall
graceful tower rod or pole projects on
each side; these are for the fire signals
On the top of the tower stands. day and
night, Waterman, who looks all about
on every side for the first sign of q fire.
If he sees suspicious smoke any
where he at once hangs out on the rods
sort Of ball-shaped basket or lantern,
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1895-10-12

as it is called, one for each district, mp
to the one where the fire seems to be.
The city was built on sever hills, and
each hill is district. so if the fire is in
the third district three balls will hang
on each side, that ali may know where
to run Cor the fire.
The street Waterman, whose duty it
is to keep his eye often on the tower,
soon secs the signal, and if it is in his
district he starts on run to warn the
fremcn. He has club, and as he runs
he beats on the pavement with it, and
cries at the top Of his voice: "Yanghin
var! Yanghin var!" There is fire!
There is fire. The first to hear
the roisc and dia are the dogs
of the city and the dogs Of
Constantinoplc ought to have story
all by themselves, for they are very
prominent. There are ten thousand Of
them, and the visitors say that it seems
as if every dog in the city turned out
for every fire. 1t is certain that almost
at once the Waterman has u great
crowd of dogs yclping and barking at
his heels, and this commotion soon
arouses the Ercmen. These are volun-
tcers, not regular company of trained
men rs we have, and part of them run
to where an old-fashioned hand engine
is kept, and get it out and start for the
fire with it, and another set of men
grab their leather water bags, which
they sling over their shoulders as they
run, and go to the nearest public foun-
tain to fill them with water. Then
they, too, rush to the fire, the engine
pipes arc attached to the bags, the men
begin to pump, and at last, when the
fire has had good half hours start,
some small streams of water arc played
on it, without, however, as you may
guess, very much effect.
At night colorcd light is used on
the towers, its color showing the dis
trict where the fire Is. AS the districts
arc large and the iircmcn have no idea
in what part Of tho district the fire
may be, they sometimes race over the
most of it, with dogs and people follow
ing, before they find the blaze; by that
time, perhaps, good part of the
water has leaked out of the bags,
which are kept in use when they arc
old and worn, and little good can be
done. 1t is because their means of
fighting fire are so slight and irpcr-
feet that the city is often visited by
most serious fires, and this is why. too,
the most dreadful sound in the streets,
particularly at night, is the shrili
"Yanghin var!r of the Waterman.
Many of the wcalthier citizens keep on
hand large heavy curtains, almost as
thick as the Turkish rugs, and of great
size, which they hang IN front of their
houses when q fire is near and seems
threatening. This curtain is called
kuxlseelirn. IN. Y. Times.

And see the mischief that you do
You took from me my tender heart,
Though you IL could no profit bring
Now mine Is but an Idle part;
have no heart for anything.
You robbed me OF my healthful sleep,
To me the night no more brings rests
Your haunting graces round me sweep
Whene'er my troubled pillows pressed
You stole my appetite away,
Alas! can no longer eat;
The dining hours that sweetenod day
Have lost the charm that made them sweet
Give back. give back all these again.
And you will forever bless;
For me to live with none were vain,
While you can surely live with less
Or II n part you wish to keep,

she journcyed toward her old home.
Arriving in the neighborhood, she
sent for old Hannah, who gave her the
particulars of her fathers condition,
and together they had many an anxious
discussion as to what was best to be
done.
"De doctor say it wouldn't do fer You
ter go ter see him. He is so sot again
yer fer havin' de captain; der shocK oh
seeih' yer might kill him." Hannah
said on one of those occasions. But

like III hire Sugy-Honey ter you ter
nus; he don't know what yer new
name is, nohow, en- she kin take de
baby ODER dar, en- maybe marster'n
notice him arter awhile"
Thus it was arranged, and the next
day when Sugy Honey did not appear
as usual, Col. Henson seemed restless,
and finally asked where she was.
~ dun hired her out to NUS"
answered Hannah. ~ taut she might
es well be maxim err little somcthin' Sc
not"
Col. Henson said no moro, but he
evidently missed the willing hands
and feet and the CHEEKY presence to
which he had been so long accustomed.
AS he sat on the porch that evening, a
| silent, disconsolate figure, he heard a
| jolly laugh and baby's pretty cooling.
1t proved to be Sugy-Honey and her
new charge.
The baby was n lovely little fellow,
just beginning to prattle. When Sugy-
Honey put him down from her lap he
toddled in the most matter-of-fact way
to Col. Henson, put his hands on the
coloners knees and chatted necessarily
in his pretty, hsping lingo.
The colonel soon commenced to take
little interest in farm matters; to in
quire of Jake how many of the old
negroes were still on the place; what
crops he planted, and to give some adj
vice as to their cultivation. Yet it was
plain that his day began when Sugy-
Honey came with the baby and ended
when they left. He still had no idea
who the little one really was, for all
were afraid to tell him.
Thus the summer days passed.
