"MAN OVERBOARDw
A Lively Little Joke, but 1t Cost Him His
Baggage.

Steamship passengers frequently re-
sort to practical jokes to relieve the mo-
notony Of voyages, - said a retired sea
captain yesterday, land while the
pranks, as a rule, are perfectly harmless
they sometimes have boomerang effect.
Three years ago we were crossing the
Atlantic, and both the owners and my
self were exceedingly anxioua to make a
speedy trip, as q rival liner had the
week before lowered the record held by
Our company. On the third day out just
about dusk the cry of Man overheard !!
rang through the ship, and a hurried in
vestigation elected the information that
several Of the passengers had heard a
splash, followed by piteOus appeals Of
Help, help! Save me! The engines
were stopped, and the steamer put about,
close watch being kept meanwhile for
the drowning man. A half hour was
spent in cruising about without results,
and we started on our journey under the
belief that the poor fellow had gone to
the bottom. The inquiry that followed
proved puzzling. No one was missing,
and we came to the conclusion that a
stowaway had committed suicide.
1.-THE next day, however, an explana-
tion came. We had ventriloquist
aboard in the person Of very smart
young man, who was too tickled over
the success Of his joke to keep the secret.
''Then the laugh was on him. AS he
had caused a serious delay and much
annoyance I notified him that I had
made an official entry of the circum-
stance on my log and the loss Of time,
and that on approaching shore would
detain him until a sufficient guarantee
had been put up that he would answer
in court to reply to demand for fnan-
cial restitution. talked Of $4,000 be-
ing about the penalty under the govern
ment mail contract, and it is needless
to say he spent the balance Of the voyage
on tenter hooks. He disappeared before
we locked, leaving his baggage be-
hind. San Francisco Post.

HOW BEADS ARE MADE

One Of the eldest and Most ntercstinx Of
the, MinU Arts.
Chinese are. the eldest beadmakers in
the world. They have made beads SO
long that even their. historians do not
mention time when the industry was
not ancient. And the Chinese todav do
the work just as their forefathers, did.
and the styles; are exactly the same.
After the Chinese nnpeop1e are soex-
pert as the Venetians. At present there
are more than 600 wurkmen1 in the is
land OF Murano, alonB who are engaged
In beadmaking, The few manufacturers
in other parts, of the world have all
learned the secret Of the craft in Venice.
For beadmaking there, must be rope
walk connected with tine glass factory.
A rope walk is Al narrow; straight gal
lery 100 feet long: and SO situated that
the middle is not far from the furnaces
in which the glass is; melted. The first
process is the making of ordinary tubes
like those used I'M almost every drug
store. Two brawny workmen with bare,
brown arms seize a huge wedge Of the
metal" as the molten glass is. called,
between their blowpipes, and after it
has been blown hollow they gradually
stretch it out into a long, swinging rope.
When it has been reduced to the prop
or size tor the beads about to be- made;
it is laid away to; cool, after which;
workman comes along and in wonder
fully dett manner chips it into frag-
ments of uniform size Often for small
beads these are not much larger than
grain OF wheat, but so carefully is the
work done that the little cylinders are
rarely cracked or spoiled.
The pieces are now picked up by boys
and placed in a tub with sand and ashes
and stirred up carefully. In this way
the holes in the embryo beads are stuffed
full, thus preventing the danger Of the
sides f1attening together when heat is
applied. They are next placed in a skill
let-Just such one as the housewife
uses in frying eggs-and stirred over
very hot fire until the ragged edges
where tho pieces We're broken from the
tube are rounded, giving the bead a
globular form.
AS soon as they are cool the ashes and
sand are shaken out of them in sieve.
and then they are separated according
to size by other sleeves. They are taken
next to long table around which
whole flock Of boys and girls are sitting
If the glass is colored, as it often is, the
piles of beads on the table suggest a
rainbow, with every hue, from Jet black,
through red, green, yellow and blue, up
to white.
Each child has a needle and thread,
and by long practice the beads are
placed on strings with almost incon-
ceivable swiftness And the children
keep an exact count, too, so that the
manufacturer knows just how many
beads he is sending out The threads
are tied into bundles and shipped to al
most every port where vessel touches.

BRYANT'S MARRIAGE.

1t Was an Ideal Union Between the Poet

AllusiOn has already been made to
William Cullen Bryant's marriage
None could have beeu happier, no un-

parents had lived on the Seekonk, a
stream tributary to the Green river, not
far from Great Burlington Early left
an orphan, she made her home alter
nately with her married sisters in that
place, and there it was that Bryant met
her. Charming in person, sweet in dis
position, lovely in character, she drew
him to her through his sympathy with
her orphanage, his admiration Of her
beauty and his appreciation of her
worth. For IS years she was the stay
and blessing of his life. What that mar
riage was to him they knew best who
knew him best. Reserved on the subject
to the world at large, he allowed only
those who were nearest him to know
the wonderful depth and tenderness of
his affection. Their sympathy was per-

it's success with the public to be pre-
cisely in proportion to the impression it
made upon her." A dear friend Of them
both has said: 1.-The union between Mr..
and Mrs. Bryant was poem of the
tenderest rhythm. Any Of us who re-
member Mr.. Bryant's voice when he
said Frances will join in his hope that
she kept the same beloved name in
heaven. I remember alluding to those
exquisite lines, The Future Life,' to
Mrs. Bryant, and her replying, oh, my
dear, I am always sorry for any one
who sees me after reading those lines
they must be so disappointed. Beatrice
and Laura have not received such trib-
utes from their poets, for Mrs. Bryant s
husband was her poet and lover at 70 as

A Woman of Nerve.

Mrs. Louis Kirshoffer Of Orange, N.
j., is a woman of nerve. The other day
a hound belonging to her husband went
mad, broke his chain and made a dash
at one of Mrs. Kirshoffer' s sons. He tore
the boys clothes, but fortunately did not
bite hard enough to- break the skin
Mrs. Kirshoffer rushed to her sons aid,
and the dog turned on her and bit her,
but her clothes were too thick for him
to break the skin. She then picked the
dog up by the collar, carried him to the
cellarway, threw him down the steps
and closed the door. Mr.. Kirshoffer
came home later and shot him.

An Innocent MAN Convicted; on Cfbeun-
stantial Evidences.
Did L ever. know of an Innocent man
being convicted ON circumstantiaE evi-
dence?" repeated Detroit lawyer who
was smoking acigar in hotel the ether
evening. "Yesi I know Of case: In
fact, l was the prisoners attorney It
happened in Missouri about 20 years ago
and was one Of my first cases.. ...~a. ~.
/ 1t was this way" continues the
lawyer as he got comfortably settled
down. "a farmer had a horse stolen,
and the animal was, followed for ten
miles and found under shed in the
suburbs of the. town where lived. At
the same time they found man in, hid
ing. He refused to give any account Of
himself, and whsn charged with being
the horse thief; he did not deny it, It
was not until he was put on trial in the
higher court that was retained. He
stoutly declared his innocence. and Had
several men Oh hand to prove his good
character, but BE wouldn't account for
his whereabouts on the night the horse
was stolen. mot only felt sure Of his
guilt, but had no show to make for him
and wasn't disappointed when he, was
convicted offhand. AS to- the 'circum-
stantial' part, they proved that he. knew
the horse and had said he felt tempted
to steal it,; also that he was seen that
evening within mile of the farmers
barn. Horse hairs were found on his
trousers Legs, and he was in hiding
near the horse. Everything pointed to
his guilt, and the jury made quick work
of him.
And wasn't he guilty?'' asked one
Of the group.
mot bit Of it, After he had been
sentenced for three years his wife came
to me and wanted me to advise him to
tell the truth. She knew it all the time.
He was out that night with two other
men to rob store, and they got away
with wagon load Of goods. He was set
to watch and while thus serving was
run into the shed by the men in pursuit
of the horse thief The latter got away
and the other was captured. To give his
gang time to get away he let himself be
taken to Jail and was ultimately tried,
convicted and sentenced He had no
more to do with the horse than had
land what did you advise?'
His best interest, of course. He'd got
three years for stealing horse, but if
he owned up to the store robbery he'd
get from 10 to Is. I told him to shut
up, and the advice was so good that
got $50 for it. Yes, circumstantial evil

Not Complimentary to English Wome1

Not Complimentary to English Women.
Alphonse Daudet was not exactly
complimentary in his references to Eng
ish women, Of whom he met many in
his recent trip to perfdious Albion.
"Not only is the English woman not
handsome in features he says, "but
there is nothing seductive in her phys
ical form, and, moreover, she is an ut
ter stranger to elegance and good taste.
The English woman whom you encoun-
ter in Paris, with her f1attened down
hair and huge feet, differs in no single
particular from the English lady of
rank whom you meet in salons, on the
turf and at the play. It gave me real
thrill of pleasure on reaching Paris to
behold our pretty Parisiennes, with
their fascinating toilets. New York

In the year 1862 Mr.. J. R. Watkins first began
years he struggled along with limited means,
striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established a living,
household word in thousands of homes. Dur
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
found so lost to every principle of right and
justice as to undertake to despol him of his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong, labors. However, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
"just as good as Dr.. Wards" frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his busi-
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
worldwide right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the U. 5. Patent Office
No. 1856.

DAMAGE BY LIGHTNING.
IL increasing at Startling Rate Both at
i Home and Abroad.

IL increasing at 4 Startling Rate Both at
Homo and Abroad.
Statistics prove beyond question that
damage by lightning is increasing at a
startling rate both in America and
abroad. Scientists are divided in opin-
ion as to the cause of this phenomenon,
some holding with much plausibility
that it is due to the vast quantity OF
srtifcially produced electricity en-
ployed for lighting and other purposes,
which establishes connection with the
reservoirs of the fluid il the atmos-
phere. Others hold that the cutting
down of forests and altering the natural
balance of air currents is to blame.
Others, again, assert that the trouble
lies in the immense amount Of coal ash
and other finely divided solid matter
suspended in the air from burning coal,
which. saturated with atmospheric
moisture, serves as a good conductor.
The number of fires actually known to
have been caused by lightning has been
quadrupled in twenty years, while
deaths from this source have increased
in alarming proportion during a single
decade. The attention Of savants and
electrical engineers has been called to
the subject, and various propositions
looking to some means of averting the
danger to life and property have been
made, but thus far s.le appear to he
Of practical value.

Gle Us a Lead"

! Dean Hole, in his recent book, more
Memories tells an amusing story OF
how an old woman got the better Of her
clergyman in an argument. The vii
5lage churchyard was overcrowded, ex-
cept on it's sunless northern side, in
which the suicide was buried. One day
the vicar, while visiting a poor old wom-
an who was nigh unto death, thought
he would try to get her consent to be
buried in the roomy northern plot. He
began by assuring her that the com
mon aversion to burial in any particu-
lar portion of consecrated ground was
q silly prejudice and a foolish supersti-
ton. Then he besought her, as a per-
sonal favor to himself, and as an exam
pie to others, to permit her body to be
buried in the northern plot Of the
churchyard. The old woman thought
it all over for a few minutes, and then
answered: We'll, sir, as you seem to
think one part of the churchyard is
as good as another, and that it makes
no difference where we be put, perhaps
you'll gle as a lead. . The vicar did not
grasp the argument but he changed
the subject.
