sPREEs CHURCH FESTIVAL.
Contracted for by Subscription in tho
Rhineland village of Oberringelheim.

Contracted for by Subscription in tho
Rhineland village of Oberringelheim.
1t is a custom of the country in Ger
many to get drunk at the conservation
of new church. This custom has
been regarded as unlovely and I'M
Christian by many influential Germans
of the new school, most notably by En-
peror William H., but still it remains
unreformed, and the comic weeklies do
not tire of depicting the scenes, in and
out of the police court, that follow the
conservation sprees and fights. Some
three weeks ago the festival of new
church was celebrated in Oberringel-
helm, in the Rhine country. In antici-
patton of the usual trade in eXhilarat-
ing liquors a saloonkecper who does
business near the sacred edifice adver-
tised thus in the Rhineland Observer:
Jacob Muller herewith pledges him
self for a subscription price of three
marks (75 cents) to serve every one
Of his guests with as much wine as he
can drink on the occasion of the church
conservation.
Inviting my friends and patrons to
visit me in response to this request, 1
remain, respectfully yours,
Jacob Muller"
Within an hour after the newspapers
containing this advertisement ap-
peared, 80 citizens of little 0berringel-
helm bought subscription tickets from
Muller. At the current price of or
binary loose wine in the Rhine country,
each of the 80 and their colleagues in
this speculation had to drink 10 large
glassfuls before he could begin to bene-
fit by the subscription tariff. The
final results of the speculation cannot
be known until the police court reports
of the Oberringelheim district arrive.

tinent.

DEEP-SEA TONNAGE SCARCE.
Conditions Prevailing in New York That
Compel Use of Large Schooners.


The great scarcity of deep-sea ton
mage &as brought about remarkable
condition of affairs in the shipping
trade in New York. Freight brokers
have experienced great difficulty in
finding ships to charter for their Gus
toners. This has compelled them to
turn to the owners of large schooners
to help them out. 1t is several years
since schooners have been chartered for
deep-sea voyages, the last occasion be
ing when there was a big boom in the
River Plate lumber business. Several
American schooners were then trans
ferred from the coastwise trade to the
plate lumber trade.
Several four-masted schooners have
been chartered for deep-sea voyages.
One of the largest has been chartered
20 load on the berth at Baltimore with
grain and general cargo for Antwerp.
Some Mediterranean charters have
also been made of four-masted schoon-

WHERE NOAH GOT HIS PITCH.
Natural Spring which Enabled Him to
Mako the Ark Water Tight.

An English explorer has recently
reached Hit, in Syria, the locality in
which Noah dwelt. Here he found a
remarkable group of bitumen springs.
says the New York Journal.
From these springs, he says, it is
probable that Noah obtained his supply
of material to pitch it within and with

canic origin, spring of warm water
bubbles up, and with the water comes

ty; and the Arabs gather it by simply
scraping it off the surface of the water
with their bare hands and pressing it
into panniers carried by patient little
donkeys, who then struggle up the
rocky sides of the basin and take the
material off TO the bodybuilding yards,
where it is used for covering the boats
and gouphas, after undergoing a GER
tain refining process.
The bitumen is continually rising,
but owing to the formation of the basin
into which it rises with the stream
very little of it can escape, and it re-
mains floating on the surface of the wa
ter till taken off by the Arabs. The wa.
ter itself tastes slightly of sulphur, is

He Did Not Take Revenge for an In

Louis MI. was of the opinion that it
was unworthy of the king of France to
revenge himself for the insults he
suffered as prince royal. Emperor Will
liam of Germany is of like opinion, says
the New York Times
Baron de Krosik, who has just been
appointed a grand cross of the Red
Eagle order, was formerly colonel of the
hussar regiment in which the emperor
as youth first did military service. One
night at mess, toward the close of a
banquet at which the young prince,
then a mere captain, had invited his
friend, Archduke Rudolph, the CONVEX
sation turned to the projected reforms
in the cavalry.
William declared himself partisan
of these reforms and defended his opin-
ion with so much impetuosity that Col,
Won Krosik, very much excited, sudden
ly interrupted him. at is an absurd,

When his former subordinate as.

fully expected to see his name put on
the retired list. But'the Emperor ap,
pointed him general, gave him the i'm.

Cavalry, of Hanover, and has ever
treated him with the greatest respect.

WIVES FOR MINERS.
Canadian Girls Respond to Gail
Of Disconsolate Bachelors.
The Plan Is to Let Them Select Their
own Husbands-In Event of Two
Choosing the Same Man They
Must Draw Lots.

The new mining camps on Trail anu
Boundary creeks in British Columbia
are soon to receive a delegation of
young women from Canada, and each
one will, it is expected, become a mar
ried woman almost as soon as she be-
comes resident of the camp. The
miners have begun cleaning up around
their cabins, and one or two of the mer
have even gone so far as to send to
Tacoma, Wash, for white shirts.
During the past two years the camps
have grown at a remarkable rate, and
now the number of men greatly exceeds
the number of women. The miners are
nearly all big, handsome fellows, MAX
ing good money, and they long for all
the comforts of home" The women
already on the ground are about in the
proportion of one to ten, and the hus-
band of each is the envy of all the I'M
married men.
A short time ago the unmarried men
held meeting and after long debate
decided that the proper thing to do was
to send away for wives. One man OBJ
jected to importing any women, but
he was soon disposed of by the indig-
nant bachelors, who cared not whence
the women came, so long as they only
came. About this time j. G. Devlin
started for Toronto to sell some mining
property, and he was made the ennis
sary of the lovelorn miners.
Mr.. Devlin was provided with creder-
tials showing hewas fully empowered to
act for the miners in the matter of wife
selecting, and he further carried docu-
ments signed by the officials of each
camp stating the men wanting wives
were all they claimed to be. Now comes
the news that Mr.. Devlin has succeeded
in finding number of young women
who sre. willing to share the miners
lives-and fortunes-and that they will
start at once.
All their expenses will be paid by the
general committee of the bachelors.
and each woman will be allowed to Sc
lect the man she wants for husband
In case two or more of the women de-
eide on the same man, they will be re-
quired to draw lots for him. The we'd
dings will be performed on the same
day in large hall now being erected
for the purpose, ten or more couples
being joined at the same time with but
one wedding service.

Dean Swift on AstroIogy.

Dean Swift predicted the death, upon
a particular date, of Partridge, the chief
of the astrological almanac makers, and
followed 1t with the announcement of
his demise on that very date. Poor
Partridge protested in vain that he was
still alive, for the brilliant author of
"Gulliver's Travels" assured him by the
logic of his own pretended science that
he must actually have ceased to exist.

How We Go to Sleep.

A scientist says that our senses do not
fall asleep Simultaneously, but become
insensible one after another. Many
dreams are explainable upon this hy-
pothesis. The eyelids take the lead and
obscure sight; next follows the sense of
taste; then smelling, hearing, and
touch, the last named being the lightest
sleeper and most easily aroused.

It saw the infants it decided to seize
one. The women were attracted by the
noise of the wings and saw the bird
when it was within few feet of them.
Getting near each other, the women
yelled and threw clods of earth and

treated, flying the while in circles and
making darts repeatedly at them. The
women continued their yelling and
throwing till the bird finally flew away,
