DRANK AMMONIA
A Barkeeper Makes Serious Mistake
With a Customer

A mixture of whisky and ammonia
makes very poor drink, according to
the judgment of James Scott, who in
voluntarily tried the combination yes
terday morning. Scott walked into the
saloon at the corner of First and Broad
way and ordered glass of whisky and
some soda water to wash it down. The
barkeeper set the whisky upon the coun-
ter and then poured glass full of liquid
from a bottle which he supposed con-
tanned coda water. He made mistake.

ammonia instead. Scott drank the mix
ture and was soon attacked with violent
pains in the stomach. He was brought
to the receiving hospital and DR.. Hagan
used the stomach pump upon him with
beneficial results. He had soon recov-
cred sufficiently to go home.

oms, but two experts, upon the under
standing that they should receive Is per
cent, of any moneys recovered, essayed
the dangerous task.
Several attempts failed, but almost eX-
actly year from the vessels destruction
two divers, Briggs and May, stood on
the deck of the Catterthun, then entered
her hull, and with the help of dynamite
burst open the door of the Chubb-locked
tank, which contained the treasure. Then
it was that Diver Briggs created a rec
ord which is likely long to remain one.
Struggling in the darkness at this great
depth he attempted to remove the larg-
est of the bullion boxes, which contained
$25,000 and for more than a quarter of an
hour, under the awful pressure of nearly
thirty fathoms of water, he toiled at his
task.
Diver May then descended, completed
the work that Briggs had begun, and
soon a net containing the bulk of the
treasure was dragged into the daylight
with ringing cheers. Box after box fol-
lowed, the operations extending over sew
eral days, and having to be occas ionally
suspended when rough sea rendered div
ing impossible.
The experiences of the divers when en-
gagged upon their weird work offer a
wonderful story Nerves of iron would
seem to be absolutely necessary to sue
cessful personal exploration of the deep
darkness of the tank with an incandescent
electric lamp, though elsewhere daylight
sufficient for their labors reached the
wreck. Both noted similar experiences
below, and both remarked that the most
uncomfortable of their sensations was
that of intense and dismal loneliness. They
never used the light when it was possible
to work without it, for the rays invaria-
bly, drew about them great concourse of
fish. OF these, leather jackets and sharks
were the most numerous, but the latter
they regarded without fear, and received
no molestatiOn from them.
One monster shark had taken up its
quarters near the chartroom, and In the
course of their labors both divers were
forced to brush almost past it's tail. The
great fish, however, never troubled Itself
about them. OF the year-old wreck, the
divers report that she is fast breaking up
under the strain of the tremendous cur
rents which race around the Seal Rocks
beneath which she lies. A grim spectacle
assuredly greeted them at every descent,
for the Catterthun lies like a gray ghost
in the twilight of the sea.
Her lower masts still stand, incrusted
with shells and barnacles, her Lighthouses
are ruined and her rigging has rotted
away, the terebara has honeycombed her
woodwork; the dead still sleep within her.
only her bright cargo of gold suffered no
hurt and is now back in mans hand.
The salvage steamer Sophia Ann flew
many gay flag as she returned to Syd-
ney, and vast crowds cheered and a hun
dred steam whistles saluted her.
But on surveying the achievement YOU
forget the gold; memory retains only the
silent Chatterthun, the dim abysses of the
deep sea, the drowned in their cabins, the
living IN his monstrous garb, passing 81
lently hither and thither through the
gloom, and the glimmering eyes of the
great fish that watch him.

toned on the American table.
A typical Spanish dinner is hard to OBJ
tain in the United States, but there are
those who viii have it, and Uncle Sam
will undoubtedly see 1t in his Christmas
journey. 1t consists of a very large gold
fish beautifully fried, and garnished with
garlic and lemon. Before the fish is served
there comes a very nice almond soup,
which we would call cream of almonds.
This is a Christmas dish of Spanish cpl
cures and is to be found only on Christ
mas day.
Those from Alsace endeavor to obtain
stewed hare which is a great delicacy
with them. They often import it, and
serve it with sauerkraut and bacon. With
it they eat anise-seed bread and sweet
cakes.
Austrians in America eat roasted tur-
key, stuffed with apples; and they are
fond of vermiceli mixed with poppy seeds.
They eat little sausages, noodle and little
fried fish Their dinner is a very savOry
one, and is pleasing to the chance guest.

Washington, Dec. 17-Uncle Sam will
have busy y-gastronomicalIy speak
ing-on Christmas, for he must partake
Of fifteen national feasts before the day
IS done. Uncle Sans children come from
Russia. Germany. Hungary. Alsace, Den
mark, Portugal, Spain, Italy Switzerland
and England, and each lot of citizens nave
their own dishes, which they carefully pre-
pare and plenufully eat on Christmas day.
1t is said that the Chinese, japanese,
Buddhists nd Turks in America also OBJ
serve Christmas. but for them there are
special dishes that they fancy. Their feast
cannot be a strictly national one, as in
their country the Christ is not our Christ
OF Christmas day.
Uncle Sans Russians have a dinner
which is a great treat TO all who are for
tunate enough to get taste Of it. 1t is
quite different from the American dinner,
yet il taIlies in some respects to our feast
it begins in the morning and lasts all
day, and on the side table there are always
dishes to be found. One of these is an
enormous punch bowl filled with a soup
made of a mixture of meat bullion, fer
mented juice of beet root, sour cream and
boiled cabbage. 1t stands ever ready for
visitors who come for Christmas cheer.
The Russian Christmas dinner consists
of roasted pig, which is raised for that
day as we raise the goose ana the turkey
Ut is stuffed with kasche (bonled buck
wheat mixed with chopped liver heart
and giblets. The pig, after roasting.
weighs only nine pounds. and is sweeter
and tenderer than any Christmas turkey.
with it Uncle Sam viii eat paca, which
is a mixture of pot cheese, cream, raisins,
butter and sugar, which have been mix
ed together and allowed to stand twenty
four hours. He will also eat koulische,
which is a cake plentifully filled with
saisins And then on a side dish viii
stand colored eggs, corresponding to our
Easter eggs, corresponding to our Easter
eggs, which every good Russian eats with
salt that has been purified by roasting. All
this is washed down with plentiful hba-
tons of koumiss; and people who wish
TO be very lavish serve also sausage and
roasted veal, with black bread for those
who do not care for the raisin cake.
France has so many bountifuI dishes
that It is difficult to pick out its typical
Christmas dinner. BY carefully canvass
ing the French quarters of the United
States it has been found that the dish
which viii be most generally eaten at the
French table is a liver pudding, well
truff1ed and nicely seasoned with garlic.

HOW DEATH DUTIES ARE EvADED.
By Dukes and MiIlionaires in En-
EIand-the Treasure Alarmed.
London letter in New York Sun.

London letter in New York Sun
BY a simple ruse the Duke of Beaufort
has saved to his family and the govern
ment has lost 100000 in death duties. Be
ing 70 years old and knowing that he
couldn't live long, he has simply trans
ferred all his property to his son, the Mar
auis of Worcester. He will not even own
the bed on which he dies and is at present
poorer than his coachman. Legally, his
son could turn him out of doors and send
him to the aims house.
The treasury department is alarmed,
fearing that this marks the inauguration
of a custom among old nOblemen. Sir VIII
liam Harcourt. the former chancellor of the
exchequer is the author Of the death du-
ties bill which was passed during his adj
minIStration 1--WE are all socialists now
is one of his sayings. His plan of bringing
about monetary, if not social, equality is
to tax the rich more and more and the
poor less and less. The very thing which
has happened in the case of the Duke of
Beaufort was made an argument in OPP
position to his bin, in connection with the
argument that the rich man who did not
pass his property into the hands of some
one else before his death would have a son
equal to making a false statement.
Sir william replied that he believed that
u
to hang on to the emoluments as well as
the honor of their position to the last mo-
ment, and that he was not so great a Gym
ic as 10 believe that honesty and loyalty
to the nation were restricted solely to the
poor. And, so saying, he hammered his bill
through the Commons along with an in
/ creased income tax. The House Of Lords
accepted It after some grumbling.
For a time Sir William, il seemed. was
proved right Every one was surprised to
find that 81 100000 estates did not turn out
to be 500, coo estates when registered at
the treasury office. The harvest was even
greater than the author of the bill had ex-
pectod. The British government year be-
/ fore last last year and this year had a sur
/ plus. -Consols went up and there was mon
/ ey to spare for increasing the navy. Indis-
! putably, the death duties bill had come to
/ stay.

! lows close on that of Barney Barnato.
