The Number thirteen.

The superstition that IS is unlucky,
which is traced back to a sacred source,
meets with as many contradictions as
combinations The fact that the horri-
BILE fire in the Paris bazaar started at
booth 10 was telegraphed all around the
world, whereas little notice is attracted
by Nansen's success with 13 men. At
one time Q was dreaded number in
England, owing to the dynastic disas-
tiers to all monarchs second of their
name from Ethelred II to George IL
Yet Napoleon 8 number through all his
life was 2, and who could wish for
better luck than came to Goody Two
Shoes or than that which results at
times from having two strings to your
bow? .n.sa5ff
Three, which since the days of Py-
thagoras has been the divine number,
shows that it is not invariably fortu-
nate. for, though the fates are three, SO
also are the furies. The graces are
three, but so also are the judges in
hades and the heads of Cerberus. Then
there are the records of three disloyal
tribes in Welsh history; there are the
three robbers in Orion's belt; there
were the three-tyrants at Athens, and
8 in mythology is as unlucky as it
is divine. just SO clearly as it has been
shown in time that the unlucky Q
can be lucky and that the pleasant
8 can be unpleasant the followers Of
the late Captain Fowler would show
that the unlucky IS can be the luckiest
number there is. So we may as well
regret his departure. while we wish
success to his associates.-Boston Jour-
mol /.

TIP MARKS ON TRUNKS.
The Luggage Signals Used by Hotel En-
plcyees Abroad.

The Luggage Signals Used by Hotel EN-
ployees Abroad.
Travellers whom every day brings
back from the continent say that this
season, more than ever, gives plentiful
example of the Freemasonry which ex-
lists among continental hotel employees.
Usually on beard the boats from Calais,
Boulogne and Ostend notes are compared
by tourists who have covered the same
ground and followed the same itinerary
The results are significant of "eye open
ing" Some such colloquy as the fol-
lowing is often overheard:
"My box and two portmanteaus were
smashed fearfully by that villain Of a
porter at the Hotel des Bains, Villavilla,
and my wife and could get no attend
ance.
"That is curious, for we were treated
by all the servants most beautifully.
May ask you question? Did you tip
the servants properly at the previous
place, Hotel de Luxe, Lucerne2' r.
mo; / confess it was an oversight,
but what has that to do with the Villa
villa hotel?''
Everything. Look at the hotel labels

All the labels in the upper left hand

Atlantic Currents.

It is an interesting fact in the records
Of scientific progress that the United
States navy has for long time past
been dropping bottles overheard in the
Atlantic ocean at the Azores, in deep
water along the coast Of Spain and from
the Madeira and the Canaries south
ward along the coast of Africa. The
fact that all these bottles tLs.t have
been recovered have been found on tho
coast of South America, on the Antil-
les, and some Of them as far west as
the mouth Of the Rio Grande, suggests
the inference that every buoyant object
which has been dropped into the ocean
during the present geological epoch by
prehistoric or historic Spaniards, Por-
tuguese or Africans has found it's way
to America and been stranded some
where between the tenth parallel south
and the thirtieth parallel north. In the
northern part of the Atlantic ocean the
currents run the other way, and the
mails have been delivered from Ameri-
ca to Europe. In the Pacific ocean the
daily mails delivered on the west coast
of America from Mount St. Elias south
ward have proceeded from about the
twentieth parallel north. in the vicini-
ty of the Malay peninsula and archipel-
ago, thence have travelled through the
China sea and the japanese sea to pick
up matters designed for the western
hemisphere.

Eureka Gas.

The name Of Eureka gas is given to a
new illuminant, expected to rival acety-
lene. This gas, as described in Lnyen-
ton and originated by M. Hector de
Favi Of Montefascone, Italy, is obtained
as follows: Lime as pure as possible is
employed as base, colophony and cal
cium carbide being added, 900 parts
of the mixture ready for use consisting
Of 900 Of quicklime, so of colophony
and 30 Of calcium carbide-and there is
said to be no liability of explosion by
mixing with air. No heating of water
and no special burner is needed. One
thousand parts of the mixture give 60
iters OF gas at pressure of 35 MILL
meters Of water, and the photometric
intensity of the flame is stated to be
92.4 candle hours, while the same
amount Ct calcium carbide employed
singly would give only Is candle hours
Thus, it is asserted. the new gas is so
per cent cheaper than acetylene, or that
at equal cost it will give half as much
more light

Triad Locomotives.

Locomotives, like human beings, have
their ailments, many of which defy the

His Authority.

Daniel Webster's oratory was not al
ways Of the ponderous order. Occasion
ally he would introduce bit of humor
very effectively, an instance Of which
The Green Bag gives as follows:
Daniel Webster when in full practice
was employed to defend the will Of
Roger Perkins Of Hopkinton- A physi-
clan made affidavit that the testator was
struck with death when he signed the
will Webster subjected his testimony
to a most thorough examination, show
ing by quoting medical authorities that
doctors disagree as to the precise mo-
ment when dying man is struck with
death, some affirming that it is at the
commencement of the disease, others at
it's climax and others still affirm that
we begin to die as soon as we are born
II should like to know said the op-
posing counsel, ''what doctor maintains
that theory

great dignity. 1.-THE moment we begin

THE NAVAL CHAPLAIN.
His On,oia1 Station and Duties In Time Of
~ s1 Battle.

His Onioial Station and Duties In Time Of
- so Battle.
The chaplain Is official station in most
ship ceremonies and in time Of battle is
at the sick bay, where lie the sick. Dis
cipline and fresh air are wonderful pre-
servatives of health, and q chaplain's
duties to the sick in times Of peace are
very light. At naval hospitals, however,
whittier are brought from the ships the
very sick and the seriously wounded, a
chaplain finds ample field for the exer-
else of that tender sympathy which
wins souls to God and for the minister
ing of the consultations Of religion. It is
also the duty Of the chaplain to assist
at naval burials. The regulations re-
quire that Christian burial be provided
for all men who die in the service. If
possible, the body is inferred with the
rites Of the church to which the deceas-
ed had belonged When this sad duty is
required at sea, the ship is hove to, the
flag displayed at half mast and the Off
GERS and men are mustered on deck to
pay their last tribute to the departed
The funeral services follow, and the
body 10 then consigned to the deep A
guard Of honor fires three volleys over
the watery grave and the bugler sounds
the last "taps''- sad, mournful notes Of
the bugle which tell Of the hour Of
sleep. If the death occur at a hospital,
an escort and guard Of honor from the
ship to which the deceased had been at
tached accompany the funeral cortege
to the grave AS the procession enters
the cemetery the bugler precedes, fol-
lowed by the chaplain This spectacle
is always impressive. It naturally sug-
gests the prayer that angels, led by the
angel guardian, may bear the soul OF
the deceased nefore the throne Of God
as friends bear the body to the grave;
that the ;asgel at the Judgment seat
may proclaim welcome, joy and glad
ness as the bugler at the grave recalls
loss, sadness and regret. -Donahoe's
