SIGHTING ATLANTIC LINERS.
How the Zig Steamers Are Distinguished
by the Fire Island Outlook.

Six hours before an Atlantic liner is
made fast To her mornings the news that
she has passed Fire island is announced in
New York. Fire island, the first land
sighted by most ocean liners, lies about
40 miles from Castle Garden
The observatory is 40 feet high and
stands nearly 200 feet from the beach. On
a small table in the top room is "a telegraph
wire connected directly with the Western
Union Office in New York city.
The superintendent identifies the steam
ers by their outlines and by other details
that his experience suggests. The number
of times that ne has been able TO read their
names may be counted on one hand, and
SO exclusively has his acquaintance of
ships been made at long range that he has
expressed doubts whether he would be a bic
to recognize them at close quarters.
At night all steamers send up signal
when opposite Fire island. The Inman
signal is red and two blue lights, fol-
lowed by "a rocket showing blue and red
stars. The CunardCrs burn two roman
candles, throwing six blue balls These
signals merely indicate the line to which
the vessels belong TO distinguish the
particular steamer, therefore, the side and
stern lights need to be carefully observed.
by daytime coored flags are used, but
as colors cannot be detected beyond few
miles they are not of much value. The
superintendent, therefore, depends almost
entirely on the outline of the vessel the
position of the funnel cabins, lifeboats,
smoke, etc, and also upon the course of
the vessel.
Stationed at one portfolio of the look
out room there Is an observer who watches
for steamers of the White Star line from
another the Cunard, and so on. The
steamers of one line burn soft kind of
coal, and the smoke is so peculiar that
their approach is known at the island long
before their hulks appear upon the horizon.

TEA DRINKING IN NEW YORK.
Influence of the Hebrew Immigrants From
Russia shown on the East Side.

Although New York has large popula-
ton of people. " no make tea their special
drink, tea is not a distinctive speciality OF
restaurants. Tea is staple article In
| few Chinese restaurants, and Russian
tea. 3 cents" is the announcement in
front of a Hungarian restaurant on the
east side. GroceTs on the east side below
the German quarter have begun To deal In
Russian or Caravan tea, rs 10 is some
times called, in answer TO the demand OF
the Russian-Hebrew population of the
lower east size, hut the samOyar is almost
unknown in public restaurants and the
tea drinking habit IS not seen in public
places.
Tea drinking is not usual in the clubs
and the fashion of serving tea mt afternoon
receptions is rather an excuse and rally
ing LDint than a compliance with taste.
Every well brought up English, Irish or
Scotch maidseryant that comes 10 this
country is tea drinker, and n critical tea
drinker inclined 10 resent "A cheap tea fur
nished by the mistress of the house. In
many households tea is consumed almost
exclusively by the servants. Tea drinking
after European fashions has never become
really popular ia this country and is not
usual save in fashionable and semifashion
able circles. The Chinese habit of drink
ing tea without sugar, milk or lemon
Juice has little or no vogue in New York.
Tea is hardly 50 much used even as cocoa
chocolate and their related products. There
is considerable Spanish-American popu
lation in New York drinking coffee and
various forms of chocolate, but little tea
With great many fashionable women tea
is a plaything, drink TO be served be-
cause il furnishes an excuse for displaying
dainty apparatus
Now that largo body of Russians have
become domesticated in the city, tea drink
ing is probably on the increase, and as
many of these Russians belong to race
with peculiar genius for money making,
the samovar and the teacup are likely to
become more conspicuous in public res
taurants. Tea is already more usual
drink in restaurants on the east side than
on the west, as both coffee and chocolate
are better in east side restaurants than in
those of corresponding grades on the west
side
The tradition of good coffee and rich
chocolate or cocoa is strong with the Ger
man speaking peoples of the east side, and
the native American population of the city
has much TO learn of these people touching
the proper quality of notwithstanding ia
BILE drinks. The Russians that have come
TO town are likely TO impart To tho native
Americans discriminating taste in tea.
Although New York has for years had
cosmopolitan population, the only foreign
cooking that has become popular is the
French, and that in its worst guise, tho
table d'hote.--New York Sun.

Elephants as Heaters.

BY 10 o'clock our howdah elephants are
marshaled before the tents, and we mount
and stow away our paraphernalia of guns,
rifles, ammunition, water skin, tea bottle,
book, perhaps; II gigantic double lined
umbrella TO be held over us by the attend
ant in the back seat, and native blanket,
folded as cushion now, but to be unfold
cd and thrown around us should the wild
bees attack. That is the simple kit of
him who cares not for Injuries Half n
mile from our camp we enter IA stretch of
grass in which it would be hopeless to
look for tigers, and our 40 elephants are
ranged in line in order to beat for game
of u less ambitious kind The order to
advance is given, and / sound on dog
whistle the signal of general shooting"
The mahouts, thoroughly alive to the fact
that tigers are not likely To present them
selves, keep their beasts in rank SO regular
that no likely patch of cover shall be
passed unbeaten, and we are off
Now from one howdah, now from an
other, anon from two or three howdahs
simultaneously, guns and rifles are fired
as birds and beasts rise or break before u.s.
Now falls black partridge, now peacock

TIE MANNED VETERAN.
Singular Story of How He Lost His Index
Finger.

An old sokiier who bears the scars Of
several wounds received in the late un-
pleasantnesS was speaking to the writer
about odd incidents Of the war, and, among
other things, said:
Courage is so different in difforont peo-
pie that | have been often surprised to see
exhibitions of bravery in unlocked for
quarters There is a man who used 60
live in Marion, o., who has the index fin
ger OF his right hand missing and, il ask
ca the manner of its loss will simply say
that he lost il In the civil war.
"The story of the affair is peculiar,
though | am told that there are instances
of the same nature that have occurred.
He was married few months when the
call for volunteers was issued, and no
yearncd 10 respond 10 his country's invi-
tation His wife put her foot down at
once and said that he should not 20. Two
months passed, and as the stories came
from the front of the roaring cannon and
of blood being shed William--for that was
his name--Vowcd that he would 60 TO the
scene of battle. One night his wife saw
him get up I'm his sleep, and, putting him
self i'm "a heroic attitude, extend his hand
as though it clutched sword and cry,
Forward This preyed on her mind so
that the night afterward she asked him If
he fully intended 10 join the army. He
replied emphatically that he did.
"That night, when William slept, she
arose, and, with stealthy step and deter
mined look, took n Ratchet from under
the bed and came to the side of her sleep
ing husband. She noted the calmness of
his countenance and bent and kissed his
forehead as tear coursed down her cheek.
Then she took the index finger of his right
hand, and, separating it from the Others,
laid il upon the side rail and brought the
Ratchet down with such force as to sever
the digit. William awoke, and what he
said is not recorded, but he was made of
sterner stuff than his better half thought.
When the smoke of battle rolled upon the
field of Bull Run, and hearts beat wildly
in the first great encounter, the martial
sound of Williams drum urged on TO glory
many an Ohio man. He could not handle
a musket, but he went to war. "-Colum-

The Centennial Mine.

When in the rock house at No. 6 shaft
On Tuesday afternoon some rock was
dumped and noticing considerable cop
per in it asked one OF the men what part
Of the mine il came from and was told
from the 9Th level We said that could
not be so az the rich chute OF copper in
that level had been gone through and
was told by the man in question he did
not know anything about the rich chute
or it having been gone through, but he did
know the rock we were looking at had
come from the 4th level This naturally
raised our curiosity and upon enquiry
ascerteined that az the bottom of the
No. shaft was in such good ground
when it was met with Unexpectedly Capt
Chynoweth though he would extend the
Drift at the 4th level and in doing so had
come across a run OF coppery ground
and from which the piece we saw in the
rock house came. This only goes to
show that the unexpected often happens
and owners OF lands through which the
Calumet lode runs scarcely do themselves
Justice unless they explore for il accord
ing TO their means.
The writer has always believed that
copper rock was found in the pits or
rather one OF them sunk at the Kearsarge
some time ago and has two reasons for
believing 40. One is that a person was
present when Capt. Daniels arrived at
one of the pits for the purpose OF having
a blast made, but seeing a stranger there
a delay occurred the stranger seeing his
absence was preferable to bis company
withdrew into the bush, it was bush
then, and waited until the blast had gone
off and Capt. Daniels from the ground.
Upon his return to the pit he was sur
prised TO find that much of the rock from
the blast had been carried off as we'll az
some pieces OF rock which had ee given
him by one OF the men working 10 the
pit whom be knew before Capt. Daniels
arrival.

A Sermon For Children,

There Is an up town west side church,
said churchgoer, Gin which charming
custom prevails-the giving at morning
services of five minutes sermon to chill
dren. This comes just before the regular
sermon. 1t is plain, straightforward,
simple little sermon, without notes. Just
IA five minutes talk, but it is nevertheless
evidently well considered 1t is quite
within the children's apprehension, but
yet 1t appeals clearly to their intelligence.
1t turns perhaps upon some phase of their
daily life, and 1t may contain by way of
illustration some incident or other matter
of interest. 1t is, in fact, interesting
throughout, and it is listened to with
manifest interest by the entire congrega-
ton, adults as well as children. When the
little sermon is over, there is u brief pause,
giving opportunity for children to leave
the church, which greater or less num-
Der do, the organist touching the organ
keys meanwhile. Then the regular service
proceeds. New York Sun.

The second reason is that when visit
ing the pits the writer had at se'erai
times in order TO help the men pull no
stumps, etc, thrown his avoirdupois
onto the rope and consequently had
struck I'D an acquaintance with one OF
the men who one day, apparently in re
turn for this help, in ans Ser 70 qufs
ton walked 10 the former pit. the one
alluded TO above, and remarking that
the bosses thought themselyessmait and
believed they had removed all the rock,
but they were mistaken, be then crept
into bower where the men eat their
MONDAY meal and brought out piece
OF rock he Willy charged with very fine
copper and which he gave the writer
stating IL bad come out OF the pit, That
piece OF copper cost the writer good
many dollars as he was afraid TO let his
stock go in case the management should
decide TO show up what he believed was
a good End, notwithstanding the fact
that Capt Daniels bad the pit in Ques-
ton filled up with water. Time alone
will show whether there is any ground
for our belief, if there is it will be good for
the Centennial as the pits on the kear-
sarge were sunk not very far from the
north line OF the Centennial property.

a Right Handed Cat.

A curious story is told of IA Fright hand
ed" cat The individual who is response
BILE for these facts tells us that "he some
times laps milk like other cats and some
times sits close up to the pan and dips his
paw in the milk, and carrying it to his
mouth ticks the drops of milk off.
Noticing that he always used his right
paw, tried to get him to use the left one,
first by setting the pan of milk on his left
side, and afterward by dipping his left foot
in the milk, SO rs to get him started in
the use of the left.
He would shake the milk off his left
foot and go on using the right one, and
we have never, by any oxpedient, been able
to get him to use the left paw. London
