transferring cargo from the steam
chip "Leona" TO sister ship clam
pasas" which sails tomorrow In place
OF the "Lsona." The surviving steer
age passengers win be forwarded to

the uDtortunates had no friends in this
country, they arriving here only week
ago. Investigation into the cause of
the FIRE Is being conducted by the u.

they were abandoned to their fate, no

Captain Wilder, however, says that
every man did his duty, and he denies
any act Of cowardice.

Valuable Almanac.

The most valuable almanac ever
made Is that now In the British Mu-
scum, which Is priceless. 1t Is believed
to be at least 5000 years old. The days
are written In red Ink ON papyrus, in
columns, and under each is a figure,
followed by three characters signlfy.ng
the probable state Of the weather for
that day. The most elaborate almanac
in the world is that issued by the Chi
nese Government in twelve thick vol
umes, which gives full information as
to lucky times and places for perform
ing the acts Of everyday life, which is
considered an essential OF success by
every good Chinaman. The Nautical
Almanac costs the British nation e.
042 year. At its Office, No 3 vcru-
lam buildings, Gray's Inn, London, the
superintendent, A. NJ. w. Downing,
doctor Of science and fellow of the
Royal Society, receives 5000. Edward
Roberts, fellow Of the Royal Astronom-
zeal and Statistical societies, the chief
assistant, receives f450 and there are
eleven other assistants, several OF
whom are graduates Of universities OF
members Of learned societies, who are
paid from f100 to $500 each. The most
curious calendar at present In use Is
that of the natives of Central America
where the months are only twenty
| days, and these are named after ani
mails. Among most modern European
ones the almanac de Gotha" has beer
the longest in continuous circulation
upward of 1875 years.-Boston Trans

Early Writers on Smoking.

The fact has been discovered that
Shakespeare never mentions smoking or
makes the slightest allusion to the
habit. This is the more curious. as
most of his contemporaries, Ben JON
son, Decker and others, discuss the
then new fashion at length, and the
humorist and satirist of the time lost
no opportunity Of deriding and max
ing game Of the votaries of the weed.
The tobacco merchant was an import
ant parsonage In the time Of James |.
The Elizabethan pipes were 80 small
that when they are dug up In Ireland
the poor call them fairy pipes" King
James himself was one Of the most
virulent opponents of the habit, and In
his ludicrous "Counterblasts' calls 1t
vile and shrinking custom, borrowed
from the beastly, slayish Indians
poor, wild. barbarous men-brought
over from America and not introduced
by any worthy or virtuous or great per-
sonage." He argues that tobacco is
not dry and hot; that Its smoke is
humid, like all other smoke, and Is
therefore bad for the brain, which Is
naturally wet and cold. He denies
that smoking purges the head or stom
ach, and declares that many have
smoked themselves to death.-Medica
