A Sailors superstitious Prediction Of Dis
aster Followed by His Own Death.
Speaking of sailors superstitions.
remarked the veteran lighthouse keeper
Josh Reeves of Sea Isle City, reminds
me of an incident that happened half a
century ago off the Five Fathom Bank
lightship, in which sailors prediction,
based ON an omen, resulted fatally to
the prophet himself.
"a bright winter morning had caused
the crew of the lightship to row short
distance away in a small boat in search
of Goldfish, which are very abundant off
the capes in winter time. A few hours
fishing resulted in goodly catch and a
return was made to the lightship. The
fish were cleaned and the refuse thrown
overheard, but calm sea, with not a
breath of air to disturb it, caused the
refuse to drift in circle around the
ship. Toward noon large flock OF geese
came in sight and settled under the
lightship's very bows and commenced
| to feed. The waterfowl became very
tame and swan chattering and kissing
close to the ships sides.
"Josh Crowell, grizzled old mem
Der Of the crew, shook his head and pre-
| dicted death to some one Oh board with
| in "a hours. He said that whenevel
geese became so tame as to feed arount
a vessels bow or stern, it was an un
failing omen of impending death OIL
board. Crowell's companions laughed
at his fear, but he told them to bid
their time.
"Toward noon strong gale came on
of the nor east and kicked up heav,
sea. Crowell was on the forward or boN
watch.
"Many of the crew were in the mai
cabin below enjoying social game c
euchre, checkers or dominos, whe
suddenly they heard the sound of a chat
running rapidly through the starboar
bow scuppers. We rushed on deck

had given way. The sight witnesse
will never be forgotten. Crowell ha

make his fortune with his brush. Or
ders for pictures were not forthcoming,
however, and the young painter found
himself reduced to dining on sunset ef'
fects. In despair he wrote to tho presi-
dent of the academy at his private ad-
dress in Holland Park, stating his case
and forwarding at the Same time some
specimens of his work. Within Few
days he received an answer, asking him
to call at Sir Frederick's house. The
president Of the academy received him
kindly, advised him to study more and
gave him two letters Of introduction

The vicar Of parish not many miles
from we'll known fashionable town

and in the course of his remarks he re-

The Lady and the Cyclist.

A lady protected herself against the
rushing advance Of cyclist in Bromp-
ton road, London, in original and COM
mendable fashion. The Telegraph Of
that city describes how the cyclist was
racing along at his best pace and the
lady was crossing the roadway. Instead
of making q detour to avoid her, the
man simply rang his bell and rushed on
without abatement of speed, considering
that he had thus done his duty to socl-
etv. Pedestrians on the footpaths and
busmen on their perches saw that a
collision was inevitable. So did the
lady. who braced herself for the ordeal
and resolved on offensive tactics. CIV

they had suffered no damage. she I'M

are decided that their church building err
ected in 1856 has outlived it's usefulness

take its place. Father Rezek, realizing
the difficulty his people will have in nm
dertakiDg such an enterprise, is resolved
to go slow aud not get ahead in building
OF the money now in sight. Theref IRE,
he intends first to raise enough money to
build the baseu ent Of heproposed build

Crooked Raiiroading.

An engineer who formerly ran on the
DEBORAH division, known among the
railroad boys as the pea vine" ON ac-
count of its many curves, tells OF a re-
markable occurrence that happened near
Brainard. where the railroad Is said TO
be as crooked as anything to be found Ia
the state. A freight train was being fol-
lowed close by tho passenger, both being
off time ON account Of washout. A
headlight was placed ON the rear OF the
caboose as a warning to the passenger
train which followed. Suddenly the
train came to halt. The engine was
reversed, and the engineer and fireman
were seen to jump. The train was on :
part of the road that was so crooked
that the engine had turned around, and
seeing the headlight on the rear end OF
the caboose they thought they were 60
ing to have head end collision. MA
