Quotations at Wilmington Reach
Highest Point Since 1889.
WILMINGTON. y. C.. oct. 12.-Spirits
OF turpentine on the Wilmington market
TO. day was quoted at Ia cents per
gallon. which is the highest mark reached
since March 18th, 1889 when FOR few
days there were sales here az 80 IL cents.
Naval stores people are Of the opinion
that the market will hold its own or
even go higher in the course Of few
weeks, as it IS evident from light re-
ceipts for the past few weeks that the
greater portion OF the crop has been sold,
and there is little stock in the country.
Distillers have not realized such prices
as they are now receiving for any appre-
ciable period since the season OF lSSl-N2'
when during the early part Of April there
were sales as high as 90 cents.

As you are always glad to hear about
haunted houses In Ireland. writes a
correspondent. may I add a curious
story with regard to the home OF the
late Irish leader? The story Is made
more credible by the fact that there
was something In the late Charles
Stewart Parnell's majestic isolation
which reminded one strangely Of the
gloomy grandeur Of the mountains sur
rounding his home. In the square en-
trance hall there Is billiard table. and
the story Is that the ghosts Of the old
house amuse themselves In this spot
after nightfall. No matter how the
billiard balls are left upon the cloth ut
the time the household rctires. they
will be found In different position the
next morning.-M. A. +.

IN. Curio.s c..sow.ry.


Every explorer who visits the Aus
tralasian islands discovers a new kind
Of cassowary. None Of these birds
possesses any wings to speak Of. and
their bodies are clothed with dense
masses Of curious. hairlike feathers.
According TO q recent traveller. these
feathers are put to q very remarkable
use.
When a cassowary feels hungry-so
the legend runs-it wsdes out into a
stream until only It's head and neck are
above water and spreads out It's long
plumes on either side. Numbers OF I'M
sophisticated little fishes Immediately
mistake these for new kind Of water
weed and nestle confdingly up to the
motionless cassowary for shelter.
Then that artful bird suddenly
presses his feathers close against his
body, walks ashore and shakes out his
prisoners on the bank; 20 that he not
only enjoys a delightful bath. but OBJ
tains an excellent meal into the bar
gain.
