RUSSIA'S NEW FUEL FIND.
Can be Utilized for Producing Steam
Where Coal Was Used.

In appearance astatki, product Of
the oil wells of Baku, is dark, viscous
fluid, not more infammable than veg
etable oil, and less so than coal oil. AS
a steam producer it has no rival, and
the demand for this purpose is con-
stantly on the increase. Nothing else
is burnt on railways in central Asia,
the Caucasus and southern Russia, on
the Black Sea, Caspian and river
steamers, and in the innumerable in
dustrial works which are springing
into existence on the Azoy littoral.
In the railways which employ this sub
stitute for coal, locomotive tenders are
not piled high with black diamonds,

GHOSTS ABOARD SHIP.
sSuperstitious Sailors Scared Nearly
Out of Their Wits.

The arrival o@ the barkentine Hattie
G. Dixon from Frey Bentos, Uruguay,
"a voyage on which she started for
Philadelphia over six months ago,
marks the conclusion of run replete
with more unusual experiences than
generally fall to the lot OF a crew in
a lifetime. 1t was the fate of the
stanch little craft to remain for many
weeks on the unacceptable east coast
of South America during which a pc
,culiar incident occurred that will in all
probability never be forgotten by Cap
tain Southland and his crew OF eleven
men.
In July last the Hattie G. Dixon ar-
rived at the port of Frey Bentos, where
she loaded to nearly her full capacity
a cargo of bones for this port. An ac-
cident however, detained the barken-
tine and she was subsequently ordered
to Payoander under averages and to re-
main there until differences were set
tied with her owners. 1t was while on
the voyage from Frey Bentos to the
last mentioned little town when the
crew were driven to the masts by an
array of supposed demons and to re-
main there for nearly two days with
out food, trusting to good fortune to
guide their vessel on it's way.
Scarcely had the vessel weighed an
Choir when murmurings of the crew
surprised the captain that something
was wrong. To his inquiries they in
formed him that the vessel was over
run by an array of imps with green
eyes and otherwise frightful makeup
"rhe men had not been drinking .
said Captain Southland, who does not
look like a believer in ghosts himself
'and was at loss to account for the
yarn. | naturally concluded that they
wanted to leave the ship at Payoander
in preference to remaining there indef-

in body and said that they would nc
longer bunk in the forecastle, as it was
haunted. Completely disguised / told
them to lie on the deck. All the same
l was puzzled and resolved to spend a
night myself in the forecastle. l went
there at o'clock and remained there
until midnight without seeing a thing
or hearing sound out of the general

"A few minutes after midnight my
ears were assailed by the most fright.
fui chorus of shrieks which l have eveI
heard. Picking up a club lying neal
by l hurried on deck and was myself
confronted by a spectacle well calcu-
lated to paralyze anybody with fright
A dozen or more fireballs were scurry-
ing across the deck with the ut
most rapidity. They glistened with g
strange light and their appearance was
most unearthly. Meantime the crew
had taken refuge in the rigging, and on
the disappearance of the strange visi-
tants they absolutely refused to comt
down.
There they remained for two days
The steward also retained his nerve
Luckily the sea was calm, the trade

An Unpopular Hearse.

The town of Holden is the owner of a
hearse that is out of a Job. It is a good
hearse, only six years old, clean. bright
and as good as new; but, in spite of it's
apparent attractiVenesS and in spite of
the fact that it cost the town $3.50 it
mas not carried a coffin or led a funeral
procession for more than four wears.
Until i've years ago it was the most
popular and widely employed hearse in
northern Hancock County. and was
hl1ed by people in Eddington, Dedham
ana Clifton. One day the driver hav-
ing taken body to Brooklin for inter
ment, saw chance to turn an honest
uoilar by bringing back a load of salt
nsh. Then the trouble began. The fish
oldnt harm the hearse any, and the
hearse didn't hurt the fish, but when
the story got out the usefulness Of the
hearse was gone. Those who had
friends to bury sent to Bangor, ten
miles away, and paid SO or S15 for a
hearse, sooner than have the local
hearse for nothing.
The town had the hearse newly paint-
ed and vanished, hoping to remove the
prejudice, but the fish story held on.
ana the village boys threw stones at
lhe nearsehouse to show their contempt.
IN year or so the feeling against the
hearse became so strong that men de-
clared in their wills that their heirs
should be disinherited in case the testa-

Pricking the Sheriff.

An interesting innovation was intro
ouced, am told, into the ancient cere-
h1ohy known as pricking the Sheriffs,
Whlch was performed by the Queen at
windsor Castle recently with all the
customary formalities. From time i'm
memorial it has been the practice fer
the sovereign to prick the names of
certain of the eligible candidate for the
shrleValty, which are inscribed on
large sheet of parchment. the size of
winch made it very difficult to handle,
out the parchment was attached
TO two rollers SO that as soon as her
majesty, with a gold-headed pin, had
duly pricked all the names which were
visible, the roller was wound up and a
fresh list of candidates came into view
The new arrangement, it is stated
worked with perfect success. a consid-
cradle saving of time being effected in

The latest Partisan fancy noticed
upon an evening toilet just unlocked
was a Louis XIV. bodice very closely
fitted, laced at the back, cut in a deep
square in the neck, with deeply pointed
front and back There were half length
sleeves, with a frill of very beautiful
Venetian lace at the elbow with modi-
fed panier effects at each side.
Royal, Roman, iris, morning glory,

lobelia are among the varied shades in

Deep crinkles are popular and many of
the inexpensive batistes, organdies and
mulls are gauffered. Pink, yellow and
green are favored tints in all transpar-
ent goods, ranking next to white and
black in popularity.
"A very old fashion is revived in max
ing the overskirt and portions of the
bodice of one material and the under
dress and additional parts of the waist
and sleeves of another. This gives the
dressmaker an opportunity to make
some novel and pretty color combina
TONS The style is an economical one,
as short lengths can be effectively util-
lied.
The lower half of the clinging skirts
of some very pretty gowns of white
organdie are trimmed with narrow
ruff1es of muslin, lace edged or accord
ion plated, each frill alternating with
five rows of tucking a third of an inch
in width. This decoration reaches to
the knees, and the plain skirt above is
covered with an apron Overskirt simply
hemmed and made very long at the
back Some of the bodices en- suite with
this skirt are wholly plain, and with
it is worn a much ruffied Marie Antoi-

For the benefit of tall, slender women
who have reluctantly accepted the new
skirt models in their extreme effect of
scantiness on the front and sides, dt is
fortunate that the supplementary fash
ion allows the deep f1ounces slashed and
rounded at the left side, or three or four
tiers of ruffies, open on plain under
skirt, the top rounded ruffle much re-
sembling the paniey of other days.
There are likewise arranged many
fancy effects in skirt trimming, gal
looms, applique pieces, waved gimp
bands going round the skirt, and other
clever arrangements that greatly modi-
fly the drawbacks which these outlining
models possess either for women of
slender build or for those of very large
proportions.
Very thin summer textiles will again
be made up without lining, giving the
wearer an opportunity to make any

On many of the new gowns the blouse
effect still appears, but only on the
front of the waist, and with little or no
droop above the belt The back in every
instance is close and trim. The round
waist, in many very pretty styles, also
remains one of the leading models for
the summer but the bodice, with small
points slightly rounded, is likewise
fashionable, and as a rule is preferred
by those who wish to look as slender
and long waisted as possible. Some
Frenchy little girdles of silk, ribbon or
velvet in open lattice designs are set
forth this season. These are designed
to give additional length to the round
waist with which they are to be worn.
Many very attractive effects in black

different varieties of transparent ma

IN RELIGIONS REALM.
EXPRESSIONS FROM VARIOUS
RELIGIOUS NEWSPAPERS.
The Religious Thought Of the Day
as Expressed in the Sec
tartan Press.

1.-THE principle of federation in civil
and political affairs has had long trial
and is steadily advancing, says the
New York Christian Intelligencer
(Ref). 1T has been found the best
method of reconcihng conflicting inter
ests with the general weaL A principle
SO sound and workable in civil matters
would seem equally applicable in &C.
clesiastical affairs. The evangelical
churches, at least, however much they
may differ in minor matters, in views of
doctrines, methods of government, in
customs and usageS, are thoroughly one
in the great fundamentals of the Chris
tan religion and in the desire and effort
to win the world for Christ. 1t would
seem as if cooperation in an effort TO
reach those outside the churches and
extend the kingdom We're both wise and
feasible, and there are indications that
the churches are awakening. to the need
of more united efforts in these dlrec-
tlons. Organic union at present is I'M
practicable, even were it desirable. But
federation seems more practicable. IL
demands no surrender of cherished con-
VictionS or obliteration of denomina-
tions. Every church under it can retain
Its Individual peculiaritieS and the
management of its own affairs, while
evangelistic and missionary efforts are
conducted in cooperation with sister
churches. In this way much more can
be accomplished than is possible with
each working independently"
For the sake of the profession of the
ministry" says the New York ''Inde-
pendent "it is greatly to be hoped that
it will remain true that its ranks will
be filed from those who have taken the
classical course, and we presume such
will be the fact. It will be an unfortu-
nate day when Greek is given up; and
1t must be given up by those who have
not taken it in college, for it will not
usually be worth while for them to be-
gin the study in the seminary. Greek
is central for culture as well as for
Christianity, and the man of culture
needs it ever whether he be a 1evotee
of religion, or science, or philosophy, or
sociology. The study of Hebrew is a
different thing, and we very much
doubt if it ought not be an elective in
all theological seminaries. 1t is a study
for philologists, and its grammar is so
different from that of the classical ton
CUES that very few who are driven TO
the study in the junior year of the sem
mary ever learn to love it or gain any
proficiency in it; nineteen out of twenty
forget it as soon as they can. Nor is
it needed by the pastor; and, indeed
with our revised version. so admirable,
correct and honest, and the easily ac-
cessible commentaries, there is very lit
tie professional need Of a knowledge of
Hebrew. What is lost in Hebrew can
be made up to much better advantage
in history, science. sociology and Ger
man or French. Indeed. a knowledge of
either of these languages is of vastly
more value to minister than a knowl-
edge of Hebrew -
