GRAPHING FOR A CABLE.
IL Was Severed by "A swordhsh and
ReeoTered with Much
Difficulty.

To find the broken ends of a North
Atlantic cable is by no means an easy
matter, according TO the reports
brought to this city by the British
steamship Manhattan, from London,
and the Red Star steamship Switzerland,
from Antwerp. Both vessels recently
spoke the cable steamship Minia during
her long search for the broken ends.
The Minia has been able 10 locate the
break, although its approximate posi-
tion was known before she started on
her cruise.
The Switzerland sighted the Nina on
June "a in latitude 42.11, longitude
51.4s, and the Manhattan on May IS in
latitude 4S.04, longitude $3.50.
The electricians on tlle Nina report
ed to the Manhattan that the break was
over $4,000 feet, OF about three miles
below the surface of the sea and that
they had not yet been able to pick NJ
the broken ends. The point at which
the cable parted was in midoccan and
at one of the deepest spots in the At
lantic. The officers of the Nina
claimed that it was the greatest depth
at which the drags had ever been put
overheard from any vessel TO grapple
the ends of lost cable.
The break in the cable, which crosses
from New York to Kinsale, ireland, oc-
CURED last winter and il has been of no
use since that time. 1t was first
thought that the wreck of a sunken yes
sci had dragged downward over the
cable, causing it TO snap apart, but an
expert on deep-sea cables the other day
stated that il was more than likely thu
work of swordfsh.
Before the Nina started on her
cruise two months ago the location Of
the break was approximately discov-
cred by the resistance OF the electrical
current on the dip of the needle of
galvanometer. To pick up these broken
ends and splice them together is a diff
cult if not an impossible undertaking.
and it may yet be necessary to 90 back
70 shOaler water and run out new cable.

BASEBALL IN THE SNOW.
Whnlers In the Far North Amuse
Themselves by an Occasional
Game on the Ice.

The nine months that the whalemen
were compelled to lie in idleness, while
not enliyened by social gayeties, were
far from monOtonOus. With lumber
brought up from san Francisco there
had been built on shore commodious
oEe-room house, whose most conspicu-
Gus articles of furniture were a big
stove, that roared day and night, bill
lard table, and a number of benches
and chairs. This was the clubroom Of
the GO or 10 officers of the fleet, and here
they congregated to play billiards and
whist, or sit about through the long
arctic evenings, while the wind hOwled
outside, smoking and spinning yarns OF
many seas, or Of boyhOOd days at New
Bedford, New London and Martha's
Vineyard. There were veterans who had
wlrIled on every ocean and had been in
nearly every port on the globe; men
who recollected well the raid of the
cruiser Shenandoah, when nearly a
score Of ships were crushed in the ice
foe. The sailors and firemen of the
fleet did not have the privilege Of this
H0ASCN hIL N0AtNnANAA ADNAAASNAhN1 Win
games and amusements Of their own.
They had an orchestra that played long
and vociferOusly, and there was an anna
tour dramatic troupe that gave enter
tainments during the winter. But it
was on the great national game of base
ball that officers and men most de-
pended TO break the tedium of their i'm
prisoument and furnish the necessary
outdoor exercise.
All the whalemen were dressed in
the Eskimo fur costume, only the face
being exposed, and on their hands wore
heavy fur mittens. These clumsy nit
tens. together with the fact that one
was apt TO fall on the ice unless he gave
q large part of his attention to kee 'ng
his feet underneath him, Inade
good catching practically impossible.
"MuiTs" were the rule, and the man
who caught and held the ball received
an ovation, not only from the hundreds
of Eskimos who were always crowded
about the rope. No one was apt 10 re-
peat the experiment of catching with
bare hands. One of the center helders
was = corpulcnt Orkney Islander, whose
fIvorite method of stopping a hot
grounder was to lie down in front of
il. The Eskimos considered him the star
player of the fleet. Sliding was the only
thing done TO perfection, the ice offer
ing excellent facilities for distinction
in that lire, and there was always a wild
cheer VIXEN a runner getting too much
headway Knocked the basemau of his
feet and both came down together. The
scores were ridiculously large, seldom
less than 80 on side, and sometimes
hit meant home -,,Ii.-IIarpcr's Round

The flies Of Egypt deserve a tribute TO
their peculiar qualities. A plague of
American flies would be a luxury COM
pared TO the visit Of one fly from
Egypt. For untold centuries they have
been in the habit of crawling over
thick-skinned faces and bodies and not
being dislodged. They can stay all day
il they like. Consequently, if they see
an American eye, and they light on it,
not content with that, they try to
crawl in. You attempt TO brush them
off, but they only move around TO the
other side, until you are mad with
nervousness from their sticky feet.
If they find out your ear they crawl in
md walk around. You cannot discour-
age them. They craze you with their
infuriating persistence. If had been
the Egyptians the Israelites would
have been escorted out of the country
in state at the arrival of the first fly

AMEND THE TREATY.

The esteemed Tahlequah Senti-
mel advocates the rehabilitation of
the agreement made by the Chero-
kee commissioners at Muskogee
last winter with the Dawes COM
mission, and ratified at the polls
by the voters of the Cherokee ma
ton. The Chieftain favored the
ratification of that treaty, and per-
haps for much the same reasons
that many Cherokees voted for it,
namely, that it meant final set
tlement of the unsettled and tan
gled affairs of the Cherokee nation.
There are many things in that
agreement that are really distaste-
ful TO the masses of Cherokee
citizens, and that ought in all fair
ness to be eliminated. There are
extraneous matters lugged in by the
political hucksters who unfortu-
nately were given a place on the
commission appointed b. Chief
Mayes, who can always be depend
ed on to take care of his political
fayorites, and whose sympathies
have been with some of the most
dangerous characters Of the Chero-
kee nation. The treaty should
not be again revivedin its entirety,
but should be amended so as to
deal more justly with the common
Indian whose birthrightis at stake.
1t would be the height of folly
to send that document to congress
again after its rejection last winter.
The Indian committee rejected it
for cause and pointed out its weak
nesses. and the duty of the ma
tional council is plain; it should
amend it as suggested before re-
submitting it.

COURTSHIP IN GERMANY.
Young Affinnced Couples Are Always
ChaperOned When They Go
from Home.

a Chicago girl visiting in Germany
writes that lovers in the fatherland
have n hard time of it courting. She
SAYS that among conservative people
the affianced couple are scarcely al
lowed TO be alone, chaperon being pro-
vided whenever the young people 60
out or are together. When a girl has
arrived at what is considered mar
riageable age in Germany her parents
invite young men TO the house. Two
or three are invited at the same time,
so that the attention may not seem
too pointed. But no young man is
ever invited to the house until after
he has called at least once and thus
signified his wish TO have social inter
course with the family. If he calls
several times in TOO close succession ii
it taken for granted that he has sin
tentions," and he may be questioned
concerning them. Generally an en-
gagemeEt is made public as soon as
the arrangements can be made. This
is done bv means of the newspapers
and formal announcements on cards.
The man supplies a plain gold Land
ring for each. This is worn during the
engagement on the ring finger of the
left hand. From this time the con-
tracing parties are bride and bride
groom. y betrothal may last several
years until the bridegroom can become
settled I'm life, but in most cases the
marriage soon takes place. Just be-
fore the marriage the banns are pub
lished In the church. either cR two
successive sundays or, if the time be
short, twice on the same day. In the
latter case, notice is posted in pub
lie place notifying ail concerned of the
wish Of the couple TO marry-Chicago

SAM RICKETTS, WASN'T IN.
And His AmiabIe Wife Gave Good
Reason Why He WOuIdn't

Il ran a newspaper once at the coun-
ty seat of bacllwOods Pennsylvania
county" said Col. Jim Ball, of Potter
county, 'aEd one day 1 started out
among my patrons in the outlying
townships on a collecting tour. In the
course of the day l came to clearing to
which l had been directed as the DOM
icile of one Samuel Ricketts,, to whom L
was anxious to present my autograph at
the bottom of a 'ceipt for S2.25. I
knocked at the door of the Ricketts,
residence, and by and by a sharp-faced
woman, with snappy eyes and her
| sleeves rolled above her elbows, re-
/ spoaded to the knock.
Does Mr.. Ricketts, live here ." Iasked.
Sam Ricketts?' snapped the wom-
an, who, | rightly guessed, was Mrs.
Ricketts,.
Yes, ma'am,' ] replied.
"'He has the name O. livin' here said
/ Mrs. Ricketts,, with fine scorn, but
tha's darn little life in him.'
Il pretended not TO notice the irony of
my patrons amiable helpmeet, and as
sumcd anxiety.
He isn't sick, is hep I asked.
NO. replied Mrs. Ricketts,, he amt
sick
Z" Is he imp inquired.
No, he amt in was the answer.
Is he about the place 1 asked.
Yes, he's about the place.' said Mrs.
Ricketts,. The last 1 seen of him he
was h'istin' hisself up the ladder to the
haymow, little faster than I've seen
MIN move in a coon's age, and he's
scroochin' in one corner Of the NOW
now, / shouldn't wonder
viii he be back to the house soOn?'
asked
Meanin' this afternoon? said my
patrons wife.
"'Oh, yes, Certainlyl' replied.
No, he WON'T exclaimed Mrs. Rick
etts, with a positiveness that satisfied
me that, although the deed of that
clearing might be in the name Of sam
uel Ricketts,, he wasn't the boss of it. I
stood a moment undecided what to say
or do next when Mrs. RickStts snapped
out:
Would you want to know why Sam
Ricketts, won't be here soon?'
4 said that I would.
well said she. sam Ricketts, had

anyhow, 'tickelly noun dogs, an so I
up an told sam Ricketts, this mornin'
that if he didn't take that houn' off
an sell it or give it away I'd knock in
the head, an him, too, maybe. So SAINT
he took the dog away, and long about
an hour ago he come back. An what
DO YOU think he had done? He had
traded that dog off fer two darn strad-
din coon dog pups and fetched 'em
home! That's the reason sam Ricketts,
hustled up that ladder to the haymow
so suddeut and pulled the ladder uP
after him. And that's the reason why he
won't be back soon. He won't be back
tili after I'm gone TO bed and asleep to-
night, sam Ricketts, won't, and you kin
bet yer boots on it!'
IL didn't see any point in waiting TO
see Samuel Ricketts,. and heard a
month or so later that he WAS wonder
ing what IN thunder that editor stopped
his paper for."-N. y. sun.
