Swedish superstitions.

In Sweden. youth as we'll as maidens
test the potency Of love charms by
gathering nine kinds Of flowers. which
they place under their pillows, and the
one dreamed of is the favored one.
Young men also look for fernseed at
midnight, for its magical power in cap
turing the hearts Of shy or obdurate
maidens. Fernseed SO procured also
avails to make its possessor invisible.
Young girls get the hard root Of mug
wort, which is called coal. and put 1t
under their pillows. in order to dream
Of their lovers.

Miami, Fla, Sept. 9. - The tropical
hurricane which has done considerable
damage on the islands Of Jamaica ana
Cuba, struck the Florida coast Wednes-
day, the wind at one time reaching a
velocity of nearly n hundred miles
an hour. 1t is feared the crews of at
least two vessels were swept verboar
about thirty miles south Of here. NO
damage was done at Miami. The tele-
graph wires were blown Down and his
part Of the country was h u off from
the outside world from Wednesday
night until last evening. The barken-
tine Culboon, Capt. Richards, of st.
Johns, N. B., laden with a big load OF
fine lumber, is ashore five miles south
Of Casyfcot light, about thirty-fve
miles south OF here. She Is water
logged. The Culboon was driven by
the force of the waves over n OF the
reefs forming the inner passage n Ii
lying in twelve feet of water. Nothing
has been heard of her crew. The Gull
boon encountered the hurricane on
Wednesday morning. At 1920 after
losing her rudder and nearly all her
canvas, the vessel was hurled upon the
rocks. The vessel and cargo may DO
saved. The Culboon sailed from Pas
cagoula, Miss, Aug. %. and was bound
for Rosario, Argentine Republic.
Three miles south of the Culboon 10
a deserted lumber-laden bark which
stranded during the night Of the 5th.
The crew, 1t is feared, was swept over
board during the storm. The vessel
is thought to be Norwegian.
Comfortable Damage Done.
West Palm, Beach, Fla, Sept. Com
siderable damage has been done in this
section by the tropical hurricane which
struck here Wednesday. The gale con-
tinues. The bulkhead Of the immense
Palm Beach pier was swept from its
foundation anad washed several hum
dred feet to the north. A force Of men
were engaged In repairing some slight
damage to the pier and had a station
ary engine out on the end Of 1t when
the storm struck this point. The men
all escaped to the shore. The current
is running very high and 1t will be
several days before repairs can be at
tempted. o.

How the Chinese Telegraph.

The curious part Of the Chinese te1e-
graph system is the fact that, even in
the interior, where there are no foreign
ers, all the telegraph blanks are printed
in English. The Chinese language, be-
ing Geographic, having a character for
each word, 1t is impossible to transmit
it by the ordinary Morse signals. It Is,
therefore, necessary to telegraph either
in q foreign language or by using Ara
bic numerals. BY the latter method a
Chinese dictionary is taken and a num-
Der given to each word at all likely to
be used in a telegraph dispatch.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

How China Was Explored.

for in that year Amherst made a jour-
ney along the banks Of the Pekiang. a
northern tributary Of the Sikiang.
sometimes called the River Of Canton;
but Mccartney had already done valu-
able work up the same stream in 1893.
It was not. however, until the early
part. of the second half Of the century
in the '60s-that systematic explora-
ton Of that part of China was under
taken. During that decade the south
western and southern provinces were
regularly quartered out by English ex-
plorers.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

was convicted at Salt Lake City in
May, 1898, of embezzlement of $S.O72
postofice funds while assistant post
master at Salt Lake and sentenced to
four years in the Utah penitentiary.
The attorney general. in recommending
the pardon, says that recently OBJ
tanned evidence raises a serious doubt
as to whether there ever was such a
shortage as was claimed, and in view
of the further fact that Mcbride all
ready has served n year. he thinks
executive clemency should be extended:
