TIE WAY IN NEWCASTLE
HOW ONE CAPTAIN SECURED
CREW.
A Case of Shanghai in Which the Mas
ter Took Pity on the Victim and Sent
Him Home.

There Is a shipping master in New
castle who is credited by all the cap
tainS coming from there with being one
of the worlds greatest stars in his line.
He is an Irishman, who is said to be
able to land crew on the forecastle
of any ship at any hour the men are
wanted, whether they want to be. land
ed or not. In doing this he has no scru-
pies about methods. The captain of one
of the vessels from Newcastle now in
port tells a story of shipping a crew for
him that shows well the fearful crimes
that are committed by men of this class.
1t was a pitiful case of Shanghai"
II was all ready for sea except that
had no crew." said the captain, when
l quite accidentally fell in with the
shipping man. He wanted to go to Sgd
ney and was broke and / happened
to hear him say something about want
ing ten pounds. l pulled ont the money
and told him I wanted a crew. He
gave an order to one of his men to have
crew on my vessel that night without
fail. We were to leave the next morn
ing.
when morning came the crew was
there. They We're literally piled on the
forecastle. They lay across one another
and on top of one another heaped like
so many bags. Not one of them could
be reused Myself, the mates and the
out we went, with the dead crew on
| the forecastle 1t was hours before
before they came to. When they did,
one of them, a big Swede, dressed in
! farmers clothes started up and looked
about him in amazement. By this time
we We're out of sight of land. The
| Swede was in fact a farmer who had
not the slightest idea of shipping. He
came forward with tears in his eyes and
| told me he had a wife and family living
near Newcastle on his farm. He plead
ed with me to put back and send him
ashore, but of course, I could not do
that. He was there and had to make
the voyage l was sorry for the poor
| fellow who was utterly broken down
and would have given all he had in the
world to get to his family, or even to
! send word to them.
THE Swede made the voyage with us
| to Hongkong. AS soon as | got there
1 got passage home for him on a steam
| err and he started back to his family
| l suppose they thought he must be dead
He had come to Newcastle and begun
| drinking, and had fallen in with the
man who wanted to get a crew"

The Architect.

One must wonder why it really is
that so little is said or thought about
architecture. the grandest, the mother
of all arts, a great, a most useful, sci
ence, one in which greater revolution
has lately taken place and in which
more progress has been made, with
more stupendous results, than in any
other, remarks a writer in The Inter
national Magazine.
Was it not Richelieu who, paraphras-
ing an ancient writer, said: IF it is
versatility you seek, go find an archi-
tect. He must be an artist, or his
buildings will offend the eye; an engi-
neer. or they will crumble into trouble;
a lawyer, or he will get his patrons in
to trouble; a doctor. or his buildings
will be hygienically unfit to live in,
and, last, but not least, he must be a
gentleman. or we will have nothing to
do with him.

DESTROYING the Point.

Every one knows the man who is
notorious for SO telling a story as to
destroy it's point. An English noble
man, Lord p, was noted for his sue
cess in thus running the prosperity Of
a story. The author of "Collections
and Recollections" exhibits a specimen
of his lordship's peculiar art.
Thirty years ago two large houses
were built at Albert Gate, London, the
size and cost of which seemed likely to
prohibit tenants irons hiring them. A
wag christened them malta and Glib
raltar because they can never be
taken"
Lord P. thought this an excellent
joke and ran round the town. saying to
every friend he met:
Il say, do you know what they call
those houses at Albert Gate? They
call them Malta and Gibraltar because
they can never let them. Isn't it aw
fully good?"
Some one told Lord P. the old rid
die, "Why was the elephant the last
animal to get into the ark ?" to which
the answer is. Because he had to pack
his trunk"
Lord P. asked the riddle of the next
friend he met and gave as the answer,
Because he had to pack his portman-
teau."

HE WASHED DISHES.

The Hard Job One Boy Had All the
Way to Europe.
The girls who have complained in
various keys because they had dishes
to wash may be glad to hear of a
young man who can look at the mat
ter through their eyes, perhaps more
so. He had shipped as boy on cat
tie steamer for Europe because he
wanted to save as much as possible on
his transportation, and-but the rest OF
the story sounds better in his own
words:
About 4:3O in the morning l was
awakened and told to go to work. l
hastily dressed for the first and last
time on board, for during the rest Of
the voyage l took care not to undress.

waiting for me. He showed me into

me that my chief duty during the voy-
age would be to wash dishes.

dirty dishes waiting 10 DE washed, anu
L rolled up my sleeves, fixed the hot
water and began to work. had these
almost done when another and larger
lot was brought in from the dining
room. This proved to be the daily pro-
gramme. | no sooner had one pile
washed than others were brought in,

l ever saw SO many dishes before in
my life, and hope | never shall again.
There were 60 passengers aboard be-
sides the cattlemen, and six meals
were served each day. From the
dishes that came out to be washed, l
think that each passenger must have
used at least six plates at a meal"

Time ia Give I'm.

An Iowa judge recently related an
amusing incident that had occurred in
his court when a eolored man was
brought up for some petty offense. The
charge was read, and as the statement
1.-The state OF Iowa against john
Jones" was read in a beud voice the
colored mans eyes bulged nearly cut
of their sockets and he seemed ever
come with terror and establishment.
When he was asked if be had anything
to say or pleaded guilty or not guilty.

Census experts estimate" says the

the population center to be between

death. Senator Clarke was anxious
to succeed and during the early part
Of the session voted for everything.
If another senator had bill. all he
had to do was to go and whisper in
Ezekiers ear. and he would vote AYE"
One day, however. Ezekiel came into
the senate with hair cut and clean
shave. He sat upright in his seat and
began to slaughter right and left.
State Senator George f. Wright look
ed across to where the senator from
Johnson was sitting and inquired what
change had come over the senator
from Johnson county. The other SEN
ator replied that the appropriation bill
for the state university had now pass
ed both houses, and the senator from
Johnson was going to make up for
lost time.
Clarke kept on punching heads until
the senator from jefferson, Moses A.
McCoid, rose and solemnly introduced
a bill for an act entitled IAN act
repeating the appropriation for the
state university" A broad smile pass

except the senator from Johnson saw

TIE ARCTIC MOSQUITO.
1t Us About the Most Terrible Insect
Pest In the World.

Pest In the World.
Nothing that has ever been written
about the arctic mosquito begins to
come up to the real thing" said guest
il the ST. Charles corridor the other
evening. 81 went up the Yukon river
in the summer Of 1896, representing
the Alaska and Dominion Trading
company, and we struck mosquitoes as
soon as we got into the hills. They are
twice as large as our familiar bayou
species, and their sting is like the prod
of hot needle. They sweep along the
valleys in dense clouds, and if they
catch a man unprepared they are liable
to blind him before he can escape. I
heard stories of children being stung to
death and can readily believe them.
whenever we went ashore we wore
heavy hat nets and took the utmost
precaution, but were certain to suffer
more or less. One of our party cut the
tongues out of his shoes, and narrow
line of sock was exposed under the lac
ing. Next day he was bitten there at
least a hundred times, and his feet
were so terribly infiamed that the shoes
had to be cut off.

crew, got drunk on Alaska whisky one
afternoon and lay down to take nap

LOVE ON THE FARM.

A potato went on mash
And sought an onion bed.

And all the beets turned red.

''Your love cannot be-
The pumpkin be your lawful bride,
You cantaloupe with me-
But onward still the tuber came
And laid down at her feet;
"You caulifower by any name,
And it will smell as wheat;
And /, too, am an early rose,
And you I've come to see,
So don't turn up your lovely nose,
But spinachat with me!''

So go, sir, if you please
The modest onion meekly said,
'And lettuce, pray, have peas!
Go think that you have never seen
Myself or smelled my sigh,
Too long maiden have been
For favors in your eye!'
"Ah, spare cuss!' the tuber prayed,
my cherryshed bride you'll be;
You are the only weeping maid
That's currant now with me!''
And as the willy tuber spoke
He caught her by surprise
And, giving her an artichoke,
Devoured her with his eyes.
