Saw Hatteras Topsy-Turvey.
From the Baltimore Sun.

To few men in their sober senses is
granted the privilege of seeing Cape
Hatteras upside down, but Capt. John
H. Tawes of the Diamond Shoal light
ship, writes as follows:
mot only have we seen Cape Hat
teras upside down, but even the ships
that passed us on March 10 and II
seemed to be sailing bottom upward,
On Monday night there was a. light
wind from the north northeast.
"I had retired early. The man on
lookout between 10 and II o'clock p. m.
was the first to see what was undoubt-
edly a mirage. He did not understand
it at all and became very uneasy. Run
ming below, he called to me and said
that he thought that the ship was near
the beach. He said he could see the
town of Hatteras all lighted up and
thought that we had drifted inshore
miles and were about to ground.
Il was on deck on the double quick,
and much TO my surprise, saw that
what he told me was true. ! could see
the small and large lights of Hatteras
showing very plainly and we seemed
to be close to thends
II did not know what to think of it
until took a survey of things. 1 won
dered at first if old Davy Jones had
shattered our six-ton mushroom anchor
and was taking us in on the shoals.
Things looked so upside down that
took my deep-sea lead to get sound
ings and was glad indeed to find that
the good old ship was still in the chan
mel with thirty fathoms of water be-
tween her and the bottom"

A BONANZA AUCTION.
Fancy Prices Paid For An, la ssadOr'a
Household Goods.

Fancy Prices Paid For An, la ssadOr'a
Household Goods.
The retiring French ambassador $
household effects were sold AT auction
the other day. says Washington spe-
cial to the New York World. 1t has
often been said that foreign diplomats
upon leaving usually sell their goods
for three times as much as they had
paid for them. Chairs Mr.. Cambon
probably paid SIG or $50 for sold for
SIS and 500, and SO on. Fashionable
society was represented, and men and
women bid against each other with
acrimony.
The Persian minister paid a high
price for lace curtains. Some veteran
shoppers said similar curtains can be
bought new at half what General Khan
paid. Well worn rugs were bought by
Mrs. Albert Clifford Barney for her
fine collection. The sale netted bigger
prices than any held in recent years
Not even the effects Of Lord Paunce
fote caused such spirited bidding.

the New York Tribune. 1.-THE departure
from land out upon the ice has not
been undertaken earlier than April 5 or
6. At that time the sun has been above
the horizon long enough to moderate
the temperature greatly and soften the
ice. II this stage of the undertaking
was entered upon four or five weeks
earlier, the ice would unquestionably
be much firmer."
How early in the year would it be
practicable to make start:'

is sufficient for our purposes at the be-
ginning of March or even at the close
of February. 1t is not necessary 10 de-

SLEEP ON A COLD SMOKE.



insomnia Cure.
After giving a fair and patient tr1ai
to each of many alleged cures for
sleeplessness the writer.stumbled across
a simple method of inducing somno-
lence that has the merit Of being harm
less and inexpensive. To smokers the
remedy involves no cost whatever, but
Of nonsmokers the capital Outlay OF
the price Of a pipe is required. 1t must
be wooden pipe and curved, not
straight.
Having retired for the night the sur
ferer should lie perfectly fiat on his
back. discarding pillow rests, and pun
steadily at an empty pipe until ne reels
thoroughly drowsy. The desired result
usually is achieved after from about
sixty to hundred puffs have been
made. The putting should be done
slowly with a deep inhaling movement.
The expelling motions must he made
deliberately with narrowed mouth.
During the entire operation the pipe
should not be removed, as each displac-
ing and replacing movement tends to
wakefulness
Those capable of great concentration
of thought should, if smokers, imagine
they see volumes Of smoke, and those
who eschew the burning weed will be
helped by counting the puffs.
AS sleep is often successfully wooed
while yet the pipe is in the mouth,
| bowls of meerschaum or clay are not
| recommended, since these are liable to
| be broken when the coming of slumber
allows the pipe to slide from the
mouth. Nervous people may be reas-
sured that there is no danger In falling
asleep with the stem edge of curved
pipe caught between ones teeth. Sleep
always occasions the grip to be re-
moved That may hold also of straight
! pipes, but for other and obvious rea-
sons these are less suitable than those
| with curved stems.-New York Mail
and Express.
