MANY A MOUTH IS WATERY
Sunken Steamer and Cargo of Whisky
Found After Fifty Years.

After lying in the mud and sand Of the
Missouri river for fifty-three years the
old steamboat City of New Orleans has
been uncovered by the recent high water
and its cargo of 160 barrels of whisky
probably will be recovered. Tie re-
mains of the boat were found twelve
miles above Belleville, Neb- The finders
have placed guards in charge and are
rigging a derrick above the old hull SO
that the barrels may be hoisted out
The City of New Orleans was one Of
the early steamboats, which piled the
Missouri river and was owned by Capt
La Barge of st. Louis. In 1852 the boat
went up stream, having a cargo Of 100
barrels OF whisky for traders near Sioux
City.
Near night the vessel struck snag
and sank, the crew taking to the boats
The hull drifted with the stream and,
although efforts were made at the time
to locate it, they were unsuccessful.
Originally the cargo was supposed to
have been valued at $4,000. but 30
year-0ld whisky is worth much more to-
day than the same grades We're when
new.
During the high water of this spring
the Missouri began cutting into the
bank above Bellevue, with the result
that when John Mccarthy and another
resident of Bellevue island were rowing
to the mainland they We're astonished to
see the remains of an old steamboat
firmly embedded in the sand, only por-
ton being above water. The story Of
the City of New Orleans is known all
along the river here and the news quick
ly spread. Mccarthy made a haSty eX-
animation and discovered the whisky
barrels in the hold.

An Oliver Wendell Holmes Story.

The following story of Oliver Wendell
Holmes was told me some years ago by
physician who was a student in the
Harvard medical school when DR.
Holmes was an instructor in anatomy
there.
One day the subject before the class
was the Uranium. and human skull
was passed from hand to hand. the in
structor asking the members of the class
to describe the prominences. cavities
and apertures. Student after student
gave the names and locations of the
orifces, until finally the inquiry mar
rowed down to one opening which baf-
fed every one.
DIR. Holmes waited patiently for some
one to distinguish himself, but no ex-
PLANTATION was advanced. When all had
given it up the doctor rather drying re-
marked That is Holmes hole; | made

William Willard Named the Time.

The late William Willard of Stur-

Massachusetts governors. was very &C.

of wealth.
A New York lady visiting in the Vi

artist possessed a beautiful colonial mir
ror and a rare clock, tried to buy them.
Mr.. Willard seemed to readily agree to
the sale, but when asked when it would

Horatio +. Brown, London writer
ON Venetian subjects, has had a singular
experience with fire. The original draft
of Browns first and best known work,
Life on the Lagoons," persisted in the
blaze which destroyed the offices of its
publisher. Kegan Paul, in 1883. The
manuscript of his Study in the Vene-
tan lnquisition" was burned in a small
car in Switzerland two years later. and
a similar fate overlook both that of his
Calendar of Venetian State Papers" at
the fire ut SpottiswoOde's in 1892 and
that of his Studies in Archaeology. -
The latter was consumed in the burn
ing of Cecil Rhodes's house, Rondcs-
bosch, Cape Town. in 1898.

PLEASURE is ACCIDENTAL.
Those Who Seek 1t Never Find 1t, Says
a Writer

Pleasure, to the most of us, says a
writer in The Speaker, is something ex-
traordinary and artifcial; something to
be sought with labor and pains. No one
expects to find it in his own home, or in
the ordinary conditions and employments
of his own home. So we go out into the
world, and wander about vaguely looking
for It, as children might look for black
berries. not knowing what kind of Il
plant they grow on, and, of course, they
fail to find it. We are never fully aware
of our failure in pleasuring because we
do not really know what pleasure is.
1T is sad fact" continues the writer,
that the less pleasure you get out Of
your ordinary life the less you get out of
Il holiday. or from any conditions arti-
hcially contrived to give you pleasure. In
the ease of the poor, their incapacity for
enjoyment is largely due TO the hardness
of their lives. But the idle rich are rs
bad or. The people who travel in search
of pleasure because they are bored with
their own homes have as little success as
the painters who go TO Japan because
| they can see nothing worth painting N
England. They do not set new eyes Inv
crossing the sea, hor do pleasure seekers
/ get new souls under foreign skies"
