Throwing me Dart In Cork uor,or

the Dhrt In Cork Harbor.
The ancient civic ceremony known
as throwing the dart is performed
every third year, and 1t survives only
in Cork. Proceeding to the mouth OF
the harbor, the lord mayor casts a
silver dart into the sea and as he does
so proclaims his Jurisdiction as ad-
miral of the port over the harbor and
all It's inlets and creeks. The naval
authorities look on with unconcern. the
ceremony having long ago lost its an
cient significance. Throwing the dart
IS now merely the occasion for civic
outing.-London Mail.

A FRONTIER STORY.
Indian Incident of the Early Days Of
the Last Century.


In the year 1894 Sylvester Pat
tie and his son james went from
st. Louis southwestern into New
Mexico. At one village of the Paw
nee Indians the caravan found Il
war party with a prisoner, a child,
whom Pattie and his son bought in
order to keep it from torture. Some
days later the whites came upon a
small party of Indians, consisting
of between twenty and thirty wom-
en- and children, besides three men.
The story as written by James Pat
tie goes on: Suddenly Or atten-
ton was arrested by loud screams or
cries. Looking up. We saw our little
boy in the arms of an Indian, whose
neck he was closely clasping as the
Indian pressed him to his bosom,
kissing him and crying at the same
time. As we moved toward the
spot the Indian approached us, still
holding the child in his arms, and,
falling on his knees, made us a long
speech, which we understood only
through his signs. He was the IA
ther of this boy, whom we saved
from being burned by the Pawnees.
He gave US to understand by his
signs that his child was carried off
by his enemies.
"When the paroxysm of his JOY
was past we explained as well as we
could how we had obtained the
child. Upon hearing the name Paw
nee he rushed into his hut. He soon
came out, bringing two Indian
scalps and his bow and arrows, and
insisted that we should look at the
scalps, making signs to tell US that
they were Pawnee scalps which he
took at the time he lost his child.
CATER he finished this explana-
ton he would lay the scalps a short
distance from him and shoot his ar
rows through them to prove his
great enmity to this nation. He
then presented to my father a pair
of leggings and a pipe both neatly
decorated with porcupine quilts,
and, accompanied by his child, with
drew to his tent for the nigh"

Fires on shipboard.

Carbonic acid has been suggested
by an italian inventor as a means
for lessenng the danger of fires on
shipboard. The gas could be stored
in the hold, either in the solid form
or in steel cylinders in liquid condi-
ton. 1t is argued that in either
form it would be innocuous to car
go, and as its density is very higii
it would permeate all the interstices
between bales and cases and sink to
the bottom of the hold. Wherever
it reaches nothing can burn, so that
perfect immunity from fire would be
obtained up to the level of the gas.
The gas itself is a waste product of
breweries, and the only cost is the
expense of the condensing plant.
Before discharging the cargo venti-
lation would be necessary.

lie he manifests no interest in his
subjects, neither smiling nor bow
ing as he passes along. He sits
seemingly passionless, the accentu-
ated type of the japanese. Indeed
he hardly seems to hear the applause
of the crowds. This manner is to
some extent perhaps a matter of
etiquette, for the mikado must show
that he remembers the divinity of
his ancestors, who were gods 5000
wears ago.

A Trunkless BODY,

NJ. Sato, one of Japan's repre-
sentatives at the peace conference,
was chatting with some newspaper
men, one of whom suggested that 6
plain statement was enough for q
treaty of peace and that elaborate
wording was not necessary. The
Jap dissented from this view and. by
way of illustration told of an Afri-
can traveller who was relating har-
rowing adventure. 81 peered into

Cupid Comes Is Good Cams For q
Large Party.
Cupid comes is an alphabetical
game, played by any number of per-
sons, each of whom tells how Cupid
comes in answer to a question. The
answers must begin with the letters
of the alphabet in order and must
all end in Sing" Thus, the first
player says to his neighbor, cupid
comes" The neighbor asks, Chow
does he Gomez" And the first play
er replies, for instance, Angling. !"
The second player then says to the
third, Cupid comes" and in an
sWer to the same question replies,
Boiling" So the game goes on till
the alphabet is exhausted. Some
times it is then repeated, the an
swers ending in ~ly." Cupid then is
said to come amiably, bravely, eau
tiously, etc. Sometimes the letter
"a" is used by all the players In the
first round, CD" in the second round,
and so on. The game thus lasts
longer. In this case any one who
gives an answer alrssdy given must
pay a forfeit.

making each 100 pounds of meat on a
steer, an exchange remarks that it was
shown at one of the Chicago fat stock
shows that it cost SA.03 for 100 pounds
of gain with steers up to twelve
months, $798 between twelve and
twenty months and S12.54 be-
tween twenty -four and thirtysix
months. Other statistics show wide
range in the feed requirements, and it
is concluded that in general about 1000
pounds OF grain will be required for
100 pounds of gain with well fattened
steers on the average. besides 500
pounds of coarse food in the shape Of
hay, stoyer, etc.
