GETTING CREW FOR WHALER
Each Man Has to Be Rounded Up
Times Without Number to Get
Him Aboard.

In Harper's Magazine Clifford w.
Ashley, the artist who recently made
a trip in an old-fashioned whaler for
the magazine, tells entertainingly Of
the difficulties of finally getting the
crew together and aboard ship.
Sunday morning, long before the
church bells rung," says Mr.. Ashley,
1--WE were gathered in the darkened
front of the store. had stopped at
the postoffice for my mail, and as
stepped out again into the bright sun
shine of that August morning. a cou-
pie of sailors numbered hastily by and
lodged around the corner. AS they
were vanishing, one Of the owners
appeared in the street, gazing up and
down In a mystified manner, vainly
seeking a glimpse of the runaways.
When he saw me he hailed cheerfully.
From the alley whence he had
emerged. a series of derisive boots fol-
lowed him. then a wagon-load Of sea-
men appeared, being trundled off to
the river. Swaying and pitching as
the cart jolted over the cobbles, they
boisterously spoke each passerby,
making the street hideous with their
yells. Before ! entered the store
saw them, one by one, dropping off
over the tail-board, utterly oblivious
to the protests of the unfortunate dry
goods clerk who was held responsible
for their delivery.
THE front shop was crowded and
noisy, but the real hubbub was In a
small back room. Here the sailors,
bowling and pounding, were locked up
when caught, and held till the return
of the wagon to take them off to the
river. Word was received that the
mate refused to go on board till he
had partaken of his Sunday dinner.
On various pretexts others sought to
get off for a while longer-one had
forgotten TO bid his mother goodbye;
another had left home wthQnt an
overcoat. The clerks rushed frantical-
ly about. Each man had to be round
up up--not onCs. but half dozen
times"

Children of Missionaries.

In Europe the son often follows his
fathers trade; in America, the land
of change and rapid promotion. he
seldom does For this reason, observes
the Youths Companion. there is some
thing particularly significant in the
fact that Of the missionaries of the
American board In India and Ceylon
one-third are the children, or the
grandchildren OF missionaries sent out
two or three generations ago. Many
men say TO their sons, Mine is a poor
business; try some other" The sons

Exports from Gulf Ports.

The growing Importance OF the
gulf ports for the shipment of western
produce is gathered from a statement
recently issued by the department Of
commerce. For the 10 months ending
with April Galveston. New Orleans
and Mobile exported $30,000,000 worth
OF breadstuffs. against $33.000.0 900
worth for all the Chesapeake ports,
including Baltimore. and $37.0O0.00O
worth for New York. New York's
lead is readily accounted for by the
advantage 1t has in the cheap water
route through the lakes and the Erie
canal, which also give her not little
wheat from the Canadian fields. With
a deep waterway from Chicago to the
mouth Of the Mississippi New Orleans
which contributes $l6.500.00O to the
above total OF $30,00O.O 900 for the three
gulf ports. would in all likelihood ex-
eel New York in the shipments OF
breadstuffs and other western produce

STRANGE SAVAGE CUSTOM
Weird Tribal Ceremony of the Natives
of the Anglo-Abyssinian
Boundary.

Some remarkable tribal customs are
reported by an expedition sent into
the comparatively unknown countries
between the Abyssinian capital and
The northwest of Lake Rudolf, in the
neighborhood Of the Anglo-Abysslnian
boundary.
While the expedition was fitting out
at Mail, the Abyssnian post in the
southwest. the local Shankalla king
died. He was sewn up in a fresh hide
bag in a sitting position and placed
on the floor Of his hut, which stood in
clearing in the forest, and from
miles around his subjects came to the
lying in state.
The ground Of the clearing was of
hard beaten clay. All round were
thick rows Of huge "gogo" palms, and
on one side four spacious, well
thatched huts and a curious mound.
probably sacrifcial. By the side of
the buts thousands OF COW bells, sweet
in tone as those In n Swiss upland
valley, were hung on rude trestles and
swung backwards and forwards by
odiuo VI WOilcu uHueT the ulTeCtlOn
of an old witch.
The hard, level flooring of the clear
ing shook under the feet of hundreds
of naked warriors. chanting a wild
song of death. now advancing in a
rhythmic rush, now retreating and
leaving two of their number in the
open, who, with their 12-foot spears
held horizontally just over their
shoulders. the shafts qivering like a
snake before it strikes. danced wild
war dance, keeping time to the chant
Of the chorus.
When the din grew louder the
crowd surged round the dead kings
hut, suddenly parted. and through the
lane thus formed dashed a cleaning
figure. adorned with a leopard skin,
orange colored ostrich feathers. beads,
and bands of copper and brass and
ivory round his neck and arms.
Three times he rushed round the
clearing, followed by the shouting
singing warriors. and then disap-
peared as quickly as he had come
The new king had been chosen.

FIND HEART OF RAMESES.
Vital Organ of Great Egyptian King
Preserved in Vase for
3,164 Yea.

recent issue of the Complies Rem
O. o' the Paris academy contains an
accoLlt of the successful identification
of the heart of Rameses H.. the Sesos-
iris of the Greeks, after having been
preserved since 1858 u. c. in soda and
resinoid antiseptics.
Some months ago, says the New
York Times, the council of the Ma
tional Museum of the Louvre acquired
possession of the four vases in blue
enamel which contain the viscera and
heart of Rameses H.. and bear large
medallions representing the names and
attributes of the king.
The directors of the Egyptian muse
um desired absolute confirmation as to
the contents of the vases and intrusted
the examination of their contents to
NJ. Lortet. who, with his colleagues,
Professors Hugounenq. Renaut and
Rigan. made a careful physiological ex-
animation. Three OF the vases con-
tanned bandages of linen tightly COM
pacted and hardened by the carbonate
os soda and aromatic resinous sub
stances of reddish color, which had
been employed as Gntiseptics and had
probably contained the stomach. intes-
tines and liver of the great king. These
viscera, however, we're only found to
be represented by T. quantity of granu-
lar matter mixed with a large propor-
tion of powdered carbonate of soda
and so could not be identified
The fourth vase. which was fitted
with a lid or cover adorned with the
head of jackal, proved to contain the
heart This organ was found trans
formed into kind of oval plate. eight
centimeters long and four centimeters
wide. The substance of the heart was
hornlike and the saw had to be used in
obtaining sections of II for examination
and finally the razor, so as to reduce
these sections to the attenuation neces-
sary for microscopic examination.
Under the miscroscope these sections
gave unmistakable evidence of the mus
cular fibers peculiar to the heart, espe-
cially characterized by being arranged
in bundles of such fbers, crossing each
other Since this special muscular
arrangement is not found in any other
part of the body except the tongue and
as the mummy OF Rameses H., which
Is preserved at Cairo, contains the
tongue intact. the experts have no
doubt whatever that the vase actually
contained the heart OF Rameses H. fat
tened and transformed into a hornlike
substance by its long sojourn in the
soda preservatives.
King Rameses H. died /. .25s years be-
fore the Christian era and hence some
2lGl years have elapsed since his hear;
was first embamed.

Fxtravapance for the Dead.

Burial customs were once modest
with our people. But complicated and
costly living appears to have made
simple dying impossible. remarks the
New York Mail. We run to weak os-
tentation in the surroundings and
trappings of mortality. II is necessary
TO obtain this, to purchase that; 1t Is
the only good form. nothing else will
do. II is the consideration OF the liv-
ing that we think about. not the sim
pie respect due the dead. We forget
that the costlier the earthly memorial
we erect the shallower may be the rec
ord that we cut upon the tablets OF
our hearts.

Their Merit Recognized and Reward
cd Earlier Than It II at
Home.

Once more an American artists pic
ture holds the place OF honor at the
exhibition Of the Royal Academy in
London. Sargent had attained that
honor; now 1t is Abbey's turn, with a
picture distinctly American in subject,
representing Columbus landing In the
new world. Several other well-known
American artists figure among the no.
table exhibitors. In the two annual
picture shows now open in Paris, the
same fact is true. reports the New
York World.
American artists frequently complain,
as do singers and musicians, that the
surest way to distinction at home Is
recognition abroad. The protest iu.
plies that merit Is not SO readily &C.
cepted here as merit as 1t Is in France
and England.
The distinction attained by Sargent
in London has done more than all his
early successors In this country to as.
sure his preeminence. The same may
be said to be true Of Abbey. although
fame came to him easy as an illustra.
tor Something may be due to the cir.
cumstance that for years both have
done most Of their work abroad. Be.
yond doubt. however. art is viewed
far more Hospitality in Paris and Lon.
don than in New York. We have yet
no art exhibitions that occupy SO large
a place In popular life as the regular
shows of the two foreign capitals.
1t is noteworthy also that more con.
temporary American artists have room
in the Luxembourg museum, where liv.
ing painters must await admission to
the Louvre, than In our own Metropol.
itan. The Paris list counts about 25,
among them Whistler, Sargent, Win.
slow Homer, La Fargo, Alexander Har.
rison, Henry Mosler, Walter MacEwen
Carl Melchers, Miss Cassatt Edwin L.
Weeks and II. o. Tanner.
Under the old management American
artists we're treated with suspicion at
the Metropolitan. II was sometimes
difficult to get their works through the
museums doors even as gifts
Fortunate. all that is being rapidly
changed. Sir Purdon Clarke advocates
the necessity of building up a repre-
sentative American collection. Mr.
George A. Hearn has donated a large
fund. OF which the income Is reserved
for the purchase of American works
II is a curious commentary on Ameri-
can taste that It was not until a for
eign director was put in charge Of the
Metropolitan that American artists
were promised something of the same
public recognition they receive from
the French government.

vehicle Of Yankee Make Has Invaded
the Orient with Good
Results.

That characteristic vehicle of the
orient, the jinrikisha, is drawn by a
yellow coolie in Japan, brown Hindu
In India, a black Zulu In South Africa
but look between the shafts of the
'rikisha In any of these countries, and
you will probably find the same name

in New Jersey. The Yankee jinrikisha
has invaded the east, and its invasion
promises to result in a permanent oc-
cupation of countries where cheap la
Dor would seem to forbid sales OF
American goods.
The Yanlee 'ritisha manufactured

American factory methods permit turn

bearings. bicycle wheels and cushion
tires at $50.
Different types Of 'riklsha are made
for different countries. The vehicle is
common in Lagos. Ceylon. and many
other localities. each of which has its
preferences in the way of weight,
height, hoods. bells. lamps. colors, and
cushions. The New Jersey factory also
supplies the "pousse- -pousse" used in
Madagascar. II is a variety of jinriki-
sha with hood and springs.
Another is the Korean cab" which

the vehicle is capable Of good speed.
When the Yankee 'rikisha was intro
duced on the west coast of Africa, II

who drew one presently stopped, lift
ed the vehicle and its passenger to his
head, and wanted to carry II that way

CHARMS THAT BRING LUCK
Superstitions of Bridge Players.
Houses and Seats That Are
Unlucky.

II is now obvious that the portion OF
society which takes its gambling seri-
ously--it is very large portion in
deed-has become very superstitious
An instance in point Is the buying OF
the ankh which, as now sold in Bond
street In gold and jewels. is extremely
popular. says the London Daily Mail.
The ankh is the sign of life, and
consequently of good luck striving
against bad; a symbol of Egyptian
origin composed Of a headless cross
attached to stirrup circle.
Gambling has always gone hand in
hand with belief in the efficacy OF
charms. but the fair votarles of bridge
go much further and there are end
less little ceremonies which are sup
posed to initiate for or against their
chance of winning.
A charming lady who might. with
out undue conceit, have styled herself
zone who knows" quotes an instance:
Whenever you cut for a fresh dea
or after a rubber" she said, "the one
who cuts lowest has, as you know. the
choice Of cards and seats, and they In.
variably turn the winning people out
of their seats and choose the winning
pack" Sometimes they elect to sit
against the hinges of the table. be-
cause that is the lucky side.
AS for the charms which are sup
posed to bring luck, their name 1!
legion; the most favored are little
dwarfs, lucky sixpences and the New
Zealand greensboro.
It must not be supposed that these
superstitions are confined to the
ladies' Two well known card players
at Whites are extremely proud of pos
sessing some pieces Of a hangman'l
rope, and from the possession Of thes'
trophies they date their good luck.
Certain houses are considered lucky
to play In. though Of course a house
which is lucky for one player may b,
unlucky for the other. Particular club
also are much in favor among care
players.
