The Old Time Buccaneer.

Mr.. Masetield's book, "On the Span
ish Main" presents the old time buc-
cancer In a less abhorrent light than
that in which most people have regard
ed him. He even had religious beliefs.
No buccaneer was allowed to hunt or
to cure meat upon Sunday. No crew
put to sea on cruise without first
going to church to ask blessing on
their enterprise. No crew got drink
on the return to port after successful
trip until thanks had been declared for
the dew Of heaven they had gathered.
After cruise the men were expected
to fling all their loot into a pile, from
which the chiefs made their selection
and division. Each buccaneer was ex-
pected to hold up his right hand and to
swear that he had not concealed any
portion Of the spoil. If after making
oath man were found to have secret
ed anything he was bundled overheard
or marooned when the ship next made
the land. Each buccaneer had a mate
or c0mrade, with whom he shared all
things and to whom his property de-
volved in tbs event of death. In many
cases the partnership lasted during life.
A love for his partner was usually the
only tender sentiment buccaneer al
lowed himself.

permitting him to sit around and smoke

sLegging" a Canal Boat.

Throughout England there are mum.
Der Of tunnels cut for canals where
boats have to be pushed through by
a laborious process called 'legging."
This is about the only work on the
canal women do not do, and they used
to do even this. One may see the
process in operation near London at
the Mazda Hill tunnel, which is some
PIP yards in length. Sometimes when
the roof is low one man can '.leg" an
empty boat by. lying down on his back
on top Of the cabin and pushing the
roof with his feet With broad boat
"legging' is performed by two men,
one on each side of the boat, who lie
down on the fore end and push against
the tunnel sides with their feet. If the
tunnel is too wide boards projecting
over the boats side, termed wings"
are brought into use for them to lie on.
At tunnels where traffic is good pro-
fessional "leggers" are in attendance.

a stranxe. Fcast.

A curious feast ID observed by the
Mohammedan inhabitants of India, In
which the origin Of the custom known
as painting the town red may possibly
be traced. 1t Is called the Holi and
consists chiefly in the plentiful sprin-
king upon all and sundry Of a certain
red preparation called holi powder. It
stains the white clothes Of the natives
with an ugly, dirty looking red that
centuries up before timid eyes dread
visions of bloody fights and CHASTITY
mutinies. The powder Is made in two
shades-the one vermilion, the other
rose red-and both are used impartial-
" by the observers Of the ceremony,
who delight In bedaubing their faces
with the powders until they look like
strange and hideous denizens of hades
come up, still glowing with the fires
of that region. Among the better
classes this festival Is falling Into dis
favor, for it leads to many unpleasant
excuses and had its origin in some de-
cidedly dissipated scene in ancient
heather history.

Gladstone az a asupe..

A reference to "The Corsican Broth
ers' recalls an amusing story of Mr..
Gladstone's visit to the Lyceum when
Irving was playing in this drama. Mr..
Gladstone at the time was not bur.
dened by the cares of Office, and one
evening he dropped In at the Lyceum,
where he was occasionally accommo-
dated with chair at the "wings." On
this night, however, when the stage
was set for the opera ball In '"The Cor
sican Brothers" his curiosity led him
into one of the boxes for spectators in
the scene. Up went the curtain; Mr..
Gladstone was at once deserted by the
pit and greeted with shouts of joy
which caused him hastily to withdraw.
"This," says Mr.. Austin, twas his first
and only appearance in the drama out

Westminster" Westminster Gazette.

Origin of "the Levant.,

Nowadays 'the Levant'' means solely
the eastern Mediterranean region. But
it really signifies the east in general
sense-the region Of the rising sun, in
fact-being derived from the French
'lever," to rise. BY "the high Levant,
Bacon meant the far east In the
eighteenth century Chambers Encycio
pedia explained that "Levant'' applied
to any country to the eastward of one
and In this sense Evelyn wrote OF
more Levantine parts than Italy
"Levant," indeed, was interchangeable
with orient" just as ''ponent' was
with 'occident." So we find Milton
writing of "Levant' and "Ponent''
minds.-LOndon Chronicle.

The Automobile Girl.

The girl who automobiles, if she would preserve her skin. covers her face with a cold cream. She lays 1t on very thick. and over this she spreads a thick layer of face powder. using the very hest sne can buy. Often she does this SO thoroughly that she looks as though she was whitewashed. Then she puts on her big automobile .eil. The result O. protecting the skin oy cream and powder Is soon apparent. The cuticle is covered and the skin remains soft and nice. Dust cannot get into the pores. and wind cannot chap it. The skin is preserved. and Inc trip does the face no harm at all. On her return from her trip. the wom- an who has protected her face in this way can remove all traces of powder with cold cream. She must cover her face with a thick layer of the best cream that can be made. and must let i, stay on at least i5 minutes. She then takes it of with soft cloth. and there will remain nothing but the smooth. clear. pink skin.

ARTISTS WHO DESTROYED.
Severe Criticism the Cause of
 Masterpieces Being Done Away With.

By no means unusual was the de- struction of the Borglum angels in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine by the sculptor himself while smart ing under the criticism that there were no male angels shown, says the the New York Herald.
 Gerome, the famous French sculp. tor, had been working for weeks on the clay model of group represent ing spring. It had almost reached completion when the artist became convinced that the treatment was wrong and in a minute he had beaten the entire group into a shapeless mass of damp clay.
 Hogarth destroyed picture which had been somewhat severely critI- cized by one of his friends, but the most spectacular destruction is re- lated of Chartran, who for a time had a studio here. He was visited by the husband of an American woman whose portrait he was painting, $o,- 900 being the agreed price. The husband, while admitting it to be splendid work of art, declared that he could see absolutely no likeness to his wife in the pictured face. Chartran laid down his brush, and, taking out his penknife, slit the can vas into ribbons, after which he bowed his critic out It afterwards developed that the man was dispar. aging the portrait merely in the hope of obtaining reduction in the price.
