The Ashes of the Dead.

James Russell Lowell was a great
favorite in the literary circles Of Lon
don. On one occasion at a large ban
quet the peculiarities of American
speech were discussed with English
bluntness. Lord S. called to Mr.. Lowell
loudly, so as to silence all other speak
ers:
There is one new expression invent
ed by your countrymen so foolish and
vulgar as to be objectionable. They
talk of the ashes of the dead We
don't burn corpses. No Englishman
would use q phrase so absurd
And yet" said Mr. Lowell gently,
'your poet Gray says, speaking of the
dead:
'E'e r in our ashes live their wonted fires.
and in the burial services of the
church Of England it is said, Dust to
dust and ashes to ashes We sin in
good company" A cordial burst of APP
plause greeted this prompt rejoinder.

A Marine. Fire Alarm.

Many ships have pipe running from
the hold to the deck. 1t is precau-
ton against fire. If even a trifing
fire occurs in the hold smoke will
ascend the pipe and upon issuing from
the top will be noticed by some of the
crew. Checking it would then be COM
paratively easy. !. In the absence of q
pipe, though, a fire might begin and
remain unnoticed until it assumed such
proportions that Esonquering it would

The CHILEAN "YAPPA."
1t Is Similar to the sLagniappe" of
New Orleans.

Residents of New Orleans and north
ern readers Of Cables stories of the
city are familiar with the interesting
and gracious custom of small, trades
men of giving lagniappe. The word,
commonly pronounced ''lanyap," refers
to the small present which the dealers
make to their customers as a sort of
inducement to call again. The custom
is so firmly established that the people
are in the habit of waiting for their
little present after they have made
their purchases, and children ask for
it. Mrs. Hort in her book THE Garden
of the Pacific" describes a similar GUS
tom in Valparaiso The Chileans, how
ever, call the gift 'yappa," which one
readily sees is kindred to the word
used in New Orleans.
Il used to frequent the fruit market,
which was well stocked The fresh
figs were the largest and sweetest that
had ever seen or tasted, and l made
point of daily bringing some home
for breakfast
The first time l selected the number
which l wanted the girl placed them
between leaves in my basket and then
laid another half dozen on the top. l
supposed that she wished me to buy
an extra quantity and shook my head
in the negative. She smilingly ex-
planned that it was for yappa. AS l
had nothing more to pay, was agree
ably. impressed by the custom.
1.-THE Chileans exact the yappa as
their due. We were in a confectionery
shop one day when a small child came
in and held up centavo (halfpenny)
for some sweets. The man handed
them to her. She held up her other
hand and lisped out, Mi yappa,' and
| got it."-New York Globe.

NO SENTIMENT IN SIGHS.
They Ale Simply Caused by a Desire
For More Breathe

For More Breath. !.
The sigh, which from time immemo-
rial and by all the poets whoever sung
has been regarded as a matter. of SEN
timent and connected. with the emo
tons, is declared by physicians to be
as purely physical phenomenon as is
the sneeze or cough. A well known
Philadelphia doctor, speaking of this
the other day, explained that the sigh
is natures method of making one take
a deep BREATH, When the lungs have
been getting insufficient air sigh is
the means by which they are replenish-
ed, or when the air has been impure
theSigh which one often takes in STEP
ping out into the open air is from the
same cause
The doctor admitted that people
sometimes sigh from sorrow or other
mental i'll, but maintained that this is
partly because it has been accepted as
the expression Of grief through ages as
long as kissing and handshaking have
been accepted as signs of affection or
friendship. Another reason why a sigh
follows a sorrowful thought is that
such thoughts are often concentrated
and intense enough to cause INSULT
Gent breathing. When the lungs suf-
fer for certain time from this insult
ficiency the sigh follows. Signs are
often caused, too, says the same au-
thority, by certain sorts of indigestion.

GREEN.TURTLES EXPENSIVE.
Whsre They Are Caught and How
They Are Brought North.


They Are Brought North.
brings $50 a pound" said an oyster
dealer. This rich meat comes to us
from the coral reefs of the West In
dies.
The turtles are caught in nets
among the rocks. They are very care
fully brought north. They are deck
passengers at first, but as the weather
grows cold with the. ships progress
they are penned in. warm rooms below
regular staterooms.
Its different treatment that they
get, though, at the natives hands. If
native is bringing turtles north he
nalls them fast to the deck by their
hlppers. Strange creatures that they
are, they appear to suffer little under
| such cruel treatment.
1.-The calipee and calipash are re-
spectlvely the flesh from the breast
and. the back Of the green turtle, It'd
DTS which, l have heard epieures say,
| are unequaled in the earth beneath,
me heavens above or the waters under
the earth. This meat is .superlatively
rlcn' delicate and tender.
Live green turtle fetches wholesale
from a dime to a quarter pound.
! What makes the meat so expensive ia
the end IS that out of a 40 pound fish
you'll only get two pounds of calipee
and one Of calipash.
Several .times when there has been
4 a tight turtle market the chefs of MIL
lionaires and of certain extrdvagant
hotels have offered me 81 a pound fol-
live turtles. At that rate your calipee
and calipash would come to quite S5f

An ancient recipe for making a sweet

Take storax, calamite and benjamin,
of each half an ounce, laudahum one
ounce, musk two grains, and put them
together in a fair brass mortar, which
you must first warm so hot in the fire
that with the heat thereof and beating

ENGRAVED PICTURES.
Their Romantic Origin Dates Back to
the Fifteenth Century.

Their Romantic Origin Dates Back to
the Fifteenth Century.
The art Of engraved pictures dates its
romantic origin to the chamber of a
Florentine goldsmith, Maso Finiguerra,
in the fifteenth century, about the time
that Gutenberg was struggling with
his printing from movable types. Be
fore that day pictures were drawn or
painted by hand. Finiguerra was a
celebrated worker in metals, and, being
commissioned to make a pax Of gold
engraved with a coronation of the Vir-
gin, he sought to test his design by
filling in the lines with a preparation
of Oil and lampblack, which threw the
picture into relief By chance the face
was laid face downward on a piece of
damp linen, and when taken up it was
discovered that the picture was printed.
Sheet after sheet of damp paper was
impressed by the same plate and the

SPIDERS OF CEYLON.
Their Golden Webs VIII Ensnnre
Birds and Lizards.


Far up in the mountains Of Ceyloni
there is spider that spins web like
bright yellowish silk, the central net
OF which is five feet in diameter, while
the supporting lines or guys, as they
are called, measure sometimes ten or
twelve feet. The spider seldom bites
or stings, but should any one try to
catch him bite he will, and, though not
yenomous, his jaws are as powerful as
birds beak.
The bodies of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated, being bright
gold or scarlet underneath, while the
upper part is covered with the most
delicate slate colered fur.
So strong are the webs that birds the
size of larks are frequently caught
| therein, and even the small but pow
| erful scaly lizard falls a victim. A
writer says that he has often sat and
watched the yellow monster-measur-
ing, when waiting for his prey, with his
legs stretched out, fully six inches
| Striding across the middle of the net
and noted the rapid manner in which
| he winds his stout threads round the
unfortunate captive
He usually throws the coils about the
| head until the wretched victim is first
! blinded and then choked. In many I'M
| frequented dark hooks of the jungle
| you come across skeletons of small
birds caught in these terrible snares.

THE sAls OF EGYPT.
A Warning Runner Who Bellows
Like q Bull as He Goes.

N II
Like Bull as He Goes.
The sails is a runner who keeps in
front of carriage and warns common
people out of the way and who beats
them with a stick If they do not hurry
up about it. -
1t is obvious that to do this he MUST
run quickly. Most men when they run
bend their bodies forward. and keep
their mouths closed in order to safe,
their wind. The sails runs with: His
shoulders thrown back and. trumpet.
ing like an enraged elephant. He holds
his long wand at his side like nus
ket and not trailing in his hand like a
walking stick, and he wears a soft
shirt of white stuff and sleeveless
coat buried in gold. lace.
He is a perfect ideal of color and
movement, and as he runs he bellows
like bull Or roars as you have heard
lion roar at feeding times in a
menagerie. r.
/. There are sometimes two of them
running abreast, dressed exactly alike
and with the upper part of their bodies
as rigid: as the wand pressed against
their sides and with the ends of their
scarf and, the long tassel streaming
out behind
AS they yell lanlldebe1low donkeys and
carriages. and people scramble out of
their way until the carriage they pre-
cede has rolled rapidly by. Only
princesses of the royal harem and con-
suls general and the heads of the army
of occupation and the Egyptian army
are permitted two sails; other people
may have one.
