ARTICLES LOST AT SEA.
Hats and othsr Wearing Apparel Per
quisites for Neptune.

Did you ever speculate on what be
comes Of the hats and other articles OF
wearing apparel that find their way
into the sea from the steamers that
are constantly plying back and forth?
Hardly a ship steams from one port
to another without somebody's hat or
boa or shawl blowing overheard. Thou
sands of them have been lost that way
and scarcely a single one has been
recovered They are dashed to bits
by the waves, blown to shreds and
otherwise destroyed.
But once in blue moon a hat does
come back to land, as in the case not
long ago when a large fish was caught.
In cleaning it q woman's hat almost
intact, was found in the stomach of
the denizen OF the deep, There is
reason to believe that this bit Of fem
mine wearing apparel had not lodged
very long in its curious resting place,
for even a fish is not proof against
indigestion or its equivalent when it
comes to eating straw braid, feathers
and flowers. This hat has been pre-
served as a specimen of considerable
interest on account of its unique
travels. OF course il the fair owner
ever makes claim on it and can
identify her property it will be re-
turned to her,

skIIIfuI European Horssmen.


Gen. Louis Berta, inspector of cal
vary in the italian army, is one of
the finest horsemen in Europe. The
general has trained man and horse to
negotiate serious obstacles and to ar
rive at such a pitch Of perfection that
there is hardly any obstacle which
cannot be overcome.
Chief among these conquered diff
culties are the now famous "glis-
sades," or slides down steep slopes
made with such astonishing success
by the Cavalry School of Tor de
Quinto at Rome After having excited
the wonder and applause of all sports
men, civil and military, these glis-
sades have taken their place among
the regulation exercises of foreign
cavalry schools
Not only does the general himself
perform the gissades which he has
thus made so popular and important a
part of his system but he has a
daughter, Mile. Inez Berta, an accom-
pHshed horsewoman, who can do the
glissades as well as her father or
anv cayalrYman in the Italian army

Ak IN TREASON TRIALS.
Sharp Edre Turned Toward Prisoner
Wien Sentence Is Pronouncea.

Every one is aware of the dread
fully significant part The execudoners
ak plays in a trial for high treason.
The sharp symbol Of death is carried
before The prisoner, with its blunt side
turned toward him SO long as he has
not been sentenced says Macmillon's
Magazine, and just before sentence is
pronounced the SHARP edge is turned
his way
Evelyn, who was present at the trial
Of Lord Stafford, in 1898, tells us that
the ak was turned edgeways to the
unfortunate nobleman as soon rs it
was ascertained that the voting of the
peers went against him-an effective
but CHASTITY piece of stage manage
ment which must have had a sicken-
ing fascination for the unhappy and
probably innocent man In those days,
now happily gone by, no one seems
to have reelected on the unnecessary
cruelty Of narrowing the feelings OF
men about to die by such shocking
judicial by-play.
Not every prisoner treated this
purely symbolic but otherwise super
fuqus and unpleasant ceremony as
contemptuously as did Lord Balmer-
inc. When the three coaches con-
yeyed the Lords Kiimarnock, Balmer-
inc and Cromartie from the Tower to
be sentenced at Westminster, on July
2S, 1746, a difficulty arose 1t was
not laid down by prescription or use
in which coach if there We're more
than one that the fatal ak had to be
carried. ooh, put the thing in
here" cried brave old Balmerino, Il
don't care"
Yet Notwithstanding his contempt
for this horlid syNbol, the undaunted
old man cheerfulIy suffered death for
his attachment to another symbol, the
White Cockade; but Lord Kilmarnock,
in the next coach, was dreadfully
frightened, as he showed himself to
be, by his thorough realization of
what the awful ak would mean to
him. He inquired infinitely into all
the details of an execution wanted
the governor of the Tower to tell him
whether bis head would roll or re-
bound, and when on the scaffold he
saw the executioner dressed in white,
with red apron, he whispered to
his. chaplain: Home, how horriblew

The Lives Of Fish.

sThe normal length of life of our com
mon small minnows probably rarely
exceeds four or five years, and may
be much shorter; but there are few
satisfactory observations on this
point No general rule can be laid
down regarding the age of fishes or
the relation between age and size. It
is known that the salmon Of the Pa
cific coast, which enter the river in
such immense shoals, live to be four
or FIVE years old, and then invariably
die after once laying their eggs One

Success is the most badly abused
word in the world The railway mag
note who, by manipulating stock mar

critics, regards himself as a successful
man. The burglar who blows open a
safe and escapes with the money he
was after considers himself success
full. The buccaneer who filed his
