Materializing the Flying Dutchman.

A strange sea phantom, which very
probably has helped to create the
legend of the Flying Dutchman, is
stated to have been run to earth by.
the Argentine Government. Many
vessels have reported after rounding
the Horn that they have sighted what
seemed to be a derelict vessel, or one
in need of assistance. sailing in
through the straits with decks awash.
Vessels have run aground while try
ing to get near this mysterious ap-
partition, under the belief that there
must be a navigable passage for it
to sail in. Now it has been finally
identified in LIE Marie Strait, one of
a number of jagged rocks, which at
five miles distance has the appear
ance of a bark running under short
sails. Probably the white sails of
the visionary vessel are produced by
the sea bird whitened upper parts Of
the crag; the same course has often
led to the lonely islet of Rockall,
which lies out in the Atlantic to the
west of the Hebrides and was the
grave Of a Norwegian emigrant ship

A General Information Bureau.

In the little city of Downs, Kan, {
tri6e over 200 niles west of Kansas
City, at the junction of two railroads,
a woman sits at her desk in a snug
little library building, and with the
use of the rural telephone system
does reference work for the teachers
and pupils in the public schools in
country and in town for many miles
around.
"Tell me something about John
Hay" is the request of a schoolboy
away out on the high prairie south OF
the Solomon River. II am writing
an essay ard 1 wish you to help me-"
comes the small voice of a girl in a
white school house twenty miles dis
tant.
Mrs. D. E.. Allen-she is the
Downs librarian-makes a note of
the request and hangs up the tele-
phone receiver. Then she searches
a1ncng the 1900 volumes of her IL
brary until she finds the information
desired, and in a few minutes she
transmits it over the wires, strung
along country roads, to the pupil

chosen was the 14th of December,
but the funeral of the 18th furnished
IN outline for the incidents. The
Freemasons, the representatives or
the patriotic societies, and other citi-

Of a century ago. Here a dirge was
played by the band, Bishop Ran
dolph, of the southern diocese Of
Virginia, read a prayer, an octette
from the Grand Lodge Of the District
Of Columbia sang a hymn, and the
Grand Master Of Masons for Colorado
delivered an address. Then the pro-
cession moved to the present tomb.
The Grand Masters of the thirteen
original States stood in line in front
of the tomb, faced by a semicircle
of the Grand Masters of other States
and foreign jurisdictions, while the
Grand Lodge Of Virginia formed
in a circle around the tomb, holding
hands. The Grand Master Of Vir-
ginia called for tributes, first from
the original thirteen States, and thea
from the East, West, North and
South, respectively. After brief re-
sponses, the Masonic di%gnitaries re-
turned to the east side Of the man

WASHINGTON IN WALL STREET

Sublime, where %traffic's pillows beat
A nations wealth about his feet,
He stands; upon the surging street
He looks benignly down.
He hears the distant, wall-hid sea,
The silver chime of Trinity,
And, voicing passion. grief or glee,
Our Authenticated town.
And, up and down, our tasks we ply
With rapid step and needless eye,
Alert alone to sell and buy;
But when the day goes dim,
When evening brings its sweet release
From toll and care, when tumults cease,
When twilight crowns his brow with pesee
The children come to him.
Rejoicing, free, in careless grace
They climb the massy granite base;
Unawed, they view that noble face,
They swarm the brazen knees
Whose polished surface now denies
The gray Of age that artists prize;
But more than art is all that lies
In love of such as these.
What matters race, or hue, or creed?
Though born to wealth or born to need,
Or sprung of poor plebeian seed
Or proud patrician stem,
From lewly hut or lordly hail.
By these his land shall. rise or fall.
His hand outstretched above them all,
Their father blesses them.

FORMAL EXECUTIONS.
In Brussels Death Sentence is Never
Actually Carried Out.

lAStuRhJ
The tourists who, Drawing the driz-
cling rain, visited the Grand Place at
Brussels last week between IL and
IL In the forenoon must have wit
messed a curious sight, tho meaning
of which they probably did not I'M
derstand. This was the erection in
the middle of the place of the tree of
justice by the myrmidons Of the exc
| cutioner. Brussels has still it's exc
%cutioner, and the spot on which the
machine was placed is that marked
out for centuries as the place Of pub
lie execution. 1t was there that the
great leaders of the revolted mobiles,
the Counts Egmon and Horne, were
executed, and where all executions
took place until the removal of the
scaffold to the Port de Hal. Capital
punishment is still legal in Belgium.
AID sentence of death is not infre-
quently passed in this country, but
since his accession to the throne i
has been practically abolished By
King Leopold H., who uses the roya:
prerogative Of mercy in every in
stance in which a malefactor is sen.
fenced to death, committing the sen
fences, it Is said, out of flial piety, ir
memory of a wish Of his mother.
By a curious and, even for a muir.
derer, a harsh custom, although the
culprit's life is spared in such cases.
the sentence Is allowed to stand, the
criminals name is struck out of the
civil records as If he were dead, and
for the remainder of his life he is
kept in solitary confinement, secluded
from all the world, and soon abso-
lutely forgotten by all except his jail
ers. On the day such a criminal
would be executed but for the Glenn
ency Of the Crown, a similacrum Of a
scaffold is erected and the execution
er, escorted by police, repairs to the
place of execution. There finding no
subject to his hand, he contents him
self with posting a copy of the iudg-
rlent of the court ordering the eyecu-
ton on the scaffold for all the world
to read. The suggestion is that the
criminal has escaped, but that bad he
been within reach Of the executioner's
arm he would assuredly have been
decapitated. When those who are
convicted OF serious crimes really
succeed in escaping the same action
is carried out; the executioner posts
up a copy of their sentence on the
scaffold in such a name as that it
serves at once to draw ignominy on
them, and to act as an advertisement
that they are wanted by the police.
1t happens frequently that criminals
are in flight at the moment sentence
is passed on them in this country, for
bail Is nearly always allowed and
naturally those who anticipate heavy
sentences make desperate efforts to
fly or hide. The sentence nailed up
was one on fraudulent public Off
!cial, who has been sentenced in his
absence to twenty years penal servi-
tude and a fine of 10000 francs. 1t
is a considerable time since he fed.
and he will hardly be fetched back to
Belgium to undergo his punishment
so outraged justice has to be salts
fed with mailing him in the pillory-
on paper.-Lcndol Globe. :

TALL TELEPHONE O L
One in Washington 12O Feet High is
a Single Stick Of Fir.

q Slh6IC oI4Sh VI
One of the tallest telephone poles
in the world Is where the wires of
the Pacific States Telephone Com
pany cross the Chehalis River near
Aberdeen, Wash.
For some years past a pole ninety
feet high was sufficient to keep the
wires clear Of river craft. But the
increasing. passage of ocean steamers
made a higher pole necessary, and a
new one 1875 feet high was set up.
This pole is one single stick of Wash
ington fir, eighteen inches at the butt
and eight inches at the top. The pole
weighs 5000 pounds,
The stick vas cut at a point twelve
miles distant and towed down the
river, where it was erected by six
men using a twelve horsepower
hosting engine. The American Tele-
phone Journal says that for making
attachment to the pole and moving 1t
a ive-eighths inch steel cable was
employed, run through ten-inch steel
blocks.
The pole was set twelve feet in the
ground and guyed with four. steel
stranded wires at the top, and also
guyed about forty feet from the top
with four fve-sixteenths inch strand
ed wires. :, The guys are fastened to
dead men set in the ground to a
depth of eight feet~- These dead men
are of cedar 8x8 inches in section
and seven feet long.

A Hemstitched Guinpc.

An easy and very quick way to
make quite an elaborate guimpe
yoke is to draw the thread sufficient
ly to form sixteenth of an inch wide
stripes at inch and a half distances.
Hemstitch both edges and embroider
some pretty simple vine, or else
featherstitch in vine effect on the
parts between. The drawn lines can
end at graduated distances to form
the yoke as exactly as possible the
size to show above the dress edge,
and thus avoid any extra or wasted
work.
