AN ILL FATED SHIP
Mystery and Tragedy That Encoms
paesed the Great Eastern.

Mystery and Tragedy That Encon's
paesed the Great Eastern.
There was mystery about that III
fated ship. Nothing went right with
her. She stuck at the launch, and 1t
cost an extra $35O,OO0 over and above
the sum set aside for the purpose to
get her into the water. On her trial
trip her boilers burst killing some OF
the stokers. Then she ran aground
and carried on so outrageously that
her crew thought her surely bewitched.
She had started badly. While she was
building a pay clerk sent by one Of
the contractors with $4,000 In wages
for the men disappeared. 1t was not
unnaturally assumed that he had bolt
ed with the money. His wife and
family were left unprovided for, with
the stigma Of his supposed crime upon
them.
Thirty years after her launch the
Great Eastern went into the cemetery
at Birkenhead to be broken up. While
she was being taken to pieces the ship
breakers discovered between her inner
and outer castings Of steel the skeleton
of a man. Papers which had fallen
from his clothes enabled his identity
to be traced. 1t was the skeleton OF
the pay clerk who thirty years before
had disappeared. There was no mon
ey; that was never recovered.
The supposition is that the poor Eel
low on going on to the ship was pounc
ed upon by workmen who knew tina
he had the money with him; that they
stunned him and, having small place
In the side Of the vessel to complete
crammed his body in and built him W
In 1t. No reward would have induced
a sailor to sail in that vessel had h'
known of the terrible secret sealed vi

TALKING Through tho Nose.

SO called talking through the nose"
Is not talking through the nose at all,
but rather failure to do so-that is,
instead Of letting the tone flood into
the nasal cavity, to be REINFORCED
there by striking against the walls Of
the cavity, which act as sounding
boards for the tone confined within
that cavity, we shut or the cavity and
refuse the tone its natural reinforce
ment. 1t takes on as result thin.
unresonant quality which we call ma
sal, although it is thin and unpleasing
because 1t lacks true nasal resonance.
The only remedy lies In ceasing to
shut or the cavlty.-Katherane Jewell

Ono Thing That Helps Most TO Mako
Home Homcly.
This 1 say: Go back and pick up lost
good habits-the omitted amenities of
life. Especially put back into your
house the fireplace. 1t is the one
thing that helps most to make home
homely. Build it big and broad. Let
there be no glmcracks of fancy wood
work anywhere near it. Let 1t be only
brick or stone. Then let the hearth be
broad and wide. Make 1t so large ev-
cry way that you need never fear for
swapping coal. Away with mats, for
they are combustible! But stool
that Is another thing. Here you can
forget the stocks and the Office and
the store Here you can dream Of rest
and peace Here 1t Is possible that
some Of you have Tom and Harry and
Bessie about your knees. There is no
better way to reconstitute the family.
It Is the chief want Of these modern
days.
The world is never quite so indie
pendent or we quite 80 care free with
out fire. There are vastness and lack
of outline to summer day. We get
our feelings mixed up with the cosmos
The fireplace narows our lives some
what, but 1t completes and unifcs

"Lafcadio Hearn, that wonderful
writer, worked on newspapers In his
youth" said a publisher, land the
ruthless way his studies were chang
ed. cut and butchered was a great woe
to his heart
an after years Hearn took a mali
cious Joy in collecting stories about
editors-editors and their superior and
omniscient way with manuscript
zone of his stories was of an editor
to whom subscriber said:.

ages of man In today's paper, Mr..
Sheers; enjoyed it immensely. Do
you know, though, thought that 1t
was originally written the seven ages
Of manp
$50 1t was, sir; so 1t was said Edi-
tor Sheers pompously. Yes, the ex-
tract was originally written the seven
ages of man, but had to cut 1t down
for lack Of space
"Another story concerned weather
report. A reporter, discussing the
weather wrote that winter still lin
eered in the Zap Of spring.
"The editor as he read over the arti-
Gle called the reporter up to his desk
and told him that he would cut out
that sentence about winter lingering
In springs lap. He said the idea was

of the East.
While journeying across the desert
Mrs A. Goodrich Freer, author Of I'm
Syrian Saddle met lonely travel
or bound for Medeba. On hearing that
the caravan was bound for the same
place he asked permission to join
them. incidentally he furnished an
Illustration Of the difference between
necessities and luxuries.
We were very grateful, says the
writer, for coffee and an excellent
lunch of sausage, ported meat and
jam, with white bread, brought from
Jerusalem. We ate our dainties with
some sense Of guilt as the newcomer
produced his lunch Of dates and figs.
Dates and figs, he informed US, were
the natural food of desert wanderers,
sufficing to the body, stimulating to
the mind. The wheat, the flesh, above
all the alcohol of civilization, were
mere irrelevancies.
Was It not Diet such as this-and he
waved a pair Of sensitive hands over
his ascetic larder-which had enabled
him to reply to the inquiry Of per-
sonage as to how many hours a day
he could ride In the desert, Twenty
four, your majesty, since a day does
not contain twenty fver
Was 1t not on a diet Of figs and dates
|, that he had ridden sixty hours without
dismounting? Was 1t your meat eater,
your wine drinker, who remained
sound and wholesome when necessity
obliged him to refrain from ablution
for twenty-one days?
At this point he carefully counted
his date stones, observed that two
more were yet due to his appetite and
finished his frugal luncheon.
