THE PURSER'S JOKE.
Why Religious Services Were Not Held
on That Trip.

Why Religious Services Were Not Held
on That Trip.
On most of the big ocean steamers
minister is usually found among the
passengers, and invariably he is called
upon on Sunday to conduct religious
service in the main dining saloon. Oc-
casionally the man Of the cloth seeks
the purser and asks if he may conduct
a service on the Sabbath. A case OF
this sort happened recently on one OF
the Red D steamers on the run from
New York to La Guayra. a young
minister who three days before the
steamer sailed had taken orders from
a seminary, and day later a wife
asked the purser if he might conduct
religious service on the following day,
which was Sunday. The purser re-
plies that the dining saloon was at bis
disposal and that the passengers
would be informed. At what hour
shall the service Begin" asked the
Young minister The purser rubbed
his brow Il moment and replied that
he could begin at nine bells" The
minister and his bride appeared in the
dining saloon ut 9 o'clock in the morn
ing and waited four hours for the con-
rrecation, which did not come. On
the following day he listened again for
mine BELLS" but heard them not.-NeW

THE FRIGATE PELICAN.
1t Is Small Bird VIII, an Enormous
Stretch of Wing.

1t Is a Small Bird With an Enormous
Stretch Of Wing.
The frigate pelican, or man-of-war
bird, is usually found between the
tropics. Although wher stripped Of its
feathers it is hardly larger than
pigeon, yet no man caa touch at the
same time. the tips G., its extended
wings. The long wing bones are ex-
ceedingly light, and be whole ap-
paratus of air cells is extremely de-
veloped, so that its rea: weight is very
trifing. It flies at :: great height
above the water and from that eleva-e
ton pounces down on dsh, especially
preferring the poor, prosecuted flying
fish for its prey.
Under the throat Of the frigate peli-
can is large pouch Of deep red
color, which can be dis!ended with air
at the pleasure of the bird. The pouch
is larger and of a more brilliant red IN
the male than in his consort, and the
general plumage Of the female is not so
bright as that Of the male.
Although its swiftness Of wing and
general activity enable it to snatch
fish from the surface Of the water or
to pounce upon the flying fish before it
can again seek the protection Of its
native element, yet it too often uses
it's powers in robbing other birds OF
their lawful prey It is enabled IN
some mysterious way, to find its way
home by night, even though it may be
400 or 500 miles from land The length
Of the male bird is three feet and the
expause Of wing eight feet.

AN OLD TIME DRINK.
Refreshing Switched and the Way It
Used to Be Made.

Refreshing Switched and the Way It
Used to Be Made.
They don't make it nowadays-not
mostly. But they used to make it
years ago, and how good it was! The
corn lot had to be cultivated, and it
was long way from the house, and it
was very hot up there on the hillside.
When they loaded the cultivator ana
the hoes and spades on the stone boat
and h:tched the two horses to that dry
ground vessel, they slowed away IS
part of the cargo big stone jug. And
when the corn lot was reached the jug
was slowed away IN q shady renee
corner under the butternut tree and
covered over with grass to keep 1t
cool What was in the jug? Switched.
It was made Of vinegar, molasses, gin
ger and water. The water was drawn
from the spring beside the kitchen and
was as cold as ice could have made it.
And the stone jug kept it cold. The
vinegar gave it a pleasant acidity, the
ginger little 'stang'-that's what they
called it up in tthe country"-and the
molasses just sweetened it bit. And
how good it was to go over into the
fence corner and take { few swallows
out Of that jug of switched!
Come on, let's go anG get glass OF
ice cream soda. It will be somewhere
about the hundredth part as good as
draft Of switched out Of that stone jug
in the fence corner in lie corn lot up
in the country.-Utica Observer.

Shesthinc a Ship.

Sheathing ship is covering the bot

SECRET WRITING.
How Letters May Be Made Safe From
Pryins Eyes.

How Letters May Be Made Safe From
Pryins Eyes.
Even with the most unromantc OF
us occasions sometimes arise when we
/ should like to make some memoran-
dunn OF write some letter which cannot
be read except by those we wish to do
81. Here is a simple method:
}Soa!, a sheet Of note paper in cold
Sater and lay it perfectly fat upon a
name Of glass. Place above it another
sheet, d:y this time, and on the upper
Sheet !::rite Your message with fairly
hard ;.>ucii You now destroy the dry
parcr and allow all the moisture to
cva:;;.::a;e fronl the wet piece. Don't
h5:i: il to the ire. but let it dry nat
ucall:;-. If you then examine it close
" YOU will see not the faintest trace OF
writing, but if you moisten the paper
once more and hold it up to the light
you can read quite plainly all you
wrote. 1t will show up like the water
mark on postage stamp. This meth
cd, by the way, is sometimes adopted
by conyicts. They use their cruel
cans instead Of glass and a sharp piece
Of wood for pencil.
Another way is less dirty and even
more effective. Lay several sheets Of
paper on a fat surface and write upon
the top one. Then remove the bottom
sheet. on which no impression appears.
If you hold this in the vapor Of iodine,
however, the writing will turn brown
and be quite legible. The explanation
IS plain The note paper contains
starch, which on being pressed turns
to hydramide, substance which is
acted on by iodine in the manner de-
scribed.-Answers.
