that the i'll fated steamer had
rammed one in fog or snow squall.
The sea anchor on that second life
boat sighted by the Coventry gave
the only faint support to specula-
ton.
Those oars and that bit Of spar

mony to some despairing effort Of
men in peril, meant only one thing
"a storm, or, rather, the spending
of a storm-for no lifeboat could
keep upright in winter storm on
the Atlantic. A storm, then, it
had been, said the men who tried to
read the rebus of the sea, such a
storm as raises the waves of mid
Atlantic to a height of fifty, sixty,
even seventy feet from crest to
trough. The Naronic had been
overwhelmed by one of these waves
and, staunch as she was, had wal
lowed for awhile, then dropped like
a plummet.-Robert Wells Ritchie
in Harper's.

Three Stjrs and a WALTON,

Eighty years ago in Edinburgh.
Scotland, it was the custom for a
man to walk through the poorer
portion of the town every day at
noon, bearing large shin bone of
beef. His cry was, "Three stirs and
a wallop for bawbee!" CA bawbee
is halfpenny.) All the house
wives had their vegetables stewing
for the family soup and gladly paid
their bawbees for the privilege of
three stirs and a wallop (the final
flourish) with the bone, which was
supposed to impart a fine meat
flavor to the stew.

Homes In italy.

Speaking of homes and ways of
living, Mr.. Luigi villari in italian
Life in Town and Country reveals
a curious state of affairs. In Italian
cities there are no slum districts.
The poorest of the poor may be
lodged in the same palace with peo-
pie whose income runs over $4,000
annually. The poor are packed
away in the garrets or in the Gel
lars, to be sure, and their misery
must be rendered all the more acute
by the sight and scent of such Law
ish living. High class Italians have
no objections whatever to dwelling
over a shop or place of business.

Little Sisters Reioinder.

A certain young woman has a
little sister who is much inclined
to ask numerous questions, and,
though she is sometimes a little
slow about understanding things in
general, she is as quick to see a
point as most little girls of six. The
other day little sister asked big
sister the direction to the home of
new acquaintance. Big sister
tried her best to make the way
plain to no avail and finally, becom-
ing exasperated, exclaimed:
ooh, follow your nose, Nan, and
you will finally find the place"
"Well, if you ever follow your
nose," came the quick retort, "you
will go up and up and up and be
an angel by and by, which you're
not now"
Which reference to a nose in
clined to be pug ended the contro-
versy.

MYSTERY OF A LOST SHIP.
Fate of the Big Freishter Naronie
Buried In the Atlantic.


The big freighter Naronic was
one of the boats whose fate the
insolence of the Atlantic keeps
secret. The Naronic on the day of
her launching was the largest and
strongest ship of her class in all
the merchant navies. Twin screws,
then an innovation in freighters,
gave her tremendous power. Eight
bulkheads were counted as perfect
protection for her hull. The big
gest, safest, swiftest sea carrier was
what shipping men called her. The
Naronic made six round trips from
Liverpool to New York, justifying
the boasts of her owners on each
trip. Then one day in February she
nosed out of her berth on the Mer-
sey, full laden and fully manned.
bound for New York. Captain
William Roberts was her command
ing officer; a crew of sixty worked
her, and fourteen cattlemen were
booked as passengers. The $3.50
ton ship was weeks overdue when
the first whisper of a disaster came
sitting in from the Atlantic. The
British steamer Coventry put into
Bremen, out of Fernandina, with
word that when about 500 miles
southeast of st. Johns, Newfound-
land, it had one morning passed a
lifeboat, riding bottom up on the
long swell. The name on the stern

spar, was dragging astern at the end

above the wash of the waves, were
the black letters Naronic. The
waterlogged lifeboat was unoccu-
pied. No other trace of the Naronic
was found until FIVE months later
when another of her lifeboats was
picked up of the Azores. This, too
was empty.
Steamship men tried to recon

Italians never use the number
thirteen in making up the numbers
of their lotteries. The superstition
of the people is against it. The
Turks are so prejudiced against the
word thirteen" that it has virtu-
ally been expunged from their vo-
cabulary. No house in Paris bears
the number 49," and the persons
called "quarterziennes" or "four-
teen," are held in reserve to make
a fourteenth guest at dinner par
ties. The Norwegians never allow
thirteen persons at table because
Loki, the god Of malice in the
Morse mythology, once made the
thirteenth guest at celestial BAN
quet and occasioned confusion.

MISSED A TURKEY DINNER.
1t Enraeed the Ships Captain, but
Amused Admiral Farrasut.


Admiral Farragut had a keen
sense of humor, and on one voyage
we had a chance to prove it. 1t
was a ridiculous incident, but 1t
was a test of the admiral's good
nature, and it happened at sea on
Thanksgiving day The steward
had spent some time and expense IN
preparing a big turkey that had
been roasted to turn, and he took
it from the oven that it might not
be overdone while he assisted IN the
table decorations. The galley was
steaming with the odors of turkey,
plum pudding and other delectabIe
viands, and the trusting steward
raised the galley hatch to let the
steam escape. He might have been
more suspicious if he had seen the
maintop men shifting the galley
fumes. They dropped a line while
an accomplicc below gave two half
bitches around the bic bird, and
away it went upward and aloft to
the main top
When the steward came back he
found nothing but little gravy left
in the pan. The turkey was missing,
and it now became his painful duty
to notify the captain. He awk-
wardly apologized for the missing
bird, but was not prepared for the
fury of the captain.
"Who stole that turkey:' cX-
claimed Captain Pennock. The
wtlkin rang with his maledictions,
and he offered a reward for any in
formation about the theft. but no
one aboardwould be mean enough to
tell on the maintop men, and the
admiral, | believe, enjoyed the joke
as much as the men themselves.
With Captain Pennock it was diff
fercnt story, and wherever he
walked he was entertained with
cries and loud whispers. "Who stole
that turkey?" The boom covers
made a good cabinet for those mys-
terious voices, "Who stole that
turkey" Al points of the COM
pass disturbed him. Mufllcd tones
from behind the guns were echoed
more loudly in the rigging, "Who
stole that turkey?" These saluta-
tions kept the captain turning from
one point to another; then the
boom covers would roll out again
the trying question, "Who stole that
turkey?"
Pennock, at last exasperated be
yond endurance, doubled up his fist,
and, indicating with a sweep of the
