The First Armnred Shin,

According to the best authorities
on curiosities of the navy and war
fare in general, the first armored
vessel was launched in 1880. It
was one Of the feet manned by
the Knights of St. John and was
entirely covered with sheets of
lead. The accounts Of the times
leave lis III darkness as to the thick
ness Of this lead armor, bat they
are very positive in the statement
that they we're OF sufficient strength
to Successfully resist all the shots
of hal day" At the siege of Gibral-
tar in 1852 the French and Span
iards used war vessels which were
armored with Tight iron boom
proofing Owe their decks and to the
waters edge" The very first prac-
tical use Of wrought iron plates as a
defense for the sides of vessels was
by the French in the Crimean war
in 1859.

THE SCARED WRIST.
Queer Dream Story Connected With
the 6eresford Family.

the 6eresford Family.
For three generations the Beres-
ford family has handed down as
substantially true a remarkable
dream story which is connected with
a small pocketbook and a piece Of
black ribbon in possession Of a mem.
Der of the family. So we'll known
and so well authenticated was the
( story that a member of the Beres-
ford family printed for private cir
eulation a short account of the facts,
of which, without impugning the
sincerity of his relatives, he endeav-
ored to give a simple explanation.
The narrative is a love story as
I well as a dream story. The heroine
OF it is Nicola Hamilton, the young
wife of Sir Tristram Beresford.
This yong lady appeared at the
breakfast table one morning very
agitated and pale and with her left
wrist bound with a piece of black
ribbon. She replied to her hus-
bands inquiries by entreating him
to ask her no questions. She then
said that her brother, Lord Tyrone,
of whom she had been very fond,
had died on the preceding Thurs
day, which subsequently pro7ed TO
be the case.
1t seems that in the night Lady
Beresford had dreamed hat her
brother sat by her bedside although
she declared that he had indeed sat
there) and, after telling her whom
her child should marry and that her
husband would die before her, warn
ed her with the utmost yehemence
against marrying the second time.
of you do remaIry," her dream
visitor had said, "you will suffer
from your husbands i'll treatment
until your death at forty-seven. Re-
sist every temptation to a second
marriage" Requiring some proof
of her brothers reality, he had, at
her request, touched her wrist with
his hand, whereupon the sinews had
shrunk and the nerves withered.
She showed her wrist, bound with
black ribbon. but declared that ii
had been forbidden her to uncover it.
When Sir Tristram died Lady
Beresford, in spite of all remon-
stranccs, Immediately sought abso-
lutte solitude and retirement. But,
life without friends proving unbcar-
able, she consented to exchange WIS.,
its with a single family of the neigh
borhood. In this family was a son
whom, after a time, she stroye in
vain TO regard with indifference.
Her love grew and ovcrpowcrcd her.
When the young nan declared his
passion size consented TO a private
union. All turned out as the dream
had foretOld. In a year or so her
husbands conduct was so bad that
she had to separate from him. At
forty-seven she died. After her
death her wrist was examined and
found to be as she described it.
The most remarkable of the facts
connected with this strange story
the Scared wrists explained by
the writer of the pamphlet referred
to above as follows: He considers
that Lady Beresford, who knew that
her brother, Lord Tyrone, was ILL.,,
dreamed that he was dead and in
consequence became 30 violently ex-
cited as TO iniure her wrist. In the
morning she bound it up so tightly
that in course Of time the sinews
shrank and withered.

CHARLOTTE CUSNMAW.
Bitter Ending Of The One Love Affair
of the Famous Aeteess.

Charlotte Cushman, the actress,
was in love but once in her life.
She met in Cincinnati, where she
was playing, an actor named Clark,
with whom she fell in love.
Through her efforts Clark was adj
vanced to leading man in the com.
pany, and the course of true love
ran smoothly.
One night the actress met a
strange woman behind the scenes
between the acts.
The woman came up to her and
addressed her thus:
"You are Charlotte Cushman, the
great actress. Haven't you got
enough men to admire you without
coming between nan and wife and
robbing me of my husband?"
"Your husband!" cried Miss
Cushman, getting excited.
eyes, and you have taken or you
r trying to take him from me-"
continued the ragged woman, look
ing Miss Cushman full in the face.
"Who is your husband?"
Conrad Clark" replied the wo-
man, "the father Of this child"
pointing to a half starved, thin lit,
tie child in her arms.
Miss Cushman started as il she
had been shot.
She went through her part that
night-acted it splendidly, brought
down the house; then, after the
performance, she sent for Clark TO
come to her dressing room, Clark
knocked and then opened the door.
She brought forward to him his
wife and baby, who had been wait
ing in the dressing ROOF to receive
him.
Such a reception! Charlotte
Cushman lever looked or acted so
grandly on the stage in all her life
rs she did that night in her dress
ing room. She waved Clark away
with a greater majesty than eve as
Queen Catherine she waved away
Cardinal Wolsey and then, going to
her hotel. probably she had a good
crying spell.
But she never loved again.-Ex,
change.

Chinese Ostentation.

The ostentation of the rich
Chinese is noticeable in their frv
neral obsequies. Even if by chance
a man should desire an unpreten-
tious burial the thought Of such a
thing would be abhorrent to his
heirs, who would consider it a slight
both to themselves and to their
family gods. In consequence a
rich mans funeral is made as gor,
geous and costly as his can will
allow. The number Of pallbearers
varies according to the status OF
the deceased. Thirty-two or even
more are seen. Esprit chairs" for
the use of the dead Croesus in tho
future life. are borne in the process
sion, together with ~venerated OBJ
jects intended for the Precipitation
Of the gods.
