MY WARD.
A "winsotne creature is my -ward
You scarce can tMak how fair her face
is-
A "wromaii all of sweet accord.
Yet -well possessed of girlish graces.
. Lrst she Dan Cupid's -work might read -On
love, -with other dangerous knowledge.
And his instructions blindly heed.
And wed, I sent her off to college.
Of Latin, French, she learned a store
And delved in science and tha 'logics.
She played at football; palled an oar
And wrote an essay on the doges.
She graduated, pretty Prue,
Three prizes from the school she carried.
Four thousand dollars saw her through
And now she's going to he married.
The dregs of disappointment's lees,
You, mocking, say. Sackcloth and ashes
Are met former, and, if I please,
Who cheats my aims deserves some lashes.
Ah, no! 3y arm is round her waist
Congratulations, sir, are tardy
For now, you see, she has the taste
To wed the man she calls her "guardie."

A SEA SECRET.
BY C B. LEWIS.
In the year 1849 the Hon. East India
company's ship the Star of India set
sail from Madras for London, having on
"board over 200 passengers, and among
them Lord Glenham, General Swift,
Lady Artrwell and her two daughters,
and other men and women of note at
homo and abroad. Aside from her gen
eral cargo, the ship carried treasure to
the amount of $250,000. The bankers at
Madras figured out that the passengers
must have had at least $100,000 among
them, while an Indian potentate, on his
wav to be received as a guest of royalty,
had & strong box of jewelry and. gems
valutd at eo great a sum that no one
dared speak it It was intended that
the rhip should" be convoyed as far as
the cape of Good Hope by a man-of-war,
as there were plenty of pirate
craft still afloat, but the government
vessel met with a mishap at sea and
was detained somewhere, and the Star
finally decided to sail without her, and
there was little fear but that she could
take care of herself. Two days out of
Madras she was sighted and reported,
but that was the last seen or heard of
her until the year 1864.
The loss of the Star made a great sen
sation for several reasons, and when it
was finally concluded that she had been
lost various vessels were sent in search
of her, and every effort was made to as
certain her fate. In 1856 a Malay sailor
who died aboard of an English tea ship
told her captain that the Star was at
tacked and captured by pirates to the
south of Ceylon, and that he was one of
the men engaged in the attack. He said
there were five native crafts, and that
they came upon the Star in a calm and
carried her by boarding. The ship made
a long and stubborn resistance, but was
finallv captured, and the pirates had
suffered such heavy loss that in revenge
they killed evervbody to the last child,
They then looted the ship and scuttled
herttand the plunder was subsequently
divided on an island m tho China sea.
Some people believed this story end
some said it was absurd. The general
idea was that the Star foundered at sea
during a heavy gale. The dying state
ment of the pirate was never fully in
vestigated for some reason. So far as
the investigation went it was proved to
be a fact. The pirates had long been
scattered, many were doubtless dead,
and the idea of bringing the gang to
justice was given up as impossible.

crew of the English brig Swittsure,
which was makinc a survey of the
islands to the northeast of Madagascar.
At the Chagos group, as wc were pull
ing into land one dav, with seven men
in the boat, -we were upset in the srrf
and only two of us escaped death. My
companion was a sailor named Wallace,
and while in a half drowned state we
were swept along the coast of the island
by a current and finally thrown on
shore in a bit of a cove. A boat put off
from the brig as soon as the disaster
was noticed, but only two bodies were
recovered. The three others were pulled
down by the sharks before the boat got
to them. Believing this to nave been
the sad fate of all five no search was
made for the pair of Tis cast ashore, and
before we had recovered from our ex
haustion and prepared a signal the br;g
had departed for another field. The
island on which we were cast is one of
a group of nine, and the easternmost
one of all. It is likely the same today
as then, having plenty of fresh water,
most of it covered with verdure, and
wild fruits, shrimps and shellfish so
plentiful that a shipwrecked crew of 20
men could get along there for months.
"Wallace and I were inclined to look
tipon the affair as a lark. "We erected a
hut in the woods, procured fire by rub
bing two dry sticks together, and after
a thorough exploration of our domain,
which was not over two miles across in
any direction, we slept, ate and talked,
and had a pretty easy time of it.
We had been on the island about
three months, when we awoke one
morning to find the sea like a sheet of
glass and the air as still as death. The
sky was overcast, and yet of a coppery
color, and the birds on the island ap
peared to be in great alarm. Great
flocks of them came in from the sea,
and all along shore the fish wore leap
ing out of the water'as if it were pol
luted. After surveying things for awhile
"Wallace gave it as his opinion that we
were in for a typhoon or an earthquake.
The sulphury smell in the air inclined
him to the latter, and as soon as we had
eaten we started for the center of the
island. There was a high hill in the
center, bare of everything but a couple
of trees and a few bushes, and we sought
it on account of the tidal wave we knew
would surely follow an earthquake. As
to a disturbance of the earth, we were
helpless except to keep clear of the for
est. It was midday before anything oc
curred. The menacing look of the sky
and the sea increased, and fish by the
thousands drove-up on the sandy beach
to their death. Jret about noon, when
Tre wera wondering what it was to be,
the whole island suddenly began to heave
and tremble. For what seemed a full
minnte it was like riding a choppy sea
in a small boat, only the sensation was
strangely bewildering and made the
head swim.
There was more than one shock, bus
the first was the most violent and lasted
longest The three or four which suc
ceeded were thrills rather than shocks.
They ran through the island from east
to west and out to sea, and we heard a
fc chorus of what may be called shrieks of
distress from the birds with each vibra-
" tion." Jwo or three jninutes after the
fourth or fifth shock "Wallace stood up
and looked out upon the sea to the east
and shouted to me :
"Look, look, the tidal wave is com
ing in, and there's a big ship on the
crest of it."
I sprang up and followed'his gaze.
Ten. miles away there was a wall of wa
ter, which seemed to lift its white crest
almost to the sky and to reach north
and south as far as I could see. Riding
on this crest was a great ship, with her
three masts standing erect and some of
the yards across. For the first ten sec
onds tho wall seemed to stand still.
Then it came rolling on like a railroad
train, and almost before I could have
counted 20 it struck the shore of our
island and swept across it. The island
was a good 30 feet above water in every
part, while cn the hill we were at least
100, but all portions save the hill were
covered by at least ten feet. I had
my eye cn the ship alone. It came
straight for the hill, but as the wave
divided it was swept to the left and
struck the earth and was turned full
about. "While it hung there the waters
passed on, and, lo, at our feet, resting
almost on a level keel, was as ttrange a
sight as the eyes of a sailor ever beheld
It was a ship to be sure, but one had
to rub his eyes and look again and
again to bo certain cf it. There was the
great hull there the three masts up
aloft the yards, and there were scores
of ropes trailing about like slimy ser
pents. From stem to stern and from
keel to masthead the fabric was covered
with mud and slime and barnacle and
sea gras and shells, and as she rested
there the water poured off her decks
snd out of her hold in such a sobbing,
choking way as to bring the shivers.
Not a word had passed between the pair
of us while the wave raced in and
across tho island, and the ground below
us was clear of tho last water before
Wallace said:
"I think this ends it, and let ns both
thank God ! This ship was heaved up
from the bottom of the sea, where she
must have rested for a good many years,
but we'll have to wait a day or two be
fore we investigate."
After a couple of honrs, to let the
ground dry out a bit, wo descended tbe
hill to see what damage had been done.
About one-half the trees on the island
had been uprooted and carried out to
sea, and of our hut not a vestige re
mained. There was scarcely a stone as
large as a hen's egg cn the island pre
vious to the wave, but now we found
that hundreds of rocks had been distrib
uted around, while the dead fish were
so numerous that we were hours in
gathering them up and giving them to
the tide to bear away. Two hours after
the last shock the sky cleared, the sun
came out, and by night the island was
fairly dry in all parts. "We, however,
gave the ship all next day to get rid cf
her water and harden in the hot sun.
Yon are prepared to hear, of course,
that she proved to be the long lost Skit
of India. We found that out before we
had been aboard of her a quarter of an
hour, and later on wo had a dozen rea
sons for believing that the dying Malay
hart spoken the truth.
I tell you that ship was a queer sight.
Her ccf an bed had been hundreds of
fret deep, and the mud covered every
thing to the depth of a foot in some
places two or three. Neither one of us
had heard of the Star or her loss, but
we knew this wreck to be that of an In
diaman, and we went at it to clear
away the stuff and get into her. We
were a full week doing this, and at
every turn we came across evidences to
prove the story of the Malay. Three or
four of her guns were yet in place, and
from the way she had been knocked
about by cannon shot it was easy ta fig
ure that she had made a hard fight and
suffered great loss of life before she
gave iu. Even before we began work
we found the auger holes bored in her
bottom to scuttle her. The great cabin
and every stateroom had two feet of
mud on the floor, and I may tell you
that we worked hard for four weeks be
fere we got the hulk cleaned out.
"We made the ship our home for six
months and were then taken off by a
whaler, and our story was the first new?
received of the long lost ship. The Eng
lish government sent a man-of-war to
the island to overhaul the hulk, and mo
rnentos of her have long been on exhi
bition in the British museum. Nothing
could be more queer than the way we
found her, or, rather, the way she was
heaved up by the sea to be discovered
From scundhs made to the east of the
island in I$fi7-S it was estimated that
the great ship rose from a. depth of over
2,000 feet. Nothing but an earthquake
could have lifted her from that depth,
nothing but a tidal wave held her up
and swept her to our feet.

I was buving a parlor car seat for the

a lady just alvmd of me at the window
regarding her ticket with a troubled ex
pression. "I won't take that," she said,
passing it kick to the ticket seller.
won't have a chair numbered 13." The
man smiled amiably, and, taking the
ticket, rubbed off the one, making it
number 3. "No, that won't do," said
the woman. " You must give me a new
ticket."' "But the chair is number 3,"
explained the man. "That makes nc
difference, " she replied firmly, "I won't
take a ticket that is numbered 13, oi
that has been number 13." And she
wouldn't. What would Mr. Lang say

ALMOST SECOND NATURE.
Cyclists Enconsciously Follow the Boles of
the Itosd When Walkinff.
You can. tell a bicycle rider by his
walk. Not because of a peculiarity of
trait, but- for the reason tnax" ne uncon
sciously follows the rules of the road
that he has' learned while nemg a bi
cycle. On the sidewalks of the crowded
streets' of 'New York and Brooklyn a
centleman whose acquaintance among
bicycle riders Isquite extensive has, as
a matter of curiosity, watcned nis cy
ciinir friends walking to and from busi
ness. Almost without -exception they
pass to the right when meeting other
pedestrians and to the left whqn pass
ing them from benind. w nen turning
a corner, the pedestrian who has learned
to cycle hugs the wall closely if going
to the right and is almost sure to matte
a long turn if bound to the left.
If all uedestrians would observe the
rules of the road on the sidewalks as
well as the experienced cyclists observe
them on the highways, there would be
fewer toes trampled upon and tewer
persons nudged in the ribs by protrud
ing and sharp elbows.
There is nothing more annoying to
the participants and nothing more
laughable to the spectator than to see
two persons dancing up and down and
taking a series of side steps because
both started to pass each other in the
wrong direction.
The bicvele is unconsciously teach
ing people how best to keep out of each
others way. Any one who does not
think the result is sure to be beneficial
ought to attempt to stem a crowd com
ing from a theater or crossing the bridge
at rush hours. There will be no polish
left on the rash individual's shoes, there
will be mud stains on his garments,
and a feeling of deep, bitter resentment
against all mankind in his bosom.

BEES IN BATTLE.
The Contest A3 Viewed by a Spectator at
a Safe Distance.
The movements of the combatants are
so rapid in battle that it is difficult to
follow them through all of their evolu
tions, but the plan of battle seems to be
verv simple, says The Uliautauquan.
Two bees from the hive are sent to kill
one intruder, and the latter always tries
to force an entrance, even at the nsic or
its life. Onco inside, it makes room for
others of its companions to enter and
then, gathering up its abdomen in as
small a space as possible, it assumes tho
defensive. Two of the hive bees pounce
upon it and collaring it fiercely they
seek to find a vulnerable point between
the rings of its body to sting it to deatn.
The attacking bee just as determinedly
struggles to cover every unprotected
snot If sufficient time can be gained
and the attacking swarm is large enough
to force an entrance tlie. badly mauled
bees that have not been stung to death
will suddenly assume the offensive and
pursue the tactics of their enemies. The
contortions and evolutions of the vari
ous fighters are interesting to the ob
server. Should the battle co against the at
tacking body, the balance of the swurni
flies awav to seek safety, and the dead
carcasses of their companions are thrown
contemptuously out of the hive.
But in the event of an opposite ter
mination of the struggle the poor in
habitants are slaughtered. When their
fate has been practically decided, many
of them turn traitors to their cause,
and in order to save their own lives
they join the forces of the attacking
partv and display great vigor m killing
their former companions. But there is
honest patriotisnxeven among bees. In
every hive there aro some wno tight to
the last and .prolong the struggle for
hours.
Winter Coats.
In coat shapes for the "winter both
semiloose and fitted shapes are favored.
The collars are still the familiar high
standing bands finished with braided
or braid edged tabs, crenelated strips of
velvet, fur bordered points and other
fancy shapes formed and decorated to
conform to the rest of the garment
Most of the sleeves are very small coat
shapes, or else very much reduced mut
ton leg styles, finished either with a
flare at the wrists or turned back with
a deep machine stitched cuff. The great
est novelty in wraps, aside from the
widely popular Russian model, is the
garment closely fitted back and front,
the jacket slightly pointed, and reach
ing only a trifle below the waist line on
the sides.
Over the very close coat sleeves fall-
loose open circular bell sleeves, which
are silk lined and decorated in various
ways to match the jacket trimmings.
These little garments are designed to
accompany a calling or church costume
or for other occasions for which a small
wrap is requisite A few of these wraps
fasten on the left side and are trimmed
across the front with two rows of rather
large buttons, giving the jacket a dou
ble breasted effect These wraps are
made of various materials, including
velvet, brocade, repped silk in heavy
cordings or fine cloth, with a handsome
trimming of braiding or passementerie

Aluminium Wire.
Aluminium wire is made of various
sizes and used for a variety of purposes.
Among its newer uses is the manufac
ture of door and window screens. When
exposed to the weather, such screens do
not rust Aluminium wire is used in
the manufacture of hairpins. In a few
cases in this city aluminium wire has
been sold to be put up on roofs for use
as clotheslines. The wire sold for this
purpose was No. 6 gauge, which costs
60 cents a pound, and 1,000 feet of
which weighs 24 pounds.
Aluminium pigs sell now at about 42
cents a pound, which is about half the
price of a year ago. The sale of manu
factured articles of aluminium is all the
time -increasing and things in great va
riety are made from it. New York Sun.

"How long does it take ta make cue
of these?" said the manufacturer in. re
sponse to an inquiry. "Well,, it de
pends entirely upon circumstances. It
is not a mechanical operation, the fin
ishing off of a wax model as true to life
as this." And he pointed to the bust of
a laughing child whose rosy neck and
bright eyes were framed by clustering
curls. "To make these one must have
studied anatomy as well as drawing
and modeling. We begin in the same
way as a sculptor would to make a
statue. After the wax has cooled the
eyes are put in, the face is 'made up, '
as theatrical folks say, and the wig is
fastened on, and the wooden body is
shaped. We make all our hands and
feet from life, and they cost about $10.
If we have an order for an entire figure,
we always model it from life. The life
size wax figures of infants are among
the finest things we manufacture, and
they add much to the attractiveness of
a show window, as was illustrated last
winter when a Washington street retail
dealer displayed one during the holiday
season. The head and shoulders, such
as are seen in the milliners1 windows,
cost from $40 to $45. The wig makes
considerable difference in the 'price, as
we use the best hair, and it is expen
sive, especially the natural blond,
which is scarce The children's heads
cost 20 or thereabout
"All the. finishing off imaginable,"
he continued, "would not make a figure
stand the test of a season behind the
glare of a glass unless the wax ' has a
natural pink tinge. The reason some of
the models look so deathly is because
the wax is bad and not properly color
ed We use beeswax, slightly colored,
and flesh tints are put on in addition. "

They All Knew That.
"I am quite willing to contribute to
the er amusement of the evening, "
interposed the amateur poet, who was
bursting to read his latest and couldn't
get anybody to take the hints he con
tinually threw out
There was a sound like a groan from
a corner of the room and a guest went
out Tho others prepared for the worst,
except one elderly man who pulled
down his waistcoat with an unnecessary
show of determination.
"The title of this little effort," the
poet went on, drawing a roll from, an
unsuspected pocket, "is 'The Raindrops
on the Root ' "
"Well, of course it dees," exclaimed
the elderly man. "Where would you
expect it to drop? When the rain drops
cn any well regulated house, it natu
rally chooses the roof. Perhaps you
expect people to take the roof off when
it rains, or you think that we imagine
that it drops on the foundation or in
the umbrella stand? Everybody else
knows that rain drops on the roof,
young man, and they dou't want you
to write a poem to tell 'em. If you can
write one that will explain why it al
ways rains when a man goes out in a

In Galicia, in Austrian Poland, there
is a remarkable underground city, which
has a population of over 1,000 men,
women and children, scores of whom
have never seen the light of day, says
the Roxburv Gazette. It is known as
the City of Salt Mines and is situated
several hundred feet below the earth's
surface. It has its town hall, theater
and assembly room as well as a beauti
ful church, decorated with statues, all
being fashioned from the pure crystal
lized reck salt It has well graded
streets and spacious squares, lighted
with electricity. There are numerous
instances in this underground city

In England the plan of having ice
