PIRACY IN THE LEVANT.
It Exist! In n Small War, Bat Its Palmy
Days Hava raised.
In a large wholesale way of busi
ness, Levantine piracy may bo called
extinct. No longer are the tideless
waters swept by the galleys of the Al
gerine, nor do we often at church find
collections being made for mariners
captivo among the Moors. The gen
ial old ruffian who made his prisoners
drink to tho king over the water is to
tally extinct But in a small way,
with very limited capital and enter
prise sadly thwarted, the isles that
burning Sappho loved and sang still
see a good deal of business done on
the old lines. The practice rather
resembles maritime burglary, per
haps, than anything worthy to be
called piracy, and the practitioners
are natives of mixed race. A small
schooner or vessel, a hardy crew, a
few Lucifer matches, and such revolv
ers as can be prooured suffice for an
outfit. The method is commonly as
follows:
The shores of tho isles are studded
by little villages as far from the sweet
ministry of the police as wild Kintail.
and wo cannot put it more strongly.
The wealth of tho villagers mainly
consists in old silver vessels and orna
ments, often of beauty and great an
tiquity. A spongo diver, for example,
has found more than sponges. In the
British museum there is a recent
acquisition, a pot nrnde of gold,
weighing as much as 100 sovereigns.
This was brought up from a classical
wreck by a sponge diver, and it is
likely enough that such discoveries are
frequently made and concealed. Tho
villagers have also tho silver orna
ments of their women’s dowries,
often old and curious, and there may
be a few rolics of antique gems, rings,
necklets, and armlets, spoils of ravgos
ot the Mycensean age. As the tax
gatherers are prompt to levy on all
proporty.this little wealth is,of course,
carefully hidden, perhaps under the
thatch. The pirate’s first care is to
obtain private information as to who
is rich among tho people apparently
as destitute as the old fishermen in
Theocritus. When ho has learned as
much as he can he launches his bark
under some equivalent for the Jolly
Koger, he lands at the sleeping village
under covor of night, surrounds the
cottage, and, as a rule, places the
householder on fire, or ties him up in
a sack with a pair of cats, or other
wise prevails on him to disclose the
hiding place of his valuables. Then
tho gallant pirate sails away and it is
all over. .
Shadows have no claws but they have
frightened many people to death.

bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rheum, fever

S. H. Clifford, New Cassel, Wis., was
troubled with Neuralgia and Rheuma
tism, his Stomach was disordered, his
Liver was affected to an alarming degree
appetite fell away, and he was terribly

bottles of Electric Bitters cured him.
Edward Shepard, Harrisburg, 111.,
had a running sore on his leg of eight
years’ standing. Used three bottles of
Electric Bitters and seven boxes of
Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, and his leg is
sound and well. John Sneaker,
Catawba, O., had five large Fever sores
on his leg, doctors said he was incurable.
One bottle Electric Bitters and one box
Bucklin's Arnica Salve cured ■ him
entirely. Sold by P. C. Corrigan.

says that Dr. King’s New Discoveryis
undoubtedly the best Cough remedy;
that he has , used it in bis family for
eight years, and it has never fniled to do

Any one who has children will rejoice
with L. B. Mulford, of Plainfield, N. J.
His little boy, five years of age, was sick
with croup. For two days and nights
lie tried various remedies recommended
by friends and neighbors, Jle snys: “I
thought sure I would lose him. 1 had
seen Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy ad
vertised and thought I woult try it as a
last hope and am happy to say that after
two doses he slept until morning. I
gave it to him next day and a euro was
effected. I keep this remedy in the
house now and as soon as any of my
children show Bigns of croup I give it to
them and that is the last of it.” 25 and

A WELL AS A BAROMETER. .
It II on > Farm In New York, and
Foretell* the Weather.
There Is a curious well on tho Flint
farm, in tho town of Croat Valloy,
Cattaraugus county, says tho Now
York Sun. It is a natural barometer.
Nobody over passes i tho farm .winter
or summer, if the weather is settled,
without asking something liko this:
“Does the well threaten a change?”
For every one knows that if tlioro is
bad woathor coming tho well will let
them know it, suro as suro can be.
They call tho well up there tho
“whistling well,” although it doesn’t
whistle now._ But that isn’t any fault
of the well. This well was dug about
fifty years ago by the fathor of Colonel
Flint, who occupies the farm. Ho put
it down forty-five feet, but found no
water, and dug no further. Instead of
water, a strong current of air came
from the well at times. The opening
was covered with a big flat stone, and
for amusement a hole was drillod in
tho stone and a big tin whistle fitted
into it. The whistle had two tones—
one when the air rushed up from the
well, and a different one when the
counter current sucked tho air back
into the mysterious depths. It
wasn’t long before the discovery
was made that within forty-eight
hours after tho outrushing current
from the well started the whistle to
shrieking a storm invariably followed.
When the tono of the whistle was
changed by the reversing of the cur
rent, it was discovered that tho
change meant a change and the com
ing of fair weather. Those weathor
signals never failed. When the
weather was settled tho whistle was
silont. The whistle got out of order
some years ago, and for some reason
was never repaired, but the coming
and going currents of air prophesy
the coming of their respective “spells
of weather” with unvarying infalli
bility.
THE TH/CKE^AYS AT ROME.
Their Flrat Dinner Proved to Be Dell*
dons When They at l ast Procured It.
About luncheon time my father sent
us down to the pastry cook’s shop,
whore we roveled among cream tarti
and petits fours, and then we ordered
our dinner, as people did then, from a
trattoria near at hand. Then wo went
out again, still in our raptures, and
when dinner time came, just about
sunset, excitement had given us good
appetites, notwithstanding the tarts,
writes Anne Ritchie in Macmillan's
Magazine.
We wore ready, but dinner delayed.
We waited more and more impatiently
as the evening advanced, but still no
dinner appeared. Then the English
servant, Charles, was called, and dis
patched to the cook’s shop to make in
quiry. He came back much agitated,
saying that the dinner had been sent
—that they assured him it had been
sent. It had apparently vanishod on
its way up the old palace stairs. “Go
back,” said my father, “and tell them
there is some mistake, and that we
are very hungry, and waiting still.”
The man left the room, then re
turned again with 'a doubtful look.
“There was a sort of a box came an
hour ago,” he said. “I have not
opened it, sir.” With a rush my sis
tor and I flew into the hall, and there
sure enough, stood a square, solid
iron box with a hinged top. It cer
tainly looked very unlike dinner, but
we raised it with some faint hopes,
which were not disappointed. Inside
and smoking still upon the hot plates
was spread a meal like something in a
fairy tale—roast birds and dressed
meats, a loaf of brown bread and com
potes of fruit, and a salad and a bot
tle of wine, to which good fare we im
mediately sat down in cheerful ex
citement—our first Roman family meal
together.
An Eye to the Future.
Housekeeper— Considering how
much I’ve done for you, I think you

but think how often the wheel o’ for

“What’s that got to do with it?”
“Everything, mum. My grandchil

would be so much pleasanter fer thim
to bo able to say their grandfather
was a gentleman o’ leisure than to
have to admit he was a wood sawyor.”

, A Nowe lteducer.
A sound reducer is being introduced
in Germany by J. Patrick of the Frank
lin metal works, and it is claimed that
it entirely overcomes the noise oc
casioned by exhaust steam. The ap
paratus is applicable to all kinds of
exhaust engines, such as winding en
gines, pumping engines, steam, gas,
and petroleum engines, while at the
same time it serves the purpose of an
oil and water separator.
A Terrific Shocb.
Mrs. Bangle ton was reading of a
street car accident in Chicago to her
husband.
“The cars ran together,” she said,
“and Miss Wabash, who was standing
in the aisle, was thrown from her feet
and—”
“Geo whiz!”exclaimed her husband;
“those cars must have been going a
hundred miles an hour.”
Abundant (iiime in Malm*.
One interesting result of the abund
ancy of gatno in Maine in recent years
has been the development and cultiva
tion of taxidermy in that state. Skilled
taxidermists are now to be found in
every small town on the routes that lead
in and out of the great forests, and not
infrequently in remote backwoods set
tlements.

HOLBEIN'S LAST DESCENDANT.
Romantlo Fortune Hint Hefei IUm In
n Bohemian 1’oorliouae.
The sad fate of tho la3t descendant
of llans Holbein, tho famous paintor,
has aroused the pity and interest of
tho daughtor of a landed proprietor of
Prussia to an unusual oxtont. Frldo
lin von Holbein, the only bearer of
tho groat name, inherited a consider
able fortune, says tho New York
Tribune. In tho course of an adven
turous life, howevor, ho mot many
mishaps, made bad investments, and
lost all his money. After trying to
make a living in various ways, unsuc
cessfully, ho returned to his native
town, Aussig, in Bohemia, a penniless
man. Old and weak ho was obliged
to accept quarters in the city poor
house, to keep from starving. But a
bright ray of hopo now shines on his
gray head. Frauloin Charlotte, tho
daughter of tho landed pro
prietor whoso largo estates
are near Charlottonburg, heard the
story of Holbein’s life, and immediate
ly announced to her parents that she
intended to marry tho unfortunate
man and roscue him from his miser
able condition. She is 23 years old,
has considerable proporty in her own
name, and—naturally and necessary
in ono so romantic—is a beautUul
woman. Her parents saw no objec
tion to her plan, and a few days ago
she sent her brother to Aussig as her
matrimonial ambassador. Calling on
tho mayor of tho town and explaining
the nature of his errand, ho was sent
to Mmo. Marie Wrusz, a relative of
Holbein. The two then went to the
poor house to visit the pointer’s de
scendant,. Tho bearer of tho brilliant
name was, as might be expected
pleased at the interest taken in his
fate by tho young woman, and quickly
gave his consent. Ho was supplied
with money, anl arrangements have
been mado for tho marriage to bo
celebrated in Dresden.

There is actually nothing' in the
flesh of the dog that is distasteful or
repulsive. Lewis and Clark the ex
plorers, who learned to eat it through
compulsion, actually became fond of
it in time. It is not generally known
that it is a favorite article of diet
among certain people, but a French
paper says that the number of dogs
slaughtered attho abattoirs in Munich
has increased amazingly in the past
few months. 'The taste for dog flesh
Is said to have been imported by
Italian laborers, who have recently
come in large numbers to the Bavarian
capital. The meat is used not only
as an adulterant for sausages, but is
eaten openly, under its own namo,
prepared in various ways_Now York

Palpitation of the Heart
Shortness of Breath, Swelling
of Legs and Feet.
“For about four years I was troub
led with palpitation of the heart,
shortness of breath and swelling of
the legs and feet. At times I would
faint. I was treated by the best phy
sicians in Savannah, Ga., with no re
lief. I then tried various Springs
without benefit. Finally, I tried
Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure
also his Nerve and Liver Fills. After
beginning to take them I felt better f I
continued taking them and I am now
in better health than for many years.
Since my recovery I have gained fifty
pounds in weight. I hope this state
ment may be of value to some poor
sufferer. **
