DESERTED VESSELS.
Mysterious Wanderers Mariners at
Times May Meet at Sea.
At least once in my life I Lave bad
the good fortune to board a deserted
vessel at sea. I say "good fortune"
because it Las left me rbe memory of a
singular impression. I Lave . felt a
ghost of tbe same thing two or tLree
times since then when peeping through
the doorway of "an abandoned bouse,
writes Wilbur Daniel Steele in Ilar
per's Magazine. .
Now, that vessel was not dead. She
was a good vessel, a sound vessel, even
a handsome vessel, in her blunt browed,
eoastwise way. Sha sailed under four
lowers across as blue aud glittering a
sea as I Lave ever known, and there
was not a point in ber sailing that one
could lay a finger upon as wrong. Aud
yet passing that schooner at two miles
one knew somehow that no hand was
on Ler wheel. Sometimes 1 can imag
ine a vessel stricken like that moving
over the empty spaces of the sea carry
ing it off quite well were it for for that
indefinable suggestion of a stagger, and
I can think of all those ocean gods, in
whom n landsman will ever believe,
looking at one another and tapping
their foreheads "with just the shadow
of a smile.
I wonder if they all scream these
ships that Lave lost their souls? Mine
screamed. "We beard Ler voice like
nothing I Lave ever beard before,
when we rowed under Ler counter to
read Ler name the Marionette it was
of Halifax.
I remember Low it made me shiver,
there in the full blaze of the sun. to
hear Ler going on so. railing and
screaming in that stark fashion. And
I remember, too. bow oar footsteps,
pattering through the vacant internals
in search of that Laggard utterance,
made me think of tbe footsteps of
Lurrying warders roused in the night.
And we found a parrot in a cape:
that was all. It wanted water. We
gave it water and went away to look
things over, keeping pretty close to
gether, all of us. In the quarters the
table was set for four. Two men Lad
begun to eat, by the evidence of the
plates. Nowhere in the vessel was
there any sign of disorder, except one
sea chest broken out. evidently In
haste. Her papers were gone, and the
stern davits were empty. That is Low
tbe case stood that day, and that is
bow it stood to this. I saw this same
Marionette a week later, tied up in a
Hobokeu dock, where she awaited
news from her owners. But even
there, in the midst of all the water
front bustle, I could not get rid of the
feeling that she was still very far
away in. a sort of shippish other
world.
The thing happens now and then.
Sometimes half a dozen years will go
by without a solitary wanderer of this
sort crossing tbe ocean paths, and then
in a single season perhaps several of
them will turn up, vacant waifs, im
passive and mysterious.
Negative Suggestion.
Icgeud tells of a Ilindu fakir who
seemed to have a working knowledge
of practical psychology and made him
self rich selling plain wicker baskets in
the streets of Calcutta.
The peculiar virtue of the baskets, he
explained to the buyers, lay in the fact
that if one filled his basket with ordi
nary ttebbles, placed himself iu a re
ceptive attitude of mind and stirred
them with a stick for an Lour, each
and every pebble would be transmitted
into a nugget of gold provided the
stirrer did not think of a hippopotamus
while stirring.
The baskets were sold, bat the idea
of a hippopotamus was so firmly fixed
in the minds of all the purchasers that
not one of them ever had legitimate
grounds on which to demand his mon
ey back.
Colloquialisms.
One of the most common surprises in
reading is to come across in old books
what we have been accustomed to tak
ing for modern colloquialisms. We
have just struck this: Why. then, do
you walk as if you had swallowed a
rod?" Where? In Epictetus. Tbe
modern form is likely to be a poker,
but we bad always looked upon the
whole image as essentially American.
It is in reading the Elizabethans that
this experience is most frequent, al
though one is likely to have it In read
ing any classic The best colloquial
isms are likely to be the oldest. Har

How Much Iron Can We Make?
Iron furnaces of this country, in
cluding all in blast or idle, could, ac
cording to tbe Iron Age, -apparently
produce about 40.000,000 tons if they
remained in blast a year." This would
be U.OOOjOOO tons above tbe maximum,
calendar year output. Tbe Iron Age
doubts, however, if all the furnaces
could stay in blast a full year, aud
suggests a trifle oyer 33,000,000 tons as
maximum capacity.
Very Annoying.
"I can't bear these men novelists."
declared one lady.
"Why notr" the other inquired.
"They calmly tell you that tbe hero
ine wore a gown which fascinated a
duke and not a word as to what it was
made of or 'how it was trimmed."

chronic diseases of men, women and
children, offer to all who call on this
trip, consultation, examination, ad
vice free, making no charge whatever,
except the actual cost of treatment.
All that is asked in return for these
valuable services is that every person

to their friends and thus prove to the
sick and afneted in every city and lo
cality that at last treatments have
been discovered that are reasonably
sure and certain in their effect.
These doctors are among America's
leading stomach and nerve specialists
and are experts in the treatment of
chronic diseases and so great and
wonderful have been their results that
in many cases it is hard to find
the dividing line between skill and
miracle.

liver, blood, skin, nerves, heart, spleen,
kidneys, or bladder, rheumatism, sci
atica, diabetis, bed-wetting, tape
worm, leg ulcers, weak lungs and those

has been cured in sixty days.
According to their system no more
perations for appendicitis, gall stones,
tumors, goiter, piles, etc., as these
diseases are treated without operation
or hypodermic injection.
They were among the first in Amer
ica to earn the name of "Bloodless
Surgeons." by doing away with the
knife with blood and with all pain in
the successful treatment of these dan
gerous diseases.
If you have kidney or bladder trou
bles bring a two ounce bottle of your
urine for chemical analysis and micro
