MYSTERY OF A LOST 8HIP.
It la Hellavad that Bhe Has
Found, bat Her Crew la Mlaaiaa.
Local shipping men are deepl Inter
ested in a search that la now being
made for Information regarding
tbe Philadelphia bark, Mary P. Kitch
en, which sailed from Penarth roads,
England, Jan. 1, 1S8U, for Montevideo,
and haa long been given op aa lost,
says the Philadelphia Record. The In
vestigation Is being made by the French
government through the Department
of State and at tbe Instance of Bern

Parts, whose son shipped on the bart
for the purpose of studying navigation
and seaimuiHhlp. Ho confident were
all In Urea ted parties that the vessel
had been lost that Insurance on tbe
bark and tbe lives of some of ber erew
waa paid several years ago.
No question as to tbe loss of tbe
Kitchen was ever raised until yester
day, when a letter waa received from
Moyda at London stating that a bark
which waa believed to be the Kitchen,
had arrived at Montevideo May 2,
1HN0, and was still afloat under tha
name of Klaaon. Nothing bad been
learned, however, of tbe whereabouts
of the officers or crew that sailed origi
nally on the Kitchen. There has, bow
ever, bei ti received a suggestion that
Capt. James Ryan, who commanded
the bark, together with young Aarons,
had been murdered by the crew, who
afterwards sold the boat In the Argen
tine Republic after changing ber name.

commanded' the old cane shin Tona

Clilurie Letter Writing.
It Is customary In China for the
writer of a letter to address tbe man to
whom he Is writing as "my elder
brother," and usually begins with the
phrase, "May all the blessings of life be
showertd upon you; such is the wish of
your imbecile junior." The address on
the envelope is, "From my humble
cabin tc the glorious palace of pearls of
my elder brother," and it makes no dif
ference whether he lives in a d-igout on
tbe side of a hill.-Phlladelohia Ledger.
Light Suppera.
The old tradition that to eat any
thing just before going to bed was
sure to produce indigestion and render
sleep impossible is now happily ex
ploded. It is not good, as a matter of
fact, to go to bed with the stomach so
loaded that the undigested food should
render one restless, but something of a
light, palatable nature in tbe stomach
lo one of the best aids to quietude and
rest tn bed. The process of digestion
goes on In sleep with as much regnUr-
ty as when one is taking violent ezer-
:ie to aid it, and so somethnig in the
stomach is a very desirable condition
for the night's rest. Some physicians
have declared. Indeed, that a good deal
of the prevalent insomnia is the result
of an unconscious craving of the stom
ach for food in persons who have been
unduly frightened by the opinion that
tney must not eat before going to bed,
or who have, like many nervous women,
been keeping themselves in a state of
s,enil-starvation.
Nothing is more agreeable on retir
ing for the night than to take a bowl
of hot broth, like oat meal gruel or
clam soup. It is a positive aid to
nervous people, and Induces peaceful
lumber. This is especially the case on
cold winter nights when the stomach
staves warmth ai much as another
part of the body. Even a glass of hot
milk is grateful to the ptlate on such
occasions, but a light, well-cooked gruel
is better, and, in our climate during the
sold months of winter, should be the
-elirlng food of every woman who feels
s so many do, the need of food at
night.

A Massachusetts woman used a

It was, as nearly as I can render it in

Tha Kara Bower; Glil.
As a plain, cold, matter of fact a real
Bowery girl is as rare as a chrysanthe
mum in July. The Howery nowadays
is almost entirely devoted to business
men. Eqcept the tramps, floaters and
impecunious tourists who find noctur
nal logdings in the cheaper hotels
along the Bowery, that th borough fa re
contains very few domiciles, and a still
smaller number of shons or faetorioa
h-re women are employed. East side
working girls, morning; and evening,
do not go through the IJowery to their
piaces oi employment, out cross it
generally, going westward in the morn
ing and eastward in the evening
There is comparatively little foot travel
on tbe Bowery nowadays compared
with what there was qefoje the estab
lishment of the elevated railroad aud
the introduction of the cable system
on the Third avenue line. A stranger
in New York desiring to see pearls of
the feminine east side population would
be better repaid for his trouble by tak
ing a stroll along Division street than
by walking through the owery. De
cidedly more women poss through
