FUN
ii Experience That Ntted Soma Profit
to the Old Sea Captain.
"I am reminded," said an old coast
in? captain to a Washington Star man
recently, "of an experience I once had
with sea turtles on the edge of the
gulf stream, about sixty miles from
Hatteras. I was part owner and cap
tain of the Mary Lyle at that time., and
was coming1 np from Savannah with a
. half cargo of rice, when, one morning,
the lookout yelled to me to come up on
- deck and look at the sea turtles. When
I got up and looked over' the rail, thu
whole ocean, as far as I could see
ahead of us, was covered with turtles.
They were tremendous f ellows,. nd
-were paddling along lazily in the op
posite direction to that in which we
were going. It didn't' take us long to
rig up a windlass and tackle and begin
pulling some of tae old feliows aboard
"We picked the biggest, as the came,
and in the course of three hours we had
caught fcwenty-six, about all that, we
could handily dispose of about the
-ship. Only nine of them lived until
we reached New York, and we sold
them :f or (rood prices. The shell of one
.tLat .weiffhed four hundred and seven
ty. pounds is now in front of an eating1
house on Houston street, iew YorJt 1
.woiild hate to say how many turtles
vere in sight of the Mary Lyle that
dav, for fear somebody might think i
was fish-yarning, but they ceme by us
: steadily for five hours, and when we
got well into the school it extended as
'far as the eye could reach on all sides,
and there was a turtle to about every
.forty square feet of water, and I didnjt
cee one that weighed less than one
) hundred and fifty pounds.
"DEADLIEST KNOWN POISON.
; Strophanthidin, from an African Plant,
an Atom of Which Is Dangerous.
. To the best of our knowledge, says
the Brooklyn Eagle, the most deadly
poison .is that which was discovered by
jProf. Prazer, of Edinburgh, Scotland,
and known as shophanthidin. He sep
arated it from the African poison
.plant, shophanthus hispidus, by means
- of ether and alcohol. As little as a one-thousand-millionth
part of an ounce of
crystallized shophanthidin produces a
distinctly injurious effect upon the
heart, and a very small quantity is
fatal. Another deadly poison is cyano
gen gas, the principal Ingredients of
hydrocyanic or prussic acid. .
At ordinary temperatures it is sim
ply a gas, but can be condensed by cold
and pressure into a thin, colorless
liquid and becomes a solid at thirty
degrees Fahrenheit. The inhalation in
its ' gaseous state of a most minute
quantity would cause instant death.
One of the most deadly poisons
is arseniuretted hydrogen, or arsenic,
which is formed by decomposing
an alloy of arsenic and zinc with sul
phuric acid. It is a colorless gas, pos
sessing a fetid odor of garlic, and acts
as a most deadly poison.
Adolph Ferdinand Gehlen, a chemist,
born about 1775 at Butow, in Pomer
ania, was the discoverer of it. While
experimentincr with it at Munich, on
July 15, he inhaled a single bubble of
the pure gas and died in' eight days
from the effects. The accident, oc
curred through his smelling at the
joints of his apparatus to discover a
flaw. Others engaged in chemical
operations have died from the effects
of this poison in three days.
EXTRA POLITE.
. A French Count Who Could Not Be
Oat-
done in Galluntry.
Frenchmen of the old school did at
times tremendously polite things, such
as breaking their necks to pick up a
lady's fan, or setting fire to a house to
dry her when caught in a . shower of
rain, or running through the body any
one who should dare to say that her
foot was large or her nose red. In our
days Frenchmen are not such idiots,
and yet they sometimes do exceeding-
" ly foolish things in the polite line.
This story, for example, is related of a
Count de Lecouiteux.
In descending the staircase of the
opera one night a lady of his acquaint
ance had a lace dress of considerable
value torn by a man treading on it.
After an exclamation of impatience
she turned to the count and said:
"Have you a pin?" "Madame," he said,
"I don't carry a pincushion, but here is
one, and he drew from his breast a
valuable diamond. "Sir," said the
lady, nettled probably by his retort
about the pincushion, "I cannot accept
' a diamond from you." "Well, then,"
' returned he, "here is a pin without a
diamond;" and breaking off the jewel
he threw it out of the window and pre
sented the simple pin.
... On an Indian Hunting; Tour. .
' The most exciting and by far the
mset. intjirostinir limit in .r aviin.'inup T
ever went on, said Capt. M. P. Wallace,
an ex-army officer, to the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, "were those with the
Indians while I was stationed on the
plains. The consummate grace and
skill of the men and the speed and
agility of their ponies were . well dis
played on Such occasions as these. Fre
quently the hunt would be signalized
.by some daring feat of bravado. On
one occasion I saw an athletic young
Indian ride his horse up close to the side
of a big buffalo bull and spring from
the horse on to the back of the buffalo,
ride the savage creature several hun
dred yards, and then with his knife
give it its' death stroke." j
. Uved a Lifetime In Twelve Tears.
- The most remarkable instance of
rapid growth was recorded by the
French academy in 1739. It was a boy
six years of age, five feet six inches in
height. At the age of five his voice
changed, at six his beard had grown,
and he appeared a man of thirty. He
possessed great physical strength, and
could easily lift to his shoulders and
carry bags of grain that weighed two
hundred pounds. . His decline was as
rapid as his growth. ' At eight his hair,
and beard were gray; at ten he tot
tered in his walk, his .teeth fell out
and his hands became palsied; at'
twelve he died with every outward
sign of extreme old age. .
WITH A SEA TURTLE. LAND O'
DROUTHIE CRONIES.
Convivial Caledonia's Curious Inns and
Hotels and Borne Facts About Them.
Robert Kempt has gathered together
many interesting historical items and
quaint anecdotes about the inns and
hotels of Scotland, says the Caterer. It
must be confessed the historical 'side
begins very late, for in olden days inns
were practically unknown over the
border, travelers beinjr received in pri
vate houses as guests. Consequently
there is no record of such ancient Lon
don hostelries as the Tabard, in South
wark; the Mermaid, in Bread street, or
the Blue Boar, in Eastcheap. When
Defoe went to Scotland he had difficul
ty in finding- an inn at Aberdeen, and
this in spite of a royal edict Issued by
James X. 5n 1424, to the effect that in all
boroug-h towns where there was con
siderable traflic, hostelries should be
established, but these institutions did
not flourish till very much later. Mr.
Kempt gives some amusing informa
tions to the pains and penalties en
acted in the fifteenth and seventeenth
centuries regarding the hours of clos
ing, drunkenness, etc. The inns of
Aberdeen are accorded a whole chap
ter, for there is much to say about those
of the last century. They practically
formed open clubs for the wits and
learned men of the hospitable city.
Over very modest repasts and potations,
grand symposia were held; the philoso
phers lived low, but thought and spoke
high.
Dr.' Johnson seems to have appreci
ated the Aberdeen inns; he found
them almost as congenial as his haunts
in Fleet street, and certainly far bet
ter than the Scottish houses of enter
tainment. Among other interesting
items of information Mr. Kempt points
out that whisky is a comparatively
modern beverage, and that in olden
days claret was almost as much drank
as ale. The regent Albany is supposed
to have made claret popular. In 1480
red Gascony wine sold in Aberdeen at
sixpence a pint, and later on claret and
port wine could be had at eighteen-
pence a bottle. Indeed claret and
port in those early days could be pro
cured cheaper in Scotland than in
most parts of England. In the cities
and country side are many inns with
historical interests attached to them.
In the Invercauld Arms hotel, Braemar,
is the stone on which the standard of
Mar was raised in 1745, the beginning
of Prince Charlie's wild escapade. Oth
er inns are associated with-names ven
erated in Scottish history and litera
ture. There are many inns in the
Highlands closely connected with
Burns, the Ettrick Shepherd, Sir
Walter Scott and other kindred giants
of old. Scott mentions that it used to
be the fashion to eat oysters in the
Covenant Close, Edinburgh, and Mr.
Kempt has gathered together many der
tails as to this once fashionable form of
indulgence. During the eighteenth
century it seems that the best soeiety
in the Scottish capital, ladies and gen
tlemen, used to make parties at one of
the taverns in "Auld Reekie," there to
partake of oysters and porter, ending
up with brandy and rum punch, with
song's and dancinff. Some of these old
Aberdeenian and Edinburgh inns we re
the ancient houses of noble families,
jrreat rambling buildings, with many
rooms, some of remarkably fine pro
portions. Even a few of the country
inns were former mansions of the lairds
of the soil.
AN ENORMOUS VINE.
One That Grons In England and Bears Two
Thousand launches of Grapes.
While in the public mind the great
vine at Hampton Court 'palace is es
teemed the most remarkable, even that
ia excelled in dimensions by the still
greater vine at Cumberland lodge,
Windsor Park, says the London Daily
Xews. Not only these giants, but
probably all other vines in the kingdom,
have to give place for extent and pro
ductiveness to that most 'remarkable
vine which is just at the present moment
carrying the enormous quantity of
eight hundred and fifty-two bunches
::nd a total weight materially exceed
ing half a ton.
This- is growing at Manresa house.
Hoehampton, in a vinery two hundred
and twenty-four feet long by eleven
feet wide. The vine was planted by
the present gardener, Mr. Davis, as a
cutting, onto a wall outside more than
thirty years ago. But finding that in
the natural soil such capital growth
was made, the present house was
specially built for its accommodation,
so that now the vine and its main stems
stand partly across the house, just two
thirds up its length. There are seven
main rods or branches running hori
zontally each way. These are allowed
to carry laterals, or fruiting shoots, on
the upper sides only, so that the grapes,
now fast becoming black (for the va
riety is the black Hamburg), hang the
entire length of the roof in straight,
even lines, instead of up the roof, as is
commonly the case. Over two thou
sand bunches were cut after they had
set. The value of the crop, estimated
at two shillings per pound which is,
as good grapes go, perhaps not a high
figure. would be one hundred and
twelve pounds sterling. Probably no
other tree of any kind in the kingdom
could produce such a sum in fruit an
nually. Where Was Be Brought Vpt
Who says there is no American lan
guage? Harper's Magazine, gives the
following story as evidence that in
some portions of our land a tongue is
spoken that is distinctively our own.
Prof. F., of Harvard, teUs the tale. He
was at a picnic, and after the affair
was well under way a carpenter, a
sturdy New Englander, appeared on
the scene with .several planks, out of
which he proceeded to construct the
dinner-tables. Noting the thickness of
the planks, the professor chaffingly in
quired why it was necessary to use
such heavy timber. "Why?" returned
the carpenter. "Why, in order that
not when dinner's half eat tables might
squash and victuals leave us." It was
some hours before the prof essor was
able to translate this satisfactorily,
but he finally discovered that it could
be done. '
