NORWEGIAN SUPERSTITIONS.
Hen of Strong; Nerves and the Belnc of
the Spirit World.
The simple faith of the Norwegian
peasants is that the seeing or not see
ing of beinffs of the other world is a
mere question of strong1 or weak
nerves. Only reversing, says All the
Year Round, the (renerally accepted
belief, it is the Northman of strong
nerves who has power to sec the un
seen. And he who sees it fears it not.
"If you have the gift," says my in
formant, "you may see dozens and
scores of forms pass your door, but
you know not what it is to feel alarm."
"There's a ghost on every ship,"
says the same authority. "My own
uncle, who saw the unseen plain from
his childhood, was married to a woman
who could not brlieve in spirits. He
had a fishing smack of his own, and
saw strange things of nights. One
night he asked her to go out witli him.
and she went. "If I see anything I
will call for you,' he said, and she
agreed to it. In the dark middle of
the night he could see three men come
walking on the water toward the little
vessel. He went and called his wife,
saying:
" 'Look out now; do you see noth
ing?' .
" 'No,' said the wife. 'I see nothing
but the water and the darkness.'
" 'Well,' said lie, 'there are three
men there, plain to be seen, and now
I'll go anil get up the nets, for a storm
is surely coining.'
"Two o'clock was the wonted hour
for getting up the nets, but wait he
would not, in spite of all his wife could
say to him.
"When two o'clock came the nets of
all the other fishermen were lost and
their bouts nenrly wrecked in a sudden
great storm that rose, but my uncle
was well out of it, and anchored in
safety, because he could read the
sign they were all blind to."
CHEAP RENTS.
Bow the Railroad. Have AfWted Branches
of Old Mobile's Ilnsliiess.
A portion of the glory of Mobile,
Ala., departed when, after years of la
bor, the railroads from the north were
able to surmount the difficulties pre
sented by marshland and bayou aud
continue their lines to New Orleans.
This affected certain branches of thu
busiaess of the city materially, prac
tically ruining the heavy trade in re
shipping merchandise at Mobile to
New Orleans, leaving giant warehouses
tenantless and docks to rot and become
grass grown.
The extent of the depreciation in
value of some of the shipping property
can be inferred from the following ob
servations of a recently returned com
mercial traveler.
In walking through one of the old
streets recently h" saw on the ground
floor of a huge five-story warehouse the
striped pole and the sign of a barber
shop and boot blacking establishment.
Walking in to have his shoes polished
he inquired of the proprietor how much
of the building he rented.
"All of it," replied the man.
"What, all or tins immense build
ing?" asked the drummer in surprise.
"Why, how can you afford it? What
do you pay for it?"
"Fifteen dollars a month," was the
answer. "I use only what I want of
it, but ray lease covers the whole prop
erty." Inquiry from merchants of the city
confirmed the man's statement. Tbe
class of property had become absolute
ly useless by the altered conditions,
enabling the barber to secure for fif
teen dollars a month a building which
formerly rented for thirty-five hundred
or four thousand dollars a year.
ONLY A FEW OF THEM LEFT.
Xlphlotd Whale Wliich llelong to Lotilf
Past (.eoloslcal Ages.
Prior to 1883 the naturalists of Amer
ica knew nothing of xipliioid whales
except from comparisons and the fossil
records of the geological ages, litiriiig
the year mentioned, however, one of
these queer cretaceans was stranded
upon the sands at liarnegat City. N. J.
J. II. Uidgeway and his assistants
managed to save the specimen, mid im
mediately telegraphed for the ollicials
of the National museum of Washing
ton. They went, of course, and took
all the apparatus necessary for preserv
ing such a unique curiosity. Among
these Smithsonian worthies were sci
entists of international reputation, yet
the creature before them could nut be
assigned to its proper class until after
the brain was critically anil scientific
ally examined this on account of its
great rarity. He fore removing the
flesh preparatory to "making a skele
ton" of the great creature's bones a
plaster cast of the exterior was made.
After this operation hud been finished
in all its minute details the incut was
cut away and the bones carefully artic
ulated. A scientific report of the inci
dent, quoted by the St. Louis Republic,
closes as follows: "The xiphioid
whales have a most interesting his
tory. They really b.'l.ing to
the geological ages, and pcriiajvi only
a few stragglers are now h'ftia remote
quarters of the globe. It wonhl sri m
that they are but the surviving relics
of a great race, which declined long
ages before man appeared upon the
earth."
National Peculiarities.
It takes seven days after death, ac
cording to Siamese belief, for the soul
to reach Heaven, and prayers are kept
up during that period to help it on its
way.
In Dutch Guiana the women carry
upon their persons all the family sav
ings in the shape of heavy bracelets,
anklets, necklaces and even crowns of
gold and silver.
The Spaniard, however courteous he
may be, never invites a guest to din
ner. In Italy, too, the privacy of the
family is seldom invaded at the dinner
hour. Tbe members eat in silence.
Tbe king of Assam has two hundred
wives, who are divided Into nine
grade When one of tliem dies her
body is lowered from tbe roof of the
palace to be buried; the law in Assam
prohibits the carrying of a corpse

HUNTING WILD BEES.
Tho Insenloua Method of a Con
necticut Man.
Tracking- the Insects to Their Trees wtC
tbe Aid of Loaf Sugar How I
Is Done -Hera with
a "Jag."
Up in Lltclafleld county lives Bert
Ileeman, one of the most famous bee
hunters of the state, writes a Connecti
cut correspondent of the New York
Sun. Mr. lieeman takes to the busi
ness by Instinct, and so far this season
has found nine bee trees and scooped
in a hundred pounds of wild honey,
and wild honey, it must be remem
bered, has a flavor peculiarly its own,
which cannot bo duplicated in those
concoctions of glucose and flavoring
extracts manufactured to order. Mr.
Ileeman has his own method of finding
bee trees, and he does not reveal them
to every Tom, Dick and Harry who
asks him. Bee trees are not so numer
ous in Connecticut that there are
enough to go round, so those few who
possess the peculiar nature or instinct
which picks out such a hive are keep
ing their knowledge to themselves.
There is one method which the Litch
field county bee hunter uses in certain
I cases which he has no objection to be
i ing known. When he leaves home for
an expedition he takes along with him
several lumps of loaf sugar. Arriving
in the woods he moistens two or three
lumps and places them on the stump
of an old tree or on a rock, and sits
down to smoke his pipe and wait. De
velopments come rapidly. A busy bee
tlica over tbe spot, scents the sugar,
takes a few sips, and flies away.
Pretty soon it returns, accompanied
by other bees, nnd these go and bring
more, until Anally quite a swarm will
be hovering over that sugar. Mr. Bee
ninn gets in his work now. Cautious
ly lie catches one of the bees, and with
his sharp penknife he slits both wings.
This doesn't harm the bee, and makes
it distinctive. Keeping his eye on this
bee he takes out his watch and notes
the time when it flies away and the
time when it comes back again, also
the direction which it takes. From
long experience tho hunter knows just
how long it will take a bee laden with
honey to fly a certain distance and dis
charge its load of sweets, and how
long it requires to return without its
load. I!y making his calculations he
knows just about how far the big tree
is. Following the direction of the bee's
flight to the distance he has calculated,
it doesn't take long, with careful
watching, to find the tree. As a rule
this system works perfectly, though
circumstances may make the location of
the tree somewhat tedious and labori
ous. Mr. Heeman's experience has
brought him in a good income during
the fall of each year, and he has
gained quite a reputation as a honey
hunter.
A peculiar story of bees on a glori
ous spree comes from up Bristol way,
and shows Unit "jag," however de
lightful it mav he to the senses, some
times results fatally to insects as well
as individuals. Mrs. Theodore Hyde
was making "sweet pickle" pears a few
days ago, and sweet pickle, especially
after it is spiced, has a very penetrat
ing as well as seductive odor. Mrs.
Hyde left the jar of pickle in her
kitchen, with the window open, for a
little while, until she had time to run
into a neighbor's and swap receipts for
making pickles. On her return she
was greatly put out, not to say alarmed,
to find that her new pickle had at
tracted a swarm of bees, and her
kitchen was in possession of the in
sects, which knew how to defend them
selves when attacked. She awaited
the return of her husband at dinner
time to know what to do. He quietly
picked up the jar and set it
out on the lawn, where, dur
ing the afternoon, the bees contiuued
to imbibe tbe intoxicating concoction
until over half the swarm were in a
Hate of inebriety.
The jar remained out of doors all
night. The next morning the two
quarts of pickle were entirely gone,
while in the jar were two quarts of
dead bees which had perished from
cold while too drunk to fly home. It
was tl. i most destructive jag in loss of
life ever known in that region of the
state.
Alaiit.i clotll Waterproof.
A correspondent asks for a recipe
for making cloth waterproof. There
is surely no better method than put-1
ting half a pound of sugar of lead and
half a pound of ulum in a pail of soft
water, stirring it often until it be-,
WIIUKS t.L'UI , IJUllI.fj lb UU ItlW .11
oilier pail anil putting the cloth or
garment into it, to remain there for '
twenty-four hours. The material
should then be hung up to dry without
wringing. It is said that garments
thus treated will keep the wearer ab
olutcly dry in the heaviest rain
storm: the rain simply hangs in glob
ules upon the cloth. Waterproof cloth
is more healthy to wear than rubber
goods. I

They are in rculity sun worshipersjiut

ABSOLUTELY PURE
A ROYAL YACHT.
That of Emperor William of Ger
many. It Is Palatial In Its Appointments and
Arm ad as Thoroughly as If In
tended for a War
ship. The Hohenzollern is a magnificent
vessel, and looks more like a cruiser
than a yacht. It is built of steel,
painted white, and propelled by twin
screws, connected with a double set of
engines. Its average speed is nineteen
knots an hour, and this can be in
creased to over twenty knots an hour.
The Hohenzollern has two wheels, one
at the stern, the other near the bow,
the latter worked by steam, the former
by man-power, both being painted
white and gold, with nickel spokes.
The yacht, says London Queen, Is
armed with eight quick-firing Krupp
guns and with its graceful outlines sits
high in the water. It has three masts
and two funnels, painted yellow, the
gilded imperial German crown on the
prow and the Hohenzollern coat of
arms in black and silver, surrounded
by a laurel wreath, on the stern. The
deck Is covered with linoleum and over
a large part there is an awning, where
in flue weather the emperor has
luncheon and tea parties. In the fore
part of the vessel is a bridge reserved
for the emperor. It is approached by
a mahogany stairway and has mahog
any railings.
The emperor's apartments on the
middle deck amidships are on the port
side, those of the empress and her chil
dren on the starboard side. Wainscot
ing, doors and staircases, as well as
other fittings and furniture, are of very
light-colored, almost white, maple
wood; the ceilings white, picked out
with gold; the rococo chimneys - nt
nickel, and the walls covered with cre
tonne, varying in pattern in the vari
ous apartments. The lofty nnd spa
cious dining saloon on the middle deck
is twenty-five feet broad by seventy
five feet long, but by an Ingenious ar
rangement of portieres can be made of
any size the emperor pleases.
It is upholstered in gray and white,
and, like the whole of the vessel,
lighted bv electricity and warmed by
steam pipes. On the center table
stands the Queen's cup, won by the Me
teor at the recent royal yacht squad
ron regatta at ('owes, and on another
table the County Down cup, won by
the Meteor at; the royul Ulster regatta
in 18112. Above this saloon is the prom
enade deck, with the smoking-room
at one end and the emperor's bridge
on the other. The smoking-room is
very comfortable, furnished and lined
with porcelain plaques, on which illus
trations of German buttles by sea and
land are puinted.
On the upper deck Is one of the em
peror's working-rooms, furnished with
a telephone. Hanging on the wall is
the log book and on a shelf are some
nautical books. Another work-room
and a conference-room are on the mid
dle deck, their walls beinL' decorated
with water-color sketches and photo
graphs of the queen, the empress of
Germany, and her children.
The saloon intended for family gath
erings is decorated ill blue and silver
and fitted with furniture of maple and
a fireplace of marble and nickel. The
empress' bedroom ton tains a bedstead
of nickel, with a counterpane of red
silk and hangings of gruy satin. Ad
joining the emperor's room aft ure the
apartments and the mess-room
of the imperial suite, while the offi

with oak furniture, are situated for

There was a woman of dignified bear
ing and apparent intelligence standing
at a post' box the other day, says the
New York World. She dropped in sev
eral letters and gazed hesitatingly at a
small package which she held. She
glanced about for assistance in her
problem, and her eyes lit upon a po
liceman. "I beg your pardon," she
said, sweetly, holding the package up
for his inspection, "but do you think
that there are enough stamps on this
to carry It?" And such is the chival
rous attitude of man toward perplexed
woman that the poUceman said,
promptly, without making even an at
tempt to weigh the package In his
hand: "Oi'm shure there's enough,
ma'am." Her doubts banished by this
statement, the lady dropped her bun
dle and went on her way rejoicing.

LICORICE HARVEST IN SYRIA.
Gathered In Sacks and Carried on Camel
to the Seaboard for Export.
In a scries of articles describing the
planting, cultivation, preparation for
market and transplantation of licorice
root, appearing in tho Pharmaceutical
Era, there is the following interesting
descriptive bit: In digging licorice
root in Syria the usual way is to start
a trench the length of tho place to be
dug over, about two feet in length, and
work from that, each man placing in a
pile the root bo has dug, and at the
end of the day or longer time it is
taken to tho scales, weighed and paid
for at a specified rate per pound. An
allowance is always mado for the dirt
that clings to the roots. The root is
then spread out for few days to slight
ly dry and piled in stacks about three
feet wide and four or five feet high,
rounded off at the top in order to shed
rain, and tho piles arc narrow enough
to prevent heating. At the end of the
rainy season the root is spread out to
dry for about two months, being
turned over from timo to time, during
which process all tbe adhering earth
drios and falls off, leaving it clean
and ready for transport to the point of
shipment. It is then put into canvas
sacks, each containing from two hun
dred to two hundred and fifty pounds,
two sacks being a load for a camel or
a mule.
For the transportation of the root
from the place where dug to the port
of shipment, varying from two to five
days' journey, a contract is usually
made with some Arab or Bedouin sheik
for a certain amount of cuntars (of
about five hundred pounds each) at a
certain price, he to furnish camels and
men and the owner to furnish and fill
the sacks. About fifty camels go in
one caravan or drove, for which five
men are sufficient. Sometimes, if one
hundred camels are used, the caravan
14 yjr:o in nucLiuun, uuu uiiiir. nullify a
donkey leads the first camel and the
rest follow the leader, while the other
men walk, keeping any camel from
Btraying or lagging too far behind.
Thy usually start early in the morn
ing, and go ten or fifteen miles, when
a halt is made, the loads are taken off
and the camels are allowed to browse
on the thorn or other bushes for three
or four hours, then loaded again and
about the same distance traveled, when
they are again unloaded and the night
is spent in tho open air and an early
start mude the next morning. And so
on until the seaboard is reached, where
they are unloaded, the root is weighed,
tho sacks emptied and returned to be
again refilled in tho fields for another
trip. On the Euphrates and Tigris the
root is obtained near the banks of the
rivers and, after being properly dried,
is loaded in bulk on native boats callud
bugulows, carrying from fifty to one
hundred tons, which float down the
river or sail if the wind is favorable, or
at times arc towed by men as fur down
as Hassorab, where tho root is un
loaded and pressed in bales ready for
shipment.
RErutiJ A THF.ONE.
The Heir 1-ramnuiHlve of Austria Thrown
Over for a Young; I.louteiiant.
Some time ago, says Vienna Letter
In the London News, it was believed
that tho heir presumptive to the Aus
trian thioue, Archduke Francis Ferdi
nand, would marry his Bavarian cous
in's daughter, Princess Elizabeth. It
Is now beard that t lie idea existed, aud
was much favored by the emperor, but
the young princess frustrated these
plans.
More than a year ago she began to
look approvingly upon a handsome
young lieutenant, Huron S . Tho
young officer began by riding past her
windows a couple of times a duy, then
he obtained a room with windows
facing I'rince Leopold's palace. In the
winter, at court bulls, the lieutenant
danced ofleuer than any other with the
princess, and in the spring lawn tennis
brought them moru together still.
All at once tho young officer was
transferred to a regiment stationed in
Alsace; and this seemed the tame end
of a romantic story. But in the sum
mer, when Princess Elizabeth staid
with her emperor grandpa at Isehl, she
is 'supposed to have used her time so
well that the emperor promised to
make the baron a prince, to give him
some landed property, and to allow the
happy couple to marry if their love
was proof against time.
The incess is nineteen, pretty, per
fectly natural, and very sweet-tempered.
That she should have preferred
a union with the man she loves to the
certainty of an imperial throne will
not ulicnate thu sympathies of those
who know her and love her for her
no. ...... I - It
