Jerrold Kelley gives <re interesting chapter cf "Superstitions vf urn Sea iu The Century. After Btudy.ng them iairly well he doubts if modern sailors are more superstitious than any other- class with equal training and opportunities. He '.-clicves that. verybedy is leavened with supersti tion, notably tho noisiest scoffers and those mountebanks, the Thii-teeti clubs, for these gentry protest too much It seems to be n human instinct modified by i :ial iul?:ritar>ce3 mid developments. In the youth of the world its manifesta tions wer.- the earliest recorded utter ances of men concerning the visible phenomena cf the universe, and *ts grip cu simple words was an outgrowth of the fear of the unknown. Of all people sailors must deal at first hand, and help- ' leesly to some degree, with the most' unknowable, uncontrollable of material i problems, the sea, and it is only nat- I oral that their folklore should be in part land stories fitted with sea mean ing aud. in part of blind explanation of sea phenomena, both being maintaiued valorously by the grewsome conserva tism of the seamau, even after rational causes come to the rescue. In earlier days superstition was as much u part of every ehip us the water1 she wfi to float in, for it entered with the wood scarfed into her keel and | climbed tu the flags and garlands wav-1 ing at her mastheads It i an riotously i at her launching, controlled her name, her crew and cargoes. It timed hc-r • days and hours of sailing and convoyed her voyages It euramoned apparition“ lor her ill fortune aud evoked portents and signs lor her prosperity. It made winds blow foul or fair, governed her successful ventures aud arrivals, and when her work was done promised a port of rest somewhere off the shores of Fiddler’s Green, where all good sailors rest eternally, or threatened foul moor ings deep iu the unoaimy locker of Davy Jones of ballad memory. In many countries stolen wood was i mortised into the keel, as it made tiie ehip sail faster nt night though if the first- blow struck in fashioning this keel drew fire the ship was doomed to wreck upon her maiden voyage. Silver—usu ally a cciu—placed iu the mainmast step went for lucky ventures, aud misguided indeed was the owner who permitted any of the unlucky timbers to enter into the construction. Something of me cere monious ohoi-acier giveu to launchings survives to this day. Where of old ships were decked with flowers and crowns ct leaves flags now flutter. The libation poured on the deck, the purification by the priest, the anointing with egg and sulphur, find their exemplars in the well aimed and wasted magnums which are shattered on the receding cutwater as the craft, released from the ways, slips, weli greased, into the sea. The jar of wine put to his lips by the captain and then emptied on ueck, the cakes and ale eet before the crew, the stoup oi wine offered to passersby on the quay and tho refusal of which was an evil omen—all are realized in these sadder! lustrums by the builder’s feast in thej mold loft. Lawyer-, clergymen aurlj women vi e ever looked at with disfavor I on railing ships as sure ro bring ill luck —lawyers undoubtedly from the antip-1 atiiy cf sailers to the class, a dislike so pronounced that ‘ ¿en lawyer” is a very bitter term of reproach, and "land shark” is a synonym. Clergymen— priests and parsons—are unlucky proba bly because oi their black gowns and their principal duty on shipboard—that cf consoling tho dying t nd burying the dead—though possibly because the devil, the great storm reisu i: tiirir especial enemy and sends tempests to destroy them Women—who may reason out their unpopularity?save that a ehip is the last place for them, or perhaps be cause cf the dread cf witches, for cf all spell workers ia human form none is so dreaded as thu female brewers of hell broth. Like the priests of the middle ages, they can raise a prime quality of storm by tossing sand or stones iu the air ano, like Congre ve s Lapland sorcer ess, are supposed tu live by selling con trary winds and wrecked vessel;-. Cer tain families could never get sea em ployment undei tueir own surnames, not even such members as were boru with cauls, for they were tabooed, barred. And many animals—hares, pigs aud black cats, for example—could neither lie earned nor mentioned oil shipboard, save under very stringent i conditions* Scarborough wives kept u ' black cat in the hcure to assure their husbands’ lives at sea, but cn voyages every Hack cat carried a gale iu her tail, and if she became unusually frolic some a sterm was sure to follow. Years ago ou board the flagship Franklin, up the Mediterranean, wc had a yarn that illustrated a survival of this antipathy to certain forms of ani mal life T wc eld quartermasters were heard during the morning watch ex- chimging in ths cockpit dismal experi ences of their dreams the night before. One was particularly harrowing, for the narrator wound up with: "And I say, Bill, I was nevei so efoared in my life. Wnen I woke uj?, it seemed as true as day, aud I was all of tremble like an asp on a leaf.” "What's tiiux.-” said the other. "Pipe down. Don’t mention that reptile.

No can see, how can do’” is the shibboleth of their sailors. Ships’ bells were blessed-, and today if a mis take in their striking is made by a stu- pid messenger boy they are struck back ward to break th" spell. Iu oue ship tc which 1 was attach*-! the bell had culm, down to us from the Ticonderoga, through the Tnetis, I think, and wu.- siijpo-ie.l to be ami** the.'p*uia* control of a f jno spirit of mischief.

It is necessary to add that by report it was a c ommon event in the other ships mentioned. The proverbial desertion of sinking ships by rats is founded upon reason and undoubtedly occurs, for as rats lik* to prowl about dry footed and will stick t< io place so long as food is plenty it is prebable that the ship they leave is sc leaky and unseaworthy that their un derdeck work is too wet to suit them. for Infants ar.u Children »st ..-.-.-^-1-0»^»-*.—.

"I am a perfect stranger ia Paris. 1 have come right through from Geneva, and I do not know a word of French, ” replied the sick man, almost tn a state of collapse. "It will never do for you to travel in that state. Come, let me help you out before the train starts. ’ ’ The kindly gentleman was uot a mo ment too soon. Eut by the friendly aid of a porter he got the sufferer out of the train, placed him gently in a cab and had him taken to the hotel which he himself had just quitted and where hi knew the sick man would receive every attention. Caring for him on the way with all the tenderness of a woman, hs tade him cheer up, for he knew a phy sician who was one of the highest au- thorities on the particular disease from which be was suffering. All the night the gentleman was ex ceedingly ilJ, nor did he improve much the next day. The following morning a relation of the sufferer, who had beer, telegraphed for, arrived, and the kind hearted gentleman who had put off his journey to England, thrown away his railway fare and sper.t two nights aud a day ulmos’- constantly by the sick man’s side handed over the sufferer to the care of his irienrl. Then, and uot till then, did this geld-1 en hsarted man decide tu resume his in terrupted jeurney.

Had you not so generously and so disinterestedly taken compassion on him I fear his relatives and friends would never have seen him again alive. In thanking you again for ycur kindness, therefore, I should like to know to whom wo are so much indebted.. Besides you forfeited the cost of your railway ticket.

The party was in eonvorsau.ju over its beer of all shades and all degrees of excellence, and tales had been told iu several languages aud of diverse degrees of trustworthiness whan thu Hungarian pounced upon an opportunity—he had his glass empty first—to tell for the hundredth time of the beauties of his native Budapest The baths, the An- drassy avenue, the park, the theaters, the bridge, the palaces, the musio and the “incomparably beautiful women” had all been described, and Hungarian statesmen, from Kossuth to Kaincky, lauded when a story teller interrupted with: “Budapest may be all that you claim for it. but I’ll never forget an experi ence I had there when I fooled some of its bigwigs. It was only a few years ago, when I stopped there for a Test on my way from Paris by the Oriental ex press to Constantinople. I noticed an unusual excitement at the Hotel Hun- garia, could see there were many strau gers in town, and across the Danube, over tho Schloss, floated the royal etond- ard of Hungary as a sign that the king was There You know the Hungarians never speak of Franz Josef az emperor, I always as zing “During the day I heard that the ministry would resign the next day, and that Premier Tisza would make his last address in parliament. Well, you can well imagine 1 wanted to be in ct the death and set about to secure a ticket of admission to the diet hall. Those whom I asked simply laughed at me. Tickets were at a high premium, and some to whom I applied gave m« a Hungarian look of withering contempt tvhicn made me only more anxious to get there. “But the morrow came, ana I taw the chances for a puep at the show growing exasperatingly less, when 1 suddenly felt myself possessed of an idea I went to the house of parliament and after much inquiry learned that the librarian of the upper house, and hb alone could admit mo, and I succeeded iu seeing him. ‘I’m surprised, ’ I said to Liu, ’that you have made uo provision for tht- press at a time so important as this. ’ Press’’ said he. "Why, press tickets have been issued to all who aru eutlitled to them, aud if you have received none it’s a mistake—au oversight ’ He called a servant, said something iu a jargon which I could not understand aud made me a bow of dismissal The man, who was dressed to go on in the chorus of the ‘Beggar Student’ or the ‘BlacL Hus sar, ’ beckoned me to follow him, led me to an inner room, where he left me with a desk, two chairs and my guilty conscience. 1 began to wish myself back at the hotel, with its good wine, good music and fine view on the Dau ube. Visions of police investigation and an exposure, with possibly a term iu a Hungarian jail, rose before me, for you know I had uo more to do with newspaper business than I had with African exploration, when a clerk en tered and with many a flirt and flutter proceeded to make out my credentials for admission to the press logo. “He was a funny little tuau, this clerk, who labored under the hallucinu tiou that he could speak English, aud he was further afflicted with that mild form of insanity which manifests itself in the dyed mustache. He took my name and pedigree, asked me whence I came and how long I proposed to remain iu the city, and I answered all with that promptness and strict truthfulness which one acquires by years cf association with the members of this club ‘¿Finally be put the poser, ‘What u the name of your- paper?’ I thought with right that all great papers must be rep resented and feared that if 1 mentioned one of them 1 would be discovered and lost; so, thinking of the motto of the club, ‘God loves a cheerful liar, ’ 1 eaid without a moment's hesitation, ‘The North Adams Transcript ’ He didn’t just remember the name and had to ask as to the spelling several times while making out the documents by means of which I was to secure an admission card, but if he had prezsed me after-1 saw that the bluff went I would have told him a circulation story which— well, which would not ba in keeping with The Transcript's books. “Well, 1 got into the press loge iu time to hear Hungary’s grand old man, Tisza make the greatest speech of his life. Of course I could riot understand his Hungarian, jierfeot as it no doubt was, but the enthusiasm which he aroused seemed contagious, and ouce during his talk, when a great shout of approval filled, the chamber, women waved their handkerchiefs and fans, aud members of the opposition even looked pleased, I caught myself applauding, but I quickly recalled the fact that I was there as The Transcript representa tive and as such bad uo opinion ‘ ’The picture from the gallery where ‘we of the press’ sat was one I snail never forget.

Tho Rilliut of the Chief Brought About by Hib Sou’s Taoist. “Did you ever know just how ¡Sitting Bull was killed?’’ asked Lieutenant Baker of the Twelfth in fan try, U. 8. A. “1 do not think,” he continued, “the details were evci printed. I never saw them, and I was there. ” I tell it, as near as it cau be recalled, as the lieutenant told it. Sitting Bull was at his shack with his sons, near Standing Rock agency, when he was sent for to come into ths agency. The Indian police wer e commissioned to bring him in, and when an Indian po liceman gets that order and finds his man he brings him, dead or alive, un less the man gets the drop first. Sitting Bull was disposed to obey the summons, but one of his eons, as haughty an In dian as ever lived, taunted the old man for his weakness. He called him a equaw, and that epithet ro an Indian brave is the cap sheaf of all that is de risive. The old man weakened under the boy’s taunts, and the Indian police did the rest Sitting Bull was all that his admirers claimed for him. When he fell, the boy who had taunted him crawled under the bunk where the old man had slept He was there when Shavehead, an Indian from the agency, came in. He heard the story. He liked Sitting Bull, and when he was told that the boy had taunted his father and was the cause of his death Shavehead said the boy deserved death, and he was dragged out from under the bed and killed. These details Lieutenant Baker says he never saw in print—Chicago Herald. «
