REAL Pi RATES. A i
JTliey Exist In the Malay and Eastern Waters
Especially.
As a matter of fact, there are plenty j
of pirates extant, although they are sel- j
dem so bold in any sea as to attack a vessel
flying a European flag. The Malay
and eastern watgrs swarra with seemingly
commercial junks and prcas, |
which wear all the air of respectability,
but are none the less on a constant watch j
for becalmed traders and cargo ships undermanned.
In the Formosa channel the
outward and homeward bound passengers
will see apparently innocent vessels
leisurely drifting in pairs before the
wind. They drag between them a huge
cable, to which is fastened a sweepnet,
and if nothing better turn up, they have
to be content with what tunnies and
turtle they may thus catch off the Pcscatores
or the Paracels, or in those waters.
the home of the cyclone, where
rises the lonely Piedra Bianca. If, however,
a Tonkincso cr Chinese rice or
opium boat drifts by and no embarrass
ing European is near, the nets are drawn
in, the swarthy fishermen get out their
spears and muskets, and combine to
board and ravage the unlucky trader,
cutting the throats of all on board and
sinking the junk when she has been
thoroughly cleaned out.
Instances have been known in which
Canton or Fuchaa pirates have shipped
as seemingly harmless and respectable
vcyagerson board even European steamships
sailing out of Chinese ports, and
have risen, when the vessel was well at
sea, and massacred her captain and
crew. In such a case ono hears of it, for
European blood is an expensive liquid J
to spill in the east, but no mention ever j
comes to public ears of the hundreds of
craft sailed and owned by natives, which
year by year,"' in the seas cast of Singapore,
fall victims to the treacherous pi- |
rate of the Malay peninsula, or Celebes
or Javan archipelago.
A well manned merchant ship, with :
a maxim gun cn beard, would be fairly
safe, for they can only attack in their
boats, and any quick firing cannon of tho ;
modern typo "would be more than they :
could comfortably face. A steamer, too,
as long as her engines keep going, is per- j
fectly secure, for their best chance is in
those dead calms which come upon the ;
eastern seas when the trader is helpless- j
ly fixed, while the "water lats" can :
bring their dhow or proa closo up with j
long sweeps and finish off the rest in j
their boats.?London Telegraph.
An Italian Festival.
Toward midday the crowd attains its j
largest proportions; then tho suspension !
of the church services, hunger and !
fatigue help to lessen its number, j
Groups form under the trees and picnic; ;
others surround the "friggitori" who
are busy frying chickens, fish, sweetbreads,
rice balls and many other compounds
in the boiling oil of their greatcopper
pans. In tho wineshops there is :
much drinking going on, intermixed
with laughing, jesting, fooling, quarrel- I
ing, the townsfolk unmercifully jeer- j
ing at the country people, some of whom
laugh with and at their tormentors, i
while others preserve a sulky silence.
Tho Repivblicaus begin to sing choruses :
which are professions cf their political
faith, to which the socialist group reft
plies with gibes, also sung in chorus.
. The simple melody once united to tho
stornello, artless outpouring cf lovers' j
joys and ^sorrows, sung at happy bar- |
vests and merry vintages and by the se- j
rece voices cf peasant maidens at work :
in quiet fields, is degraded and wedded
to rhymed doggerel, spiced with insult !
and blasphemy.
On tho steep banks under the thick
ilex shade many are asleep. The conn- ,
try women, wnn meir smoom, cioseiy
braided heads Ivina: en their white ker- J
chiefs, rest like dreaming saints in the
sleep of the just. In ether patches cf ;
shade other* women are lying with di- !
shoveled hair and Unshed faces. In all j
the vulgar boldness cf holiday makers j
from the town they are sleeping off the j
double effects of the sun and wine.?
Good Words.
Musical Sand. _
Mr. Cams Wilson found that fine sand j
from Stud land bay, which was sonorous 1
cn the beach, but mnto when carried j
homo in a box, gave out a shrill note j
when struck in a teacup. The glazed j
sides cf the cup increased the intensity ;
cf vibration of the sand by increasing
tko number of polished surfaces in contact,
and this was proved by putting the
- same sand in various vessels with rough
interiors, and by lining the glazed and
polished vessels with silk, when it became
mute again. Sand of the Eigg
type, possessing the physical conditions
necessary for the production of music
in great perfection, ^aro musical in receptacles
of almost any kind or form.
The smallest quantity of musical sand
from which Mr. Wilson got a true note
. was a thimbleful of Eigg sand. Less j
perfect musical sand, such as that of
Studland bay, was found to be usaally ;
mute, except in situ or in vessels of
hard, glazed interiors and of certain
definite form. Some "sulky" sands not
only needed vessels of hard, glazed in- j
teriors and of deSnite form, but also a j
box or small pedestal of wood?a "coax- j
er"?on which the vessel had to bo ; i
placed before the notes became audible, i
^ A "sulky" sand could be rendered far
more musical by being sifted, washed i
and boiled, giving out notes, after this ! '<
treatment, without the aid of the "ccax-' ' 5
er."?Temple Bar.

DUSE A-ND BERNHARDT.
The Italian Actress Rises to Greater
Uoichis Th&u the French-woman.
As vet Duse has permitted us only a
glirapse of her gallery of dramatic portraits.
Elsewhere she hag achieved triumphs
iu plats differing as widely as
"La Fcnmio do Claude'' and "L'Abhesso
de Jouarre." L?.er Juliet and
Ophelia liave aroused fervent enthusiasm,
and her Cleopatra is still a bone
of critical contention between the commentators
who hold that naturalness is
the chiefest stage virtue and those who
prefer the dazzling artifice of which
Sarah Bernhardt is passed mistress. If
it be the first object of good acting to
hold the minor up to nature, the French
actress in these later days would bo unwise
to dispute the palm with her Italian
rival. The women whom she now
depicts are, fur the most part, mere
j monstrosities, fanciful developments
| from one piorbid and extravagant type.
If Duse, in at tempting some of them,
has failed to emphasize all the violent
and impossible contrasts of which t hoyare
compounded, and to amaze or horI
rify by a cry or a gesture, she at least
! lias contrived to impart to them, hy her
J intuitive sense of truth and proportion,
: some semblance of humanity. Wherever
I there is a foundation of human heart to
i work upou her power is absolute, and
I she can interpret all moods with almost
equal facility. As lias been pointed cut,
she can sound all the depths of pathos,
or simulate a paroxysm cf rage or
scorn with the same veracity; can employ
with delightful effect all the wiles
of feminine seductiveness, play the coquette
with unsurpassable archness and
vivacity and tread the perilous paths of
the riskiest French comedy with u ligh tness,
a sparkle, an assurance and an
adroitness altogether Parisian.
She possesses, moreover, in a larger
measure than any other actress the protean
gift of genuine impersonation.
Willi a face and figure devoid of any
peculiar characteristic, she identifies
herself with the fictitious personality by
subtle and appropriate transformations,
in which gaU, gesture, carriage and
facial expression all play their part. In
this respect, beyond question, she is tho
greatest actress of the day, and among
men Salvini alone takes rank above her
or beside her. Ilcr powers in high tragedy
or poetic comedy must be for us as
yet matter for conjecture only.?J.
Rankcn Towse in Century.
A Traitor as l>a>:o as Dreyfus.
The arrest of French spies in Ger ?
** _ t-V
many ana ci overman spies 111 r ranco
lias long ceased to possess the element
of novelty cr to attract more than passing
attention. But it is none the less
true that an incident of this sort, if it
came at a moment of international ferment,
might serve to excite passions on
both sides of the Vosgcs as readily now
as a quarter of a century ago. The caso
of tire man Schvarz, who, with his
family, has been imprisoned in Paris, is
one particularly calculated to impress
the French imagination. If he is guilty
beyond doubts, as Lc Temps declares,
ho is something much worse than an
ordinary spy. He is an Alsatian by
birth, served in the French army during
the war,and afterward elected to retain
his French nationality. This gave him
special claims to official consideration
and secured him a good berth in the polico
service and a decoration to boot. It
also put him in the very heart of the
patriotic clubs and societies which M.
Derculedo and his friends have organized
and enabled him to learn the names
of Frenchmen who were sent into Germany
to spy out facts about the fortresses
and to warn the Berlin authorities
cf their coming. He ranks, therefore,
in the public mind as a traitor
quito as base as Dreyfus, and at this
time of general uneasiness his caso may
easily arouso even deeper national resentment.?Saturday
Rev:'* w.
Edison and tlio "Break."
"Dr. Ncrvin Green," says "Alegargee"
in the Philadelphia Times, "the
long time president of the Western Union
Telegraph company, claimed, that he
gave Edison the employment which was
the beginning of liis successful career, to
which, as is well known, the Western
Union corporation has largely contributed.
Edison had been bothering the
officers of the company with telegraphic
/!c>T-ir?<ia rIi.--.T- lin/i Tin noo/1 rvf TTr> r>.i?im
into the office cue day when it was im- j
possible to obtain communication between
New York and Albany, and the
seat cf the difficulty could not be located.
Ho was banteringly invited to
remedy the trouble. He said lie could do
so in two hours. Ho was laughed at and
given two days for the task. His process
was very simple'. He telegraphed to
tho best operator in Pittsburg and instructed
him to telegraph to the best
operator in Albany. The latter telegraphed
his New York line down as
far as he conld, feeling his way from
point to point, and sending the results
to tho Pittsburg man, who forwarded
them to Edison. In less than one hour
Edison said to the anxious officials, 'The
break is two miles from Poughkeepsie.'
That simple method insured his status
with the Western Union people and
won for him a hearing in all his
schemes."
Tho Last Ccmmanuer.
General Nelson A. Miles will probably
bo the last of the great generals of
the war of tho rebellion to command the
army of the United States. lie will not
reach the ago limit for retirement for
nght years yet, in August, 1903, and by
:bat time all of the major generals and
Drigadier generals now in the active
service will have been retired. General j
Ruger has but a year to servo; General
Morritt retires in 1900; General Brooke,
:ho present senior brigadier general, in
1902; General Wheat on in 1897, General
Otis in 1902, General Forsyth in
1898 and General Bliss and General

SHALLER THAN USUAL
tf Dr. ' R. V. Pierce]
Chief Consulting
Physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and
Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo, N. Y.,
was the first to introduce
a Little Pill
laxative and catiiartic
purposes
these sugar-coated
"Pellets" are superior in a great many
ways to all mineral waters, scdlitz powders,
salts, castor oil, fruit syrups, laxative teas,
and other purgative compounds. Made of
concentrated vegetable ingredients, they
act in a mild, natural way. Their secondary
effect is to keep the liver active and the
bowels regular, not to further constipate,
as is the case with other pills. They clon't
interfere in the least with the diet, habits
or occupation, and produce no pain, griping
or shock to the system.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure biliousness,
sick and bilious headache, dizziness,
eostiveness, or constipation, sour
stomach, loss of appetite, coated tongue,
indigestion, or dyspepsia, windy* belchings,
" heart-burn," pain and distress after
eating, and kindred derangements of the
liver, stomach and bowels. These "Feb
lets" are easily dissolved in the stomach
and absorbed into the blood, stimulating: a
flow of bile from the liver, and arousing: to
activity all the glandular secretions. Thus
they act in nature's awn way. In proof
of their superior excellence, it can be truthfully
said, that they are always adopted
as a household remedy after the first trial.
Put up in glass vials, therefore always fresh
and reliable.
One little "Pellet" is a laxative, two are
mildly cathartic. As a "dinner pill," to
promote digestion, take one each day after
dinner. To relieve distress front overeating,
they arc unequalcd.
They are tiny, sugar-coated granules;
any child will readily take them. Once
used, always in favor.
Accept no substitute that may be recommended
to be "just as good." It may for
better for the dealer, because of paying
him a better profit, but he is not the one
who needs help.

Mr. W. M. Buff Will Not Sell the
Petrified Man.
Columbia K^g'ster.
Mr. W. M. Buff, the owner of the
petrified man, has refused an offer of
835,000 for bis "man" and that, too,
from'a responsible party, who could
easily pay that amount. The offer
was bona fide; but Mr. Buff would not
accept it as he thinks that he can
make double that amount in a few
years. Verily few finds have attracted
as much attention as this one, especially
from the fact that it was dug
up out of the liver within five miles
of this city. One trouble, however,
was that the petrified body was
found in.-at hoforo <ho on?nin<7 of the
- w J i. o State
Tair, and many thought that it
was the work of some Yankee fakir
who thought that he could make a
considerable sum ia Columbia. A
close examination proved that it was
no fake, aud that it was an actual
body turned to stone.
It has also proven a fortune to Mr.
Buff. He will remain here sometime
longer and then take it to Charleston
and from thence to New York. He
has decided not to take it to Atlanta,
as many there will consider it a fake,
which will do more harm than good.
Mr. Buff expects to realize a big
sum in New York and when he becomes
tired of carrying his treasure
around he will then accept some of
the handsome offers made for it.
Many prominent citizens have exam!
ined the man carefully and they all
pronounce him a petrified man.
