There was a mystery about that 111 fated ship. Nothing went right with her. She stuck at the launch, and it cost an extra $350,000 over and above the sum set aside for the purpose to get:,her into the water. On her trial trip her boilers burst, killing some of the stoker's. Then she ran aground and carried on so outrageously that her crew thought h^r surely bewitched. She had started badly. While she was building a pay clerk sent by one of the contractors with $'J,5C0 in wages for the men disappeared. It was not unnaturally assumed that he had bolted with the money. His wife and family were left unprovided for, with, the stigma of his supposed crime upon' them. Thirty years after her launch the Great Eastern went into the cenreterv at Birkenhead to be broken up. "While she was being taken to pieces the ship breakers discovered between her inner and outer casings of steel the skeleton of. a man. Papers which had fallen.. from his clothes enabled his identity to be traced. It was the skeleton of the pay clerk who thirty years before had disappeared. There was no money; that was never recovered. tfhe supposition is that the poor fellow on going on to the ship was pounced upon by workmen who knew that he had the money with him; that they stunned him and, having a small place in the side of the vessel to complete, crammed his body in and built him up in it. No reward would have induced a sailor to sail in that vessel had he known of the terrible secret sealed up in hen walls.?Chicago News.

"One of his stories was of an editor to whom a subscriber said: " 'I enjoyed that poem on the three ages of. man in today's paper, Mr. sneers; i enjoyea it immensely. uu you know, though, I thought that it was originally written the seven ages of man!' , " 'So it was. sir; so it was,' said Edi'tor Sheers pompously. 'Yes. the extract was originally written the seven ages of man, but I had to cut it down for lack of space.' "Another story concerned a weather report. A reporter, discussing the weather, wrote that winter still lingered in the lap of spring. "The editor as lie read over the article called the 'reporter up to his desk and told him that he would cut out that sentence about winter lingering in spring's lap. He said the idea was good enough and original and all that sort of thing, but it would not do to publish because the high moral tone of the paper ljad to be maintained in a town full of school girls."

Not a trace of self consciousness is left on the face of an English royalty, with the exception of perhaps a single princess under an artillery of glances. Such attentions are anything but resented.

While journeying across the desert Mrs. A. Goodrich-Freer, author of "In a Syrian Saddle," met a lonely traveler bound for Medeba. On hearing that the caravan was bound for the same place he asked permission to join them. Incidentally he furnished an illustration of the difference between necessities and luxuries. We were very grateful, says the / writer, for coffee and an excellent lunch of sausage, potted meat and jam, with white bread, brought from Jerusalem. We ate our dainties with some sense of guilt, as the newcomer ^produced his lunch of dates and figs. Dates and figs, he informed us, were the natural food of desert wanderers, / %? Sufficing to the body, stimulating to the mind. The wheat, the flesh, above all the alcohol of civilization, were mere irrelevancies. Was it not diet such as this?and he waved a pair of sensitive hands over his ascetic larder?which had enabled him to^reply to the inquiry of a percrtnoirn oo Vrnrc- manv hnnrs n rl 1 v j OV/IUljjW UC IV ilV M UiUUJ UVUAM | ho could ride in the desert. "Twentyj four, your majesty, since a day does not contain twenty-five?" Was it not on a diet of figs and dates ithat he had ridden sixty hours without dismounting? Was it your meat eater, your wine drinker, who remained sound and wholesome when necessity obliged him to refrain from ablution for twenty-one-days? At this point he carefully counted his date stones, observed that two more were yet due to his appetite and finished his frugal luncheon. Speaking. "Did you think Miss Jawkins has speaking eyes?" "I'm sure I don't know," replied the young lady. "If she had, her mouth wouldn't give them a chance to be heard."?Chicago Becord-Herald. The Young Baby.
