A number of years ago the Spanish chip St. Jags was trying to Ixiat up to tills port, having been blown across the gulf stream by a cyclone that caught her when she wasn’t sixty miles from tho capes. There was a light breeze that kept her fairly steady over the long rollers, al though the sails would occasionally shake ami roar when the vessel gave an unusual plunge. It was soon after changing the watch at midnight that one of the men slipped aft and told the mate that some thing was maxing a queer noise a little on the lee bow. The mate lurd heard the noise, and was ready to ascribe it to super natural causes, because he could think, of no natural cause. The entire watch, ex cept the man at tho wheel, gathered at the rail forward aud listened to the increasing sounds. PARALYZED WITH TERROR. To unaccustomed ears these sounds were frightful enough, rising from mur murs and sobs to unearthly shrieks, onl\ to die away again in the most mournf ul of wails. The mate kept his ship on its course bravely for a time, but flesh ami blood could not stand it long, and he gave the order to go about on the other tack hoping thereby to escape the terror. Bn . the men were paralyzed. They let g«. halliards instead' of the braces, bowsed down the fore tack, and did other thing that might be expected of a badly fright ened crew of dagoes, until the crash o one of the upper yards was, added to tin. howling of the monster that was appnr ently ail tho timo approaching them. Tin brought tho captain on deck, where, And ing tho sails shaking, ho concluded tin. the trouble was due to a shift of wind and ordered tho wheel put hard up. Thi vessel had not lost headway, and she ini mediately wore round, bringing the un know terror dead ahead. “Soon after this was' done there cam .- the thump of a collision of the ship with some solid substance, producing an awfui yell that ended in a gurgle just under th-i bows. Tho teeth of the captain himself chattered, but the screams ended with the collision. By daylight the wreckage had been cleared away aloft, and only tin memory of a very bad scarce remained to the crew. When the ship reached per. tho captain related his story to his con signees, who at once reported the matter to mo. I then entered in my log ♦he state ment that on a certain date iko rhip St . Jego had passed, whistling buoy adrift, bet had probably carried away the whistle by colliding with it. ADRIFT OFF THE COAST. “There is one of these whistling buoys adrift now off the American coast.

Tho dancing girls, dressed in the ordinary cos tume of the women of the people—a bodice and a very short sarri—carries on her head a wicker wheel, placed perfectly horizontal. Round this wheel threads are attached at equal distances, which are provided at their extremities with a slip knot kept open by means of a gluss;bead.
