ANAMERICAN HERO. Ho UseHis Own Body to Stop a .eak In a Ferryboat. One n'ning in January, when the ice in t Hudson river ran unusually heavy. Hoboken ferryboat slowly cruncheher way through the floatin; floes u1 the thickness of the pack chokeder paddles in midriver. It was an ear morning trip, and the decks were owded with laboring men and the drtways choked with teams. The wome:and children standing inside the cans were a solid mass up to the swing doors. While she was gath ering :rength for a further effort an oceanag sheered to avoid her, veered a poi: and crashed into her side, cut ting :r below the water line in a great' shaped gash. A moment more and e disabled boat careened from the sock and fell over on her beam, helpss. Into the V shaped gash the watepoured a torrent. It seemed but a qution of minutes before she would lungheadlong below the ice. Whin 200 yards of both boats and freeof the heavy ice steamed the wreing tug Reliance of the Off. sho: Wrecking company, and on her dec- forward stood Captain Scott Wln the ocean tug reversed her en gita after the collision and backed cle: of the shattered wheelhouse of th&Cerrybo tt he sprang forward, stoop edlown, ran his eye along the water lir. noted in a -flash every shattered plak, climbed into the pilothouse of hi own boat and before the astonish espilot could catch his breath pushed ti nose of the Reliance along the rail o the ferryboat and dropped upon the ltter's deck like a cat. With a threat to throw overboard :ay man who stirred he dropped into tie engine room, met the engineer half ray up the ladder, compelled him to eturn, dragged the mattresses from :he crew's bunks, stripped off blankets and snatched up clothes, overalls, cot ton waste and rags of carpet, cram ming them into the great rent left by the tug's cutwater. It was useless. Little by little the water gained, bursting out firs+ below, then on one side, only to $e cale.2d out again and only to rush in once more. Captain Scott stood a moment as if undecided. ran his eye searchingly over the engine room, saw that for his needs it was empty, then deliberately tore down the top wall calking he had so carefully built up and before the en gineer could protest forced his own body into the gap, with his arm outside level with the drifting ice. An hour later the disabled ferry boat, with every soul on board, was towed into the Hoboken slip. When they lifted the captain from the wreck he was unconscious and barely alive. The water had frozen his blood, and the floating ice had torn the flesh from his protruding arm from shoulder to wrist. When the color be gan to creep back to his cheeks he opened his eyes and said to the doctor who was winding the bandages: "Wuz any of them babies hurt?" A month passed before he regained his strength and another week before the arm had healed so that he could get lis coat on. Then he went back to the Rteliance.-Everybody's Magazine. OLD TIME ZOOLOGY. The Queer Insects Lawson Discovered In North Carolina.. In the Raleigh state library is an interesting Old volume presented by President Madison in 1831. This quaint book is the first history of North Caro lina, written in 1741 by "John Lawson, Gent," a surveyor general of the lords proprietors. The history is well ,worth reading, but perhaps the most enter talning portion of its many pages is -that in which Mr. Laws'on describes the fiora and fauna of the new coun try. He is evidently the ancestor of the railway conductor who decided that, according to the rules of the road, "dogs is dogs and cats is dogs, but turtles is insects." "We will next treat of Beasts," says the historian, "The chief are the Buffe 1o, or Wild Beef; the Tyger; the Bever; ai the Bearmouse. The Buffelo is a WEid Beast of America which has a Bunch on his Back. These monsters are found to weigh (as I am informed by a Traveller of Credit) from 1100 to 2400 weight. "The Bat or Bearmouse is the same as il' England. I have put this among the Beasts as partaking of both the Nature of the Bird and the Mouse. Now I shall proceed to the known In sects of the Place. "Insects of North Carolina: Allega tors, Rattlesnakes, Trogs, Vipers, Tor tois, Terebin, Rottenwood Worms (etc.) "The Allegator is the same as the - Crocodile. After the Tail of the Alle gator is removed from the Body it will move freely for several Days. I have named these among the Insects be cause they lay Eggs, and I did not know well where else to put them." FERN LEAVES. They Are Valuable For Preserving Ar ticles of Food. The fern plant, which grows almost everywhere, is an excellent preserva tive for packing articles of food, fruit etc. People who have lived in Eng land know that the English have used it successfully for many years. Val nable fruit, fresh butter. etc., are nc longer seen in the English markets packed in grapevine leaves, but almosi always in fresh fern leaves, whic13 keep) the articles :xcellently. This is done where grapevine leaves are to be had in abundance. Every one posted well in botany knows the high preserv ative power of fern leaves with ref er ence to vegetable and animal sub stances. On the Isle of Man fresh herrings are packed in ferns and arrive on the market in as fresh a condition as whet they were shipped. Potatoes packed in ferns keep many months longer than others packed only in straw. Ex. periments made with both straw and fern leaves in the same cellar showed 'surprising results in favor of ferns While the potatoes packed in strau mostly showed signs of rotting in th( spring, those in ferns were as fresh as if they had just been dug. Fresh meat is also well preserved b3 fern leaves. It would seem as if th< highly preservative qualities of f err leaves are due to their high percentag of salt. No larvae, maggots, etc., ap proach ferns, as the strong odor keep: them away.--New York Times. Radishes. Radishes originated in China, wher they have been cultivated for man centuries and sometimes grow as bij as a mans head. In.

Moldering away on the wall of the old monastery in Milan, Italy, hangs the famous -Last Supper" of Leonardo da Vinci. Like every masterpiece, the painting required many years of pa tient labor, and as a result of that labor it is perfect in its naturalness of expression and sublime in its story of love. In addition to these qualities, it has an incident in its history that contributes not a little toward making it the great teacher that it is. It is said that the artist, in painting the faces of the apostles, studied the countenances of good men whom he knew. When, however, he was ready to paint the face of Jesue .a the pic ture he could tind none that would satisfy his conception. The face that would serve as a model for the face of Christ must be dignified in its sim plicity and majestic in. its sweetness. After several years of careful search the painter happened to meet one. Pietro Bandinelli, a choir boy of ex quisite voice, belonging to the cathe dral. Being struck by the beautiful features and tender manner that be spoke an angelic soul, the artist in duced the boy to be the study for the painting of the face of Jesus. All was done most carefully and reverently, but the picture was as yet incomplete, for the face of Judas was absent. Again the painter, with the zeal of a true lover of his art, set about in search of a countenance that might serve for the face of the traitor. Some years passed before his search was re warded and the picture finally com pleted. As the artist was about to dis miss the miserable and degraded wretch who had been his awful choice the man looked up at him and said. "You have painted me before." Hor rified and dumb with amazement, the painter learned that the man was Pie tro Bandinelli. During those interven ing years Pietro had been at Rome studying music, had met with evil companions, had given himself up to drinking and gambling, had fallen into shameful dissipation and crime. The face that now was the model for the face of Judas had once been the model for the face of Christ. - Brooklyn Eagle. PARIS CABBIES. The War of Words That Comes When They Block Each Other. There is no more entertaining way to spend an idle hour in Paris than to get into a taxicab and instruct the driver to go along some street where you will be reasonably sure to get into a jam or to bump against another cab. The charm of the experience is, of course, enhanced by your ignorance of what the cabbies say. Should your driver merely graze the wheels of another cab he will turn on his seat and yell mellifluously at the other driver, who in turn will shout back an assortment of vowels. But the best is a quarrel between two cab bies obstructing each other's way. The conversation, translated as nearly literally as is safe, goes in this wise: "Sacred name! Why do youy' "Holly blue! I do not!" "Stomach on the ground! You have the face of an ox!,, "Blue stomach! Are you in chains?' "A bas!'Name of a dog!" "Mon Dieu! Name of a pig!" "Wow (or words to that effect)! Name of a name!"~ "A thousand deaths! Name of a name of a name!" Now you begin to expect some do ings. While you have not fully un derstood, you are satisfifed that nothing but pistols and knives will wipe out the insults. UVnfortunately about. this time the jam is untangled and you are allowed to drive away, but the other driver yells after yours: "Aha! You are a little piece of brown soap!" It seems that this expression is the "fighting name" in Paris. Were it not that your cabby owes a duty to you and must convey you to your destina tion you know by his facial expres sion that he would climb down and get that other cabby and muss up the city with him. He contents himself with turning. about and making a face in the direc tion of his enemy and of going through the motion-of spitting at him. Then he says "Yoop!" to the horse, and the war is over.--Chicago Post. .TH ATCHING3. The Ancient Art In the Low Countries and in England. Once upon a time two amateur bot anists were hunting bog mosses on Exmoor, on the confines of the land of Lorn Doone. About the hour of .uncheon they found that their enthu siasm had led them 'far afield, a good hour and a half from the farmhouse which they had made their temporary headquarters. The only place which yielded promise of foodI was a shep herd's shack half a mile distant, so thither they went. That the shack, or. rather. ite owner, a small, wiry, dark man '-:.t curly hair, could offer nothing setter than brown bread, which a-as woefully "clit," or heavy, and raw onions is neither here nor there. The point was that the roof of the shack was artistically thatched with layers of plaited reeds. "Feyther taught I th' way to do un," explained the shepherd, with an up ward jerk of his thumb toward the roof. "An' his feyther taught 'iml avore that, an' his feyther avore that, an' back an' back twill nobody can think2" "A hereditary art evidently," said one of the moss hunters to his com panion. "But I never saw thatches like these outside of the Low Countries. Safe bet that this fellow is of Dutch descent." Then he said to the man of Devon. "And what is your name, may I asky' "'Well."~ replied the shepherd, "most volk call I Tan, but ma right name be Henry Van Torp. They do say that mr. gurt-grandfeyther were ai-vitin' against England an' were took prison. er- an' married a Devon girl an' set ted 'ereabout"-he indicated the south ward sweep of the moor-"but these be a lot of voolish tales to ma think in'.-Craftsman. A e~ Itliappened Before. adsl assertive itinerant preacher was ex patiating to a college graduate on his own eloquence. "Colleges," he declared, "ain't neces sary when a preacher's got a genuine call to the ministry. I'm thsrnkful to jsay the Lord opened my mouth with out educatIon." "That's interesting." returned his hearer. "Come to think of it, some thing like that happened several thou Isand years ago in connection with Ba Iam, wasn't it?"-Crcle;Mtagazine. CARDS IN CHURCH. They Were Not Uncommon In the Old Days In England. Frequent cases of card playing oc ,:urred in churches in olden days in the high or curtajied family pyews that were to be found in several parts of England. A case of card playing was men tioned by the poet Crabbe as having occ -red in one of those pews in Trow bridge parish church. Mr. Beresford Hope stated that card playing was not uncommon in churches having cur tained pews. where those occupying them were screened from the observa tion of the rest of the congregation, and that one of the Georges is credit ed with taking part at a game of whist in the church he attended. The church at Little Stannore, in Middlesex. has a luxurious room pew which is approached by a special door and staircase. The old St. Paul's cathedral before the great fire of London was used by business men as a sort of exchange. The portico was let out to hucksters, and in those days gambling and cards are both said to have been indulged in without let or hindrance within the cathedral.-Londonl Standard. Outwitting a Bushranger. In Mr. George E. Bozall's "Story of the Australian Bushrangers" the fol lowing little episode is related: A man named Michael. who went to an inn for food, found the place in the hands of the bushrangers. Fourteen guests were already disarmed and were being searched in order. Michael was com pelles to -take his place In line. The bushrangers handed him. a pannikin of tea before they took his money. Know ing what was coming, he held the pan nikin as if the tea were too hot to drink, and when the leader of the highwaymen was looking away drop ped his roll of bank notes into it. He stood quite quiet. and when the bush rangers came to feel his pockets there were only a few shillings in them. The robbers appeared satisfied and al lowe4 him to go. He carried his pan nikin out with him, took his money and put it in his pocket without being observed. Then he Miounted his horse, rode to the nearest police station and gave information. Her Indorsement. "Madam," said the teller of a bank in Baltimore to a woman who had handed him a check to cash-"madam, you have forgotten to indorse." A worried smile came to the wo man's face, but she took back the pa per and wrote something on the back thereof. When again the teller looked at the check he found that the woman had in dorsed as follows: "The -- bank has always paid me whatever it owed, and you need have no worry. .Therefore I indorse this check? Very truly yours, Anna M. Blank."-Harper's. KNOWN BY NICKNAMES. Places Where a Genuine Surname Is Never Even Heard. In many places in Great Britain, and especially in some of the fishing vil lages of Cornwall and of certain parts of Scotland, such a thing as a genuine surname is never even heard. Every man in the place- is known by a nick name. In most of these villages this has been brought about originally by the fact that all the inhabitants have only had very few surnames among them. One or two prevailing families have represented the population and have maried and intermarried till trying to distinguish a man by his surnarne has only created confusion. And even. some of the nicknames have begun to act in the same way. At a village not very far from'-Wick the writer knows of some fishermen who had originally been nicknamed "Dumpy'' and had left so many descendants that other specific nicknames had been necessary to distinguished which of the "Dum pys" was meant on given occasions. At another village not far from this one several nicknames have in the: same way become the only known fam ily names. The writer was once in Ithe general shop here when a small boy came in and asked for some ar ie, stating that it was for Blower. "Blower?" said the shopkeeper. "Which Blower? There are scores of Blowers?" The child answered at once: "It's for 'Bowleggit' Blower, 'Red Lugged' (eared) Blower's laddie." - London Answers. THE COCA PLANT. Its Leaves Used as an Invigorant In South America. Coca is the South American invig orant. The shrub from which the coca leaves are obtained grows under fa vorable conditions to a height of about four meters. It is cultivated in Peru and Bolivia. At the time the crop is gathered the seeds are sown in lieds, when they germinate and grow, and in two months the growing plants reach a height of about a foot. The leaves, grown in the proper sunlight and shade, are yellowish, small and thick. This is the kind of leaf that is pre ferred for chewing by persons using the leaf as a stimulant, fortifier and preventive of sleep and fatigue In the performance of arduous work, inas much as they prevent rheumatism, from which miners suffer when work ing in mines that contain much water. Sndians who masticate the leaves of his plant can work twenty-four hours without eating or sleeping. Coca leav-es are used by the natives when engaged in long and fatiguing journeys and by soldiers when subject to hardships and privations. They may be used with all kinds of food and are said to cure dyspepsia, either taken as an infusion in the shape of tea or by masticating the leaves. The life of the plant when perfect is eighty years. Chicago Tribune. The Sailor's Prayer Book. "This is what you call the saildr's prayer book." a seaman said bitterly as he kick'ed a holystone out of the way. "Why is It called that? Well. In the first place.- It is called that be cause In using It, in holystoning the eck, the sailor has to kneel do-wn,. and, in the second place, because all holystoing is done on- Sunday. Don't ou know the chantey "Six days shalt thou work and do all that thou art able And on the seventh holystonle the decks and scrape the cable. "The stone Is called holyst'one be suse the first holystones were bits of tombs stolen from cemeteries. It's got a pious, religious sound-holy and prayer book and Sunday and all that but it is when he is using this stone that the seaman is most profane." Iee rans Times-Democrat A BROKEN PANE OF GLASS. One That Once. Cost Citizen George Francis Train $60,000. A broken window pane once cost George Francis Train more th:n $O, 000. It was this way: Citizen Train, "with the brains of twenty men in his head, all pulling different ways," went to Omaha in the spring of 18G4. At that time he was the most talked of man in America. He had not a thing but money. He bought 5,000 city lots and altugether spent several hundred thousand dollars. iHe boarded at the Herndon House. the best hotel in sight. The quixotic Train was regular in only one thing-his habits. He always oc cupied the same seat at the table. One morning a pane of glass was broken out; of a window directly behind his chair. He protested and was advised to change his seat. He would not. In stead he paid a servant 10 cents a min ute to stand between him and the draft. After breakfast he expostulated with the landlord. bu: received no sat isfaction. "Never mind," said Train. "In sixty days I will build a hotel that will ruin your business." And he did. The contract was let that day. Scores of men were put to work. The site selected was Ninth and Harney streets, near the Missouri riv er. Citizen Train went to New York end engaged Colonel Cozzens. a noted caterer of that city, as manager for his hotel. The building alone cost $40.000. The furnishings cost $20.000 morg. In the basement was a gas plant, the only one west of St. Louis. The work was done on time, and, true to his word, sixty days after he threatened the man ager of the Herndon House George Francis Train, citizen of the earth, opened his hotel, which he called the Cozzens House. The grand opening ball was attended by the governor of Nebraska and his staff, the mayor of Omaha and many notables from other states. The house was a blaze of glory and a scene of almost oriental magnifi cence. Just when the big reception was well on there was a sudden flash, a strange noise, and then-total dark ness! The gas plant had collapsed. The Cozzens House did a flourishing business for a year or two, and the Herndon House was badly crippled. Finally Train fell out with his man ager, and the place was closed. After the business part of Omaha moved back from the river the Hern don House declined and finally re lapsed into a state of innocuous desue tude. A few years later it became the property of the Union Pacific railroad. VOODOO DOCTORS. Belief of Negroes In Their Ability to Work "Spells." A well educated and clever negro in Philadelphia related, with obvious sin cerity, an experience of his own with a famous voodoo "doctor" of that city who had grown rich from his wiz ardry. "Once a person had a writ out against me," this negro said. "The constable had it The magistrate was set against me. I went and got a charm from the 'doctor.' I met my enemy, but I was not seen. I met the constable, and he walked by and never noticed me. The magistrate did what he had never done before-for got all about It. The voodoo stopped it all." This same negro related another in cident of his experience: "Once I was nearly killed by a voo doo black cat, which used to come into the house. I threw a stick and hit it It was a witch. It tormented me. I was ridden in dreams like a horse. I suffered terribly. I was dying. I went to the voodoo 'doctor.' I 'paid him $5 for a spelL That night I awoke. The window was open; the moon was shin ing. I saw the little black witch hov eing up and down there. She was smaller than in her own body. She wore a very big, old fashioned bonnet. Her face was like that of the cat But she did not come any closer to me. Then she faded away. That ended it" The belief Is prevalent among the negroes that witches have power to as sume the forms of various animals. In South Carolina a means employed to guard against such visitations is to scatter rice or similar small grains thickly over the floor in the form of a cross. Before the witch can approach her. victim she must devour evpry grain. This task is too tedious for her patience, and she takes herself off. -Marvin Dana in Metropolitan Maga zine.
