Satisfy the Pleasure of a Drive. A fine carriage doubles the pleasure of driving. Intending buyers of carriages or harness can save dollars by sending for the catalogue  in high favor with sailors from remote antiquity. Originally they were carved to represent some god or saint. Even today a sailor would hesitate to sail on an ironclad without such protection. The ceremony of launching a ship is merely a concession to an old superstition. The various formalities of ship christening have been followed with little variation for centuries. In the early days of shipbuilding it was the custom for the captain and the crew to eat their first meal stowed away in the mold loft. Their meal invariably consisted of eggs and sulfur. From this custom has come the present-day practice of providing cakes and wine for the crew. And the old libation which the priests used to pour over the prow of the ship as she slipped into the water has been replaced by the breaking of a bottle of champagne. The modern man-of-war dashes into the water with flags waving from every masthead. In order to gratify this old superstition it has been necessary to expend hundreds of dollars for the christening of a single ship. But no one be grudges this extravagance. In a way it is necessary. The good or ill luck of certain days is still a belief among the sailors. Friday is a day of ill omen, and Sunday is usually a lucky day. A superstition about women is a relic of the old belief in witchcraft. It is thought that a woman by throwing sand in the air on shipboard can produce violent storms. Not many years ago some women who traveled on English warships were tortured during a storm to make them quiet the waves. These barbaric beliefs, however, are partially compensated by the superstition which sailors have held for centuries that beautiful children bring a blessing to a ship. The Neck was a handsome boy with golden curls. It is said that he is always accompanied by a black lamb and carries with him a golden harp. Our old salts have especial confidence in a ship which is christened by a child. The average sailor is superstitious about the ringing of the ship’s bells. In olden times the bells were blessed before they were used. At present, if a mistake is made in striking the hour, the sailors insist that the bells at once be struck backwards to break the spell, and if by any chance the wind should catch the bells and swing them all the way around, or if they strike nine bells, it is believed that it will be the last of that ship. All good warships go to the “shores of Fiddler’s Green” as a final resting place. Just where this mythical harbor is situated no geographer has yet decided. It is in every way the antithesis of “Davy Jones’ locker.” A warship which goes down in battle with her flags flying, as occurred several times during the civil war, goes to “Fiddler’s Green.” The tattooing habit is, of course, very common in the navy. It is believed that an arm or a leg decorated with the design of a gun or a sword or some such design will never be lost in battle.— San Francisco Call. A Real Utopia. Dunwich, Moreton bay, Queensland, consists of about 1,000 inhabitants. In four years There have only been two births and two deaths. There are no streets, no omnibuses or trains, no soldiers, no police, no shops. There is a beautiful theater, and everyone is admitted free. Clothes are free, and so are food and lodging. Every few do any work, and there are no hotels. Very little money is required, and medical attendance is free. There is a lockup, but that is not used. There is also a post office, and if short of money the letters are stamped free. There is also a free hospital and library.—London Tit-Bits. His System. Shippen Clark (to his employer, leaving the office) —Oh, Mr. System, haven’t you forgotten your umbrella? It’s raining. Mr. System—Can’t help it. I have made a resolution to have one here and one at home, to provide for all emergencies. Now, if I take this one, they’ll both be at home.—London Fan. The languages in Palestine are Armenian and Hebrew, even the smallest children speaking the purest Bible Hebrew. There are said to be 5,000 temperance societies in London. The heart grows sad sometimes when strange hands waken A strain, a melody of other days, And backward through the past the mind goes swaying Till heartstrings snap in twain on which he plays. I walked today along the village highway, A sunny head was bared, a form bent low — Ah, with a pang it brought to me sweet memories Of one so like him in the long ago! But bitter sweet, the memories that awaken The love that filled Each heart was never told, For both of us were proud, and I, so fearful My secret should be known, was silent, cold. Ah, well, the same old tale, so oft repeated! I knew not that he loved me—ah, you smile— 'Twas after years I learned it, but he never. Never knew I loved him all the while. —Rose Van B. Speece. The Comfort and Healthfulness of Woven- Straw Sandals. "I may seem to be quarreling with my bread and butter," said an up-town chiropodist to one of his best customers the other day, "but in my humble and somewhat professional opinion, the most sensible of all men in the matter of footwear is the Chinaman. Did you ever notice his feet? I don’t believe there is such a thing as a corn or a bunion in all China. Chiropodists would starve to death there so far as the requirements of the masculine foot are concerned. Whatever the deformities inflicted on the feet of women in China may be, the men certainly enjoy sound and comfortable understandings. Look at the Chinese laundrymen here in Washington. They stand at their work 18 hours a day. No class of workingmen I know of spend so many hours on their feet as they do. Yet they never break down there, and, physically, they are a wonderfully healthy race. “Simple living and freedom from the nervous pursuits of our civilization may have something to do with it, but I attribute their exemption from foot weakness and disease to the kind of house shoe so universally worn by them. I have a pair that I have worn for several years, and I wouldn’t wear anything else for genuine indoor comfort. They are woven of straw and seaweed and soled with horse hide. There is a thick sole of straw above the leather, and through this the air can circulate freely, keeping the muscles of the under part of the foot always cool. The laundrymen, you notice, are usually bare foot, which is an added advantage in the matter of healthfulness. There is about as little material in the uppers as is consistent with the idea of a shoe, and this is just enough to keep the thing on the foot. This upper, too, is woven loosely of seaweed, so that the air can have access to the foot. Nowhere does this shoe pinch or in the least degree press the foot. “These are the indoor shoes of the Chinaman. On the street here in the United States nowadays he wears very commonly the leather shoes or boots of American manufacture. That is one of the ways in which he is becoming Americanized. But the outdoor cloth shoe of China is a great deal worn also. That, like the indoor shoe, is very thick and soft in the sole, and the foot is never pinched or strained by it. The ’ healthiest footgear ever known proba j bly was the sandaj of the Greeks. It I had no upper, and, as you will see in ! statuary, the feet of men and women were ideally perfect. All the sandal af forded was a protection from the ground. ‘To him who wears sandals, ’ say the ‘Arabs, ‘it is as if the world were shod with leather. ’ . The Chinaman seems to follow out this motto, and his shoes are nearly soles and nothing more. But the great secret of the excellence of his in door shoe is the half inch straw sole.” —Washington Star. * A certain Greek adventurer some years ago undertook to palm off upon the public some false copies of the gos pel manuscripts. Many learned men were deceived, but not Dr. Coxe, libra rian of the Bodleian library at Oxford. How he detected the fraud is related in his own words in The Spectator: I never really opened the book, but I held it in my hand and took one page of it between my finger and thumb while I listened to the rascal’s account of how he found this most interesting antiquity. At the end of three or four minutes I handed it back to him with the short comment, “Nineteenth century paper, my dear sir,” and he took it away in a hurry and did not come again. Yes, I was pleased, but I have han dled several ancient manuscripts in my time, and I know the feel of old paper. Scene—Editor’s sanctum. Printer (rushing in excitedly)—Here’s a go! Johnson, the murderer, has just been found innocent, and the government has telegraphed a pardon. We’ve got the whole account of the hanging set up, with illustrations, and the form is on the press. Editor (coolly)—Don’t get excited, man. Just put over the account in large capitals: “Johnson Pardoned. Full Account of What He Escaped!”—Pearson’s Weekly. Couldn’t Translate It. “Is that your baby?” asked the interested party. “What a cute little child! What is he saying now?” “I don’t know,” replied the perplexed father. “You see, his mother carries the code book.”—Philadelphia North American. All at Sea.

Milwaukee, Aug. 31.—The Democratic state convention meets in this city at the Lyceum theatre at noon, to nominate a full state ticket. Judge Hiram W. Sawyer of Hartford, and Timothy E. Ryan of Waukesha, have been the most active aspirants for the governorship nomination. The campaign for delegates has been a very quiet one, and the majority of the 663 members of the convention will go in to the hall uninstructed. Ryan is known to have a large majority of the delegates from Milwaukee county, but the supporters of Sawyer claim their man will have a big lead in the rest of the state, and the outlook at present seems to favor the Hartford man. W. H. Rogers of Madison is also a candidate. It is believed many of the delegates will cast their ballots for former Governor George W. Peck, but Mr. Peck, as chairman of the state central committee, has not been working for the nomination and is not a candidate. However, there is a possibility that the convention might get into a wrangle over the other candidates and throw the nomination to the ex-governor. Little or no attention has been paid to the balance of the ticket. Ex-Attorney General O’Connor of Milwaukee, will undoubtedly be selected as the presiding officer. The platform will declare for the free coinage of silver. General Robert E. Lee was in the cars going to Richmond one day and was seated at the end farthest from the door. The other seats were filled with officers and soldiers. An old woman, poorly dressed, entered at one of the stations, and finding no seat, and having none offered to her, approached the end where the general was seated. He immediately rose and gave her his seat. Instantly there was a general rising, each one offering his seat to the general. But he calmly said: “No, gentlemen, if there was no seat for the infirm old woman, there can be none for me.” The effect was remarked. One after another got out of the car. The seats seemed to be too hot for them, and the general and the old lady soon had the car to themselves.
