British Captain Thinks Late Mutineers
Are on Pitcairn Island.
New York. Deo. K.—The captain r:
the British ship Howth. from Austr.i
lia. reports, according to a Herald
dispatch from San Francisco, that
Sept. 2.'*. when off Pitcairn island, fire
signals were notieoablo. He say
he made every effort to take his shij
In. but he was baffled in his attempts

The captain is of the opinion that

THE TURKISH WOMAN.
Her Friday I soursioun on tbe Sweet
Water* of Anin.
Friday is the only day on which
Turkish women enjoy a little liberty
and release from the dreadful seclusion
'.he*h they are always kept, and
the;. .»re nut blow to avail themselves
of the chance. On Fridays every one
£oes to the Sweet Waters of Asia,
which consist of a small river running
about tu<> miles inland, with trees and
mead< vvs o:i each side. Hundreds of
l*oat> aI»|** nod glide up and down
the river, livery bout nr caique has
two or more Turkish ladies on board.
The s i1.t is a very line one, as each
private <-ai.ji e is most carefully got
up. and the boatmen wear brilliant liv
eries ’-i i:is:t< a the cushions and tlie
long embroidered eh th which hangs
over the stern and trails in the water.
The khedivah of Kgypt is one of the
finest, in crimson and gold, embroid
ered with crowns an 1 fishes. Besides
the liverios the parasols make a won
derful show, and here may be seen all
the latest Parisian creations. The la
dies must not speak to men, but the
careful observer can frequently catch
sight of veils lowered or other signal
given when a particular boat Is pass
ing, and habitual frequenters can point
out boats which are sometimes close to
each other. It is a very Innocent di
version and would not satisfy western
ladles. An hour before sunset the po
lice boats appear and force all women
to leave.—London Telegraph.
Paxil the Tyrant.
Paul 1. of Russia was very deaf and
also very tyrannical. One day an
aid-de-caiup, intending to please him,
approached and cried in his ear. “I
am glad to see, your majesty, tiaat
your hearing is much Improved!”
“What is that you say?” growled the
czar.
Raising his voice, the aid-de-camp
said, “I am glad that your majesty’s
hearing is so much improved!”
“Ah, that’s it, eh:” chuckled the
czar, and then added. “Say it once
more.”
The aid-de-camp repeated the words,
whereupon Paul 1. thundered, “So you
dare to make fun of me. do you? Just
wait awhile.”
Next day the aid de-camp was on
his way to the mines of Siberia.

Scotland’* Hound Tower*.
Scotland boasts of two round towers,
said to he stragglers from the great
typical group found In Ireland. The
one is attached to the handsome cathe
dral of Brechin and the other stands in
the center of Abernethy, near the en
trance gate to the churchyard. The
Brechin tower, built in six irregular
rourses and rising over 100 feet, is the
more perfect of the two. It dates from
Kenneth’s reign, 1)71-1*5, and has a most
graceful appearance. Pennant in his
history speaks of having, in 1772, found
handsome bells within its walls. These
were afterward removed and now hang
in a neighboring steeple. The origin of
towers is now somewhat doubt-
hut archaeologists are generally
d t!..it they were built in connec-
wii:» churches “for defense and
•s:; of watch” during the
i raids. They were afterward
•1 fries, the Brechin tower linv-
duiy as such for generations,
r is now one of the sights of
!.t town and is legarded as a
of its early c< nectiou with
Scottish-American.
Tin* ( hniu.ctl Grizzly.
There are numerous reliable state
ments of grizzly hears having attacked
umn. but nowadays the grizzly does not
seek out his human vict.ms, as there
are credible statements that his fore
fathers u.-ed to do. Neither does he
lie in wait and, pouncing upon a hunt
er, tear him into bloody shreds in de
lighted fiendishness, as the old time
stories used to tell. The change in the
grizzly’s disposition Is likened by vet
eran hunters to the change in the char
acter of the white cousin of the grizzly,
the polar hear of the aictlcs. Wien
the stations for the Hudson Bay com
pany were established, the diaries of
the men there often referred to tho
fright of attacks by polar hears. Many
a navigator in the arctic seas has been
clawed and chewed to death by polar
hears. But for nearly a century the
polar bear has not been regarded as so
very fierce, and nowadays it is looked
upon as a cowardly beast. Association
with armed men has mod.fled the polar
bear’s disposition.—Outing.

“As fur pansies, every one you pick
shall have a different character. Some
are per vers**, like bashful babies, and
will not look you in the face. Some
are confining, and some are even bold.
Go and study them if you are an un
believer, and you shall find that many
things that we call human traits be
long In almost equal proportions to
plants and animals.”

sects have certain positive or negative
values in medicine. In Peking It Is
customary to give two or three scor
pions or spiders to a patient ill of fever.
In Ireland the peasantry swallow small
spiders alive to effect cures. From
these the cobweb pill of the New Eng
land native was easy. In Flanders the
live spider is fastened into the empty

neck of the patient. As the creature
