river. And so, where the Hussar sank so
long ago, lies her hulk. Thc diver got
out the stern-post but didn’t find any
treasure. I don’t believe that any treas
ure will be found on the site of the wreck.
I have heard that official documents' in
England show that, after the Hussar
struck, the treasure was loaded into her
barge, which upset from the shifting of
some boxes of the coin opposite a red
house on Randall’s Island. Some people
have a crazy notion that Captain Kidd’s
vessel with a vast deal of treasure went
down off Peekskill, and not long ago a

1 heard a little »toTy of Col. Markbrcil
ex-Assistant Treasurer of the United
States at Cincinnati, that is worthy of
tho types. The Colonel is ono of the
principal proprietors of the Volkthlntt,
a German newspaper of influence and re
spectability. Cutler the 1 olkMiU office
is a beer saloon, which the reporters and
clerk* about the establishment seem to
have been in the habit of patronizing oc
casionally. A knock on the counting-
room floor was thc signal for the man of
beverage to send up a glass of beer; two
knocks indicated two beers, and so on.
CoL Morkbreit came into the office late
one night. It had been mining and the
Colonel had no umbrella, lie stumped
about on the floor to kn<vk the rain off
his boots and clothing, and in less than
no time a beer jerkef made his appear
ance from below with 'twenty-seven
schooners of beer on a trey. ..‘‘Where
•re you going with that stuff?” demanded
the Colonel.
“Here,” said Cumbrians; it vos or
dered.”
“Who ordered it?”
“Veil, I suppose it vos yoursellef.”
“Veil, I suppose it Tssn’tmysellcff, 11 re.
torted the Colonel in indignant imita
tion.
“Veil, ainahow, Mr. Morkbreit I saw
you in the office komin’and heard you

The Colonel compromised by paying
for all of them, but at the same time
warning the beermongcr never to do it

A correspondent states, as a matter of
curious ana interesting information, that
recent excavations in Greece prove be
yond question that at the time of the
Trojau war there were fashions in
women’s jewelry. Why not?
Embroidered crepe llssc is still used for
draperies, flounces, neck and sleeve ruf
fling, and is a lovely light material,
whether embroidered in linen or silk, but
has an unfortunate habit of getting
“slimpsy” on the slightest jiossible prov
ocation.
The trains of summer bridal dresses are
frequently made detachable and of rich
satin, or broche, while the entire under
dress is of light crepe, or gauze, or lace
over satin, the bodice being of the stuff
of the train. The dress can thus Ins con

It is quite the fancy to make the sleeve

“Yes, a diver is exposed to a good
many dangers. One of them, you’ll be
surprised to learn, is falling asleep. On
a hot day the contrast between the heat

water is apt to make a diver sleepy. I

Why the Cow Died.

died of” is very common in the mouth of
the peasantry, though all who use It may
not understand its origin. '

rackets or bats on the streamers, is the
preferred wear for tennis, croquet and
other out-of-door games.
Mrs. Agnew and Miss Dodge, the two
women members of the New York School
Board, pay particular attention to the
sanitary condition of the schools, and to
all matters relating to the comfort of the
buildings. They notice little defects
which escape the attention of men. The
janitors are said to be dismayed when
asked to show the cellars.
Thc Empress of Russia’s health and
mental condition is causing great alarm.
Thc hopeless sickness of her eldest son,
the calamity of her sister, the Duchess of
Cumberland, and the terrible anxiety
caused by the precautions taken against
Nihilists have combined to make a broken
and miserable woman out of a princess
who was once noted for her wild animal
spirits and her fondness for playing good-
natured practical jokes on her friends.

On arriving at the beach inquire about

Do not remain too long in thc water,
especially if not very robust.
After meals, and especially after taking
alcoholic liquors, do not bathe.
