In the museum at Kingston, Jamai- oa, there are some tattered ships’ pa- pers, brown with age and salt water, and a small tin canister. These artl- cles attest the truth of the strangest pirate story ever told. In 1799 the crew of the Nancy brig were apparent- ly honest traders, but did some piracy now and then on the side. One day they found it necessary to go into Kingston for supplies. Before doing 80 they naturally removed all traces of their buccaneering trade. Among other things they threw overboard this tin canister stuffed with papers taken from ships they had sunk, with com- ments written on the margin by the pirate captain. Later in the day a British frigate was becalmed near the spot, and the sailors spent their leisure catching sharks! Presently they haul- ed up a big fellow, cut him open and found the tin case with the papers in- side. These were-taken to the captain, who, as soon as a breeze Sprung up, sailed into Kingston harbor, found the Nancy brig there and had the crew tried, convicted and hanged in chains at Port Royal. Payment In Kind. French novelists - are occasionally pald in kind instead of cash. Many of the best known Paris newspapers man- age to supply their readers with con- temporary fiction for. which the writers do vot receive a penny. Ior instance, a novel is published in serial form for which the paywent at three half pence a line would amount to £80, This pay- ment is always made in space. not- in money. That is to say. the newspaper Inserts for. the author, free of charge. a certain number of advertisements or press notices relating either to his own books or those of other ‘authors. ~If he can succeed in obtaining any money. from the latter lie is at Hberty to do 80. The n;mce varies ('umldernbly ln Ways of the Alligator, Late.one afternoon, when the lagoon | was aglow with the wonderful copper: hues of a Papuan sunset, some one: polnted out to me a long dark streak, moving swiftly across the water 200 or 800 yards away, and in the streak just the slightest speck of black. It was an alligator at last! “Now you see why you can't go swimming in° the lagoon,” I was told. “They are worse than sharks, They dou’t show themselves and give you a chance. They just come down un- derneath you and pull you doin, and that's all you or any one elsé knows about it. They don't eat yon at once, only hold you under the water until you are drowned or half pulled fto pleces and then store you away some- where under a bank or in-a hole till you are ‘high' euough to be savory= Just as you would do with a pheasant, you know. He's-a knowing beggar, the alligator. The shark fisn't in it with him for brains and savvy.”—Wide World Magazine. The Spider. Of all the solitary insects I have ever seen the spider is the most saga- cious, and its actions to one who has attentively considered them seem al- most to excel belief, The spider is formed by nature for a state of war, not only upon other lusects, but upon its fellows. For “this state nature seems to have formed it with singular perfection. Its head and breast are covered with a strong natural coat of wmail, which is impenetrable to the at- tacks of every other lnsect, and its lower parts are enveloped in a soft, pliant skin which eludes the sting even of a wasp. Its legs are terminated by strong claws not unlike those of a lob- ster, and their vast length, like spears, serves to keep every assailant at a safe distance. Not worse furnished for observation than for attack or de- fense, it has several eyes, large and transparent, covered with a horny sub- stance, which, -however, does not im- pede its vision.—Scotsman, Not What They Seemed. A marquis who was in residence for a few days at a Parlsian hotel discoy- ered that her pearl necklace, worth $15,000, had disappeared from her’ room. Suspicion fell on a messenger boy, who admitted his guilt, but de- clared that the mecklace had been taken from him by his mother. The mother corroborated her son’s state- ment, expressing astonishment that so much trouble should be made about “a trashy little trinket,” which, she explained, looked so cheap and tawdry that she had given it to her daughter- in-law. This young woman, in her teens, displayed an equal contempt for the “bits of things.” She told the po- Hce that she had given the necklace to her little girl to wear, but she had removed about half the beads. All the missing pearls were found in a box among buttons and hooks and eyes. Easy Divorce In Old Times. The code of King Khammurabi of Assyria, wbose date is approximately 2200 B. C., which has been disciphered from a pillar discovered at Susa, deals exhaustively with the subject of di- vorce. One of the most interesting clauses is the following: “If the wife of a man who dwells in the house of that man has set her face to go forth and has acted the fool and wasted his house and impoverished his house, they shall call her to account. If the husband shall say, ‘T put her away,’ he shall put her away. She shall go her way. Ifor her divorce he shall give her nothing.” Too Careful. An old man was brought up before a country judge. accused of stealing General Johnson's chickens. Have you any witnesses?”’ “No, sah,” old Jethro answered haughtily. “I hab not, sah. I don't steal chickens befo’ witnesses, sah.”’— Minneapolis Journal. $160 Reward, $100, Tho renders of this paper will be plessed to learn that there is at least dread S aec it omse had votn abla o care in all -its stages, and that is Oatarrh, Hall's Catarrh Cure {s the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity.
