Somehow or other royal and imperial seafaring princes who have adopted life as a profession seem to be pur- sued with ill-luck, says London Amer- ican, At Petersburg not long ago the Grand Duke Alexis, lord high admiral of the Russian fleet, managed to run his yacht into the Russian steamship Limorno, with little damage to the latter, but -injuring the yacht to the extent of some 100,000 rubles. His | brother-in-law, the duke of Coburg, quitted active service in the British navy with his record besmirched by the loss of his flagship, the Sultan, on a rock near Malta. e queen’s nephew admiral, the prince of Leiningen,’ is celebrated in particular for his -feat in running down the yacht Mistletoe in the Solent while in command of the the queen herself being on board. Several lives were lost in tais collision. The sailor brother of the emperor of Germany has hitherto escaped maritime disaster from- the relatively small amount-ef sea service he has done. But his misfortunes on land have been uncommonly numer- ous, especially when he has been out shooting. only did he severely in- jure a gentleman by the acci- dental discharge of his gun at Corfu some years avo, but there is also a gamekeepei of his uncle, the grand N | duke cf Baden, who is in receipt of a handsome pension from the prince for the serious wound resulting from his carelessness in handling a gun. Arch- duke John of Austria, who passed the examination necessary to secure his papers as a licensed skipper, disap- veared from sight a few years ago | while rounding Cape Worn in his ship, | an d no one kaows to this day whether alive or dead. Indeed, the only sailor princes who have escaped mishap are the duke of York and the cn duke of Genoa. b INDIAN LEGEND. How the Mojaves Explain the Division of the Races. ery surrounding the origin of th ne Indian race is greatly enhanced i listening to some of the~ quaint ends, says the Los Angeles Herald. Here is one of them, related by the older men of the Mojave tribe: “At the time ef the Mojave, the white man, the negro and all other people lived together with their god, | Mulevelia, whose mother was the earth and whose father the heaven. “They were all supplied with food, + many luxuries. Besides these, they had tools and all kinds of implements and machinery to work g was manufactured, and atches, day Mulevelia died, and all the people, except the Mojaves, fled, after & the camps of everything ‘they lay ‘tk hands on, not even ng a match. re was a pretty state of affairs, the “dead god awaiting crema- here ive than to dispatch a messen- nd so hungry that he tried t up the dead god. astanho, the.man, sat by rubbing low sticks together, and produced fire, whiih they used in burning up Mulevelia. “After the cremation, ‘which took place somewher near Fort Mojave, the mountains at the foot of the canyon parted and the Colorado flowed through and swept the ashes. away. “Mastanho now became chief an divided the Indians into tribes and gay their their allotments of land.” Chinese Conjurers ‘The ccurt jugglers in the time of Kublai Khan made it appear to those who looked on as if dishes from the table actually flew through the air. Oue of the travelers who visited the regions of which Marco gives us some account, says: “And jugglers cause cups of gold to fiy through the air and offer themselves to ail who list to drink.” And Ibn Batuta, a Moor, who visited Cathay a century after, gives this ac- evunt of a similar incident: “That same night a juggler, who was one of the khan’s slaves, made his appearance, and the amir said to him: ‘Come and show us some of your mar- vels. Upon this he took a wooden ball with several holes in dt, through | which thongs were passed, and, laying | hold of one of these, slung it inte the | air. It went so high that we lost sight of it altogether. season of the year, and we were out- side in the middle of the palace court.) There now remained only a little of the end of a thong in the conjurer’s hand, and he desired one of the boys who assisted him to lay hold of it and mount. He did so, climbirg by the thong, and we lost sight of him also! The conjurer then called to him three times, but getting no answer, he snatched up a knife, as if in great rage, laid hold of the thong and disap- peared also- By and by he threw down one of the boy’s hands, then a foot, then the ether hand and then the other foot, then the trunk, and, last of all, the head! Then he eame down himself, all puffing and panting, and with his clothes all bloody, kissed the ground before the amir, and said some- thing to him in Chinese. The amir gave some order in reply, and our friend then took the lad’s limbs, laid them together in their places and gave them a kick, when, presto- there was the boy, who got up and stood before us! All this astonished me beyond measure, and I had an attack of pal- pitation which overcame me once fore in the presence of the sultan of India, when he showed me sopcte of the same kind.

Eight hundred years ago,all of the large cities of England had regular slave markets for the sale of white slaves from all parts of the kingdom. In the “Life of Bishop Wulfstand” the writer says: “It was a moving sight to see in the public market rows of young people of both sexes tied together and sold like cattle—men, unmindful of their obligations, delivering into slay- ery their relatives, and even their own children.” In anether part of this work it is noted that among these slaves were “particularly young wom- en, of fine proportions and of great beauty.” Weyler’s Warfare. “Give me my writing material,” said Weyler to his secretary, “Red cr black ink, sir?” “Red, you tool!

Two table d’hoters fell to discussing | the black eoffee question a few nights ago. and several other habitues of the table d’kote where the discussion took place chipped tn their little say-sos. It turned that, while a demi-tasse was as much as some could take without feel- ing its effects on their nerves, others could quaff a schooner and then retire and sleep as soundsy_as the servant when you happen to have forgotten | your latchkey. One of the chippers-in was a medical man, and he said thst coffee without milk and with but littie sugar, exercises’ the most beneficial in- fluence in many cases of sick and ner- vous headaches, especially if a little lemon or lime juice be added to it. “Some time before the death of the late Prof. Charcat,” said the man of medicine, “he was called to see a fam- ily made up of a father, mother, and six children, all of whom had beeome’ the victims of an-uncontrollable men-! tal irritability upon the slightest provo-; cation. They neyer sat down to a meal: without there being an explosion of bad tenfper, and sometimes the entire family would give way to hysterical crying at the same time. This was naturally a cery awkward state of af- fairs, especially when they had com- pany, and what made it worse the servants soon began to join in the gen- eral derangement. “That capped the climax, and the father sent for the professor to try and find out what was the trouble. Ip the middle ages the verdict of the wise men would have been that the house was haunted, and some one would | have been burned or hanged or cut in, quarters for bewitching the premises.) but as it was the end of the nineteentit century, Prof. Charcot looked into the’ hygiene of the neighborhood for the solving of the puzzie. , “On investigation he found that the: foan was a manufacturer and dealer in soffee and coffee essences, and that the eoasting grinding and making of hist stock was carried on in the rooms be- neath those where the family lived. The residential part of the building was permeated with the odor of coffee and all the furniture, hangings and one were saturated with the smell. In short, the family were suffering from chronic coffecism, and it was not until they had spent several weeks at the seasnore that they recovered their nomal mental health.--New York Subscribe for the Herald.

Moreover, they move with very precise relation of speed to the weak- ness of vision. If the left eye for ex- ample, is quite weak, the figures will move very quickly across the plane of sight to the right side, while if there {s bnt a slight defect the movement will be gradual, and so on. “A queer thing about this expert- ment is that, simple +3 it seems, it wil bring out defect of vision that have never been svspected, and another queer thing is that it will demonstrate the cases in which both eyes are of equal power to be surprisingly ex- & onal.

The young man was apparently trying to say good night and the youug woman evidently couid not hear him, for she was bending her head close te his.
