Under the waters of San Diego bay, over by Point Loma, Cal., in the vicin- ity of the quarantine station, lies the dismantled hulk of some ancient gal- leon, which has probably lain there tor generations. As to how it got there and as to whether it belonged to Cabrillo or the fleet of some other explorer can be merely a matter of surmise, but its construction indicates that it is of very ancient date. It is said that the Portuguese fishermen have known of its whereabouts for a long time past, as they sail over the water all about that section. It remained, however, for two young men, John Skewes and a companion, one day recently to bring in the first tangible proof of its existence. In some manner they learned of the whereabouts of the old vessel, and there being an exceptionally low tide they started out to investigate it. After some little difficulty they locat- ed a part of the bow of what seemed to have once been a large vessel of very ancient construction. As far as they could get out in the water they found some ten feet of the bow, and the rest probably lies be- yond that in deep water. To a consid- ONE OF THE GALLEONS OF SPAIN. .

Upon in- vestigation of the planking which re- mained they found that in the whole construction not a single piece of iron or nails in any form had been used by the builders. Most of the’ planks had been attached by means of wood- ep pins, and what was still more re markable they. found in several spikes of copper. With considerable difficulty they removed one or two of the spikes and brought them back to the city. The spikes are about six inches long and plainly forged out by hand. The wreck is a matter of much speculation among those who have known of its existence and there might be an interesting tale in con- nection with it. The probabilities are that it is one of the deserted galleons of some old Spanish adventurer of an- cient days, which was sunk in the sands and had been gradually worn away by the action of a century’s tides.—San Francis¢o Call. ees CAUSE OF COW’S STRANGE BEHAVIOR. Amateur Parmers Much Alarmed Wanted to Over Antics of Animal Who Only Be Milked, The playwright, Glen MacDonough, tells a good story on himself, apropos of his first attempt to try to lead a ‘rural life. He and two other friends hired, some years ago, an old farm- ‘house in New Jersey. They would ' go out every night one summer, doing all their own work about the house and living on viands which they had , brought out from their clubs. After they had been in the country about three Weeks it occurred to them that there was one thing necessary to com- | plete the rural landscape. no cow. So they went to the nearest town and purchased an animal that was warranted pure Jersey. The cow was installed on the front lawn and became so tame that she slept on the piazza and wandered about every- where like a good club fellow. One morning in coming out of the house to catch the early train the three men were much alarmed at the odd con- duct of their new purchase. She was in a fierce mood, bellowing and lash- ing her tail. As McDonough went toward the gate she made one wild They had! Tush at him and he was forced to seek refuge in a tree. She held the rest of the party prisoners for some time. It was in July, and a fearfully hot day. There was no doubt about it. The cow was mad. The manag- ing editor of a newspaper, who was one of the party, made his escape by a window and the back way, and hast- ened to town to consult a veterinary surgeon. This gentleman consented to go down to the farm for $10 down, and his railroad fare. He arrived, and the besieged man watched the proceedings with interest. The cow had settled down, but still looked wild. The vet approached. He look- ed at the cow 2 few minutes and then went into the house. Then he sized up the three men for one moment and made the laconic remark, “Milk her.” It had never occurred to the city men that cows had to be milked, and the animal had been with them three weeks without having been re- lieved, and was consequently in an unhappy state. And this famous first can of milk cost the trio $12. | LIKE THE OLD HOME IN ERIN. Wealthy Pittsburg Man Has a Fine Reproduction in His Yard of the Ancient Family The finest replication of an Irish house in America, says the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph, stands in the yard of James R. Mellon, corner of North Negley and Rippey streets, East End. It has been erected regardless of cost, and is an exact duplicate of the ancestral home in Ireland, where Judge Thomas Mellon, now in his 90th year, was born in 1813. It is built of stone, has small light windows, is thatched, the annex cov- ered with Antwerp tile, the house is covered with vining roses and the building is a veritable thing of beauty. The home in Ireland stood near the banks of Lough Foyle, at Camp Hill Cottage, Lower Castleton, Parish of Cuppaugh, County Tyrone. It was built by Judge Mellon’s grandfather, and occupied by the judge’s father, Andrew Mellon, who came to America in 1818, landing at Baltimore with his large family. It required three weeks to cross the mountains in a Conestoga wagon to Greensburg. Squire Robert M. Graham, of Ligo- THE SENSE OF HUMOR. Proof That It Is Not Confined to Sex, Age or Condition. The crude humor that makes the small boy want to throw a stone at a silk hat on a man bristling with dig- nity is not to be disposed of as a mere ill-conceiyed prank of youth. There is deep in most people a spring of unsubduable humor that leaps glee- fully when conscious dignity gets a fair tumble. That is why, for all the solemnity ofthe place, the soberest charity and the best bred propriety in the world could not prevent a titter at a little farce that happened in a | church in Brooklyn. A gentleman and his wife, who were offended at something the preacher said, gravely rose and stalked toward the door, with their heads held high in assertive disdain. The wife follow- ed the husband. Unfortunately, when they were half- way down the aisle, the husband drop- ped his glove and stooped to pick it up. Fate, the humorist, determined that the wife should keep her head’ so high that she did not see her husband stoop. She went sailing on and doubl- ed over him in riotous confusion. The congregation held its breath and kept its composure. The two recover- ed themselves and went on. Hoping { to escape quickly, they turned to what looked like a side door. The husband pulled it open with an impressive swing. Before he could close it out tumbled the window pole and a long duster and a step ladder. The con- gregation could hold its mirth no longer, and man and wife fled to the real exit in undignified haste, amid a general and persuasive snicker. RRR nen House in Ireland. nier, says that he can remember when his relatives, the Mellons, came down the slopes of the Laurel hill into the beautiful Ligonier valley. The family came near settling at Eldersridge, where the father had been negotiating for a farm, but had decided to buy near Turtle creek. When James R. Mellon visited the old home in Ireland a couple of years ago he brought home with him the cornerstone of the old house, with the letters “A. M.” and “1790” carved upon it, and this stone now has a place in the house he has built, just over the old fashioned open fireplace. The andirons and some other relics are also from the old house in Ireland. It is a quaint sight and it touches sentimental chords to enter the East End house through the ancient style door, the upper half opening separate ly, to tread the stone floor, see the spinifing wheel in the corner of the room, the old time cupboard, chair and tables and crane in the wide open fire place. THE ONLY COMPLAINT LEFT.” Ingenious Excuse That the Boy Offered for Smoking. Tn an Irish town the lads of a school acquired the habit of smoking, and resorted to the most ingenious meth: ods to conceal it from the master. In this they were successful until one evening, when the master caught them puffing most vigorously. “How now?” shouted he to one oi | the culprits. “How dare you to be | smoking?” “Sir,” said the boy, “I-am subject ta headaches, and a pipe takes off the pain.” “And you? and you? and you?” in- quired the pedagogue, questioning every boy in his turn. One had a “raging tooth”; another, “colic”; the third a “cough”; in short, they all had something for which the weed was an unfailing remedy. “Now, sir!” bellowed the master ta the last boy, “pray, what disorder do you smoke for?” Alas! all excuses were exhausted, but the interrogated urchin, putting down his pipe and looking up in his master’s face, said, in a whining, hypo critical tone: i “I smoke for corns, sir!” Her Philosophy.

David Meekison is well known not only in his own State, but throughout America. He began his political career by serving four consecutive terms as Mayor off the town in which he lives, during which time he became widely ‘known as the foundeg of the Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress by avery large majority, and is theacknowledged leader of his party in hissection of the State. Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising statesman. Cae tarrh with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp was his only unconquered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At last Peruna ' came to the rescue, and he dictated the following letter to Dr. Hartman as the result; ‘<I have used several bottles of Peruna and I feel greatly benefited ; thereby from my catarrh of the head. I feel encouraged to bélieve that if @ 1 use it a short time. longer | will be fully able to eradicate the disease of >| thirty years’ standing.’’—David Meekison, Member of Congress. ‘HE season of catching cold is upon us. The cough and the sneeze and the nasal twang are tobe héardon every hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the most common and dreadful of diseases, is a cold. This is the way the chronic catarrh gen- erally begins. A person catches cold, which hangs on longer than usual, The cold gen- erally starts in the head and throat. Then follows sensitiveness of the air passages which incline one to catch cold very easily. At last the person has a cold all the while seemingly, more or less discharge from the nose, hawking, spitting, frequent clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped up, full feel- ing in the head, and sore, inflamed throat. The best time to treat catarrh is at the very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop- erly used, never fails to cure a common cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh. isk voaur druggist for a free Pe-ru-na Almanac. While many peqple have been cured of chronic catarrh bya single bottle of Peruna, yet, asa rule, when the catarrh becomes thoroughly fixed more than one bottle ia necessary to complete a cure. Peruna has cured cases innumerable of catarrh of! twenty years’ standing. It is the best, if not the only internal remedy for chronia catarrh in existence. But prevention is far better than cure, !
