Long be fore the ship sailed, she being de­ tained by adverse winds, the mysterious actions of the strange couple had aroused the suspicions of the towns­ people, and there were many who pro­ nounced them witches, if, indeed, they were not demons--actual children of Satan in fleshy guise.

The young lady in the case lives--well, in this city. 8*©>8 very fond of base-ball--so fond, & fact, that she watched the games very closely last season, and had a bet or two on every one of them. The first • part of the season she won, but along about August she commenced to lose. Her pocket money went to pay her losses, and when that was gone she com­ menced to pawn her valuables. Her watch was brought to me first, her father missed that and she had to re­ deem it next day or be found out. Then she pawned a set of eardrops, and finally she brought me a diamond ring, which I noticed she took off the first finger of her left hand. I suspected she wai gambling and I hesitated about taking the ring, but she answered me she wanted only a little money to pay a bill and would be able to redeem it in a few days. "I guess it was about "a week later when she pushed into my shop again. She was very much excited, and I knew something was wrong. As soon as she could get her breath she pulled her watch out and wanted to know if I would accept it in exchange for her ring. I knew her family very well, so I told her that I would not accommodate her un­ less she told me what was the matter. She refused at first, but finally she came to terms and told me the whole story. The ring was her engagement. "Her lover had been away, but he had come home suddenly and had missed the little golden pledge of their engagement the first thing. She had satisfied him by saying she had left it on her washstand, but that excuse wouldn't work more than once, so she had to have the ring or confess, and confession would mean war. Well, I gave her the ring and let her keep the watch, too. She quit betting and a week later paid me all she owed me. A couple of weeks ago she was married, and I am inclined to think she is a bet­ ter wife than she would be if she hadn't learned that little lesson on gambling." Superstition in Turkey. A study of Turkish superstition might help to explain much that is mysterious in the news telegraphed daily from Stnmboul to the newspapers of the Giaour. Notwithstanding'the progress the Turks have made of late years in the arts of civilization, Zadkiel is supreme king over the length and breadth of the Ottoman Empire. From the highest to the lowest, all are a prey to the devoutest superstition. The office of Munedjim Bashi, or Court Astrologer, still exists. Its present occupant, Iladli Taliir Effendi, was until 1877 President of the Council of Education, and during the short exist­ ence of the Turkish Parliament, nine years ago, was created a Senator. His -^duties are not of a very complex kind, but they have an important bearing on political and social movements. For every action of the Sultan and his Ministers ho has to calculate tlie most propitious day, hour, and even minute, and lr» publishes annually an almanac, in which, for the benefit of the whole Mohammedan population, the days are specified on which it is l>est to have the hair cut or the nails trimmed, to take medicine, or to be bled, to visit friends, to buy houses, lands, or slaves, to un­ dertake a journey, and even to do nothing. Next to the Koran no work is more widely studied among the sub­ jects of the Padishah, and it is very doubtful whether even the great Evangel of the Prophet is more scrupu­ lously observed. Some curious stories of Turkish superstition are related. The mys­ terious caprice with which distin­ guished arrivals at Constantinople are treated by the Sultan and his Ministers is explained by an anecdote told of the well-known astronomer Peters when he visited Constantinople in 1850 with letters of introduction from Humboldt and other eminent men of science. He found it impossible to proceed with the mission with which he was charged, because on the same day that be was presented to the Graud Vizier, Reshid Pasha, by the German Ambassador, the man-of-war Nustretie Was blown up in the arsenal. "This Frankish astronomer," the Grand Vizier is re­ ported to have said, "either knew that the explosion was going to take place or did not know. In the former event he is a mischievous person for not warning us; "in the latter he is an im­ postor. " And forthwith the word was passed that Peters was not to be en­ couraged or assisted. Sometimes a visitor unconsciously carries his con­ demnation in his name. In the reign of Abdul Aziz no one was more per­ sistently snubbed at court than Dr. Muhlig, physician to the German Em­ bassy, and all because the Turks pro­ nounced his name "Muchlik," which in Arabic means "murderer." Diplomat­ ists would be well advised if, before they approached the Sublime Porte on any public question, they considered these weaknesses of the Moslem mind. It would be especially useful if they consulted diligently the almanac of the court astrologer. An examination of the history of Sir Heury Drummond Wolff's recent mission io the light of that work might l>e full of interest Much that is yet inexplicable in the Go to your room an hoar before re­ tiring, and read until bed-time. Give up smoking all together. If you are a smoker, a cigar just be­ fore retiring will soothe and tranquilize your nerves until you can't keep awake. Don't think about sleeping; you scare away slumber by wooing the drowsy god. Resolutely resolve as you lie down that you Will go to sleep, and sleep will come naturally. Take a warm bath and go from the tub into bed. Take a cold sponge bath, jump into bed, and you'll be asleep - before yoar head touches the pillow. Walk slowly about your room'half an hour. Lie on your right side, with your eheek on your hand. Lie on your left side, with your head resting on your arm. Count tip to 100. (I tried in­ human bit idiocy one night. I eame very near falling asleep two or three times, but was startled wide awake by suddenly becoming conscious that I lost my count, and had to begin over again. This cure kept me awake cne whole night, when I was so sleepy I could scarcely hold ray eyes open. The friend who gave me this prescription is not living now. She was a woman, and I oould not. as a gentleman, offer her violeuce. So I dosed a box of marshmallows with Rough on Rats, and sent them to her. So, what is a sleepless man who wants to sleep going to do ? If he eats a light luncheon, smokes a mild cigar, reads Bunner an hour, walks a mile in the air, comes back and walks another mile about his room, takes a sponge bath, cold, followed by a tub bath, warm, drinks a pint of milk, jumps into bed and lies on both sides, with his head on one arm and one hand, and counts thousand, it will be time to get us, any­ how, and he can have a few nervous fits during the day. • Adventures in Morocco. We had a great excitement one after­ noon in the bazaar--a tight between Woodville's and Boulnois' horses-- which nearly ended disastrously for the former. It is the great drawback to Moorish horses, their propensity to fight It was a fearful sight to seo the beasts pawing one another in the air and in the narrow, crowded bazaar where no one could approach to stop them. However, almost miraculously it seemed, it ended without loss of life. It was amusing riding through the streets to hear the curses which little' boys, sometimes even grown men, used to heap upon our heads. "May Allah burn your grandfather and grand­ mother!" they used to say; but some­ how we thought that these reiterated prayers' of Allah for this purpose could have much efleet, so we used only to laugh at, them. Now and then, though, a Moor got his ears well boxed for it by soldiers, and on one occasion by one of us, when a strong, young Eu­ ropean might have t>een seen seated on the prostrate body of a shereef, and saying in perfect Arabic: "Tou burn mv parents, will you?" --bang. "You'll call me 'haloofi"' (wild boar) --bang. "I'll teach you to speak to Christians like that!" --bang. I don't think that Moor would have breath enough left in him to curse again for many a long day. This, however, was not in Morocco, but in a town on the coast -- Illustrated London News. And Yet They Are Called "the Weaker Sex." Men tempt women through their vanity and affections. Women tempt men through their emotions or their ambitions. A clever young woman was desirous of living in luxury and respect­ ability. She worked night and day to improve herself, and became abrilliaut musician and linguist Then she threw herself in the way of a man who pos­ sessed money, but whose social ambi­ tions were balked by an exceedingly commonplace and uneducated wife. The man made comparisons, and finally fell into the snare. The wife was di­ vorced, and the scheming young woman shortly filled the vacant position. I do not believe the Creator made man any more wicked than woman. Both sexes have the same impulses and emotions. Women are compelled to fight against their own weaknesses and to combat those of men. Where ten women are tempted, two only fall. Where ten men are tempted two only stand. And yet we are called the weaker sex. If the penalties for folly were as severe for men as for women, and if the world demanded as high morality from them they would be as good as we are.--Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

It is told, however, that later in the year incoming vessels, fisherman, and coast­ wise traders reported sighting a craft with luminous rigging and sails and shining hull and spars. She was sail­ ing with all canvas against the wind, with a crew of dead seamen standing in the shrouds and leaning over the rail, while upon the quarter deck stood a young and beautiful corplet OLD whalemen as they sat spinning yarns about the stove at the ship chan­ dler's tell of meeting in the Japan Sea or Indian Ocean a small, lumpy ship, managed by a crew of graybeards--the sail tattered and patched, and the run­ ning rigging spliced in a hundred places. The hull was battered and stained and the paint was worn com- pletly off the planking, and as she rolled in the sea-way it was noticed that her linll below the water-line was covered with a thick coating of barna­ cles. As the speaking vessel came alongside this sea worn craft the crew, with imploring gestures, begged to be taken off, and stated that they were young men when the vessel sailed; that they had found no whales, and that the master had sworn to cruise until filled. As they told their strange story the captain rushed from the cabin, and, waving an iron hook that supplied the place of his lost right hand, drove the crew from the side, and shouting to the man at the wheel, the mysterious whaler's course was changed, and as she sailed away she seemed to vanish in a mist that suddenly surrounded her. The old whalers who listened to this yarn would wag their heads sagely and acquiesce in the deduction that such an apparition could only bode ill to those who witnessed it. THE fisherman of Gaspe sometimes see a ship sailing into the bay. She is of strange antique build, with high poop and forecastle and is quaintly rigged aloft Her deck is colored with troops, and from her ports and cabin Windows bright lights stream through the darkness. At the heel of the bow­ sprit stands an officer, with richly laced coat and feathered hat, who points to shore as though showing the place of landing to a lady who is lean­ ing on his arm. Suddenly a shriek of horror is heard, the lights disappear and the vessel slowly sinks. This ap­ parition is said to be the specter of the flagship of a fleet sent out by Queen Anne that was lost with all on board. ln 1752 the Dutch trading vessel Palatine was wrecked on Block Island, and the story is told that the wreckers made short work of stripping her and aetting fire to the hull. As she drifted blazing off the eoadt it is said that a human form was visible amid the flames, the form of a female passenger on the wrecked craft, left to perish by the wrechers. Since, and usually upon the anniversary of the wreok, a phan­ tom ship with blazing hull, charred spars, and scorched sails and rigging, has been seen cruising off Block Island, and has been regarded by coasting captains as a sure forerunner of bad weather and disaster. THE legend of the famous ocean specter, the Flying Dutchman, has formed the theme of song and story until its salient features are familiar to the landsman as the tale of the Cock laue ghost, yet few realize that Van- derdecken is still crnising, bringing disaster to every craft he encounters, as he battles the storms of the South Atlantic in futile attempts to • double the Cape of Good Hope, as he swore to do, iu spite of God or Satan, if ho sailed till eternity. Vanderdecken's craft lias been usually sighted to leeward, mak­ ing good weather under full sail against the force of a gale that causes other vessels to run under bare poles. COTTOX MATHKR tells how a new Bhip sailed from New Haven, 1647, and was never heard from. In June of the same year, about an hour before sunset, a ship the very twin of the ship that had sailed in January was seen to sail up the river against the wind and current. As she drew nearer she grew indistinct and slowly disappeared from view. This visitation was held to be a notifi­ cation of the loss of the outgoing ship, and it was commented upon in the pulpit. A (jcrinau (irctna tireeii. The little rocky island of Heligoland, aside from its reputation as a sea-bath­ ing place, enjoys the additional one of beiug a sort of Gretna Green for loving couples of the Fatherland, who loudly believe that they can enter the heaven of married life without the numerous legal exactions and obstructions which the strictness of the imperial statutes is apt to throw in their way. Last vear no lsss than forty couples from abroad, who had gona there expressly for the purpose, were joined in wedlock, and Up to the end of July upwards of twenty couples had followed their example. Jt is, nevertheless, a fact that the presen­ tation of 'th * usual documents, snoh as certificates of birth, the written con- Sent of parents, etc., are as much re­ quired as on the mainland. The facility and expeditionsness of the procedure chiefly consist in that, under certain circumstances, the lack of one of the necessary papers may be dispensed with on a formal declaration upon oath, and that a single publication of the banns on a Sunday is considered sufficient as consonant with the old Frisonian cus­ tom. Thus an anxious couple may arrive Saturday night and leave Mon­ day morning happily united. Many of these candidates of wedlock take the way to Heligoland in order to escape the long legal notice, and perhaps also the long comments at home. Others again, choose the island route to the hymeneal altar in order to save the ex­ penses of a costly wedding and to have a wedding and bridal tour all in one. The expense of having the knot tied on the island is not as cheap as many peo­ ple imagine, and certainly not less than 200 marks, one-half of which sum goes to the officiating < German) olergyman. 1 VAT.UE the friendship of him who •lands b/ you in a storm.

Probably nine laymen out of ten would be sur- Erised to hear 'that a learned Judge as said that a gift of fifty shares in an incorporated unlimited banking com­ pany can not possibly pass shares in an incorporated company formed by such of the shareholders who ohoose to be­ come members of the corporation formed after the date of the will, and formed by registration under the com­ panies' acts of 1<"G2 to 1&-0. A layman would doubtless say that a gift of a share in the X bank jrill not be lost because of such changes; that they are really much the same thing. But Mr. Justice Kay Bays they are as "different as li'^ht from darkness." ln the particular case there were other circumstances, but the opinion is too clearly stated to be safely disregarded. After some fresh evidence had been given in this case and a previous misapprehension corrected, it ap­ peared that the old company was in­ corporated and unlimited, while the new one was "limited," the shares be­ ing of a different nominal amount, and Mr. Justice Kay without hesitation de­ claim i that the shares could not pass. No «'i<,i.lion was given as to the efleet of registration of a bank as limited, where the shares remain the Bame in nominal amount, and no allegation ex­ cept that of limitation of liability is ef­ fected ; but it would certainly seem the most prudent plan for testators to ex­ ecute codicils, and save their families from the wretched disputes which are lively to follow bequests which convey a very definite meaning to the objects of the testator's bounty, although they may not have the same signification to legal eyes. It will be remembered, also, that in Luard vs. Lane it was held by Vice Chancellor Hall that debenture stock which had been con­ verted from debentures did not pass by a gift of "all my debentures." One can hardly doubt that if the testator had been in oourt to hear his will con­ strued (as according to a well-known story was the case in one instance where it was mistakenly supposed that the testator was dead), he would have been inclined to demur to the inter­ pretation put upon the document-- Law Times. The Number of Wars. Some astronomers have devoted spe­ cial attention to counting the number of starB which may be seen with the naked eye, and the result has been that, even to persons gifted with more than ordinary powers of vision, there are not so many as 4,000 stars at any one time visible above the horizon. But a very different result presents it­ self when the heavens are surveyed through a telescope. Countless nura-' bers of stars come into view which were previously invisible, and the more powerful the telescope used the great­ er number of stars revealed to observa­ tion, until finally the conclusion is ar­ rived at that the number of stars visi­ ble in the heavens is limited only by | the optical capacity of the instrument j which the surveyor may employ in his survey. A familiar illustration of this | is furnished by the well-known group | of stars known as the Pleiades. Snr- | veyed with the naked eye, this interest- ] ing object is seen to consist only of i some six or seven Btars; but when ob- | served wiih an ordinary opera glass : the entire field of view is filled with a ! beautiful congeries at distinct stars. The great astronomer, Sir William Herscliel, who far surpassed other as- ; tronomers in the profundity of his ox- j filorations of the stellar heavens, has j eft upon record some striking results of his observations illustrative of the immense multitude of stars which a powerful telescope is capable of reveal­ ing. It may be proper to remark that when the stars are surveyed even with a telescope of moderate capacity they are seen traveling in quick succession through the field of view of the instru­ ment, an optical illusion attributable to the diurnal revolution of the earth upon its axis. Herscliel, while en­ gaged in survey.ng some regions of the Milky Way, found that in the short interval of a quarter of an hour as many as 11(;,000 stars passed through the field of his telescope. On another occasion he estimated that in forty-one minutes there passed in review before ; him the immense number of 253,000 stars.--Good Words. Happiness. The foundation of happiness is health.
