How a ahip'a compass could lead her master astray has been one of the mys­ teries of Lake Superior for years, but it Is probably explained now by one of the vesselmen in the only way that seems consistent. One of bis own bohts suffered at a time when he knew his compasses were right. His ship was heading for Duluth, and for Safety was two points south of her course, which should have taken her to the entry at Superior, seven miles south from the harbor entrance to Duluth. Without warning the vessel grated ou a beach and stopped. An Investigation showed her to be on a sandbank at the mouth of Knife River; twenty miles «ast from Duluth. She was heading directly up the river, almost due north, but the compass still held two points south of the course for Duluth. The boat had, by the charts, turned almost a right angle. Within 125 feet of either side rock reefs ran out into the lake, on which she would have cut herself to pieces. To the southerly side, where a trifling less deviation would have taken the vessel, lay an island of rock that would have driven her bow back to her engines and hunched her up into a ball. As it was a tug pulled her off and a sur­ vey showed not a dollar of damage. In­ deed, nothing is publicly known of the fortunate accident till this writing. Many such a casualty has occurred from time to time and the river on which this boat brought up has been •the scene of two or three groundings Vvery season for years. Some of them have resulted luckily, others have been total losses. The only explanation for these groundings'and deviations is that a great bed of magnetic iron sand lies in the bed of the stream, covered by the washings of quartz sand from the rocks of the lake. The same explana­ tion probably accounts for disasters at other points on the north shore. In­ deed, in a gathering of vessel captains in an agents office in Duluth, they dis­ cussed the remarkable aberrations of compasses.--St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Coat of Nicaragua Canal.

In 'Cape Town, South Africa, from January until April, may be seen a phe­ nomenon well known to meteorologists --a caacade of clouds pouring steadily over a high escarpment of cliffs, but never reaching the bottom. It vanishes in midair as if bjT a miracle. L&ndor, the poet, says in one of his sweet little sonnets: "Wo arc what suns, and winds, and waters make us:" but unfortunately suns will scorch, winds will roughen, and waters will not remove »he injurious effects of the other two upon the lovely complexion of the fairer seK. For ages chemists have tried to distill from lierhs and minerals an elixir of beau­ ty, but they have failed, aud it was left to modern times to tind a cosmetic which should remove every speck and blemish aud leave a soft and pearly loveliness up on the roughest skin. Gouraud's Oricn tal Cream does this, and while so perfect ly harmless that spring water is not more so, it has a magic influence upon the com­ plexion which cannot be overestimated or believed until realized.

THERE is--or there used to be-- In a squalid little street ln neighborhood of the British Mu­ seum an eat-ing-house whose principal recommendation in the eyes of its pa­ trons was a three-course dinner for 12 cents. It boasted a "first-class room," and this was interesting on account of the people to be seen In It. On a certain January afternoon, how­ ever, the room contained but two cus­ tomers. They were a girl and a young man--strangers to each other. Both ordered and ate their dinner furtively, and both seeu»6d to be ashamed of be­ ing there. "Will you lie offended if I speak to you? I fanej* we are in the same pro­ fession." "In the same boat, at any rate," she said, with a dittle rueful laugh. "What makes you think so?" "You look musical. Aren't you?" "I sing," -she said. "And you?" "I imagine I compose." "Have you done any good?" inquired the girl, after .a slight pause. "Not yet. I only hope. Have you an engagement anywhere?" "Not now, I'm trying for one." "It's an uphill life!" observed the young man, with a sigh. "Hateful!" agreed .the sjirl; and there was silence again. "»• • ! When they had paid their 12 cents they left, hut stood at the door to­ gether. She held out her hapd to hlin and wished him good-bjr. "Oood-by," replied he: **Qb, ?ppe mo­ ment! Will you felj^ne ^onrjoi "Alma Brettan. And.yours?"- "Mine is Theodore Farr;" her a small part at so late a data th« door was opened violently and a stout gentleman burst in upon them with a perspiring face. . \ Theo paled at the sight. Instinctive^ ly he knew the manager haft brought1 fead news. J "Your prima donna has the influenza, and 'Francesea' cannot be*1 produced. That Is all." The young man stood motionleea. At a blow his world bad crashed In ruins about htm. The next Instant Alma Spoke. . , "Will you trust 'Francesca's' music $0 me?" \ Both men started as if they had been shot--Theo with hope the manager in expostulation. "You?" echoed the latter. "Who are you?" "I/m nofiody," she said, calmly, "but If you are willing, I may be some one yet." "But--but you are mad. You could liot study the score by Thursday night." P The familiar music was lying on a chair. She saw it, snatched at It and /thrust U Into Theo's hand. . "Play the accompaniment to the 'In­ vocation,1 " she said, "I am going to sing it." She began quietly. She realized as the first bars left he^b lips that she was singing for the crown of her ambi­ tion; more than all, she knew that she was singing for the salvation of the man she loved. He knew it, too, as their eyes met. The manager's eyebrows lifted, and his hand shook a little as he turned the page. "For him I love--for him whom I adore!" Her voice rose, flooding the room, and when it died with the last chord the manager caught her by both hands. "Mademoiselle," he said, .gravely. "I shall have the honor to submit a con­ tract to you this afternoon. Your friend should be grateful to you." But Theo said nothing. Only his face spoke--and it was eloquent enough. * * • * * • • • Everybody knows what happened. Wlien the curtain fell on the last act of "Francesca" the audience rose to thetr feet and called'for the composer with cheers that rang through the house. He stood bowing amid the deafening plaudits, waiting for the frenzy to sub­ side. But that was not to be yet. The prima donna must be recalled, and Theo led her on once more, and they stood there together while Paris screamed itself hoarse. Do you ask the sequel? It Is a wed­ ding party at a gay Parisian hotel. The bridegroom rises to return thanks, and says It is an appropriate thing that his wife and he should breakfast In a res­ taurant to-day, because "It was in a certain restaurant • • • seven years ago * • * not quite so fashionable a restaurant, perhaps," etc. And the bride laughs merrily, while the people wonder why.--London Evening News.

A lot of boys stood around anxiously watching him. When they saw George's mother they all motioned her to keep quiet. "George," she called, whereupon Master George promptly tumbled to the ground; "what are you doing?" George got up and dusted his trou­ sers. "That's what teacher says Is the nequinocturnal act," he replied With a broad grin. "The equinoctial act--what's that?" "The son crossin' the line." Whereat all the boys roared with de­ light and George's mother went back Into the house with a sad feeling at her hearty She was afraid her dear boy was growing up n humorist like his unfor­ tunate father. >apne* * * * m "Any good fortune "No. Promises--p%R' pM<Hflse8»-and they mean so lltrt«A"Ii»he. yepjlied dis­ consolately. v.* v 1 ^ ^ They had met at dinuer again; they now met there dally. It had become their habit--the custom of these two waifs in professional London--and each found delight iu the other's company. "I have brought you back the score of 'Francesca,' " she said. "I think I almost know it by heart." "You like It?" "It is really a masterpiece!" "And yet no manager will look at it," he said, bitterly. "Wait! Be patient!" "I am worn out with waiting. Bah! talk of yourself. No chance of an en­ gagement still, you sayT' "None." The next afternoon she did not see him at the eating-house and she won­ dered why. It was because he was ill. When he recovered and was able to leave the house, a pale and pitiable object, with his pale fkee and hollow cheeks, the first thing he did was to wend his way to the shabby table d'hote, and now it was his turn to won­ der,? for his fellow-bohemian was not there. And winter stole into spring, and spring into summer, but still he did not see her, and at last he grew to realize that they wouhfcnot meet again, •a • • • • * * ?-- It was an Easter morning, seven years later, as she came out of one of the great railway stations into the streets of Paris, tired and travel- stained. The company with which «he had been touring the French provinces had disbanded and she had arrived In the capital poor and friendless, in search of a new engagement. • She entered an unpretentious restau­ rant close by, and."while Uer morning meal was being prepared, amused her­ self by glancing at a newspaper. "M. Theo Farr!" The name leaped out of Jiie page and struck her .eyes. Theo Farr In Paris--in print! An­ other moment showed her that "Fran­ cesca," a new opera, by an unknown composer, was to be produced as a venture three nights hence. Her capital was considerably under $25. She would go to him and beg of him, for the old time's sake, the favor of a small part. She swallowed her meal in ten min­ utes and made her way excitedly to the etage door. "M. Theo Farr," the doorkeeper in­ formed her, "was lodging in the Rue Trojnchet." In a few moments a cab landed her at tine door. Farr! Is he In?" she asked, ex­ citedly. He was smoking in an armchair by the window, and sprang up with an exclamation of amazement. "You? Is It possible? Oh, how glad I am!" "Tell me all!" she cried, when she had explained her errand. "Tell me all! You are a rich man?" "O, no, no--a very poor one! I teach and write songs--but I've the chance of fame at last. The work is being put on as a stop-gap, so to speak, but if it succeeds--" He caught his breath. If it succeeded he was "made!" Time flew, and while they were dis­ cussing the possibility of bis securing MASTICATION A LOST ART. A Common Disease of the Gams Dae to It. t Mastication is rapidly becoming a lost art and although we have become hardened to the fact that three-fourths of the dyspepsia is due to this cause, it might surprise some of us to know that the early decay of the teeth and disease of the gums are hastened by this same lack of maxillary exercise. A disease of the gums called Rigg's disease, which is every day becoming more common, is caused almost entirely by the want of proper mastication. Twenty-five years ago this trouble was not considered of importance by the dentist on account of its rare oc­ currence. To-day it Is given more care than the decay of the teeth, as he is frequently consulted by patients who have a full set of natural teeth which are quite loose in the Jaw. Aside from this, they are sound and healthy. After a certain development in the disease nothing can be done to help them. By lack of exercise the blood, which should nourish both the bones and the gums, is not carried to the part, nor does the blood carry sufficient material to the teeth, hence the enamel formed Is de­ fective, and early decay results. Fre­ quently, too, the mechanical develop­ ment of the jaw Is arrested by (his same wqft of motion. Among the earlier races defects of the jaw and teeth were almost un­ known. Ic examining the skulls of thousands of Indians, Oarly Britons and Chinese, not a single irregularity of the jaw Is found, and the teeth that are" present are soaud and well formed. The food which they lived on, such as roots, herbs, corn and uucooked meats, required a good deal of chewing in order to prepare it for the changes follow, and as a result the muscles of the jaw were dense and hard, the bones well developed and compact, the teeth large, regular and firm. Most of the food among the better class of people to-day is cooked so as to require very little mastication, and the consequence is that the muscles have become flabby, the Jaws slender, and the processes for the attachment of the muscles almost obliterated. Conldn't Catoh Mrs. Tnrveytop. Mr. Turveytop has, up to very re­ cently, considered himself quite clever, and nothing so pleases him as to get the best of some unsuspecting person. For a long time his wife bad been In need of a new muff; and after hinting to her lord that her happiness would never be complete till she owned one, he at last decided to gratify her desire. So he went Into a shop and picked out .a couple, one of which was cheap and the other very expensive. Upon these he changed the price-tickets, putting the cheap price-mark on the expensive muff, and vice versa, and then took them home. _ For a long time his wife pondered, and at last said: "Now, dear, the ex­ pensive muff is a beauty, and it is real­ ly very good of you to allow me my choice. Some women would take it without a word, but really I don't think we can afford the more costly one; and, besides, I think the cheap one Is more stylish, too. Why, dear, what is the matter? Are you ill?" But "dear" had fled into the night, where, unseen, he could abuse himself to his heart's content. There Is more catarrh to this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be In­ curable. For a great many years doctors pro­ nounced It a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it Incurable.

Mrs. Elizabeth Wheelock, Magno­ lia. Iowa, in the following letter de­ scribes her recovery from a very criti­ cal condition: " Deab Mrs. Pixkham:--I have been taking your Vegetable Compound, and now ready to sound its praises. It has done won­ ders for me in relieving me of a tumor. " M y h e a l t h has heen poor for three years. Change of life was working upon me. I was very much bloated and was a bur­ den to myself. Was troubled with smothering spells, also palpitation of the heart and that bearing-down feel­ ing, and could not be on my feet much. "I was growing worse all the time, until I took your medicine. "After taking three boxes of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Lozenges, the tumor passed from me. " My health has been better ever since, can now walk quite a distance and arii troubled no more with palpita­ tion of the heart or bloating. I rec­ ommend your medicine to all sufferers from female troubles." It is hardly reasonable to suppose that any one can doubt the efficiency of Mrs. Pinkham's methods and medi­ cine in the face of the tremendous vol­ ume of testimony.
