Show FACTS ABOUT SARDINES. The Greater I'art of Thit Count f-'a rantompllon Now Packed Here. Formerly the sardines consumed In this country were all Imported from France; now about three-quarters of the sardines eaten In the United States ar put up here, the chief center of the sardine industry in the United States being the eastern :oat of Maine, though some t-ardines are now put up on the coast of California. The pack-.ng pack-.ng of sardines in this country was begun be-gun about thirty-five years ago. Thousands of people now find employment employ-ment In one part and another of tu work in catching fish, in making cans and in canning and packing and mar- ! keting and so on. Sardines are put up j in greater variety than formerly, there being nowadays sardines packed in ! tomato sau--e, sardines in mustard, j spiced sardines, and so on; but the ! great bulk of sardines, both imported j and domestic, are still put up in oil. ! Sardines are put up also in a greater j variety of packages than formerly. ; 'here being, for example, various ; sizes and shapes of oval tins, and some : French sardines are imported in glass, : but as the great bulk of sardines are , still put up in oil, so the great bulk of . them are still put up in the familiar fiat boxes, the great majority of these being of the sizes known as halves and 1 quarters, and far the greater number of these being in quarters. Sardinen are packed 100 tins in a case, and the consumption of sardines in this conn- ' try Is roughly estimated at from a mil- ' lion and a haif to two million cases ! annually. IJke canned goods of every j description, sardines are cheaper now than they formerly were, and Amerl- ; can sardines are now exported from ' this country to the West Indies and to i South America. t nrluua V-lilinK Kings. Among the curiosities of wedding rings it is on record that in the early days In England rings were made of rushes. Perhaps the most curious material ma-terial used for rings required in an emergency is the -ae of one being hurriedly made by cutting it out of the linger of a glove, and another cut out of a visiting card. Many cases are on record of rings made of brass and iron being used, as also curtain rings and doorkeys being pressed into service at weddings. The Quakers and Swiss Protestants do not use rings at their marriage ceremonies. The Irish people peo-ple have a strong objection to any but gold rings. In St. Ki!da wedding rings are made of worsted.- The women ot the Upper Byanzi. on the Kongo, wear their wedding rings around their necks. These rings are made of thick brass rods, which are made into great rings and strongly welded together. The more wealthy the husband the heavier the ring: in soin cases they weigh fhirtv pounds.

The Adventures of An Eton Boy... BY JmeS GRANT. T CHAPTER XVI. (Continued.) Most of the houses are built of good stone, but have all their windows iron-barred without and barricaded within, for the population (of which our shipmate Antonio was a striking i;pt'Cimen) consists of about thirty thousand olive-skinned Spaniards and double that number of slaves and free mulattoes. all loose, reckless, fiery and apt to use their knives on trivial occasions. oc-casions. There was not a ship lying there : for England, or any other craft by : which Weston could have sent me , home. A Spanish steam-packet was , on the eve of departing for Cadiz, but being wearied by the monotony of my ! long voyage, I was scarcely in a mood 1 for the sea again, ana wished to spend a little more time on shore instead of leaving with her. i However, I wrote to my family by 1 the Spanish mail, acquainting them of i my safely, with the strange incident ! which had so suddenly torn me from ' them, and adding that I would return ' by the first ship bound for any part of England; if possible, with the Eu- genie, which would probably be 1 freighted for London. After the packet sailed with my let-j let-j ter in her capacious bas. I experi-! experi-! enced an emotion of greater happiness j and contentment tlian I had ever done : since leaving home, for ' the sorrow i which I knew all there must have suf- fered, and would btill be suffering, hung heavily on my heart. As we were returning to tl e brig, which had now been warped alongside the mole, when passing through the street which contains the great hospital, hospi-tal, we beard the sound of trumpets, and saw the glittering of lances with long streamers above the heads of a dense crowd of people of all shades of color black, yellow and brown and we had to doff our hats with due respect re-spect as they passed, for in the midst, surrounded by a staff of officers, epau-letted epau-letted and aiguletted, their breasts sparkling with medals and crosses, and each of them riding with a cocked hat. under his left arm, carne the present Captain General of Cuba, a marshal of the Spanish army, Don Francisco Serrano Ser-rano de Dominguez, attended by an escort of mulatto lancers, all mounted on Spanish horses. He was a fine-looking man, and although al-though aged, had all the bearing of what he was, or, I should say, is a grandee of old Castile. On returning to the Eugenie we found Antonio the Cuban working among the crew as lustily and as ac- ; tiVely as any man on board. Weston i now offered him remuneration for the time that he had been with us, with a hint that he might find a berth elsewhere; else-where; but our castaway evinced the greatest reluctance to leave the brig, and begged that he might be permitted permit-ted to remain on board, as three of our best hands had been sent ashore, sick, to the hospital. So short-sighted is man that Captain Cap-tain Weston, despite the dislike of the crew and the advice of Marc Hislop, ordered that the name of Antonio be entered on the ship's books as foremast fore-mast man. Three weeks after our arrival the brig was careened to starboard, when clear of all the cargo, and had her copper scraped and cleaned, an operation op-eration which the constant rains of the season greatly retarded. There was much in Cuba to feed on i m q cr nati va m i t 1 H an1 m inn ut ts . ,, , , , j full of the voyages, the dariner ad veil- i tures and the vast discoveries of Columbus, Co-lumbus, with the exploits of the buccaneers, buc-caneers, whose haunts were amid these wild and. In those days, savage ! shores. I thought of the gaily plumed and barbarously armed caciques whom Columbus Co-lumbus had met in their fleet pirogues, or had encountered in the dense forests for-ests which clothe the Cuban mountains moun-tains forests, old. perhaps, as the days of the deluge of the yellow-skinned yellow-skinned women with their long, flowing flow-ing black hair and with plates of pol ished gold hanging l-n their ears and i noses; of the fierce warriors streaked with sable war paint and armed with cane arrows shod with teeth or poisoned poi-soned fish bones, that fell harmless from the Spanish coats of mail; of the wna carms, wno nevourea tneir pris- j oners with whom a battle was but a j precursor of a feast; and of the fa- ; mous fighting women the terrible i Amazons of Guadaloupe. I thought of the story of Columbus : writing the narrative of his wonderful j discoveries, his peris and adventures, ' on a roll of parchment, which he ! wrapped in oilcloth covered oyer with wax. inclosed in a little cask, and then cast into the sea. with a prayer, and the hope that if he and his crew perished per-ished this record of their achievements achieve-ments might be cast by the ocean on the shore of some Christian land. As I sat by the sounding sea that rol would I not have given to have seen ; the waves cast that old cask, covered ! with weeds and barnacles, at my j feet! But now the plodding steam tug and j the rusty merchant trader ploughed the waters of the bay Instead, of the gilded Spanish caravels, or t?ie long war pirogues of the Indian warriors; and where they fought their bloodiest battles on the wooded shore, or In tie green savanna, where the 'pain-Jed cacique ca-cique and the mailed Castilian .met hand to hand in mortal strife, the smoke of the steam mill, grinding coffee cof-fee or boiling sugar, darkened the sky, and the songs of the negroes were heard as they hoed in the plantations, or In gangs of forty trucked mahogany logs, each drawn by eight sturdy oxen, to the sea. And so. tn a creek of the bay the same place where the Dutch Admiral Heyn sank the Spanish plate fleet I was wont to sit dreamily for hours, with the murmur of the waves In my ears, with the buzz of insects and the voice of the mokIng-bIrds among the palmettos, while watching the sails that glided past the headlands of the bay on their way to the Bahama Chan- nel or the great Gulf of Florida. This was my favorite resort. A wool of cocoanut and other trees shaded the place and made It so dark that I have seen the flre-flies glance about at noon. The cocoas ere about the height of Dutch poplars, and are covered with oblong V aves, which, when young, are of a pale red.

An Evil Spirit. We sailed from the Bay of Matanzas at 2 o'clock a. m.. on the 3d of April, bound for the Cape of Good Hope, which we were fated never to reach. The Eugenie had been freighted for that colony with a rich cargo of molasses, mo-lasses, sugar, coffee, and tobacco, and arrangements had been made that from Cape Town she would be chartered for London. Thus I had a fair prospect of seeing nearly a half of this terrestrial globe before I repassed my good old father's threshold at Elsmere. I earnestly hoped that we might encounter no more waterspouts or tornadoes, tor-nadoes, as they were not at all to my taste; but from other causes than phenomena phe-nomena or the war of the elements it was my fortune, or, rather, my misfortune, mis-fortune, to undergo such peril and suffering suf-fering as were far beyond my conception concep-tion or anticipation. By 8 o'clock on the morning of our departure the light on Piedras Key was bearing south by east, sinking into the waves astern, and going out as we Lade a long farewell to the lovely shores of Cuba. Three of our men had died of yellow yel-low fever in hospital, so we sailed from Matanzas with ten able-bodied hands, exclusive of three ship boys, the captain, cap-tain, first and second mates. In the waters, after the rainy season, sea-son, the sky is so cioudlss in the forenoon fore-noon that the heat of the sun becomes almost insupportable; thus we were soon glad to resort to the use of wind-sails wind-sails rigged down the open skylight to an awning Over the quarter-deck for coolness, and to skids for the prevention preven-tion of blisters on the sides of the brig; but in the starry night the land-wind which comes off these fertile isles, iaden with the rich aroma of their spice-growing savannas, is beyond description de-scription grateful and delicious. Without any incident worth recording, record-ing, we ran through the sea of the Windward Isles, thence along the coa.st of South America, and when we approached ap-proached the calm latitudes, as that tract of the ocean near the equator is named, we became sen.-ibie of the overpowering over-powering increase of heat, while the breezes were but "fanning ones," as the sailors term those which, under the double influence of the air and motion of the hull, are just sufficient to make the lighter canvas collapse and swell again. We were soon aware of other annoyances an-noyances than mere heat, for now it seemed as if there was an evil spirit on board the Eugenie, and that nothing went right within or about her. -The- Cew fcllkfl - l .Tw' among themselves as if the dem(S of mischief Pcirked in the vessel, and daily something unfortunate occurred, llal-yards llal-yards or hfaces gave way, by which the yards were thrown aback ;and in one instance the brig nearly lost her mainmast. main-mast. Standing and running rigging were found to be mysteriously fretted, and even cut, as if by a knife; and I then the crew whispered together of Antonio el Cubano that horrid, dark, mysterious fellow, whose character none of us could fathom. Twice ur compasses went wrong, and remained so for days: and before the cause was discovered the Eugenie had drifted far from her course. This varying was inexplicable, until Hislop, who set himselt to watch, and . . . frequently saw Antonio hovering near j the binnacle at night, unshipped the i compass box and found there were con cealed near it an iron marlinspike on one side and a lump of tallow on the other, either of whirh w.is sufficient to affect the magnetic needle. After their removal the compass worked as well as before. The crew were strictly questioned: all vowed total to-tal ignorance of the transaction, and Antonio summoned every saint in the Spanish calendar to attest his innocence, inno-cence, but none, however, appeared. ! The crew now felt convinced that, in spired by some emotion of malice or mischief, he alone was the culprit; and if not loud, their wrath was deep agninst him. These variations of our compass set the busy brain of Marc Hisloi to work, and in a day or two he declared tha? ! he had discovered a plan for prevent-; prevent-; ing the repetition of tricks so danger-j danger-j ous by insulating the needle so as to j protect the compass from attractions i false or dangerous. ! I am uncertain whether he perfected j this experiment, but Antonio soon went to work another wav: for one ! day. when he was supposed to be busy in the maintop, ho shouted. "Stand j from under!" and ere Hi-don. who was I just. beneath, could sive the usual re sponse. "Let go!" a heovy marlinspike. the same which had bern fn'.md in the ! binnacle, slipped from the hand of An-, tonio ana ten cra:-p.-t,-,5,1, tno gratin? The iron bar crashed into the deck at the. feet of Hi?!op; whether this occurred oc-curred by inadvertence or design we knew not, but the Scotsman thought the latter. j "That rascally Spanish picTroon will ' work us some serious mischief before , we overhaul our ground-tackle or see ; tbe Cape," said Weston, who was en-; en-; raged by this new incident, and the i narrow escape of Hislop. for whom he had a great regard. "Aye.- he has a hang-dog look about him that I never liked." replied the latter. "He seems to be always down by the head, somehow. We should have left him In his skiff, lust as we ! found him, like a bear adrift on a grat- ing, or a pig in a washing tub." On another occasion he injured Will White, one of the crew, by letting the I topmaul fall from the foretop, where it usually lay, for driving home the fid j of the mast, His dreams again became a source of J annoyance to all in ' the forecastle bunks; and on being closely and se-; se-; verely questioned by Captain Weston j and the men as to whether he had ever killed any one, by accident or otherwise, after being long badgered, he drew his ugly knife from its sharkskin shark-skin sheath and replied sullenly: "Only a Chinaman or so. when in California." "Well, I wish ycu would clap a stopper on your mouth when you go to sleep, or turn in out of earshot In a topgallant studding sail as far off as you choose, and the further off-the better." said old Roberts, sulkily, after the ravings of the Cubano had kept him awake for several nights. "You seem to dream a great deal, Antonio," said Weston, with a kjen glance, beneatn which the palard quailed. "Si, Senor Capitano, he sUmered. "How is this?" "I am very fond of dreams." he replied, re-plied, with a bitter smile on his lip and a scowl in his dark eye. "Have you pleasant ones?" "I cannot say that they are always so, but I should like to procure them." "Shall I tell you how to do bo?" shipmate?" "If you please, senor," growled the Spaniard. 'Go to sleep, if you can. with that which is better than the formula or prayers, which at times you pay out like the line running off a log reel." "And what is it you mean, mio capitano?" cap-itano?" "A good conscience," replied Weston, with a peculiar emphasis. A black scowl came over the Spaniard's Span-iard's swarthy visage, as he touched the rim of his hat. darted a furious glance at his chief accuser, the white-haired white-haired seaman Roberts, and to end the examination walked forward. (To be continued.) LADY AND WOMAN. j When One Word Is I'sed and When the j Othrr. It is, perhaps, worth noting that I some writers are rash in asserting that the words lady and gentleman j have nnsseil pnnallv nut of use in "the i world." It must be something like hal a century since people of education be- gan to say "man" the usage is toe much a matter of course to needjrio tice. But the use of the word "woman" is altogether a question of adjectives. "Lady" is never said with an adjective; adjec-tive; but surely "woman" is never said without one. Let any reader interrogate interro-gate himself and learn his own customs, cus-toms, and he will find that it is so. He who is foremost to protest that he never says "lady" in any possible circumstances cir-cumstances will find that he actually does so whenever he has no use for an adjective. He met a pretty woman, but he met a lady. And if he hears that his friend is to he married, he asks for the lady's name. How would it sound to say, "And. who is the woman?" Other writers of letters on this detail of manners cite French customs, and seem to suppose that some comparisons of fashions might tend to do us good. But from France we should learn little more than a return re-turn to the rejected words. The saying say-ing of monsieur and madame as an address is charming, but not so the reference to every man the acquaintance, acquain-tance, the man in the street, the man in the shop as "tin monsieur." It has a sound of bourgeois pride and of commonplace, for which, if we had it in our manners, the city and the sub urbs would receive no little ridicule from our writers, who have grown to be far more derisive than the French. Another "correspondence," in another paper," seems to take it for granted that we who do not pronounce an "h" in "hotel" are dropping one. The word is French, a modern French word imported; it is not a word made English like "humble;" it retains its character as quoted French. Therefore, even if the "h" had a value it Would is mute and has no value. Pall Mall Gazette. How It Feels to Be Hanged. In the Wide World Magazine, Richard Rich-ard Hicks, an old-time actor, tells of his narrow escape from being hanged on the stage of the Queen's Theater, Dublin. He was playing the part of Achmet, a particularly villainous character, who, after a long career of crime, is, to the general satisfaction of the audience, captured by two British soldiers and promptly hanged. "One night, while struggling with my captors, cap-tors, the rope slipped from my shoulders shoul-ders and knotted itself round my neck, Just as I was being hauled up," says Mr. Hicks. "Never shall I forget that awful moment. Directly I felt the tug at my neck I gave a convulsive kick and tried to shout 'Stop!' but the word could not escape from my twitching twitch-ing lips. I could only make a gurgling noise. Frantically I kicked and struggled. strug-gled. Pain there was none, strangely enough, beyond a choking, suffocating sensation, and I could hear the tumultuous tu-multuous applause of the audtence.who were hugely entertained with what they imagined was my realistic acting. Then a terrible sensation, like molten lead rushing down my spine, pervaded per-vaded my body, and I thought my legs were bursting. I gave another mighty struggle and strove ah! how I strove to scream. I seemed to behold a mighty rush of green water, and my ears were filled with the roar of a cataract. 1 have a dim recollection of seeing a great crimson sun shining dimly from behind the waterfall, and I can remember falling indefinitely through space. Two days afterward I recovered consciousness, and then I suffered indescribable agony. The suffocating suf-focating sensation still remained, but it was accompanied by an unquenchable unquencha-ble thirst, not to mention fearful pains in my body and limbs." Kone;h on an ll3V!li. Aeo0il's1rt5T,i"ft3 mrtTof a young man who. besides being of the spendthrift order, is a splendid mimic and can imitate his father's voice to a nicety. Not long ago the young man wanted, without delay, an maount of money, and he knew that the father would treat a request for the same with cold contempt. Waiting till he knew that his father would be away, he went to a telephone call room and rang up the office, calling for the cashier. The cashier was forthcoming, and when he was at the other end, the young man imitated his sire's voice: "I say, Blank, if -that scapegrace of a son of mine comes round and asks for $100, don't give It to him. Only give him $50." The cashier promised that he would fulfill the commands. Not long after the son called at the office and demanded $100. He was refused by the conscientious cashier, and, apparently appar-ently in anger, the young man contented con-tented himself with the $50. When the old man reached the office there was a scene.

ISA .of Many Winters Isaac Brock, a citizen of McLennan county, lexas, has lived ill years. He now lives with his son-in-law at Valley Mills, Texas. In speaking of his good he<h and extreme old age, Mr. Brock says: "After a man has lived in the world as long as I have, he ought to have found out a great many things by experience. "One of the things I have found out to my entire satisfaction is the proper remedy for ailments that are due directly to the effects of the climate. "During my long life I have known a great many remedies for coughs, colds, catarrh and diarrhoea. diar-rhoea. I had always supposed these affections to be different diseases, dis-eases, but in reading Dr. Hart-man Hart-man 's books I have found out that these affections are the same and that they are properly called catarrh. ca-tarrh. "I had several long sieges with the grip. At first I did not know that Peru n a was a remedy for this disease. When I heard that la grippe was epidemic catarrh, I tried Perunafor la grippe and found it to be Just the thing. "As for Dr. Hart man's remedy, Pe-ru-na, I have found it to be the best, if not the only, reliable remedy rem-edy for these affections. It has been my standby for many years, and I attribute my good health and extreme old age to this remedy.
