Wlien e-hip reports os iceberg in &certain latitude and longitude s little red dot is placed on the Ice­ berg ■chart. I t is drifting in if'saatherly di­ rection, and allowances are made for so many miles of advance every twenty-four hours. So the red dot. , ia moved slowly forward. Hat ad­ verse winds, ocas and currents mav change the enur-e of the berg, ami this sort of reckoning may prove all wrong. Later another ship reports the same or another iceberg in a differ­ ent place, says Harper’s Weekly. More red dots appear on the chart and as the season advance* (fie dan­ ger points increase. Tll'se- charts are issued as warnings to mariners. Ships sailing in certain northern latitudes must study the location of the icebergs, and for the sake of safety the captains provide them­ selves with duplicates of the charts. ^Icebergs are dangerous obstruc­ tions to navigatiotv'on clear, dark nights as .well as in times of fog. They carry no lights, and they can­ not he detected in ike dark until close upon a ship. Experienced sea captains possess ft certain instinct for d Meeting the presence of icebergs. Some cap­ tains claim that they can smell an iceberg miles away. Something in ‘the atmosphere warns them of the danger, and they double the \yntch and reduce speed until out of tire danger zone. Then, again, when near an iceberg the air grows sud­ den ly cold and chilly, and some­ times there is a drop of several de­ grees .in the temperature. Many unaccounted disappear­ ances of ships and steamers are at­ tributed to collisions with icebergs, ships and all on board, going to the bottom without so much as a rem­ nant left to tell the tale. Bidding In a BKde. While some furniture was being sold a t auction at Grkellyunga, in Sweden, a curious incident occurred. A young girl pushed her way through the crowd until she was quite close to the auctioneer, so close indeed that she somewhat im­ peded him when he desired to make effective gestures. Being a man* of humor, be resolved to get rid of her in a novel manner, and therefore, taking her by the arm, he shouted; • “Here, now, is an excellent bargain —a young girl, aged nineteen, very a t 3,000 crowns!* At once there was brisk bidding, wbich continued until an elderly bachelor farmer of­ fered 30,000 crowns. The auction­ eer tried to get a higher bidder than tills, but failed, and so he de­ clared the farmer to be the pur­ chaser of the girl. All those pres­ ent thought that it was a good joke, but it was more than that, for a few days later the farmer and the girl were married in the presence of the mayor, and before the ceremony the farmer presented the young woman, an orphan, with 30,000 crowns, the exact amount which he was willing to pay for her at auc­ tion, ________ ____ • Victim of a Soft Heart. The prison visitor'looked at the occupant of cell 49 through eyes that were dim with tears and passed a fdw more fragrant blossoms be­ tween the iron bars. “You poor unfortunate!” she ex­ claimed. “So you were brought to this through sympathy for another. Tell me all about it. Perhaps some­ thing can he done to set you free.” “Well, mum, Twas this way,” ex­ claimed the convict. “When me an# my mate cracked the crib we found the bank watchman asleep, an’ we tied an* gagged him. I t was him as arferwnrd identified me.'* “Yes, and the sympathy for an­ other?” asked the visitor. “I t was fer him, mum. My mate wanted ter stick a knife in him. If I hadn’t heea a fool an* done it I wouldn’t he here n-talkin* ter you now.”*—Boston Traveler.

They Don't; Mind Ctase Q uarters—Tho CJossr th e Better, Of at! tha occupations known to men, entertaining a prejudice is the most absurd. Yet the practice is almost universal.. Tire prejudice is usually uninvit­ ed. He comes in quietly, removes his hat and coal, saunters up to the guest' chamber and prepares to be­ come a permanent feature of the establishment Yon entertain him royally, strain him to your bosom, exhibit him proudly to every one, fight for him, defend him and per­ petuate him. Yet you do not even admit that he is present. “1 enter­ tain a prejudice?” you sav, with becoming concern. “Never?” Birds of a feather flock toother. I t therefore happens that if there is one prejudice present there are also others. They always come ip unawares anil take their places si­ lently and unobtrusively. But, oh, bow they hang together in an argu­ ment! A group of prejudices is invinci ble. They have never been beaten. The strange part of prejudices is that one would think they would prefer more commodious quarters. But, no; the narrower the mind the more content they are. They don’t mind close quarters. The closer the better. Prejudices are always busy. If they are not tampering with one’s eyesight they are screening the mind from the open—putting blinds on and making it dark enough to sleep in comfortably.

Y.,M.S.A, almost anything' else but prejudice!. He can insure himself against fire and water and loss of life and acci­ dents and depreciation in his prop­ erty. But there is no company so fortified that it would take the risk of insuring against prejudice. And, then, no man would ever think of taking out any insurance against] one, because he would never admit ] that he had it. The prejudice him­ self fixes that. The first thing ho does is to make the man think he isn’t there, That is why prejudices, no mat- teT how mhch damage they cause to character, are never evicted.

Mr. Hopperdyke. who had been slightly injured ip a railway col­ lision while on a trip away from home, found it necessary to make a stop of a day or two to rest an&A*e-> pair damages, Me was not much disabled,, however, and he wrote a letter to his wife, telling her of the accident and1assuring her that he was all right and that she need not have a moment’s uneasiness about him. When.be had posted the letter an idea struck him, and ho sent her tho following telegram: S ave been hurt in railroad accident, Letter on tho way, which will explain. JOHN. Two days afterward he received this dispatch from her: Why on earth did you send that horrid telegram? LUUY. His reply was: Xaent It to prepare you Xor the letter. ________________ _ JOHN. Duma** Mushroom*. A Paris contemporary, comment­ ing on the little knowledge of French possessed by some Germans, relates a story of Alexandre Dumas pere, who know little German. He found himself at an inn in Ger­ man Switzerland. He exhausted his f small stock of German in trying to { make the waiter understand what i dishes he required for dinner. One ! he could not make the man under- j stand, so in despair the author of { “Monte Cristo” called for a pencil { and sketched what he wanted. | Some minutes later the innkeeper himself appeared bearing a large open umbrella. Dumas had ordered mushrooms.'—Loudon Globe. Climatic Changes. There is indisputable evidence that the greater part of Kurope was! at one time covered with icebergs ’ and glaciers and tbnt an arctic cli­ mate prevailed as far south as the shores of the Meditermi can. But there is also abundant proof that at a Btill earlier epoch not only Eu­ rope, but the lands situated within the arctic circle, possessed a tropical climate, for the numerous fossil re­ mains found in those regions are these of plants and animals which, according to the present state of our knowledge, must have lived un­ der conditions now found only in the equatorial portions of the globe. —New York American.
