An Old Maine Ferry.
The new bridge on St. John rlTS?
removes a picturesque method ot
transportation. Van Buren, Me., and
8t. Leonard's, N. B., have been connected for many years by means of a
primitive ferry. From shore to shore
a great steel cable ls stretched, fifty
or more feet along the shore at the
starting point. Upon this is hung a
traveler, consisting of a wooden block,
with a huge iron trolley wheel, at
each end. The trolley runs on the
cable and from each end of the traveler a long rope leads down and is
made fast on the scow. This rope
leads down through pulleys to a big
wheel placed at one side and amidships. The wheel acts as a throttle
and steering gear both, and-by turning it one way or the other either end
of the boat ls headed upstream.—Portland Press.

Sneezing as an Omen.
A sneeze In the days of old Greece
w.-is a matter of great concern and
import. There was then a cod of
■neeslng, and great nndertal
would even be abandoned if a man
ed at an inappropriate moment.
the act being looked upon as th--
cle of the pod. A sneeze between
midniKht and noon was looked upon
as a fortunate sign, but between noon
and midnight it betokened jrreat misfortune. To sneeze to your ri;rht waa
lucky, to the left unlucky. Two or
four sneezes were lucky, one or three
very unlucky, and any undertaking In
hand should, if possible, be abandoned. More than four sueozes did not
count. There is a Raying In many
parts of England today, "Once a wish,
twice a Ulss. three limes a letter, four
times something better." If people
sneezed together it waa a good sicn.
particularly If they happened to be
discussing business.
One of Biemarck'e Roart.
On one occasion at luncheon in Berlin General Sir B. llamley was silting
close to Bismarck,  with the old  Emperor William not far off.    Bismarck,
talking rather loudly, described the old
monarch  as  being  generous,   but  wry
forgetful.    Hamley got nervous, as he
thought the emperor would hear,   "For
Instance,"    continued    Bismarck,    "I
pleased hitn the other day. and hied me what he could do for me.   I said
'Give mo a dozen of that Toka*)   yon
hare In your cellar.;,' and he said  he
would.     But."   added  Bismarck.
in.T bis voice  still   higher,  "he  hasn't
,!   it."     Here  Hamley hastily  1
In, "I beg your pardon, but I am really
afraid tlie emperor will hear you." "I
want him to hear me!" roared Bismarck. "That's .just what I want."
And a smile broke over the face <>f
hi.; imperial master.—-"Fifty Years of
Fleet Street."
Th. Traveler's Tett.
The eminent traveler James Bruce
highly touchy whenever his veracity was called into question. It
happened that when dining out one
day at a friend's house one of the
sruosts observed that It was impossible that the natives of Abyssinia could
eat raw meat. Without making any
reply Bruce forthwith left the table
and before long returned from tiie
kitchen wit h li piece of raw beefsteak, peppered and salted in the Abyssinian fashion. Placing this In front
of thejruest who had doubted his word,
he said, "Sir, you will eat that or fight
me!" The guest preferred the former
alternative. Thereupon Bruce calmly
observed. "Now, sir, you will never say
again that it i.s impossible."
