DICKENS HAO ODD CLOTHES' LURED PIRATE TO HIS OOON
Author Always Overdressed and Had
Appearance of a Gambler—Charlaa ,
Lamb Always War# Black.
"He had a double gold chain outside
hia walsicuuL uud suck breaatplns that
1 thought he looked like one <>f our
river gamblers.' Much la the desorlp-
tloo oi Charles Dickens, given by I’ren- 1
tlce In an account of bla tour of the
United States A teudeucy tor over-
dressing was ala ays one of Dickens'
cbaractertstlra.
A photograph of Pickens, taken in
1852, allows him In a frock coat with a
broad velvet collar, a waistcoat made f
of some furry stuff, and trousers of a
huge check. 1‘ercy Fitzgerald aaya
the Wench painter's remark, that
Dickens was “more like one of Che old
Dutch admirals we see In he picture
giilierlee than a man of letters," con-
veys an admirably true Idea to his
friends.
"The first time 1 saw Archbishop
Whately," said the provoet of Oriel
college, Oxford, "he wore a pea-green
coat, white walatcoat, atone-colored
shirt, flesh colored stocking#. Bishop
Meber wan dressed In a pursley and
butler coat. Doctor Arnold In a light
blue coat with metal buttons and a
huff waistcoat.
Charles l.amb always dressed In
black. “1 take It," ho said, "to be the;
proper costume of un author.” When
this was once objected to at a wedding,
he pleaded the raven's apology In the
fable that “be had no other.” Hit!
clothes were entirely black, and he
wore long black gaiters up to the
knees.
Southey wore clogs; he had a fawn-
colored all around coat and a cap with
a knob to It. lie never put on a swal-
low-tailed coat Uks Southey, I’orsou,
the great Greek scholar, had an utter
contempt for appearances. When Hss-
lltt met him In the library of the Lon-
don Institute, he was dressed In an
old rusty black coat, with cobwebs
hanging to the skirt, and with a large
putcb of coarse brown paper covering
the whole length of hie nose.—London

Bellamy Betrayed hr Captured Sea
Captain Who Paared Ha Would
Plu-dsr Proyiaoetwwrt, Mass.
In hit history of the Massachusetts
Bay coiouy, Governor Hutchinson tells
of the notorious pirate Bellamy, who,
In 1717, decoyed to bla doom by
the captured captain of a now obsolete
craft called a "snow,” Bellamy bad
promUed to give back the snow If the
captain would pilot him safely Into har-
bor. But the good captain, fearing the
pirate meant to plunder Province-
town, huug hia lantern In the shrouds
just as a violent storm arose, and
hugged the shore, with tit* pleasing re-
sult that Bellamy’s whole fleet wue
wrecked, end many of the pirates who
were not drowned were executed by
the town fathers.
Alflens “Collection of Rpltaphs"
ssys that for many years after his
shipwreck a man of a very singular
■nd frightful aspect, who was sup-
posed to have been one of Bellamy'•
crew, need, every spring and autumn,
to be aeen traveling on the cape. Aged
people related that he frequently spent
the night In a private house, and that,
wherever the Blhle or any religious
book was read, or any family devotion
performed, be Invariably left the
room.
It was also stated that during the
night It would seem as If he hnd In
his chamber a iegion from the lower
world, for much Conversation was over-
heard which was boisterous, profane,
blasphemous and quarrelsome Id tlie

RULER ORDERED WIFE SLAIN
WHITTIER WAS IN LOVE ONCE
Writer’s Romance With Elizabeth
Lloyd Hit Only Sweetheart, Told
In a Little Volume.
Whittier never married. His heart
never yearned In verse for a Highland
Mary or a Maid at Athena, Hnd so far
a« his work, and the superficial aspects
©f hia life were concerned, he seemed
to be ao remote from the divine—or
human—passion as Joan of Arc or
Savonarola
And yet Is It now known the poet
who walked his days In lonely bache-
lorhood had had a romance, had loved
and ioat, had really In his own life
enacted. In a measure, the world old
theme which found such haunting ex
preaslon In his own "Maud MullerThe
story Is told In a little volume, “Whit-
tier's Unknown Romance," In which
his letters to Elizabeth Lloyd, Whit-
tier's only “sweetheart," are repro
duced. The lack of Elisabeth's letters
to him, however, leaves the story In
complete. They were destroyed, for
some reason, not hard to surmise, by
the lady's request
Few allusion* In Whittlera poems
are traceable to her, though the com-
panion of his “Monadnock," whose
■weet Influence he acknowledged, la
said to have la-on hia Elizabeth, and lu
hia own letters he attributed much of
his Inspiration on various themes to
conversations he had with her.—De-
troit News.
Emperor Constantine Had Faustina
Smothered te Death Because
She Aooueed Stepson.
Ftavla Mavimlnna Faustina was the
second wife of Constantine the GresL
In the year 3«6 her father took her to
Gaul, where be gave her In marriage
to the Emperor Constantine. She was
for a long time a most exemplary wife
and mother. Her devotion to her hue-
band was such that she even sacri-
ficed her father’s life to him. after dis-
covering that her parent was Invqjved
In a plot against Constantine's life.
Faustina has been acruaed of stain-
ing the last years of her life by the
commission of many crimes, among
others that of cauaing tbe death of
Ortepua, lha son of Constantine by a
former wife, by making false accusa-
tions agalnat him.
Constantine revenged himself on
Faustina for having caused his son's
death by having her suffocated in a
warm bath.—Detroit New*.
Her Tyrannical Supartor.
They had a woman tragic officer In
an eastern city and she was a good
ona, too. She wore white gloves,
knickerbockers, a Jaunty cap and di-
rected traffic with all the nonchalance
•f an expert. The other day. how-
ever, she turned In her equipment and
returned to skirts. A friend w unted
to know what the trouble was.
“1 don't care to discuss It." the ag
grieved one declared.
"Aw, go ahead nnd tell me, dearie,"
said the other.
“Well, the chief refused a reason-
able request and I quit."
"Something In the line of duty?"
the other woman wanted to know.
"1 so consider It. I merely wanted
an hour off to get m.v hair washed ”
Three Thousand Fold.
Seventy ears were raised from one
grain of wheat In an experiment at
South Hornchurch, Essex, England.
The seed was sown In March In a pit
a yard wide and 18 Inches deep. As
soon as sprouts appeared they were
lightly covered with earth, and from
then all through the summer the
sprouting grain was revered over and
over again until the pit was full und
its surface covered with a grass of
wheat. The shoots remained quiescent
during the winter, but in spring grew
rapidly, and eventually, In the follow-
ing autumn, 85 stalks were cut, of
which no fewer than seventy had
Mpened ears. These seventy ears
weighed over a quarter of a pound
and averaged forty-four grains to the
ear. barely an amastng harvest from
one seed.
India Introduced Diamonds
India* ancient diamond working*
were scattered over a wide area, but
the distributing center or msrt was
the town of Uolconds, s mint which
has always been highly suggestive of
opulence.
As far bark aa that ancient epic, the
“Mahahharata," diamonds Have llgured
largely la the life and history of the
Hindu, and It was from India that they
were Introduced Into Europe. With
the development of diamoud cutting in
Antwerp aud Amsterdam in the Flf-
teeuth century, diamond! began to he
more widely used by the western na-
tions. Such travelers as Jean Bap-
tiste Tavernier brought hack from the
Bast sturie* of the niagutflrence of the
diamonds owned by oriental poten
tales.
Bbeep Burled In Snow Three Weeks
A correspondent recalls an incident
which happened some year* ago on
the moors between HudderxAeld and
Oldham, England. A heavy fall of
snow hnd drifted up and many of the
■deep which and been grating on the
moor were hurled. For three weeks
the snow held f*st, snd drift after
drift was searched by shepherds for
the missing sheep.
At the end of the third week three
sheep were discovered hurled beneath
a drift In one of the doughs. They
were in a very emaciated state, and
had apparently lived by eating the
wool off each others hack, for all
three were a* hare as newly shorn
sheep one died soon after, hut the
other two completely recovered from
their enforced starvation.

Unable te Prove It
One afternoon s stranger debarked
from s train at s hustling town in the
West and headed up the street. Final-
ly he met a man who looked like a
native.
“Pardo# me " said the stranger, "are
yon a realdent of this town?"
"Yea, sir." was the ready rejoindei
of the other. "1 have been here some-
thing like fifty years. What can 1 d»
for you?"
"I am looking for a criminal law
yer," responded the stranger. "Have
you on* here?"
"Well," said the native, reflectively
"we think we have, but we can't prove
it on hliu.”
