The legend of the Flying DutchmaD
has coiue to us iu various forms. One
of them Is that u seaman of Holland,
Vanderdecken. sailed in his si 'p, bound
around the Cape of Good H e to the
east He was never again B.en alive.
In attempting to weather the cape he
met with head winds, losing his tem
per and defying heaven with a great
oath. As a punishment for his bias
phemy he was doomed to make unsne ,
cessful attempts to we-1her the cape
till the crack of doom.
Many years ago, before steam had
takeu the romance out of sailor life
and before ships could go to China by
way of the Mediterranean, the Suez
canal :inrt the Red sea. an American
merchant sailed from New York for
Bombay In the packet ship Albatross.
The gentleman, whose name was Van
Cortlamlt. had descended from the
Hollanders of that name who had set
tled on Manhattan Island in the seven
t«*piith ppntnrv
His oldest daughter. between seven
teen mid eighteen years old. was n girl
with an expressive face, which denot
ed a deep undercurrent of feel In?. ITer
eyes were her most notable feature,
being large brown ones, which (rave
one an Impression that she was filled
with wonder. And yet ft would seem
that this, instead of being remarkable,
should lie natural to any one contem
plating'the marvels by which we are
surrounded. Perhaps these persons
appear in a state of wonder because
they are nearer by nature to the bor
der which separates us from the In
finite.
M::ria Van Cortlandt would sit all
day on deck peering out on the bound
less ocean trying to form in her mind
an Image of its vastness. or looking
upon the clouds drifting up in the
heavens or the gulls soaring above the
masts. Sometimes it seemed to her
father, who adored her, that she was
not thinking of the ocean or the heav
ens. but of that other spiritual world
a vision of which Is denied to ordinary
mortals. Then he would sigh, for it
seemed tc> him that the abode In mor
tality of such persons Is more tran
sient than in parsons of a less spiritual
nature.
One afternoon when the vessel had
Just begun to point her prow more
eastwardly to round the cape a ship
was seen astern coming In the same
direction. The captain of the Alba
tross stood on the poop deck, his glass
leveled at the stranger, surprised nt
the position of her sails. While those
of his own ship were set to sail before
the wind, the coming vessel' had hers
close hauled. The skipper had never
before experienced in steady weather a
wind blowing in two different direc
tions.
it is a fact well known to navigators
that a ship will move faster with tbe
wind abeam than when dead aft. Obey
ing this law, the stranger was gaining
on the Albatross. As she came on the
face of the Albatross' master assumed
a more amazed expression. There was
an old fashioned look about the other
ship that he had never before seen on
any craft. Her sides bulged below
her decks, which were narrower, she :
was very high astern and was built up
curiously forward.
And liow a few figures began to take
form on deck, going about upon their
various duties—some coiling ropes,
some mending sails, while others lay
about smoking enormous pipes. When
the vessel came abeam of the Alba
tross a man was seen staudlng on the
high deck astern who seemed to be the
master. His figure standing out
against the sky showed him more
plainly than the others. He wore a
costume that had passed out long be
fore: full breeches to the knee and a
short coat with flaring skirt. His face
was young, but there was an old look
about It. His hair was loug, his eyes
were large and set deep in his head.
But the most remarkable feature of
this strange craft ana tier antique
looking crew was yet to coine. Sailing
much faster than the Albatross, the
stranger passed her in a few mo
ments. As she went b.v every eye on
her was fixed on those on the Alba
tross as those on the Albatross were
fixed on the vessel and her crew. The
young master on the poop deck ex
tended his arms to Maria Van Cort
landt with a mute appeal on his face.
To the astonishment of those beside
her. Maria's arms went out to the
strange being.
Then there was a low .wish of wa
ters as the vessel drew away, leaving
the Albatross in her wake, and Maria
fell over in a swoon. Every eye of
those near her was fixed npon her, and
when they were raised for another
glance nt the receding vessel it had
disappeared. ■
A man standing on the forecastle of
the Albatross when the strange ship
sailed away and out of sight said that
he read the name—"The Flying Dutch
man."
In the log book of the Albatross when
she was broken up was found the en
try. "The Flying Dutchman passed us
bound southeast by east half east."
There is a story in the Van CorUandt
family of a Maria Van Cortlandt who
went to China with her parents and
met on the voyage a phantom lover in
a phantom ship. On her return she Is
said to have died in the same latitude
and longitude where the ghostly meet
ing took place. But the Flying Dutch
man has appeared to so many persons
at different times that there is nothing
certain about this.
Made It Quite Plain.
"Thank you." said small Bobby, woo
had been given a piece of bread and
butter by the lady uest door.
"That's right. Bobby." said the lady.
"I like to bear little boys say Thank
you.'"
"Marnmu told rue to say It If you
gave me anything to eat. even If it
was only bread and butter." rejoined
the youngster "But If you want to
hear me say It again you'll have to
come across with'a piece of pie."—Chi

Struck at the Root.
Dr. Abernethy once visited a crusty
old laird who was laid tip with gout.
He wauted to get out with his gun
and was In a temper and while the
doctor was looking at his foot swore
roundly at him for tinkering at his
toes and asked him:
"Why don't you strike at the root
and get me better?"
Solemnly the doctor got up, took his
walking stick and smnshed to pieces a
decanter of wine which was standing
on the table. The astonished laird
sprang to his feet and demanded an
explanation
"Oh." said the doctor, '"I am only
striking at the root:"
Earthquakes as Warnings.
The belief that earthquakes are signs
or warnings owes Its origin in part to
prophecies In the Bible, where, for ex
ample, we read that "there shall be
famines and pestilences and earth
quakes" as portending future calami
ties. Earthquakes have led to the abo
lition of oppressive taxation, the abo
lition of masquerades, the closing of
theaters aud even to the alteration oi
fashion. A New England paper of 1721
tells us that "a considerable town Id
this prorince has been so far awaken
ed by the awful providence in the
earthquake that the women have gen
erally laid aside their hooped petti
coats."
Smiles Over "Self Help."
An editor who was compiling a vol
ume of prose selections bad proposed
to include a characteristic piece from
"Self Help." and the question of copy
right arose. The publisher (the worthy
head of a distinguished house) him
self took the matter In hand and sent
the editor an autograph note to the
following effect:
"I have written to Mr. Smiles re
specting the selection you propose to
make from his writings, but there has
been no reply. Dnder the circum
stances I think you had better omit
this piece."
Naturally there Is much curiosity as
to how and where "Mr. Smiles" was
addressed.—Manchester Guardian.
Had a Hard Cheek.
Mr. Cooke was a traveling man and
was slightly injured in a railroad acci
dent One of the officials of the road
went to his home to break the news
gently to Mrs. Cooke.
"Madam " he began, "be calm. Your
husband has met with a slight—that
Is to say, one of the drive wheels of a
passenger locomotive struck him on
the cheek, and"—
"Well, sir." interrupted the woman,
"you needn't come around here trying
to collect any damages of me. You
won't get a cent! If your company
can't keep Its property out of danger
It'll have to take the consequences.
You should have your engine insured!"
—Harper's Magazine.
Strengthens Ship Kee's.
In rough weather at sea a ship has
to withstand enormous shocks and
strains. This is specially so in the
case where the ship is lifted half clear
of the sea by a wave and then comes
crashing down again. To make the
ship invulnerable to this terrible buf
feting the bottom is maile in double
thickness, with a few feet space in be
tween. Before the commencement of
a voyage this part Is pumped full of
water and Is really a huge water cush
ion. which distributes the effects of
shocks, which. If applied only to one
portion of the ship's bottom, would
loosen the rivets and sink the ship.—
Pearson's Weekly.
THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL
Still one thing remains to furnish
the house beautiful, without which
guests and books and flowers only
emphasize the fact that the house is
not a home. 1 mean the warm
light in the rooms that comes from
kind eyes, from quick, unconscious
smiles, Irom gentleness in tones,
from habits of forethoughtfulness for
one another—all that happy illumi
nation which in the inside of a
house corresponds to morning sun
light outside falling on quiet dewy
fields. —William Channing Gannet
