A few people here will no doubt b«' l^rnatly interested in knowing that there is a “shanghai farm” within a few hundred miles of them, says the Oakland (Cal.) Times. Very few people have any idea of the manner in which a man is abducted and put on board a vessel lu the stream, and fewer still have any idea that a great deal of such work is done from tlio Oakland side, because there is no water front patrol
here.
The manner of shanghaing is very simple. When a captain requires a ; crew the law demands that he shall : sign them before a proper officer. This is done, and each man is asked if he is satisfied with tho manner in which his account lias been settled by the boarding master. The answer is invariably ! in the affirmative, and the captain leaves the shipping office. lie knows that if he has signed twelve men twelve

knows by experience that if he gets one-half of tho actual men he engaged he will get more than the average. The other half are partners of the boarding master, who have probably been before the ! .c shipping master twice in the one v.. ek. It is these dummies who are su' tit, led by men who are shanghaied, l ie l itter being, in many instances, s<> unlike sailors that it is considered advisable to keep f,atm out of sight. It is quite a common occurrence for three or four of the crew, after they recover from their stupor, to have to go to the mate and find out the

Heart Failure.
uoir TO AVOID IT.
The epitaph on many a tombstone is "heart failure.” No wonder, when we consider the immense strain wfiich is put on
that small organ. Marvelous as it is, beating 100,000 times and exerting a force equal U> natne under which they are sailing.
Additional light has been thrown on the matter by the publication of a story in a Santa Hosa journal of the existence of a “shanghai farm” located near that town. “There is one industry,” it says, “located near Santa Itosa of which most people have no knowledge. It is a ‘shanghai farm.’ A clever mortal of San Francisco, who has various interests in water-front boarding
6,184,000 pounds daily, it has its limit—its endurance often is too severely tested. So eommon are diseases of the heart—though often for a considerable time without the suspicions of the atllicted person being in the least excited—that it is stated that one person infour luis a buj heart! Dr. Franklin Miles, of Elkhar , Ind., has for years made a special study of all diseases of the heart, and his remarkable success has made his

' over in Rincon valley, about five miles from town. There is plenty of whisky kept on tap, and all who enter therein are Invited to drink to their heart's content. In most every town between here and San Francisco the ‘shanghai farm’ is in collusion with some beerjoint proprietor. This is the way the scheme is conducted: The victim has been at work, and on Saturday night comes to town with his earnings. Lie is in for a good time, and joins convivial crowds wherever he finds them. He finally gets into the spider’s web. His money is all gone, but still he is given drink. He is told of the joys and comforts of a mountain home near by, owned by a philanthropic friend of the barkeeper, where the weary may rest from their labors and drink good whisky. He is fascinated. lie is kept in a nasty reeking drunk all night. Next morning ho wants to sober up on whisky. He is half dazed. He is inI vited to take a ride in a huckboard by a friend who appears on the scene, and i gratefully accepts the offer. They | drive to the shanghai retreat. A big 1 barrel of whisky Stands sparkling in the cellar. A half dozen vagabonds are lying around. The victim gets : thoroughly drunk, and so remains until ! a new vessel arrives at tho San Fran- | cisco port, when the proprietor comes up . and escorts the bevy and places them ; aboard the vessel. When tho victim | realizes his whereabouts he is sailing
over the bounding main.” The lien Gat* Up the Job.

Soon she got up once more, this time with evident concern; something was wrong, surely; perhaps the weather was getting cold. She felt wet and chilly, but, with great perseverance, she sat down again, and again got up, this time for gixxl. She walked out of the box and then turned and looked in, hut she had

Near Hickory Flat, Simpson county, Ivy., live perhaps the most remarkable twins in the United States in point of size and strength, Samuel and Simms Gammel, formerly slaves belonging to David UammoL They are now fortyfive years old and their combined weight is nearly five hundred pounds. Samuel ivelgKs two hundred and forty and. Stmros 1 two hundred and fifty. Their strength is enormous, either of them being able to shoulder huge pieces of timber that ordinarily four men would carry with handspikes. They are very polite and good nakured and are popular for their excellent be-

Tricked tho Parson. A Boston pastor was sitting in his library one evening, recently, when a knock at the door came. He answered, and found a couple who desired to be united in matrimo ny. The pastor asked them into his parlor and performed the marriage ceremony, after which tho groom handed him a sealed envelope, supposed to have contained tho usual compensation. Tho happy couple departed, and the reverend gentleinai. opened the envelope and found the following note: “If she turns out as well as I think she will, I will come back and pay you for your services.”
ALWAYS READY TO SERVE.
How Phillips llrookt* Kttvrd Much Jewelry While Itnston's ltl|f Fire Uag;rd. During the progress of the big fire in Boston Phillips Brooks illustrated one marked phase in his character, and, according to the Journal, one of the • • V . ^t s,. 1 , anv man or wvjiAliU—ftni w.lsi.igin.is, the desire to serve,’to help some fellowcreature in distress. After seeing his own church on Summer street destroyed Mr. Brooks next went to the store of Shreve, Crump & Lowe, tho well-known jewelers. There doors were barred and their shutters up—and no wonder. The store stood straight in the track of the flames, ami already a large crowd, made up principally of roughs, had gathered In the anticipation to plunder and loot. Through this crowd Dr. Brooks made his way straight to the closed doors. His vigorous pounding finally gained him admission. Nome of the men at the head of affairs were friends of his. To them he said: "Gentlemen, I am here to do anything for you in my power. Make any use of me which is possible." They were at first averse to accepting such distinguished services, but at last yielded to his earnest protests. So they loaded him down with diamonds and valuable jewelry. They filled his pockets, his hat and even his shoes. Again the door was unbarred and out through that crowd of roughs walked Phillips Brooks, carrying on his person valuables worth thousands of dollars. The act must have been suspected by the roughs, yet not a hand was put out to strike or even to touch him. Towering above them all, he Inspired a respect or fear which proved a perfect protection. Ills magnificent courage, which did not know what fear was, enabled him to discharge his trust and leave the valuables in a place of safety. FINE ENGLISH.

Tli© Overwhelming Production of a Student of Lexicography. It is not easy to see why the persons who compile dictionaries for the use of foreigners desiring to learn English cannot be simple, but that they cannot will be evident to anyone who has taken the trouble to examine some of the bilingual lexicons of the day. A gentleman who has evidently abundant leisure has, according to the Y’outh’s Companion, amused himself by skimming a modern Greek and English dictionary, and the harvest of obsolete and Latinized words which he says he gathered in an hour is as amazing as it is amusing. Writing upon a foggy day, he says that in the language of the lexicon in question “the sombrous and smoky atmosphere in which he is nubilating makes it immanely difficult for him to discover his ubiety. What cun be more odible,” he goes on, "than the sight of a losslorn mome endeavoring to impinguate a waped killing, unless while meandering in paludal places one chances upon the spectacle of a nullifidian nubbling tutanag from the person of a tozy jobbernowl." That is good dictionary English, but it is not “United States." The gentleman goes on to observe that “if the imagination of the reader he not sufficiently: addulced by such a picture, he may call up the vision of an ambilogous abe-teacher imbrangled in the snary jigger-tackle of his snapsaek, manduc&ting sausages on the deck of a titubating howker, and oppignerating his neif that he has wan hope that amid his negoce anyone will uctnpne him a neologist.” IRISH FOOTBALL.
Suggestion* for the Site of an Fxpoitltlon In 1900. M. Berller, an engineer, is the author of the latest suggestions ns to a site and a plan for the universal exhibition of 1900. He advises the committee to tw l .iigs arl.gether to the state. No expropriation measures would then have to lie taken, as in the ease of the Auteuil racecourse and the Wallace property at Bagatelle. Furthermore, ground seven times larger than that covered by the last world’s fair could bo found in the eastern wood. The space being larger and more open, there would be no danger of overcrowding or of the consequent engendering of an epidemic. M. Berber also proposes, as the great hit of the exhibition, the construction of a monumental railway terminus in tho center of the fair lie likewise suggests the building of a temporary town, something on the famous New Tipperary model, at the eastern extremity of tho show, where people employed in the exhibition, as well as belated visitors, could find proper hotel accommodation, as well as shops wherein all the usual articles of commerce could be purchased at ordinary city prices. By means of the railways, steamboats, omnibusses, and especially the tubular tram (for which M. Berller himself is the contractor), the engineer estimates that over 100,000 people could lie hourly conveyed to Vincennes from tho center of 1’uris. Tho cabmen, who were so atrociously extortionate in 1889, would, therefore, be obliged to modify their tariffs. Tho exhibition committee has now enough to choose from, what with the ten projects sent in relative to the sites of Courveboie, Auteuil proper. Bois de Boulogne, Vincennes, St. Cloud, Clichy la Muette, Auteuil, the Champ de Mars, the Tuilleries and Champs-Elysees, and Neuilly, near the fortifications.

A Game Wherein the I'htyer. Are Kleked In.lead of the Hall. Football in Ireland may be said to consistof three parts—Rugbcian, Associationi.st and Gaelic. The rule of play in these organizations has boon defined as follows: In Rugby, you kick the ball; in Association, you kick the man if you cannot kick the ball, and in Gaelic, you kick the ball if you cannot kick the man. This puts the present procedure and position of the rival devotees into a nutshell. The Associationists are mainly confined to Belfast, where they form a body which It would be as difficult to convict of professionalism as it would be for them to prove that they are amateurs. The Gaels, says a foreign exchange, arc a free and festive community, who have their headquarters at Clonturk park, Drumcondra, County Dublin. This park is conveniently situated between Glasnevin graveyard and the Mater Misericordia hospital. A man has been known to pass from the football field direct to the hospital, and from the hospital to the cemetery, another match being then got up to raise funds for the benefit of the next of kin, thus running the risk of killing a few more for the benefit of the deceased.
Old in Delaware.
Two or three of the oldest houses in the United States are standing in and about the fishing village of Port Penn on the Delaware river in Newcastle county, Del. The main portion of the Dilworth homestead, occupied by a family descended from a British postcaptain, who romantically married during the revolution *he daughter of the patriot Gov. Airich, is nearly two hun-
Outracc I'pon Connecticut'. Kiimalnlns t’equot Tribe*. The Pequot Indians in Connecticut, last of that famous tribe of Indians, are aroused over a recent attempt on the part of white men to rob their burying ground of bones and relics. The Indians discovered some men at work on a grave in which, it is said, a descendant of Robina Cassinament was buried. Several half-breeds at once gave chase to the men, who fled, says the Philadelphia Telegraph. The burying ground is near the middle of the Pequot reservation, which is a rough, heavy wooded tract of land about one mile wide by two long, in the southwest corner of North Stonington, seven miles north of Mystic Ridge. It is known as an Indian town. The state long ago set it off to the exclusive use and practical ownership of the descendants of the Pequots, so long as any remained. About a dozen families of mixed blood have remained there during the last twenty-live years. The last pure-blood Pequot to die was Amanda Nedson, about three years ago. The Pequot descendants are for the most part poor, but they have the highest regard for the burial place of their race, and for years have been tormented by relic hunters. For some time there appears to have been an unusual demand for Pequot Indian relics. Many rich finds have rewarded explorers in the Indian cemeteries about here. In southeastern Connecticut and southwestern Rhode Island have been found large quantities of Indian pipes, beads, arrow heads, lances, drills, knives and trinkets worn by the Indians. If anyone is found trespassing in the Pequot cemetery now it may be at the risk of his life, for the Indians are said to be very angry.
Must Provide for 2(10,000,000. That there are children now bom who will live long enough to see the people of tho United States number from 150,000,000 to 200,000,000, says Erastus Wiman in the Engineering Magazine, is a consideration that should have great weight in contemplating the conditions that now are beginning to prevail. If in the ten years just closed the population has increased at a rate of nearly 25 per cent, and we now start out with 05,000,000, fifty years at the same rate of progression will bring the population up to very nearly 200,000,000. But even if tho same rate is not maintained, and if only 150,000,000 is reached, the enormous growth will have consequences of a character that should be considered with special reference to enlarged territory and widened area of opportunity. There is hardly anything more certain under the sun than this growth, and Its certainty should deeply impress every one who thinks at all with the importance of making preparations for an increase so momentous.
