THROWING THE DART.

AN ODD IRISH CUSTOM WHICH TAKES PLACE NEAR CORK.

The Ceremony Dates Back Hundreds of Tears—It Occurs Whenever a New Mayor of the City Is Elected—Queenstown Harbor la Crowded at the Time.

Several New Yorkers were

fortunate

enough while waiting for the American steamer at Queenstown to witness the performance of a curious and ancient rite by the mayor of Cork to which some of them had been specially invited, the American consul there, John J. Piatt, taking a prominent part in the ceremony. This curious survival of feudal forms is called "throwing the dart."

Its origin is lost in the twilight of antiquity, but it undoubtedly had some significance in ancient times, long before firearms were invented and when darts, bows and arrows, arquebuses and other such mechanical instruments of destruction were the only known weapons in warfare. Cork being one of the oldest cities in Europe its civic constitution involves many strange customs unknown in any other town of the world, but of these the throwing of the dart is among the strangest.

By the ancient charter of the city its head man is not only mayor, but admiral of the port as well, and this port, embracing Queenstown, has especial interest for Americans because, next to New York, it is the most important port of American traffic in the world. The old charter of Cork, which is one of the most ancient documents in Ireland, is a curiosity of municipal documents.

One of its provisions requires one of the city officials, attendant upon the mayor, to wear on formal occasions "a remarkable hat." The hat which this dignitary wears annually is certainly remarkable, for it is nearly three feet in height, sloping gradually toward the top, made of brown fur, and with a straight brim.

AN ANCIENT CEREMONY.

By the chartor of Cork the mayor is required at stated intervals many years apart to go out to the entrance of the harbor in "the corporation barge," and there, attired in his robes of office and attended by the chief dignitaries of the city, to throw a dart out to sea, and the place where it fulls in the water is to mark the limits of his jurisdiction as admiral of the port. Tho origin of this custom is so ancient i'hat very few peoplo nowadays know what a dart is.

Tho ono used on this occasion was a liandsomo weapon with a shaft of polished mahogany over six feet in length, with broad bronze barbs weighted with shot and feathers of bronze, and on tho end a bronzo shamrock bearing tho arms of tho city, the name of the mayor and tho date.

Of late years tho ceremony of throwing tho dart has been neglected, but the present mayor of Cork, evidently being determined to comply with every re

quirement

of his office, prepared to cele-

brato tho event upon a grander scale than over before. Instead of the corporation barge, another civic institution, created centuries before steamboats were known ami now relegated out of existence, a largo steamboat was hired and nearty or thousand invitations were issued, while a band and an elaborate luncheon were provided.

Besides Mr. Piatt, tho American consul at Cork, many Americans were present, and it was recalled that tho last time tho ceromony was performed it was witnessed by Congressman Patrick Collins, of Massachusetts, who was returning from a trip to Europe at the time.

Tho sea was perfectly calm on the day of tho ceremony. On the way down the beautiful River Lee the steamer stopped at Blackrock castle, where the mayors iu ancient times held an admiralty court, and here Mayor Daniel Horgan, with several of the aldermen, stepped ashore and walked to high water mark to assert thoir jurisdiction over the river, in accordance with another ancient custom.

MANY DA UTS WA8TKD.

The steamer Commissioner, with the party aboard, then steamed out between the forte at the entrance to the harbor, and in a perfectly smooth sea came to a stand at a lino drawn between Poer and Cork heads, more than fifteen miles from Cork. The mayor then took his stand upon the bow, dressed in his robes and chains of office, and with tho long and heavy dart in his right hand made a brief address to the guests, who ineluded bishops, members of parliament aud representatives of foreign government.

He welcomed tho Americans present in the name of the city, aud said that the dart was such a heavy ono that he did not think ho could add much to his pi\v vious jurisdiction. After speaking of tho antiquity of this picturesque custom he turned and, amid great cheering, throw the dart into the sen. where it landed thirty feet from the vessel and immediately sank. Several amateur photographers wore present.

The steamer then proceeded to Kostellan castle, upon which a flag with the arms of the city was flying, and where all present were entertained by Sir John Pope Hennessv and Lady Hennessy.

The ceremony of throwing the dart is performed on the spot which the American steamers cross when entering Queenstown harbor, and it has been repeated for so many times that it is estimated there must be nearly a hundred darts at the bottom of the ocean. —Xo*v York World.

WONDERFUL ENGINEERING FEAT.

Floating the Ohio Connecting Railway Channel Span.

The Engineering and Building Record gives an interesting account of the work of floating the channel span of the Ohio Connecting railway bridge near Pittsburg, Pa., and depositing it in its resting place on the piers. The Ohio Connecting railway, about 13,000 feet long, is essentially a belt road, built chiefly as a transfer between north and northwestern and south and southwestern roads at Pittsburg, and includes abridge 4,558 feet long across the upper part of Brunot's Island and the Ohio river, a little below Pittsburg.

The channel span of this bridge is a steel single track through single intersection span, with intermediate subpanels and members. The trusses are 25 feet apart, and have a maximum depth of 65 feet. They are 523 feet long and have curved top chords. The masoiiry piers are about 80 feet high, and between them an enormous river traffic of steamboats, barges and rafts constantly passes.

To avoid obstructing this traffic, as well as to be somewhat less exposed to danger from flood, it was decided not to build any false work, trestles or piling whatever between the piers, but instead to assemble the span at the required level, with its axis perpendicular to the final position, and far enough removed to be clear of the main waterway, then to float it to its required position and secure it to the abutment seats. In the shallow water along the shore of the island piles were driven on which to erect the false work and span.

The piles

Avere

arranged in rows cor

responding to the panel of the bridge. Each row was cut off and capped about 13£ feet above normal water level, and several lines of 20 inch steel beams were laid across the caps. These formed stringers on which timber trestle bents of suitable dimensions were erected, and secured by wooden bracings and special adjustable iron tie rods. On this false work tho iron and steel bridge members were hoisted, assembled and connected in the usual manner from a traveling wooden erecting tower nearly 100 feet high. This part of the work was rapidly executed in fifteen working days. Nine specially constructed barges were then floated into position under the 20inch steel beams and between the rows of piles.

The barges were 130 by 25 by 8 feet deep, strengthened by longitudinal and transverse bulkheads, and contained inlet valves through the bottom of every ohamber. These valves were then closed, and the water

%was

pumped out in about

five hours by steam pumps on three adjacent tug boats, and as the barges rose they finally received the entire weight of the bridge span and supporting false work and floated it clear above the piles. The false work was securely connected together by longitudinal timbers and temporarily bolted with iron plates to the piles. Decked barges were secured to the others and to the false work at the ends, and carried four multiple spooled hoisting engines, besides which two others were set up on the shore, all of them being supplied with about 80,000 feet of lines.

The span was secured against overturning by heavy steel guy ropes from each end of each barge, and guy ropes were attached to the floating mass, the barges disconnected from the piles, and the hoisting engines, winding upon tackles made fast to the shore, slowly drew tho barges clear of the piles. Stringers across the rear of the barges and extra braces were then placed where the piles had previously interfered, and the barges and their burden again drawn forward, swung through an angle of about 90 degs., and drawn upstream between the bridge piers, which had about twenty-five feet clearance from tho eud barges.

The movement was very slow, occupying several hours, and was always in very short stages, preceded by careful adjustment of tho guy lines. The bridge was thus brought approximately to position twenty-one inches above the required level. Guide bolts were passed directly through the shoes and inserted in holes prepared in the masonry, and the valves in the barges bein opened tho false work gradually sunk until it deposited the span safely on its seats and left it there free and clear. The total weight moved by the barges was about 1,800 tons, 915 of which was tho weight of tho permanent span. The false work was removed and used to erect, in its required position, another span of the same bridge.

Courtship.

Hearts cannot always be taken by storm. Wooing may be too hasty and precipitate as well as too slow. A man who offers himself to a woman-before he has made sure of her affections is very liable to receive "no" for an answer, when, with a little delay and assiduity combined, ho might have made it "yes." There is an instinctive pride in woman which makes her rebel against the idea of being too quickly and too easily won.

She naturally thinks he must hold her love cheap who supposes it may be had by a comparative stranger for the mere asking. Even in the case of mutnal love at first sight she does not willingly forego the pleasures of the delightful period of courtship. The wild bird wooes his mate with long and mellifluous song, and woman feels it her right to exact homage before marriage.—New York Ledger.

PROFIT IN LITTLE THINGS.

A i%iec*ssffttl Inventor Telia What He Ha* Foand Most Advantageous. William Westlake, the railroad inventor, whose patents have made a fortune for him, started in life as a roller boy in the Wisconsin office in the days when this paper, which now keeps the fastest of presses hustling to get off its daily edition, was printed weekly cm an old Franklin press. Becoming dissatisfied with his salary of $2 per week, he severed his connection with the establishment and tried his hand at several jobs, learning, among other tilings, tinsmithing, and finally drifting into railroading.

As a coppersmith he got work on the old la Crosse road and became an engineer. He "filled" the first locomotive ever inn in Wisconsin, and stuck to engigineering until one night he mistook a swinging lantern for the conductor's signal, and starting his engine just as an old lady was boarding the train, threw her down and cut off her leg. He resigned and set about inventing a conductor's lantecn that should be unmistakable.

The result was the half green, half white lantern that is used now the world over. The glass could not be made in this country, and it was three years before he got one made in Europe. While working on the La Crosse road he invented the railroad lantern with a movable globe, which is now universally used. He offered that invention to two Milwaukee gentlemen for $250, but they laughed at him. Since then millions have been sold and fortunes made out of them. ~K'.

In 1863 he went to Chicago* with $250 and started a business that became the Adams & Westlake Manufacturing company, which employs 3,000 men. Mr. Westlake made inventions by the hundreds aud sold the patents, but he says he never got 1 per cent, of the amount other people made from his inventions. "I sold my stove board for $100,000," he said, "and the manufacturers make that much every year out of it."

Mr. Westlake had on his hands a great many patent lawsuits, and getting tired of the worry six years ago he sold all his patents remaining for $60,000 and with them the lawsuits. His home is in Brooklyn, and there he spends his time free from business cares.

Mr. Westlake's patents are counted by the hundreds. He invented the headlight, the car lamps, the oil stove and dozens of other things for every day use. He has recently made some great improvements in the headlight. He says that he has' found that it is the little things that pay, and that there is no money in inventing costly machinery.

He is at present amusing himself by trying to invent a substance with which to coat the bottom of his yacht which will prevent the formation of barnacles. He says he h:is made a sort of enamel, so smooth that uothing can stick to it, and it has worked very well on a centerboard. He 1 '.links it will work as well on the bottc.n of the boat.—Milwaukee Sentinel.

Suspense.

"One ni

vfc,"

tor came an.l woke me out of a sound sleep to prepare morphine powders for an old gentleman named Martin, who had been ill for some time. I weighed out the morphine and put it up according to direction, but thought while I was doing so that the powders seemed to be unusually large. Next morning, when I was arranging things in.the shop, I found that there was a ten grain weight in the scale beneath the one the prescription called for, and each .of those powders was ten grains too large'. "A cold chill ran down my back when 1 realized the mistake, for it meant almost certain death. A short time afterward the doctor came in, and I thought my time had come. Bracing up as well as possible, I asked: 'How is Martin this morning, Doctor?' 'He's dead.' 'Did those powders kill him?'I stammered out, and in fear and trembling awaited the answer. But the first words relieved me: 'No the powders had nothing' to do with it. He died half an hour before they were received.—New York Ledger.

A Negro's Keys to Heaven.

The Herald is in possession of a cane with quite a history. Tom Goodyear, an old negro, aged about 86 years, died. In his deathbed was a common walking stick. on the handle of which were two leather straps, to which were attached two keys—one large and the other small The old negro carried the cane during the last twenty-five years of his life. He never went without it, and always proclaimed that the small key would open his way into the better world, and that the large key, should he not go to that desired land, would allow him to escape from the doors of that land which is hotter than this. But when Goodyear died he left the keys and stick by his side while his spirit departed to that undiscovered land. It matters not to which place the good old colored man went, he will find thedoors open for his reception. —Palattai (Fla.) Herald.

Doe*. Experience Count

It does, in every line of business, and especially in compounding and preparing medicines. This is illustrated in the great superiority of Hood's Sarsaparilla over other preparations, as shown by the remarkable cures it has accomaccomplished.

The bead of the firm of C. I. Hood &

Co. is a thoroughly competent and ex-

Eis

erleooed pharmacist, having devoted whole life to the study and actual preparation of medicines. He is also a member of the Massachusetts and American Pharmacemtical Associations and continues actively devoted to supervising the preparation of and managing the business connected with Hood's Sarsaparilla.

Hence the superiority and peculiar merit of Hood's Sarsaparilla I* built upon the most substantial foundation. In its preparation there is represented all the knowledge which modern research in medical science has developed, combined with long experience, brainwork, and experiment. It is only necessary to give this medicine a fair trial to realize its great curative value.

GREAT CHANGES.

VETERAN JAMES WHALEN TELLS OF HIS THIRTY YEARS' ARMY LIFE.

Fought in Two Wars—Has Been a Private During His Whole Career—Carried a Musket at First and a Repeating Rifle

Later—Influence of Wives in Camp.

"If I had my life to live over again I would enlist in the regular army at a much earlier ag _• than that when I enrolled myself with it in 1842." The speaker was James Whalea, cue of the oldest inmates of the Soldiers' home, in Washington. Though 78 years of age he appears no more than 60. His figure is as erect, his step as firm and elastic and his whole bearing as graceful and energetic as that of a man in the full vigor of youth, while his head is completely covered with a thick growth of hair, but slightly tinged with gray.

Though he lias known little of school instruction or the study of books he possesses that natural intelligence and rare power of observation which learn from everything seen or heard, and which soon make their possessor a profound scholar in that greatest of all learning, a knowledge of men and things. He also possesses the natural genius of an orator and writer, and when he once begins to talk upon some subject which arouses his interest and enthusiasm he rattles away with q, fluency and eloquence that seem incredible in one so comparatively unlettered. "I was 30 years of age when I enlisted," he continued. "That was in 1842, and I was 60 when I retired, in 1872, after thirty years of faithful service, during which I .passed through the two most important wars, with the exception of the revolution against Great Britain, in which the United States ever engaged —the war with Mexico and the late civil war. I think the Mexican war of greater importance than that of 1812, because it added to our country an immense territory of almost priceless value.

CHANGES IN GUNS.

Though I am more than eight years Deyond the three score and ten allotted as the life of man I constantly think and speak of myself as a boy, and it is only when I consider the wonderful changes that have taken place in our country and its military service since I first shouldered one of Uncle Sam's guns that I realize my age. The only arms we had then were heavy, clumsy old muskets that contained only one ball at a time, and had to be loaded from the muzzle after being once discharged.

We did not even have cartridges. With an old fashioned ramrod we first rammed down some powder. Then we placed a bullet in the palm of our hand, covered it with powder, poured powder and ball into the gun, rammed them down, rammed down a small wad of paper, plaoed a cap on what was called the nipple of our gun—something that no modern gunmaker or user knows anything about—and then we were ready to shoot.

How different from the needle guns, Chassepot rifles, the Winchester and Remington arms of the present day I A little brass cannon carrying a twelve pound ball was the largest gun we had, and wsJl considered something terrific. Now Uncle Sam's cannons are sixteen inch guns, carrying a ball weighing 500 pounds, which requires 250 pounds of powder to fire it, and which will perforate a steel plate sixteen inches thick at a distance of twelve miles. "It was but a short time after my enlistment before I became convinced that a man in the army has afar easier, pleasanter life and a much better chance to prosper and do well, if he behaves himself, th&n in any menial position—such as that of a laborer or servant, for example—outside of it. The officials always manifest an interest in a private who shows a desire to be faithful and improve his condition, and will encourage and aid him in every possible way.

WIVES IN THE ARMY.

"In the army, as elsewhere, the man who squanders his money will be always poor and wretched. On the contrary, if he is industrious and thrifty there is no walk of life in which an ignorant, unlettered man, lacking the, education necessary to enable him to aspire to anything better than daily labor for daily bread, can do better.

Though only officers are now permitted to have their wives with them, yet when I became a soldier in 1842 and for many years afterward a certain number of women were allowed to each company in a regiment as laundresses. These women were the wives of the private soldiers, and as I was so fortunate as to secure one of these positions for my wife I was able to have her with me until the breaking out of the late civil war. This practice is still observed in all the armies of OTeat Britain and her colonies, and I think our government made a great mistake in abandoning it. Married men with wife' and children by their side make the best soldiers. "The presence of those dear ones restrains a man and tends to make and keep him ever sober, faithful and brave in the discharge of his duty. In time of battle he has a more direct interest in winning the fight than the single man, or he whose wife and children are in perfect safety hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles away. He feels that he is battling for a personal stake, and accordingly puts forth his highest, best efforts. "In this respect a British soldier has a marked advantage over the American, though in every other way the condition of the former is not so good as that of the latter. The British, soldier is not so well paid nor so well fed, and his chances for promotion are not nearly so good, hut to be allowed to have wife and children with him more- than compensates him for all his other disadvantages.''—Chicago News. ,v ...

Brain Workers and Rest.

Some brain workers toil on year after year, contenting thetcpelves with the relaxation of a day or two now and then. They have no real vacations, and the brief intervals that they are away from their duties do them but little good, not being long enough for them to forget their work and vexations and get out of the groove they have been running in. There comes at last to these men a time when memory weakens, when it is hard for them to fix the mind upon one subject, and their work seems to grow more and more irksome, and in conversation there is a slight tendency to incoherence. It is rather difficult for them at times to express themselves clearly the suit-able words do not come to them as readily as they once did.

When conversing they start in well, but after a short time their ideas are somewhat confused, and they are obliged to ipake considerable effort to keep their attention fixed upon the subject they are discussing. In writing there is a hesitancy, especially on long words or sentences. They are obliged to stop and think, seeming to drop the thread that they have been holding. These are signs of mental failure, which must not be disregarded. In this condition of brain exhaustion, not only are the reasoning faculties sluggish, but unusual effort is required from the weakened will to keep the attention fixed. G-ood mental work is then accomplished only at the expense of the brain, which is still further weakened by every intense effort,

The time has now come wten mental rest is imperative, and it should bo as complete as possible. A long vacation should be taken short rests are not likely to do any good. A sea voyage promises the greatest good to the weakening brain worker. On shipboard he seems to drop almost entirely out of his old life. His vacation should* not be of less than a month's du*ition, and' it ought to run on for several months. Failing to take the needed rest, insanity is very likely to. be tho psnalty.—Boston Herald.

The Toad nnd the Dutio of Wellington.

Short Cuts has unearthed a peculiarly delightful letter of the Duke of Wellington's, which runs as follows: "Strathfieldsaye, July 27, 1837.—Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington is happy to inform William Harries that his toad i? alive and well." During one of his country walks the duke found,a little boy lying on the ground bending his head over a tame toad and crying as if his heart would break. On being asked what was the matter the child explained that he was crying "for his poor toad." He brought it something to eat every morning, but ho was now to be sent away to school a long distance off, and he was afraid that nobody else would give it anything to eat and that it would die.

The duke, however, consoled him by saying that he would himself

The Advantage of the Public School. We have no place in America for dainty people—often called gilt edged— who think that the army would be a good place if it were not for the rank and file. So it is better for a boy of ours to be pitched into a public school, to take pot luck with all sorts and conditions of boys, and to learn, in the earliest life, that some of the best fellows in the world, not to say the brightest, never had a French nurse, and always black their own shoes, when they are blacked at all. In all such schools that I have known the tone of honor is very high. And in such society one early learns the great lesson that all the people are wiser than any one of the people.—Edward Everett Hale in Forum.
