According to a -very lucid description of the sinking of Valkyrie, given In the Loudon Pleld, there seems to have been nut alone u reckless failure to police the couie at the sturtlng line and an entire absence of courtesy on the part of spectators, but an ubsolute disregard of "rules of the road" by Satanlta's skipper. Vnllt)rle was on the starboard tack and had the right of way, et, it Is s.iltl.

It Is a lesaorr much needed bv nianv vachtsmen here, ns well as abroad, and some nmatem skippers may leallze that the "rule of the road" ob tains at all times, even when sailing In a regatta or "Jocke)lng" for position at the start.

Theie is a baby living at 93 Bremen street that has spent the greater por tion of its brief existence on railroad trains and on steamships. It has prac tically circumnavigated the world, says the Cincinnati Knqulrer, and has been an unconscious participant In several udventures and one romance, and, as matters are shaping, may expect to do mote travelling at an early date. Over two years ago, Herman C. Llskc nun and his young wife started from Berlin for this country to better their condition On the way over a girl baby was born to them, and the little one's advent was tlul) honored on board the steamer. Llskeman, shortly nftei his arrival In New York, was stricken v Ith Uphold fevci and died The widow thereupon went to relatives who have a farm near Los Angeles, Cil. Three months In that glorious climate partially lestored Mrs. Llskemnn's health nnd tplrlls She then accepted nn Invita tion from friends at San Kianclsco. While there she was Introduced to Cnpt. John Bancroft, mastei of a ship that traded between the Golden Gate nnd S)dney, Australia. The sailor saw, loved, proposed and was accepted, and when his ship, the Water Witch, next set sail southward, his bride and his little stepdaughter were on board. At S)dncy Capt. Bancroft received In structions to sail for the Brazils The baby, In the menn Urn", was thriving on sea air and fare. The Water Witch pioceeded to one of the Amnion ports, and while theie Mrs. Uancroft caught vellow fever and tiled In a few hours In spite of the loss of Its mother, the babv grew and waxed fat. Capt. Ban croft lavished on It all the love of a real father. The Water Witch next sailed for Liverpool, thence went to a Mediterranean port, returning to New York a year since. Capt. Bancroft left the ship at that port, and proceeded overland to Seattle, Wash, the babe being with him. On the wav, and when near Salt Lake City, the train was wrecked by a washout, but the child and Its guardian escaped unharmed. A little later Bancroft was appointed commander of a ship that trades In the Gulf of Mexico. He took the little one with him. but, realizing that the climate might injure its health, rent It North to the friends who now have It In charge In tills city at the address given. IT WAS '1IME TO OO IIOMR. How nit Alarm Clock Stopped a Poker tnme. "Speaking about tho peculiar uses to which alarm clocks have been put," said a business man to a Pittsburg Dispatch reportei, "I know of none more rldle uIouh than o case that I witnessed. There are several of us. all friends, who Join In a little game of poker now and then. The game usually becomes more Interesting than we expect, so all limi tations of time are set aside. It was ull very well for us unmarried fellows to get home at 4 o'clock In the morning, but one of the number had a wife wait ing patiently for him. and, while she was not opposed to her husband having a friendly gume of poker occasionally she did object strenuously to his coming home at such hours, believing in moder ation In all things. The other night we weie nil deeply Interested in a 'Jack pot" which had attained respectable propor tions, when suddenly we were surprised by a continued ringing ot a bell, the sound apparently coming from our mar ried friend's pocket. He threw down his hand with a laugh, and delving Into his coat pocket, produced a small alarm clock. We looked on In amazement, but our benedict was convulsed with laugh ter. Finally the bell stopped ringing, and he said: " 'Boys, I forgot to tell you about It. I tried to explain to my wife how the great Interest I took In the game always made me forgetful of time, as an excuse foi my late home-coming, when, to my sur prise, she. said; " ' "Well, George, If ) ou can't remem ber when Its time to come home I've got a way to remind you of It." She said nothing more, but when I left the house this evening she put this alarm clock In my pocket, saying: "George, I've set it for 1.30; I think that's late enough for any man, so there's no ex cuse to-night.'" Of course we all Joined In the laugh, but It did not last long, for George got up Jrom the table, saying: 'Well, boys. I'll have to be off; there's no excus" lo-nlght." "Inasmuch as George was In $73 on the game this Information caused all our faces to grow long. But George went, notwithstanding our strong appeals for him to stay.

Colored Infant Deposited I'nhnrt In is Treetop. A big eagle, which has been seen sev eral times recently umong the rocky crags of Broken Buck Mountain, about twenty miles west of Johnson City, Tenn . made Its appearance yesterday In the valley below In a very startling manner. While some colored women were washing clothes on the brink of a small stream, It swooped down upon them, sa)s the Cincinnati Enqulier. and, seizing a little pickaninny, which was bound fast In a heavy chair, starl et! to carry It away, chair and all, In Its great talons. The prey was bo heavy, however, that the bird's night was slow and uncertain. While tnlng to pick Its way through the top of n tree a rung of the chair caught on a broken limb, thus breaking the eagle's hold and saving th life of the chid. The Infant was almost stilpped of Its clothing, but was left seated In an upright position, an adjoining branch preventing the chali from turning over. lhe terrllled screams of the women frightened the bird away and brought some men to the scene After some de. la) the) succeeded in lowering the bab) wltli ropes It was not serlousl) hurt One i law of the bird left a deep In cision on lis shoulder. About five miles further on a mouii t.ilnffr, who was returnlg from a hunt wltli his gun, tired a heavy tharge nf turkey shot at what he supposed to be Hie same eugle, as it descended Into Ids barnyuid after some chickens. One wing was broken b tbe shot, and the blid, thus unable to fl), was despatched b) the hunter with a rail fiom n fence, aftei a hard fight, In which the man re telved several erv palnlul wounds from beak nnd talons. It measured eight feet from tip to tip, Approprlnlr, (Prom T.xas Fittings ) A countrvmin and his bride applied at the box-oftlce for tickets.

The girl who manipulated the type writer ceased to click-clack her machine, and tossed her wilted bangs as If cent' ing danger from afar. "What's the mat ter?" she asked anxiously. "Oh, nothing much,'r he answered, broadening Ms face out Into a sardonic srln." I'm going to get married to-night, that s all "Oh!" The typewriter girl bottled up her surprise after the emission of that pne effervescent exclamation, and quiet ly thought it over a minute. "But I shouldn't think you would look so blua about It." she added, after making sure she thoroughly comprehended the Import of the communication. "This ought to be the happiest day of your life. You ought" ..'.'Humph, that's nil you know about It," he Interrupted, contemptuously. guess you have never been married have ) ou? ' She said she never had. Visions ot he best voting man flitted through her 1m agination, and she was tempted to te him that she hoped to be some day, bi she thought better of It, and the lmpeci nlous )oung man proceeded: "I've got to talk It over with somi body or I'll naturally explode with th fci mentations nf my own emotions. Be here. This will explain It all, and the )ou won't wonder that I am a fit Inmatt for a lunatic as)lum." He handed her a sheet of paper, oi which wab u wllderneis of figures run ning up nnd down und cross ways and dl agonally from the centre, where was a dollar-mark of magnificent proportions The girl looked at It, and then she com menced to get muddled, too. " I don't see nny senee In It," she re marked, looking to him for an explana tion "Of course, jou don't," he sneered "I might have known ou wouldn't. Bee that $20? That's my salary a paltry $30," and he Indicated with his thumb a diminutive numbei In the upper left hand corner, "nnd a fair prositjct of 23 per cent, reduction if these htira times continue. These ate my expenses," and a sweep of the hand took the rest of tho bewildering computation, "But it doesn't cost much to get mr. rled," the girl argued, becoming en thusiastic on the subject fraught with, such vital Interest to her and her young man. "A marriage license only costs $1 50, and any minster will officiate for $3." "And one can live comfortably, and luxuriously on marriage licenses and preachers!" he shouted. "If those were the only considerations I wouldn't be In such a stew. But they are onlv a drop in the bucket. I love the girl, and I have always thought till yesterday that I couldn't live without her. but now I'll be blessed If I can see how I'm ever te live with her. Not but that I love her Just as dearly as I did; It's the financial side of the question that Is curdling trie gray part of my brain and reducing nt to a total wreck. "I got the license and my new suit ana everything yesterday, and guess bow much money I had left' Just 36 cents. We've got to go right to housekeeping, too. for she is as poor as a church mouse herself, and has been living In a fourth-class boarding-house till she's almost dead. If you can tell me where 1 can scrape up money enough to et i going I'll be eternally grateful to you Good Lord! Just think of It. Here It h 4 o'clock, and I'm to be married at 8.3t and only 3C cents In my pocket, Ane then you wander why I groan! But the girl had ceased to marvel She began to write out specification! again, and even the rattle of the nuv chine was tempered down to a reflective, sympathetic click. HAD Foil TUB EYES. Tspeverltlnp; nnd Itcndlntr Trains Injnre the Starlit. An eminent oculist declares that type writing has an Injurious effect on till e)es, sa)s the Heading Times. The operator Is obliged to glance In cessantly back and forth from the key board to the shorthand notet,, and thll Is a muscular exercise of tho most fa tiguing sort. For this reason, the ocu list urges, It Is desirable for typewriter to cultivate a familiarity with the key board similar to that possessed by tni accomplished pianist with the keyboan of his Instrument, so that It will be nee essary to look at the keys as little a poslhle. . .. While the injury that may result to th e)es of a hard-working typewrltlst wn is not sure of her figures and her key Is not to be regarded too lightly. It I not likely to be near as serious as tha resulting from the practice Indulged I by so many In these days of rallrp travel of persistent reading on trains This practice Is most to ing on tho delicate muscles that regulate the shaps of the eyes' lenses and so affect the focal lzatlon of the organ. The danger ii greatest, of course, on those railroads whose ballasting Is imperrect and whosj rails are roughlv laid, producing miira jerrlng and consequent rapid changlnt of the distance between the e)es and thl paper. j In some cases the eyes of a victim o the rallioad-reading habit arc so affecte as to focus at different distances, an then his sufferings arc most acute, anl though muc'i relief may be afforded M the treatment of a skilled practitioner, nothing but a discontinuance of tni habit will afford a perfect cine. In the scase of a person who suffern tortures for two or three )ears from Ml disorder due to train reading, nelttnv rest nor professional skill availed until by accident the ellow window shadei In the office In which ho was employed were removed, when he was able at ono to work with greatlv Increased ease ana comfort, and In a few months was en tirely cured. v KIHl roUND THE TltEASimE..
