SPECULATING SHIPS.
How Underwriter* Gambia on Overdue
Vessels Posted at Lloyds.
When a ship is overdue, an oppor­
tunity Is sometimes afforded for a
gamble at Lloyds. It can be readily
mderstood that underwriters who are
interested in the "overdues" are only"
too Willing to get rid of the risk by
paying a premium on the Insured rate
to thosewbo ar^ willing, on their
terms, to relieve them of their respon
ilbilitles. The .premium varies with
the chances of the vessel turning up.'
rhe smaller the chances the higher
the premium and vice versa.
The rates paying on "Overdyes"
lerve as accurate barometers of the
probabilities or otherwise of th^shlp
*ver being beard of again. These un
ierwrlters who speculate on "over
lues" are generally known by the sig
llflcant name of "doctors." The lnsur
ince on an "overdue" may pass
through many channels before the
ihip is, on the one hand, "posted" at
Lloyds as "missing'! or, on the other
band, she arrives in safety.
A ship is never "posted" until the
sommittee is thoroughly satisfied that
tor ca# is hopeless and until the. own
it Is of the same opinion. Before
"posting" a notice Is put up for a
week inviting any information con­
cerning the vessel. If this elicits no
news, the committee at its next meet
ing votes the ship as "missing," and a
notice is posted accordingly. The loss
is then settled .and paid for. It may
be Incidentally remarked that "post­
ing" at Lloyds constitutes a. legal
death certificate for any one on board
the missing ships.—London Express.
BORROWED BOOKS.
Ths art
Way Their Return Pricked
Artist's Conscience.
In the course of some reminiscences
of Sir Edward Burne-Jones a corre­
spondent of the Westminster Gaaette
remarks: Those who are not "offend­
ed" by jiheparadarxes of Charles Lamb
would have delighted In Burae-Jones'
play of humor and Imagination. Let
me justify my reference to Charles
Lamb.
I once returned to Burne-Jones some
boobp which he had lent me thirty
years before, writing to him to the ef­
fect that if It was base to keep bor­
rowed books so long It was heroic to
return them after such long posses­
sion as might well breed the sense of
ownership. In reply he said:
"The return of those hooks has sim­
ply staggered me. It has also pained
me, for it seems to'raise the standard
of morality in these matters and per­
haps to sting the susceptible con­
sciences of book borrowers. I have
many borrowed books on my shelves.
I would rather the owners should die
than that I should have to think about
these things and return them. I have
two! costly volumes that were lent to
me before that little Incident of'ours,
•afwhlbh, you may remember! was In
Red Lion square^ I hope the owner Is
no more, for I simply will not give
them up. And you have made me un-(
easy and have helped to torn an ami­
able rascal into a confirmed villain."
8pain*s Popular Beverage.
"Horchata de chufa" to the singular
name of the most popular drink in
Madrid. This is made from a nut
called "chufa," yielding a milky liquid
when reduced to a pulp. This to di­
luted with water ..and forms a most
cooling and refreshing drink. How­
ever, it is an acquired taste. Very few
like It at the first trial. The horchata
may be made from different kinds of
nuts. The almond is used also. Strange
to. relate, the horchata de chufa is al
tys sold where matting is. kept for
safe', so that when you spy a roll of
the .' totter Outside the store door It is
aatirfllcient indication that in that par
tfcular"place. you may procure a glass
of the horchata. In spite of Inquiries,
I-was unable to discover the origin of
the singular combination of articles on
sale.—London Truth.
Druggists' Lights.
An apothecary fouqd himself minns
his red light one night at a time when
It was customary for tradesmen of his
.ss to ornament their store fronts
wife1 a simple red lamp. To supply his
need be took a glass bottle filled with
a red fluid and placed a candle behind
it ,\The effect so pleased him that be
added another. Rival druggists Illu­
minated their windows, increasing the
namber of lights and also changing the
colors. Thus the entire town followed
the: lead. So It became the fashion.
Avoiding Temptation.
Cecil was much impressed by the
Sunday school teacher's plea for inis
rfloha and decided to save his pennies
for the heathen. He made a great
effort and failed once or twice. Then
he prayed. "O Lord," h,e begged
"please help me save my money, and—
don't let Jim, the peanut man, come
down this street."—Cleveland Leader.
He Didn't Throw It.
"Miss Pechls," said Mr. Tfanmid at
the other end of the sofa, "If I were
to throw, you a kiss I wonder what
you'd say."
"Well," replied Miss Pechls, "I'd say
you were the laziest man I ever saw."

7 A Distinction.
"Tell me," said Miss Witherupp, "Mr.
Newman remarked to you that I didn't
show my age, didn't he?"
"Not exactly. He said you were
careful to conceal It," replied Miss
Frank.—Exchange.

iiimpod Hia Prida.
There Is a young man In Boston who
an actually trace his family back two
generations. His one failing is a de
atle to be thought a descendant of one
of "the old families," and this studio—
fa: says he to an artist—contains a
W.mber of heirlooms. One thing In
-srl lch he takes particular pride is a
Continental uniform complete in every
tfetail, with flintlock and powder horn.
9B» was showing this to a young
l*iy the other day. "My great-grand
iiil^er wore .this suit when be gave
hfci life to his country during the brave
iiays of the Revolution," he said. The

i. Oivee Warning of a Storm.
In the. bay of Biscay frequently dur­
ing the autumn and winter' in calm
weather a heavy sea gets up and rolls
to on the coast four and twenty hours
before the gale which causes it ar­
rives and Of which it is the prelude.
In this case the wave action, generat­
ed on the other side of the Atlantic by
the wind, travels at a jnuch greater
rate than that of the body of disturb­

coming storm.—Dundee Advertiser.
