A PIRATE'S FITTING END.
The levjcaneer 1,'tHonnoIe Was Tortured
to Death by Indians.
In St. Nicholas, in bis series of
sketches of "Tbtj Buccaneers of Our
Coast," Mr. Frank R. Stockton tells of
tbe adventures of L'Olouuois, the
Frenchman. Wbiieccasting along Hon
duras L'Olonnoi j ran his vessel ashore.
Mr. Stockton savs:
As it was irapossiblo to get their
preat vessel off the Eaud banks tbe pi
rates set to work to break her up and
bnild a boat or.t cf ber planks. But
hen they began the work they had no
idea it wuald take so leng to build a
boat. It was months before the un
wieldy crait was finished, and they oc
cupied part of the time in gardening.
planting French brans, which were ripe
in about six weeks, and gave them some
fresh vegetables. They also had some
cf tbe ship's stores, and made bread,
thus managing to livo very well.
L Olonnuis was never intended by
nature to be a boatbtiildcr, and when
the boat was finished it was discovered
that it had been planned so badly that
it would not hold tbcm all, so they
drew lots to see v.'ha should embark in
her, for one-half of them would have to
stay until the others came back. Of
course L'Olouuois went in tho boat, and
ho reached tho mouth of tho Nicaragua
river. Tbero his party was attacked by
some Spunir.rds and Indians, who killed
more thau half of them and prevented
tbo others from landing. L'Olonucis
and the rest of his men got Bafoly away.
and they might have sailed Lack to the
island where they had left their com
rades, for there was now room enongh
for them all. But instead they went to
tho coast cf Cartagena.
Tbe pirates left oa the island by their
heartless companions were rescued by a
buccaneering vessel, butL'Olonuoishad
cow reached tho cud of bis wicked ca
reer.
On the shores whera ho landed ho did
not find prospirous villages and peace
ful inhabitants to ba rubbed, but instead
bo came open a fierce tribe of Indians
called by tho tnauiurds "bravos."
or wild men. Theso people would never
have anything to do with tbo whites.
It was iiiipotsibio to coarjut r them or to
pacify them. They bated white men
They had heard of L Olouucis and his
buccaneers, and when they found this
notorious pirate upon their shores they
were liiled with a fury such as they had
never felt tov.urd any other cf his race.
ieariy an or tne tuceanecrs were
hilled, and L'Olouuois, being taken
prisoner, was put to death witli snost
cruel tortures a fato of which ho had
no right to complain.

3M0CK MARRIAGES.
i:trr -e In Maine of a Cnstora That Pre-
Tailed Ia ICnglasd a Century Afo.
A Hangar lawyer attending court in
the ancient town cf Wise-asset, Me.,
went rummaging recently in tbe colonial
Court records of tho place and in tbe
course of bis reading ran across the
official registration of a "'smock mar
riage," Net knowing what sort of mar
riage that wr.s he looked further and
got considerable light upon a custom
that prevailed in England a century or
two ago and also to some extent in the
American colcnies.
Snioek marriages were weddings
where the bride appeared dressed in a
white sheet or chemise. The reason of
such a garb was the belief that if a
roan married a woman who was in debt
he could be held liable for her indebted-
Bees if he received htr with any of her
property, and also that if a woman mar
ried a man who va iu debt his credit
ors could not take her property to satis
fy their claims if he received nothing
from her. Iu England, says an nntitma-
rian, there was at least one rase where
tho bride was clothed pt.ris uutnralibua
whilo the ceremony was being per
formed iu the great church at Lirmiiig-
baui. Tho minister ct first refused to
perform the ceremony, but finding noth
ing in the rubric tint t would excuse biui
he married the pair.
lo carry out the law fuliy as tho peo
ple understood it the ceremony should
always have been performed as it was
in tho Eirmiugha'iu church. Kut modes
ty forbidding, various expedients were
used to accomplish the desired purpose
aud yet avoid tho undesirable features.
bometimcs the brido stood iu a close t
aud put her band through a hole iu tho
cour. sometimes she stoeel behind a
cloth screen aud put her baud out ut
one side, bg.iiu sho wound ubout her a
white sheet furnished for the purpose
by tha bride groom, and sint times she-
stood in her chemise cr smock. Even
tually, ia E-sex county at least, all im-
modesty was avoided by the l ride
.... ...
groom's furnishing to thu l.ride all the
clothes she wore, retaining title to the

It is noted by tho same writer that in
all cases of siueek marriages that have
come to his knowledge the britics have
been widows.
It is thought that during tho reign of
George III there were inauy smock mar
riages iu Alaiue, then a part of the pro v
nice of Alassachusctis lv, cruelly iu
Lincoln nud York counties or iu thu tcr
ritory which is now so known, lbero is
nothing to show that tho practice out
lived the lvjvulutiou. In Maine up to
lb jj a busbmid was liable fur debts of
his wife contracted before marriage,
and no such subterfngo as the snioek
marriage could relieve him. In'cw York

CURIOUS STATISTICS.

ty Years of Life.
Taken all in ull, a healthy man with
a good uppetiie aud moderate thirst con
smites iu 70 years 'Jii,' tons of solid am
liciuid foods. If the consumer weighs,
say, l.jli pmiiKls, no will eat aud elriuk
during his litclimu 1,280 times his own
weight. Trausfcruiins all this foodstuff
iuto mcebauical laln r, the strength de
rived would l:j suflicieut to lift bi.CUO,
COO tons one font from the ground or t
laiso tho l'crth bridgu ut Ldinburgh,

height tf feet.
Lxeludiug the first 20 years cf a life
time, the ;uuutity cf cigarettes con
sumed by a regular siu-jk. r who siiioLes
a dozen every day would ia to years
reach the number cf SU.COU, or a mon
ster rolled cigarette lm re than 1G fet
iu length and about o feet thick, beside
which tho tallest man would rescmL! :
a veritable dwarf. A cigar suioker cuu-
snming sis cf his favorite brand a day
would during his lifetime siuuko a gi
gantic cigar of mtrre than 10 feet long
und almost 2' fett thick. It would
weigh 4,410 pounds aud would take
tho suction power of a steam engine to
puff it.
As the smoking habit is not necessary
to existence it is easily seen how much
moui'y a smokcT v.aste-s in tho rutir.: uf
years. A pipe smoker consumes iu bis
lifetime a half ton cf tobacco. ievr

We inust remember that there ure no
such tbingi as lines in nature. Whether
we use them to represent a human pro
file, the depth of a shadow, tho dark
uess of a cloak or a thundercloud, they
are mere conventional symbols. They
were invented a long time ago by a dis
tinguished sportsman who was also
heaven born amateur artist tbe John
Leech cf his day who engraved fur us
(from life) tbe picture ct a mammoth
on one cf its own tusks. And we have
accepted them ever since as the cheapest
and simplest war of interpreting in
black and white for the wo-i-l engraver.
