An Old Mystery Solved.
A commercial traveler, on leaving a
certain hotel, said to the proprietor:
"Pardon nae, but with what material
do you stuff the beds in your estab-
lishment?"
"Why," said the landlord, proudly,
"with the best straw to be found in the
whole country!"
"That," returned the traveler, is very
interesting. I now know whence the
straw came that broke the camel's
back,"

Yessels Catalogued es "Missing" and
the History of Their Adventures
Will Never Be Known.
The ocean le the home of ,mystery,.
and one recalls many strange happen-
ings which have occurred even in' our
time. ;',hips have sailed away, well
built, and in charge of skilful officers,
but not a trace of them has ever been
found ---that: fateful word "missing"
has been their epitaph. But there,
hav[, been other ocean mysteries, in
no way connected with missing ships..
Some years ago a ship was found
with all sail set and all her gear in
good condition, but without a soul on
board, A fire was burning in the
galley, and an untested meal was upon
the table in the cabin,,and the whole
of ,the cargo was sound and in good
'condition, There was not'the slight-
est sign of a struggle, and the log had
been written up peacefully and in a
proper manner up to a short time of
her discovery. '•The ship was salved,
but no one every solved the mystery,
and probably it must for ever be writ -
ton off as one of those strange prob-
lems which defy even the skill of the
nautical Sherlock Holmes.
Like a Thief lin the Night.
•On January 22nd, 1873, the emi-

came forward to clear. away the
wreckage.
Epitaph of Many Ships.
"Missing" is a terrible word, and
yet it is the sole epitaph of many a
well -remembered ship, We all remem-
ber the case of -the Waratah, .which
faded out of existence some years ago,
leaving not a trace;; but other equally
final ships have never been heard of
again after sailing away "all well.'
The first big steamer to be reported
missing was the President, which sail-
ed away from New York as long ago
as March, 1841. Perhaps it was be-
cause big steamers were then marvels
in the eyes of the people of both the
Old and the New World that the whole
public of America and Europe thought
of nothing but the missing liner over
a period of many weeks. Ship after
ship arrived which had started after
the President, and still no tidings of
the missing ship came to hand.

CAMP COFFEE IN LAPLAND
Method of Serving Dinner ftmong the
Inhabitants of Little Country.
An American consular officer in
Scandinavia gives the recipe for mak-
ing coffee among the Lapps, when
• they are so fortunate as to have it at
all.
Dinner was eaten out of doors, and
the one dish of the meal consisted of
roast lemmings, little creatures some-
thing between a guinea pig and a rat,
and as the officer admits "exquisitely
peculiar" as to their flavor.
•The party sguattedin a ring about
the fire watching the roasts, all except
a wrinkled old woman, who as an ex-
pert was intent linen a more tedious
ceremony. Out of a skin knapsack
she had taken a small skin bag. From
Ws she extracted some twelve green
coffee beans, which she proceeded to
roast one by one in a small iron spoon.
When they were cooked to her
taste she bruised them to coarse frag-
ments between stones and put the re-
sult with water into a copper kettle,
which had one lid in the usual place
and another on the"end of the spout
to keep out smoke and feathery wood
ash.
Thenthe whole mixture was boiled
un together into a bubbling froth of
coffee fragments and coffee extract.
She cleared it by an old trick which
si known to campers all over the
world. This was to throw into the
kettle a small splash of cold water
when the coffee grounds were prompt-
ly .nrecipitated to the bottom.
Then she poured the clear, brown,
steaming liquor into a blackened bowl
of birch root and handed it to the good
man, her husband.
After he had taken the bowl in his
fingers the woinan hunted in a lea-
thern knapsack and produced a lump
of beet sugar. The host bit a frag-
ment from it and lodged it in his teeth
and then he lifted the bowl to his lips
and ,drank,
In a more civilized man this would
of course been rudeness; in a savage
it was asimple act of courtesy. It was
a slaw assurance that the bowl con-
tained no poison.. Then he handed it
on for Inc guests to drink in turn, and
the American says that he does not
knew that he ever tasted better coffee.
