An Old Mystery Solved.
A commercial traveler, on leaving 0
certain hotel, said to the proprietor:
"Pardon ate, but with what material
do you stuff the beds in your estab.
ltshment?"
"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."

lressels Catalogued as "Missing" and
the Ulster', of Their Adventures
• Will Never Be Known,
Tile ocean is the home of .mystery,
and one recalls many strange happen-
ing's which have occurred even in'our
time rhipo have sailed away, well
built, and in charge of skilful officers,
but nota trace of them has ever been
found—that fateful word "missing"
has been their epitaph. But there,
have bean 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 flee was burning in the
galley, and an untested meal was upon
_'the table in the cabineand the whole
of ,the cargo was sound and in good
'eondition. 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=
ten off as one of those strange prob-
lems which `defy even the skill of the
nartical Sherlock Holmes,
Like a Thief lin the Night.
On January 22nd, 18'13, the emi-
grant ship Northfleet was run down
and sunk, with the loss of two hun-
dred and ninety-three lives, as she
lay peacefully at anchor 'off Dunge-
ness. Although many people on board
the ill-fated ship saw the "long, black,
straight -bowed steamer" which cut
down the clipper, the mystery has
never been frilly solved to this day.
Suddenly out of the darkness a big
steamer came rushing at the emigrant
ship, and struck her fairly amidships,
in spite of the warning cries and
whistles raised by the latter. Like a
thief in the night the steamer backed,
turned, and finally steamed off at, full .
speed, leaving the unfortunate eini- j
grants to go clown with the rapidly- l
filling sailing ship. As the steamer
backed the crew were seen to run
forward and cover up the figurehead
and name of their craft, calling out
at the same time something in a for-
eign tongue.
The mystery of identity of the
steamer which ran clown the North-
fleet has never been solved. A Span -

there is a story' of a sailing ship which'

ship, which approached her contrary
to nil tines and usages of the eoa,
Struck her, backed off, and finally dis-
appeared ---or, rather, drifted astern-
and was soon no more. The remark-
able part, of the story 1s that ,not a
soul was seen en the strange ship, no
one answered the hail of the astonish-
ed crew 'of the first -named craft, and,
ad the colliding ship drifted off, no one

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 ease of -the Waratah, which
faded out of existence some years ago,
leaving not a trace; but other equally
fine 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 Lut the missing liner over
a period of many weeks. Ship after
ship arrived which had started after
the President, and still notidings of
the missing ship came to hand.
On April 13th—unlucky day—a let-
ter was received by one of the family
of a passenger on the President, say-
ing that the missing ship had been
driven to Madeira, with a damaged
rudder. Flags were hoisted, and there
was joy on both aides of the Atlantic,
but, alas! it was a cruel hoax,
Since that ill -staved day when the
President left New York there have
been many missing ships, and the
story of the old American liner has
been repeated again and again, with
perhaps a slight variation in detail.
Some mysteries, although never ac-
tually solved, give us something on
which to found a theory. The ship
which sidled away with a cargo of
railway metals, matches and gun-
powder, and was afterwards reported
"missing," may have sunk', but Sher-
lock Holmes would probably have
thought otherwise.

CAMP COFFEE IN LAPLAND
Method of Serving Diluter Among 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 squatted in a ring about
the fire watching the roasts, all except
a wrinkled old woman, who as an ex-
pert was intent upon a more tedious
ceremony. Out of a shin knapsack
she had taken a small skin bag. From
this she extracted some twelve green
coffee beans, which she proceeded to
roast one by one in a smaiI 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 feethery wood
ash.
Then the 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 latowii 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 nreeinitated 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.
lit a more civilized lean this would
of course been rudeness; in a savage
it was a'simple act of courtesy. It was
a pla'u assurance that the bowl con-
tained no poison, Then he handed it
op for hie guests to drink in tern, and
the American says that he does not
know that lie ever tasted better coffee,

ing horses.
