AN ODD OLD CHARACTER.
Xata, tba Bum boat Woman, Who Haa
Haunted Washington’s Navy
yard for Forty Years.
Kate, the bumboat woman, is
the title applied to an odd cron
ture who has been haunting the
Washington navy yard for the
past 40 years, says the Washing
ton Post. Her name is Kate
Royal, and as far back and further
than the oldest man connected
with the yard ean remember, Kate
has been making her daily trips
with her basket of candy, fruit
and notions to sell to the sailors
who visit Washington on Uncle
Sam’s boats. Kate has a speaking
acquaintance with all the great
men of the army and navy. She
has letters and presents from
most of them, including Amirals
Dewey, Sampson and Schley.
Kate made her first visit to the
yard during the civil war. She
was a young woman in those days,
and her bright Irish ways made
her a great favorite. In later
years, when age began to creep
upon her, she began to form an
opinion that she was an active
and indispensable part of the
navy. She considered herself an
enlisted person and became as de
voted to the cause as the most
loyal man. It is just 40 years sines
Kate began to consider herself 4
sailor.
She has had ten red enlistment
stripes, representing four years
each, placed upon a field of blue
cloth, and this she wore to cele
brate the anniversary.

1a a piuiurcsquc cunraf;*
ter. Her form is bowed beneath
the weight of 70 years, and her
face is seamed with the marks of
time. Only her eyes still retain
the brilliancy of youth, and they
sparkle with the same Irish hu
mor and good nature that
gleamed from them 40 years ago.
Kate has no regular hours of
business. She is on hand with the
rising sun, and the late hours of
the evening find her still on duty.
She gathers her little stock of
trade around her under the fore
castle of one of the United States
boats lying up at the yard, and
with the sailor boys lying around
her on the floor she will tell them
tales of her youth or crone Irish
melodies for them until the signal
for lights out is passed around,
and the sailors seek their swing
ing hammocks, and Kate shoul
ders her basket of goods and wan
ders home.
HERO AND THE TOOTHACHE
Remarks Thereon by a Disillusioned
Girl—He Had Faced Death
at Santiago.
“I used to be given to heto
worship,” said the girl with
the Russian sable muff to
her companion of the long, dark
eyelashes, according to the New
York Sun. “But, dear, we change,
do we not? Do you recall how I
spent the last of my pin money to
attend a reception that the club
arranged for.a certain hero?
“Well, the week before last I
was coming up from Palm Beach.
On the train was a hero who had
withstood a dozen hostile fires at.
Santiago. He had' a toothache, a
, simple little toothache, and he bel
lowed like a calf. I thought of the

one afternoon without gas and
asked myself if the man was real
ly brave. I decided that a hero
must have a toothache such as
the ordinary mortal never
dreamed of.
“One of the train hands who
sympathized with the hero said:
‘The best thing for a toothache is
whisky. If I had one I’d fill up’-—
and he did. I mean my hero, that
was, did. Don’t talk to me in fu

rather face death than be afraid
of a toothache. Have a bon bon?”

among Parisians, is to go into a
drug store Vnd ask for three cents’

Rue de Rivoli has just hit upon a

FORTUNE IN PORPOISES.
Cany of the White Cetacean* PI*
«nent the OnK of St. Lawrence,
and Are Valuable.
American tourists crossing the St.
Lawrence from the mouth of the Sague
nay can almost always enjoy the*sight of
h number of porpoises disporting them
selves upon the water in the neighbor
hood of Tadoussac, says the New York
Bun. The great white cetaceans appear
like shapeless masses of blubber as their
arched backs show from time to time
above the surface. They are doubtless
attracted to the mouth of the Saguenay
by the large number of salmon which en
ter the river throughout the season.
A large Industry is expected soon to
spring up In various parts of the Gulf of
Bt. Lawrence in connection with the
hunting of porpoises. It has already
been attempted upon a small scale, but
the difficulty of capturing any great
number of the animals has stood In the
way of success. Now the difficulty has
been overcome through the observations
and experiments of Campbell McNab, a
Canadian hunter, who has spent many
years in the study of these animals.
The adult porpoise of the St Lawrence
and the North Atlantic ocean is from
12 to 18 feet in length. It somewhat re
sembles a dolphin In shape, with large
dorsal fin and a mouth armed with many
strong and Bharp teeth. Each porpoise
is believed to eat from one to three bar
rels of fish a day, so that It Is difficult
to estimate the frightful ravages which
they make among the salmon, the her
ring and the cod. They are largely gre
garious, though they often hunt their
prey In couples. Mr. McNab has often
peered over the edge of an overhanging
rock to watch them catch salmon at the
mouth of a stream and sometimes a long
distance up a river, where they follow
their prey; They chase a salmon Into •
shallow and then two approach It from
either side. The salmon appears un
able to move, as If paralyzed with fear.
If he attempts to rush from one of his
pursuers he falls Into the open mouth of
the other.
The porpoise Is equally expert In fish
ing for the slippery eel. Mr. McNab
opened one of these animals the other
day and found more than 40 eels In its
stomach. To prevent their wriggling,
and to aid digestion, the porpoise cracks
the skull of the eel between its teeth be
fore swallowing it.
Like the eel, the porpoise can live a
long time out of the water. In fact, It is
virtually amphibious. Some time ago
Mr. McNab shot a number of the ani
mals which had been hauled ashore and
bound together by their tails. After
skinning another lot at some distance
and taking out the blubber, he turned a
few days later to the lot which had been
last shot. Unknown to him one had not
been killed outright. As he passed in
front of it it growled at him “like a dog.”
he says, and opened its jaws to snap him
The porpoises are captured by beint
Imprisoned at low tide on the shoals
over which they have journeyed whr-i
the tide was high, in pursuit of thei
prey. Hitherto the difficulty has been U
flud any barrier strong enough to retail
such enormously strong, heavy beasts
and so many of them together as are
sometimes enclosed. Mr. McNab hat
made the interesting discovery that th«
enormous nets through which they otter
broke are not necessary to hold bad
the brutes. They are unable to stand th«
Slightest vibration In the water, and s<
all that the hunter now finds necessary It
to fasten a long thin pole like a fishing
rod to a stake in the month of th*
■tream, the bay or the estuary wlthis
which it is desired to retain the por
poises. They remain to be stranded an#
killed upon the shallows rather than ven.
ture past the vibrating rod.
This sensitiveness is believed to hare
its seat in the ear of the animal, which
has so small an opening that it might
almost have been made with a pin. For
years McNab has held firmly to this
theory, only to be laughed at for his
pains. He has now proved it beyond
peradventure, and has reaped the fruit
of MS’persistence. At one tide the other
day he secured 69 of the animals on the
thoals of the Portneuf rive^a few miles
below Tadoussac, and next year will
pursue operations there upon a larger
■»nio Hr has Recur«.d a nine year lease •
ot the shoal from the government and
has apparently a fortune within easy
reach. The skin and oil from a slngla
porpoise are worth from $30 to $50.
The utmost caution has to be takes
sot to drive the animals away from their
haunts. If any of the blood or refuse ol
their dead is permitted to reach the wa
ter. Mr. McNab declares, they will da
»ert the place entirely. This Is the ex
planation he gives of the present absence
of porpoises from the River Ouelle and
other places on the banks of the St. Law
rence, where a few years ago many of
them were annually killed. The por
poise, he says, Is one of the most intellt
fent animals created.

WHO GETS MOCHA COFFEE ?
Host of It Taken by Sheiks and Gov
ernors of Arabia—Little Is
Ever Exported.
“I don’t believe there is a
pound of genuine Mocha coffee on
this continent,” Mr. C. T. Hilli
glas, a coffee merchant, informs
me, says a writer in the St. Louis
Globe Democrat, “or that 200 peo
ple in this country have ever tast
ed it, unless they have at some
time visited Arabia and drunk it
at the table of some sheik or gov
ernor.
“The true Mocha is the finest
coffee grown; it has a delicious fla
vor that makes it as superior to
the very best of other brands as
■ilk is superior to cotton, but the
crop is extremely limited, and
hardly ever more than satisfies
purely local demands. Some
Arabian coffee may find its way to
this country; it may even be called
Mocha, but it is not the real arti
cle, I am sure, and none of us haa
ever had it here, though we get the
best of other brands that are
grown in Ceylon and Java, and
that means some mighty fine cof
fee. It is not Mocha, however, for
the whole of the true Mocha crop
each year wouldn’t supply the cof
fee demands of one ward in St.
Louis alone for a period of six
months. The best and plumpest
berries of the Mocha growth,
those with the most exquisite
flavor, are eagerly tak.en by
the governors and sheiks in the
vicinity, and they have to get their
orders in in advance, so that they
may be sure of their annual sup
ply. The second-grade berries go
to the wealthier citizens, not of
the governing class, and the third,
or poorest, grade of berries, which
are not much superior to the best
Java coffee, are sold to the people,
and the demand invariably ex
ceeds the supply.
“Sometimes a few pounds of
this cheapest grade of Mocha finds
Its way to Constantinople, but It
is very, very seldom, and I don’t
believe an ounce of it has ever got
any further west than that. I pre
sume that if, by some hook ,or
crook, a pound of the real plump
berried Mocha were landed in this
country it would sell for a price
that even a Rockefeller might hes
itate to pay. We get the best cof
fee grown, apart from the Mocha,
but the local conditions which pre
vail where that coffee is raised
prevent us from obtaining any,
and I hardly think the real thfhg
will ever be found in our markets.”
POPE A GREAT FAVORITE.
Has Been a Fulpit Orator of Renown
from Very Owtset of His
Priestly Career.
One recalls, writes William J.
D. Croke, in Century, those mov
ing speeches which, as car
dinal, he delivered weeping in the
conclave, setting forth all his im
perfections (his sins, even), and
the disadvantages of his career
from barefooted boyhood up, but
which really secured him the
throne, and the stories of him
which every one knows in Lom
bardy and Venetia. For no eccle
siastic can have been more widely
known than he. A pulpit orator
of renown from the very outset
of his priestly career, the sought
after panegyrist of great occa
sions when bishop and patriarch,
no wonder that he was hailed by a
voice in Kome when he took pos
session of his title as cardinal1
“No one has spoken so well as this
cardinal!” As country assistant,
then parish priest, then professor
in the seminary of Treviso, canon,
chancellor of the diocese, great
hierarch of Mantua, the successor
of St. Mark, everyone seems to
know him, and no one has any
memory that is not pleasant.
Developed by Nature.
When the petals of the great
laurel magnolia are touched,
however lightly, the result is a
brown spot, which develops in a
few hours. The fact is taken ad
vantage of by the South Ameri
can lover, who pulls a magnolia
tlower, and on one of its pure
white petals writes a motto or
message with a sharp-pointed pen
cil. Then he sends the flower, the
young lady puts it in a vase of wa
ter, and in three or four hours the
message written on the leaf be
comes perfectly visible, and re
mains so.
