F^RJDAY   IN   HiST6RY. *,
An   Able   Argrament TVlilcli   Proves   That It Is Not ana Unlaoky Day,
Sailors, as a class,  are superstitious, and attach  much  importance to signs, and omena.   When rats desert a sinking! ship, Jack requires no further notice to pack  his chest.    In  many porta at the present   time, and io   this   port,  sailors would  leave a vessel if the  sailing day* was set for a Friday.    As a matter of fact,   history    records    the    following: Friday, August 1, 1492, Columbus sailed on his great voyage of discovery. Friday, October 12, 1492, he first discovered land. Friday, January 4, 1494, he sailed on his return  to  Spain, which   he  reached in safety, the happy result  which  led to the  settlement of  this vast   continent.

Friday,  March 5, 1496, Henry VUl,, of  England,   gave to John Cabot his commission, which led to   the   discovery   of   North   America. This is the first American state papei; in England,    Friday, September 7, 1465, Melendoz   founded  St.  Augustine,   the oldest town in the United States by more than forty years.

CURIOUS   SEIZURES.
Blucular   LiquorH That FaxH Throagb the New Tork Custom   flouae.
The custom house occasionally affords Interesting glimpses into the vast for- ei(?n life of the United States. Recently while calling upon a friend, who holds a responsible position in that circum¬ locutory institution, he showed me sam¬ ples of a large number of invoices of li(juors which had recently been im¬ ported. Every one would puzzle tho average man about town. One was a greenish-yellow fluid called slivovitach. It comes from Austria and the Ballian states, and is made from a small wild plum which grows in that district. It is fiery and to a Yanlcco palate very dis¬ agreeable, but is extremely popular with the Hungarians and Wallaks.
A suggestion of the Holy Land was given by samples of honey wine, pass- over bonoy wine and Jeresjilem plum brandy. Tho first and second wero sweet and odorous, but a trifle insipid. Jn composition they are like the mo- theglin and honey mead used in England during tho middle ages. The brandy was raw and almost vitriolic. The three stimulants are consumed by the Sloval^ and Polaks from Russia and the Greeks and Syrians from Asia Minor.
Specimens of pulque and mescal showed that Mexico has somo influence upon its sister republic. The former is B beer made from cactus, and tastes somewhat like that gaseous German hor ror, Weiss-bier. It is far stronger, however, and is said to produce the most Intense drunkenness known to erring man. The mescal is the distillate of pvrtque, and can bo described only by the word atrocious.
The Scandinavians show their love of the fatherland by unceasing importa¬ tions of Christiania beer, Swedish punch, and korn brandtvin. The beer is light, pleasant and wholesome; the punch is aromatic, savory, but so sweet as to be insipid: tho korn brandtvin is not corn brandy, as the name literally translated would imply, but a whisky made from rye, oats and barley. It is rich in fusel oil and consequently head- ftcbe.
From Russia every now and then comes vodka or wodky, an impure, reek¬ ing, strong alcohol; from Central Amer¬ ica some delicious cordials made out of uineapple, guava, and banana: from China not less than fifty stimulants, running from tea wine, rosebud wine, and almond beer to heavy millet whisky and rice brandy; from Turkey somo lio-uld for making sherbet, and from Brazil lavangina, or or^nge-peel gin^ Over 5 000 different kinds of stimulants are know, and recorded in the custom¬ house, of which 2,800 wero unknown to Americans  fifteen  years  ago. — W. 1.

SAVED BY A DREAM.
The    Life     of  a    Youns   Itfan    Preserved Throngh the Agency of a Vision.
In an old number of Blackwood's Mag¬ azine i»: a dream story which is vouched for as true. It was told by Lady Clerk, long well-known in Edinburg, It rep¬ resented her father as attending classes in tbat city about 1784, and living under the care of an uncle, Major Griffiths. The young man, who was accustomed to take rambles with companions, told his nncle and aunt one night that he waa going fishing from Lei'th early the nexfc morning. No objection being made they separated for the night. During her sleep Mrs. Griffiths screamed: "The boat is sinking; save, oh save them!" The Major awakened her and asked: "Were you uneasy about tho fishing party?'* "O, no," she said, "I had not once thought about them." She soon fell asleep again, but in about an hour she cried out in great fright: "I see the boat is going down." Her husband again awoke her, and sho said: "It has been owing to the other dream I had, for I feel no uneasiness about it." After somo conversation they both fell asleep, bu^ no rest could be obtained for her. Iii, the greatest apparent agony she again exclaimed: "They are gone—the boat is gone!" When the Maior awakened her she declared that Mr. Dacre (father o^ of Lady Clerk) must not go on the fish¬ ing trip, or be would surely be lost He was accordingly induced to stay at home;, but his companions who went out en¬ countered a squall and were drowned. Whether or not the dream was true, it is certain that on August 7, 1734, four men of a station in life corresponding to that of Dacre wero drowned in'the Frith of Forth while out fishing.—Chi¬ cago News, 	
A Paradise for Stationers. Five hundred thousand visiting cards have been engraved in Washington this season. One stationery firm ^as turned out 300,000 in the last two months and the money spent on pasteboard during a season amounts to tens of thousand of dollars. Tho most ordinary card costs a cent a piece after tho plate is made, and some of the dinner invitations sent out cost $10 a dozen. A prominent item on the expense account of a Washington Ibelle is her engraving and printing, and society ladios who give dinners spend at times hundreds of doUarsi upon the stationery for a feast. Mrs. Leland Stanford'lately paid $85 for fifty cards to be used as menus for one of her big dinners. The map of the United States was stamped in silrer on tho cards, and tho drawing ind engraving were ex¬ quisite. At tho dinner v.-hich Governor Breckenridge gave, the cards cost $1 apiece, and Mrs. Justice Blatchford not lone ago gave a luncheon, the cards for Which were carved by band at a cost of «,8 a dozen. Some of tbe cards are in raised silver and gold. They look as thoucrh the gold and silver had been melted and poured into letters on the cards, and cost 75 cents apiece.-Paper World, .-.—

Charlie Kussel, the "all weather" dis¬ ciple of AValton, was on hand with a big basketof Lake Chabot catfish and Billy Fields displa3'ed a decent string of rail as the result of an afternoon on the marshes. Others who had hunted the surrounding hills with success gazed com¬ placently at bulging bags of quail, while Musical Lou and his friend Ruby kept a watchful eye on a coal oil cm half full of small crayfish, which they had lured from San Leandro creek by means of a scoop net.
"We got about twice as much as you see there," sale Lou. "But we made a stop at old Gottschalk's, aud had a lot of them cooked."
"Well, a man that would tackle those things would eat scorpions," remarked Joe Dieves, in either real or assumed tones of disgust.
"Oh, he doesn't mind much what he eats. Tell them about that wildcat ban¬ quet, Lou," said Billy Fields.
"You see^jftuby and I were shooting quail two years ago on the coast range over there and the dogs started a ring- tailed lynx, and a big oue it was, too. I bowled it over at the first pop and before long we had it skinned. Ruby and I roast¬ ed the heart and liver and while enjoying it we made up our minds to take the wildcat across to the city and give some of our friends a treat

Boucicault's Extravagance.
From the New York WorlU.
Those who were personally iutimate wiih the late Dion Boucieault and knew something about his personal expendi¬ tures assert that he was perhaps one of the most extrava^ent men that ever lived. He had no regard whatever for money aud always lived up to his income, even when his income had reached the marvelous figure of $5,000 a week.
A story is told of his li.iving gone iuto a champagne house and asking for a cer¬ tain brand of ciiampagne. He was told that the brand in question was not im¬ ported for the American ra u-ket and if he wanted any it would hive to be brought over especially for him, and that they could uot bring over less thin 100 cases. The 100 cases of wine would cost some¬ thing like $3,000. But this calculation did not deter Mr, Boucic^iult iu the least. He ordered tlie wiue, an i four or five weeks subsequently the 10.) cases aggre¬ gating 1,200 bottles were d^^ilivered at his apirtinena s, wliieh vv^^re t'1^1 iu Flf teenth street near Fifth avenue.
No one ever knew hira to haggle over a price or even to ask what the price of an ariicle would ba when he left the order with the housekeeper. When he was living in New York here it was his habit to go to a manufacturer of fine fur¬ niture and order the most expensive articles and never know what they would cost him uutil the bill would come in. This sort of reckless expenditure began With bis success as a playwrigiit with ''L9^don   Assurance"    aud   co ntinuei
until four or five years ago, when his re ceipts fell off so considerably as to make the continuance of it impossible. As a youug man in London he is said to have been one of the most gorgeously dressed dandies of his time.
