all those We rescued, save what was trans
ferred to the 81 Francis, on our boat
within an hour after the Are broke ont.
At that time there was not 4 living soul
near the wreck. No q could live IN the
water long so intense was the cold, even
If they could keep their head above it,
and it would be impossible to remain on
the burning boat even half an our after
the cOndagratiOn commenced. In our
second trip we am across a bale Of cot-
ton with a man lying flat on it, his head
and shoulders hanging out forward, aud
he padding tor dear life with his hands
oward shore. There was another man
hanging on to it behind. We let them
pass for they appeared TO be in a condition
TO save themselves, as they were making
good time toward shore. When We
passed the wreck at twelve Sunday all
that was burning was large quantities Of
coal, which was piled up on her deck.
The second mate Of this boat, who was
out the third trip, say a man clinging TO
a spar that was set. He was called to to
Jump into the water and swim toward the
boat, but he told them he could rot
swim, and the boat could not approach by
reason Of the flames. He Is supposed to
have been half burned before he dropped
of, for he sunk ike a log There is no
absolute certainty about is, but IL is gem
orally thought that this man was the Cap
lain Ofthe McGilI.

Want or SLEEP Opium or morphine
is usually prescribed as a sOp0rihc. Both
are violent remedies, and react violently,
producing nausea, headache and P~rostra-
ton. They are often given when they
are not nseusd; and not unlrequentiy
they increase the irritation Of the brain
instead Of soothing, Probably in seventy
I'VE cases out Of q hundred in which they
are administered, Plantation Bitters given
in moderate doses and at proper intervals,
would have the desired effect. Persons
who find it difficult to compose their
minds % sleep after lying down at night,
or whose slumbers are disturbed by bad
dreams. or are too brief to afford due
nOurishment, are advised to try the
Plantation Bitters as an anOdyne; for this
comprehensive medicine is not only 8
tonic and Alternative, but a delightful soda
tive-a 4" balm Of hurt minds " as well as
a reviviher OF enfeebled frames. It's 1se,
as q means Of producing heslthful sleep,
involves none Of the unpleasant seconda-
~ consequences Of a resort to the former
narcotics. They all, without exception,
excite the stomach; while the effect Of the
Bittsrs is TO tone, and without irritating
that sensitive organ.

FLooDs IN THE PASTA native Cal
ifornian Of evident intelligence sends
the following to the Bulletin for publ
cation, which our readers may take
for what 1t Is worth:
A flood occurred In the year 1872,
when the water covered the low lands
entirely, and rose to a greater height
than ever known before. Had the
country been settled, as now, the dis
aster would have been very great.
The noxt memorable flood occurred in
1882, the water not reaching tho ex-
treme height Of ten years before, still
covering the low lands to a great ex-
tent. In 1912 there occurred another
great flood, not unlike that Of 80.
The pioneer settlers Of California re-
member the flood Of 1852, and 1t Is not
necessary to dwell upon the partlcu-
lars. The last great flood occurred In
the Winter Of 1852. Sacramento was
submerged ; dams. mills and manufac-
tories were carried away on the prin-
cipal streams. Roads were destroyed,
bridges disappeared, and the destruc-
ton Of property was very great. The
Winter Of 1872 Ia supposed to complete
the cycle again, promising that = flood
will occur every ten years.

long beard, flowing down upon his
breast, was recently at work upon a
small lathe, revolving rapidly. He
said he "felt something tickle his
beard," and looking down, saw some
Of the longest hairs touching the lathe.
Quick as a flash, before he had time to
think Of his danger, the longest hairs
Of his beard caught In the lathe and
wound him up; the next he knew, the
lathe was nearly turning out the inside
Of his nose, cutting out the cartilage
that separates the nostrils; then, with
q mighty effort, he Strengthened up,
saving himself from further operations
on the lathe by pulling out a handful
Of beard q foot long and as large as his
wrl3t-which will be handy for his
wife to use as a 'tswitch." His inju-
rles are painful, but not dangerous.
