STATEMENT OF A PASSENGER.

Mr.. +. N. Ripley, of Lowell, Mass, a very
intelligent young man, who was one Of tho
saved, gives the following additional particu-
lars 1.-The sea became 40 rough a little after
midnight that | could not sleep, though ac-
customcd to the water. Before daylight the
boat rolled 70 desperately that every movable
thing was smashing about the vessel, and il
was impossible TO cross the cabin. 1t war be-
tween 7 and 8 o'clock when We came in sight
of the harbor, and it was 80 rough that it
seemed unwise TO attempt an entrance. We
could SEQ the light houses and vessels on the
beach. and wondered that no one came to our
relief.
1t was a rad sight. Tho passengers stood
in silence, with their life-proscryers on, know
ing that in a few moments they would all be
at the mercy of the breakers. But all were
calm and self-possessed. Capt. Swectman be-
hayed with the utmost GOODNESS and courage,
and the crew cbeyed every order readily. We
were all washed out of the boat in which !
was placed, when within thirty rods of the
shore, but we're rescued by those on the beach
in 4 most gallant way. l was picked up un-
conscious, but am all right now. The Cap

fingers and the men at work on the new
Westinghouse knock off to look at him
and laugh. He feels ridiculous, but he
must catch the train. He gets desperate
when he has to slacken up until two OF
three women, who are on the sidewalk
discussing the servant-girl question and
the price Of butter scatter to let him pass:
He arrives within one hundred yards OF
the depot, with buster flying in the wind,
coat-taiis horizontal and the yellow dog
nipping at his heels, just as the tram De
gins to move He puts on extra pressure
and resolves 10 make that tram OF perish.
He reaches it as the last car is going past;
He seizes the hand-rail, is violently Jerked
around once or twice, but finally lands on
the step on his knees and is hauled in by
the coat collar by the brakeman, hot,
mad, dusty, with his trousers torn across
the knees, shins bruised, and three ribs OF
his umbrella broken Just as he gets COM
fortablv into the car, the train stops, backs
I'D on the siding and lays there for half
an hour while the engineer fixes broken
valve. Then he is madden than ever, and
determines that he will move in town to-
morrow. while he looks out of the window
and watches the dogs that followed him
engaged in contest over bone which
the yellow dog found on the platform OF
the station; and he registers silent VOW
to devote his first holiday to hunting up
that dog and Draining him with club.

Finding a BOotjack.

A HoUsEKEEPER writes the following
plant to the Cleveland Leader:
When the average husband of the period
wants to find a bootjack he steps to the
buttery door, and leaning against the
doorway with his hands in his pockets,
whistles meditatively as his eyes wander
along the upper shelves. When break
in the tune occurs, you may know he has
found the cake, which he devours absently,
still looking for the bootjack. Being now
deprived of that aid to reflectiOn-whist-
ling, he executes waltz in slow move
ment, sustained by large piece OF cake
in one hand, stable pickle in the other.
After a while, as the bootack does not
make its appearance the husband does, at
the door of the room, where you are get
ting the baby to sleep, and shouts Jane, y
at the top Of his voice, under the impress
sion that you are up stairs, an impression
speedily removed. To cover the confu.
sion Of his retreat, he steps on the dogs
tail and bumps the bird-cage with his
head, then wants to know what you have
done with that boOtjack, and why 1T is
that YOU never keep things in their place.
If YOU are wise, and simply and calmly
point, like Columbia, to the object in ques-
ton hanging on its accustomed nail, he
seizes upon it wrathfully, with the solemn
VOW that it was not there when he went
through the room before.
The offending boots are finally left in
the doorway where tits convenient to trip
over them, and serenity transpires, unless
you have occasion to go around them,
when you will at once see their value as a
natural means of obstructing passage
way. 1t is estimated that one pair OF
boots iudiciously disposed about an apart
ment of medium size, will prevent either
a well disposed person or professional
burglar from quietly making his way
about it.
At tea time the average husband does
not care about any cake; it isn't much
like that his mother used to make.

Catching the Early Train.

MAX ADELER, writing in the SATURDAY
Euening Post, says:
One of the greatest delights Of board
ing in the country for the summer is the
pleasure man derives from his efforts to
catch the early morning train by which he
must reach the city and his business.
When he gets out of bed he looks at his
watch and finds that he has plenty of
time, so he dresses leisurely, and sits down
to breakfast in calm and serene state of
mind. Just as he cracks his first egg, he
hears the up train. He starts, jerks out
his watch, compares it with the clock,
and finds that it is eleven minutes slow,
and that he has only four minutes left in
which to get to the depot. In fearful
hurry he tries to scoop the egg out of the
shell, but it burns his fingers, the skin is
tough, and after fooling with il moment
il mashes into hopeless mess, and he
gets his fingers smeared; he drops the
whole concern in disgust, grabs a roll,
scalds his tongue with quick mouthful
of coffee; then he stuffs tie roll in his
mouth. while his wife hands him his
satchel and tells him she thinks she hears
the whistle. He plunges madly round the
room looking for his umbrella; then kiss

says good-by to the children in a lump,
and makes dash for the door. just as
he gets to the gate he finds that he has
forgotten his buster, and he charges back
after 1t, snatches ittp, and tears down the
gravel walk in frenzy. He doesn't like
TO run through the village, because that
would look undignifed, but he walks flu
riously. He goes faster and faster. Half.
way down he does hear the whistle for
certain. He wants to run, but he knows
that he will start up that yellow dog there
by the sidewalk If he does. Then he &C.
tually sees the train coming in
at the depot, and he feels
that he must make rush. He
does. The yellow dog becomes excited
and tears after him. Six other dogs Join
in the chase, and bark furiously, and ffolic
around his legs. Small boys contribute
to the excitement by whistling on their

How DO They Find the Way!

Two WEEKS ago an account was given
of dog that had been carried seven hun
dred miles somewhere at the West, but
not liking the place, alone, guided by a
faculty quite unknown to man, he footed
his way to his old loved home without
making inquiries, consulting guide
board, or travelling out of the way, at
the rate of nearly a hundred miles each
day.
An old horse purchased of a farmer in
Vermont many years since, was shipped
at SeabrOOk, Conn, with others, to the
West Indies, for grinding cane. A storm
occurring in Long Island Sound, the deck
horses were washed overheard and sup
posed to have been lost. The old Vermont
err however, reached land in the darkness
of a stormy night, and finally was found
standing at the barn-door of his old home.
The horse had never been far from
the town till sold, therefore could
not have been familiar with the way.
Carrier pigeons perform feats as swift
messengers through the air, because they
are in hurry to reach home. However
far they may be carried confined in
baskets, they invariably speed their way
without ever resting on the voyage till
they reach the place dear to their affec-
TONS In 1919, with view to ascertain
their speed, pigeon was carried from
Antwerp to London, and there liberated.
The bird was at its cote, having flown
one hundred and eighty miles, in a
straight line, in just six hours.
Horses, mules, dogs, cats, and all the
migrating birds, find their way as un-
erringly as the carrier pigeon does; but
how they do it is beyond our ken. Some
imagine birds see telescopically one or
two hundred miles when high in the air,
and over the tops of mountains. But
the theory throws no light upon the
movements of mule that found his home
in Brazil, hundreds of miles over a region
where man could hardly move, having
neither path to follow nor companion
to lead the way. Science, therefore, has
something more to do to clear up this
mystery
A writer i'm the Quarterly Reriew ad-
vances the theory that "they have a
certain sense of the magnetic currents,
sufficing to afford them sort Of internal
in which they travel. We know that the
magnetic currents affect the needle and
the hypothesis that they may also affect
living frames with special organizations
seems in no way incredible; while the
fact that dog who can find his own
way for hundred miles in the open
country, may lose it in five hundred
yards in a town, seems to point to the
multitude of streets turning at right
angles as the cause Of confusion to a
sense which simply indicates straight
direction."-N. Y. Commercial Adrertiser.

the letter was characterized In special
manner by obsccnity and blasphcmy. Mrs.
Walworth then testified that, after reading this
letter, Frank fell into 1T, which lasted for an
