4 Host Remarkable Escape From
Death.

A SHIP some time ago arrived at Bristol,
after successful Pacific whaling voyage
Time was when thousands of vessels
tracked the great sea monsters in search
Of oil, but the discoveries of the mineral
article have made the trade no longer re-
munerative, or, at least, much less an OBJ
Ject of pursuit The ship referred to
was the West Wind, commanded by
Capt. Parker, who met with a most peril
Gus adventure during his cruise, and
which came very near costing him his
life. Under the most favorable circum-
stances the occupation of the whaler is
one of great danger and physical trial.
and very few ships ever return to port
without losing one or more hands by the
ordinary exigencies of the service.
1t seems that Capt. Parker was out
from his ship with boats crew chasip q
q whale, and, having fastened his har-
poon in the creature, it Owed, as
usual, and the line, coiled in the bows
Of the boat, began to run out with
lightning speed as the monster sank to
the extreme depth of the ocean At this
critical juncture Capt. Parker went to
the forward part of the boat to be sure
that there was no twist in the rope To
prevent its working clear. The line was
running out with such rapidity as to
cause smoke to arise from the woodwork
OF the boat, and the Captain threw water,
as IS the custom, upon the spot BY
some unlucky lurch of the boat he was
canted from his position, and he natu-
rally threw out his left hand to prevent
himself from falling but, in doing so, he
unfortunately placed it SO that the rope
coiled about his wrist, and he was over
board and out of sight in an instant
He was perfectly conscious while he
was rushing down head foremost, and
with an incredible swiftness, and it ap-
pcared 10 him that his arm would be
torn from the socket so great was the
resistance of the water. During these
awful moments he was well aware of his
perilous situation, and that his only
chance for life was to cut the line But
how could he do this? He could not
move his right arm from his side, to
which it was so closely pressed by the
force of the element through which he
was being drawn The pressure on his
brain grew more and more terrible and a

A Prisoners Notebook.

A CURIOUS document, of especial in
terest to the students of psychology, is a
notebook containing the last thoughts
and reflections of Moreau, the herbalist,
who was recently guillotined for poison
ing bis two wives. Subjoined are few
extracts:
"Sept. IL have no more hope, but

are taken, adds: "Three days later the

Wintering Farm Horses.

l have noticed for some years that farm
horses have had hard time during the
winter months, not because of work but
of the want of care. Farm horses wear
out as fast if not faster than horses that
work during the year. Now there is a
cause for all this. In the first place
horses that have been in the open air and
sunshine should have these hygienic in
f1uences all of the time, and horses that
have been in active exercise should still
be allowed ample room and opportunity
for what exercise nature requires. Then
again horses that have been fed high
should by all means have enough feed to
SO recruit them that they will look sleek
and have fat enough to keep them warm.
Therefore when horses have accom-
plished the work of the season and are to
rest for some weeks or months to come
the first thing to be done is to have the
shoes taken off, then give them their reg
uiar feed for a few days at least, that is,
till they look fresh and their eyes look
bright, and they show signs of good rich
blood in their veins; then drop the noon
feed of grain and go on for a time with
two feeds per day, and then leave off the
morning feed OF grain, and finally drop
the feed OF grain at night; still l would
never let a horse stand and paw or ask
for food at night, for it is a loss rather
than gam 10 Try ana CHEAT noIsc out
of his honest living.
As the noon feed is withdrawn give
some green food, say potatoes, carrots
or turnips but would limit the roots to
fourth or half peck for Il few days,
then give once, twice or thrice week as
the case may be. By all means give
plenty of hay and good, fresh, pure
water, with salt as they may require.
Now as to exercise, after the horse has
eaten his morning meal turn him loose
in good, large yard and let him remain
till noon; after the noon feed turn him
out again until night, then put him up
and feed for the night; of course stormy
days should keep him in the stable. If
horses are kept at work part of the time
keep the shoes on and feed according to
the work, but by all means give the yard
exercise whenever he is let up from
work.-.Hdssachuse PLonghman.

WE understand that the whooping cough
is quite prevalent in the towns around us
but that no cases have proved fatal. Some
families use nothing but Johnson's Inody'e
Li,.in,ent. Our Doctor however, says a little

vantage.

The bulls of ancient Roman galleys

The hulls of ancient Roman galleys
have often been found in excavations on
the coasts of Italy and France and the
oak always remained as sound as that of
last years wreck. The roof-timbers
and oak carvings of the interiors of the
oldest churches of Europe have seldom
been renewed, and many examples are
found to indicate that even the softer

dampness are almost imperishable.-

Where Your Perfume Comes From

Our fair readers may be interested to
learn where, for the most part, the flowers
grow, the sweet perfumes of which are
found in those pretty flacons en- their
dressing tables. The chief places of
their growth are the south OF France and
Piedmont, namely: Montpelier, Grasse,
Mines, Cannes and Nice; these two last
especially are the paradise of violets,
and furnish yearly product of about
$4,000 pounds of violet blossoms Nice
produces a harvest of 100000 pounds of
orange blossoms, and Cannes as much
again and of II finer color; 500 pounds of
orange blossoms yield about two pounds
of pure Neroli oil. At Cannes the acacia
thrives well, and produces yearly about
5000 pounds of acacia blossoms One
great perfumery distillery ut Cannes uses
yearly 14O,O pounds of orange BIOS

ethereal oils, the small quantities of
which are mixed in the flowers with such
large quantities of other vegetable juices
that it requires about 600 pounds of rose
leaves to win one ounce of otto of roses

most active, although not always the
most careful, preparers of perfume; half

ries the solution throughout the length
of the pole, and thoroughly impregnates
every pore in the most natural and sim
pie manner, greatly increasing TIE dura-
bility of the wood.
1t is well known that salt has great
preservative influence upon wood. The
watts and supports of salt factories have
never to be renewed; but at some of the
salt mills and mines of rock salt in
Europe the wooden timber and structures
remain to-day In as sound Il condition as
when they were built, centuries ago.
The water from peat-bogs has similar
effect upon wood, and a patent has been
recently taken out in England for
injecting it into the fiber by an improved
process. Strange to say, its influence
upon iron is destructive in IA high degree
and in a recent number OF EHgtneerisg
we find the following statement: "It is
well-known fact that boilers fed with
water from peat-bogs (Which is nearly
pure) do not last over half their days,
and. l know that some years ago (and
perhaps stilD it was a common practice
for the locomotives running in the Shelf
field district (using the water from the
Yorkshire moors) to carry quantity of
carbonate of lime in their TANKS 10 pre-
vent corrosiOn of their boiler plates"
The ancients had processes for pre-
serving wood and other materials which
have not been handed down to us. Egyp-
tian mummy boxes have borne the test
of thousands of years and remain to- day
unimpaired and apparently imperishablc.
But even without the aid of chemical
preservation wood which has been prop
eTly dried and subjected to only ordinary
exposure should survive for centuries
There is in New York table whose his
tory can be distinctly traced back for
three centuries since it became table
and before that it is said to have served
for two centuries as an altar-piece in II
church. Its top is all one piece of oak,
forty-three inches wide, indicating that
the tree from which it was taken must
have been at least 500 years old when it
was felled.
