Heroism in LiIe-Saying Service

Instances of heroism are not want-
ing in tie history Of the lifc-saving
service. The records are full IF !han.
On the evening of the tirat Of as;
March, the italian bark Nlova Otte-
via was wrecked on the North Caro-
lima coast. The men in the station
saw her at sunset under sa /, and abJr.
FIVE miles from the shore. Tue
weather was cloudy and tLe wind
from the southeast The sea was
rough and the surf high, heavy and
winding. Soon after dark thu b,rk
stranded ca the reef, with Ler head
to the northwest before the wind,
about 400 yards from the st:.tipn.
Her running ashore was q mystery.
1t was evidently not from stress of
weather, as several Of her sails w~re
left stauling, and were still so the
next day when her masts went over
her sides TIE patrol hurried to the
station and reported her ashore. She
was rapidly breaking up, and might
be entirely gone before the life-o..r
apparatus could be rugged. Tie men
did not hesitate moment, but in
stantly determined to put of in the
life boat to rescue her crew, if pos
slble, before she went to pieces. Il
their haste they did rot even Wait to
buckle on the cork jackets. Tie
boat WAS successfully launched
through the heavy surf, and the YES
sci Was reached. A whip-line was
made fast just forward of the main
mast. Ten minutes after tie boat
left the shore a shrek was heard.
Half an hour afterward four oars
drifted ashore, and in a short me
the boat itself came, bottom up.
The brave seven men who put on' 10
rescue the perishing crew were .ll
drowned. Several of their bodies
drifted ashore next morning, but the
rest We're never seen Several of the
crew of the bark drifted ashore, were
taken care Of under DR.. Sawtell's
resuscitating process and their lives
We're saved. Some Of them remained
unconscious for more than eight hours,
but eventually recovered. The Itg!-
ian government afterward gave $40s
to the families of the lost crew-97S
to the family of the keeper and T55
to that Of each of the others.

O my child-love, my love of long age,
How great was life VIXEN you and were
young
The world was bound-s-, ior We lid no.
know;
And life poem, for we had not sung.
Now 3 the world grown small, and we

Fill with wise toll and woe each flying

Elves from the wood, dreams from NJ

And Heaven is bare, for God is far away.
O my child love- cannot you come again,
And look on you with grave, innocc:.t

Your God has many angels; l would fain
Woo for one hour one angel from the

And, laughing, lead me from the care

And lovingly, to let the whole world in.

Ancestry Of The Pen.

The earliest mode of writing was
on bricks, tiles, oyster shells, stones,
ivory, bark and leaves of trees; and
from tie latter the term leaves Of a
book is probably derived. Copper
and brass plates were very early IN
use; and a bill of ioefinent on copper
was some years since discovered in
India, bearing date one hundred
years B. G.
Leather was also use, as well as
wooden tablets, Then the papyrus
came into vogue, and about the 6Ih
century the rapyrns was SUI erseded
by parchment. Paper, however, is of
great antiquity, especially among the
Chinese; but the first paper mill in
England was built in 1886 by Ger
man, at hartford, in Kent. Never
tneless, it as nearly a century and a
halt-namely, in l7l3-before Thos.
Watkins, stationer, brought paper
making to anything like perfection.
The first approachto a pen was the
stylus a kind of iron hodkin; but the
Romans farbade its use on account Of
its frequent and even fatal use in
quarreis, and then it WAS made Of
bone. Subsequently, reeds pointed
and split, like pens Of the present
day, We're used.

MRS. STEWARDS CHARITIES
Declined by the Hebrew Benevolent
Institutions.
NationaF Associated Press to the staI

NationNI Associated Press to the StaE
NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-Mrs. A. T. Stewards
Christmas gifts to the Hebrew institutions
have been spurned by the trustees. The
Herald says: Mrs Stewards venerable age,
her unostentatious virtues and the great
affliction to which she has been 80 rudely
subjected by the recent instance of unfeel-
ing barbarity, should have protected her
from any new wounds at this time, and
especially from an act of charity being
turned into a source of bitterness. The
resentment however just against her busi-
ness agent is not sufficient excuse for the
thrust at this venerable lady through the
sides of Hilton.
The gift was not to the managers but to
the poor sufferers under their charge, and
if Mrs Stewart had divided it into small
sums and offered it to individual sufferers
it would have seemed stranga proceeding
for anybody to have stepped between her
and the benefciaries and intercepted her
charity.
The Star says: 1t seems to US the refusal
OF the Directors will not commend itself to
the good judgment of the community.
Judge Hilton excuses himself to report
ers. His secretary says the Hebrews con-
strue Mrs. Stewards we'll meant gifts into
insults. and act as if it were crime for a
Christian to send charity to Jew at
Christmas time. Other denominations in
Guiding eighty societies, which were offered
gifts found no fault. The list was made
out with as little of sectarian feeling and
with such broad charity that a donation
was sent to Mohammedan charitable in
stitution in Turkey, because it is deserv-
ing institution and needed help.
