When he fell, his cloak caught on a
spike on the schooner's side, and thus

have been found by Darkle, and have
been used by him IN vain to keep him
self from freezing to death.
The berg on which Bolton had fallen
drifted to land before the gale came up

pitiable plight, made his way towards a

Trade in Cat-Tails.

1t may not be generally known that
trade in cat o'-nine-tails, or catkins, or
whatsoever they may be rightly called,
is of some importance and magnitude.
Whoever disc covered and made known
the fact that TIE proper place for the
swamp-nurtured catkin was the parlor
and drawing room has not left his name
behind, but certain it is that in the year
1879, and moro particularly in the year
1880, catkirs began to be included in
the house-furnishing of ornamental
things. At the present time the de-
mand is large and increasing, and a
useless weed has become an article of
commerce. The catkins are used with
pampas grass, sea-oats and native
grasses to make up the contents of
vases which ornament mantels and
room corners. This has become the
rage, as it is called, and many a room
is undergone the process of catkin and
grass adornment. For the reception of
these grasses large and small vases are
used, according to location, and drain
pipe ornamented by home handiwork
is used for the same purpose, as well as
for umbrella-stands
