Dangers of the Sea.

The difference between handling a
ship so that she escapes danger and
IN way to plunge Ier headlong upon
it was doubly illustrated on a voyage by
the Algeria, from Liverpool to New
York. On her sixth day out the Algeria
found herself in a heavy fog on the
Banks of Newfoundland. The ship was
feeling her way cautiously along, all
eyes and ears, SO to say, when from
over the port bow there sounded n fog
bell. 1t seemed some distance off. But
the Captain, swift as light, ordered a
reversal of the engines. The screw
flew round, the great ship paused, slow
ly backed, and none zoo soon. In q
trice there loomed up through the fog
huge three-masted schooner, rushing
forward under full sail. Had the course
OF the Algeria been kept, had she failed
to retreat mt the moment she did, a col
hsion would have been inevitable. The
schooner flew on her way straight across
the foaming wake of the steamship, and
a terrible calamity that might have cost
hundreds of lives was happily averted.
Very nearly the same thing happened
again on the same evening, the danger
GUS craft that approached the Algeria
in this instance being another large
steamer. This time the stranger was
not seen through the dense mist, but
the voices of persons on her decks were
heard with startling distinctness, and
the escape was apparently as narrow as
in the case of the schooner. Eternal
vigilance is as clearly the price of safety
at sea as 1t is of liberty everywhere.

Pillows.

When jacob became n fugitive from
the anger of his brother Esal, he took
stones and laid them for pillow. In
some, nations Il sort of cricket, OF wood,
is regularly used for the same purpose.
The proper object of the pillow Is, not
10 raise the head above the level OF the
body. but to fill out the difference be-
tween the level OF the shoulders and that
OF the head when the body is on its side.
And this is the natural position, Tor 1T
is seldom safe to sleep on the back.
Hence, the pillow should be con-
structed Simply to furnish the needed
support for the head, with the body on
the side. 1t should not be too large,
( and yet be large enough. 1t should
! enable the head to retain its natural po-
sition, neither bent down toward the
pillow, nor raised upward out of line
with the recumbent body.
This position is more important than
some think. For all the blood of the
head must pass down through the large
veins of the neck, and. if these veins are
much bent, they impede the return of
the blood. 1t is, of course, specially
Objectionable to sleep on the back, with
the head OH thick pillow, since there is
no proper space for one, and the neck is
more bent and the flow of blood checked.
Further, pillows of feathers should
never be used, for the head sinks into
them and becomes und,Ay heated. The
old rule, "Keep the head cool and the
feet warm" is always good one. but il
is particularly necessary at night, nat
ure herself pointing in this direction,
since, by wonderful continuance, she
/ arrests the activity of the brain, and
renders sleep possible by greatly dimin.
ishing the flow of blood to the brain
Whatever heats the brain sends BLOOD
to it.
There is nothing equal to the hail
pillow, the year round. For common
use, in the country, thesoft inner leaves
of corn-husks make good pillows

The death of Mr.. Joseph Moorehouse,
which occurred at Elizabethport, N. j.,
on Monday night, from hydrophobia, is
said by the attending physicians, eight
in number, to be the most sudden on
record, the patient dying less than
twenty-four hours after the first attack.
Moorehouse, while playing with pet
mongrel dog on the Doth of May last,
was bitten in the wrist. The arm was
swollen for few days. DIR. Pickett, of
Elizabeth, cauterized the wound, and
Moorehouse thought no more of it.
After saving some wood last Friday he
said he felt pain in his arm, but as
cribed ii to rheumatism. On Satu-
day he told his sister that he felt
an itching sensation about the
wound. On Sunday morning he at
tended the Fulton street M. E. Church,
where he led the choir. When he came
home he said his shoulder panied him
and decided not to go to church in the
evening. He was bachelor and lived
with his two sisters in cottage on
Broadway. When the sisters returned
from church in the evening they found
him sitting in the kitchen. He wore a
dazed expression, and he could not
sleep. A young man volunteered to sit
up with him. Toward morning Moore
house became excited and called for wa
ter, but when water was brought to him
he pushed the glass away and COM
planned that he was choking. Early on
Monday morning Drs. Renau and Mack
were called in. Finding the man in
tensely excited, they injected morphine
and hastily called in Drs. Brown and
Pickett. After consultation four other
physicians were sent for, and on
joint consultation they agreed that
Moorehouse had hydrophobia. In the
meantime the man had become violent,
and morphine was injected sutfi-
cient in quantity, the physicians
said, to quiet twenty-five men, but
it was of no avail. Spasms
did not set i'll until toward night. Be
tween the spasms Moorehouse constant
ly called for water and tried to drink it,
with his eyes raised so that he could not
see the cup, but he did not succeed in
swallowing any. Once he escaped into
the street, and, upon being brought
back, sat down at the piano and played
hymn in wild manner. Then, run
ming to the organ, he played favorite
hymn of his, Nothing But the Blood
of Jesus Will Cleanse Me-" ending by
falling off the stool in violent fit.
This was at o'clock, and the physicians,
fearing the man would get beyond con-
troll. held him while chloroform was adj
ministered through the nostrils, and
then bound him to bed Several times
Il
not being able to hold him. He frothed
at the mouth and snapped his teeth, but
he did not initiate the barking or snarl-
ing of dog. A little after IL o'clock he
sank into a stupor, which was thought
to be caused by the powerful drugs.
Soon, however, it was seen that he was
dying Death occurred few moments
before midnight. -Ne,O York World.

A BOdie Snake Story.

George Finney, driver of the Virginia
and Bodie stage, says that snakes of
several species, including hoops and rat
Tiers, are getting to be SO plentiful along
the road at his end of the route that it is
dangerous to leave the coach, and it is n
great wonder he hasn't lost his team be-
fore this. In coming in the other day
he drove in lot of snakes that literally
covered the road for about 800 yards.
He couldn't turn out, so he sent the silk
into the horses and dashed through on a
dead run. How the team escaped injury
puzzled him. One big hoopsnake, about
ten feet long, that was lying in the centre
of the road, as soon as it heard the coach
coming, uncoiled itself just as the team
was passing over it and made vicious
strike with its spiked, bony tail at the
belly of the nighwheeler, but missed
him and struck the pole. The force Of
the blow was so great that the tail was
driven into the hard wood some three
inches. The snake, being unable to
withdraw it, was dragged along for about
100 yards until it was killed by one of
the wheelers stepping on it and breaking
off the spike. The venomous reptile
gave a frightful yel1, denoting pain
mingled with rage, as it expired, and
before reaching the next station the
wagon pole was swelled up as big as an
ordinary sawlog, while poison was drip

end like green sap from freshly-cut
salping.-BOdie Standard NeiCs.

to her lover, "of what do these au-

he promptly answered. And then she

BEN ZERcHER was an only son, and his
father owned one of the best farms in
Belmont county, w. Va. The old man
was past 80. During several years his
health had declined, and it was sup
posed that he would speedily die. Ben
was so confident of this that he began
to buy stock for the farm, and made
other preparations to take possession of
the property. But the octogenarian
suddenly recovered from his illness, and
took to counting a neighbours daughter.
This exasperated the impatient heir, and
he shot his father dead.
