That Iron Screw.

1t is not generally known that the
Pilgrims on board the Mayflower held
consultation in mid-ocean, and that the
finding of an iron screw among their
supplies caused the voyagers to keep
on their way toward America.
With one hundred and two precious
souls on board, the solitary vessel set
out on her perilous voyage from Ply
mouth, September 10th, and shortly
encountered heavy autumn gales. She
proved a staunch ship, or she would
surely have gone to the bottom when
the hurricanes swept down upon them
with torrents of rain. For days they
ran under bare poles, shipping heavy
seas. The seams of the upper works
opened. 1t was then that the consulta-
ton, upon which so much depended,
was held, and survey made to see II
the timbers would hold together.
One of the main beams was found to
be bowed and cracked There was a
large iron screw, fortunately, among
the dunnage in the hold, brought over
from Holland. By means of this they
succeeded in springing the beam back
into place, and half across, decided TO
make for the western shore. Mean
while, the passengers sought fresh air
| on deck at the risk of their lives.
In one storm, a young man ventured
out of the hatehway, and was thrown
overheard by lurch of the vessel. de
caught the end of the topsail halyards,
and ran them out for their whole
length, holding on under water TIL ne
was dragged to the surface and isheC
on board with a boat-hook. There
was one death at sea, and one child
Oceanus Hopkins-was born.
After sixty-four days of buffeungs
having made Cape Cod, and vainly en-
deavored to keen TO the southwark FOL
New York Bay, their original destina
ton, getting entangled in the shoals
and nearly shipwrecked, on the twenty
first of November Saturday they were
brought to anchor in Provincetowr

plan by which the Democrats can organize
 both branches of the Legislature. Tamma- ny Hall men say the leaders of the other branch of the Democratic party refuse to grant them such concessions in organization as they are entitled to. It is understood that Tammany asks for the clerk of the Senate and chairmanship of committees on cities and railroads. 1.-The latter position is requested as guarantee that these impor- tant committees shall not be controlled in the interests of monopolies. They also sug gest that it will be unwise to elect Senator Jacobs president pro tenn. of the Senate for the reason that he has always supported mo- nopolies as against the people. These de- mands are refused by the other wing of the party and the position of affairs tonight warrants the statement that the Tammany Democrats will not go into the caucus Calls have been issued for the Democratic Senatorial caucus at o'clock Monday, and the Assembly Democratic caucus for o'clock The calling of the Senate caucus for o'clock leads to the supposition that it will be test to see if the Tammany men will take part, and if not then the leaders will again endeavor to harmonize matters before the hour named for the Assembly caucus.

The Origin or Life Force.

Life force or vital energy has it's origin in food, and that food must possess that vital chemical character that will fit it to fully sus- tain and supply the different tissues of the body. The present prevailing diet supplies in abundance the muscle building clements required by tho manual laborer, but not be- yond one-third in quantity the nerve and brain building clements that those exposed to intense mental strain of business activity, to- gether with those engaged in intellectual pur- suits, so much need. To simply supply the desirable clements is not in itself enough; they must first be prepared for the blood as far as science is capable of doing it before it enters the stomach, by concentration and artificial digestion, so that the labor of the stomach is diminished to the greatest possi- ble degree. For we well know that not one in five of the adult population has sound and efficient stomach. The Blanchard Food Tonic for the nerves, and special foods for dyspeptics possess all the above desirable qualities, repairing the stomach and furnish ing the necessary nerve and brain building clements. They do not conflict with any medicine, are exceedingly palatsble and ap- plicable to all conditions One trial will con- vince the most incredulous of their great value. Write for free pamphlets.

ing house kept by William Abers, who is sew
 enty years of age. Abers had been awake all
 night, attending to the wants of his sick wife
 on the second floor and was not aroused until
 the flames had made considerable headway. He at once wrapped his wife in blanket, carried her through the flames to the open air and rushed back after his three children, two girls and a boy, aged eight, ten and twelve, who were upon one of the upper feors. The flames, however, had encircled that portion of the house and despite repeated attempts he was compelled to leave them to their fate, The rear room on the lower floor was occupied by Abers' son-in-law, John Hyneman, who suc- ceeded after several intellectual attempts Ill rescuing his wife and daughter. The three children were burned to crisp. Mrs. Abers will probably die of her burns and the shock. Hyneman, Abers and Ettie are all seriously burned The unfortunate people, who lost everything they possessed, were at once cared for by neighbors The fire originated in an over pressure of natural gas with which the house was lighted.

HECK ER'S PERFECT BAKING POWDER. A FAIR TEST.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courters
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-fiye thousand (75, ,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed- ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained higher percentage of gas (Which means it will make lighter bread aud bis- cuit) than either the " Royal'' OF the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The sascpIes anaIyzed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com missioners, and~were without the manufacturers label or name, and designated with number known only to the commissioners.
 Itwfll thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder s submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ically expressed in its favor is fully sustained.
