What Boats Were Out Last Ntght-Pr' -
posed Race Among the Plate Printers.
On tho river yesterday evening the Ana
lostans had out two four-oared Shells the six
cared gig, and o number of pleasure boats,
The Potomacs were represented by the eight
and two four-oared shells, Appleton, Phillips.
and Smith in singles, the ten-oared barge,
and nine pleasure boats. The Columbias
sent out the eight and one four-oared shell,
Kirby in single, the ten and six-oared barges,
and twelve pleasure boats. From johnson &
Bakers fifteen pleasure boats were out.
A decided improvement in speed is already
noticeable in the Analostan four since Davis
has taken them in hand. He pulls bow-oar
in one of the crews nearly every evening.
In their practice work the Potomacs always
go down the river, frequently as far rs the
long bridge, while the Analostans and Column
bias do their practice up the river, and it is
very seldom that they vary from this,
A race, to come OFF shortly. is being ar
ranged between Joe NIallOy and C. j. Patton,
of the plate printers to be rowed in single
working boats, aud will be matter of con-
siderable interest in the bureau where each
one has host of friends and hackers, who are
confident of the ability of their man to win.

Their deed almost met its deserts. They
treated the log too roughly. hole was
made through the ice, and the current soon
did the rest 1t was even betting that they
would not get ashore. But they did This
was not fatal accident.
OF accidents, some very strange ones are re-
corded. One lady stopped for a cup of water,
lost her balance, and was out of reach and
over the falls almost before her amazed hus-
band knew what had happened. Another
lady stopped to pluck flower on the brink
of Table rock She was taken up dead from
the rocks below. rhyming, irreyerent
tourist on the same day recorded a bit of
elegac poetry which would have made him
a man Of mark in Philadelphia. He simply
wrote:
"At the early age of twenty-three
Was pitched into eternity"
In 1875 an accident equally sad and foolish
occurred. An engaged couple went behind
the falls, into the cave of the winds, without
a guide. The lady actually sought to bathe
in pool which even the guides never visited.
Her lover lost his life in trying to save hers.
Perhaps the most dramatic accident was the
following; A playful young man caught up u
charming child who was watching the
tumbling waves. "Now, Lizzie, am going
to throw you into the water" he said, and
swung her back and forth. She screamed
struggled, and slipped from his hands. He
gaIeu ulUCr ncr, realized what ne haQ done,
and leaped Rescue was hopeless. Perhaps he
did not deserve death, and at least Censure
may die with him.
Of escapes there are one or two narrow al
most beyond belief, and which involves
stories of skill and bravery we'll worth tell
ing. Not many years ago painter was at
work on Second Sisters island, when he fell
into the water. He was old and weak, and
while his position was not very dangerous at
first, he soon toated down and toward mid
stream, when, just as he seemed lowering on
the brink, and exactly forty feet from IL, if
contemporary records are TO be believed, he
caught on a rock, How long would his mus
cles endure the strain? And who would res
cue him, and how2 The crowd was helpless
until guide appeared with coil of rope.
One end no left in trusty hands and with the
! other he plunged into the boiling tide When
he reached the poor painter the old man still
held in his hand the putty knife with which
he had been working, He shifted the knife
TO his pocket, tied the painter to the rope,
and they reached the shore safely. In another
casea bOatman was crossing tho river above
tho falls, when a fog suddenly came
up He lost his bearings and
knew he was drifting to death.
His cries alarmed the village, and bells
were rung for him to row toward them, Then
an oar broke. His only hope then lay in a
paltry little anchor and q common rope,
which was moreover much worn. lilo exam
ined every foot nay, every inch of it, he
tugged at the knots ut each end. Time and

In fit of anger Fogg so far forgot him

Hot WATER'C CURE FOR SICRGN PLANTS
The Fl0yiM asks: Has any one tried hot
water as Il restorative for sickly plants and
then proceeds to say that NJ. Willcrmoz some
time since related that plants in pots may be
restored to health by means of not water; il,
health, he maintains, cnsucs from acid sui
stance in the soil which, being absorbed by
the roots, acts as poison. The small roots
withcr and cease to act, and the upper and
younger shoots consequently turn yellow, or
become spotted, indicative of their morbid
state. In such cases the usual remedy is TO
transplant into fresh soil, in clean pots with
good drainage, and this often with the best
results But his experience of several years
has proved the untailng efficacy of the sim.
pier treatment, which consists in watering
abundantly with hot water ut a temperature
of about 40 degrees Fab, having previous
" stirred the soil Of the pots SO far as may
be done without injury To the roots Water
IS then given until ii runs freely from the
pots. In lls experiments the water at first
came out clear afterwards il was sensible
tingcd with brown, and gave AN appreciable
acid reaction. After lhs thorough Washing,
the pots were kept wnrm and the plants very
soon made new roots, Immediately followed
by vigorous growth.

Grass is Wealth.

Grass is wealth. As lowly and humble ms
it appears, it comprises about one sixth of all
the vegetation of the world 1t nourishes
more animals than all other food combined,
and furnishes all the elements for the growth
of man. II is true man cannot, like the ccc-
bratcd lsraclitish king, feed as n beast of the
field, but he can and does appropriate this
food after it has been assimated to his re-
quirements by the ruminants Not only this,
but through its wonderful chemical and vital
properties it extracts from the great labora-
tory of nature--thc atmosphcrc--certain
gases and fluids hostile to mans respiratory
organs, thus purifying the air for his use, and
depositing these elements in the soil, thereby
enriching the earth Hence the adagc mo
grass, no cattle; no cattle no manure no
manure no grass" This explains it all Grass
enriches the land and fatlcns cattle cattle
feel men and make manure, manure emil
vens the soil and makes crops. There is
an eternal revolution in this. Nothing is lost
