Among the Shakers.

| In certain sections of the country
there are religious sects known as
Shakers; but for the present we will not
speak of them. The ''shak ers" to whom
we refer are those who suffer from
swamp fever which necessarily entails
Rheumatic troubles and Neuralgia. To
these unfortunate ones, therefore, we
recommend Salicylica as panacea for
their ailments. Try it and be convinced
of its curative powers.
Ladies who are troubled with cramps
and nervousness should drink Damiana
Bitters. 1t is pleasant to take.

SHOWS on with the oars, and checking her
stern-way to meet each combing breaker.
1t was magnificent to see her 90 down out
of sight in the hollow of the sea, then come
reeling up the steep ascent of green, pitch
headlong through the foaming crest which
burst over her and entirely concealed for
moment the six oil-lackets and south-wes-
ters, and then with triumphant effort free
herself and dash down into the trough
again. The gale was fierce enough to drift
her down to us at rapid rate, and as we
watched we were amazed that she was not
swamped and capsized as each heavy sea
broke over her, until at last she drove by
close to our quarter. They caught the
line we hove them and rode astern clear of
the swash of the wallowing wreck
Hastily diving below, l screwed down
the water-tight lid Of the chronomter case,
and placed it, together with the sextants
and the log-book, in an empty clothes-bag.
While doing this, the water was swashing
around some six inches deep over the cabin
floor. The carpet was torn off, and in sew
eral places the planks were started, letting
the compressed air in the hold rush up with
hiss that was smothered into ludicrous
sputter as the water ran over the openings.
Cur raseners had certainly not come any
too soon, for the hulk would not float an
hour longer Returning on deck, bent
small line to the beckett of the clothes
bag, and dropped it astern into the boat
The wounded men, who had been up to
this time lashed securely in the rigging,
were slung by ropes end from the tip of
the spanker-boom, and, watching for COM
paratively smooth spell, the boat was hauled
up and we lowered them intoit Then we
tied bowlines around our waists, and, jump
ing one at time from the taffrail, struck
out for the boat, and were hauled in over
its stern. Meanwhile the ship, after work
ing slowl y across our bows, had worn short
round and, squaring her yards, sped by us
like an arrow, and now lay rolling about,
hove-to again to leeward, waiting for us to
drift down to her.
The boat was what had never seen be-
fore on board merchant ship-an iron
self-bailing life-boat, of the whale-boat
model; and most gallantly she behaved,
overloaded as she was, in that awful sea,
which no ordinary ships boat could have
weathered for five minutes You may
imagine what difficult matter it was to
get aboard the ship and hoist in the boat.
After about half an hour of hard work, we
were on the deck of the good ship Iceberg,
Captain Blaney, who received us with a
hearty welcome, declining with gruff good
nature our protestations of gratitude and
our admiration for the skillful seamanship
that had carried his vessel and whale-boat
safely through such dangerous maneuvers.
As | turned to go below, a cry from the
men caused me to look to windward, and
| saw the Wasatch throw up her stern and
90 down headforemost like sounding
whale. Our rescuers gave us what we
then most wanted, substantial meal, and
generously supplied us with clothing until
we reached Java Head, where, at our re-
quest, we were put ashore.

| knew that there was large feet of
vessels bound down from Manila, lloila
and Cebu, and momentarily expected to
sight some of them, but SO far had been
disappointed.
On the seventh day my observation
showed that we had made barely ninety
miles in all in the direction of the Sooloos.
That day we all knew, by the actions of
the barometer and the unmistakable ap-
pearance of the sky, that the scourge Of
the China seas, typhoon, would be upon
us in less than twenty hours. We were
several degrees south of the probable path
of its vortex, but still far enough within
its influence to make it extremely probable
that our shaky hulk would founder in its
first stages; or if we did manage to keep
afoat, we could hardly hope to escape being
driven upon some of the reefs or iron-bound
coasts surrounding the Sooloo Sea.
