oIIISG TIE WAVES.


William j. Card, captain of the coasting
schooner Turhan, reports some interesting
particulars of his use of oil TO break the
force of waves on voyage from North Car
olna 70 Nova Scotia. in September last.
The schooner was of l63 tons registered,
with cargo of 800 tons railroad iron,
which loaded her down until her gunwales
were not more than two feet above water.
On the third day out the weather became
beisterous, and on the following morning,
soon after daybreak, the vessel ran into a
gale. The wind was varying about from
southeast to northeast, and blew up
heavy sea, the fury of which was increased
by cross sea, caused by the hurricane
that had prevailed for some days to the
southwark of the vessels position. The
schooner, by reason of her deep loading,
was completely at the mercy of the seas,
which broke over her with terrible force.
Soon after noon Captain Card stationed
a man in the bow of the schooner-it
being unsafe to venture on the jib-boom,
which was in danger of being
carried away by the seas-and directed
him to throw over from a small oil can a
little oil at the approach of every com
ber." The oil was poured out through the
spout OF the can, and the captain estl.
mates the quantity thrown over each
time at rather less than an ordinary
tumberful As the supply on board was
limited it was thrown out only at the ap-
proach of very heavy sess. At first Pc
troleum- burning oil waSSused. and while
this had some effect, i. was not heavy
enough to thoroughly break the wave, and
lJnseed oil-some ten gallons Of which had
been laid in for painting purpOses-was
then employed. The result was in every
way satisfactory, and the use of the oil
was continued for about fifteen hours, by
which time the supply was exhausted. The
The fury of the gale had, however, SUBJ
sided, and the schooner reached port in
safety. Captain Card says that without
the use of the oil the vessel could not have
lived out the gale-the effect OF the oil
having been to level the comb of the wave
and prevent its breaking over the vessel

ADVERTISING.
The Newspaper the Best Salesman.

Mr.. E. Duncan Sniffen, Park Row, New
York, the well-known advertising agent, makes
the following truthful remarks in the New
York Tribune, Oct. 4, regarding newspaper sd-
yertising:
"The newspaper is SO comprehensive in its
scope, so universal in administering to the
wants of all classes and of every occupation
in life,-it brings, as it were, the financial and
commercial markets of the world to our count
ing rOoms,-that it may be truly said that a
good advertisement in widely circulated
newspaper is the best of all possible salesmen-
one who never sleeps and is never weary; who
goes after business early and late who accosts
the merchant in his store, the lawyer in his
Office, the student in his study, the cultivated
woman at the family fireside; who can be in q
thousand places at once and address million
of people each day, saying only the best thing
at the right time and in the best manner.
Now. this typical salesman talks only about
his own business in his own interest, and if in
crowd, he must, in order to secure hearing,
be more conspicuous than his competitors, and
at all times he must be attractive as possible.
The work involves intelligence, a good deal of
ingenuity, and original and ready resource to
make the stale matter of yesterday fresh and
inviting to-day. This is the kind of newspaper
advertising that it pays to do and that we
undertake to do" Advertisers should send for

Goodbye. my dear Charles You will under
stand me, If the others do not. We have often
talked OF life together; you know my thoughts,
insanity, you know it is the deed of a sane hope
less man. Adieu! ERNEST.
Charles read the letter with mingled feel
ings. He did not, however, remain long with
out taking action. The paragraph in the paper
stated that an innocent man had been charged
with the murder of the unhappy suicide.
Charles knew little of English law, and for a
moment feared that perhaps justice had over
taken her victim already. He ran to the tele-
graph office and even wrote out a telegram be-
fore he recognized that he did not know where
to send it.
Sooner than not dispatch it, he addressed it
to the Chief of Police, promising to come to
England to explain. 1t happened that he
never glanced at the advertisement column of
the paper, SO that Mr.. Fuller's appeal escaped
his notice.
Thus it was that the first intimation that
Seymour received of the possibility of proving
his innocence was the entrance of Mr.. Fuller
with Ernest's letter to Charles in his hand.
The identity of the dead man with Ernest
was easily established; the proof of Seymour's
innocence was made abundantly clear Before
Charles returned to France he saw Seymour
set at liberty.
One duty he had to perform before he left
England, and that was to erect memorial
stone to his friend. Far from home and friends
rested the remains of an unhappy man, whose
very generosity to others seemed fated to bring
them misery instead Of happiness.-AHtheY Year
