MANHATTAN BEACH, L. l., Oct. f7.-Every-
thing is very quiet to-day, with no signs Of
landing the cable. Electrician Graham,
from siemens Bros. and General superin-
tendent Word, Of the Cable Company. are the
only representatives here. Last night about
eight O'Clock everything was completed on
the Faraday for starting the RATS with the
cable to shore. Two miles OF cable were
coiled upon the RATS with the shore snd In
boats. The tug J. H.. Stranahan started to-
wards the shore towing the boats and RATS.
All went well until about II O'Clock, when
within quarter of mile OF the shore both
boats capsized. The cable and the crews
with officer Dutton were thrown into the
ocean. Fortunately the surf was not high
and all the men were rescued with ropes
thrown from the tug. The boats drifted and
were found this morning at Rockaway Inlet,
several miles away. About a quarter Of q
mile of the cable went overheard. The tug
grappled several hours but failed to recover
Il and finally towed the RATS back to the
Faraday. During the night the Faradsy
changed anchorage, steaming mile further
out. A landing may be had this afternoon
but the general impression Is that II will not
be made until early tomorrow

Up the Nile.

When you first go on board your
dahabieh, the sailors assemble on the
deck to welcome you, and perhaps one
or two who have sailed with you before
step forward to shake your hand. They
are of all compilations, some very
pale. some of a rich and beautiful
brown, almost copper color. When
yCr have been far within the tropics
and have braved hot wind or two
amid the glaring sands of Nubia and
the shining rocks of the Cataract, your
sailors have assumed different tint.
The pale men have become brown, the
brown meu black. Most of these sailors
come from certain tribes long settledin
Nubia, but probably of Arab origin.
The Shellalee or Cataract families fur

The best way to clean mirrors, the
glass of pictures, etc., is to take a soft
sponge, wash it well in clean water and
squeeze it as dry as possible; dip it in

glass and rub it lightly and quickly
with a soft cloth; afterward finish with
a silk handkerchief. -Erchamge
Light is as essential in the barn as

then it is very much more comfortable

The depredations of insects on
farmers crops, says the Western Rural,
are compelling farmers to learn a good
deal of entomology. 1t is much less
common than it was few years ago to
kill worm or bug merely because it
looks ugly. Some of our best insect
friends are neither pretty in looks or in
disposition. 1t is in the fall that their
predatory character benefits us, for
their energies are then devoted to de-
stroying our worst enemies.

How He Saved His Money.

He was porter. believe, and saving
his money, put it all in Gould & Curry.
That was twenty years ago. He grew
rich with the bonanza and determined
on trip to Europe. He left his stock
with Ralston, to deal with as he would
with his own. The steamer that bore
him had not left the bay before Raj
ston had sold out his Could & Curry.
The news reached him steamer later
in Paris. that giving Ralston long
time the use of the proceeds. At
first he was angry, but seeing that
prices had begun to fall he felt a
little bit relieved, and wrote to Raj
ston to invest the cash in bonds
and good securities and collect the in
terest. On his return to San Francisco
he found the Gould & Curry boom over,
and he was so thankful for what he
had escaped by Ralston's supposed I'M
scrupulousness that he turned his at

that man may begin very hunbly in

What is Il birthday. papa?
Is it something nice for you?
Are they good for little fellows2
And can 1 have one, too?
This world is full of puzzles
To bother boys about;
But it's pretty hard one
My papa can't make out.
There are roses in the parlor,
And roses in the hall,
And the garland on your portrait
Is sweetest of them all.
And here's another puzzle:
Who makes the roses grow
On purpose for our birthdays?
Papa can tell, know.
Mamma says flowers blossom
Because God tells them to,
But that's an old, old reason;

And before I'm wise like papa

Railroad Bonds.

The depreciation in railroad bonds rs
felt in various ways. One of my ac-
quaintance, for instance, invested C.
large part of his money in Ohio Central
first mortgages at SO. This was CON
sidered low for six per cent. bonds,
and as the issue was only three million
the annual interest amounted to only
S1S0,000 The road. however, default
ed on its interest and the bonds are now
down to 20. There, too, are the West
Shore bonds, which have not defaulted.
They have been up as high as so, but
are now selling at SO. Cheap enough
for five per cent. bonds, and if really
good why should they be so low? Rail
road bonds, however, like all other
forms of credit, are easily affected by
report, and even by gossip, and this is
often the best explanation of such de-
cline. Railway bonds have also made
q sensation in bank circles since the
resignation of both the President and
Treasurer of the Bank of the Republic
is occasioned by the present decline.
These officers were induced to lend a
half-million on this kind of security,
and as the directors did not approve the
loan resignation followed H. w.
Ford (the late President) stood well
among business circles, but in an evil
hour he placed too much dependence
on road which does not meet expecta-
tons. have seen several banks ruined
by loans of this kind, and it is probable
that the Bank of the Republic will be a
serious loser. | well remember the
first extensive dealer in railway bonds
(the late Simeon Draper who was ut
terly ruined and died bankrupt. This
kind of property is only good while
credit is maintained N. Y. Cor. Troy
