Unlucky Names for Ships.

The Alta California thinks that the
name San Francisco, which is to be
given to the cruiser building on the
Pacific, comes under the condemnation
of unlucky names, as four vessels bear
ing that name have been lost, either by
laundering at sea or by being cast
ashore. So far as our navy is concerned
California names would seem to be un.
lucky, for the Sacramento was wrecked
in 1867. Of the other naval vessels
bearing geographical names which have
been unfortunate we have the Albany,
foundered, 1854; Boston, third, burned
in Washington, 1914; Boston, fourth;
wrecked, 1916; Concord, lost, 1S43;
Cumberland, sunk by the Merrimac,
Delaware, destroyed at Norfolk, 1861;
Germantown, destroyed at Norfolk,
1861; Levant, lost in the Pacific, 1860;
New York, destroyed at Norfolk, 1861 !;
New York, second, burned at Washing
ton, 1914; Ohio, captured, 1914; Penn
sylvania, destroyed at Norfolk, 1861 !;
Philadelphia, wrecked off Tripoli, 1868;
Plymouth, destroyed at Norfolk, 1861;
Yorktown, lost at Cape de Verde.
These were sailing vessels Of steam
ers we have the Arizona, burnt, 1865;
Barataria, grounded and destroyed,
1868; Chattanooga, Gunk by ice at
League Island; Eastport, grounded
and destroyed in 1864; Hatteras, sunk
by the Alabama; Housatonic. sunk by
torpedo, 1874; Huron, wrecked in 1879;
Indianola, captured in 1868; Key West,
burned to prevent capture, 1864: Ian
caster, sunk by Vicksburg; Merrimac,
captured at Norfolk; Merrimac, fourth,
foundered, 1865; Milwaukee, sunk by
torpedo, 1865; Mississippi, destroyed
at Port Hudson; Missouri, burnt at
Gibraltar, 1913; Oneida, sunk, 1870;
Usage, Patapsco, Otsego and Philadel-
phia, sunk by torpedoes; Philippi, de-
stroyed in Mobile Bay; Saginaw,
wrecked, 1870; San Jacinto, lost, 1865;
Saranac, sunk, 1875; Scotia, sunk by

erland, sunk by Pittsburgh batteries

remarks by quoting the case of the
British Wasp, and that name certainly
appears to be one of i'll omen in our
own service as we'll as that of England.
We have had four vessels bearing it |;
one was destroyed in Delaware Bay in
1877, to prevent it from falling into
the hands of the enemy; another was
captured in 1872, and third was lost

WHAT Ais YOI

Do you have dull, heavy headache, OBJ
struction of the nasal passages, discharges
falling from the head into the throat
sometimes profuse, watery, and acrid, at
others, thick, tenacious, mucous, purulent
bloody and putrid; eyes weak, watery and
infamed; ringing in the ears, deafness
hacking or coughing to clear the throat,
eXpectOratiOn of offensive matter, to-
gether with scabs from ulcers; voice
changed and nasal twang; breath often
sive; smell and taste impaired; is there a
sensation of dizziness, with mental de-
preston, hacking cough and general
debility? Ifyou have all or any consider
able number of these symptoms, you are
suffering from Nasal Catarrh. The more
complicated your disease has become, the
greater the number and diversity of
symptoms. Thousands of cases annually,
without manifesting half of the above
symptoms, result in consumption, and
end in the grave. No disease is so COM
mon, more deceptive and dangerous, less
understood, or more unsuccessfully treat
ed by physicians. The manufacturers of
Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer, in good
faith, a reward of $500 for case of this
disease which they cannot cure. The
Remedy is sold by druggists at only 25c.

-Fronaut C. ". Williams came neal
losing his life yesterday afternoon at Tol-
chester Beach, and Mr.. Henry Scales, a
bleacher, living at No. 729 Franklin-st.
also had a narrow escape. As it is, both
are injured, Mr. Williams Slightly and
Mr.. Scales severely. The accident hap
pened in the attempt to perform the bal,
/ loon and parachute feat. The air-ship
made of 1900 square feet of cloth, had
been gradually inflated with hot air tC
its immense dimensions. In one or two
minutes everything would have been in
readiness.
Mr.. ). c. Young, the partner of Mr
Williams, was to make the ascension
He was biding his time. The people hold
ing the air-ship down over the flume gave
way on one side and the others were un-
able to hold. The cry Hold her DOWN.
was useless. and the alarm was given
Mr.. Williams, seeing that the air-shiI
was going up, and that Mr.. Young was
not near, made spring for the basket
| He got one foot in the basket, and with
good hold on the ropes, was prepared tc
make successful exhibition. Owing tC
the fact that everything had not been got
ten out of the way, the cradle caught and
broke loose from the air-ship forty feet
above the ground. Mr.. Williams was
started on a headforemost dive to the
earth, which seemed to mean sudden
death.
He had been pulled up so suddenly in
the first place that it nearly took the
breath from him. In the headlong dive
he managed to catch himself in the ropes,
and all came down in crowd of people.
Williams fall was broken by Mr.. Scales.
He fell on Mr.. Scales back and head
1t is thought that Mr.. Scales was also
struck on the hips by the basket. VIII
liams was first thought to be dead or
mOrtally injured. He was picked up,
and after being carried few feet regain
ed his senses and limped to the hotel, as
sisted by two persons. Mr.. Scales was
not so fortunate. DR.. Louis Easton and
DR.. Philip 5. Field, who were near by,
went to his assistance. They had him
removed over on the grounds under the
shade trees and placed on table. From
there he was removed on a stretcher to
the Captains state-room on the steamer
Louise
From haSty examination the physi-
clans do not think that any bones are
broken, but that the shock shattered his
nervous system. Mr.. Scales managed to
go to sleep on the trip up to Baltimore.
He was taken to his home in hack
ErOnaut Williams also came up on the
boat. He said the only pain from the
fall was in the left hip, where he was
hurt on June 2, in falling at Hamilton,
Ont. He was, however, very much wor-
ried at the failure of the exhibition. He
did not want the people to be disappoint-
ed, and he was afraid they would look
upon it in bad light. Every one on
the ground spoke of the pluck shown by
the daring @rOnaut, and expressed SYM
pathy for him. The air-ship descended
in peach orchard about a mile away.
Mr.. Young said that if he could have got
ten it in time, second attempt would
have been made. The 4ronauts give it
out that they will attempt it again to-
day.

THERE Is NO DEATH.

There is no death, The stars 60 down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in heavens jewened crown
They shine forever more
There is no death. The dust We tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disoTganize
To feed the hungry moss they bear,
The leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no DEATH The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away;
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming of the May.
There is no DEATH An angel form
Walks over the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best-loved things away,
And then we call them dead"
He leaves our hearts all deSolate;
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transported into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones
Make glad these scenes of sin and strife,
Sings now an everlasting song
Amid the tree of life;
And where he sees smile too bright
Or heart too pure for taint and vice,
He bears it TO that world of light,
To dwell in Paradise;
Born unto that undying life,
They leave but to come again;
With joy we welcome them-the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near US, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the bOundless universe
Is life-there are no dead.

GRAINS OF GOLD.
Do right and fear not.

Do right and fear not.
Thrift is the result of self-denial.
Take delight in the happiness of others
When pride cometh, shame fOlloweth
The art of not hearing should be learn
ed by all.
No one is fatigued after the exercise
of forbearance.
Recreation is to the mind what whet-
ting is to the scythe.
1t is the nature of strife to breed envy,
Indifference and malice
No occupation is low if it be consistent
with what is just and honest.
True merit consists in the performance
of our part, whatever that may be.
There are some persons on whom vir-
tue sits almost as ungraciously as vice.
a guilty conscience is like whirlpool,
drawing in to itself all which would 9TH
erwise pass by.
Sorrows are like thunder-clouds-
the distance they look black, over our
heads hardly gray,
LduOI; perseverance, SelI-uenlal, 1Ortl-
tude, watchfulness, are the elements out
of which joy is formed.
Hasty and i'll formed judgments are
far more likely to exaggerate vice than
virtue; iniquity than rectitude.
The most virtuOus Of all men is he
that contents himself with being virtu-
Gus without wishing to appear so.
That which makes people dissatisfied
with their condition is the chimerical
idea they form of the happiness of others.
Jealous men are ever displaying to
you the strength of their belief, while ju-
diciOus men are showing you the grounds
of it.
One great reason why the work of re-
formation goes ON so slowly is because
we all begin on our neighbors and never
reach ourselves.
Doto-day's duty, fight to-day's tempta-
tions, and do not weaken and distract
yourself by looking forward to things
which you cannot see, and could not un-
derStand if you saw them.
