The Use of Oil to Still The Waves.

Under the above title Lieutenant
W. II. Beehler contributes 10 the
March Century an account of the ex-
periments made with oil in rough
water. We quote the following
accounts OF two rescues: "The cap
tain of the ship Martha COBB, loaded
with petroleum, fell in with sink
ing vessel during heavy gale in the
North Atlantic in December, 1886.
The signal made stated the vessel was
sinking and that all her boats had
been stove. The Martha COBB had
lost her large boats, her bulwarks
washed outand decks swept In the
same storm the only boat left was q
small sixteen-foot dingey, which
could not possibly live in the sea
that was running. The captain says
he was puzzled and lay for some
hours hoping that the gale would
moderate; but as there was no appear
ance of better weather and night
coming on, he decided to make al
attempt to rescue the sinking vessel
The Martha Cobb had q cargo of pc.
troleum, some of which leaked, and
he noticed that the sea In the wake OF
the ship was much smoother when

There is nothing unusual to report
from our market concerning the stu
alton ON dark tobacco. Daily sales
are being made of the new crop but
they are composed mainly of very
Indifferent tobacco. The demand for
extra long tobacco continues strong
but the buyers have become little
more discriminating as to the length
placing 4 discount on all tobacco
which does not come fully up to the
standard measurement. There is
strong demand here for new dark to-
bacco possessing wrappery qualities
but only an occasional hid. of thi,
character is being offered. The fol

our market for dark tobacco both ole

THE BLUEGRASS GIRL.
A New Theory Presented TO tho World
Chnrlea Dudley Warner.

A New Theory Presented 10 tho World BY
Charles. Dudley Warner.
The limestone and the blue-s rass to-
gether determine the agricultural pre-
eminence OF the region. and account
for the fine breeding OF the horses, the
excellence OF the cattle, the stature Of
the mon, and the beauty OF the women;
but they have social and moral influ-
ence also. II could not we'll DO other
wise, considering the relation OF the
physical condition TO disposition and
character. We should be surprised In
rich agricultural region. healthful at
the same time, where there is abun-
dance Of food, and wholesome cooking
is the rule, did not affect the tone OF
social life. And l am almost pre-
pared TO go further, and think that
bluegrass is specific for physical
beauty and certain graciousness OF
life. have been told that there is a
natural relation between Presbyterian
ism and bluegrass, and am pointed to
the Shenandoah and to Kentucky as
evidence OF it. Perhaps Presbyteri-
ans naturally seek limestone country.
But the relation, If 1t exists, Is too
subtle and the facts are too few to
build o theory on Still. have no
doubt there Is distinct variety OF
woman known as the bluegrass girl.
A geologist told me that once when he
was footing 1t over the State with a
geologist from another State, as they
approached the bluegrass region from
the southwark they were carefully ex-
amining the rock formation and study
ing the surface indications, which are
usually marked On the border line, to
determine exactly whore tho peculiar
limestone formation began. lndica-
lions, however, were wanting. Sud-
denly my geologist looked up the road
and exclaimed:
I'VE are In the bluegrass region
now"
"How do you know" asked the
other.
why, there Is bluegrass girl"
There was no installing the neat
dress, the style, the rounded contours.
the gracious parsonage. A few steps
further on the geologists found the
outcropping of the blue alimestone.-

Confidence Begot of Success.

So confident are the manufacturers
of that world-famed remedy, DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
that it will do all they represent, in
the cure of liver, blood and lung dis
eases, that, after witnessing its thous-
snds Of cures for many years past,
they now feel warranted in selling IL
las they are doing, through drug
gists) under positive guarantee OF
it's giving satisfaction in every case,
or money paid FORT will be refunded.
No medicine of ordinary merit could
be sold under such severe conditions
with profit to its proprietors, and no
other medicine for the disess-
es for which 1t is recommended was
ever before sold under guarantee OF
a cure or no pay. In all blood taints
and impurities of whatever name or
nature, il 10 moet positive In ito cura-
tive effects. Pimples, blotches, erup-
tons and all skin and scalp diseases
are radically cured by this wonderful
medicine. Scrofulous diseases may af-
feet the glands, causing swellings or
tumors; the bones, causing "fever
Sores "whitc swellings" or ship

NOTES.

The woods will be full of society
actorenes next season.
Robert Downing closed great
week at Kansas City last week.
willard Spencer will probably take
"The Little Tycoon" to Australia.
Edward Thorne, juggler, is
reported to be very i'll at Buffalo, N.
Y.
Edna Carey has left the Ozark
Secret" Co. She objected to looking
for it in the water.
"a Possible Case" found it an i'm
possible case TO stay out, and closed
the season at Grand Rapids.
A good many road managers find
il very convenient this season to have
everything in their wives names.
Whenever you meet the manager
ola theatre, brace him for pass.
They live on air-they don't need
money.
A hotel clerk can always tell real
actor, because he fills his matchbox
at the office. If the matches only
ignite on the box, he takes the box.
We know manager who always
tells his company that they will leave
the city by railroad aid city time as
well. 1t keeps them busy attending
their watches.
When there is any great calamity
the theatrical people are always asked
TO play for the benefit OF the relief
committee. But when an actor dies,
how many buy ticket for the bene-
lit of his wife and children?
Mile lola, tattooed woman, died
February 18th at Jackson, La.
About two months previous to her
demise she was admitted to the in
sane asylum at that place raviDg
maniac. She died utterly friendless,
so far as can be learned.
Fanny Davenport is quoted as say =
ing that she thinks marriage "is such
q success" she Is "about to try ii
again" This is accepted in theatre
cal circles as an expression of her in
tention soon to wed Melbourne Nc
Dowell, her leading man.
The Wallace Sisters report having
met with much success at the Mas
cot Theatre, Denver, Col, where
they have been engaged for the sea-
son. Hattie Wallace says that
after March IA there will be three
sisters instead of two. On the above
date Mabel will join Hattie and Grace,
making her debut.
Addie Cora Reed ACCOMPLISHED
what TO some would appear an utter
impossibility. Atll A. NJ. Feb. 10, she
received word from Rudolph Aron-
son that Bertha Ricci, appearing at
the Glove Theatre, Bosom, Mass, with
"The Yeomen of the Guard" Co., was
seriously indisposed, and unable to
appear, and could Miss Reed leave
New York City on the / p. NJ. train
and sing the role of Elsie Maynard al
The evening performance Without
the slightest hesitancy she consented
and left for Boston, where she arrived
al s z. NJ. Everything was in readi
ness for her arrival, and at s rs sh,
tripped upon the stage without re
hearsal, spoke every line of the dia
logue, sang every bar Of the music
end displayed not the slightes
bit of nervousness or fatigue from
the journey.

ale signaled to the other vessel
10 haul by the wind while he luffed
to get TO windward, and atthe same
time started the pumps; but the ship
drifted faster than the oil, and while
the oil made the sea comparatively
smooth to windward, 1t did not COW
err the sea leeward. lie then ran
down across the other vessels stern
hauled up close under her lee, and
started the pumps again at the same
time also he emptied five-gallon can
of fish oil down the scuppers. The
effect was magical. In twenty min
utes the sea between and around the
vessels was broken down. The long
heavy swell remained, but the COM
bers and breaking sea were all gone.
The little dingey with three men
had no difficulty In pulling to wind
ward, and the crew were saved. The
boats was deeply loaded and did not
ship any water, although the sea
was breaking ficrcely outside Of the
charmed space in which the vessels
lay on oiled seas.
"In June, 1885 the British ship Slire-
more took fire and had to be aband-
oned when eight hundred miles
th.east of the Seychelle Islands,
Indian Ocean. The people took to
boats and made for Seychelle Islands.
The third day after leaving the vessel
a cyclone came up, and no one be-
ljeyed that the boats would live
through it. Before they left the ship,
the boats had been supplied with oil
for lust such an emergency. Each
boat got out drag made Of spars
and oars dashed together, for what Is
known as q sea-anchor. Oakum sat
urated with paraffine was stuffed In
long stockings hung over the bows OF
the boats. Before the oil was used
the boats had been several times near
ly filled with water and the occupants
had to bail for their lives but when
oil was applied no further trouble
was experienced. An oil-slick formed
around the boats, which rode In per-
feet safety on tremendous swell which
took the place of the previously
breaking seas. Little II any water
came over the sides of the
boats, and the occupants could lie
down and sleep. The boats event.
ually reached the islands, but Sory
soul would have perlshed except for
the forethought OF Captain COMFY, the
captain of the Siiuemore.'
