GREYTowN, Nicaragua. April 8.-The
steamship Aguan, from New York, hav-
ing on board the Hon. Warner Miller
and his party, went aground on the
Roncador coral reef at 8 o'clock on the
morning of Thursday, March 20. The
sea was then calm and the moon was
shining in clear sky. The steamer
ran her full length upon the reef before
she could be checked. Bells were at
once rung to stop and at the same mo-
ment the signal was given to back.
Luckily the ship held fast.
The passengers made no sign of alarm
in their sudden awaking. They dressed
quietly and without any sign of panic
waited for day to break. In the dis
tance ahead a line of low surf could be
made out. Some rocks were in sight.
The passengers had breakfast as usual
and soon after left the ship in boats,
could. They headed for Roncador Is
land, six miles north, except one boat,
which was sent to Providence Island,
seventy miles west.
Landed on the Reef
All hands were safely landed in the
course of The day except the captain
and seven Of the crew. They had fresh
water, food enough for all, and tents.

and had no fear that rescue would not
come. Some of the crew made trouble
after drinking heavily, but this was
promptly checked.
Provisions and the water supply be-
gan to get short Sunday. There was
nothing to eat except canned goods, and
Sunday afternoon there were only 800
gallons of water left. No more could
be had from the ship, which was sink
ing rapidly. The main tank had already
gone below the salt water line. With
some feelings of alarm the wrecked
party began digging wells, and at
length, to their great relief, found water,
hard, but fresh and in abundance.
No Worse for Their Experience.
Next morning Easter services were
held under the leadership of an English
bishop of Honduras. Monday afternoon
about O'Clock sail was seen. 1t was
the first sincs the Aguan had left ia

steamer Presidente Carazo, owned by
one of the wrecked party, came in sight.
She anchored just outside the reef and
the wrecked party were taken aboard,
and ut o'clock the start was made for
this place, where all arrived safely.
None of the party suffered from expos

Making Live Wires Dead.

A Bostonian has invented q device to
insure the safety of people and animals
travelling along streets and roads from the
''live" electric wire when it breaks and
falls, putting life in jeopardy. 1t is an
attachment to be connected with the
wires at intervals of about $50 feet, and
consists of a piece of rubber about eight
inches in length, in the centre of watch
is a spiral spring, to one end of which is
attached an insulated wire connected
with a piston il the centre. At the
other end OF the mechanical device is a
copper wire. The idea is to connect it
with the electric wires attached to the
trolley poles. When attached to the
wire the spiral spring is pulled back to
its full extent, and in case a wire should
break the end upon which is the piston
portion of the device recoils instantly to
the other end and shuts off all the cur
rent on the wire, thus making the wire
which has fallen a ''dead" one. 1t is
also claimed that if a broken electric
wire falls upon a fire-alarm wire with the
new construction attached it will not in
terfere with the working of the fire
alarm.-NeU York Commercial Advertiser.

His First Boar.

A Russian officer at one Of the military
stations in the Caucasus hearing Of the
presence in his neighborhood Of two
gentlemen in pursuit Of boar, sent to
hem an invitation to join him on the
following day, when he would give
them a taste of real sport. With many
thanks they accepted the kindness, and
1t the appointed time set of.
During the day many shots were fired
at one thing and another, though at least
one of the party had seen no boar. As
the afternoon wore on and the daylight
began to disappear, one of the Russian S
guests, who had wandered away from
his friends, found himself rather tagged,
and felt that it was time to stop.
Just then he heard the dogs baying
something not far from him, and after
creeping up to within thirty yards Of
them, he crouched behind the bole of
a huge oak, and waited for his eyes to
get used to the darkness. He was soon
able to make out the dogs tails waving
to and fro, and then, under a leaning
trce-stump, the indistinct outline Of their
enemy. Meantime, the boar kept up a
balf-grunting, half-growling noise, while
the dogs barked their loudest.
Suddenly" says the gentleman, 'the
mass moved, and a dog went flying, and
his yells were added to the discord. But

FIRST PETITION FOR RoHrnrr1oy

The first petition for prohibition in this
country came from Passaconaway, Chief of
the PenGcooks, who lived on the Merrimac.
He was a sagacious ruler, and seeing the de-
moralizing effect of drink upon his three
thousand braves, %besought the English Gov
eminent not to sell them fre-water. In
lG6S an English trucking house. was
opened among the Penacooks, and the
drunken Indian" became so numerous that
a delegation OF chiefs journeyed to Piscata-
qua TO enter their protest in person against
the sale of spurious liquors to their tribe.
Their wishes were not needed. One
more attempt was made, when the chiefs
carried their plea to the general court. All
were disregarded. The aborigines of North
America, the natives Of India, and the deni-
zens of Africa will rise up in Judgment to
pronounce the ''woe upon him that putteth
the bottle to his neighbours lips to make him
drunken" against the Eng~lish-speaking
nations that nave debauched them.-W. &.

Tnrf CnttInr in Ircland.

Among the chief characteristic feat.
ures Of Ireland are the extensive peat
moors that occupy a principal portion Of
the center OF the island, the most i'm
portant of which is the great bog OF
Allen. Its original extent comprised
1000, 900 acres; but by cultivation its
size has been considerably diminished.
In the form Of a table-land, IL rises 270
feet above the level Of the sea, extends
within twenty miles of Dublin, through
Kings County, reaching east and west
beyond the Shannon into the counties Of
Galway and Roscommon, and spreads
through Meath aud Westmeath north,
and south into the Queens County and
Tipperary. Two important towns oc-
cupy the center of the bog-Tullamore
and Philipstown-aud the arteries by
which the turf is conveyed to the city of
Dublin are the Grand Canal aud tho
Royal Canal.
A weird spot for the wayfarer is that
wild moorland; here and there he comes
across a primitive attempt at a habita-
ton, half burrow, half hut-it is the
miserable hovel OF the turf cutter, the
tenant of a few acres; he selects a dry,
sheltered nook, burrows n floor, erects
a few bogwood stakes and forms a roof
with heath and rushes, leaving a hole
that serves for a chimney. From this
wretched shanty he and the various mem
bers Of his family issue forth to their
daily toll of preparing the turf for the
various markets.
The saving Of the turf consists of six
oporations-cutting, spreading, footing,
rickling, clamping. aud drawing home.
A days work is called a clark" One
mar generally goes before the cutter and
levels the banks, il necessary. Another
man attends TO the barrows and wheels
the turf to the spreading field. The
spreading is generally accomplished by
women aud children in favorable wealth
! er it lies for about n week, having been
turned in the meantime to dry the other
sides. Then it is ready for footing-a
process of setting in small stacks of
about twelve sods each. In this condi-
ton it is left for a period of about ten
days, after which the turf is rickled.
Rickling consists of placing abou twelve
footings on their sides, one turf deep,
and about two feet high. Having re.
manned so till it is thoroughly dry, it is
then stored in clamps or stacks OF from
twelve to thirty feet long and of proper
ton height and depth, and in this form
it lies on the banks Of the canals till it is
removed in the barges to the city market
or brought in the smaller turf cots to be
vended in the streets of Athlone and
other towns on the river Shannon. Some
enterprising firms have within the past
three years engaged in the manufacture
of peat litter in the bog of Allen, and
speculation in this direction has so faI
proved profitable to the Spectators

HOW TO PREPARE A por-Au.rEu.

Remove the bone from the meat, crack
it with a cleaver and put it in the bottom
of the soup pot. Roll the meat into n
nice shape, and tie securely with strong
Irvine, lay it on top of the bones and add
the water and salt.
Just as it comes to a boil, skim, add
about half a gill of water, which will
hasten the rising of the scum, which
must be carefully removed. Repeat this
operation two or three times, when the
stock will be found quite clear.
NJ put in the vegetables, etc., and
wheu It begins to boil again remove to a
corner Of the range, where it should be
allowed to simmer gently four hours at
least-tive, il a stronger and better flavor
is desired. When it is done, remove the
meat, strain, add more seasoning, If re-
quired, and serve. The meat may be
used as one course, surrounded by the
vegetables, or, if preferred, the broth
need not be strained and can be served
with the vegetables. In cold weather the
stock, after it is strained, will keep for
several days.-NeW York Journal.

Indian Songs In the Photograph.

The first paper read at the seconi day
of the fall meeting of the National
Academy of Arts and Sciences was on
the use of the photograph in the study
of the languages of the American Indians
by Professor j. Walter Fawkes. He said
that a phonetic means of studying the
language of the Indians and some means
of making a record of what is said with
accuracy is much desired. The phono.
graph is such a means, not perhaps,
wholly perfect MS yet, but still it serves
the purpose. Indian songs, prayers,
ceremonies, rituals and speeches by this
wonderful instrument are recorded. With
the encroachments of whites it is quite
certain that in u short time these would
be lost were It not for the phongraph.
Professor Fawkes then illustrated what
he had said with a photograph, showing
the preservation of the songs, ETC., of
various Indian tribes. The first was the
song of the Passamaquoddies, on making
war on the Mohawks. This song was
sung by an old man whose veracity could
not be q~uestionhed. The song of the
corn dance was the next. This was sung
by the Zunis upon bringing the corn from
the fields and presenting it to the squaws.
The next was the wal cry of the Pueblos,
who, though they were never a very war
like people, formerly had a war cry. A
rain song was then reproduced, then a
sacred song used in dedicating II house,
which was very hard to get, because the
Indians feared the p~honograph, thinking
it was beWitched, and its manipulation
they considered a wizard. For all that,
the talking instrument reproduced 1t with
wonderful accuracy and distinctness.-

SOMETHING NEW ABOUT DRINKING.

An American doctor says: Drinking men
are usually fine looking men, physically con-
sidered. Nothing is the matter with their
stomachs. It would be better for the I'M
fortuuates if the disease did attack the
digestive organs, but the truth is that alco-
hol, considered as a poison, has, like other
poisons, an elective affinity for a particular
part of the body, and it selects the brain and
nerves. Taken into the stomach, in three
seconds it reaches the brain, and rasps upon the
fine substance of the terminal arteries which
spread over the c%onvoluted folds of brain
matter like a file. This produces congestion
of the brain. Drinking, as a habit is due
largely TO overwork, and a need for a stimu-
liant. Liquors effect is acute or temporary
insanity, while chronic drinking brings on
paralysis Of the brain, aud destroys the moral
character OF man. Dipsomania is always
accompanied by loss of moral stamina. by
covardice and falsehood. Even the modcr-
ate drinker becomes debased."

Astonishing Fecundltr Of Goldfish.

It Is said that between 60, 900, 900, 900
and 100, 000, 000, 900 cod6shos are taken
from the sea around the shores OF New
foundland every year. But ever that
quantity seems small when VIC On
slider that a single cod yields something
like 3, 300, 900 eggs each year, and that
over 5000, 900 eggs have been found in
the roe of a single cod. A herring Of six
or seven ounces in weight is provided
with 80, 600, 900 ova. After making all
reasonable allowances for the destruction
of eggs and of the young, 1t has been
calculated that in three years a single
pair of behring's would produce 154, zoo,
900. Button once said that II a pair Of
behring's were left to breed and multiply
undisturbed for a period twenty years,
they would yield a fish bulk equal to the
size of our globel-St. Louis Republic.
