up and wetting her feet.
Great heavens, the young woman
was walking on-walking into the
sea. She would be drowned.
Mary could never think how the
sudden courage came, or what put it
into her head to do what she did, in
stead of shrieking.
But sudden strength seemed to
take possession of her limbs-a ner-
YOU energy surged up in her brain.
With a little cry she ran forward
and darted across the beach after the
young woman.
The young woman was in the sea,
the waters we're closing over her.
None of us know how we should act
in such desperate moment. Mary
never thought of the danger to her
SELF of the lonely shore and the wide
ocean, and only the stars looked
down upon that death struggle.
She only saw that woman was
drowning, and she rushed in after
her, rushed in madly, and, just as a
wave OF the incoming tide carried the
floating form nearer her, she seized
the suicide by the dress and shouted
for help, and dragged with all her
might, struggling iercely to keep her

When Queen Victoria is fully rugged
out IN her drawing room attire it is no
unusual thing for her to have $1,000
900 worth of jewels spread on her
royal person. This is good deal of
wealth for one person to display at one
time. We doubt if all this enormous
sum has given one-half the comfort in
all the time that it has been worn, and
some of the jewels have been known
since the Norman Conquest, that a

BUFFALO, n. Y, Dec. S.-A few min

alarm of fire ran through the planning
mill and yards of Lee, Holland & Co.,
on Court Street, and workmen fastened
TO help in putting out the fire. 1t was
found to be located in the shaving
room. The fire was working down
into the boiler room, and it was for
the purpose of drowning out this lit
tie blaze that the workmen rushed
forward, hose in hand. They were
standing in the narrow passage when an
explosion of dust occurred. Directly in
front of them was the brick wal, and the
top portion of this wall was blown out,
fell upon a light roof over the passage
way, carried it down and buried the
workmen beneath. A large pipe, or oss-
ing the passageway from the boiler room,
bearing steam to other portions of the
building, was broken short Oft by the
falling wall, and allowed the steam TO
escape. Some of the victims were al
mos parboiIed. 1t was found that five
men were caught. 1t took about twenty
minutes to get them all out. Nick
Brader, the first man rescued, was only
slightly hurt. Two boys, named Martin

Considerable Increase Over 1890, but
Cold Premiums Remain High.
The Italian department of agriculture
announces that Geographic reports from
all parts of Italy place the crop of rice
for 1891 at 6,740,0OO hectolitres, against
6,303, 900 in 1890. This completes the re-
ports Of the crops for 1891, which may be
summarized as follows: Corn, fair,
wheat, good; rice, wine and oil, most
abundant, and the other minor crops
satisfactory. The imports for ten
months ended October 81 were csc, 0O0,-
900 lire, or 1873, 000 900 less than for the
corresponding period of 1890. The ex-
ports during the same time were 1885,
OG0,G00 lire, or an increase of SO, 000,-
600. The aggregate of both shows
an unfavorable balance of trade to
the extent of 20S, 100000 lire. But
the unfavorable balance during the cor
responding period of 1890 was 100000
600 lire. The treasury receipts, for the
first time in many months, show an in
crease, having been IN October, 1891,
$500, 900 lire more than in October, 1890.
But Notwithstanding the diminution of
the unfavorabie balance of trade, the

troduced by the ministry the premium

advantage of the work already done

PARIS, Dec. S.-The body of Dom Pc
dro, the ex-emperor of Brazil, who

ford in this city, was placed yester-
day in the coffin prepared for it
and in which, after the royal
obsequies In this city, it will be con-

family vault there. One trait of the
gentle hearted old man who died so
far from the land he ruled over
SO long and so wisely was
his intense love for Brazil. Yesterday
this was exemphfied. Servants were
overhauling the effects of Dom
Pedro preparatory to removing
them, when they found in a
chest belonging to the dead ex-
emperor bag of earth, part of the soil
OF Brazil, which he mad treasured as
one Of his most valuable possessions.
It was known that it was his desire to
sleep his final sleep in Brazilian soil,
and so the valued earth was
placed in the coffin and the dead ex-
ruler was tenderly and reverently laid
upon it. Thus, in measure, was his
oft-eXpressed wish complied with.
