Sinking Far Out at Sea.

On August 18th the North German
Lloyd steamer, Saale, crashed into the
Norwegian bark, Tortoise-shell, off 1.-THE
banks of Newfoundland. The crew OF
the sailing vessel was saved, but the
bark sank. A young woman on
board thus describes the wreck:
ave were all at dinner, when there
came thud. and the ship stopped.
We had been moving very slowly, and
the shock stopped us, but not with
enough of jerk to spill the water in
the glasses or tip anything over. A
number OF people screamed, and be-
gan running around. Somebody look
ed out of a port hole, and then told
me to come on deck to see the other
vessel sink.
at was magnificent sight. The
vessel had all sails set. When we
reached the upper deck all the men
had been rescued, so we could appre-
ciate the sight The beautiful thing
acted as if living. 1t leaned first to
one side and then to the other, rock
ing like creature in pain, and then
slowly righted itself, and trembling
like an aspen, began to slip out OF
sight:
"There was not q sound on the
Saale axcept the 'hush-hush-hush' OF
a little escaping steam. Slowly, and
yet, oh, so swiftly, the vessel sank in
RI fhn tn,, u,hIrh h1,,o
phires, and dimpled as if smiling. The
shipwrecked sailors removed their
caps and saluted, then remained I'M
covered until the last bit of masts
and rigging had disappeared, and not
a ripple on the surface of the water
betrayed their loss.
sit was only four and a. half minutes
from the time of the collision until the
last thread OF sail had disappeared,
yet, i seemed very long. 1t brought
tears to the eyes Of men, as we'll as
women, to see that beautiful ship
slip out of sight as it did"
AYoune Mans Chances.
A mother who now sends out a son
into the business world launches him
at time when the chances are all in
favor of a young man, writes Edward
w. Box, in Ladies' Home Journal,
Business men were never more willing
to place large trusts upon the should
ers of young men than they are to-
day. "Young BLOOD" as it is called,
is the life of the modern business
world, and is everywhere sought. In
New York the demand for the right
kind OF youn, men in all capacities is
far greater than the supply, and what
is true OF New York is true of all the
large cities. Bear in mind, however
the right kind of young men, and by
that classification I mean young men
who are willing to work, and work
hard. The day of the young man who
works by the clock, eagerly watching
the hour when the office shall close
has gone by, even if it ever existed
Hundreds OF young men are energetic
IN new position until the novelty
wears off and then become mere ma
chimes whose places can be filled at q
days notice.
NO mother need have undue anxiety
| for the success OF son who this an.
tumn or winter steps out into the
business world. so long as he bears in
mind a few essential points.
He must be honest above all THINGS
and allow nothing to ,onyince him
that there is a compromise between
honesty and dishonesty.
He must be an out and out be,;ever
in the homely but forcible saving that
a man cannot drink whisky and he in
! business. W Al
He must, too, decide between holm,
a society man or business man. he
cannot be both. no
He must make his life outside tho
office the same as in it, and not he
possessed with the prevalent idea tbat
his employer has no business tn nna sV

hours. An employer has every r r;nbe
