A RESCUE AT SEA.
Described by a Sailor who took Part In
the adventure.

We left New York enc cold December
day In one of the big transatlantic liners
bound for Liverpool. A gale vas blow
ing from the westward and with all our
canvass set, we were making about TWEEN,
ty knots an hour and every Indication
seemed to point to a quick passage.
There was heavy sea running, but the
big ship seemed to jump from wave to
wave with the speed of a greyhound.
Everything went we'll until we got as far
east as the thirtieth meridian when one
morning the officer of the watch caught
sight Of a large bark flying the American
ensign In the mizzen rigging, union down.
She lay directly In our course and as we
drew nearer we could see by the aid of our
powerful glasses that her fore and main
masts were gone by the board, taking
with them the mizzan top masts. She ap-
peared to De almost ter-logged and
rolled heavily in the trough of the sea.
We bore down on her and hove to about
an eighth Of mile to windward, and sig
naling, learned that she was the Ocean
Queen" bound from San Francisco to
Queenstown and loaded with grain. She
had deem caught fat aback in a squall
and been dismasted. Being almost uR
manageable and rolling heavily, she had
sprung a leak. Although all hands went
to the pumps and turned to with a
will, the water was rapidly gaining, and
1t appeared to be the matter of only a
couple Of hours at the most when she
would sink under their feet. As their
boats had all been stove, and the sea was
running dangerously high, our captain
called all hands aft 10 the bridge and said:
my lads, don't know whether d boat
will live IN this sea or not, but there are
men aboard that ship, which las you can
plainly see) is liable to go down at any
moment" who'll volunteer TO man a
boat?" As one man, all hands stepped
forward, but the captain said: 81 only

san FRANCISCO, March III. Scott
a wealth coffee planter of Guatemala,
who just arrived from there, says the
reports that Barillas hasn't made for
tune during his six years in the presi-
dency of Guatemala are absurd. He
has cleared at least $500, 900 yearly,
and his fortune is estimated by good

THE TWO ROSE BUSHRS.
BERTHA PACKARD ENGLET.

At an old log house 'gainst the wintered wall
Where the sun kissed each early bloom,
rose bush grew and branches threw
To right and left, till the wee south room
Missed Lalf the light of the window small.
That rose bush held such a wreath of blooml
For with generous hand Dame nature lent
willing hand, sweet COUNSEL and
OF velvet red, the good friend sent
Enough to deck each sprout with bloom.
From the same chip mould where this rose bush
grew,
Was another rose meath the window seat
Twas barely seen, through branches green,
OF her sisters rose. But, rapture sweet!
Not half the JOY was in the view.
Such perfume rare is not spread broadcast,
For stately rose held none at all.
Yet the same chip mould both roots did
hold,
And its SO in life. Our great and small,
Live side by side while days fit past.
Performing each his chosen part,
But the one who plants his garden here,
Knows weed and tare, and perfume rare,
Though like dwarf roses appear,
IT'S God who sees the inner heart.

BUSTING WITH AIR.
1t is much Earlier Than TO a Feather
Dnsfer. and More EffectiYe-

III Is much CARRIER Than TO Feather
Buster, and More Effective.
One of those simple inventions which
makes everybody wonde why it had not
been tbougt of before is the new device
for cleaning railway cars adopted by the
Union Paoifc railroad at its shops at
Portland, Oregon. says the Industrial
World.
Compressed air at a pressure Of fly
pounds to the square inch is carried to
the cars by means of a flexible rubber
hose with a small nozzle The appara-
tus is used III precisely the same way
that water hose is used the only diff.
ference being that campact stream of
air instead of water does the cleaning
work.
The results achieved by this device are
said to be extraordinary Not only is the
work more thoroughly done than by
beating with stick and by the use Of
brushes, but the car is cleaned in an ex-
ceedingiy short time.
