board" in a storm the ship is often
helpless. We have, therefore, oo, ~
tons of ships thus abandoned against
only 5000 of steamers, which latIer
in itself is large number; they were
all of the largest size, too, averaging
]. 200 tons. 1t is interesting to note,
further, that steamers collide more
frequently than ships, or the results
are more disastrous. Thus we ma
that while 45,O76 tons of steamers
were lost by collision, only II, SAY
tons of ship losses are so accounted
for. The number of vessels does not
show the same disparity, 43 OF the
former against Al of the latter, which
would indicate that small ships more
readily collide, and one may be par
doned the assumption that these are
mostly in home channels, rather than
on the high seas. OF course the hid
den rock, the fog-bedimmed rugged
headland, and the overpowerlng tenn
pest are as disastrous to the steamer
as to the ship. and we find that In
each case about half of the losses are
attributed to these more or less una
voidable causes. AS to nationality,
we find that the "death rate" of ton
mage of Britain's feet is 2.67 per cent.
and of the colonies 3.13 per cent.
The highest rate is attained by Nor
way, with 5.24 per cent, Russia be-
ing next with $40 per cent, and
Sweden with 1856 per cent, while the
lowest rate is Spain, with LOS per
cent. The sailing-ship owning states
come the highest. Britain has
heavier loss in ships than steamers,

A LOCAL magistrate at Pottstown
has established a fixed value for
slaps. A young married woman had
her husband arrested for Shaping
her, and was awarded 81 apiece for
five slaps, which the ungallant hus-
band was compelled to pay over to
the insulted wife. Whether he con-
sidered them cheap at the price is
not stated, but the woman in the
case was tickled to death over the re-
suit of her appeal to the law. What
will become OF that clause in the
statutes that permits man to chas-
tise his wife it is impossible to pre-
dict, but the Pottstown squire has
established precedent that threat
ems serious complications with the
liberties of the married men of the
commonwealth, and his decision
should be promptly sat down upon
by the higher courts.

Statistics of Disasters at Sea-COmpilcd

from the Most Authentic Sources.
A recent number of Engineering
reviews as follows the statistics of
disasters at sea collected by Lloyd's:
We hear much of the many finely
modelled ships that are built from
time to time, but little Of the many
vessels that are lost. Occasionally
displa' d in saving shipwrecked
crew; but in many cases the loss of
the good ship is only indicated by a
line or two in the list of casualties
in the daily papers. Who, for in
stance, would think that last year
sixty-eight vessels, the larger portion
ships, sailed from some port or other
and, according to Lloyd's annual re-
turn, never again were heard of, and
these, too were fairly good-sized
crafts? What of the crews? The
story can never be completed. the
sufferings may be but guessed at.
And Britain and her colonies have
more than their fair share, for while
we make up a half Of the total losses

tons which have thus passed out Of
record. The total of wrecks, too,
seems large, 1,086 vessels of $40, 946
tons, but it must be remembered that
there are probably always afoat on
the high seas over 10000, 900 tons of
shipping, which fact, although it in
creases the surprise that SO many yes
sells should be lost without any news,
indicates generally fairly low ratio
of loss, or 4 per cent. of tonnage.
1t may be accepted as testimony in
favor of steel, that of the total ton
mage loss only II per cent. was con-
structed OF this metal, while 40 per
cent was of iron and Il per cent. was
wood and composite vessels. But it
should also be noted that the iron
and wooden vessels generally are old
er so that age as well as material
may have contributed to the result.
Again. ships bulk more largely than
steamers, the latter making 43 per
cent. and ships 81 per cent. Of the
total; but age again must be consid-

skill, combined with pluck, over
brute force. It is doubtful if more
unspeakable ruff1an than Sullivan

Secluded s'Gray Cables the Home OF the
Clevelands.
Outside of the historical interest
peculiar to all New England, Buzz
Yards Bay has an added significance
to the people-it is the summer home
of ex-President Grover Cleveland.
Buzzard's Bay is that body of water
which separates the southern portion
of Cape Cod from the mainland. It's
shores are full of coy hooks and it's
restful quietude is taken advantage
Of by many residents of the crowded
cities. Small and plain cottages COM

making wealth of picturesque seen
cry. The waters of the bay are a
favorite rendezvous for sail boats and
yachts, and the blue fish which swarm
in the bay make delightful sport for
the many summer residents of its
shores.
Not far from the charming village
bay, is situated the house which in
1889 and 1890 was occupied by Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland. The dwell
ing, although plain, is good sized, but
lacks either paint or stain. A pleas
ant piazza faces toward the harbor.
1t lacks, however, the seclusion of

we give an illustration.

Irish Statistics.

The last Irish census shows a de-
cline Of population since 1881 of 49,
900. The number Of foreigners has
increased, chiefly owing to the large
immigration OF Russian Jews. The
Methodists have increased about 13
per cent. The Roman Catholics have
decreased 10 per cent, the Episco-
palians 6 per cent, and the Presby-
terians 5 per cent. But the Roman
Catholic clergy have increased.

the deep laid plans for a harvest of
corrupt control Of the State govern

only slight forecast of what we
might have expected had the pop
