fourteen OF the crew have thus been
landed. The other lines thrown over
the vessel parted before they could be
utilized, and the slow progress made
thus far in landing the crew is due to
the fact of having only one line aboard
the steamer. one of the crew had his
leg broken and has been removed to
the Monmouth Beach life-saving
station. Eighteen Of the crew still
remain on board. As soon as the

No Water In Daniel Webster's

DR.. Ellis, when young man, was
com missioned to e5cort Mr.. Webster to
CharlestoWn, where the orator was to
deliver his famous address on the
dedication of the Bunker Hill monu-
ment. On the way over, says the Bos-
ton Daily Globe, Mr. Webster inquired,
as they neared the end of the bridge,
whether it WAS possible to secure a
little brandy that the Senator might
have before making his great effort
The young clergyman to whom this in
quiry was addressed IN a confidential
tone piloted Mr.. Webster to the house
of Boston merchant who lived in
Charlestown.
This merchant was so embarrasse d
by the honor of the great statesman 8
presence that he brought out not one
but several decanters of the best liquor
he had in the house Mr.. Webster
carefully searched out the vessel con-
tanning the brandy, and poured from it
drink that to-day would be gene rally
termed "a bath" and drank the liquor
IN few complacent gulps. The anxi-
ously obliging merchant inquired of
Mr.. Webster whether he would not
like a glass of water. The Senator
looked up calmly, and in his most mag
nlhcent tones replied, ur banely:

Why People Yawn and Stretch.

We feel inclined to stretch because
the muscles Of the body are in fatigued
state, and by stretching we seem to
awaken them to the proper tone for re-
newed action. Moreover, the muscles
of respiration share in this fatigue and
perform their work imperfectly. Hence,
we often yawn as well as stretch, the
mouth gapes and the jaws are separated
widely so as to admit as much air as
possible. According to Richeraud, "the
Growing of the cock and the Tapping of
his wings are intended to serve the
same purpose" as stretching and yawn-
ing with u.s. Most animals stretch
themselves upon waking from sleep
