sage of man, and be forced the skipper to
crawl out first Then the captain reached
back a helping hand, and Brothers was
pulled out with the rising water rushing
up around him.
They crept up TO the keel, and soon the
natural buoyancy Of the timber stopped the
vessel from sinking farther. Not a sign of
any of the crew did they see, and they were
forced to the conclusion that all but them
selves had perished.
For four terrible days and nights they
remained perched on the curved surface Of
the wreck, tasting neither food nor drink,
drifting at the mercy of the seas. Byday
the brazen equatorial sun poured its fierce
rays on their defenseless heads, and the
shimmering surface Of the pulseless ocean
reflected the heat until their faces were
blistered ana their eyeballs scared. BY
night the twinkling stars in the limitless
dome Of the violet sky seemed to mock at
their misery.
1t may be imagined with what delirious
Soy they halted the sight of q sail, and they
sank exhausted when they were lifted to
the deck of the Boston schooner Flora Cut

the clouds, which had been lowering and

rain came down. Of course there was a
grand stampede for the shelter of the
doorway. The young man and his best

alone remained standing in front of the

Captain James Morgan. weather beaten
English skipper, tells story Of the stran
gest shipwreck ON record. 1t occurred in
January Of the year 1S7-, at which time he
was making a return cruise TO England
from Melbourne, his vessel being the Nancy
Dane of Liverpool
The voyage had been singularly unevent
ful until the region of calms was struck of
the northeast coast of Brazil After laying
for day and n night without breath OF
wind to flutter the sails the vessel sudden
" began to behave in most peculiar an
alarming manner, pitching and rolling rir
lently, the sails Tapping and the i.llber
creaking In every joint.
Very naturally, this wonderful conduct OF
the vessel beneath calm sky created the
greatest excitement among the c. ., two
or three of whom were utterl" .ralyzed
with terror. Captain Morgan discovered
that while there was still no wind the sea
was boiling aud tossing all around them,
and he Immediately OWNED the commotiop
was caused by the eruption Of a submarine
volcano
Fearing the worst, Captain Morgan hur
ried below to secure some valuables. Mark
Brothers, his first mate, followed at bis
heels, and barely had they reached the
cabin when tue vessel gave q fearful roll
and turned bottom up, being tipped com
pletely over.
Bruised, dazed and bewildered, the cap
tain and the mate found themselves in utter
darkness, standing in water that was up to
their knees. They called to each other, and
the sound Of their voices appalled, them.
What has happened, BrothersY" asked
the stunned skipper.
II think she has turned over, SIR" replied
the mate.
"And we are imprisoned in the cabinl"
groaned the captain. Then we are doomed
men"
Their situation indeed seemed hopeless,
but the mate was man who never gave up
hope while he breathed.
1--WE must find an AK, sir, and cut our
way out" he said.
Luckily he knew where to place his hand
on the required AK Then it was necessary
for Brothers to mount on the captains
shoulders and unbolt the hatchway in the
floor, after which he drew himself through
with the end Of rope in bis hand, which
cord he made secure. BY the aid Of this
the captain climbed up and joined the
mate, and they soon began their fearful
task of cutting through the heavy timbers

An Idea.

school of his faithful performance of the
duties of that Office for 80 years.
The presentation took placeat theclos
Of the regular exercises, and the pastor,
coming forward with the box containing
the service, made nice little speech.
The superintendent was so surprised
when it was handed to him that his eyes
filled with tears, and his voice choked UP

A little boy o years old, on going

French Cretonnes anS

French Cretonnes and American Chintzes.
All persons who have travelled in Europe
must have brought back the comfortable
impressions engendered by a French bed
chamber with its cretonne hangings, while
there is added inducement to the use of
printed cotton hangings in the fat that
wall papers are made to match in coloring
and design, the effect in use being cozy,
harmonious and tasteful. The cretonnes
and the chintzes are in the grounds seen in
the silk hanging stuffs, while the designs
are generally bold, in some cases Of flowers
of magnified size conventionalized in color
to give effect to the grounding. The best Of
the cretonnes are of epinglee or reps and
sateen textures. The American prints are
in both reps and plain textures. These
goods are 80 inches in width and vary in
price according to quality, from 15 cents to
IS cents and upward per yard, cretonnes of
exceptional excellence in quality and de-
sign commanding as much as S1.25 per
yard. The Decorator and Furnisher, quoted
in the foregoing, thinks that too much
could hardly be said by way of encourage
ment to the use OF the cotton prints for up
holstery purposes.

"BREAK THROUGH" SHOUTED THE CAPTAIN.
The vessel was still rolling violently,
which made their work all the more diff
cult. Luckily for them, the captain had
some matches in n waterproof case, and one
Of these was lighted occasionally to show
them where to deliver their blows and what
progress they were making.

it as evenly as possible in that dense and

ing, and then they were able to make bet
ter progress. They talked but little, for
their hearts were too full of horror and
dread.
After time Captain Morgan crept to the
hatchway and struck match, holding it so
he could look down. A hoarse cry broke
from his dry lips, and the match 1uttered
from his shaking fingers, being eXtin
guished instantly.
What is it2" asked Brothers.
"She's going DOWN. gurgled the skipper.
"The cabin is almost full of waterl Work,
man; work, for Gods sake"
Painting and perspiring, they took turns
at the ak, and the minutes seemed hours,
To the two wretched men it seemed they
had been imprisoned for days in that hor.

nant, and they breathed with the greatest
difficulty.
At last they perceived by the sound OF
their blows that they were almost through.
Knowing the danger Of sudden outpour,
ing Of the confined cir which helped support
the vessel, they proceeded with great care.
Suddenly as Brothers was plying the AK,
the blade cut through. Instantly the i'm.
prisoned air began to whistle through the
opening, and the vessel settled swiftly.

he should and what he should not eat
and what quantity of food he should
partake of during the course of "a hours.

down that hustlers eat very little.

How much?''
The famous inventor picked upa scrap
of yellow blotting paper lying before
him and drew upon its rough surface a
diagram. The broad brow of the thinker
contracted. It must have been diff.
cult thing to determine just how much
food substance it took to supply the sys-

that Mr.. Edison eats but "a ounces Of

No Thief viii Touch 1t.

A costly ring, unguarded by police or
other special protection, hangs suspended
to a silken cord round the neck of q
statue of the Maid of Almadena, the
patron saint of Madrid, in one Of the
most frequented parks of the Spanish
capital. It isset with valuable diamonds
and pearls, but there is not the least
danger of its being stolen. The greatest
thief in Spain would sooner steal the
plate from his own mothers coffin than
oeven so much as touch the uncanny
relics. Its history is curious and inter-
esting, being equal to anything related
in medieval folklore.
1t was made in accordance with q
special order from the late Alphonso
XII, who gave it to his cousin, the beau
tiful Mercedes, on the day of their be-
trothal. She wore it constantly daring
her short married life. Upon her death
the king presented it to his grandmother,
Queen Christina. She died soon after
accepting it, and the king then passed
the deadly little jeweled band Of gold to
his sister, Infanta de Pillar, who died
within a month after. Again the &C.
cursed eirelet started on it's deadly
rounds, next finding a place upon the
finger of Christina, daughter of the Duke
Montpensier. In less than 100 days she.
too, was dead. Alfonso then put the
cursed jewel in his own casket of precious
relics and lived less than year after
SO doing. Is it any wonder that such a
harbinger of death can safely hang on a
statue in an unguarded square.-Phila-

OLD TIME UssEAu GOWNS.

Splendors Of silk and Gold, but What on
Earth Were ''Cama'' and ''Atlas?''
Some one who has been delving into
old, musty magazines has brought to
light description of some trousseau
gowns made for Princess Charlotte when
she married Prince Leopold of Saxe-Co-
burg.
Here is the description of the wedding
gown: ''The wedding dress was a slip OF
white and silver atlas, worn under a
dress of transparent silk net, elegantly
embroidered in silver CANA with Il Dor
der to match, tastefully worked in floral
designs to form festoons round the bot.
tom, the sleeves and neck trimmed with
most rich suit Of brussels point lace"
All very fine, but what, prithee, thou
quaint old fashion writer, are ''ca,ra a.
and "atlas?" ''Mantua" is almost as OBJ
solete part of the vocabulary of fashion,
but we still recognize behind it the i'm
age of flowing cape. But 'atlas?'' 1t
is conundrum. And ''cama?" An
Egyptian riddle. It seems to have been
quite popular, whatever it was, for an
other of the trosseau gowns was of white
net embroidered in gold CANA, with bor-
der laid over white satin. In this case
the mantua was of rich gold brocade,
with blown roses richly woven in and
trimmed with gold lace. OF the other
gowns of this old time bride, one was of
transparent net richly embroidered in
the bright and dull tones of silver; an
other was of fine white india muslin
worked over in little spots wrought in
fligree gold and founced with brussels
point; another was of silver tissue
,trimmes Id silver lace.
In addition to all this gold and silver
finery, there were two whole dresses of
brussels lace, valued respectively at 300
and $50 guineas: also two of British
blond net, specially worked for her royal
highness. The last but one of the gowns
described was white muslin morning
gown, trimmed with three broad rows
of valenciennes lace. All the gowns, it
will be noticed, were white, and most of
them were gorgeous with gold and silver
thread.
But the going away gown of the Prin-
cess Charlotte is enough to make a mod
ern bride gasp. It was of the richest
white silk, trimmed with a broad foot
ruehe of white satin, headed by two
deep founces OF brussels point. The
short sleeves and low bodice-imagine a
decollete travelling gown!-were yelled
in the same lace, With this was worn
pelisse of white satin, lined with sar-
senet and trimmed with broad bands of
ermine. Unfortunately there is no de-
scription of the millinery which accom-
panied all this magnifcence. Of course
the hat must have been white and enor-
nous, with sweeping Plumes and volum-
lnous lace veil.-New York Sun,
