The Nenr Sighted Professor.

Professor Wise is an absentminded
man, yet so thoroughly genial and
unaffected in his observation-disclosures
that it never occurs to any one tt
take offense. at it.
1t SO happened that the professor
arrived late one winters afternoon
in a small western town, intent up
on visiting an old college chum whom
he had not seen for many years Ar
irving at the house lie was shown i'm
mediately to his room, where he pre-
pared himself for dinner before meet
ing his host $ family
When the various stains of travel
were removed, he descended. The
drawing room door was open, but
the lights were not yet lighted A
bright fire was burning i'll the CRATE,
and somebody's head was just visi-

front of it. The professor is a bit
near sighted. but he could see that
there was some one in the chair. So
he tiptoed softly up behind it and
patted the occupant ON the head.
"Hello!' he said Warming up
your shins as you used to do.
And then his old chum's wife,
whom he had never met before. rose
out of the chair to greet him -Bos

A eRnHTFuL WRECK.
Not Woman Was Saved, and the specta-
Gle Was Appalling.

Gle Was Appalling.
Perhaps the most frightful wreck
on the American coast was that OF
the White Star steamship Atlantic
at Marrs island. near Halifax, at .
o'clock in the morning Of March 81,
1873 Five hundred and sixty per
ished out of a total Of 97s persons.
The disaster was SO tremendous
that the newspapers at first regarded
the news as an attempt to perpetrate
a cruel April fool hoax
Without the slightest warning the
steamer struck on rock The sea
carried away the port boats. Before
the weather boats could be cleared
the ship rolled over. I've sounds
that arose from below decks were
soul stirring. Most of the women
and children were down there in the
darkness wailing pitifully
The captain ordered the passenger
to climb into the rigging and t.
crowd forward where the wreck was
highest and out of reach of the
waves The officers Of the ship got
line to rock about 40 yards dis
tant and then managed to get foul
other lines across. About POO people
managed to reach the rock. Be
tween the rock and the shore was a
gulf of about 300 feet aud rope was
stretched over this Fifty persons
reached the island and aroused the
inhabitants, who furnished boats
and took the half frozen survivors
from the rock. Those who still chung
to the side of the ship and the rig
ging were also rescued. :.
Not a woman was saved. The
first officer held one woman in the
rigging until she froze to death
and was left there. half nude. with
protruding eyes and foamy lips, the
CHASTITY spectacle being rendered
more terrible by the splendid jewels
which sparkled on her hands A boy
who hung onto the icy rigging neal
the dying woman was washed away
but he managed to reach a boat
The last man i'll the rigging was the
first officer, who was saved through
the heroic efforts of the Rev. Mr.
Ancient.
Many of the passengers, saloon
and steerage, died in the rigging
from cold and fright The sea washed
away the women and children. anG
the shore Of the island was sool
thickly strewn with the dead. The
natives plundered the bodies and
mutilated the hands of the women
in order to get their rings
One woman was seen III the waves
holding two children, while third
had its little arms around her neck
She went down almost instantly
and the loud, passionate cry of the
poor mother as she sank with her lit
tie ones could be heard all over the
wreck. New York Herald

Where There is no Afternoon
hdia5,dooiis Journai,

Strangers to Washington often re-
mark upon the custom of addressing one
at all times of the day by the uniform
salutation of TGood morning" 1t sounds
odd to a Ncsterner to hear one address
him with Good morning al 5 o'clock
in the afternoon.
This custom is as old as the Congress
of the | nited States aud the hours of
executive business in the various de-
partments. 1t is said to be directly due
10 the morning hour in Congress. The
standing rules of the two houses If Con-
gresS, provide for a tmorning hour. :.
which extends from II to- O'Clock. and
that provision has made il common to
refer to "morning business" in Congress
which occurs before 1.-THE regular order. =
Frequently the regular order is not re-
sumed, and the morning hour is extend
ed until 1 or ) O'Clock, especially in the
latter days of Congress and when there
is Il great jam of business. In the eX-
ecutve departments reference is made
10 the ''mornlng's work" during the
entire day. This is all of course. off
cial parlance. The custom has grown
so that ii extends throughout social life
and in all sorts of private business. until
it is morning until all government bust
ness is an end in Washington. When
the sun goes down and twilight sets in
it is Good evening" II is never after
noon in the national capital.

scot, near where Hon. II. NJ. Heath and
+. +. Sou'hard were camping last week
and fell through the ice into large air
hole. He carried rife and grip sack.
He grasped for the ice but vas unable
to get hold. Being very strong swim
mer he was able to keep to the top.
Being unsuccessful in getting hold suffi-
cient to allow him to leap out. he finally
conceived the idea that the only plan
was TO swim to the upper end of the air
hole and drift down rapidly. He reached
the upper end and with the aid of the
rapid current and swimming strongly,
he was washed out on solid ice, He
had good reason to congratulate himself
over being a fine swimmer. He was
very cola and vet when he reached the
camp ot Me>sr>. Heath and Southland -
