WAS there no lifeboat ashore? Yes;
and as fine a fisherman crew as ever
pulled into the teeth of gale. Three
times that lifeboat was launched.
Bless you, it was blown back like an
empty bladder.
They had a rocket apparatus ashore.
Four rockets were fired. Two were
bent back like a coachman's whip, and
two fell half way. / tell you it's a
hard thing for strong and willing men
to fold their arms while human beings
are perishing before their eyes.
after bit those on the shore heard
sound like the report of distant can

broken. She burst in two amidships,
the mainmast fell over the side to lee

gan waving, one this way and the other

''All on the shore knew what was
going to happen now. The broken wa
ter, which had been white and boiling,
grew black and heavy with human
forms, and soon cargo and bodies began
to come ashore.
when this happened it was growing
dusk. BY night the wind had fallen to
breeze. Sixteen living and fifty-seven
dead had come ashore. The living
were taken up TO the village of Mynhin,
and the dead, men, women and chill
dren, were laid out in one long, CHASTITY
line on the beach above highwater At
each end of the line fire was lighted.
One young coastguard was set to tend
the fires and watch the dead, while
every other person old enough and
strong enough was engaged in saving
and securing the cargo.
ITO his dying day that coastguard
who watched by the dead will never
forget the night. AS the clothes of the
victims dried they began to stir in the
breeze. Scores of times he thought he
saw leg or an arm or a head raised.
Scores of times he thought he heard a

A state Soda Fountain.

1t may sound like a Munchausen
yarn, but it is an actual fact that in
the squint-eyed little burg of Sodaville,
in Linn county, in block eight of the
town plat there is a soda spring, and
that the last legislature in its infinite
wisdom provided that 'inasmuch as
there is a great and growing demand
on the part of the public for the waters
of said spring" the state would spend
five hundred dollars TO improve it.
This, at last, the fond realization of the
long-felt want which has been loafing
around the country like the ghost of
boyhood's happy days in quest of a
watermelon patch where happily lin

How Cigarettes Are Made.

The details of the manufacture of
cigare ties are kept to a greater or less
degree secret by the manufacturers;
each of whom has his own particular
combination of tobaccos. None of the
brands on the market is composed of
one kind only. The recipe is not di-
vulged outside of the firm. But this is
not all. The original mixture is mere
ly basis for artificial havoring. To
begin with, various essential oils are
added. The list of these includes rose,
rose geranium, vanilla bean, Tonka
bean and licorice root. These lngredi-
ents are added after the tobacco has
been chopped into shreds in readiness
to be rolled into cigarettes Finally
the particular drug chosen, in the
shape of liquid solution. is sprayed on
the material with an atomizer, while
the tobacco is stirred and mixed. The
quantity employed is very carefully
judged, so many drops being allowed
for each cigarette. For obvious reasons
cannot mention all the drugs that are
used in the manufacture of cigarettes,
but there is no doubt that opium, va
.erian and cannabis indica are utilized
to the largest extent Each manufac-
turer may be said to create a special
drug habit among those who use his
brand, so that they are not satisfied
with any other.-Troy Times.
