THEY WOULD NOT DIE.
Stories of Two Women Who Were Very
Near to Death.

One OF the earliest wrecks recorded on
the coast of America was that of Dutch
vessel on Sandy Hook in 1920. The
captain, passengers and crew contrived
10 ~vade the Indians, and in the long
boat arrived safely in New York, except
ing man and woman named Van Prin-
els. He was wounded Mt the time Of the
wreck and mad TO be left behind with his
faithful young wife, Penelope. by her
aid he managed to find shelter in the
neighboring woods, where she nursed
him, until they were discovered by the
savages. Tigers could not have been
more mcrciless TO these helpless cast
aways. They murdered the husband,
and cleaving the woman's skull and fear
fully slashing her body, left her for dead,
rs they supposed. But she seems to have
possessed constitution of iron, for she
revived and crept into hollow tree,
where she actually kept alive seven days.
On the seventh day a deer passed her
with arrows sticking in its side This
WAS evidence that Indians were at hand.
Rendered desperate 10y hunger and pain,
and preferring immed diate death to con-
tinuahce OF this lingering starvation, the
young woman crawled forth from her
asylum as two Indians reached the spot.
One was for finishing her at once with a
blow of his tomahawk, but the elder
Indian, moved perhaps by a shrewd de-
sire To- profit, interposed, took her to his
wigwam, ond 10y the application of SIM
plies, cured her wounds. When she was
able to bear the journey he took her to
New York, where she was ransomed for
what wus IA very large sum according to
the price of captives in the Indian stock
exchange. This most remarkable hero.
inc afterward married Richard Stout.
and died in l7l2 at the age of one hun.
drcd and ten, after seeing 502 of her
descendants.
Her story reminds us of the episode
told Of Margaret Erskine, who was laid
in the family vault, apparently dead. A
ring left ON her finger had attracted the
Cnpidity of two OF the attendants at her
funeral. They invaded the vault and in
order to remove the ring cut the finger
She started up in her coffin. Horror
struck. the robbers fled, and she walked
home in her Shroud and tapped on the
door. Her husband recognized her
knock and ran to the door, saying, ut
is nv Margaret Her son, the famous
Lord Erskiue. was born year after
his mothers funeral. - Worthiugton's
Magazine.

How Swordiish Can Fight.

Strength of a Whale.

Sir William Turner, the eminent anat.
omist of the University of Edingburgh,
Scotland. with the help of Glasgow
ship. builder, has been making some cal
culations as To the strength of whale
The size and dimensions OF a great whale
stranded some time since on the Scotch
coast furnished the necessary data. This
whale was 50 feet long, 20 feet across
the langes of the tail, and weighed 1885,
goo pounds. The professor calculates
that to attain speed of twelve miles an
hour. an ordinary rate for a whale, the
animal would have TO exert i45 horse

New Library to BE Iserdy for Oo-
cuDancy in. S9i asstsi

The university regents are sparing no
labor to make the plans for the new
library building absolutely without
fault. A special meeting WAS held at
o'clock yesterday in President North
rop'S Office. at which details of more or
less Importance were considered. The
most important matter considered was
the exact location Of the new building.
There has been considerable question
whether to place it on the area in
front of ihe line of other buildings or
on the vacant lot between the main and
mechanic arts buildings and somewhat
back. The former would be more
conspicuous location, but the latter
more convenient. 1t was decided to
place the building l30 feet back of the
sidewalk.
The building will cost S155.00O and
will be a beauty. 1t is to be l35 by lS6
feet, two stories high, with the reading
room above and the assembly hall be-
low, the latter having seating room for
500. The front of the building will re-
prodace the Athenian Parthenon, hav-
ing eight Doric piiasters twenty-five feet
eight inches III height, and fodr feet
nine inches in diameter. The building
will be ready for occupancy by Septem-
Der, 1894.
