When the ship stopped she was in latitude
iS4s longitude 57.11. Tho weather was dirty
and a wicked gaze was blowing great guns from
Tic north-northwest. The ship taking the
weather in fine shape, bnt still the heavy sea
that was running came over her bows every

with the yale froze the water as fast It struck
the deck and the rigging. The distance from
Halifax was about 200 miles. and 500 miles north
esst from New-York All Friday night she lay
hove to. and when Saturday morning broke she
presented a beautiful sight, being covered with
ice from her bow 10 her crows nest. The white
coyering rose from the deck forward in great
fantastic forms, and lowered In dainty spires
that shone like rain of gems whenever the
atsy wintry light Of the. sun glinted on the
disabled ship. The rigging was inclosed an

TIE SHAFT WORKS FOR 4 WHILE.

At last the work was finished, and at o'clock
on Tuesday morning the cngircs were started up
with much anxiety. They were turned over
very slowly, indeed, but the shaft seemed to
hold and the ship made fair progress for two
hours At 8 o'clock in the morning the head
OF one OF the bolts broke and the ship lay 10
for sixteen hours till new bolt was put in. At
. o'clock that night she started up again. and
ran until 6 80 o'clock on Wednesday night
Then another bolt broke, and ii required till
& 80 D. IN. or Wednesday TO repair it. The Ell
Cincs were started up again at that time and
the vessel worked her way slowly along the
coast at the rp,e OF about six knots an hour.
Luckily the weather was modcrating steadily
and the sea was calming daily. On Thursday

The First Use Of Nanlsins.

A French writer, who evidently
was conservative and did not well
come the napkin kindly. records
with scorn:
The napkin is placed under the
chin and fastened in the back, as if
one were going to be shaved. A
person told me that he wore his that
way that he might not soil his beau
tiful frills.
It was a difficult matter to tie the
TWO corners in the back, and it is
said that thence originated our
expression for straitened circum.

clearing away much Of this, but
shortly after clearance the street Is
as full of paper again. 1t is OBJ

The stormy reirer. Endurance.

During a recent trip across the
Atlantic the passengers on one
steamer had a vivid illustration Of
the endurance of the stormy petrol.
Shortly after the ship left the Irish
coast two OF three of these birds
were sighted at the stern of tho
ship. One had been caught at some
previous time, and its captor tied n
bit of red flannel or ribbon round
its neck and let it go. The bit OF
red made the bird very conspicuous,
and it could be easily identified.
That bird, with others that could
not be so easily distinguished, fol-
lowed the ship clear across the
ocean. Rarely, during the daytime
at least, was it out of sight, and If
for an hour OF two it was lost TO
view while feeding on the refuse
cast overheard it soon reappeared,
and the last seen Of it was within
few miles of Sandy Hook, when it
disappeared, perhaps to follow some
outward bound steamer back TO Ire
land. When the fact is considered
that the ship, day and night, went
at an average speed of nearly TWEEN
ty miles an hour, the feat performed
by the daring traveller can be better
appreciated When or how it rested
is inexplicable. st Louis Globe

Ieur Nnt Hebreus.

The word Hebrew now has but one
meaning, and that's adead language.
We are Jews because we are adher-

There is an impression in the minds
