A Novel Way of Saving Vessel.

One of the most brilliant pieces OF
ocean wrecking seamanship on record,
whereby the vessel, far out in the At
lantic with her cargo on fire, was
saved and brought safely to port, was
performed on board the American ship
John Jay, commanded by Captain
Samuel Jackson.
When two weeks out the cargo was
discovered to be on fire. The cap
tain determined upon his course OF
action. He had the carpenter lowered.
over the rail and instructed him to
bore several holes low down by the
water-line. The vessel was then put
on the other tack SO that she would be
heeled over on the side where the
holes had been made.
The water shot through these open
ings, and after the ship had been al
lowed to sink almost to the level Of the
deck. she was put around on the 9TH
er tack again, SO that the holes came
within two or three feet of the top of
the water. Several of the sailors with
lines made fast under their arms and
holding long wooden pegs and ham,
mers, slid down along the side steady
inc, tbamselves nv roDeS that had been
passed under the vessel and hauled
taut, so that they came alongside OF
the holes. The tapering pins were
thrust into the openings and knocked
tight, then the vessel was put before
the wind, to get her on an even keel,
and the crew turned to and pumped
her out. -Harper's Young People.

Three Kinds of Corpuscles in Blood.

Besides the red and white blood
corpuscles (the only two described by
the average physiologist there is
third kind in the blood of mammals,
but the exact nature of its elements IS
not as yet fully understood. 1t was
eleven years ago Q9S3) that Professor
Bizzozero first made known the exist
ence of this third element in the
blood, (see Smithsonian report for
1888, page 1859, and the majority OF
physicians and writer's on physiology
have not yet learned that such dis
covery has ever yet been made. This
new corpuscle is colorless lens-shap-
ed disk, very minute, being scarcely
one-h half the size of the red corpu-
scles, and wholly destitute of haemo-
globin. Bizzozero says that they are
especially interesting on account OF
their supposed physiological relations.
1t is claimed by our eminent authori-
ties that they are the chief factors in
coagulation and that fibron is derived
from their disintegration. This view
is entirely different from those pre-
viously enunciated, which chiefly re-
ferred the fibron to the breaking down
of the white corpuscles.
Recent investigation on the blood
of birds and amphibians reveals an
homologous element with the newly
differentiated corpusce-pale, nu-
cleated blood-plates, whose functions
are similar to the third blood corpu-
sole in mammals. st. Louis Globe

Origin of a Famous Rose.

There is an interesting story about
the origin of the American Beauty,
1t was grown in Washington, and here
it attained its renown. The late Hon.
George Bancroft, besides being a his
torian and scholar, was one OF the
first amateur rose-growers in Ameri-
ca. Every year he imported cuttings
from the leading flower growers OF
Europe. The king of Prussia-when
old Kaiser Wilhelm was king-allowed
the American historian to have slip
of whatever he might fancy in the
royal conservatories. Mr.. BancrofJ'e
gardener used to cultivate some OF his

roses in an old house away out on +.
or perhaps it was G. street, above
Twenty second street, in the west
end of the city. Mrs. Grant
had q florist named Field in
charge of the White House conserva-
tory. He wasa rose-grower OF rare
merit and skill in his artistic work.
One day he happened into the old
building where Mr.. Bancroft's garde-
ner potted his plants and budded his
roses. Over in corner ne observed
rose of variety utterly unknown to
him, and of wonderful size and per-
fection in form and color. "Where
did this come from?" he carelessly in
quired of his rose growing confrere.
ooh it is an offshoot from some cut
tings we had imported from Germany,
the man replied. 1t was evident to
Mr.. Field that the other did not in the
least comprehend the value OF the new
plant. After some talk Mr.. Field
bought the cuttings he had seen for
$5. A year thereafter, when he had
propagated his new purchase, and be-
come convinced that he had new and
very valuable variety of rose, which
he named the American beauty, he
sold his find for $5, 900 the most won
derful result of the investment OF $5
on record. To follow his luck little
further, Mr.. Field invested his easily
earned SIS, 900 in lands near the city,
which in a little less than three years
were sold for $50, 900. Truth is some
times stranger than fiction. In this
instance it certainly Washington

The Good of Today.

n, better days that mortals sing
when all we're happy as the spring;
Whom none knew want or discomfort;
No back by selfishness was bent;
When hearts were pure and heads wer
sound:
When not grumbler could be found q
If folk we're wiser, better then,
PRAY tell us where it was and when.
For brighter days let mortals sigh,
And hope for fortune by and by
Prosperity to fill the land,
With plenty strewn on every hand;
When all men shall be wise and good,
Bound up in one grand brotherhood
But point some of the men
Who are to be contented then
'Tis in the future or in the past
Ambitious man must live at last,
He looks behind or hopes before,
Despising all his present store;
Forcets all blessings of today.
And follows fancy far away.
What man has not he magnifies,
And pleasure with possession dies.

He turned the white, colorless fluid,

Yes, Duff heard. He lifted his
poor stricken head and looked with
loving eyes into his masters face, and
tried to lick the hands that were touch
ing him with caressing tenderness.

and stretched himself out for sleep

Big Official Salaries in England.

1t is interesting to note that the sal
arv of the late Lord Chief Justice Col
eridge was $40, 900 a year, while that
of the Chief Justice of the supreme
court of the United States is so, 900.
The difference between the salaries OF
these two officials is no greater, how
ever. than that between other high
officials in England and this country,
The lord chancellor receives $50, 600 a
wear while in office and pension for
life of $25, 900. The lords of appeal
get $50, 200, and all the other judges
$25, 900. The income of the British
Encouragement is at least $50, 600 q
year, against salary of SO, 600 for the
Encouragement of the United States.
The latter figure is the salary OF our
secretary of state, while all the En-
glish secretaries of state get $25, 900 a
year, and after serving for certain
time they are entitled to $40, 900 a
year for life. Altogether it will be
seen that the high officers in England
are very handsomely paid when COM
pared with those in this country, and
the bench is about the best-paid of all.

THE PASSING OF DUFF.

On tranquil summer evening,
when all the world seemed at peace,
an unquiet man walked through one
of the side streets of a city which was
bordered by great expanse of water.
A handsome brown retriever followed
at his heels, and occasionally touched
with caressing muzzle the clenched
hand which hung rigidly at his mas
ters side. Then the man would look
around and cry sternly: ''To heel,
Duff and the dog would obediently
fall back with a saddened and detected
air.
1t was late and few people were
moving. The striking of the city
clocks, the whistle of passing steam
er, or all occasional footstep, accentu-
ated the silence, and localized sounds
which amid the whirr and confusion
of the day were hardly discernible. .
When the man had passed the city
docks and was walking along a stretch
of water front where several large,
heavily laden boats were anchored, he
stopped and looked about him for a
moment Then he took off his coat,
folded it, and laid it on the dry, foot
worn shore.
"Here, Duff Take care of it, old
fellow. You hear me! Don't let any
one touch that coat there's a good
Duff.
The dog looked up into his masters
face and there was a pathetic mingl
ing of canine emotions in his faithful
brown eyes. 1t seemed as if he were
pleading to go along, but at the same
time promising Loyalty to be true to
any trust reposed in him. Then he
stepped carefully on the coat, circled
once or twice, and dropped heavily
with half human sigh.
Good old dog, faithful old fellow"
said the man, patting the sleek brown
head, ''there is nothing left for me,
but there must be some good thing
for you. Fate can have no grudge
against you. I would gladly change
places with you tonight. Good-by,
old fellow
Then he rose to his feet and looked
to the sky; the stars swan in sea Of
mist that had somehow got into his
eyes.
'Pshaw!" he said, 81 may be a
fool, but will not be coward-yet
what am I doing but deserting the
only friend I have But he will for
get, even as others have done," and
without another glance at the watch
ing dog he walked away and disap-
peared in the shadows of the night.
The dog looked after him, but made
no sound. AS if resigned to long
and patient watch he curled himself
close into the coat and appeared to
sleep. But his eyes were wide open,
staring into the darkness.
Along toward morning a waning
moon rose and revealed the faithful
animal, the dew cleaning on his curly
nalr. A tramp moving from the friend
y retreat of lumber pile saw him,
and covetously regarded the coat on
which he was lying. He picked up a
stick and advanced threateningly, but
'ne savage growl of the furious AMI
NAL dismayed him, and he went OF
with curse.
Daylight came and with it the rum

sat up and looked far away in the dl-
