One Man For Whom Death by Drowning
 Had No Terrors.

One Man For Whom Death by Drowning
 Had No Terrors.
 "I can only recall one experience in which I may be said to have faced death, said T. B. Bryan That was during a voy ago across the Atlantic several years ago. We had been out two or three days and had been having some pretty rough weath- CT It cullninated ono night in a terrific storm. The waves rose mountain high, and our ship was tossed about like a cork. A portion of tho upper deck was carried away, and some of tho saloon partitions wore stove in. Tho noise made by the waves as they dashed against tho sides of the vessel sounded liko tho booming of cannon, and many of the passengers crouched in their cabins, waiting in nior tai terror and expecting every moment to feel the ship sinking was confined to my cabin by illness, but as had been us sured by tho captain that there was no danger 1 did not share tho fear of my fcl- low passengers. However, had the storm continued in its fury or had the boat been less stanch VIC would in all probability have been food for fishes or have had to rely on the meaGer support of tho small boats. A fellow passenger evidently had sublime faith in tho captains ability 10 pull her through or was exceedingly indif- ferent to his fate. In tho midst of the up roar caused by the dashing waves, the breaking of timbers and tho outcrics cf the passengers ho lay peacefully in hi cabin, sound asleep. He was an invcterate snorer and during the lulis tho music ol his nasal organ could be heard with rcas- surfing regularity. His wife rushed in tho cabin, crying, Lucicn, oh, Lucien, tEe vessel is sinking!
 ''Lucien turned over, partially awc.;2 and murmured Sinking, are wei (Snoic.l Well, let her (snore) sink. What arc you (snoro) going to do (snore) about it!'
 His wife said afterward that his vicw of the situation treasured her moro than anything else could have dono. '-Chicagt Tribune.

Aweddine Breakfast.

Tho whole party, all of Pistoia, on tho Apennincs, somo 40 in number, now pro ceeded to the rinfresco. On tho coarse clean tablecloth lay great hunks of excel lent brown, homemade bread, each piece about the size of an ordinary loaf These were eaten with slices of raw ham about a quarter of an inch thick. After the bread and ham appeared huge pieces of schiac- ciata, a country cake made of the ordinary dark four, favored with anise, and put to rise like bread. After the schiacciata small cheeses were produced, and lastly piles of waferlike biscuits (cialde). Mean while drinking had been going on freely. In the middle of the table stood two gil gantic bottles of country wine, while smaller flasks were passed merrily about When full justice had been done to the wine, light liqueur called rinfresco was drunk out of small glasses, as well as an other liquor, tho reverse of light, consist ing, wc arc told, of rum and gin or rum und brandy.

A BIT OF ROMANCE.
A Fruit Girl Who Became tho w'ifo of an
 Ohio Legislator.

OHiO hstBtstatoTs
 An interesting and romantic bit of truth can bo told concerning the carly life of tho wife of one of Ohio's most gifted legisla- tors. Twenty years ago in small Ohio town nestled among the hills uf the Heck ing valley lived little girl of 8 years, with black eyes, short, curly hair, clear brunette skin and known by the appropriate name, Gypsy. The men who were commercial travellers in those days who were frequent ly along the road will remember Gypsy as she swung herself on tho car steps as the train pulled in, with blue coat and cap and large basket of fruit and confcc- tionery on her arm. She would pass from coach to coach disposing of her wares. She rode to and from the depot in tho great bus or on passing drays and would make frequent sales on route. Gypsy was a general favorite both with tho citizens on the train and with the travelling public. The little girl was tho main support of tho family, as both tho father and brother were addicted to drink. At the age of f4 Gypsy realized she could not we'll continue the work she had so long and successfully engaged in. Tho operators and depot em- ployees were greatly interested in tho child, and generous, we'll to do, elderly man rendered her as loan sum suffi. cient to meet necessary expenses while shO studied tclcgraphy. The offer was accept ed. Later she went to Columbus and ac- cepted position as operator and it was here the legislator met her, admired, ,wooed and won her. Her husband was elected to asccond term as representative and proved an active, valuable member of the house His wife was always admired and loved. She was always bright and viyacious. Her many friends were gratified that her lines should have fallen in such pleasant places, as she so justly deserved they should.- Columbus Journal.

A big, good looking horse, attached to covered wagon and standing in front of bakery, stepped up on the curbstone in his eagcrness to meet the driver, who was at that moment coming out of the bakery door with smile upon his face and doughnut in each hand. He gave the horse first one and then tho other, and the horse ate them with evident enjoyment.-New Xnrl- G,r,

The King and Hi. Valet.

Louis XIV, king of France, had for his valet worthy individual, though of grave disposition and but little given to testing. One evening, as he was leaning over bal cony and waiting till his majesty should retire to rest, Louis XIV came out of his room, and being in frolicsome mood, ill becoming his dignity, but tempted by tho favorable attitude of the valet. hc dealt him violent slap on the back. The man turned around to return the blow, but on seeing the king he said: Hang it, sire! wfy don't you go and play jokes on your als?"-Mondo Umoristico.

h Law F%orbiddlng the Commissioner
TO Reduce Pensions without Notice
Does Not Apply to Cases Acted
on Before Its Passage
Tho P~ensloning Of
Children.

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-Assistant
Secretary Reynolds has rendered three
decisions In pension appeal cases. In
the first he holds that while the COM
missioner Of pensions Is forbidden by
law TO suspend payment Of . pension
pending proceedings to annul or re-
duce IL, nevertheless, in case such PEN
sion 10 annulled, oil unpaid pensions
apparently accrued ut the date of the
annulment becomes illegal and must
not be paid.
In the second case the secretary
holds that the law forbidding the COM
missioner TO reduce pensions without
thirty days notice does not apply to
cases acted on before It's passage.
In the third case It is held that as
the act pensioning the children OF a
sailor who are under ID years of q
expressly provides that the pensions
shall begin from the date Of the fling
OF the application for the pension, a
claimant who was over 10 years old
when the act was passed has no claim
for pension at all.

Statement for the Year Of Imports, Ex-

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-A statement
OF the imports, exports and immigration
Of the United States during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1893, shows
as follows: Merchandise, exported,
ss07, 500, POI; last year, es91 ,0O7, 700;
merchandise imported, S73l, 900, $40, of
which about one-half was free of duty;
merchandise imported in 1894, s64S,.
775,0l7; of which S372, 1888 was free

ported during the last fiscal year
amounted to 500, 31,1s3, and the i'm.
ports, s35, 9S4, 440.
The exports last year, therefore,

exceeded the imports by:sS4, 53s, 042.
The exports of silver during the last
year aggregated S40, 226,6l2, against
S0,5ls.0 2s in imports. This is a slight

migrants who arrived in this country
was go, 1856, against 3ll,6i2 during the
