Old Hotels.

The closing Of the Grand Pacific hotel
at Chicago is an illustration of the fate
that overtakes all hotels and houses in
habited by many people at one time
The Grand Pacific had a prosperous ca
reer of % years, quite as long as the
average age Of even the best hotels. The
walls and floors Of houses Of public en-
tertainment get hard usage. Tragedies
are enacted in them all, drunken m en-
go on furious sprees and stay in hotel
rooms to sober up. The fiercest and
oftentimes the worst passions Of human
ity have play among those who throng
within hotel doors. More than all, what
DR.. Holmes calls the still, sad odor of
humanity in time permeates all their
walls and draperies. The shadows of the
despair, the scheming, the restlessness,
the atmospheres Of the stale tobacco
smoke, of the great unwashed thousands,
float upon the air and are breathed in
by each denizen Of the place in his turn
The building assumes an old fashioned,
dilapidated look. Even where it is kept
repaired the same f'still, sad odor of hui
manity'' pervades it, The luxurious and
snowy hotel Of less than a generation
past must go. The same is true of the
great apartment houses in cities Even
the best of them become rickety and run
down in a comparatively few years.
"All houses wherein men have lived
and died are haunted, these most OF

servers, and in few minutes the surf
boat was speeding over the treacherous
waters, now calm as an inland lake and
in another moment broken by ridges and
hollows as rough as the stormy sea.
When the strong river current and the
inrushing tide met, the commotion was
like that Of tidal wave over high
sandy bar. Yet the rowers made the two
miles in 80 minutes and found a man
in the water lashed to an upturned skiff.
He was cut loose and hauled into the
surfboat, and then the keeper discovered
that the skiff was not the one sighted
from the lighthouse hill He had used
glass when on the outlook and had dis
tinguished her color. The rescued man
stated that he had had a companion when
the slzif capsized, but that he had gone
to the bottom.
The surfboat was headed toward shore
with the rescued man. Meanwhile the
keeper scanned the surface of the water,
but saw no trace Of the first sl1iff. Max
ing land at the nearest beach, which
was Sand island, the life savers found a
boat drifting in the breakers that an
swered to the description of the one seen
by the keeper. After bailing the surf
boat the party set out again and pulled
desperately to the windward in the di-
rection Of the first wreck. The keeper
stood in the bow with his eyes strained
upon the sea. Finally he detected a
small black object rising and falling on
the foam Of the breakers, about 500
yards from shore Drawing nearer, the
object proved to be several cork floats,
part of a wrecked fishing net, and in the
center Of the latter, underneath, the
head Of a man. The head at times total
ly disappeared, when the almost lifeless
body would be buried under the foam
Of the wild surf. Every man of the crew
understood at a glance what had hap
pened. The fisherman had become en-
tangled in a net by the action Of a sud-
den wind. The boat had capsized, yet
being free and light, had been blown
away, while the poor fishermen, strug-
Cling to free themselves from the mesh
had become the more hopelessly shared.
All hands on the surfboat clutched at
the net and hauled a large section of it
to the side Of the boat. The work Of dis
entaDgling the poor fellow was great
His limbs were tightly bound as by hui
man hands, and every button of his coat
was wound about by the small cords of
| tho net With feverish haste the life
savers worked, knowing that there was
not moment to lose. After freeing him
the oarsmen pulled back to shore while
the keeper attempted to restore circula-
| ton in the rescued man. Two hours
were spent by the port surgeon and his
helpers in bringing the nearly lifeless
form into activity.
The whole adventure Of those brave
volunteer life savers lasted about three
hours. Although the imperiled lives
were few, yet the excitement, even when
the quest narrowed down to single
human life, was intense. The man Last
rescued had had companion, and it
was their boat which the keeper had seen
capsized Both catastrophes had occur
red at the inrushing Of the flood tide,
the belated fishermen remaining too long
in the effort to save their nets.

over; the yawl had showed off and on

over; the yawl had showed off and on
striking the breakers quickly capsized.
Two men chung to the yawl, but the
strong undertow cast them back every
time they drifted near shore and gal
liant rescue was made by the surfmen
Joining hands, a line was formed reach
ing ont into the breakers The man far
thest out caught line attached to the
yawl and towed the boat in, saving both
men. A third man had been seen before
tho boat capsized. He sank hear where
the yawl went over, and the ships mess
senger, who had been watching from q
distance, recognized him as the captain.
The men rescued were too weak to stand,
besides being chilled through, and part
Of the crew labored to save them while
others prepared the surfboat for heroic
attempt to get off to the wreck before
dark. One Of the men refused to risk
his life in the leaking craft during such
sea and was promptly discharged for
mutiny. Nothing daunted, the others
took the oars and succeeded in getting
the boat beyond the breakers, but the
first comber encountered half filed it
with water, so that one of the already
short handed crew was kept busy bail
ing. The leak also enlarged and water
came in almost as fast as one man could
bail it out. But the oars1nen nerved
themselves for a powerful effort, and
with gallant dash put the boat along
side the vessel Luck seemed to turn in
an instant, for after taking off the four
survivors and bailing out the surfboat
the brave fellows made quick dash for
land and beached the boat without a
mishap. Six lives saved by their prompt
ness was the record Of a days work
ushered in by accidents and marked
throughout by stubborn recklessness on
the part Of the master Of the imperiled
sailors.
A moro marvellous rescue still, but not
moro gallant, occurred at the mouth Of
the Columbia river, Washington, one
day in May, 1884. About o'clock in
the afternoon that day the keeper of the
cape station stood on a high point near
the cape lighthouse, maintaining a
watch, for the wind was blowing a strong
sea over the bar into the mouth of the
river, where the fishermen in skiffs were
busy casting their nets. Suddenly he
saw a s]1iff containing two men capsize
in the wild outer breakers at least two
miles from tho lighthouse. Springing
down the hill, he picked up half a dozen
volunteers, hurried them to the station,
where they were equipped with life pre-

Summer School.

III
! wish to again call the attention Of
teachers to the summer school for
Mile Laos and Sherburne counties. to
be held at Elk River beginning july
9Th, 1895, and lasting four weeks. The
conductor and assistant are said to be
OF the best in the teaching force, and
we expect very profitable term.
Those who have ambition to be well
to the front, in their work, will attend
these schools as no where else can
they do so much in SO short a time and
at so small cost. I have not heard
really progressive teachers say that
they did not get more out of the sum-
mer school than they expected, but I
have heard the remark that sit did
me no good" and it was no doubt true.
for I knew of nothing that would.
Some feel that they can i'll afford the
expense. Well! you would not prefer
to employ a doctor who thought he
could not afford to prepare himself for
his work because he could not afford
to go to medical school. The same
reasoning applies to the teacher, and
most school boards talk that way.
Any one wishing board or rooms will
please write me soon, and 1 will find a
place ''or make one."

Economy.
'Economy'' is a word often in peo-
pies mouths, especially in so-called
hard times. Commonly it is used as
meaning an abrupt cutting down of ex.
penses, which is not in accordance
with the correct meaning of the word
The original definition is, 1.-The man.
agement of household or domestic at:
fairs" and so we may speak of an &C.
ton being good or bad "economy.'
The fifth definition in Importance is.
''saving and sparing in expense" and
in applying this to practice, people
give it the meaning which ought
rather to belong to ''stingy," ''penur-
ious," or 'parsimonious. Though
used in common talk as interchange.
able, there is difference. Parsimon.
ious is very sparing in expenditure:
penurious is to spend as though it were
the last dollar; stingy is to be meanly
avaricious, and applies rather to means
spent for others than ourselves. True
economy is such management of our
means, such spending of our money as
shall procure for US the greatest value
in exchange therefor. True economy
is often shown in purchasing a good
article at fair price, rather than an
inferior one at a cheap rate. It is
economy to buy your railroad ticket
via the Huntington, because you get
the best in service, safety, speed an6
comfort at the same price you would
pay for far inferior accommodations
Your home ticket agent will assist you
to thus act economically when you
travel, or you can address for full par
ticulars (stating where you are going
