tions. The child was carried away by a
heavy sea, and the wife encouraged her
husband to go forward and save himself
and leave her to her fate. He went alone,
and Firth, getting firm hold of the wom-
an, secured her In the rigging, determined
to stand by her to the last. Several who
attempted to cross to the forerigging were
lost, but few got over, until only Firth
the woman and lad remained The boy
was finally washed off as the sea rose,
but he swan CALAMITY to a fishing boat
and was saved.
By that time Firth, who was scantily
clothed and soaked through with the chill
ing water and spray which beat all about
him, had become quite helpless. Yet he
made no effort to save himself until the
woman by his side persisted from suffer
ing and exposure Firth then began to
signal the boats TO come to him and was
finally saved by the pluck of the second
volunteer hero of the day, Rev. Mr.. An
cient, an island missionary. While look
ing after the saved from the boats he saw
Firth and the woman and boy in the rig
ging and asked why they were not saved.
You cannot get them when you are
alongside, - was the answer.
Put me on board, and will get them, -
said he. Four fishermen rowed him out
to the wreck, but thinking it was certain
death to board her refused to put him on
IF am drowned, you are not respon-
sible. Put me on board,'' said he. AT
that the boy fell and was picked up, and
the boat steered for land. Once more the
missionary prevailed on the men to row
him off. The ships side was at an angle
OF so degrees, but he climbed it skillfully.
After some difficulty he got line around
Firth, with one end fast, and led and
dragged him along the rail to the main
rigging, then down the ships side to the
boat. All this was done by the single
rescuer unaided for the fishermen staid in
their skiff, and Firth was helpless from
cold and almost out of his wits.
Altogether the saved numbered 442

The Hotel Night Clerk.

1t has always been a source of wonder
among outsiders that the night clerk
should not be one of the highest salaried
officials of q hotel, instead of being, as be
actually is, one of the worst paid. Ger
tainly no day functionary except the man
ager has so much responsibility, and even
the manager is less likely to be caught
without adequate means to act. The night
clerk is proprietor, manager and supertn-
tendent combined during the most critical
hours of the "a and yet ranks in pay and
preferment far below the room clerks. In
quiries of practical men have never elicit
ed any satisfactory explanation of this, the
stock answer being that the night clerk
is often merely regarded as Waterman

ing angels for the suffering people who
got ashore, and through Clancy Brady
sent courier on horseback to arouse other
inhabitants on the island and get word
TO the nearest ports for boats 20 come to
the rescue. Then he returned to the rock,
where the situation was pitiful.
Captain Williams had remained in his
cabin, expecting to be called at 3 O'Clock,
when he would put the ships head to the
southwark and await daylight. AS has
been stated, the call was not made because
the log showed that the steamer had not
made half her run. He knew nothing Of
the situation until the vessel struck on
Meagher's rock. Hurrying on deck, he
found that the sea had carried away the
port boats, and set his officers to firing sig
nails for help and getting out the star
board boats. They were all lost when the
ship heeled. Finding his boats useless.
Captain Williams set to work to get the
people from below into the rigging, the
only safe place on the wreck The hull of
the steamer lay completely under water
and only the bow and masts were out.
Hundreds of the people had been drowned
IN their berths, but hundreds more, per-
haps half OF those on board, had rushed on
deck at the first alarm. Many Of these
went overheard in the heavy seas follow
ing the ships settling. Captain Williams
first ordered the boats cleared to save the
passengers, but the latter crowded in be-
fore the boats could be plugged and man
ned. Seeing the confusion, he ordered the
passengers into the rigging and began to
help the women to climb up He ordered
the ropes and halyards unreeved to cast
ashore and stood by to see that it was
done; also, when the first limo had been
stretched, to send passengers off first
When finally boats sent out from tho
island by Clancy and his neighboring
fisherman made for the rock, the captain
shouted to them to save the people in the
rigging, where there was the greatest dan
ger, and offered $500 for every boatload
of people carried from the wreck to the is
land. Seeing that the sailors and some of
the stron gest passengers were frantically
eager to get into the boats when they ap-
preached and We're likely to swamp them
by rush, he ordered the fishermen TO
stand off from the week and pick ND the
passengers who would jump into the soa.

Captain Williams was Chief Officer Firth
Firth left the deck with the captain at
midnight and was aroused in his bcri il iy

ing out, he cleared two starbOard boats
with an AK, but they were rendered use
less when the hull settled. Losing his
hold as the deck dropped from under, he
caught in the mizZen rigging and chung

captain ordered all the people to get into

USES OF THE CACTUS.
Serves rs a Reservoir in Thirsty Land,
Also Used for Medicine.

Serves rs a Reservoir in a Thirsty Land
Also Used for Medicine.
In the arid plains of Brazil and Mex
leo, where all nature seems parched up
for six months in the year, the cacti
serve as reservoirs of moisture, we are
told, and not only the natives, by
wounding the heshy stems with their
long forest knives, supply themselves
with a cool and refreshing juice, but
even the cattle contrive to break
through the skin with their hoofs and
then to suck the liquid they contain,
instinct teaching them to avoid wound
ing themselves with the spines.
Where the prickly pear cactus grows
to an immense size the branches are
fed to cattle and sheep after the thorns
are burned off. The fruit is large and
pear-shaped, blood red in color when
ripe and very sweet. The fruit is used
in the fall to color preserves or jellies.
The fruit of all kinds is edible and
some very palatable. The leaves of the
prickly pear are used for poultices for
wounds or bruises, and the root is rich
in medicinal qualities. The Mexican
Indians are said to be very fond of the
leaves of different varities of Opuntia;
they fry them in batter like cakes. A
luscious beverage is afforded the thirs-
ty traveller by some of the larger speci-
mems. The tops are cut OFF in such q
manner as to leave a basin-lilSe cavity,
which is soon filed with the juice Of
the plant. 1t is said that beautiful
furniture, tables costing as much as
four hundred dollars, are made from
the large-growing varieties, and vari-
GUS ornaments, napkin rings, paper
knives, match safes, inkstands, etc.
are made from the beautiful wood of
the candle cactus. 1t seems strange,
says the Ladies' Home Journal, that
human habitatiOns can be made from
thsese queer succulent plants, yet we

ROMANCE OF THE MOUNTAINS.
The story of a Fugitive Pirate and thu
Disappearance of His Daughter.

The story of a Fugitive Pirate and the
Disappearance of His Daughter.
Seventy years ago, says the Pitts
burgh Dispatch, there came to the
county named from Massachusetts
young man named James Hoar, son of
prominent citizen of Boston, edu-
! Gated at one of the leading eastern
colleges. Beyond this nothing could
be learned of his life. He secured
work as a day laborer at the old Whar-
ton furnace. Everything about this
stranger bespoke the gentleman of
culture. This fact, added to the mys-
terry of his life, led to the conclusion
that he had left Massachusetts for rea-
sons which he did not care to divulge.
One day as he was handling a large
piece of metal it fell and broke his
leg. He was taken to the home of
benjamin Bronson. Bronson had a
daughter named Jennie, a typical
country girl. When Hoar was taken
to her home her spare time was de-
voted to the care of the new arrival.
After the patient was able to be about
his attentions to Jennie became APP
parent, and 4 quiet country wedding
followed. They took up their abode
in little log house about a mile east
of Dunbar. y household of children
came to their freside. James HOar
had. become n typical woodsman, and
many stories of his proves as an ath-
lete are still told. The tranquility
of the little mountain home was
broken by the appearance of a south
ern planter named lie Clair He was
accompanied by his wife, and together
they secured quarters at Hoar's cabin.
The latter had a daughter. lie Clair
pretended to have become enamored
of the fair-haired mountain girl. The
secret of his pretended love was kept
from his wife, and when the lie Glars
left she disappeared. What became of
her is still n mystery, and it is be-
lieved that she was kidnapped by the
lie Glars and taken south. The broken
hearted mother never recovered from
the loss, and from that time life for
her was one long sorrow. James Hoar
died at the age of eighty-three. 1t is
now known that his connection with
some of the Cape Cod pirates drove
him into this mountain exile. He was |
a cousin of Senator Hoar, of Massa-
chusetts. Jennie Hoar made liveli- |
hood after the death of her husband |
by selling roots and herbs.

INDIANS AS HUNTERS.
They DO Not Brighten the Game Out o
nistEIcts IXhIta Man

They do Not Brighten the Game Out OF
Districts. as white Men Do.
It Is a remark often made by old
timers who knew the western country
when the red man was as common there
as the tenderfoot is now, said sports
man from the Rockies, that Indians
never scare away game from a region
in which they hunt. But, they say,
wherever the white man comes with his
firearms game is bound to be killed off
or driven away. These sayings are
true, with the qualifying statement
that by reasonable game laws game of
all kinds can be preserved and even
when nearly exterminated restored to
almost its original plentifulness in dis
tricts not too fully occupied by man
and his domestic creatures.
Note the Indian in hunting as no
searches out and steals upon the deer
or wild turkeys with his soft tread of
moccasined feet. In the twang of his
bow string and the flight of the whist
ling arrow there is no explosive sound
to alarm the creatures near the one
that Is struck. He, like themselves, is
in sympathetic accord with the tints
and tones of plain mountain and for
est, and while endeavoring to match
their craft against his they are salts
fed with trying to avoid him without
abandoning the region where he abides.
1t is when white hunters of the
sportsmen variety invade its haunts,
their presence heraided by the tread OF
their booted feet, their clothes alien in
appearance to the hues and contours of
the creatures of the wilds, and their
purpose shown by the crack and crash
of firearms, that game begins to mi
CRATE to other feeding grounds. Add
to this the increasing and indiscrimi-
nate slaughter for slaughter's sake that
characterizes the white mans hunting
and it is easy to see why the depopula-
ton of the forest and plain, when I'M
restricted by law, is speedy and sure.
Ever since the general adoption by In
dams of firearms for their hunting 1t
has not been found that large game
has diminished materially in regions in
which the white man is an infrequent
visitor, although Sir Samuel Baker, the
explorer, asserts of African game and
predatory creatures that animals can
endure traps, pitfalls, fire, and every
savage method of hunting; but fire.
