 My next rescue was that of four men, May 3, 1883, in the Bay of Brazos, Tex as. They were sailors on the schooner Charles Miller, which struck snag, and was sinking when I moved out and took the men off. Not one of them could swim, and would in all probability have been drowned only for my assistance. That was the last of what I may term my wholesale rescues, but since I have been working on the Morgan Line docks I have saved 13 men who either fell overheard accidentally or else attempt ed suicide.

No sooner do they strike the water than they want to get out again. Drunken men are the hardest to handle. They are so full of whisky that they don't seem to realize their danger and would sink to death without a struggle or murmur,
 They even laugh and joke in the wa ter and never seem to realize their dan ger. Those who fall in accidentally are easy to handle. They want to get out as much as anyone wants to get them out. Now, in conclusion, all 1 have to say to those who may find themselves in danger of drowning, accidentally or otherwise, is just keep as quiet as possi- blc and work your hands and feet slow ly and you will float until help comes. Stretch right out in the water, and if you can do so and keep your presence of mind you won't sink. To a man who att tempts to make a rescue, I would say, always catch your man behind the neck by the clothes, don't be afraid of him, and don't let him go down unless you go with him.

lapels of a jacket which had triple shoulder capes to match, over the tight sleeves.
 Far more Frenchy in it's effect was q -dotted muslin gown, whose Nandyke lem was frilled with lace, and whose tight, wrinkled sleeves were draped with scarves of lace edged muslin. There was wide corselet of chine rib bon tying in q huge bow behind and fall- ing nearly to the ground. The bodice was crossed with lines of cream inser- ton. dividing it into big diamonds. As the taste of Saratoga is distinctly more French, less English, than that at New port, this gown is a hot favorite on the street, and the weaFer is made content ty envious glances.
 It seems that, among the devices for concealing the shoulder of the new sleeve the arrangement of little cape on either side of the favorite. It may be triple, as in the shepherds plaid gown; 1t may be double, as in the black ehif- ion bodice marked with lines of jet worn over a black silk skirt; it may be single, as in the dotted muslin. How long will it be before the new sleeve will cast off all disguises. and stand re- realed, it's own slender self from wrist even unto shoulder?
 The story of one little mode is laugh able. When the Yale oarsmen went to their slaughter at Henley, so many Americans were in town that the Lon don shops were overflowed with gala. costumes of red, white and blue to touch their patriotic pockets. English women began wearing the combination, too, partly out of compliment to the. crew and to the Ancient and Honorable Artillery company of Boston, and partly because the gowns were pretty; and now the tri-colored costumes come back across the sea again with the eachet of British approval! The colors are usual ly mixed in the proportion of a good deal of blue, less white and least red say, for instance, dark blue skirt, with or without white braid. and bodice of blended blue, red and white, with blue sleeves.

 If Saratoga is not quite crowded 1t is because Saratoga is in that respect peculiarly hard to crowd.
 Here is village of q little over 10000 permanent residents. It has a single hotel, five stories high, which covers and incloses the area of St. Peters church in Rome and which may have 20 acres or so of floor area. It would hold the entire population of the village on one floor It will Feat and sleep" over 1 ,5o0 people.
 There is another hotel, only few inches. smaller, which IS also longer, however, than any outside of Saratoga. There are little inns which would be huge anywhere else. Altogether, the hotels will accommodate from 10000 to f5,00o people, according to the degree of pressure. Half the houses are board ing houses during the season, and there are sanitariums and other odds and ends of burrows into which folks can crawl O nights.
 People say here that 30,00o guests can be taken care of, by a trife more ihdh oht-tiiid ot tliSit nulHpeI. | HIS passes the arithmetic of those who are unable to make more than 1S,000 Or so as the sum of all the accommoda- tions. But the Saratoga permanents are like Napoleon. When, in adding up their battalions, they make an error of few thousands on the right side they prefer not to be reminded of their error.
 Let it go at the smaller figure. Even at that, there are over 200 acres of floor space devoted 10 guests. And the rnoney return per acre from the pre-

yailing crop beats all the fables that are told of vineyards and cranberry hogs.
 Two hundred acres of rooms, halls and corridors, 20 miles of covered piaz- "a, planted with rocking chairs GOO to the mile, 10000 big trunks, weighing when full 2.0O0 tons; $50,o00 to S75, ,oo0 day in board bills and the other things in proportion--ah, well, Saratoga can afford to be little less than as full as it might be!
 Anything more gay and kaleidoscope than Broadway and South street and Union avenue during the afternoon car riage parade it would be difficult to imagine. The tone of the town is not very athletic. Partly, no doubt, this is because of the heat, but I am fanciful enough to ascrihe it quite as much te the primeyal Americanism of the guests who here resort. They have not ab- sorbed even the good customs of our English cousins. Less than half as many summer residents in Newport play twice as much tennis and ten times as much golf, not to speak of yachting, which is Newport's ancient hobby. and bicycling, which you'll find everywhere
 But in devotion to the horse, Sara toga yields not to any town on earth. There is little riding, but much driving of fine steeds by men with the hatchet faces and thin chin whisllers of the tra- ditional Uncle Sam, men who might be tleaconS or buneo artists so far as their looks are self revelatory; by fat men with huge mustaehes of the urban type. and by women who handle the reins as we'll as if they had lived in Lenox all their lives.
 Giving themselves up wholly to look ing the part, there are the dressing women to whom Saratoga is the great parade ground. They stroll, they shop. they drive in gowns not to be surpassed on this oblate spheroid For driving wear I noticed to-day as particularly pleasing a shepherds plaid in black and white. whose black satin cuffs were turned back from the wrists, whose broad black satin eorselet belt had a band of stitfened white leather down the front. whose bodice displayed a mass of lace escaping between the triple

An epicure is one who is particularly nice about his food His fare may be plain, but it will be the best of its kind.

"Ab- stain in order to enjoy said Epicurus, the Athenian philosopher Acting on this maxim, the epicure is often the most abstemious guest at an elegant table. He tastes as he eats, and he eats SO that he may taste. The quality, not the quantity, of things recommends them to him.

HOW | SAVED THIRTY LIVES.
New York Dock Engineer Tells How
 to Handle a Drowning Man.
Nineteen Lives Saved in a Day-WouId- Be Suicides Are Eager to Be Res cued, and Are the Easiest
 to Handle.
tcoPYR1GHr, 1896.

Frederick C. Wilson, nightengineer on the Morgan line docks, pier 25, North river, has rescued 30 men from drown ing in the last 16 years. He lives at 19S Thirty y-first street, Brooklyn, and is as modest as he is brave. He wears the medal of the Volunteer Life Saving corps, the only recognition of his many brave deeds that he has ever received.
 Following is a graphic account by himself of the manner in which he eff fected these rescues, and his mode of operating in the water when struggling with a drowning man.
 ''I have been requested to write an account of my experiences in saving men from drowning, and find that 1t is much more difficult task than l though for. 1t is comparatively easy to pull a man out of the river, but it is no easy matter, find, to write about it. However, 1 will do the best can.
 q have been a sailor, and have always loved the sea. I was born in Boston 36 years ago. and spent much of my time as a lad on the water in Boston harbor. but I never saved a life until 1 was 20 years old. When 1 began, though, l went at it wholesale, and saved 19 lives in one day, the 1st of February, 1880.
 Ut was off Allerton Point, OH Man. tasket beach. I was working in the shops of the Nantasket Beach Railway company, when I saw the Oracle La- throp, a brig, driving in on the beach in wild storm. Finally saw the sailors piling over the side into one of the boats and as they pulled off for the shore the brig went to pieces. 1 ran for the beach, but before got there the boat with the men in it overturned and they were spilled. They were nearly in, and I rushed into the surf, and dragged the two men who were floating by 10 the
