SALVAGE MONEY.

Owing to the high salvage money OBJ
tanned by rendering assistance to dis
abled ship mt sea many steamers and sail
ing vessels carry on an irregular sort of
"wrecking business by always being on
the alert for stranded ships. A tramp
steamer that could bring IA great trans
atlantic liner into port in n disabled con-
dition would realize more money than its
owner would make in trip across the sea
with n full cargo. As an illustration OF
what salvage money Is paid for the towing
steamers into port mention can be made
OF few conspicuous cases. says a writer
in Cassier's Magazine. In 1882 tie City
of Richmond was towec into port Halifax
harbor, and cost her owners S36 600 in SAL
wage money. In the same winter the City
OF Boston broke her shaft ut sea and her
owners were compelled to pay n bill for
towing and other aid OF $40, 800. When
the Atlantic liner Paris broke down off
tho Irish coast in 1890. she was towed into
port at an expense of $50, 900
so rich are these prizes that the coast

we'll known that those of the blood are

though taken faithfully, only cover up
the symptoms of the disease, inducing
the patient to feel that he is being cured;
