Two Youthful Heroes.

A story of the sea, revealing two
youthful heroes in real life, is related
in letters lately received in Liverpool,
and published in the London press, Civ
ing an account Of fire on board the
steamer Marine. The Marine, a steam
er OF 5000 tons, owned by the Ocean
Transport Company, left Barry, South
Wales, for New Orleans. She arrived
at the Azores on Oct. IA. Seven days
earlier she had a wonderful experience
and a marvellous escape. Terrible seas
were running. At ten o'clock at night,
while the weather was at it's worst,
Capt. Murray, from the bridge, heard a
great noise on deck, when a volume of
lame shot up from the fore part of the
main deck. 1t was then seen that
number of iron drums of chemicals had
been forced adrift, and the contents ig.
nited.
Dense volumes of smoke rose and
drove the men from their posts. 10

Horticulture in Eurone.


Horticulture in Europe is much more
intensive than with US, says Prof. N.
G. Hansen in Iowa State Register.
Land is very valuable and labor cheap.
with us the conditions are reversed
Hence this materially changes meth
DDS, and labor saving machinery is
the means by which we solve the prob
lem. Fruit trees in European nurser-
les are planted close together both
ways so that cultivation by horse DOW
er is impossible. Tree diggers are un-
known. Everything, except blowing
is done by hand. On some plots even
the horse is banished and the ground
is prepared with a spade. Such meth
DDS of cultivation would of course be
Improbable on our cheaper lands in
America. However, there is a great
deal Of value to be learned in Europe
in the horticultural lines. Extreme
competition has weeded out inferior
methods and appliances, and necessi-
tates wide awake spirit everywhere.
Centuries of accumulated experience
under the same conditions have set
tied a host of their horticultural prob
lens, and the beginner finds the path
well marked and mapped out by his
predecessors. Here on our fertile
pralrlesJ of the northwest the condi-
lions of the soil and climate are new
to us, and more problems confront us
in all lines. But these very problems
make horticulture a fascinating study.

Newspaper Owned by a CITY.

Dresden owns a singular piece of
property. It is morning newspaper
the Dresdener Anzeiger. This daily
paper, upon the death of it's last pro-
prietor, was willed to the city upon
the condition that all profits arising
therefrom should be spent upon the
public parks. This year a large play
ground of nearly eight acres was pur-
chased from Prince George, the kings
brother and heir apparent, and it will
be ready for use next spring. The
paper continues to hold the respect of
all citizens, for the trust has been car
ried out fn the broadcast spirit, and the
paper has never been employed to
foster any school of opinion.

England Re-Exportins Meat

The London Eng.) Times says
How greatly the times have altered is
shown by the circumstance that last
week witnessed the Inauguration Of
the export of fresh meat (frozen) from
England to the Cape, the steamship
Nineveh having taken on board 1900
quarters Of Bowen (QueenslandD beef,
and 1000 carcasses Of River Plate NUT
ton. for conveyance to Cape Town. The
most noteworthy feature of this trans
action is that the meat could be pur-
chased in England at much lower rate
than in the countries Of production.
Beef at 21Ad per lb and mutton at 21hd
per lb free on board could not be sup
piled in the Colonies, but was procured
at home.

~ man the windlass
was passed one day just after dinner;
and the anchor being weighed and sail
made on the ship, the native pilot
worked US up through the fleet Of idle
vessels to clear anchorage and
brought us up to wait for more
wind, we having very little at the
time. Captain R was very anxious
to get out at once, but the pilot as
sured him that he would have a fine
Wholesale breeze by 9 o'clock that
night, and, after a short conference
with him apart from others, the cap
tain yielded.
Not long before this time a British
3 bark had sailed from this same port
with $11 900 in hard cash on board, but
she had never reached her destination.
She had been picked up derelict, hav-
ing evidently been captured and rided
by pirates and her crew murdered. The
combined British and French fleets
had just met in bloody repulse in at
tempting to force passage past the
Peiho forts, on the Canton river; and
the Chinese pirates, acting on the
theory that it was time to make hay
when the sun was shining, were par
tcularly active and daring in their vo-
cation just at that time
Our pilot had induced Capt. R to
acQuiesce in his views by quietly tell
ing him the exact number of boxes of
opium on board. and where they were
slowed in the ship, and assuring him
that many Others on shore knew all
about it as we'll as he. This seemed a
little surprising, as the opium had been
brought on board secretly-so much so
that some of our own crew did not
know that we had any such cargo on
board. An other thing the pilot had
told him was that but few If any of
the immense fleet of fishing junks
which constantly cruised about outside
the port and along the coast would OBJ
Ject to add little piracy to their reg
ular business. especially when tempted
by such prize as 200 boxes of opium
The possibility that our capture might
be planned already, and that among
our tween deck passengers there might
be confederates of any outside ene-
mics, was also limited at; and alto
gether our captain concluded to follow
the pilots advice, and not sail till he
had plenty of wind, when he could
laugh at all the junks they could bring
on.
Soon after sunset the wind did in
crease, as the pilot had predicted; and

ALL the events of the war so far go
to show that the elements of human
skill and endurance are as important
as ever in warfare. The following,
from Fort Monroe dispatch, indicates
oue potent reason for Dewey's vic
tory:
The ships of the squadron at gun
practice this morning showed pheno-
menal skill in hitting The small bob
bling targets. The 13-inch guns of the
Ma7sac huseJts anu the Finch guns on
the Texas swung around at all sorts OF
remarkable angles, and placed shot all
around their targets, while the smaller
guns did equally good work. The
eight S-inch guns OF the Brooklyn

turrets swung quickly to gwen points,

Founders put shot after shot into the

OF the shooting was that every man at
the guns acted as sig b ting gunner, aud
