A marvellous experience happened to
Matthew Dolan of Jacksonville, Ind,
recently. Dolan was coming down
the river on a tow pushed by the
steamer Sam Clark, and in the dark
ness fell off. He is a vigorous swim
mer and diver, and knew his safety de-
pended on holding his breath. Before
he could rise the tow, an eighth of a
mile long, was over him, and he, feel
ing the bottoms of the boats, knew he
must dive. To come up . moment too
soon meant death by the steamer S
wheel Feeling his way until the PROV
Of the boat struck him, he remained
under water by a superhuman effort.
Then he rose and swan TO Six Mile
island, whence he vaa rescued by a
skin. He says that he had no idea OF
drowning, and thought Of nothing but
how to get our Of his predicament.

Keep Your Boz ON the Farm

No boy is likely to remain on the
farm after reaching the age when he is
entitled to regard himself as being at
his own disposal, unless farm life fur
nishes a reasonable amount of enjoy
mont of the good things of life, nor
will he remain if farming, as he knows
it, and as he has been taught to see it,
is a failure as a business and the farm
failure as a home. What are you do
ing to keep your boy on the farm?

ing to make a fairy story materialize
in real life, and she has laid the found
alton for a charming tale of which the
heroine will be some future great

Just before the death of her eldest

The gowns were never worn and are

years old for some woman of the COM

New York papers have felt it neces-
sary to devote some space and energy
to calming the fears of those persons
who ordinarily go to the New Jersey
and Long Island coast for the summer,
but who now manifest great reluctance
to hire seaside villas or engage accom-
modations at the big hotels. Property
along the shore goes a-begging. Now
why should these people be "afeared %
Because, forsooth, there is war in the
air and perchance there may be shot
and shell as well as mosquitoes on
their piazzas and in their bedrooms. Va
rious able editorials have been penned
to convince the timid that in case of
war Spain will have her attention well
occupied with naval maneuvres some
hundreds of miles away from New York
and some fifty distant from the coast.
II has been further explained that, even
if the Spanish cruisers and battleships
should get up into the latitude of New
Jersey, they will not waste $1,000 pro-
jectiles on bath houses, shore residences
or on flimsy summer hotels. They would
prefer to threaten some prosperous
port where, by threats of bombardment
they might perhaps eXtort a ransom OF
several millions of dollars, which would
be infinitely more gainful than even the
destruction of the city

If we are really going to have war,
the yellow journals must find some way
to stop these persistent assertions
from Washington and Madrid, that
neither government will declare war,
but each intends to wait for the other
to do it. Then there is that annoying
story from Madrid, that the liberal Sa-
gasta ministry unlike the conservative
Canovas cabineD is willing to accept the
friendly offices Of the United States for
the settlement of the Cuban ills; that it
will pay indemnity for the Maine. any
how; that it would not even regard the
recognition of Cuban belligerency as a
casus belli; that it is ready to give up
everything but the merest shadow of
sovereignty in the island in order to
avert war. How are we going to have
war if neither party is willing to open
the shooting match? These stories may
all be untrue but they are as good
guesses as any The fact is, expected
wars have a knack of not happening;
it is the unexpected that happens. When
men see danger ahead and try to escape
it, they have measurable chances of
success. 1t is when they are not look

The Herald has been at some pains
to figure out that, in case of war, Boston
is the city most likely to be attacked by
the Spanish fleet This is a cheering
prospect. If there are going to be any
fireworks, brass band and Fourth of
July out of season, let's have them
where we can conveniently enjoy the
spectacle without too great an outlay
for travelling expenses. The way the
Herald arrives at it's interesting conclu-
sion is this: If Spain desired to attack
an American city for purposes Of de-
struction or the levying of tribute, she
would of course seek one of the four
richest, namely New York, Boston,
Philadelphia or Baltimore. The two lat
ter are evidently out Of the question,
because the cooperation of land forces
would be required in order to ensure a
safe exit of a fleet from Chesapeake
Bay or Delaware Bay. New York's COM
manding position as the commercial
and money centre of the country, more
over, presupposes extraordinary prepa-
raJons for its coast defenses, and for
this reason, New York might be assumed
to be better protected las no doubt it
Isl than Boston, a city of relatively less
Importance nationally. Therefore, the
Herald argues, Boston may be consid-
cred to offer the greater temptation tc

Springfield and most of Connecticut
are excited over the promise of the re-
Mobilization of the Philadelphia, Reading
and New England Railroad and the pro-
posed extension of the line, distance
Of eighteen miles, from Tariffville to
Springfield. Since the New Haven road
got possession of the New York and
New England the Reading and New
England's northern ard eastern connec-
tons have been practically cut off, and
freight has been diverted to the New
Haven system as soon as it got over
the Poughkeepsie bridge. This has of
course been very damaging to the Read
ing interests, and stop will be put to
it, if possible. At Springfield, the Read
! ing would connect both with the Boston
and Albany and the Boston and Maine
system. That of course would not be
viewed with composure by the New Ha-
ven people, and Hartford would be es-
pecially aggrieved. because that city
has been the terminal of the eading.
| Hence, Connecticut has begun to wave
its arms as a signal of ruin, desolation
and danger. To western Massachusetts
| the advantage of the extension would
be obvious enough, in the additional en-
try to northern Connecticut and a new
and more direct communication with the
Pennsylvania coal fields The latter
advantage would be shared by other
portions Of New England, as a decrease
of freight rates would naturally be
looked for If the new proposition should
be put in execution. Apparently, there
is now no further need of applying to
the Connecticut legislature for authori-
ty to extend the road. SO that one rather
formidable obstacle is out of the way,
but confidence in the contamination OF
| the plan does not seem to be great.

The managing editor Of the evening
edition of one of the New York yellow
newspapers has been smitten with brain
fever, as the result of over-work and too
much war scare. The first symptom was
an edition announcing a declaration of
war This was suppressed. Next came
the editors order for page Of war
news from London. Then the other edi-
tors interfered, the proprietor was noti-
fed, and the lalf-crazed managing edi-
tor received check for $500 and orders
to take vacation for month. So it
appears that even war scares are dan
gerous, though the doctors hope to save
the present victim.
