MORGAN CITY WRECK.
Details of the Loss of the Govern

Details or the Loss or the G0yern-
 ment Transport. -.
 Yokohama, Sept. 8, via Victoria, B. O., Sept. 20.-Interesting details are at hand of the wreck of the American transport Morgan City in the Inland sea of Japan.
 It appears that 1t came very near be- ing an appalling catastrophe. Striking upon reef at 3 o'clock in the morning, the ship remained fast until daylight, when, by adopting the expedient of push ing the men alternately from one side to the other, the ship was rolled from the rocks into deep water, where she at once began to fill rapidly. She headed for the shore of the island of Inoshima, several miles distant. sinking perceptibly with every yard of progress. She reach Id the beach barely minute before oth- trwise going under.
 The discipline of the men was admira- ble, and all were got ashore in safety. The seamanship shown appears not to have been so admirable, as no precau- tions were taken to make the boat fast to the shore after bleaching. The delay WAS spent in removing stores, the trans port lying very nearly bows under, but well ahoat in the after part. Late in the afternoon without warning she slid of the steep beach and sunk In about six fathoms of water.
 A more favorable or more picturesque spot for a shipwreck could scarcely be found. The island of Inoshima is about a dozen miles from Hiroshima. chief city of the Inland sea. Almost instantly came aid from the Japanese authorities. the cruiser Yosohomo being at once dispatch ed and the Red Cross society sending relief expedition. The troops are loud in their appreciation of Japanese kind

A Blower of Woe.

Was ever anything more charged with the pathetic irony of life and death than the following? A young pri- vate of the Third Alpine regiment has come to a violent end under particular ly sad circumstances at Villar Pellice, in the Maritime Alps. In trying to reach some edelweiss for his fiancee, a beautiful girl living in a neighboring valley, he lost his balance and fell down precipice. He was to have been married in October. Now, for the sake of that one white flower of honor," he Is buried in August How she will hate the beautiful waxlike bloom which grows on the Ligurian precipices until time has dried her tears, when the memory will become sweet and sacred to her heart of the lover who, unlike co many of modern days, gave his life away for her bright syes and for ths badge of duty and dsvstioh.

When to Sow nuckwhe.t.

The old rule of delay the sowing of buckwheat until the 4th of July is hardly a safe one to follow in northern states, where frost often nips this ten derest of all vegetables before its grain is perfected. There is. of course. dan ger from too early sowing of this grain, exposing it to the severe heats which sometimes prove as destructive as frosts, blasting the blossoms so that they do not set with grain. But if the buckwheat can be sown during the last days of June there is little danger that it will be blasted by the heat, and the loss from untimely frosts. which is the evil that is most to be feared. will be avoided. This is the advice of The American Cultivator.

How to Mount the Frame and Set Up
 Slave siIo.
 In the course of series of articles on silos and ensilage in the Ohio Farm CT John Gould gives concise and clear directions for building the now popular round silo. He says:
 In setting up stave silo it is neces- sary to make a staging, so that it will nearly conform to the cylindrical form of the silo. To do this it is best to set four posts solid in the ground close to the outside of the silo and mount on this a frame, as shown in Fig. of the first cut This can be readily made of Is feet boards, with the corner boards, as shown.
 Make the inside measure of this frame just as large as the outside di- ameter of the silo will be, so that it

Atlanta, Sept. Ex-Governor Candler has decided to offer the Northwestern railroad for sale. The attempt will be the third the state has made in the last ten years to rid itself of this property, which was seized on account of not meet ing its obligations to the state during the administration of Governor Colquitt. The minimum price which the governor is allowed to accept for the Northwestern is $281 900, the amount of the bonds of the Northeastern taken up.. The North eastern runs from Athens to Lulu, Ga., a distance of 40 miles, and is in good condition.

 Mohnn m eAan Power.

 Moham m eAan Power.
 St. Petersburg, Sept. 20.-Russia Is closely watching the British advance on Asia. Novoe Vremya, a leading Russian newspaper, often inspired, declares a new British intrigue is progressing for the setting up of a new Mohammedan power to rival the sultan of Turkey, with a view to menacing Russian authority in Central Asia.
 The puppet prince selected for the pur- pose is the cherif of Mecca. The cherif recently received from England a letter stating that the British government. hay ing decided to invest a certain worthy but impecunious Mohammedan sheik with the caliphate of Zella, on the Dor ders of Somaluand, and recognizing that 1t is desirable for the cherif as descend ant of the prophet and great protector of Islam, also considers 1t desirable for the cherif to issue a manifesto expressing his approval.
 In return for this service Great Britain will proclaim Mecca knd Medina the pri- vate property of the cherif and will not only assure him the greater part of the revenues of the new caliphate, but will defend him by diplomatic means or even by force of arms against the interference of the sultan or any other foreign power.

Rigorous Laws.

Rigorous divorce law will also hinder women from the fatal mistake of mar rying men to reform them. If a young man, by 9 years of age or 30 years of age, have the habit of strong drink fixed on him, he is as certainly bound for drunkard's grave as that train Gtarting out from the Grand Central depot at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning Is bound for Albany. The train may not reach Albany, for 1t may be thrown from the track. The young man may not reach drunkards grave, for something may throw him off the iron track of evil habit. But the proba- bility is that the train that starts to- morrow morning at 8 o'clock for Al Lany will get there, and the proba- bility is that the young man who has the habit of strong drink fixed on him before 25 or 30 years of age will ar rive at drunkards grave. She knows he drinks, although he tries to hide It by chewing cloves. Everybody knows he drinks. Parents warn; neighbors and friends warn. She will marry him; she will reform him. If she is unsuc- cessful in the experiment, why, then, the divorce law will emancipate her, because habitual drunkenness Is a cause for divorce in Indiana, Ken lucky, Florida, Connecticut and nearly all the states. So the poor thing goes to the altar of sacrifice. If you will show me the poverty struck streets in any city, I will show you the homes of the women who married men to re- form them. In one case out of ten thousand 1t may be successful experi- ment. I never saw the successful ex- pertinent. But have rigorous divorce law, and that woman will say, If am affianced to that man, 1t Is for life, And f now. in the Asdes of his young

A Divine Institution.

And let me say to those of you who are in happy married union, avoid first quarrels; have no unexplained core spondence with former admirers; cul- tivate no suspicious; in a moment of bad temper do not rush out and tell the neighbors; do not let any of those gadabouts of society unload in your house their baggage of gab and little tattle; do not make 1t an invariable rule to stand on your rights: learn how to apologize; do not be so proud or so stubborn or so devilish that you will not make up. Remember that the worst domestic misfortunes and most scandalous divorce cases started from little infelicites. The whole piled up train of ten rail cars telescoped and smashed at the foot of an embank- ment 100 feet down came to that ca tastrophe by getting two or three inch es off the track. Some of the greatest domestic misfortunes and the widest resounding divorce cases have started from little misunderstanding that were allowed to go on and go on until home and responsibility and religion and immortal soul went down in the crash.
 Fellow citizens as well as fellow Christians, let us have a divine rage against anything that wars on the mar riage state. Blessed institution! h. stead of two arms to fight the battle of life, four; instead of two eyes to scrutintss tha hath of life. four; in- steau nf two shoulders to lift the bur- dan If life. fonEi twice the energy.
