THE PARIS MAY YET BE SAVED.
EIoated by the SaIvaEers-TO bS
lowed to Falmouth HarbOr
by Tugs.

London, July 12.-The salvagcrs
have moved the American liner Paris
astern for a distance of $50 yards, and
have shifted the vessels position to the
eastward. They hope to be able 10
get the after stokehold fires alight.
The Paris is now clear of the rocks.
The sea is smooth, but Il heavy fog
prevailed last night.
The intention of the %saivagers WIS
simply to slew the stern of the liner.
so as to facilitate the operations of
the divers. but it was found that she
moved more freely than was expected.
Three salvage boats alone practically
removed her from n critical position
unaided.
She still has a distinct list. how
ever, to the starboard, and can o he
assumed to be out of danger.
The tugs are preparing to tow her
to Falmouth harbor.
The German salvagers are elated at
their unexpected success in floating
the Paris. She had been weighted with
nearly a thousand ions of granite at
the stern. with a view of hosting her
bows free from the rock. The divers
had difficulty in getting 1T the rock.
and this was the reason for the tenta-
tive effort to move her.
Several tugs from Falmouth pro-
cecded to the scene. but the Germans
were not anxious for their assistance.
Offering the largest tug G5 ($2j) for
towage, an offer which was promptly
refused. 1t was her decided that the
vessel, being in a position of compare
tive safety. should remain where she
was for the night. and that the divers
should continue their work Of patch
ing the hull. so rs to minimize the
risk of towing.
Unless something unforeseen occurs,
the Paris will be lowed to Falmouth.
and if. on inspection, her condition
warrants it. she will be taken 10 South
amptOn or to some other dock for re-
pairs.
The weather late last evening was
rather unfavorable. the symptoms he
ing rain. fog. Il falling barometer. and
Il slight wind from the southeast. Al
increase in the wind might prove Sc
rious.
Every %precaution had been taken to
anchor the liner securely. The coast
guards are keeping a keen lookout.
Capt. Watkins. the other officers. and
2C members of the crew are still on
board The pumps are coping with
the water. and there is no danger OF
the vessel sinking.
1t is understood that the salvagers
are the same parties who retioated the
Peninsular and Oriental stcamrr Chi
ma. which went ashore in March of last
year on Azadca point, near -Nden.

A ROSARY OF WILD FLOWERS.
Blossoms for Every Month in the Year
in Bleak New England.

How many know that even in bleak
New England there is no month with
out its blossom children, no season
utterly destitute of flowers?
In January the star chickweed,
and, in seasons of thaw, the swamp
cabbage, defy the elements; while
February calls forth the first willow
catkins beside the brooklet. March
is the month Of snowdrops and iris,
but Aprils sunlight shines over he
patica and sweet arbutus.
May has an unnumbered following;
violets and anemones carpet the shell
tered glades, while overhead is the
pink glory Of the thorn apple. June,
the month of eglantine aud hawthorn,
brings as well the buttercup, dear to
childhood's heart, and yellow prim-
roses, cleaning like floral stars amid
nocturnal shadows. In July the
creamy masses of elder bloom fringe
every country road and the pink
purple spikes Of the willow herb
demand our praise; but as August,
the delight of the orchid family, APP
proaches, pink lady's slippers and
moccasin flowers bloom everywhere,
while the Indian pipe, that mysteri-
Gus flower of alabaster, graces the for
est aisles.
September is especially rich in
specimens Of the daisy clan, to which
belong our garden dahlias and mari
colds, pansy and thoroughwort, en-
dive, satisfy, blackeyed Susans, and
even the bold, vigorous defiant thistle,
whose purple head lures every passing
bee and butterfly to a right royal feast.
One hears the fairy artillery Of the
witch hazel in October, and it is then
that the milkweed shakes out its
snowy flakes.
November gives the golden-rod
and everlastings, while December's
representatives are chickweed, witch
hazel and few late violets. Good
Housekeeping.
