Cluett of this port. from Placentia Bay,

this afternoon having on board the ship
wrecked crew of the British schooner hoy,
Capt. Davenport Gilchrist, lumber laden,
ST. John, n. b., for Bosotn.
The crew was picked up on Wednesday
last, 100 miles east by north of Ihatcher's
island Capt Cluett says that at about
o'clock on that afternoon, the Preston
was sailing under two-reefed foresail, and
n northwest gale blowing at the time. A
sail was sighted far to the windward, and
il " as also noticed that there was sig
nal of distress In the rigging. 1t was i'm
possible to beat up to the unknown craft,
but from her movement 10 was tnouRnt
she would drift near. In the course of a
lew hours With the aid of u small piece OF
sail, the vessel WAS worked down under
the lee of the Preston. The vessel was
found to be the Roy, and Capt. Cluett
was told that their boat had been smashed
and their vessel waterioggeo, and they
wished to be taken OF. A dory was
lowered. manned by Lyman hildes and
Thomas Bebbon. who rowed their frail
ened at every moment to engulf thenl, and
finally managed to reach the Roy. Inc
SO was so furious that two trips were
necessary TO carry the crew OF four and
il was only after an heroic effort that
the crew we're safely landed on the deck
of the Preston.
Capt. Gilchrist realizing that nothing
could be done for the hoy. abandoned her
and kept of for this port.

trouble began. the crew had a terrible
struggle for life. The great waves caused
their craft to leak badly, the nature OF

that only the top of the deck house was

died while the spray broke over them and
the cold snow chilled them to the mar
row. The sails, long before, had been
blown away. Without food. the night
passed slowly. and at dawn the signal of
distress was set, which was hailed by the
Preston on the following afternoon, re-

SCHOOL OF METHODS.
Plans for Institution Mt Fryeburg Near
ly Complete.

The plans for the School of Methods at
Fryeburg are approaching completion.
Teachers, and In fact, all Interested In
educational matters, will be glad to
know what those plans are. The purpose
of the school Is to suggest advanced
methods of teaching, based on sound
principles of education. 1t is not to lay
down rigid rules given in order to save
the teacher trouble and thereby deprive
the teaching of its essential valus-per-
sonality; but rather to offer plans which
the teacher, by developing them in his
own individual way, can make means
for Increasing the effectiveness Of his
work.
The subjects offered will be the same as
those given last year, namely: Reading,
writing, numbers, geography, nature
study, music and drawing The work
will not be fined to that of any special
grades, but will be adapted to the needs
Of all teachers, whether In graded or in
ungraded schools
For teachers and citizens OF Maine the
tuition will be free. For those who
ooms from outside the state small tn.
ition fee may be charged to help cover tht
expense such an undertaking as this
would be impossible without the gener
Gus cooperation of many who are willing
to contribute for little or no remupera'
ton, the result of study and experience
TO the advancement OF our common
schools. Nevertheless there are many ex'
penses connected with the school OF
methods which can be justified only b,
the support of teachers expressed in
their attendance and by thu interest o.
ali publie-spirited people. The state su-
perintendent, Hon. W. W. Stetson, has
given the institution his personal anc

THE ANNUAL HOTBED.

Sash the Most Important Item of Ex-
pense-DIrections For Making 1t.
Few people who have garden make
any attempt to secure vegetables earlier
than may be done by sowing seed out
side after spring is far enough advanced
TO avoid frost. Occasionally some early
tomato or cabbage plants are grown in
a sunny kitchen window, but the range
of season and variety of garden prod
nets that can be had by the skillful use
of hotbeds or cold frames and sash
seem little appreciated. Yet their use
is advisable as a means Of profit, a
healthful addition to table resources
and source of great interest and pleas
ure TO any one who undertakes this
species of gardening The lettering
item is usually the sash, which is ex-
pensive. While the sash can be bought
ready glazed at any sash or door factory
they can be homemade after the fol-
lowing plan, originally given by the
Kansas experiment station in one Of
the bulletins of its horticultural depart
ment
The usual size Of such sash is by 8
feet. holding three rows Of 10 by IL
inch glass. six lights to the row. Dou-
BILE strength glass of IA" grade will be
found the most profitable to use in the
long run, as it does not break as readily
as the lighter and cheaper grades. The
best grade Of sash is made from first
class southern cypress lumber. though
redwood or good white pine will answer
a good purpose. Stock / u inches thick
when dressed gives the best weight
Make the stiles 2 e inches wide and the
rails inches. No cross mountings are
used but two bars l d inches wide run
the length of the sash. These with the
stiles and top rail are rabbeted one
quarter Of an inch wide and one-half of
an inch deep to receive the glass The
glass laps like shingles, and the lowest
light projects over the lower rail. which
is only an inch thick. In pinning the
sash the holes should be bored from the
underside not quite through. SO as not
to allow the leaking of water from
above. Through the middle Of the stiles
and bars O fve-sixteenths of an inch
stay rod is run just beneath the glass,
for the double purpose of preventing
spreading and the sagging of the bars.
If the lower portions of the stiles and
bars are chamfered away as much as
strength will allow. less light will be
INSTRUCTED by them
The lights of glass should be firmly
set, with large points and short brad
at each lower corner to keep them from
slipping down, and then well puttied.
The sash should receive two good
coats Of paint and be repainted as often
as needed, ,.s s.~a
One of these sash complete weighs ID
pounds and it is believed that 1t will
last enough longer than cheaply made
one to well repay the extra cost
