q of launching Il. the three officers

ing Of launching it, the three officers
volunteered to make mp the boats
crew with the three seamen who had
volunteered. The crew rushed to
man the davits and falls aud the men,
bers of the brave little band took their
places in the boat. Just as they were
about to lower the boat, however, a
cry from the captain caused every one
to look toward the burning oil ship.
She had again fallen off the wind and
great sheets of flame flew ont way be-
yond the jibboom. The man, with
the woman clinging to his neck, could
he seen hanging to the martingale,
perilously swawing with every roll Of
the ship like an autumn leaf on tree,
"Hold on, help is coming" hoarsely
roared the captain of the Egyptian
Prince through his speaking trumpet.
A feeble cry was the only response,
and the next moment there was crash.
The bowsprit had burned off at the
butt. The man and the woman, still
clinging to the spar, fell, and the
water closed over them. When the
spar arose on the crest of wave
neither tie man nor the woman were
to be seen. It was no use to lower
the boat now, and the Egyptian Prince
steamed away on its course, which
was lighted for many miles by the
roaring flames. None OF the crew OF
the Inflated ship ever survived to tell
the story of the conhagration.-NeM

Great Traffic Growth.

That there has been an enormous increase
in the last few years in traffic on the anadian
lac fc Railway is strikingy illustrated by
II e necessity of extsndi! g tie Mindsor Street
Station and station yard in Montreal.
When the " indsor station was built short
ten years ago. it was tho lght it would be ade-
auate to meet all possible contingencies and
to provide for every demand that might be
made by increase of business for at least n
quarter Of u century. Since that time the
grand New Viger station. or Viger Square. IL
was necessary to establish, in order 10 meet
and accommodate the Quebec traffic. In spite
of this, the business has grown in such phe
nomenal manner at the Windsor Street sta.
ton that it has been found necessary to ext md
the frontage. and also the yard proper. A con.
siderable area of land which is ut present oc.
cupied by private houses has been taken Il,
for this yard extension.
The work has progressed very rapidly this
past fall. most Of the foundation being al
ready in. The Company. it is said. will EN-
ploy one hundred and fifty men continuously
through the winter. who will be occupied in
cutting stone and preparing the iron and
steel work. When this new structure Is fin
ishcd il will be one of the most complete a nd
imposing railway stations in the World.

Portable Schoolhouaea.

The system of portable schoolhouses,
having proved satisfactory in Mil
waukee, will be adopted in st. Louis,
where, owing to the shifting popula.
ton, it has become necessary to pro.
vide suitable accommodations for chill.
dren whose education is now being
conducted in storerooms and dwellings
hired for that purpose.
The portable schoolhouse is made
in sections, bolted together, and
placed upon any available foundation.
II is said that a structure OF this kind
lasts for years. The School Board has
allowed $4,000 for the four buildings
to be used in st. Louis for the accom-
mediation of about two hundred chill
dren. Each building will have floor
space of twenty -four by thirty-two
feet, and seats for tifty-fve pupils.
Six windows will supply all the light
needed, and one wall will form a
large blackboard. The buildings will
be heated by stoves.
Building Commissioner Ittner, of
the School Board, who investigated
the system and reported favorably on
it, says: 'The portable schoolhouses
are exactly what st. Louis needs"

Though the persimmon is one O

for it has many desirable qualities
The fruit is scarcely known except il

feet. The persimmon tree, wild or

which is called also the American date
plum, is from half an inch to two
inches in diameter and Of various
forms. Green or partly ripe it is in
tensely astringent, but usually it
loses this unpleasant quality upon
ripening.
Persimmons do we'll on almost any
soil, as they have wide spread of
roots. The best soil, however, is the
same as that demanded by the peach

will yield two VI three bushels of
fruit, which, if OF good quality, brings
fair price in the larger cities.
AS arule the persimmon is unusual

and is richer in valuable food constit-

tive varieties are sweeter than tho

Persimmons usually are eaten
fresh. If stored in cool place they
will keep fresh for weeks. BY pack

be preserved, and some varieties can
easily be dried. They also may be
canned by placing the clean ripe fruit

AN AFRICAN POTENTATE
The Late King Bunu Of Swaziland and
His Subjects.

The Late King Bunu Of Swaziland and
His Subjects.
PROBABLY few persons outside o!
South Africa know that Bunu, king OF
the Swazies, ever lived until the news.
papers reported his death re, emily.
Yet he was an important parsonage in
his way. Bunu was king, or para.
mount chief of the Swazies, a warlike
race, an off-shoot Of the Zulus, in
labitlng large tract of country on
the eastern border of the Trausvaal.
Bunu's father was Clnbandine, fat,
good humored, friendly native, who
died few years ago.
When Bunu succeeded his late
father serious trouble between the
British AMI the Swa les began. Bum
was u young man, and largely under
the influence OF the queen.mother, who
was not nice lady. He made friends

The British government, by n seri-
GUS tactical mistake. handed over the
administration Of Swa Hand to the
Eoers, retaining some vague pr.tec
torate, which needed clearer detini-
ton. The Boers ma!administered the
country. They hal designs upon
bum, who, by dint of bribery and
corruption, was won over to their side.
That incensed the great mass of the
loyal Swazits, who only recognized
the Inkosisaas, or Great White Queen.
They hate the 1 oers, and not without
reason, for they have little to thank
them for. Hence the death OF Bunu
will remove a factor of difficulty from
the very complicated settlement Of
native affairs in the Transvaal,

and several important concessions
have been granted and are in course

The population of Swaziland is
about $4,000 natives; tn ire are prac-

The fighting strength OF the Swazies
may be pnt down Mt 5000 all told,
and they maintain all the old tradi
tons of the Zulus as to battle forma-
ton in impis or regiments, and they
are very strict disciplinarians.
The Swazies are great cattle. breed.
ers, and many of the native chiefs or
indunas own magnificent and very
valuable herds. Wives are battered
for cattle, and polygamy is recognized.
The women mostly follow agriculture al
pursuits, the mon look after the cattle
and devote themselves to hunting.
They are certainly less lazy than. the

Euller's Narrow Escape.

1t is related of General Butler that
once he had a very narrow escape from
having to abandon his military career.
Shortly before he joined the regiment
to which he had been gazetted as sub.
altern he cut his knee very badly with
an axe. The wound was so severe
that tho surgeon said the limb must
be amputated. Butler, however, said
that if he could not have two legs he
would have none at all, and the result
was that which usually happens in
such stories, the doctor was oil wrong
and Bulle: YES soon able to join his
regiment.
