SAVED BY STATE OF TEXAS.
Schooner Erie Wrecked ON Frying
Fan Shoals Sunday-Crew Pick
ed Up by Capt. EIdridge After
narrowing Experience.

Baltimore, April 9.-The steamship
State of Texas, which arrived here to-
day, had on board Capt. Berry and the
crew OF six men of the wrecked schooner
Erie, picked up at sea last Sunday. The
Erie was wrecked the day before on Fry
ing Pan shoals, and her master and crew
were drifting almost exhausted on a rart
when rescued by Capt. Eldridge of the
State of Texas.
Capt. Berry of the Erie, which belongs
to Jacksonville, Fla, says the vessel was
bound with lumber from Savannah to
Yarmouth, N. S. On Saturday April 6.
she encountered heavy seas and dense
fogs. In fierce gale she was driven on
Frying Pan shoals.
At the time the Erie went aground the
wind was blowing a terrific gale and the
weather was so heavy that it was impos-
sible to see more than a few yards ahead
The sails were blown to shreds and then
the vessel became unmanageable. Ship
and crew were at the mercy of the ele-
ments and late Saturday the vessel was
sent crashing on the dangerous shoals.
Inc snip was Peaklng badly, but her cargo
of lumber had kept her a1oat. Shortly
after striking, she began to go to pieces.
AS wave after wave swept the lumber off
her decks it also carried away the masts
and then Capt. Berry and his men
lashed themselves to the after-house. All
through the night the seven men were
buffeted about by the rough seas, which
continuously broke over them, and which
were beating their little float to pieces.
Even when they were taken off by the
State of Texas, the little house was slow
ly sinking and the men were up to their
knees in water.
They had neither provisions nor drinking
water, and when rescued some of them
were so weak they had to be assisted
aboard their rescuer.

THOUGHTS FROM RUSKIN.

Faithful prayer always implies cor
relative exertion.
You may assuredly find perfect
peace if you are resolved to do that
which your Lord has plainly required.
There is only one place where man
may be nobly thoughtless-his death
bed. No thinking should ever be left
to be done there.
God always gives US strength and
sense enough for what be wants us to
do. II we either tire ourselves, it is
our own fault.
Surely no one can always know
what is right. Yes, you always can
for to-day; and if yoa do what you
see of it to-day, you will see more to-
morrow.
No one can ask honestly or hope
fully to be delivered from temptation
unless he has himself honestly and
firmly determined to do the best he
can to keep out OF it.
There is no music in crest" that l
know of, but there's the making Of
music In it. And the people are al
ways missing that part of the life mel
ody, always talking of perseverance
and courage and fortitude; but pa
tience is the finest and worthiest part
of fortitude, and the rarest, too.

and the renown of such feats as the
capture of Valdivia (for Chile) and of
the Esmeralda for Peru was increased
by the results to which they immedi-
ately conduced. 1t is possible that
without him Chile might have achieved
her own independence and that of
Peru. The detailed history of the war
shows that more probably she wonld
have succumbed to the better organi-
zetion and discipline of Spain.
"Dundonald's very remarkable Ca
reer, distinguished above all others by
the attainment of great results with
small means, has deservedly won for
him very high place in the roll of
naval commanders. What he might
have done has been argued from what
he did, and lie has thus been estimated
as one of the greatest Of our admirals.
1t is impossible to speak too highly Of
his daring yet cool courage, or Of the
quaint inventive genius which directed
it, but it is equally impossible to assign
him any place among the great mas
ters of naval tactics for which he never
had any opportunity" There might
have been added opportunity the ad.
miralty denied him. Washingtou Post.

ONLY A MASK.

Many are not being benefited by the
summer vacation as they should be.
Now, Notwithstanding much outdoor
life, they are little if any stronger
than they were. The tan on their
faces is darker and makes them look
healthier. but this is only mask. They
are still nervous, easily tired, upset by
triles, and they do not eat nor sleep
we'll. What they need is what tones
the nerves, perfects digestion, creates
appetite. and makes sleep refreshing,
and that is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Pu-
pills and teachers generally will find
the chief purpose Of the vacation best
subserved by this great medicine
which, as we know, "builds up the
whole system"

THE RICHEST AMERICAN
CITIES.

There is no way in which the diffu-
sion of wealth among the inhabitants
of American cities may be gagged
with absolute precision, but the amount
Of personal property held in each fur
nishes one test, for it includes gener-
ally bonds, cash, money, furniture,
jewelry, equipages, stocks and money
invested in business.
1t is fact we'll known, of course,
that the general taxation Of all such
personal property is impossible, that
a considerable portion of its escapes
taxation and considerable portion of
it too is exempted by law, but the re-
lation which personal property of one
big city bears to that of another fur
nishes fair guide TO the wealth of
each.
By this standard New York ranks
first among American cities, but not
very far in advance of the city of Bos-
ton, one of the oldest, and most opu-
lent OF America municipalities, and
one in which personal property bears
the relation of one to four of real es-
tate value in New York it is only one
to six.
Following New York and Boston,
which are at the head of the list OF the
richest American cities, comes San
Francisco with one hundred and twen-
ty million dollars of taxed personal
property, condition of afiuence due
to the vast property which has come
from the Pacific coast mines the chief
owner of which, or their descendants,
have an actualor at least, a legal resi-
dence in the Golden Gate city.
Following San Francisco is Baiti,
more, one of the most substantial mu-
inequalities of the United States, with
larger amount Of personal property
taxed then San Francisco, but with
much larger population as well.
Following Baltimore comes Chicago
and then Detroit, st. Louis, Provi-
dence, one of the wealthest of Ameri-
can cities; New Orleans and Indian
apolis.

ORICH MAN, DO YOU THINK?
Rich Man, as you sit upon
The porch that overooks the sea
And fan yourself and sip cool drinks
And wipe your forehead weary,
Do you think of, do you care,
For the gasping ones back there
In the novels, packed together where there poison
in the air?
Have you given, have you done
Aught to save some little one
In the overcrowded city, searching meath the cruel
o Rich Man, as you lie at ease
Where mountain brooks are cool and clear
And gaze across your wooded hills
And hear them laugh that you hold dear.
DO you think Of them at all
Who by hundreds, gasping fall.
Where the dust they breathe Is poison and the sun
beats on the wall?
Is there one who tut for you
Might be lying stricken, too,
Might be dying in some hove that no sweet wind
passes through?
0 Rich Man, as you walk the deck
Where you are king AMI host, and 60
Toll free across the sea in search
OF climes where cool, sweet breez blow,
Do you think of them that sigh
And must toll on till they die,
Where the children in the shadows of the novels,
gasping, lie?

There are children and their mothers who bless

IMAGINARY ILLNESSES.
DOCTORS DECLARE THAT IMAGINATION IS
A DISEASE IN THE ORIENT.

DOCTORS VINO nave practlceQ mucn IN
India and other Eastern countries, tell
US that there nothing so difficult as to
treat a native who has once made up
mind that his illness will be fatal. No
matter if he is only slightly i'll, once
he has decided his time for dying has
come, it straightway comes, for the
mind has such an influence on the
body that, just in the same way very
strong-willed person refuses to give up
his fight for life even in the face of the
verdict, "there is no hope," so the In
dian says, II must die," and does it.
1t is certainly fact that the ILL.,
nesses from which a great many peo-
pie suffer are purely imaginary, but it
is also fact that if they persevere in
their. imaginings for long enough the
illnesses may become more real than
they like. These imaginary invalids
are a perfect mine of wealth to doctors
and druggists, and swallow more pills
and potions in week than ordinary
people would consume in q year.
Their food has to be weighed out and
their drink measured with minute pre-
cision, for there is no telling what ter
rible results might ensue if a quarter
of an ounce more bread were eaten or
drop more fluid drank than is set
forth in the dietary whereby they regu-
late their meals.
If you ask them how they are they
are never more than "a little better"
or "fairly well for me-" and we can
only wonder that, considering the way
they worry over themselves, they can
truthfully admit even as much as this.
There can be no illness of any kind in
the neighborhood without their feeling
perfectly certain that it will attack
them. If once in q while their health
permits them to take a walk and they
chance to see friend who had influ-
enza short time ago, instantly they
cross the road, so that there can be
no possibility Of infection. There are
occasions when even with the greatest
care cherry or some other fruit stone
is swallowed, and il such an awful
thing should happen to one of these
imaginary invalids never-ending
cause for anxiety is provided, for who
can say that it may not produce some
terrible illness? If one talks to these
inyalids on fine day the gloomy and
respondent conversation is almost
enough to make the sun hide his face,
and if you have the misfortune to be
with them for half an hour or so on q
wet day you may almost be forgiven
if your desire to use language the re-
verse Of polite is very nearly uncon-
trollable.
