Faces That Live Forever.

It is impossible to say exactly which people have changed least in facial ap- spearance, because we have no records of sufficient antiquity. There are pre- served in Egyptian temples paintings which are at least 4,000 years old, and yet the figures of men represented on them cannot be distinguished from types now existing. There is, how ever, reason to believe that the facial appearances of the lower races are the most persistent. Civilized men lead highly complex lives, and are able to rapidly adapt themselves to new con ditions by alterations in their physical and intellectual nature. Savage men do not possess this power ina equal degree, and are therefore likely to re- tain the same facial characters for q longer time. Mental development shows itself most of all in the face, which is accordingly apt to change most rapidly in the higher races Pearson's Weekly.

FRUIT STEAMER ASHORE.
Finally With Aid of Donkey Engines
 Dragged Herself Ashore.

Salem, Mass, Aug 15.-The United Fruit company's steamer Ethelw0ld, bound from Puerta Plata. Sandaningo. for Boston with bananas is re- ported ashore on Bakers Island, of this harbor. It Is thought she lost her course in the fog.
 At 9:30 a. m. the Etheiwold was afioat Her crew threw out anchors astern, after 1t had been found that none of the sharp rocks upon which she rested had pierced her hull, and with the aid of her donkey engines, she dragged herself clear of the rocks.
 The inhabitants of Bakers Island were awakened just before o'clock this morning by shriIl and long con- tinued whistling of a steamer and in- yestigation showed that she had struck on the middle breakers" sharp, bare rocks, about half a mile from the island. It was low water at the time and the fog was very dense.
 A l0bsterman who was hauling his pots near the ledge. took the first mate of the Ethelwold to Marblehead ill his dory and from there the fact of the accident to the vessel was telegraphed
 
 mate announced that the propeller of the vessel was broken and she was also somewhat damaged about the bow, but in his opinion. she would float at high water and could be lowed to her home port. She rested easy and as the sea was perfectly calm, she did not pound at all.
 At o'clock the crew of the vessel began to throw overheard considerable quantities of the cargo of bananas and then by the use of anchors she was warped into deep water.
 As the propeller of the steamer is broken she was compelled to wait for tugs to tow her to Boston. Apparent ly the injury to the propeller is the only serious damage sustained by the vessel

A Fortune Waiting.


 A fortune awaits the man who will nvent good substitute for leather. Eobody has yet succeeded in ap- preaching it, unless it be an inventor who has just patented fabric which he proposes to use, in particular, as material for the inner soles of shoes and boots, though it may be em- ployed for other purposes. It strong ly resembles what is known as "split" sole leather, but is much cheaper and claims to be superior, being water proof, as we'll as stronger. The man ufacturer of this imitation leather uses the fine sole leather dust given off by the bufhng rolls used upon sole leather. Hitherto this dust has been waste product, but the new inven- tion combines it with gum and em- ploys it in this shape to form a coat ing on one or both sides of canvas or other similar fabricf As it dries, 8 sprinkling of dry leather dust is add ed, and the fabric 4thusstreated is passed between rollers, So as to cause the leather dust to be firmly imbed- ded in the fabric and combined with it. The result is material that looks much like leather and is very durable. Saturday Evening Posts

NO WIND FOR YACHTS.
Constitution and Columbia Quit on
 Even Terms.


 Newport, R. l., Aug 15.-After a drifting match of three hours and for ty minutes yesterday the Columbia and Constitution gave up the race and were lowed back to the city. At that time the wind had fallen to fiat calm, nei- ther boat had steerage way and the outer mark was still over four miles away. The race will not be re-sailed to-day, as both boats are now, on their way up the Sound in tow. to be on hand for the Larchmont event on Friday. When the race was given up there was nothing to choose between the two yachts. So far as could be judged the distances to the turning buoy were about equal.
 The Constitution was the first to run in the calm streak, being then about an eighth of mile ahead and slightly to windward. The Columbia carried her wind little longer and ran up on even terms. Then for half an hour there was not wind enough to stir the racing pennants and seeing no hope of finish till long after dark, at 3:22 both boats gave it up. srfaei3,s s.sy

GoRED BY A BULL.
Ten Year Old Boy in Critical Condi-
 tion-Dog Tried to Save Him.

WillimaRtic, Aug 15.-While going after the cows on his fathers farm in South Coventry yesterday afternoon, about sunset Edward Haurigan, aged 10, was attacked and terribly gored by vicious 2-year-Old bull. Although there was no witness of the occurrence 1t is believed that a dog which was with the boy fought bravely for his young masters life and probably pre- vented him from being killed outright. Young Haurigan was knocked down and gored in several places, the icavi- -ty of the left lung and the abdomen also being pierced by the horns of the bull. The body was frightfully bruised also by the animals hoofs. He man. aged to make his way unassisted to- ward his home until he attracted the attention of his parents. Physicians who attended pronounce his condition as critical. The dog was covered wi-h bllod and bruises and had evidently had a savage fight with the bull, al- though the boy has not yet been able to tell the story of the encounter.

KiilIns Ra,fs with Gas.

Some interesting experiments have taken place at the London docks to show the effect of new system for the extermination of rats on board ships. The vessel is charged with sul- phur dioxide gas, which apparently has the effect of attracting the rats from their. hiding places, and as soon as they breathe the fumes they be- come suffocated. In the experiments on the steamer Gourkha several hun- dred rats were destroyed in few minutes by means of the gas, which has no injurious effect upon the dac- orations of the saloon.

from Gen. Beastons column were sur
prised in camp at Steenkoolspruit by SUI

were slightly wounded. Only two officers
and so men escaped to Gen. Beaston' S camp.

London, June 1.-THE serious re-
verse which Lord Kitchener reports is
the first accident of the kind that has
happened to the Australian contin-
gent, and it is supposed to be due to
neglect of proper picketing. Although
