Brown, nov of tic toIboat Gaspee,
was married Saturday night by the
Rev. Charles Deniicld to Miss Clara l..
Pickering of Edgewood. VINO owes her
life to the captains act.
1t was on the I'd of last July. 1t was
rather stormy, late in the day, with
thunder, lightning and squalls, and
among the craft that were Oil the bay
was shopping yacht, iii which party,
consisting of j. Walter Pickering, Mrs.
Pickering, their Two daughters and
Agda johnson and Ethel Tucker, was
out on a pleasure trip. When they
were off Potter's Cove at Prudence
island, the boat was struck by sqVall
and was capsized. There was small
rowboat with the sailboat, but no oars,
and when the accident came the occu-
pants had to take to the bottom of the
yacht, as the smaller boat would hold
but three.
The women were in the cabin when
the squall struck them, and it was
necessary to break the windows in Or

would not hold all, and there was

O broom. They disappeared iii the
darkness, leaving Mrs. Pickering and
one daughter and Miss Johnson lying
upon the boats side, which was about
IS inches above the surface of the wat
er for about six feet of her length. For
four hours they lay clinging TO the
boat as best they could. with hands
that had been badly cut by the Jagged
edges of the cabin windows.
About 10 o'clock the tug Gertrude,
with two barges in town, which had
left Providence early in the evening,
reached the vicinity, and Capt. T. e.
Brown thought he heard faint cry
for help. He steered toward the sound
and found the women clinging to the
boat. They wero nearly exhausted
and probably could not have hold on
more than Is minutes longer. Capt.
Brown called to his mate, and, bring

Horned Horses.

Prof. Woodward, of the Natural
History Museum, of South Kenslng-
ton, London, who has been engaged
for some time past in excavating at
Pikermi, near Marathon, has recently
completed his work. One OF the
most valuable discoveries is collec-
tion of heads Of horned horses. They
were unearthed at Euborea, where
the professor carried on some expert
mental excavations for palaeonto-
logical remains. In addition to the
heads CT the horned horses, the heads
and shin bones of rhinoceri and other
prehistoric animals were discovered.
1t is curious that out of the six places
in the world where the remains of the
horned horse have been found three
are in Greece and a fourth in Samos,
in the Greek archipelago.

Of how many thousands of human
lives are annually saved by the con.
scientious attention of these men to
their work. In the inspecting and re-

railroads are employed not less than
100000 men, to whose skill and qhiclt
perception the public awes debt Of

The average passenger train is thor

for a thorough inspection. Four men;
two at each end, begin the work of

which are liable to get out of order.
These men from both ends meet at
the middle OF the train, and the in

The waiting stockman had scarcely
passed friendly greetings with the
squad which mad ridden up from Emu

pushed itself around the bend and

"No-its a race, Give III the road!

A, WINGED CRIMINAL.
One of the Possibilities of the Future
Aerial Navigation.

"In looking over New York paper
recently-I noticed that Edison said
humanity ought to be ashamed of it.
self for not having solved the problem
of aerial navigation" said an observ-
ant citizen; ,"and ]. guess Edison must
be rightaeout It. 1t would seem that an
age of such marvellous achievements
along other lines ought to have solved
this interesting and important prob
lem. Can't we do as much as the
birds? But l was thinking of the
many possibilities which are wrapped
up in this; problemy and when we come
to thinlSof it the sudden solution Of
the problem. while it would be of great
benefit to huwsnity, would bring into
existence a fair quota of embarrass-
ments. 1t would change the whole as
pect OF the situation in many respects.
There would no doubt be balloon
elopements. and hot pursuits through
the air and ndroccasionally. the fellows
who was making away with some
other fellows girl would find himself
dropping toward the earth at rather
rapid rate: Or If he should happen
to be On, wings, according to some OF
the contrivances which have been de-
yised, iiei might lose a few feathers
and faligijust the same.
But. really. there is more serious
way OF looking at the possibilities of
the flying machine Take the criminal
classes, for instance. What would
hinder the safe, blower, the burglar
and the murderer from sailing out in
to the air after the commission of a
desperate offense? If they used bal
looms they could simply cut the lines
and be gone-in jiffy. If they used
any other appliance the result would
be the same. They would simply float
out into the open air. Policemen
would have to wear balloons. else they
would have to be provided with wire-s.

The First Actresses.

Until the time of Charles II. there
were no actresses, the women's parts
being taken by effeminate-looking
men or boys. A good story is told of
a certain play at which the King was
kept waiting a long time, in spite Of
his frequent remonstrances. At last
he became angry, and the manager
was obliged to tell the truth: "An'
it please you. sire, the Queen is shaw
ing!" The King was so tickled that
he spent the rest of the time he was
obliged to wait in laughing merrily.
Pepys mentions in his Diary that on
Jan. 8, 1861, he first saw women Oil
the stage, but this was not the first
time they had appeared. for in De,
cember, 1860, woman had appeared
as Desdemona.
