miIed and worshiped the master, and
it is hard to be thrust back by those
whom we love.
When the sky in the east grew sud
denly gray, and quickly changed to
pink and gold, off rode the huntsmen.
Behind and beside them ran the gam
boiling beagles. On foot came beat
ers, horse boys, dOgboys, and a very
few bearing rifles. In the island Of
spices-Ceylon- must no more
shoot an elk than one would shoot a
fox, but run him fairly down with dog
and horse, and the keen hunting knife
to win the horns.
They were well in the wild Malulla
country before the SUN was hot. Thick
cts of jungle were there, and rocky
brooks and gullies deep and stony.

from here we heard his bark. I'll swear
it," growled McNaughton.
As he spoke near by a densely tan
gled thicket that no dog larger than
beagle could worry through, old York,
the veteran of many hunts, gave
tongue, barking as a terrier at a rat
hole.
An angry, roaring, barking cry! The
thicket is burst on the other side and
out runs the great elk, with spreading
horns thrown high and furious eyes.
Among the first behind him was the
swift runner, Rama.
The elk went straight away over
mountain shoulders; he crossed big
powdered brooks with a rush and a
bound. He scrambled down Jungle
covered ravines, deep and rocky, and
dashed up the other side. He climbed
the mountain, but the veteran beaters
were already there with waving arms
to head him off
With set lips-no yelling now-the
horsemen followed. And ever at his
heels the beagles and the swifter deer
hounds yelped and snapped.
Twice he plunged into deep jungle
and lay in the depths painting, but
the eager beagles worried him out.
From the second thicllet he fed,
wearied. McNaughton had watched
that thicket closely.
Back of us lies the Mulalla lake"
he condescended to explain; and
hardly had he spoken when the
jungle opened and out came the Wild
eyed elk and charged the crowd!
Clean through them all he burst.
Young PriOrs horse SHE'D and threw
him. The servants howled in dis
may and scattered. The elk rushed
right through and was again away.
Eve have lost him!"
"Head him Off"
Hes making straight for the
lake!"
But the dogs and McNaughton fol-
lowed, and, as swift as horse on
that uneven, stony ground, ran
Rama-Rama, the swiftest of run
ners.

needed, the upper end being securely
fastened aloft, and the lower end
drawn through the clamp until in po-
sition for the operator to insert his
feet in the stirrups and begin the
ascent. By supporting the weight
with the hands and spreading the feet
apart slightly the legs can be drawn
up to place the clamp in a new posi-
ton, when the weight is transferred
to the clamp and the hands secure
hold higher up on the rope. By thus
alternating the weight between the
clamp and the hands the climber
ascends quite rapidly and has the adj
vantage of being able to rest at any
point without any more exertion
than would be required to stand on
the ground. Charles f. Knop, of De-
troit, Mich, is the inventor.-Chicago

nected with each other that parallel
ism of the pointer is maintained with
the deviating line of the gun sight.
The bull's-eye mark is located in the
line which the pointer occupies when
the gun is truly sighted, and there is
also an adjustable mirror, which is
used for bringing the images of the
pointer and the bulns-eye within the
visual range of the instructor. When
the trigger is pulled the automatic
clamp serves to lock the parts in the
proper positions, and the clamp itself
is held in readiness for action by
means of setting devices.-Detroit

ROPE-CLIMBING DEVICE.
II Consists of Camping Jaws Which
Hold a Man Suspended by His
own Weight.

In our illustration is shown a rather
unique device to enable person to
climb a rope and hold himself sus-
pended by his own weight, the inven-
ton being especially adapted for use
in mending standpipes, painting chim-
neys and other work where it is diff
cult to support a scaffold convenient-
ly. This apparatus consists of a pair
of hinged members, with footholds at
the outer ends and clamp near the
joint, composed of two semi-circular
jaws, which are forced together by the
weight of the person whose feet are
in the footholds. In the employment
of this device but a single rope is

MY DEN.

I've a "den"that's all my own,
That the maid must let alone;
Though it be in disarray,
Thus the maid must let it stay.
Pens are lying everywhere;
No ones moved the old armchair;
Manuscript is scattered Ger
Desk and table, couch and floor.
Pipes are where put them last;
Papers, too, where they were cast,
And the carpet doth display
Ashes that have missed the tray.
Thus I'd always have my den"
But, alas! like other men,
I've a wife who grieves to see
That can thus happy be.
That my ways her patience tries
! can gather from her signs,
And at times, in sheer despair,
She invades and cleans my la.
] can bar the serving maid,
But my wife is not afraid;
She ''arranges" now and then
Book and paper, chair and pen.
Woe is me! in such a case
Everything is in its place;
Order doth my Wife create,
Leaving me disconsolate.
Things are then concealed from me,
For they're where they ought to be;
I'm in worst of human plights
When my den" is put to rights"

While many people have been cured
OF chronic catarrh by single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed more than
one bottle is necessary to complete a
cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer-
able OF catarrh Of twenty years stand
ing. 1t is the best, if not the only inter
nal remedy for chronic catarrh in ex-
istence.
But prevention is far~6etter than cuss:
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the
slightest symptom of cold or sore throat
at this season of the year and thus pre-
vent what is almost certain to end in
chronic catarrh.

THE season of catching cold is upon

THE season of catching cold is upon
1 us. The cough and the sneeze
and the nasal twang are to be
heard on every hand. The origin of
chronic catarrh, the most common and
dreadful of diseases, is cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches
cold, which hangs on longer than usual.
The cold generally starts in the head
and throat. Then follows sensitive
ness of the air passages which incline
one to catch cold very easily. At last
the person has a cold all the while
seemingly, more or less discharge from
the nose, hawking, splitting, frequent
clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped
up, full feeling in the head, and sore,
inf1amed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh isat the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop
erly used, never fails to cure a common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.

darkness and the fear of getting the
life line entangled in the wreckage.
Search for the body will be resumed
In the morning. The other bodies have
been recovered.
The question as to the identity of the
passenger killed in the collision occu-
pied the minds of the steamboat Of
ficials. tonight. 1t was believed at first
that the victim was John NJ. Thomp-
son of Allegheny, Pa, but Mr.. Thomp-
son appeared, this afternoon, in COM
pany with some local friends with
whom he had been staying. The man
now thought to have been the victim
apparently signed himself on the pur-
ser's list sc. II. Nosten," though the
signature is a little obscure and may
be G. III. Marsten or Masten. The body
lies in an undertaking shop awaiting
word from relatives or friends. All
the mans outer clothing. as well as his
personal effects were swept away in
the crash. His residence is unknown.
A rumor was current in this city,
this afternoon, that several Italian
workmen, steerage passengers on the
Plymouth, were missing. These men
were in the deck cabin on the sarboard
side and the Tauntons bow crashed
through the compartment like knife
through paper. 1t was in this cabin
that Waterman Mccarthy was killed
Officials of the company who We're
asked regarding the matter, tonight,
said that as far as they knew all the
steerage passengers had been account
ed for, although they admitted that it
was possible that one or two might
have been swept overheard when the
Taunton's bow raked the steerage COM
partment, or might have rushed
through the gap into the water in their
fright.
The number of passengers was larger
than usual at this season, about $50,
and that more people did not lose their
lives is considered little short of mi
raculous.
Capt. J. w. Miller, general manager
of the department of marine construc-
ton of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad Co., reached this
city, early in the afternoon, but said
he was not in q position to make a
statement, for the reason that he had
not yet had an opportunity to exam
inc into the occurrence. When asked
for a list of the passengers, Mr.. Mil
Ter stated that, according to the usual
rules of the company the list had been
sent to the Fall River office, but he
believed that the deaths were fully
covered by the reports of The Asso-
ciated Press sent out earlier in the
day.
A detachment of United States ma
rines under the command of Cap. Low.
who We're passengers on the Plymouth,
had peculiar experience. Awakened
from a sound sleep, the soldiers rush
ed from the lower cabin where they
We're quartered, without outer clothing
or shoes. They were largely instru-
mental in averting a panic among the
other passengers, and while engaged in
this laudable work their clothing and
effects were lost. The soldiers made
outer clothing out of blankets and even
| cut the blankets into strips and wound
them around their feet to replace their
shoes. In this condition the marines

AT FALL RIVER.
Meetings of Unions at Early Date to
Consider Action.

Fall River, Mass, March 20.-A meet
ing Of the carders of the yarn mills will
be held, next Thursday. to hear the re-
port of the conference committee which
conferred with Treasurer Knowles of
the New England Cotton Yarn Co. in
Bedford. The secretary of the Carders
Union, James Tansey, who is also presi-
dent of the United Textile Workers of
America, refused, tonight, to discuss
the situation and would make no fore
cast of the prOable outcome.
That the various labor matters which
are now attracting attention are con-
sidered very important is shown by the
fact that summonses have been sent
to every member of the executive COM
mittee of the Textile Workers of
America. On ordinary occasions only
the Fall River and New Bedford Off
GERS meet, but for Mondays meeting
members Nave been Summoned from
Lawrence, Ipswich, Chicopee, Paw
tucket, Manayunk, Pa. Augusta, Me-,
and Langley, s. c.
A meeting Of the yarn mills spinners
has been called for Wednesday night.
Secretary ODonnell, said, tonight,
that no action could be taken until at
ter the national convention in Boston,
April Z. He thought that the accusa-
lions from Lowell that labor men here
are anxious to see a strike in Lowell
come from irresponsible persons and
should not be noticed.

BIG ScHCONERs COLLIDE.
Portland Craft Sebago Hit by an Un'
known Vessel.

Chatham, Mass, March 20.-ThC
large 3-masted Portland schooner Sc
bago collided with a 4-masted vessc
during the night on Nantucket shoals
and was badly damaged. This morn
ing, when the Sebago anchored off this
port she struck on the bar and at II
A. M. was pounding heavily.
The vessel with which she collided
was q 4-masted schooner, but her iden-
tity or extent OF the injury sustained
by her could not be learned by the
crew of the Sebago. So far as known
no lives, were lost. 4
The Portland schooner was bound
from New York for her home port with
cargo of coal The Sebago was butt
at, East Deering, Me-, in 1888, ana reg
listers 307 tons gross.
A tug arrived, this afternoon, and
aided by wreckers from chatham sue
ceeded in floating the Sebago, which
proceeded north, tonight, in tow OF the
tug. a crew of eight wreckers in
charge of Underwriters Agent. NAL
loves is on board the vessel to assist
in keeping her free from water.
The wreckers had thrown some cargo
overheard, patched up the hole in the
how and pumped her partially clear
of water. After the schooner got over
the bar the fog shut in again.
BY MANY here it is thought the tug
viii take the schooner to Portianu' ner
destination, while the likelihood IS that
the wreckers will prefer to De towed
into Boston.
