tract the attention of chance passing vessels, and slept quite well at nights, for after the first few days the sea was smooth.
 He knew when it was day, for dim light penetrated the water
 On the twelfth day the Norwegian steamer Aurora saw the wreck and sent boat to take it in tow.
 Engellandt had fallen asleep, but hear ing footsteps over his head he began knocking with his hammer and shouting.
 The Aurora's men returned to their ship for tools. and bored hole through the wrecks keel where they had heard the knocking. When they drew out their borer a mans finger followed, and they soon learned that Engellandt had food for four days more and wished to be lowed to land, for it was impossible to release him in the open sea.
 He also desired to have the hole plugged again, as he was afraid that the loss of air would cause the ship to sink lower in the water
 The Aurora lowed the wreck safely to Neufahrwasser, where with considerable difficulty 1t was attached to a huge crane. plate was unloosed and the imprisoned captain freed.
 Engellandt was perfectly conscious, and even able to walk alone. He is 32 years of age and married.
 He has no idea what became of the three men constituting his crew.

THE FACES THAT SMILE.

By S. w. Gillian in Baltimore American. Brother, you are gazing backward toward
 the scenes of your mistakes; You are weeping OCT your errors till your
 proud heart almost breaks. You're repenting and regretting, you are
 signing, 70, alasi" And you're missing all the glories of the
 present as they pass. Leave the grim and grewsome picture
 look the other way awhile, For the face that's toward the future is
 the face that wears a smile. You are lost in contemplation of the
 blunders you have made; You are signing OCT the countless times
 your soul has been dismayed But the futures sun is shining on the
 futures verbant trees, And the futures birds are singing-you
 are missing all of these. Cease that useless gazing backward, look
 the other way awhile, For the faces toward the future are the
 only ones that smile. When your back is to the future then the
 blazing lamp of hope Throws your shadow OCT your landscape
 and with blinded eyes you grope For the blessings that have vanished with
 the times they strove to bless; Face about and you'll discover all your
 groping's fruitlessness. You'll De dazzled by the glory of the
 prospect for awhile. But with face turned to the future you will learn to wear smile

FURNISHING BED ROOM
 WITH VIEW TO HEALTH

cred with fresh mating. and wiped over every day with damp cloth to collect the dust. If rugs are used. several small ones which may be easily cleaned are better than single large one. and many pretty ones of domestic manufacture may be obtained. There should be as few cur tains as possible and no portieres. and the former should be washable and of a fabric which will allow the suns rays to penetrate. Light lowered cretonnes are refreshing, wash well, and when made into slip covers for the furniture are the eleanest covering.
 Brass beds are the most sanitary, but with a little care there should be no trouble with wooden beds. The bedding must be as light and open as possible, to allow the current of air to pass through. A silk coverlet, while it is non- conductor of heat and retains the heat of the body does not allow us to use the vital force which constantly sur- rounds us, so a pure wool blanket Is the best.
 ''The bed, 1t is believed by many, should always be placed with it's head toward the north pole in our northern hemis- phere, as the cool electric forces from the magnetic needle are needed in the brain, the most heated portion of the body. If two persons have to occupy the same room, two beds are an absolute necessity, especially if there be a differ ence in ages, as the older will always take the vital force from the younger.

 ff7 HE planning of the summer bed-
 0 room is worthy of more
 thought and care than Is gem orally accorded to 1t. for restful sleep is absolutely necessary to build up the brain cells. which are constantly being burned out during the waking hours" says Louise Cowperthwaite. Harmon iousness therefore Is immensely important for preserving a sane condition of mind.
 The color scheme of the bedroom is of great moment, for colors are the voices of light. Color is a great nerve stimulus. and change of color is oftener needed than change of air. White is the happy balance of all colors. and there fore gives an evenness of temper; 1t Is also the least absorber of germs and odors. We should have as much white as possible in our bedrooms. red bed- room, orr red In any of It's variations, could never be cool and restful, and in summer it Is particularly bad, owing to its heating influence on the blood. Blue gives coolness and rest, and has been found beneficial in the treatment of the insane. Yellow Is entirely too inspiring and very trying to the nerves. It had best be used sparingly. or in It's amber tones with blue. It is nearest to the color of the sun, but for rest we must have shadow. Green is soothing, and to many persons a better balance than blue.

The dismissal of Daniel V. Miller, assistant attorney general for the postoffice department, was quickly fol- lowed by the arrest of Augustus w.

KISSING FESTIVAL IS RESTORED.
oscuIation Ceremony Forbidden by English Authorities Is Resumed.

London.-Quaint old Hungerford has bridged Hocktide celebration. Last year the observance was prohibited and the delights of kissing were denied to the maidens of the remote Berkshire town. The origin of Hocktide at Hungerford Is lost in antiquity. For ages the town has kept up the ceremony of collecting the common pennies from the male residents
 The horn bequeathed by John O'Gaunt is sounded at a. m. outside the Corn Exchange to summon the townsfolk. and the town crier starts out on his mission to announce that all good folks must pay the tithe of one penny.
 Then the jury of commoners, sitting in pomp and majesty at the Three Swans, with the 'constable' at their head, pro- claim the tutti-men, who go forth to col- lect the pennies and kiss every lady who crosses their path.
 Last year certain residents objected to the kissing practice. and that feature of the annual event was eliminated in de- ference to the new moral code. But the maids and matrons were disappointed, and so this year the practice was restor- ed and most of them were kissed.
 The tutti-men went forth Tn the morn- ing, carrying floral slaves, determined to do their duty by kissing every lady who crossed their path and exacting penny from every male.
 The Hocktide jury had great difficulty in finding constable" to preside over their deliberations. One after another begged to be excused. and paid the s2o penalty rather than accept office. In despair a deputation waited on a towns man, but in vain. Finally, after $50 had
 
 Then the jury went to lunch, drowned their troubles in bowls of punch, puffed their churchwardens, and settled the af- fairs of the commonage and the river.

MRS. HApLEY A FAKE.

From the New Orleans Picayune

Washing ton. Is a fake. and that the southern people are being gulled into subscribing money.
 The letter states that the true facts in the case are generally known in In- dianapolis, and that Mrs Hadley did not refuse to make up the Washington bed. It is stated that hundreds of southern people, whose sentiment on the negro question has been appealed to have been duped Into sending money and wiring all kinds of congratulations when they do not know the facts in the case.

BEE sTINes FOR RHEUMATISM.

Berlin Cablegram to the New York Sun.
 Dr. Perc of Marburg addressed a bril- liant gathering of physicians the other day on the healing properties of bee stings in cases of rheumatism of the joints and muscles. The professor pointed out that it has been known from time immemorial as cure among the poorer classes of people. who have no faith in medical science. He has tested 1t thoroughly, and proved it's efficiency in 800 cases.
 If a patient Is suffering from rheuma- tism the stung part does not swell at first. nor until the bee poison is frequent ly introduced. Then the rheumatism pain gradually vanishes. pr. Perc allows his patients to be stung at first by a few bees and then gradually increases the number. In one sitting he allows seventy bees to sting the patient. He described the case of a woman who suffered ex- cruciating tortures from rheumatism. In the course of her cure she was stung 6920 times, and this resulted in a complete cure.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press
 Women have to learn to fiirt the way fish have to learn to swim.
 How a man proposes to a girl depends on how she arranges he shall do 1t.
 The only time the devil ever gets fooled Is when he hangs around a woman with a new baby.
 It takes a woman with open-work stockings and transparent shirt waist to make the hot weather man look like an unconscionable liar.
 When a man gets girl in a quiet cor ner and kisses her hand she feels like the man who goes to the races to bet on a sure thing. but walks home.

 By unloosening the boards of what was now the floor he got into the hold, which contained only loose sails. Fortunately some shelves of high cupboard standing in the cabin remained intact, and from them he collected two tins of condensed milk, three pounds of prunes, some rice, sugar and sausage. He also found a hammer.
 For twelve days the man lived in his prison, eating as sparingly as possible and drinking sea water. which appears to have had no i'll effect.
