RUTH HAD
HARD TRIP
Only Through tho Use Of Oil
Was tho Big Collier Saved
From Founding in Mid-0caan

With the arrival In port yesterday of
the Norwegian steamship Ruth from
Blyth. England. with a cargo of ssei tons
OF coal. tho number OF foreign steamers
ia port with coal was Increased 10 eight.
The Ruth sailed from Blyth. Jan. Is.
and. like MI the other vessels TO arrive
here OF late, reports very stormy pas
sage. For week she experienced strong
westerly gales with very heavy sea.
When In mid ocean her steam steerin z
gear broke The great craft fell into the
trough OF the sea. and the great waves
began TO break clear over her. One wave.
larger than the rest, filed her after deck
fun of water from rail 10 rail One OF
the crew was caught in this water. and
washed back and forth with great force
as tho ship rolled but he was not serious
ly hurt
Fearing that the vessels upper works
would not stand the terrific pounding
OF the seas which was steadily breaking
over her. Capt. Helsen ordered the use OF
OIL. both from bow and stern. This pre-
vented the breaking or the seas on the
vessel, md after six hours OF lying prac-
tically helpless. repairs 10 the steering
gear were completed and the ship pro-
ceeded. She sustained no other damage.
This steamer Is one OF the largest ves-
sells that ever came 10 this port. being
$40 feet long. 4s feet wide and 20 feet
draft. The Ruth was unable TO get into
the harbor which was over-crow wded.
and Pilot Dodge anchored her between
Pomham light and Fields Point
A present the harbor is crowded with
vessels mostly coal carriers and now the
fuel promises to become as great a drug
on the market as ii was a scarcity a
few weeks ago. The harbor has been fill
ing up for a week, vessels arriving faster
than they sailed.
Among tho vessels now In port awaiting
unloading are the five five ma asted schoon-
ers Nathaniel I. Palmer Baker Palmer,
Rebecca Palmer. William c. Carnegie and
Mary f. Barrett. Nearly a score Of four
masters are here. most OF them OF the
largest type William r. Palmer. Mar

The schooner Nathaniel T. Palmer,
which arrived yesterday. brought 1000
tons OF coal for the Consolidated railroad.
and made a flying trip from Norfolk
She did the distance from Hampton Roads

up the Jersey coast the Palmer was rae
ing the six master Eleanor r. Percy. and
finally showed the Percy a clean pair OF

rule as to which foot to try first. 1t
is true, nevertheless, that in major
ity Of cases If you succeed in fitting
the left foot you will have no trouble
with the right, My practice is to try
both feet before l pronounce a pair of
shoes a perfect fit Then 1 am sure
Of avoiding any mistake growing out
of peculiarities Of foot formation.
mo two people have feet formed ex-
acty alike, and the shoe salesman who
thinks so and is governed accordingly
will meet with many complaints. For
some time pondered over the problem
of fitting shoes to feet and especially
as to why the left foot should be con-
sidered the standard by which to be
governed. The only rational theory
have ever been able to evolve is a very
simple one when you come to consider
it. Nine out of ten people you meet
are right-handed, as we say About
one person in ten, or perhaps the per
cent is even less than that, uses his
left hand. If you will observe a per-
son who uses the right and when he
or she is standing and talking they
invariably rest their weight on the left
foot And Vice versa, a left-handed
person will rest his or her weight on
the right foot. The result is that with
right-handed. people the left foot is
probably a fraction larger than the

inevitably find this to be a fact soon
er or later. That, in my opinion, is
the explanation Of the common belief
that the left foot is the standard to
go by in the fitting Of shoes. But, as
have already said, there is no rule
that is absolutely safe to follow, and
my plan is always to fit both feet be

One correspondent writes of the case
Of a woman who buys the groceries for

self and two grown daughters from
the profits of the poultry yard. This
is not an exceptional case and can be
done on the majority Of farms If the
man will give his wife and daughters

raising is too small business for a
farmer, his wife will be glad to take

Succaasion of Crops.

In a rotation a shallow and deep.
roofing crop should follow each other,
so that the demand for plant food ID
shifted. Crops that produce humuS
and crops that consume humus should
alternate, or, If possible, be raised to-
gether. Crops should be rotated so
that fertilizing materials left by the
preceding crop are III the best condi.
ton for the succeeding crop. The weak
feeding crop, If 1t is. desirable one,
should be put in the rota ton when the
fertllizing substances are in the most
available form. Crops Of dissimilar
feeding habits should follow each
other.

Farm Notes.

The crab apple is one of the hardest
of trees, and as there is nearly always
demand for crab apples in market,
they are found profitable by some. The
blossoms are beautiful in spring, and
the trees are more ornamental than
some which are used for shade and or
nament. The large and growing de-
mand for pure jelIies and preserves
should create a larger market in the
future for crab apples.
Roller process bran is, on the aver
age, better than old process bran. Bran
Is rich in ash, or mineral matter
which renders it a suitable food for
growing animals. 1t serves well with
all foods which are lacking in line or
bone forming material, and 10 valuable
In the manure heap. 1t may not be
equal to linseed meal or some other
foods, for certain purposes, but It is
food that should always be used.

calves and proceeded to help them

Lime and sulphur Wash.

Fruit growers are quite interested in
the formula composing the new in
secticlde, lime and sulphur, but have
found the labor of making 1t consd-
cradle because Of the necessity for boil
ing the mixture. Recent experiments
have shown that If potash or caustic
soda is used there will be no neces-
sity for boiling. The formula for max
Ing in this way is this: Take twenty
pounds of sulphur, forty pounds Of
lime, five pounds Of caustic soda and
sixty gallons of water. Make a thin
paste Of the sulphur and dissolve the
caustic soda in water.
In shaking the lime, use only enough
water to make 1t boil rapidly. During
the process. Of shaking, pour into the
lime the sulphur paste, and then the
caustic soda solution, adding water If
necessary, and stirring rapidly until
all bubbling stops, when dilute with
water to the consistency and strength
needed for the spraying. The use Of
this material In spraying Is not only
a decided check on scale, but very eff
, fective against various insects. APP
plications may be made in the late
fall. in midwinter and in the early
spring.

Koanirz Sweet Potatoes,

To keep well sweet potatoes should
be dug when the soil Is quite dry and
afterward spread thin to cure for ten
days at least in an outbuilding secure
from rain and frost. Road dust one
third Of which is composed Of fine sand
is best for packing in. Place layer Of
dust in the bottom Of box or barrel or
whatever Is used to pack in, then
layer of potatoes, being careful to COW
er every potato completely with dust
before adding the next layer The last
layer is dust. We keep sweet potatoes
in this manner all winter, and they
seem as fresh as when first packed.
We keep them in an clubhouse until
severely cold weather, merely covering
the boxes with carpeting, etc. When
severe cold sets in they are removed to
room where a fire is kept part Of the
day only. Failure to keep we'll Is often
due to too much heat or packing away
in too warm materials.-Cor. Ohio

War Prevented by Delay.

An example that can never be over
looked when the right of an ambassa-
dor to exercise his own discretion is
in question Is that which occurred in
the career of Lord Lyons, when he
was our ambassador to the United
States. He was persona grata there.
All l can say, Lord Lyons, Is Go
thou and do likewise" was Abraham
Lincoln's genial method Of receiving
the British ambassadors announce
ment Of King Edwards marriage.
Lord Lyons did not take the advice,
but he remained very effective am
bassador in spite Of his bachelorhood.
When the grave difficulty over the
Mason and Slidelt case arose Lord
Lyons was instructed from home to
present an ultimatum, afford twelve
hours for its acceptance and, the lat
ter not being Forthcoming, he was to
break off diplomatic relations and
leave the country. The twelfth hour
expired, Slidell and Mason were not
surrendered and there remained ap-
parently only the dire prospect of war.
"Give me another twelve hours" said
Secretary Seward, the secretary Of
state. 1t was entire contradiction Of
official orders, but, nevertheless, 81
will" said Lyons. From six o'clock
that night until six next morning Sc
ward battled with the recalcitrants.
Then Lyons received an tntimation
that the confederate ENJOYS would be
given up. So by the characterization
of an ambassador war was saved.-St.

yer Ii not likely to succeed, so that
something that will add humus to the
soil should be used rather than to at
tempt to get the benefit Of the leg
umes. For sowing in an orchard of
this kind rye will probably be most
satisfactory. 1t should be sown about
the LIST Of September, and plowed un-
der in the early spring, and then the

taken up again. 1t Is quite probable
that following this method will put
the soil in shape so that another fall

The conclusion Is that returns are
bound to be profitable in land treated
as were the plants in the experiments
cited-especially as to kainit or straw
Another thing shown is that the influ
ence of the treatment Is bound to be

will the more readily respond to labor
