a STRUGGLE WITH THE ICE.

The last craft to get through at the
end Of the season often gains some
thing of reputation. Practical rea-
sons prevent any stoppage until the
last moment possible The longer a
vessel runs, the greater the freights
earned, and often chances are taken.
No boat ever had a more typical and
exciting trip than the Hutchinson in
the year just passed. On the evening
of November 30 the Hutchinson, in a
high sea and driving snow storm, ran
on an uncharted rock in Lake Supe-
rior. The sharp points tore hole
through the bottom Of the big vessel.
In sudden terror some of the firemen
and crew made for the small boats,
but were driven back by the captain.
Rockets pierced the darkness, and a
huge bale of infiammable stuff soaked
IN kerosene was set flaming at the
masthead. Fires were lighted on the
steel decks, and all night long the sig
mails Of distress burned. With the
notification Of the life saving station
the life savers put OFF through the win
ter seas. During two days the crew
and the life saving men remained
upon the ship. In the meantime the
underwriters had learned Of the
wreck: and the Hutchinson being
abandoned by the owners. Captain
Charles NJ Davis, lake veteran Of
4 seventy, famous wrecker. was sent
to take charge. Wrecking outfits were
summoned from the 800" and work
ing party engaged. At once the work
Of jettisoning the cargo began. Six
inch centrifugal pumps poured water
into the holds filled with fiaxseed. I'M
}stil fourteen inch pumps could suck up
the valuable stuff and force it over
board. Fifty thousands bushels,
worth $4,000. were pumped into the
lake III thirty-two hours A wrecking
tug then started to pull the Hutchin-
son on. but SO violent d storm came
on that the immediate breaking up
Of the vessel seemed unavoidable
With this apparently inevitable, the
crew and the wreckers left her Be

with the subsistence of the tempest
the astonished wreckers found that
the waves. instead OF destroying the
Hutchinson, had lifted the boat Off The
rock and that she was riding in safe

All women Of good taste, no matter
whether they be heiresses or work to
support themselves, never adopt the
extreme OF any fashion. The long
front Of the bodice. 50 becoming to
stout women, would still be in favor II
it had not been overdone by women Of
poor taste. The lines Of the figure are
improved by the cutting Of the bodice
triie long and lifting the skirt band
a trifie In the back. The extreme style,
however, is in decidedly bad taste.

Z Leg o'Mutton and Full Coat Sleeves.
The new coat sleeves are I'll full at
the shoulders, but nevertheless offer
variety inasmuch as both the "leg O.
mutton sort, which are plain at the
wrists, and those that are gathered or
pleated into cuffs are equally correct.
The two models shown are admirable
in every way and will be found pecu-
litarly well adapted to remodeling.
The sleeve to the left is shown in
brown broadcloth stitched with corti-
cell silk and finished with piping Of
velvet. The one to the right is in bot

tailor style and finished with handsome
buttons
The full sleeve Is pleatei at both up

INDIA RUBBER.
Its Form of structure which Permits
II to he Elastic.

Modern physics teach US that the
molecules Of all bodies are in state Of
incessant motion; that the intimate
structure OF matter is, in fact repro
duction on an infinitely minute scale Of
the revolving suns ard planets.
In gases and liquids this motion is
NEST extensive in raIige. but in solids
the movements Of the molecules are
more restrained, and they merely os-
clIlatc or rotate about certain mean
position, the range Of motion being
strictly governed by the attractions
producing it.
II by the pail OF an outside force the
molecules are drawn out beyond the
limit of their mutual attractions the
body is broken, but within this limit Il
will recover itself when the pulfceases.

Der as reyolYing in circles When 1t is
