cape-Cargo Shifts When Huge
Wave Strikes the Vessel and Il
Turns over and Slowly Goes Down.

FERNANDINA, Fla.-Twenty men,
constituting all but two of the officers
and crew of the American steamship
Peconic, Captain James, Philadelphia
to New Orleans with coal, were drown
ed by the sinking of that vessel of
the coast of Florida Monday. The
disaster was the result of a fierce gale
which ragged along the coast during
the night and early morning. Lash
ed by the storm an immense wave
struck the vessel with terrific force
about 1850 o'clock this morning. The
impact, coming just as the vessel was
making a turn, caused a shift of the
cargo and the vessel leaned over and
sank Immediately. The accident oc.
Cured so quickly that only two OF
those aboard, an Italian and Span.
lard, were able to save. themselves.
They succeeded in getting into life
boat, reached Amelia Beach about
noon and on landing told the story
of the disaster.
About midnight of Sunday, accord
ing to their story, during the heaviest
part of the storm, which had ragged
all day, the officer of the deck gave
the order to put further out to sea
fearing they were approaching the
coast too nearly. In the endeavor to
turn the ship was struck with heavy
sea, the cargo shifted and it began
sinking rapidly. In less than ten min
utes after the alarm was sounded II
had gone to the bottom. One of the
two survivors was at the wheel at the
time the order was given, the other
was upon watch. AS soon as the ship
began to careen these two men rushed
for one of the small boats, which they
jumped into as the vessel began to GO
down. With their knives they severed
the ropes as the waters level was
reached and the small boat was thrown
far out on the waves They further
more say that they discovered through
the blackness and storm the figures
of part of the awakened crew, some OF
whom managed to crowd into another
of the ships boats. This was, how
ever, caught in the trough of the sea,
thrown violently against the ventilat'
ors and then wedged fast. Their pitt
full cries for help could be heard as
the ship went down in the sea, which
swallowed it up.
Alone through the balance of the
night, in the awful wash of waters
with the storm raging and threatening
each moment to swamp their small
boat, these two men were gradually
borne ashore toward Amelia island
landing just at IL a. m. Monday.

carry in his saddIebags when he at

peals to it in his cases. This precious
book was always carefully done up in
coarse brown paper, and the unwrap-

was then only twenty-one years old.
Colonel Avery during the trial which
preceded the duel between himself and
Jackson procured a piece of bacon the
size of the book, and while Jackson
was addressing the court he slipped out
the volume from its wrapping and sub
stituted the bit of pork. At length
jackson had occasion to appeal to Lord
Bacon. While still talking he raised
the bearskin flap of his saddlebags,
drew out the brown paper package,
carefully united the string, unfolded
the paper with decorous gravity and
then, without looking at what he held

What wonder that the fiery young
lawyer blazed with anger, while the
courtroom rang with laughter at his
expense and that he afterward chal-

EUGENIE's ESCAPE.
How the Empress Got Out OF Fran,

How the Empress Got Out Of France
After Sedan.
AS soon as the hot headed citizens Of
Paris learned in September, 1870, that
their emperor, Napoleon III, had sur
rendered to the Prussians at Sedan
these Parisians rose IN a riotous mob
and made posthaste for the Tuileries.
They were armed and after royal blood
and plumber. The empress had to fee
for her life. Assisted by the Austrian
and italian ministers, she made hur-
ried fight from the palace. but found
the mob ahead of her in the garden;
back again and then out by a secret
way into a side street, where they en-
tered carriage. a street gamin rec
ognized the empress here, but the
shouting Of. the mob was SO great that
the boys cry Of warning was not
needed.
Once the carriage was stopped by a
mob, but the party aIighted and man
aged to escape Finding themselves
near the residence Of DR.. Evans, the
American dentist, they took refuge
there, and the doctor took upon him
self the responsibility Of Empress Eu-
genie's safety. The empress put on a
dress belonging to Mrs. Evans and,
with Nine. Breton, her friend, was
driven by DR.. Evans to he suburbs.
DR.. Evans explained that tie women
were a patient and her attendant
whom he was taking to sanitarium.
Two days later the fugitives reached a

EGGS AS FOOD.
Why They Are Valuable as a Diet
For fhe sick

Why They Are Valuable as a Diet
For the Sick.
Eggs without doubt stand next to
milk in available food material for the
sick. as they are easily digested and abb
sorbed if raw or properly prepared.
Physiological chemists tell us that 81
per cent of the albumen and 94 per
cent of the fat are absorbed into the
blood stream. These same chemists
tell US that eggs are complete food
for all young mammals, as they con
tain in correct proportion the tissue
building material, In form Of albumen
(white) and mineral matter, In the
form of phosphorus. lime, potassium,
iron and sulphur; the heat and energy
material in the form of oil (fat) in the
yolk, and large amount of pure wa
fer.
Owing to the lack of starch and
sugar an egg cannot be called COM
plete food for the adult; hence bread,
rice or some other starchy food must
be served with eggs. To render the
food complete the sick must be fed
as children are that is, with foods that
are easily and quickly digested and abb
sorbed, for the digestive organs are al
ways weak Eggs therefore are among
the most valuable of foods for this pur-
pose.

5 BOTTLE SHAKERS.


"A Umiane Set Of Expert wage EnFme
era In France.
The bottle shakers Of France form a
somewhat unique set Of expert wage
earners.
All the larger firms of champagne
makers at Reims use only the juice
from the first pressing Of the grape for
champagne.
The juice Is taken In barrels to the
cellars and poured into large watts. The
wine remains In these vats from Oc-
tober until January, when the mixing
takes place. This mixture is called
the cuvee, and it stands again until
April Or June, when the great opera
tion Of filing the bottles takes place.
First, the bottles are thoroughly test
ed and well cleaned. Then the long
pipes are extended to the bottles from
the mighty vats that hold the cuyee,
and as the bottles are filed, corked and
wired they are lowered in baskets to
the caves below, where they are stack
ed.
These bottles are now left from one
to two years. when they are put in
small racks, necI1s downward, and, for
two or three months each bottle is
given daily a gentle little shake by an
experienced workman In this way the
sediment Is brought gradually to the
cork and the wine becomes perfectly
clear.
One man can shake about 10000 bot
ties in day. Upon the expertness OF
the shakers depends in large measure
the quality Of the wine Philadelphia

Teeth apd Temperament.

On the morning Of Balaklava l was

one, the outside man being called Her
bert. We had not gone far before Her
bert was killed by cannon ball. A

fell over near me. Men and horses now

If it was a proud moment for us the
feeling was short lived We fully ex-
pected to be supported, but when the
smoke cleared we discovered that what
we took for British troops were in re-
ality Russian cavalry. They came for
us in a perfect cloud, and we faced
about and rushed right into them.

we had cut right through them. This

DO Not Attempt to Climb It Until YO1

Never climb hill until you get to it,
advises writer in Medical Talk For
the Home. We remember as children
that in riding through the country we
had a dread Of high hills. How often
we saw far ahead of us OH the road a
formidable looking hill. How high and
rough and steep it looked, and how we
feared it2 How hard it would be for
the horse to carry us up such a hill2
We were sure he would slip and fall
and maybe upset the carriage, and so,
with the greatest. apprehension, we
would approach the dreadful hill But
how surprised we were rs we came
nearer to find the hill receding. growing
fiatter and really not hill at all when
we reached the point that. seemed so
high and craggy and dangerous2
So it is with many of life's perplexi-
ties. How darby they loom up before
usl What black pail they spread
around us? But when we get close up
to them they have vanished entirely.
We spoil so much Of life in fear and
foreboding We let slip the beautiful
moments that are ours and spoil them
by dreading the moments of the fu-
ture with which we have nothing to do.
We ride over the nice, level country,
forgetting its beauty, unmindful of its
delight, dreading the hill that never
