MANY LIVES LOST
In Founder ing Steamer Near TOAST of
Nova Scotia.
binding Snow Storm, Which Ragged
For Twen n'y-four Hours was
Cause of Wreck.

A dispatch from Halifax, N. S.,
says that during raging gale and
binding snow storm, which swept
the Nova Scotia coast for about
twenty-four hours, the ocean steamer
Damara, of the iFurness line, ran on
the rocks at Musquodoboit. thirty
miles east of Halifax, early Tuesday,
and is believed to have fCundered with
the loss of many lives.
The first officer of the ship, with
eighteen Of the crew, escaped In one
OF the life boats and landed at Pleas.
ant Point, after terrific struggle
with wind and sea.
Captain Gerst, master OF the Da-
mara, four passengers and the rest OF
the steamers crew left the vessel in
another life boat. They have not
been heard Of since, and it Is feared
that they have perished. The ocou.
PANTS Of the boat which reached shore
were utterly exhausted aud many of
/ them we're badly frost bitten. They
had narrowing experience. battling
In the darkness for hours In the open
boat against tempestuous seas on q
treacherous coast, with the thermeter
ten degrees below zero and an Arctic
blizzard.
They landed on shore some time
during the day and reached the tele.
graph Office at Musquodobo't harbor
In the evening, whence they wired the
first news Of the disaster to the agents
Of the Furness line to Halifax to
which point the Damara was bound.
The survivors say that the steamer
struck about 2 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing when the blizzard was 30 thick
that 1T was impossible to see ships
length ahead on what proved to be
Musquodoboit ledge, five miles from
the mainland.
An immense hole, through which
the sea poured In torrents, was
smashed In the bow Of the steamer.
The shock Of the impact awakened
every one On board, and huge break.
ers swept the vessel fore and aft.
Life boats Immediately were ordered
over the side, and all hands left the
ship.
1t Is believed that the steamer must
have foundered quickly and small
hope Is entertained by. the survivors
OF the wreck that the captain aud
other occupants OF the missing lie
boat could have successfully withstocd
the extreme rigor OF the weather pre-.
Vailing on this coast for many hours
which have passed.
The wind Tuesday night was of
shore and II the missing boat has
not already swamped it has been
driven seward many miles aud Is
now probably adrlft on the Atlantic
In the worst weather this season.
The chief officer OF the Damara re-
ported that the steamer struck some
object about five miles off shore early
Tuesday and at once sprang a leak
and began to setsle. A binding snow
storm was raging at the time. When
the life boat drew away the steamer
was deep In the water. Captain Gerlt
and the Others who were in the seo
ond boat stood by the steamer and
nothing has been heard of them since.
The Damara left ST. John, N. f.
last Saturday with 900 tons OF cargo.
The weather was stormy along the
coast and heavy sea was running all
Tuesday. Tugs left Wednesday night
to search for the missing life boat.

Seasonable Clothing.

More clothing is, of course, neces-
sary in winter than in summer, out
the difference in the amount OF CLOTH
ing required is less than the diner
ence in temperature. We are all con-
scious that we suffer more from tenn
perature of forty in the summer tnan
from a much lower temperature IN inc
winter. This is due to the fact that
the system undergoes change WIN
the season, by which it adapts Itself
to the new conditions. This change
produces what is termed winter
constitution" for winter, and tsum'
mer constitution" for summer.
The winter constitution Is well
! adapted to resist cold; while the sum-
mer constitution is prepared to resist
heat. Consequently, the reverse OF
the conditions for which the BODY Is
prepared is severely felt.
On this account, we need more
clothing in summer than in winter, at
the same temperature. The custom
Of putting off and resuming winter
or summer clothes at certain dates Is,
a pernicious one.
In cold weather the underclothlng
should reach to wrists and ankles.
The feet should be protected WIN
thick, warm shoes with tops hlgh
enough to provide extra protection
for the ankles, which are easily
chilled, having less tissue than other
parts of the legs.
In winter several suits OF under
garments afford more warmth than
the same weight or thickness IN a
single garment; as the warmth OF a
garment is due, not SO much to lts
thickness, as to the amount OF all
which is entangled in the meshes OF
between it's layers. An extra SUIT OF
flannel affords almost as mucb
warmth as an extra coat or cloak, and
is both cheaper and less cumbersome
A change from warm to cold weather
or the reverse, at any season OF the
year, should always be met by cor
responding change in clothing. I'd:
seryance of this rule will amply repay
the slight trouble involved, In the say
ing of sickness and consequent ex
pense and lots of time.

Mind Power.

The following story Of Benvenuto
Cellini is told in Success" by }.
Lincoln Brooks, who declares the ex
perience to be triumph OF mind
over the physical condition:
When about to cast his famous
statue of Perseus, now in Loggia del
Lanzi, at Florence, Cellini was taken
with a sudden fever. In the midst OF
his suffering, one of his workmen
rushed into his sick chamber and ex
claimed, 20 Benvenuto, your statue IL
spoiled, and there is no hope whatever
of saving it,"
Cellini said that when he heard this
he gave a howl and leaped from his
bed. Dressing hastily, he rushed tc
his furnace, and found the metal
"caked." He ordered dry oak wood
and fred the furnace fiercely, working
in the rain that was falling, stirred
the channels, and saved his metal.
He continues the story thus: After
an was over, I turned to a plate Of
salad on a bench there, and ate with
a hearty appetite and drank, together
with the whole crew. Afterward | re
tired to my bed, healthy and happy
for it was two hours before morning
and slept as sweetly as If / had never
felt touch of illness"
His overpowering desire OF savine
his statue not only drove the idea o.
illness from his mind, but also drove
away the physical condition, and lei
him we'll.
