TWENTY MEN DROWNED.
Steamer PecOnic Goes Down In u
Gale OF the Florida Coast.

FERNANDINA, Fla, Aug. 90
Twenty men, constituting all but two
OF the officers and crew of the Ameri
can steamship pcconic, bound from
Philadelphia to New Orleans with coal
were drowned by the sinking of that
vessel off the coast of Florida. The dis
aster was the result of Il fierce gale
which ragged along the coast during the
night and early morning.
An immense wave struck the vessel
with terrific force. The impact, coming
just as the vessel was making a turn
caused Il shift of the cargo, and the
vessel leaned over and sank immedi
ately. The accident occurred so quick,
ly that only two of those aboard her
an Italian and n Spaniard, were able tt
a W. themselves.
They succeeded in getting into Il life
boat, reached Amelia beach about noon
and on landing told the story of the
disaster. These mon could speak nc
word Of English. They said they were
the only survivors of the crew Of the
peconic, commanded by Captain Jones
About midnight OF Monday, 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 We're approaching
the coast too nearly.
In the endeavor to turn the ship was
struck by Il heavy sea, the cargo shift
ed, and she began sinking rapidly. Ii
less than ter minutes after the alarm
was sounded she had gone down to the
bottom, and no trace of her was left
upon the waters.

JAPAN'S NEW
TERMS READY.
. Proposal at TOday's Confer
enCe will be Considered by
the Russians.
THE LAST OBSTACLE

PORTSMOUTH, n. H., Aug. 29.-I
has been authoritatiyely stated tina.
Baron komura will offer a new pro
posal at today's meeting. The PROPOSE
ton, which will be partly in the nature
of a concession is such, it is said, tina
the Russians cannot refuse to make
peace.
The demand for indemnity will be
eliminated as such, but payment foi
the mikado's way expenses will be ex-
acted.
The foregoing statement was made
by one Of Baron Komura's chief adj
visers. In making the statement, how
ever, the envoy denied Il story to the
effect that Japan would offer to sell the
northern half of Sakhalin and leave the
price to an arbitration committee.
THAT matter" said he, lis an old
one, which has been disposed of in con
ference. Japan has offered to sell Sa-
klalin for $500, 000,000. and the offer
has been refused. While it is true that
Sakhalin will figure in the new offer, it
- 49, II w AitNb III uhCNAAOlA VI ilt =
land is the main one.
Japan has all along understood Rus
sia's aversion to the payment of in.
demnity, and her ENJOYS in their desire
for peace are eXerting every effort to
do away with this obstacle to success
full negotiations. Baron Komura is try
ing TO find some way to gain remune-
ration and at the same time to strike
from consideration an indemnity as
such.
Japan feels that she has gained
abundant honor in her various Veto
rieS, and she does not desire to humili-
ate Russia further. She does feel, how
ever. that she should be remunerated
by her vanquished foe. and she will not
sign Il treaty unless she is paid for her
losses. There should be some way,
however, by which Russia could be
made to pay for Japan's expenses
without satisfying a demand for an in
demnity as such. 1t is in the hope that
such a consummation is possible that
Baron komura will tender a new offer
today. 1t will be remembered that ia
pan did not ask for an indemnity under
mat name even in her original demand.
"She spoke of reimbursement it is
true, and she is still speaking of it.
she will endeayor to give Russia the
opportunity of satisfying her demands
without making it appear that the ear
paid n cent of tribute or indemnity
Several days ago President Roose-
welt, 1t is reported, was authorized, on
Dehalf of Japan, to waive all claim for
indemnity or reimbursement for the
cost OF the war and to cede back TO
Russia the northern half of SakhaIin
Island, leaving the Redemption price
of the same to the arbitration of n
mixed commission.
This statement was transmitted TO
the Russian emperor through the Amer
lean ambassador at st. Petersburg and
subsequently announced that the cars
reply was partially responsive" There
is reason to believe that this PROPOSE
ton on behalf of Japan was not clear
ly understood at st. Petersburg, but
was supposed to be a revival of the
effort of Japan to obtain an indemni-
ty under the guise of purchase money
Tor the fraction Of Sakhalin.

New EnoIand Foo Affects Eyes.

Many of the officers of steamships
returning to this port are afflicted
with new eye disease which, for
want OF better name, some of them
call the fog eye" 1t is an inflam-
nation caused by peering into the
fog, and while painful it soon passes
away.
Never in the memory of the oldest
shippers running to this port has the
fog hung so persistently over the wat
ers along the coast as it has this
season. One captain said that they
were compelled to chew fog every
trip his vessel made for Boston dur
ing the last six weeks, and he comes
to Boston usually about once a week
Captain Higgins and the officers Of
the United Fruit company's passeng
er and mail steamer Admiral Simpson,
which arrived at Long Wharf recent
ly after good run from Jamaican
ports, were among those whose eyes
were affected by the fog. Running
through fog and trying to distinguish
objects when 1t is almost impossible
to see a vessels length away is a
heavy strain on the eyes, and the fog
combined with the heat produce a
smarting sensation.-Boston Tran

THE ROADSIDE SPRING.
by NATHAN D. uRxER.

/ remember a spot the roadside nigh,
Beneath a spreading and noble oak,
Where little spring opened its lustrous
That biinked with so merry and wise a
look
That hardly a traveller bent to sip
The waves OF its gentle welcoming,
But breathed a prayer, as they touched his
Upon the roadside spring.
The dust.covered tramp there paused to
sit,
And the footsore peddler a-near would
take
The load from his back, and there pause a
bit,
His burning thirst in the shade to slake;
And the men in the fields were at noon its
guests
When they opened their lunchpacks un.
der the tree,
And there all merrily rang their iests,
As they quafGed of its waters free.
When l CHANGED to be gathering berries
near,
The limpd life OF it's honest cheer
With grateful heart and thirsty lip;
Or, whenever rode with my father nigh,
A little tin cup we would always bring,
And stop to brim it with sparkles high
From the beautiful roadside spring.
Its glance had a strange and accusing look
To the parch-lpped drunkard that some
time came,
And its voice, as from under the earth it
broke,
Must have touched his heart, with its
muttered blame,
just as it treasured and smiled,
With bubbling chuckle and laughing
wink,
The poor dumb brute, or the winsome
child,
That knelt at its flashing brink.
All! no waters have ever seemed half so
sweet
Though I've wandered wide over land
and sea,
As the spring that drew up its shining feet
From the dust of the road by the old
oak tree.
And | would that my spirit again could
fold
In the restless reach of it's weary wing
The sweetness and JOY that knew of old
BY the innocent roadside spring.

Tho aorernor,s CALAMITY.

Aleck Smith, next door neighbor Of
the Governor at Pennington, and one
of. his greatest admirers, tips 1t off:
"It is true that Governor Warner is
hard-headed man and intensely prnc-
teal, but let me tell you that there is
in him that rich vein of chivalry which
we all admire. Let me illustrate.
zone night he was at swell social
function, and one of the diversions of
the entertainment was to have each
person tell in what character he or she
would like to return If permitted to
come back over the big divide. A num-
Der of ambitious choices had been made
when it came to the Governors turn.
MANY a man in the political swim
would have aspired to come back as
United States Senator, President, or a
man at the head Of the diplomatic SER
vice. This is what the Governor said:
"'If the miracle of giving me a Sec
ond show on earth were wrought, moth
ing else would please me so much as to
be Mrs. Warmers second husband
81 guess that 1t will keep your pol
ished courtlers guessing to beat that"

A Pet Gael.

Up the Shat-el-Arab River, lying off
Bussorah, whence Sindbad the Sailor
set forth on his famous journeys, we
had given us, as great table delicacy,
a young gael. The little fellow was
not more than two feet in height; his
eyes were large and brown and lus-
trous; his little horns and hoofs were
as black and shining as ebony; his
fawn-colored skin was like silk; his
movements were the embodiment of
grace. No one had the heart to con-
template killing such beautiful crea-
ture; so when some men came aft to
beg that they might have him to care
for he was at once given TO them.
"Sindbad" was name not quite
suited to him, but the sailors chose it
from associations with the place. He
was beloved by every one.-St. Mich

The Sin Of MoodInen..

The presence Of one who is victim
20 moods seems a calamity in a home
The children feel like culprits; their
perfectly innocent mirth is repressed;
they speak under breath. Converse
ton langulshes and laughter is eNtin-
guished.
Around the moody person, whether
mother, father or sister, there seems
to hang a thin but evident veil OF
gloom, which no sallies Of wit or soft
persuasions of affection can penetrate.
One by one the family seek to escape
from the influence so distressing.
Moodiness carried to its last eX-
treme is insanity, of which it Is often
premonitory symptom. AS a rule 1t
has its root in some physical derange-
ment the spleen, or the liver, or the
stomach is responsible for II.
When the digestive organs are
working tremendously with the rest
Of the body and the physical func-
tons are in order, people are seldom
moody. Good temper and good spirits
depend largely on good health.
Sometimes the moody person is
burdened financially. The remedy
here is to get rid of the needless load,
Live as common sense and honesty
dictate within the wise limits of the
daily earnings. II the balance is on
the right side the result, according to
Mr.. MicawbeT, is bliss.
Moodiness has often neither the
apology of a good reason to offer nor
the excuse of a bad reason to offer
1t is merely a synonym of selfshness
desc ing the condemnation OF con
sciente. To be driven by ones moods
is fair neither to ones self nor to

MiAdo1n,a Yhiapern.

The man who is inclined to kick has
no difficulty in finding job.
A woman's love never is fully salts
fed until there is evidence Of some
thing like fierce jealousy.
Some men make a great fuss over the
discovery Of something they should
have known long before.
The woman who is without a griev-
ance is disposed to regard herself as
neglected
Even after n man has reason to be
satisfied he delights to search for some
thing over which he can worry.
A woman thinks she must say 1t is
hard to give up daughter as soon as
her engagement is announced.
When a man thinks he is smart
enough to outwlt others he becomes a
fit subject for schemers.
Every woman likes to believe that
money has not part in the choice Of a
husband.
The discontinued bachelor thinks he
would be worse off still to take a wife.
A woman never wants to be under

The Canadian banks are to be nj
lowed a commission of three-eightLs
per cent. for collecting American silver
and turning 1t over to the Government
for export. This is not sufficient to
tempt them into the business of Inn

Making Good Honey.

The modern apiGrlst must of neces-
sity use foundation If he wishes
straight combs that can be emptied by
extracting, or choice, fancy section
honey comb honey, and nothing else
will sell in the markets to-day.
The broken, dark honey of our grand
fathers days cannot be sold at any
price Sugar syrup could be fed to the
bees to put in boxes, but it would still
be sugar syrup and taste like it, and
not like honey, and so much of it would
be used by the bees Tor increased brood
rearing that it would not be profit
able even if it were honest.
Extracted honey can be best raised
by the farmer and comb by the spe-
calist, since it requires more skill
and experience to produce the latter,
and when raising it the bees usually
swarm in the farmers busiest season,
the haying time, and if not immediate
ly hived go to the woods and the profits
are gone from that colony for the sea-
son, for it is the first swarm that u.s.
ually gathers most of the honey.
Bees dislike very much to work in
the small section boxes and sometimes
Sulk and refuse to do so until the best
Of tin honey flow ia over. md
If more than one swarm is allowed to
issue while working for comb honey,
very little honey is obtained from any
of them. With extracted honey it Is
very different. If plenty Of empty
combs are given to a colony in the be-
ginning of the season they seldom
swarm, and with such large working
force, a much larger amount can be
obtained. In the fall, when the press
of farm work is over, the combs can
be removed from the hive and placed
in the honey extractor and the honey
thrown from them by centrifugal force,
very much as cream Is separated, and
the frames Of comb can then he stored
away until another season. We have
combs that have been in use for twenty
years as good as ever for that purpose.
Never destroy good frame Of worker
comb, for they are good property for
the beekeeper to have. Store them in
a cold, dry cellar and the wax-moth
will not trouble them. They should be
wired, however, or they break from the
frames while extracting. Extracted
honey sometimes does not sell quite as
readily as comb, and why2 1t is the
pure honey without the indlgestible
wax. Physicians tell us that wax is
no more digestible in the human stom-
ach than leather or India rubber, and
believe was no more intended by our
Creator to be eaten than the skins of
fruits or the shells of nuts.
Pure extracted honey will always
granulate or candy when exposed to
continued cold, and this is the only
positive proof of its perfect purity. 1t
should be sold in that form, and then
the public could be sure of what they
were buying. But as long as there is
so much distrust of granulated honey
it will have to be heated and sealed
like canned fruit to keep it liquid.
Most honey producers put it up that
way at the present time. To sum up,
if you wish pure article of honey, buy
it in the graduated state or of some
beekeeper who has reputation to sus-
tain.-Mrs. Fl. S. Stockman. in the
Massachusetts Ploughman.
