Temporary Relief From Business.


Rev DR.. Savage's New Year sugges
ton to men who are absorbed in theil
business or profession is worth noting
He advises such men to cultivate q
new interest. 1t is his observation that
the great trouble with most men is
that they get into ruts. They are mar
row in their interests. There are only
few things they care for, and if you
take those things away they do moi
know what to do with themselves. II
you will begin this new year to train
yourselves to become interested in
some new thing something outside Of
your business, by and by when you
get ready to retire, you will be able
to do so cheerfully. Boston Herald.

related that once the Peruvian mon

on Lieut.. Rodriguez, who was killed;
then on Lieut. Palacious, who was
disabled, and finally Lieut.. Gareyon,
with the ship on fire, three feet of
water in the hold, and with loss Of
half his officers and crew, was forced
to strike his flag. On July %, 1879,
the Huascar was in action against
the Chilean ship Abtao. Torpedoes at
that time were not much understood,
and one, being fired from the Huascar,
through faulty mechanism returned
back straight upon the ship. Seeing
this, and knowing that if the ship
was struck she must sink, Lieut.

were east bound, and had left the

tracks the two trains suddenly came
together. The local was switched from
the third track to the fourth, and ir
an instant the engine of the express
had crashed into the day coach follow

apparatus from several stations were
summoned and many persons were res
cued by means of ladders placed

Chinese Ruler.

The Empress Dowager Of China was
sold into slavery at the age Of eleven,
to save her family from starvation.
Afterwards she was presented to the
late Emperor, and, upon his wife's
death, became Empress. Her feet were
never bound, and she was taught to
read after persistent pleading. The
sterling qualities of this wonderful
woman, like those of Pillsbury's vitos,
have overcome every obstacle. And
she holds herself at the head of China,
as does vitos at the head of breakfast
foods.
