A NARROW ESCAPE.

The arrest of foreigner suspected
of being a spy during the naval man.
euvres of Milford Haven, England.
reminds a correspondent Of Smiths
Weekly of the narrow escape Of a
friend of his. retired officer of the
German Army. who made himself use
full to his Government by gathering in
formation in and around Paris. He
was walking in the neighborhood Of
fortifications. making mental notes Of
what he saw. when suddenly three po-
licemen jumped out upon him and
asked him what he was doing there.
He had a plausible answer ready.
but their suspicious We're aroused by
and they insisted on his accompanying
them to the police station. Then the
situation became serious, for he was
carrying three compromising letters in
his pocket.
On their arrival at the station they
found the inspector was out. and that
they must wait for his return. The
spy said he supposed he might smoke.

promising letters from his pocket, slow

the fire in the most careless way i'm
aginable. gave light to each of the
policemen, lighted his own cigar and
flung the rest of the letter into the fire.
There were still two letters to be got
rid of, and the inspector was expected
every instant. II he were caught 1t
meant at least FIVE years penal servi-
tude. He had never known such an
anxious moment.
He decided it would be quicker to
let his cigar go out rather than smoke
it through and light another. 1t
seemed as il the cigar would not go
out. and every instant he thought he
heard footsteps outside.
At last he got rid of the second let
ter without exciting suspicion. They
he puffed away at his cigar with all
possible speed. and had just lighted
another when the inspector came in.
The spy was searched. and the
search revealing nothing that compro-
missed him. he was released with apol
Ogies. But had the inspector arrived
a quarter of a minute sooner the Ger
man would have been undone.

CARE OF BLANKETS.

No part of housekeeping should be

which has to do with beds and bed.
ding. Everything about n bed should
be aired thoroughly every day; and
everything should be kept up to the
top notch of cleanliness.
Mattresses should be busted daily,
for dust seems to go to them and cling
to them as II by some curious law Of
attraction. They should he thorough

inside and out, that is-at least. once tn
three years: oftener. If possible. Every
good housekeeper cleans bed, springs
and mattresses as regularly as any
other part of her house, but compare

to have their mattresses opened and
cleaned periodically.
Yet dust and dirt sift through tick.

Men who manipulate those cleaning

GIRL SAVES A Boys LIFE.

Robert Taylor Fox. the fourteen
year-old son of Charles 7. Fox, of
Wayne, Pa, tried to board moving
train at the Pennsylvania Railroad
station at Haverford. AS Nora Burke,
a housemaid, walked across the plat
form she saw young Fox hanging help
lessly to the handrail of one of the
cars. He was being dragged along
the platform by the train. Ahead, in
his path, lay the baggage stand, pro-
jecting above the level of the platform.
Even IL he had not fallen down be-
tween the platform and the train, the
boy would probably have been crushed
to death between. the train and this
projection. Realizing his predicament
young Fox let go the handrail and tried
to fling himself out on the platform,
but the momentum of the train rolled
him over toward the edge. Nora seized
the boy as one leg was hanging over
the platform and dragged him to
safety.

TWO GHOSTS.

Nora Teck was afraid of ghosts. Pa
rents argued, friends jested; yet she
would wake at midnight, to crouch,
trembling, beneath the bedclothes at
bit of drapery stirred by the wind.
1t was at the close of sultry Sabbath
that Nora attended alone st. Stephens
vesper service. Whether the rector's
voice was more melodious than usual,
or whether the heavy, perfumed air
drowsed her senses, it is certain that,
comfortably ensconced in the dusky
pew corner, she leaned her head upon
her hand and slept.
WOrshipers went their way, the sex
ton hurriedly completed his task, and
the girl, in her filmy white gown, slum-
bered unnoticed.
Late that evening the soprano of st.
Stephens CHANGED to want piece of
music which she had left in the church,
across the way from her home, and her
young friends challenged her to fetch
it unattended. Accordingly, possess
ing herself Of key and a candle, she
entered the gloomy building Just as
the tower clock struck eleven.
The small candle threw weird shad-
ows about her white-clad figure as she
crossed the vestry and entered the
choir. Then sudden gust slammed
the door by which she had come and
put out the light. She was not left in
total darkness, for the moonshine, H.
Illuminating the stained-glass windows,
enabled her to keep her bearings.
In passing the altar, slight rustic
drew her eyes to the left, and there.
far down the nave, she saw dimly the
figure of a woman-a woman in white!
The soprano was no believer in appari-
tons, but for an instant her heart
quailed before the uncanny sight. The
figure did not stir, but seemingly stood
gazing back at her. Then her we'll
balanced mind asserted its power, and
just as she concluded it was somebody
who had been locked in the church,
the white figure, without sound,
dropped to the floor.
When Nora came to herself in the
arms Of the supposed ghost, with
plenty of lights and the people from
across the street to bear them COM
pany, explanations were made-explan-
ations that ended in jest and laughter.

such n fright might have had serious
results; but Nora felt only good effects
from the gruesome experience. Her

with her swoon: she had been a ghost

membrance.

Itttui s'N tAptuAt-oAi
TO the south polar regions. The three
men who shared the hardships of that
dreadful antarctic winter were Dr. J..
Gunnar Anderson and two of the
ships men who left the steamer in an
endeavor to reach by sledge Doctor
Nordenskiold's camp, one hundred and
fifty miles to the southwest. Sledging
proved to be exceedingly difficult, and
by the time the little party reached
land their strength and resources were
nearly exhausted.
The twilight was lengthening, the
long night would soon fall, and they
knew that If they tried to make the
march Of one hundred miles southward
they would certainly perish. There
was nothing to do but to go into camp
and live out the winter somehow or
other. They had about three weeks
supply of food, three sleeping-bags, a
piece Of tarpaulin anc a tent, a few
knives and cooking utensils, one needle,
and nothing to wear but summer cloth
1ng.
They pat up their tent and encircled
1t with stone wall. Over the whole
they spread their tarpaulin. When
the snow came 1t covered all save the
entrance. They were thus able through
out the winter to keep an average tenn
perature of only a little below the
freezing point.
Within few miles there were plenty
of penguins waiting to be shot, and by
the time the winter night had fairly
fallen they had killed and frozen about
four hundred Of these birds.
Penguins are not good eating, but
they We're the stan Of life to those
three men that winter, eked out by n
mouthful or two of bread each day, a
bite now and then of preserved meat,
and the flesh of seals occasionally
killed for oil. Every one has heard of
the revulsion of stomach and nerves
from which men suffer when they try
to eat quail day for thirty days
1t can be imagined, then, that nothing
but the fear of death would drive them
to eat the coarse and greasy penguin
every day for seven months. The ac-
cOmplishment Of the feat shows what
men can do when necessity drives.
But the hardest part of their lot,
after all, was the protracted confine-
ment during the long, stormy winter.
Seal blubber was too scarce to be used
excepting when the meals were to be
cooked, and so, for days at time, the
three men curled up in their sleeping
bags in pitchy darkness with nothing
to do but listen to the bowling of the
polar storm. For seven long months
they led such life.
When the spring came they found
their way to the camp. They were SO
changed that Doctor Nordenskiold did
not recognize them until they told their
names. They We're black as coal from
head to foot, with long black hair
hanging down over their shoulders.
The dogs took fright at the forbidden
black creatures, and bolted in every
direction.
A full description of their expert
ences will be of service to future ex-
plorers in distress during the survey
of the desolate and stormy southern
land.

the inexperienced person, but like
everyth thing of its kind, it needs little
care 10 prevent the blouse shrinking.
First make some soap jelly and dis

 Toward the close of the sesion Mir. McCurdy made the statement that an insurance company was not an insti- tuition founded to make money for the policyholders, but was, or should be, a great philanthropic enterprise, founded to increase and to spread its benefits over the entire earth.
 There has been great mistake made" he said, about the real prov ince of life insurance companies in these latter years. People have been led to believe that the main purpose was to make money for the policy holders. In my view that is not the purpose of such companies. They are eleemosynary. When q man insures in company ha should take into consid- eratiou the fact that he has entered a great philanthropic concern that is in duty bound to spread itself, even though this growth prevents him from realizing as much as he expected"
