his frugal and affectionate wife. A

assisted me cheerfully in my business,
and in stitching pamphlets, tending
shop, purchasing old rags for the pa

time was bread and milk mo ea) and
I ate it out of a two penny earthen
porringer with pewter spoon. But
mark how luxury will enter families,
and make progress in spite of princi-
pie. Being called one NOR ming to
breakfast, / found it in china bow
with a spoon of silver. They had beer
bought for me without my kno wledgt
by my wife and had cost her the enor
NOUS sum of three and twenty shill

cuse or apology to make but hat she
thought her husband deserved silver

his neighbors. This was the first APP,

house, which afterwards, in the course

The most astonishing of wreck romances
Is without doubt that of the Peninsular and
Oriental steamer Australia. Just two years
ago this splendid Ship which cost over
100000 to build, went ashore at the mouth
of Port Philip bay, near Melbourne. They
tried hard to get her OF. but all In vain

knocked down to q Melbourne draper-Mr

also purchased the cargo left aboard for

He lost no time In getting divers to work.

at auction for old vessels seem very
small; yet, as rule, they do not repre-,

fetched considerably less than her value
as frewood. When she was broken up,
her timbers, which were perfectly sound,
more than paid her purchase money as
well as the cost Of breaking, and her buy
ers netted nearly 100 tons of copper bolts,
and also about the same amount of iron.
There were also fittings, ropes, sheathing,

Methods of shipbuilding are Improving
SO rapidly that an old steamer cannot COM
pete successfully with new one. Conse-
auently every year an icreasing number Of
QUITO date steamers come under the auc-
tiopeer's hammer AS rule they are sold
simply for breaking up. for 1t rarely pays
to re-engine them, even though their huils
are perfectly sound. Norwegians may pur-
chase a few Of the best for coastwise trade
but usually the poor old craft fetch just
what they are worth as scrap metal.
The professional purchaser of old steam
ers has to be very smart. 1t Is not difficult
to estimate what a steamer Is worth as old
ircn, but the value comes In the brass
and copper. Both these metals are valuable
copper. for instance. fetching just now
about ESQ a ton-and the shipbreaker must
be able to gauge with considerable exacti-
tude the weight Of the copper and brass
fittings of the vessel to be sold.
The usual price paid for an old tramp
steamer Is Ell ton. An old liner will
fetch more, and some craft run as high
