BattIed with the Storm for Twelve
 Hours.

New Haven, March 2O.-After a thrilling experience of twelve hours in the terrific snow and sleet storm of last night, Captain Kelly of the steam canal boat H. c. French, Rich ard Wickham, an engineer, and Will liam Kennedy, a deck hand. all of New London, were rescued in an ex- hausted condition in little shanty on the middle breakwater. in the outer harbor to-day. The steam canal boat was lashed to the barge Schlap- per and were bound from New Lon don to New. York. They were caught in the height of the snow storm yes terday afternoon late and driven broadside against the breakwater. only to be pounded to pieces several hours later. The men remained on the consort as long as possible and finally scrambled on to the snow GOV cred rocks of the breakwater and a few moments later the consort and its tow broke up and sank. The men were chilled to the bone and re- mained there for hours before the attention of the men on the tug Charles McWilliams was attracted. Late in the night the captain of the McWilliams heard the shouts of the men and made an attempt to rescue them. The sea was too high. how ever. and the attempt was given up.
 The three marooned sea followers made their way to small shanty on one end of the breakwater and at an early hour to-day the tug H. \. Baxter, which put into this harbor to weather the storm. went out to the breakwater and succeeded in landing Captain Kelly and his two companions. They were badly frost bitten and somewhat exhausted. but otherwise little the worse for their terrible experience.

The house was filled with fumes of gas. After the windows had been thrown open, physicians were summoned and efforts made to resus- citate the victims of the accident.

Lincoln and the Bird.

III the early pioneer days. when
Abraham Lincoln was young attor-
ney and rode the circuit" he was one
day travelling on horseback from one
town to another with party of friends
who were lawyers like himself. The
road which they travelled led across
prairies and through woods. AS they
passed by a grove where the birds
We're singing merrily, they noticed a
baby bird which had fallen from the
nest and lay fluttering by the roadside.
After they had gone short distance
Mr.. Lincoln stopped, turned, and said:
Wait for me moment; I will soon
rejoin you.'
AS his friends halted and watched
him, they saw Mr.. Lincoln return to
the place where the helpless bird lay
on the ground, and tenderly take it up
and set it on 4 limb near the nest.
When he rejoined his companions,
one of them laughingly asked: why
did you bother yourself and delay US
for such trifle as that?"
Abraham Lincoln's reply deserves to
be remembered. MY friends" said he,
Il can only say this, that feel better
for it. I could not have slept tonight
If had left that helpless little creature
to perish on the ground"

Resan was SO popular among the

The Enaineer,s Whistle.

There is not an engineer on this
road that 1 can't recognize by the
sound Of the whistle of his engine,
remarked locomotive fireman. Each
man has a distinctive blast which is
as plain as spoken language to his
fellow-employees, and is frequently
familiar to the members of his family
Often the home people of the engi-
neers are as skilled in detecting par
ticu,ar sounds as are the railroad men
themselves. 1t is frequent occur
renee to see an engineers wife, with
perhaps two or three little children by
her side, leaning out of window in
sight Of the railroad waiting in pleas
ing expectancy TO wave a greeting to
the man in the cab, having been made
acquainted with the fact of his ap-
proach by means only of the sound of
the whistle.
Nearly every engineer who is ac-
customed to handle any one locomotive
gives more or less special care to the
whistle. In many instances the men
personally own these sound making
devices, and keep them throughout
services covering several years and in
volving numerous transfers from one
engine to another. A man is disposed
to become attached to his whistle, re-
garding it as a sort of personal ad-
junct. He, blows it and blows it until
he comes to play on it, sounding the
varying range of his feelings in the ca
dences OF the blast. In this way the
whistle assumes the dignity of q crude
index to character and disposition.
Many of the differences among
whistles are obvious to people in gen.
eral. The chime whistle, for instance
is familiar to many. Uniting several
sounds. its musical blast is a favorite
among engineers. This type is spec
tally used for variety" says the Wash
ington Star.
