A peculiar experience and a marvel
Gus escape are described in James
Lumsden's book, The Skipper Parson."
A Newfoundland clergyman was cross
Ing frozen harbor when the ice broke
under his feet. He clung to the edge
OF the Ice, but being a very heavy man,
he could do nothing to extricate him
self from his perlous position. He must
soon have perished but for a circum-
stance Of a strange and unusual char
acter.
Joseph Kean, an invalid, lay on his
bed In one of the houses overlooking
the harbor. Although his bed was
placed near the window he was unable
to raise himself sufficiently to enjoy
the view, and had overcome this diff
Guilty by means Of looking glass,
which he always kept at his bedside.
BY the manipulation of the glass he
could see all parts Of the harbor. In
this daily lookout he found relief from
the monotony of his long illness. Thus
employed, he saw Mr. Bullen In his
extremely dangerous position.
He took up his glass at the very mo-
melt Of the occurrence. He instantly
sounded an excited alarm. The peril
Of their beloved minister was quickly
known throughout the entire place.
With great difficulty, by means Of
ropes and poles. Mr.. Bulien was res
cued.

Last year 1 suffered with a tremen-

worse and worse, until 1t spread over
the whole body, and only my face and

scratch, scratch, scratch, until bled.
At night when I went to bed things
got worse, and had at times to get
up and scratch my body all over, until

I suffered excruciating pains. They
told me that l was suffering from

lraLing Good Use OF cinders.


The street railway operating plant
Of Portland, Ore, which employs saw
mill refuse as fuel, has adopted cin-i
der-separatins plant with great sue,
cess. A powerful draft from steel
fan forces the furnace smoke through
a steel plate fiue into vertical steel
cylinder thirty-two feet In diameter.
The bottom is cone-shaped hopper
for receiving the cinders, while the
smoke, after losing Its velocity, slowly
emerges through an aperture at the
top. AS the gases lose velocity the
cinders, being heavier, drop into the
hopper, whence they are conveyed back
to the furnaces to be completely burned.
Besides abating the smoke nuisance,
the boiler economy Is Increased.

The Original Porous Plaster.

It's Allcock's. first introduced to the
people sixty years ago, and to-day un-
doubtedly has the largest sale of any ex-
ternal remedy--millions being sold annu-
ally throughout the whole civilized world.
There have been limitations, to be sure,
but never has there been one to even COM
pare with Allcock's-the worlds standard
external remedy.
For a weak back, cold on the chest or
any local pain, the result of taking cold
or over-strain, there's nothing we know of
to compare with this famous plaster.

African Manioc.

The native food of the Malunda
country, In southern Africa. comprises
manioc, and that alone. 1t Is plant
particularly adapted to wet, marshy
soil, says the author Of "In Remotest
Barotseland." 1t takes two years to
arrive at maturity, and while growing
requires very little attention.
The root when full-grown is about
the size, and has very much the ap-
pearance of q German sausage, al
though at times 1t grows much larger.
One shrub has several roots, and the
extraction of two or three In no way
impairs the growth of the remainder y
When newly dug 1t tastes like a
chestnut, and the digestion of the pro-
verbal ostrich can alone assimiiate 1t
raw; but when soaked In water for a
few days until partly decomposed,
dried on the roofs of the huts and
stamped, 1t forms a delightfully."- white
soft meal, far whittier and purer than
the best -four. Then 1t Is beaten inte
thick paste and eaten with little
favoring, composed of locust or a
caterpillar which the natives seek IN
decayed trees.
Another way Of eating this native
luxury Is by baking the roots, after
soaking them, and eating 1t as you
would banana. Taken as whole, It
forms the best ail-the-year-round ma
tive food; but I should advise all In
tending consumers to abstain from any
other food for three or four days be-
fore giving II a prolonged trial.
