BALTIC FLOATS UNHURT
White Star Liner on Her Way
1fter Tug of Var 7cith Mud.

The big White Star liner Baltic which swung
aground by the tide at the junction of the Swash
and Gedney channels at o'clock Wednesday af-
ternoon. was foated yesterday afternoon 4:5S
o clock and proceeded undamaged her way to
Liverpool
The leviathan, wedged well into the mud made
desperate effort with her propellers and with
the assistance of fleet of tugboats to work out
into the channel at high water at o'clock yester-
naE morning. bat without success. After strainng
for three hours on hawsers and employing all the
tricks in the ken OF navlgators the tugboats gave
up the attempt to float her and waited until high
tide in the afternoon. With the first indication of
Hood tide six powerful tugboats made fast to the
big liner. and two hedges with twelve-nCh haw-
sers attached. thrown ont.
1t was thought that with high water she might
ne able with h,r powerful winches. TO pull herself
out OF the mud terrific pressure put the
hawsers. but the Baltic did not move. 1t seen
at once that she could never be moved by this
means, and the plan quickly abandoned.
The tugboats Edward ]. Berwnd and William E.
chapman each took a ten-inch hawser from the
Baltfcs bow and steamed ahead until the slack OF
the lines partly taken up.
The tugboat Edward Moran hitched on to the
Chapman tandem fashion and the Julia e. Moran
took similar position off the bow of the Berwind.
The Admiral Dewey and the BucCaneer each took
separate lines and S45 o'clock began the tugging
that eventually freed the steamer from her POSI-
tion.
Ing on the hawsers the Baltic's propelIers- raced
around at full speed kicking up a terrific

and an aCetylene gas buoy from their moorings.
The buoy boat came out quickly from Stapeton
and stood by In case the buoys dragged
For n while it seemed If the six tugs would
never be able to work the stranded steamer into
the channel, but they kept it until the Cretic,
also White Star liner. came down the channel
and attempted to pass
The channel at the junction Of the Swash and
GedneN Is exceedingly narrow, and. with the tug
boats in the way the Cretic could not get by. The
tugboats backed out Of the way. and had hardly
resumed their tugging the Baltic when the
Scandinavian American liner Oscar H. bound for
Christiansand, entered the channel The tugboat 8
were compelled TO pull in again to let her pass
The Baltic sent her propelIers whizzing again
when the Oscar II passed, and at ass began TO
move slowly into deep water.
The motion was hardly notiCea BILE at first. When
the cabin and steerage passengers realized that
they were getting off the mud they gave vent to
lusty cheering. The Baltc's officers were too busy

BY the time the Baltic gained fair momentum,
the Hamburg American liner Blucher was sighted
coming down the bay. Her captain that the
Baltic was working her way into the channel

stranded steamer in tow of the tugboats that re
leased her had crossed the bar and was we'll out

LOOKED FOR HIMSELF.

Councillor Tom Coward relates an extraordinary experience. He says that he returned home one evening after a particular busy day, and after his wife retired to rest he re- mained in the sitting room reading for some considerable time. He went upstairs with a lighted candle and asked: "Where is Tom" He declares he heard no answer and re- marked: It is time he returned" " He then retraced his steps down. stairs, but could not find himself !! He finally went to bed, and next morning his wife questioned him as to his strange conduct, and said he stood scratching his head in con- fusion in the bedroom. He could not account for his behavior and consulted medical man, who solved the puzzle by saying that one-half of his brain was dormant while the other half was active. Such a case was not unknown in the medical world. Mir. Coward is a teetotal- er.-London Express.

SCENT USED BY WOMEN.

Sometimes I get on the cars here," declared a Pittsburg woman who had just returned from Paris, "and the perfume nearly knocks me down. It Is marvellous how New York women-that is, those who ride in the cars-use perfume. The French are so different. I don't be- lieve a French woman ever uses actual perfume. There is always a delicate odor about her of the sachet powder she keeps laid away in her chiffonier with her lingerie, but never perfume. The odor of the sachet is never fragrant, and yet it is sufficiently pronounced to diff ferentiate the boulevards-that is, the different boulevards and avenues have different perfumes. Those women who drive off the Bois de Boulogne - only the American woman and the shopping girl walks in Paris-use violet sachet; on the Champs Elysees they use lavender, and on the Avenue de POpera they use rose."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

RARE PRESENCE OF MIND.

Gen. Funston at a dinner in San Francisco cited an example of great presence of mind.
 'In the height of the disorder here," he said, "a mob was footing a big grocery when a band of soldiers arrived on the scene. One thief had seized two hams and was about to make off with one under each arm when he ran plump into an officer. Placing the hams in the officers arms, he said, peremptorily: Take care of these, my man, or the first thing you know they will be stolen.'"

DEEPEST LAKE IN THE WORLD.

In the Cascade mountains, about 15 miles northeast of Jacksonville, Ore, the seeker for the curious will find the Great Sunken lake, the deepest in the world. It rivals the famous valley of Sindbad the Sail or. It Is said to average 2,000 feet down to the water on all its sides.
 The depth of the water is un- known, and its surface is as smooth and unruffied as a mammoth sheet of glass, it being so far below the mountain rim as to be unaffected by the strongest winds. It is about 15 miles in length and about four and half wide.
 For unknown ages the lake has lain, silent and mysterious, in the bosom of the great mountain range, like a gigantic trench scooped out by the hands of a giant genius.

NATION HAS NO LANGUAGE
Three "Mother Tongues" German, French and Italian, Are Recog-
 nized in Switzerland.

The Swiss constitute that curious anomaly, a nation without a lan- guage, and in this they are alone among all the peoples of the world. This is all the more remarkable when their intense patriotism is considered, and their really wonder ful love of country.
 The official languages are Ger man, French and Italian, these three being the recognized ''mother tongue" of the majority of the in- habitants.
 About three-fourths of the people speak German, while the remainder divide four other languages among them, mainly French and Italian, the languages varying, as a rule, according to the proximity of the people to each country whose tongue they speak.
 Public documents and notices are printed in both the French and Ger man languages. In the Swiss Ma tional parliament the members make their speeches either in French or German for nearly all the mem- bers understand both these lan- guages.
 The orders of the president are translated by an official interpreter and furnished to the newspapers in both languages.

WATER JUGS ARE PRETTY
New crockery of the Season a De- light to Those Who Have Fad
 for Collecting Pitchers.

Have you a friend who collects pitchers? If so, you will win her to you for life if you give her one of the new little crockery water jugs that are so much admired this sea- son.
 The shape is fascinating-very squat and fat, with unusually wide mouth. The only coloring is three inch wide bands of deep, almost Irish green, about the bulge of the jug, and touch of the same shade on the handle. The contrast with the creamy tint of the crockery is particularly striking.
 Of all collecting fads this of pitchers is one of the most pleasant, while less costly than many. Of course, indefinite amounts may be spent on a single specimen, especial ly if it is an antique; then again 1t is perfectly possible to pick up quaint, really artistic jugs and wa- ter bottles for a mere trife. For some reason both shapes and color ing in the cheap earthenware pitch CTS are often really good.
 Apart from the interest of mere collecting, pitchers are very useful fad. They make a charming deco ration, either arranged on a high shelf molding in dining-room or hung from plate rail. Then, pitch CTS, especially the low, wide- mouthed ones, are invaluable to hold great punches of garden flow CTS in the summer.
 They are also attractive to use for drinking water in guest rooms in summer homes, where a different one may be placed each day, thus giving the pleasure of studying a collection at close range. Naturally the rare or costly specimens are not wise selections for this purpose; nor is it advisable to set them around on small porch tables or tabourets, where they are easily broken.

WRITER'S FEELINGS HURT.

T. A. Daly, whose charming book of verse "Canzoni" has set him in the front rank of American poets, was congratulated the other day on his books remarkable success.
 '"Well," said Mr. Daily, smiling, q hope that this success won't make me as conceited as most young poets are. There is, for instance, a young poet at the Franklin inn, and the day after I had visited the Franklin inn a friend of this young man said to me: Pm afraid you hurt Rimes' feelings last night, Tom

GOOD MAN TO LEAVE ALONE.

We have noticed that the man whose only comment as he reads the paper is a ''kick' on the things he does not like is the same one who 'skicks' on his friends; thinks the town he lives in is the dullest on earth; complains because it rains too much or does not rain enough ; thinks the weather is too hot or too cold. It is no use to discuss any thing in the world with a man of that kind. The only sensible thing to do is to give him time to think by letting him alone. = Atchison (kan.) Globe.

AN EMBRYO GENIUS, SURELY.

A private school for boys on Mad ison avenue boasts of pupil who undoubtedly is destined to high rank as a literary genius, says the New York Press. For some infrac- ton of discipline this boy was sen- tenced to remain after hours and write an essay of 200 words on birds. This is what he wrote:
 'T do not like birds, for in the morning when l am trying to sleep they keep me awake with their twittering, twittering, twittering, twittering, twittering, twittering, twittering, twittering, twitterlng. And so on to the extent of about p words more. And when l get mad and turn over and try and try and try and try and try to get to sleep they still continue to chirp, chlrp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp.' And so on as before. Birds, too, are awful greedy things. They don't do nothing all day but fly around and peck, peck, peck, peck, peck, peck, peck, peck And so on until the required number of words was completed.

TOO MUCH SUSPENSE.

Melton c. Weeks in the course of an address in Denver on the new pure drug law told drug story.
 'Dear knows," said MT. Weeks, "we ought to give the people pure drugs-we charge them enough for them. Sometimes I think we drug dealers would get along better if we didn't show ourselves so greedy in our charges. We are too much like a druggist I used to know in Santa Fe. A miner rode into Santa Fe with dyspepsia one day, consulted a doctor and took his prescription to my druggist friend to be made up.
 Well, how much?' said the miner when the prescription was finished.
 "Iet's see,' said the druggist. Its a dollar ten for the medicine and 15 cents for the bottle. That makes He hesitated, afraid he might have forgotten something, and the miner said impatiently: Well, hurry up, boss. Put a price on the cork and let us know the u-orc+ ,,,

WITH PAPA AT THE TUB
Humorist's Idea of the Way a Man Would Tackle an Important
 Household Duty.

Many fathers stand aloof from the common domestic duties, not because they are so busy or because they are not willing, but because of ignorance, says Tom Mason, in the Delineator.
 How many men are there who would not gladly drop their business at any time and stay home and give Athe baby his bath, if they only knew }how!
 Yet in reality it is much simpler than it seems. Fill the bathtub full of any good water, first carefully removing all germs. Put your el- bow in occasionally to see if it is the right temperature. If ice forms on your elbow you may know the water is too cold. If there are blisters then it is too warm. Be moderate in all things.
 Take the baby firmly by both feet and shake him loose from his flannel moorings, until you begin to see safety pins ahead. Then re- move the safety pins with gas nip pers, and unroll until the baby looms into sight.
 Now, having put on your rubber coat, put one hand firmly under the baby's chest and the other on his back, and launch him on the still waters. When he has kicked all the water out of the bathtub, renew as before.
 Be careful, while you are manipu- lating the baby, to keep him face Vdown. Otherwise, you would not be able to put water anywhere else but in his mouth.

non; you cannot fight without them,
and the bigger guns you have the bet
ter. 1t should get ready and then
wait for the best time. What union
can hope to be successful with an
army Of unemployed waiting outside

There is no better motto for a labor
union than the motto of the Roman
general, Fabius: DO not strike till
the proper time comes, and when it
does come, strike, and strike hard"
During the past year the unions in
New York city have almost wrecked
themselves by ordering series of
half-baked strikes.
The man who led the labor parade
in New York, two years ago, was af-
terward convicted Of extortion, and the
man who led the parade last year is
being tried for the same offense.
How can a trades-union hope to win
public sympathy when it founders in
to strike with tainted leaders and an
empty treasury? This is the straight
question which the labor press must
keep before the unions.
What Is An Ideal Union?
The ideal union is the one that Sc
cures the highest wages and the short
est day by the fewest strikes.
A leader who keeps his union al
ways on the firing line is a Wrecker.
His aim is sure to be either glory or
Doodle, and not the welfare of the
union.
Our great work is to build up the
unions. When a union is so strong
that it commands the respect of the
politicians and the newspapers and the
general public, it will command the
respect of It's employers
