PRACTICE CUTTER STARTS
ON TRANSATLANTIC CRUISE
Was Formerly Training Ship for An-
napoIis Students, but 100000
Has Been Spent to Fit
Her Up
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 25.-The practice
cutter of the United States revenue cut
ter service, the Itasca, today started on
her first cruise across the Atlantic.
She had on board twenty-seven cadets
of the first and second class and two
cadet officers.
The Itasca was formerly the Bancroft,
built as a training ship for the naval
academy class at Annapolis, and a year
ago was turned over to the treasury de-
partment. Since that time more than
100000 has been spent on her.
On the cruise, which will last until
October, the cadets will receive their sea
training, and the barkentine rig gives
them the opportunity of learning the
sails as we'll as the routine of a steam
vessel, and thus takes the place Of the
bark Salmon P. Chase, which for many
years has been practice vessel.

BEST TONIC Stimuli ANT

Mr.. George |. Goodwin, a Temperance
Advocate, who is 81 Years Old, Has
Been Greatly Reiuvenated by the
Use of Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey, and Praises it as
the Greatest Tonic Slim

ulant for the Old

Mr.. Geo. E. Goodwin, his son,
recently wrote: Writing for my
father, would say that he is now
approaching his eighty-second
year, but owing to loss of sight
is not able to 60 out much and get
his accustomed exercise, which he
has had for years. He has never
been in the habit of using stimu-
lants in any way, but finding that
he required something of the kind,
has tried several, and prefers Duff
fy's Malt Whiskey to any other.
He takes small dose once a day,
with an equal quantity of water,
as the strength is sufficient, and
considers that he has been much
benefited by its use. AS for my
self, | never use stimulants of any
kind, but heartily approve of your
manufacture, as it has been so
beneficial to my father"
Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskey is
distilled wholly from matted grain
and its softness, palatability and
freedom from injurious sub
stances make it acceptable to the
most sensitive stomach. There
are thousands of men and women
in this country alone who have
passed the hundred year mark,
and nearly every one of them has
publicly acknowledged that he or
she owes health, strength, con-
tinued use of all the faculties, and
extreme old age to Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey, the great cure and
preventive of disease, the true
elixir of life. 1t is gentle and
invigorating tonic and stimulant
for old and young, and its medi-
cinal properties make it invalu-
able to overworked men, delicate
women and sickly children. Duff
fy's Pure Malt Whiskey has been
analysed many times by the best
chemists during the past fifty

to be absolutely pure.

DEEDS OF HERoisM
DAILY COME TO LIGHT
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PORTLAND. Ore, July 25.-Deeds of
valor were many among those who passed
through the trying experiences during the
wreck of the steamship Columbia off
Shelter Cove, and to the weaker sex
are accredited acts of surprising courage.
One is that of Miss Watson, who sup
ported Miss Griese for two hours before
being rescued.
The other and by all odds the most
extraordinary is the performance of
Ethel Johnson, IL years old, who saved
two lives-a child of IL and a man.
Buoyed by life preserver little Ethel
held to u-year-old Effie Gordon and later
cheerfully gave aid to Olaf Pearson Of
this city, who, all but exhausted from
his efforts, swan up to her.
Pearson had no life preserver, but by
placing his hand lightly on the childs
shoulder he kept his head above water
until rescue came.
Pearson says the child showed mar
velous presence of mind and remarkable
courage and helped him in every way
she could.
Tows Burdens to Raft
Eventually after much exposure, he
says, the little girl towed her burden to
life raft, upon which all three were
taken.
Her brother, C. Johnson, II years old,
kept hold of his mother, who had been
knocked senseless, and buoying her upon
his shoulders kept her afloat until they
were saved.
To A. Larsen and S. Peterson are
credited the saving of the lives of twen-
ty-siX passengers
During the time that interviewed be-
tween the collision and sinking of the
Columbia the sailors observed several
people vainly trying to clear a lifeboat.
Though the boat was almost a length
away they ran to their assistance and
with their knives cut away the lashings.
filled the boat with twenty-six people
and rowed the boat clear from the whirl-
pool the Columbia caused when she sank.
This was the boat which picked UP Pear

Sandy and the Mare.

A Scottish paper tells a story of San

had been spending an hour or two in

his friends hospitality, was riding
quietly home across the sheep pastures

refused to cross.

Packinq Apples.

The bulk of apples handled in the
market still comes in barrels, but the
first class apples that bring the fancy
prices are handled III boxes. The
trade in fancy apples is increasing
annually. The barrel is too rough a
package for first class fruit and IS
much too large. Many people who
would not think Of purchasing SO large
a package as barrel of apples would
gladly buy a box Of them. One good
box Of apples is but the first Of long
line that will follow. Last year our
apples at the Maryland experiment
station were very conveniently mar
keted in forty pound boxes and sold

called for. This brand is not yet a
decade old, but its demand in the mar

A candidate for the royal engineers

meet two high hills, between which
ran small stream.
In due course an excellent set Of
drawings was presented, one showing
the bridge in it's completion, with st
sketch of the surroundings, and on
which sat two men, with their legs
hanging over the side, fishing. The
drawing was returned with the request
that the men be removed from the
bridge.
Upon receiving the paper the second
time the professor discovered that his
instructions had been carried out, but
that the two men were seated on the
bank of the stream, still in quest Of
representatives of the fnny tribe.
Again was the paper returned, and
this time with positive orders to re-
move the men from the drawing alto

he states that the Lindley blossoms

crop of twelve clusters in 1901.
These grapes are of translucent flesh

quality is good to very good. The col

A PARASITE CREEPER.
New ZeaIand's Vegetable Caterpillar Is
Most Peculiar Plant.


The most extraordinary object have
ever seen is the New Zealand vegetable
caterpillar. The rata is a parasite
creeper which first destroys it's forest
host and then brushes it to death and,
usurping its skeleton, becomes a tree
itself. If the rata, seeding is dug up
it is found to be springing not from a
seed, but from the head of a perfectly
formed caterpillar.
1t is supposed by some that the
caterpillar, which on dissection proves
to be internally the exact counterpart
of it's living insect relative, swallows
the tiny rata seed while living and,
burrowing into the ground, becomes,
instead of a chrysalis, the terminating
home of the seed which by some
agency turns its unfortunate foster
mother into wood
Others, however, contend the cater
pillar itself is produced by the rata,
urging in support Of their theory that
if springing from a seed the shoot
would grow out Of different parts Of
the caterpillar instead Of invariably
growing out of the head.
The insect vegetable Is yelloWish,
about four inches long and is fully ex-
tended. | have seen them freshly dug
up and others that have been kept for
years, and all had the appearance of

Wipinq Apples.

The question often comes up, Does
it pay to wipe apples? 1t cert
does if the market demands
willing to pay for it. Thn o,4on is
sometimes raised that the keeping
qualities of fruit that has been wiped
are impaired, and this may be true;
but such apples are generally disposed
of in the fall, and in the long run we
have no figures to show definitely the
effect-of wiping Nevertheless, where
apples are sprayed late so that they
are spotted with spray mixture when
picked, this should be removed in
some way, and wfping seems to be the
best solution This does not necessa-
rily mean great amount of polishing
Loose mitts can be easily made from
flannel cloth, and one good twist will
remove outside dust and spray spots.
Where apples are to be wiped, this
must be done shortly after they are
picked, for if left very long they tend
to sweat trife and become gummy.
making wiping a difficult and costly
process. The apples should be stored
until packed and packed in some cool,
well ventilated building The natural
moisture conditions in our climate in
the fall are such that if the apples are
stored where it is cool their keeping
qualities do not deteriorate. Houses
that can be well opened at night and
closed in the daytime will furnish the
best conditions as regards temperature.
Never heap the fruit in immense piles
or store in bins, as such methods in
vite sweating and bruising in handling,
but preferably use field boxes, having
end cleats SO that they can be piled
one on top of the other and still allow
for plenty Of ventilation-C T. Lewis

Regulations and Inspections.
The days programme aboard man
of-War is calculated to make the boy
who wants to run away to sea sit up
and think twice. It varies somewhat
according as the ship is in port or at

ing till 7:30 at night, it is rather
strenuous round Of scrubbings and
drills. The recruit realizes very soon

IS followed by a half holiday in the
afternoon, and on Sunday morning the
captain himself inspects his ship from

toned just below on the hurricane
deck, and the bluejackets stand on the
port side of the quarter deck and the
marines on the starboard, all ready
for inspection.
But life isn't all scrubbings, regula-
tons and inspections. On the larger
ships the government furnishes ath-
letic supplies, and each man-of war
has her champion boxer and baseball
and football teams. These teams are
managed or supervised, at least, by
officers, and many an ensign or lieu,
