IN THE JAWS OF DEATH.
Thrilling Experience of a Schooner on
the Pacific

The schooner Edward II. West Capt
Smith, which arrived at san Francisco
from Newcastle Australia. brought Il
thrilling story of sudden and fearful
peril, the hasty abandonment of n
doomed ship and a miracle by which
eleven men and a woman on the ocean
at midnight in an open boat had their
comfortable floating home restored to
them unharIned. 1t all happened within
few miles of the Golden gate.
1t was about 10 o'clock Mt night that
the West so narrowly escaped destruc-
ton. There was no wind. 4 dense fog
enveloped the schooner and the only
sounds We're the flap of canvas aud the
rattle of blocks as the schooner tumhled
on the oily swell, Suddenly the silence
was rent by the roar of breakers. The
schooner was in the surf at the south
end of the north Farallon island. So
close was the vessel to the rocks that the
spray from the swell as il broke on the
ragged shore splashed into the white
faces that lined the schooner's lee rail.
THE lifeboati Weather side. Quick"
ordered Capt, Smith, Mrs Smith. who
sails with her husband and is a true
sailors wife, realized the danger, but in
stead of fainting rushed TO the cabin
and brought on deck an armful of
blankets The boat was launched with
all but Capt. Smith on board. lie stayed
with the schooner until the next big
swell and prepared with ferocious de
liberation to hurl it on the rocks. The
captain jumped then into the boat and
gave the order to shove off
''There she goes" said somebody.
But she didn't. 1t was then that the
miracle happened. A little puff of wind,
a swirl from the undertow. the schooner
paid off and unaided by human hand
drifted clear Of the danger. In another
minute the boat was alongside and Capt.
Smith was racing for the wheel. A few
minutes later the lifeboat was hoisted on
board and the schooner was standing out
to sea.
The Edward X. West left Newcastle

vicinity of Honolulu the vessel was be

GREAT SCHOLARS AMONG BLIND.
In All Countries and Ages Blind Men
Have Been Among the Leaders.

In intellectual pursuits blind men have
attained distinction. Nicholas Saunder-
son, blind from childhood, was professor
of mathematics at the University of
Cambridge in the first part of the eight
zenith century. He lectured on optics
and the theory of vision! Henry Faw-
cett, blind at 81, became professor Of
political economy at Cambridge univer-
sity, was a member of Parliament for
twenty years, and, as postmaster general
in Gladstone's government, introduced
the parcels post. A blind man, Prof. i.
ID. Campbell, holds the chair of chemis-
try at Ann Arbor. Prof. Edward Grow
ell, who has taught Latin at Amherst
for fifty years, has been blind for twenty
years. Prescott, the American historian,
was nearly blind. All the world has
heard of the eloquence Of the Hon. r. Z.
Gore, the blind senator from Oklahoma.
Gen. Pfayton, the blind boss of Rhoda
Island. lacks physical sight and perhaps
some other kinds of vision. Chris Buck

whose paths through the dark have been

Blind men Of genius and power stand
out as exceptions, not in the kind of
thing they have done. but only in the de.
gree of their success. They prove that

Household Hints.

OF all cakes is the following recipe:
-Four teaSpoonfuls butter. one cup su-
gar, two eggs. one-half cup milk. two
teaspoonfuls baking powder, one and
one-half cups flour,
Using this as a basis and remember
Ing feW facts one can make ans cake
desired
No cake should contain more than one
half as much butter as sugar. and about
half as much milk as flour. IL more
Than two eggs are used, the cake viii
require less baking powder. Lard or
half butter or vegetable shortening may
be used in place of butter, but in any
ease the best ingredients are necessary.
Exercise great care in measuring IN
gradients and IN preparing the oven.
Measure all dry ingredients first. mix
flour, baking powder, aud salt, and sift
thoroughly.
Cream the butter: this is done by
working the butter until soft with the
mixing spoon. Add the sugar gradually
and work it into the butter. otherwise
the cake will be coarse grained. Add the
yolk of the eggs or the whole eggs and
then add milk and -four alternately until
all is used. Lastly add the whites of the
eggs, beaten to stiff froth. Never stir
cake because stirring breaks IN the
air bubbles. All mixtures containing
eggs should be beaten, never stirred
During baking watch the oven carefully.
If the oven is too slow the cake will
have a coarse texture: if the oven is
too hot it will not rise sufficiently.
A good cake Is slightly rounded and
smooth and even brown all over. II it
cracks open il contains toe much -four
or has baked too fast. The gram should
be fine and uniform throughout and the
cake should not be sticky nor streaR6G
The above suggestions relate to butter
cakes, not sponge cakes.
