SAVED THE SHIPS CREW.
Daring Rescue by Heroic Nswfound-
land Fisherman.


Sir Edward Norris. prime minister
OF Newfoundland. tells in the Wide
World magazine IL remarkable story Of
herotsm on the phrt of Newfound-
land fisherman. The name OF this man
was George Harvey. aud he resided In
a low. rocky island. a few miles east
of Cape Ray.
In those. days five e.nigrant ships to
st'anaua were crowded with passen-
GERS. In the autumn of 1889 the brig
Dispatch. bound to Quebec. with 1G3
souls, in 81 gale Of wind. struck a rock
about three miles from Harvey's home.
He heard the signals Of distress and
Immediately launched his boat with
his boy of twelve. his girl of seventeen
and his dog. and tried to get out to
the wreck. On the deck of the DOOM
ed ship were crowded the crew and
passengers. in imminent peril Of their
lives. A terrible sea ragged between
his boat and the wrecked ship. but
across that awful waste Of water the
gallant fisherman and his brave chill
lren urged their frlil skiff. To get
close to the stranded ship was to court
instant destruction. and the task Of
saving those OH board seemed we'll
nigh hopeless, but Harvcy's noble
Newfoundland dog. with marvellous in
telligcnce. seemed to understand what
was required Of him and ut ~ signal
from his master sprang out of the
boat and swan toward the ship. The
seas overwhelmed him and drove him
back. but he persevered and finally
,.ume near enough. The sailors threw
him rope. which he gripped with his
sharp teeth. and at last he got back to
his master and was drawn into the
boat almost dead from exhaustion.
Communication was now established
between the ship and Harvey's skiff,
and with the most laborious efforts ev-
cry soul was saved.

Because YOU Have Read Them.
The mere fact that moths cannot
read is no reason wing they should de.
test newspapers. hut they do neverthc-
less. 1t isn't exnc.ly the newspaper or
its editorial poll y that moths dislike.
It's the Ink use! iii printing the type
that makes the moths stay away. That
Is why, in the nbsGaec .uf motlproof
bags and cedar chests. some house

end of the winter season aud find
that is Il satisfactory way of prescrv-
Ing them against the rayage, Of moths.
There is nothing better t.Ein old news
papers for use under the carpets for
the same reason
Old newspapers have many other
uses rs well. Wet ia water they serve
to clean out the Stove splcnd!dly
Crushed newspapers are excellent tn
clean lamp cliintsicss. They can even
be used for un iron holder for an
emergency.
Newspapers dipped In lamp oil arc
useful for cleaning windows. Irons
not much soilel can be rubbed on old
newspapers ard thus made fit for use.
Dipped in lamp oil they are splendid
to rub the outside of the dishpan.
They keep 1t bright and shining. Torn
In shreds, slightly dampcncd and scat
tered over the carpet. they keep down
dust when sweeping They clean the
sink of its grease and sediment Moth
Ing is better, for the greasy paper can
be at once burned after use
Many times folded newspapers will
serve as Il mat to stand hot and black
encd pots or kettles on and save soil
Ing the kitchen table. The Kitchen
stove is kept bright after the cooking
of each meal with oldNTapers. and this
saves many polishiDgs.
