liner STRIKES ON
ATLANTIC REEF
Passengers Of Steamer Uranium Re-
moved to Shore in lifeboats.
CAPTAIN AND CREW STAY ON SHIP
Vessel Struck Rocks Headon During
a Fog-Surf Boats Were Used
in Transferring the
Passengers.

Halifax, y. S., Jan. 13.-The steam
err Uranium, of the Uranium Steam
ship Company, bound from Rotterdam
for Halifax and New York, stranded
on a reef during thick weather near
the Chebucto headlight station, nine
mlles below Halifax. at II o'clock in
the morning, and is still held fast in
the grip Of the rocky shore. Her $50
passengers, 100 in the cabin and the
rest in the Storage, We're taken Oft
government steamer Lady Laurier and
a small fleet Of harbor craft and
were safely landed in Halifax.
Although surf boats had to be used
in transferring the hundreds Of pas
sengers to the rescue boats, the work
was safely accomplished and not life
was lost.
Captain Eustace and his crew re-
manned aboard ship, which is hanging
by her bow en- the reef. The captain
hopes to get the steamer Off at low
water late at night. The escape of a
vessel from such a predicament gen.
captain thinks the weight of the at
lerpart Of the steamer will gradually
drag the Uranium free as the tide
gees down.
There was much alarm, especially
among the steeraSe passengers, when
the ship struck, but the officers and
sailors soon succeeded in restoring
calm. The lightkeeper at Chebucto,
with Halifax, sent immediate news OF
the steamers plight to the port au-
thorities who dispatched the Lady
Laurfer, the steamer BrldgeWater and
several tugs to the scene.
The rescue boats arrived at .
O'clock p. m. and the transfer of the
Uranium's passengers was begun at
once. Three surf boats from the life
saving station and the life boats of
the Uranium were used. The Lady
Laurier took women and children first,
and then the men We're transferred to
the Bridgewater
A heavy southwest wind was blow
ing when the Uranium ran ashore,
and the steamer was therefore fortu-
nately protected by Chebucto Head.
If the wind veers to the opposite d.
site direction the steamer will be eX-
posed to the sweep of the Atlantic
and put in peril.
The STEINER struck head-on when
the tide was half high, and late in the
af, ernoon her bow was six feet out Of
the water, while there was several
fathoms of water under her amidships
and seventeen fathoms at the stern.
The plates at the bow are ripped open
and No. / hold was flooded.

Timely Topics

a light, sharp Ratchet is the best
tool for cutting cabbage.
Lime should be applied after plow-
ing, as it is bound to work down.
Give the lawn a dressing of we'll
rotted stable manure before theground
freezes up and let it stay on all winter.
Never allow weeds to grow around
currant bushes. Mulch them heavi-
ly and do not use a spade to fork up
the ground.
If it pays to shelter stock it will pay
to shelter implements. 1t pays to
take care of valuable property,
whether it be stock, tools or crops.
Since we began leaving our apples
out in cool building as long as we
could before storing them in the cell
lar, they have kept a good deal better.
Fill up those vacant spaces in the
orchard with some good fruit trees.
You wouldn't think of allowing that
much ground to stand idle in the
fields.
The man who puts up an honest
pack of first-class fruit in uniform,
we'll made packages need never fear
that the money spent for attractive
labels will be wasted.
For two seasons past our turnip
sowing proved to be kale, resulting in
loss Of crop. With small trouble
seeds can be saved from almost all
vegetables. By being careful to COL
lect from best specimens they will
give better results than to purchase
from dealers who sell seeds as fresh
which have been in stock for two or
three seasons and give trouble and
disappointment to the buyer.-A. C.

Were Injured

Milfay, Ok, Jan. 13-Twenty.eight
persons were injured, none seriously
when two st. Louis & San Francisco
passenger trains collided head-on. The
trains were northbound No. 4OS and

The Family Medicine Chest

In case of accidents or sickness,
time is often of the utmost importance.
A simple remedy applied at the mo-
ment may prevent long illness. The
medicine chest or closet, therefore,
should have place in every house
hold. It must be placed out of the
way of children, locked, and used for
no other purpose. Do not put too
many things in it nor allow old medi-
cine bottles to accumulate, or you will
be confused, says trained nurse in
Farm and Home.
Never get a medicine in the dark.
Always examine the label and meas
ure the dose. For the latter purpose
a measuring glass marked teaspoon
on one side and tablespoon on the
other will be found useful and more
accurate than the teaspoon, which
holds an uncertain quantity. Water
can be added directly to the medicine
and given to the patient without using
another glass.
In bottles carefully labeled have
castor oil, syrup ipecac, paregoric,
essence peppermint, turpentine, witch
hazel, aromatic spirits ammonia in
glass-stoppered bottle, sweet spirits
of inter in glass-stoppered bottle,
whisky, pint bottle containing equal
parts of linseed oil and limewater
(carron oily, bicarbonate soda, boracic
acid, EPSON salts, compound licorice
powder, can of mustard, zinc oxide
package of absorbant cotton,
package absorbant gauze, roll of old
linen and of flannel, some two-inch
muslin bandages, each fastened. with
pin; adhesive plaster, pair sissors, Or
binary pins and safety pins and few
large needles already threaded.

they could skin skunk without COM
ing in contact with any of the odor,
but l never knew it to happen. once
heard man brag on having skinned
a skunk short time before, doing it
with the odor left out, but he carried
the scent with him all right, and it
lasted for long while, too.
The towns appear to be filling up
with retired farmers, men who have
passed the middle age of life and who
are able to take life easier. | lam not
sure whether this is good thing for
the man or not, but it invaribly is for
his wife. A man may often keep on
farming when age begins to tell on
him by hiring much of his work done
but it is now practically impossible to
hire help in the house, SO the aged
wife must keep on drudging if "the
old man" keeps on farming.
Anything but a bunglesome mitten
to wear when choring. | stick to
cotton gloves as long as the weather
will permit at all, then shift to cotton
mittens, which are a shade warmer
than the gloves of the same material,
but the heaviest cotton mittens are
not always enough, and when it is
necessary to put on heavy mittens it
seems to me that the chores last a
fourth longer just because of those
bunglesome mittens.
The block and tackle wire stretcher
beats any other kind | ever tried. 1t
is quick to put on wire and quick to
take off, and the leverage obtained is
sufficient to make any wire "sing."
