CHEATED OF HUMAN MEAL
Seven Stranded Sailors Rescued From
Jaws of Hungry Man.
Eaters.

New York.-How seven sailors, who
had been without food and water for
three days on a sinking barkentine,
were rescued just as they were about
to fall prey to a school of sharks, was
told by Captain Blackadder of a steam
er, which arrived recently from Ha-
vana.
On March II, on the way to Havana,
the steamer ran into the end of a hur-
ricane. In the distance a derelict with
seven men aboard was sighted. Cap
tain Blackadder headed for the wreck.
The sea was so rough that it was i'm
possible to lower a lifeboat.
Jump overheard, and we will save
you," shouted Captain Blackadder.
The men pointed to the water. For
the first time those on the steamer
saw a great school of ~man-eating
sharks following the wreck.
Captain Blackadder realized that the
wreck would go down in a few min
utes and called for volunteers to man
a lifeboat. Five men responded, and
after a hard fight reached the wreck
and took the seven survivors aboard.
Five minutes later the wreck sank.
The rescued men were off the brigan-
tine Mary Burke, which sailed from
Pensacola. loaded with mahogany.

BIG BUCKLES MUST BE WORN
Fashion Is I~nsistent on This Point,
and the Smarter They Are tho
Better the Style.

Big buckles are emphatically to the
upon all manner of hats save those in
tended for really ceremonious occa-
sions; as a fastening for evening
wraps and as claspings for girdles and
collars upon daytime frocks. Therefore
If money isn't an object, be sure to
look about the shops for a really smart
buckle or set of buckles. You will
find them a-plenty, but the smartest
of them are of square, oblong or oval
shape in chisel or jewel-set silver or
gold; in Russian enamel; in Cloisonne
or metal; in ha%nd-painted china and in
jade. Some of the handsomest buckles
are of a fabric like cloth of gold or
silver heavily embroidered; of old
French tapestry threaded with metal
lie strands and of hand-embroidered
velvet or satin.
If you cannot afford to buy a hand
some big buckle and haven't the cour-
age to try to fashion one of a fabric,
search among the trunks in the attic
for an odd shoe buckle. One of these
in metal may be polished and run
through with a strip of black velvet
ribbon, and there is always the chance
that the search may be rewarded by
the finding of a shoe buckle in English
paste than which there is no smarter
trimming for a tailored hat in beaver
or velvet.

LINER HALTS TO HELP MAN
Signal for Doctor Brings Swift Allan
tic Transport to Stop in Mid
ocean,.

New York.-A steamer of the Allan
tic fleet, in recently from London and
Southampton, was halted in midocean
by the little British freight steamship
Mora, bound for Hamburg, which sig
nailed hal she needed medical assist
ance.
The sea was rough, but the captain
of the steamer decided not to pass up
an ambulance call from a d~octorless
freighter flying the flag of his own
country.
So the emergency boat of the liner
was lowered with a surgeon aboard.
He climbed up the swaying sea ladder
of the Mora and found a fireman suf-
fering from epilepsy. The patient re-
vived under treatment by the surgeon,
who left medicine and advice with the
Mora's skipper, and then returned to
the liner.
Among those who saw the unusual
incident of the steamship line was
Beatrice Harraden, novelist, known
chiefly as the author of Ships That

TAKE UP THREE-PIECE SUITS
In the Same Material or in Combina-
ton of Two Silks They Are
Equally Popular.

According to a statement made by
the Dry Goods Economist, the vogue
for garments of the dressier type is
no doubt responsible for the interest
recently shown in three-piece suits.
Up to the present time the majority
of these three-piece suits have been
made up in silks or high-class novelty
worsteds.
Silks have been particularly good
and many smart three-piece suits of
MORE. faille, poplin, charmeuse and
brocade are now being shown, as we'll
as a combination of two silks, such
as MORE and faille, brocade and faille,
etc.
Although ONE three-piece suits
have been brought out to retail at a
moderate price, very little attention
has been given to cheaper grades.
This is because houses that are able
to turn out a good popular-priced
tailored suit seldom have an or
ganization that is capable of making
an equally attractive dress and vice
versa.

CONSTANTINE MAN OF ACTION
Himself Worthy of the Crown He
Has inherited.

Constantine, the new king of Greece,
is of Danish and Russian blood, his
father having been a son of Christian
TX. of Denmark, and his mother being
the eldest daughter Of Grand Duke
Constantine, a brother of Alexander
II. King Constantine was born in
Athens and brought up under an Eng
fish g%overness and German and Greek
tutors. Later on he went to Berlin,
where ne received his education as a
soldier, being attached to the Second
regiment of Prussian foot guards. In
1897 he took command of the Greek
troops in the war with Turkey, but
his army was crushed in Thessaly.
In April last he was appointed inspec-
COR general of the forces, and has since
shown himself a soldier of merit. At
the moment of his accession he was in
Epirus, conducting the military opera
tons for sweeping the Turks out of

ADDS TO THE LENGTH OF LIFE
Nothing Better Than Pedestrian Ex-
e~rcise, Especially to Those Who
Have Passed Beyond Youth.

Some of the most noted of the old
men of New York, successful. in bust
ness, the professions and public affairs,
have formed a walking club for the
purpose of making their pursuit Of
still greater length of days and still
better health as agreeable as it is SEN
sible. They intend to take long walks
together and, no doubt, to make their
pedestrian experiences the subject of
entertaining discussion and a store of
memories held in common. This is an
example which might well be followed
In every city of the United States. In
the era of motor vehicles there is dan
ger that walking will be increasingly
neglected, especially by men and wom-
en- advanced in years, who often need
it most. There is a constant tempta-
ton to forget that riding in the open
air, fine as it is in many ways, can
do for the BODY what walking

Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving Of Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day aft

and greater endurance by using Post

writes:
Il had drank coffee for about twenty
years, and finally had what the doctor
called coffee heart l was nervous
and extremely respondent; had little
mental or physical strength left, had
kidney trouble and constipation.
THE first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
Then I became less respondent, and
the desire to be active again showed
proof of renewed physical and mental
strength.
"I am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. l formerly
did mental work and had to give it up
On account of coffee, but since using

Weeks Apart.

London, England.-All known birth
records have been shattered by the
wife of a workingman at Barrow, Ian
cashire. Feb. "a she gave birth to a
son. April 4 another child-a girl
was born. The existence OF the boy,
who is only six weeks older than his
sister, threatens to raise a perplexing
problem under the British insurance
act. From a medical point of view
they are twins, but regarded from the
standpoint of Greenwich time they
missed twinship by six full weeks.
The father under the insurance act
is entitled to the maternity benefit of
$3.50. If the children are not ad-
judged to be twins he will be entitled
to receive twice $3.50, Tut if they are
twins the act counts them as one.
