him was at Elandslaagte. The battle

difficult and dangerous passage
through the opening in the reef was
begun.
Only the captains boat reached the
shore The mates was caught by a
huge breaker, dashed against the reef
and sunk. Captain Nat, his second
mate and five of his men were all that
was left of the Sea Mist's company.
And on that island they remained for
nearly two weeks. Provisions they
had brought ashore with them. Wa
ter they found by digging. Nat hid
the gold at night, burying it on the
beach below high-water mark.
Then, having made sure of his To-
cation by consulting the chart, he de-
termined TO attempt voyage to the
second island, where he knew the
English colony to be. Provisions were
getting short, and to remain longer
where they were was to risk starva-
ton and all its horrors. So, in the
longboat, which was provided with a
sail. they started Charts and papers
and the gold the skipper took with
them. None of the crew knew of the
existence OF the money; It was Sc
cret which the captaia kept to HIM

found, to their CONSERVATION and sur

Wooden Aid.

You will find nothing more helpful

says a contributor to Needlecraft.
For turning corners, in stitching a

in place when you have a bit of in

saving a great deal of basting; once
used you will never be without this

Flowers In a Bedroom.

Opinions differ as to the feasibility
OF having plants in bedroom. How
ever, almost all authorities ssree that
plants and trees, through their leaves,
absorb obnoxious gases and give OF
oxygen, and that plants require a gas
called carbonic-acid to promote a
rank. luxuriant growth. The gas thus
breathed by the plants Is poisonous to
air-breathing animals. including man,
and as It is also given out in the
breathing of animals it is poisonous to
be re-breathed; but the plants thrive
on it. This being the case the deci-
sion would be In favor Of having the
plants in the room TO absorb TIE poiSr
