THE BLADE and THE
REVIEW both one
year for only
I.2A

The seventy eighth year of its existence
finds the Toledo Blade more popular than at
any >p.riod during its long and successful
career. The Blade is a newspaper of Nation
al influence and importance and goes into every
state in the Union, thereby giving it an un-
questionable right of claiming to be the great
est national weekly newspaper published in
America
The Weekly Blade is distinctly family
newspaper. The one object of its publishers
has always been to make it fit for the Ameri-
can home, for he fireSide, and of interest to
every member of the family. To fulfil this
purpose it is kept clean and wholesome. The
news of the world is handled in a compre-
hensive manner. and the various departments
of The Blade are edited with painstaking care
The Household page is delight to the women
and children; current affairs are treated editori-
1y WITHOUT prejudice: the serial stories
lected with the idea of pleasing the greatest
number of fiction lovers; the Question Bureau
is scrap-boOk of information; the Farmstead
columns are conducted with the purpose of
giving the patrons medium for the exchange
of ideas and and information on farm topics.
o department is neglected, but every feature
is taken care of with the idea of making The
Blade worth many times the price of subscrip-
tion---one dollar year.

LUCK IN SPECULATION
SOME REMARKABLE INSTANCES
ON RECORD.
Small Fortunes Have Been Made From
the Purchase Of Wrecks That at
the Time Seemed to Have No.
Value.

Experts laughed when a well-knoWn
firm of Melbourne grain merchants
paid G368 for the wreck of the Jean
Bart. a French barque which, while
on a voyage from Antwerp to Walla-
roo, ran aground in Spencer gul1'
South Australia. Her hold quickly
filed, and it was soon Impossible TO
float her. For two months she was IN
this condition, and the owners IN
structed the captain to sell the wreck
:by auction A number of Austrian
firms sent representatives to inspect
the wreck. but none of them thought
it worth while to buy. The merchants
in question, however, made bid and
the wreck was sold to them for G36S.
They engaged diver to inspect the
vessel 1t was then discovered that
the damage to the barque was slight,
and that hole about foot in diam
eter, which had been torn in the
bows, could easily be repaired. The
work was begun at once, the water
pumped out of the hold, and ultimately
the vessel was towed to Melbourne,
where it was found that the value OF
the ship and cargo was over $4,000.
This instance of lucky speculation
in a wreck is by no means isolated.
Some time ago man bought steam
er which was wrecked Off Yorkshire
for $500. 1t was not big ship, says
the Standard, but she had a valuable
cargo on board, and it was feared that
the bottom had been ripped out of the
ship and the cargo lost. In the cargo
was a large number of pictures. Few
firms cared to touch the business, and
the underwriters let it go for the sum
stated. But the ship was inspected
and raised and then, to the surprise
of everybody, the cargo was discov-
cred to be little the worse for it's inn
mersion. The property sold for near
ly 10000.
Another lucky speculation was that
of a man who bought a ship which
was wrecked with a valuable cargo off
the coast of Africa. She had been Civ
en- up as hopeless, and he secured her
for mere song. Ultimately he sue
ceeded in raising her and towing her
to Gibraltar. The ship is still sail
ing under another name, and the own
er has made a fortune out of the deal.
It is pointed out that there are
number of wrecks round the shores
of Britain which would prove very
profitable to anyone with facilities for
raising them. The vast amount of
iron and wood in some of the holds
would pay for the cost of salvage,
From the Lizard one can see quite
number Of wrecks on the coast line,
and it has often been suggested that
if these were salved Systematically a
profitable business could be built up in
this way.-London Tit-Bits.

From Pearsons Weekly.
 There was one story Lord Rosebery omitted to tell recently when he formally made the city of Edinburgh a present of Lady Stairs House.
 The story relates to a Lord Stair who was very careful of his money. On ona occasion deputation of his tenants came to ask him if he would subscribe to a memorial that was being erected to a we'll known resident who had lately died. His lordship refused fiatly and the disappoint- ed deputation proceeded to leave the room As they passed out, however, their spokesman fired parting shot.

Buried Alive

A Russian in Samara had the expe- rience of being buried alive. but unfor- tunately he was unable to tell his friends of his sensations, says the New York Sun. It being a fete day, he drank too heavily. and this brought on an epileptic fit. He lay so long without showing signs of life that his friends, without having decided he was dead arranged for his interment that same day.
 While the priest was reading the service over the dead some friends mo- ticed what they thought to be beads of precipitation on the forehead of the man, but as others decided they were fakes of snow the services proceeded and the man was laid in the grave As the hour was late only a few show elfuls of earth was thrown on the cor- fin, and his friends went their way. Early the next morning when the gravedigger went to his task he heard sounds of groans and struggles issuing from the grave.
 Instead of immediately releasing the poor victim the gravedigger went to the parish priest to ask leave. The latter refused the ground that to do so would be against the law The victims wife was then notified and ran to the police for the necessary permit. but they in turn referred her to the
