NOT THEIR TIME TO DROWN
Men Swept From Deck Of Vessel
Thrown Back by Remarkable /
Action OF Waves.

Swept overheard by one giant wave,
four seamen on the British steamship
Ribston seemed to be lost, when an
other big billow took them on its crest
and flung them back aboard the ship.
Their mishap occurred while the YES
sci was on her way from Philadelphia
to Cuba, and the story was told upon
the Ribston's arrival in Havana.
The men were working near the
forward hatch during wild storm Off
Cape Hatteras. When the wave flung
them into the sea their companions
gave them up, because no boat could
survive In such waters. To the great
surprise Of the other sailors, how
ever, they soon saw the four men,
drenched to the skin, making their
way forward from the after part of
the ship. The wave had carried them
the full length of the craft and had
flung them aboard again near the
stern.
The voyage of the Ribston was full
of narrowing experiences. The same
storm which swept the men overheard
carried away several matches and del
uged part of the hold. The ships en-
tire supply Of food was either carried
away or ruined. For more than a
week the men were forced to live on
salty bareback and they were half
starved when they reached Havana.
Several times during the voyage the
engines broke down. The trip ordi-
narily completed in a week took two
weeks. The vessel began to have trou-
BILE while she was still in Delaware
bay, being forced to anchor several
times on account of ice clogging the
propeller, and the difficulties contin-
ued until she ran into Havana harbor.

Tells Time BY Tasting the Hours.

A curious "gastronomic clock" for
telling the time in the dark is said
to have been made in the old times
by an ingenious Freedman. He in
stalled large fiat clock dial beside
the bed, on which the hours each had
small cavity.
In each one he placed a different
spice. For instance, the figure II
held unique and the figure six cloves,
and so on.
To find the time he followed the
short hand with the finger and then
tasted the contents of the cavity OPP

long hand, and had he tasted pepper

MUNICIPAL HOME RULE

Some years ago commission
made a painstaking study of the
subject OF municipal government in
West Virginia and prepared an
elaborate municipal code which. if
was hoped, might provide a stan
dard and uniform system OF admin
1stratjon for all urban communities
OF the State. The code elaborated bv
the Kingsley commission was very
credltable piece Of work, but it
never could get through the legisla-
ture, because the people of our
several cities have never yet reach
ed point where they are all of one
mind as to the form Of municipal GOV
eminent best adapted to their needs.
They are today, perhaps, wider apart
than ever in their views on that uues-
ton, and 1t would be utterly useless
to ask the approaching legislature to
enact municipal code prescribing
a uniform plan of government for all
urban communities.
There is one way, however. in
which the Legislature can free itself
from the incubus of charter legisla-
ton, and that is by enacting a home
the people Of the various cities to
make their own charters. This has
been done by Colorado, and the
Colorado plan provides as follows:
That the people Of each city
in this State are hereby
vested with and they shall al
ways have the power to make,
amend, add to or replace the
charter of said city, which shall
be it's organic law and extend
to all of it's local and munich
pal matters.
The Colorado law provides for
the machinery and procedure where
by the people Of any city may work
out their own salvation in the mat
ter of charter without making any
appeal to the legislature. On peu-
Jon Of O. certain percentage OF the
