TINY YAWL IN GREAT DANGER,
aneulug Experience or tete Crew and
Their Narrow Escape.
Taking it altogether, it was an unusual
and startling adventure. I do not caro to
experience a repetition of it.
The 3rd of June, '90, found Steve Doh-
bins, Alf Spooner and me at Port Dover,
which is a Canadian harbor almost directly
across Lake Erie from our home port, Erie.
The harbor is formed by two long piers,
built one each side of the mouth of the
creek, the lighthouse occupying the end of
the west pier. The town of Dover is situated
on the high bluff overlooking the lake.
We mado the Mallard fast to the west
pier and just opposite the little station of
••the Grand Trunk Railway.
The afternoon was a warm, sultry one
and what breeze there was moving early
died out by 5 p. m, 1 took a photo or two
of the yacht, and we lay on the cockpit
cushions and read until Washington our
cook, had supper ready. We ate that ou
under the awning,
In the evening Captain Byerse, John
Sody and Andrew Ball came down and
x t+ w A made us a eau. They are enthusiastic
yachtsmen. 41r. Ball had sold his cutter,
the Vera, the previous Winter and was
building another yacht up the creek, He
had her sail pian with hint, and its produc-
tion started us yarning. We were seated on
deck.
Later the jolly captain of the Ivy Ander-
son, a little pleasure steamer lying by the
coal docks above us, joined us ; then the
captain of the schooner Dow. We only ad.

more than hoped for—it was trvclous, and con- f
tinuous. I recommend it cheerfully to -the profession . The creek was already greatly swollen,
and humanity at large. M. H. GILBERT, M.D. +,,tail pieces of driftwood were being hurried
+io:vn it. We could hear a gang of men
working with the Dow and Ivy Anderson ;
Sold byDruggists, Price $1.®O. and now and then get a sight of them as a
gg� , vivid flash of.lightning would illumine the
scene. The fishermen were down at the fish
house, above the ice houses, hauling their
smacks out on the shore too.
We hurriedly cast off the Mallard's bow-
line—she lay stern up stream—anti manned
her stern line, feeling there was no time to
turn her end for end. Then we began to
strain upon it.
,The:eurrent • of the creek nearly pulled
the little yawl away from us. But for•our-
rubber Loots we would, very likely, have
been drawn into the water. At first the
yatch would not move an inch up stream.
It continence& to follow us very slowly. If
we had had more men we might have done
better.
Then a loud shout sounded far up the
creek. The flood -wave had reached the
Dew—and we had not drawn the Mallard
twenty feet ! Next a flash of lightning
showed us a mass of heavy driftage being
is s0 borne down toward us on a wall of dirty,
yellow water, which had picked up a two -
mast smack as it came. The side of the
little craft had been crushed in and she was
sinking.
" We are .too hate to. reach the icehouse,
mates!" I cried. " But we save the yacht
yet. Jump. aboard !" • ' •
" Yes, if we can beat that flood out'!" ex-
claimed Steve. •
The same idea that had come to me had
occurred to the rest—we might getout of
the harbor before the wave could reach and
crush the yacht
Springing aboard the Mallard, we shoved
off: The current caught the little yacht,
and she started toward the lake with it,
John Sody helping her with the long pike -
pole, which he, drove into the pier and put
his weight against.
" Give her • the jib, boys 1" I shouted,
jumping to the wheel, and Alf and Steve
rushed" forward.

the sail went up. My hands were full in
keeping the yacht from striking the piers,
which are none too wide apart,
"Shall I give her the jigger?;' cried John
Sody, as the little craft heeled to thelee-
ward and tore on.
"Yes !" I shouted.
And, seizing the halyards, he began to
hoist it. The Mallard groaned under the
press of canvas as the jigger went up, and
lay down until her lee -rail was submerged.
She spun past the piles that stood along the
capsills of the piers on either side like a
racehorse. She seemed to realize the
threatening danger. One puff of wind forced
her down until the water swept over the
cockpit rail, but we did not ease off on the
sheets.
One hundred feet freta the lighthouse and
harbor's mouth—fifty ! Then, with a heavy
plunge, the Mallard shot out into the tura
bulent lake. A long sea struck her, filling
the cock-pitwith green water and sending a
cloud of spray up to the jigger's peak, and
then another. She shook the water free
from her deck and bounded on, her sheets
and halyard blocks creaking under the se-
vere tension.
.A. few seconds more and the little craft
was out of danger. The piers were put too
far astern for the angry flood, with its booty
of timbers and the minor debris to harm
hes We gave a rousing hearty cheer.
The storm -staysail was bent on its stay
and hoisted, and we heat the Mallard up in
the teeth of the storm toward Long Point,
which lies south -by -west of Dover. Welay
off and on off the point the rest of the night,
during which the storm subsided, and at
daybreak ran back to port, none the wore
for the night's adventure.
The Dow and. Auderson, we learned, came
within an ace of being carried away by the
cloudburst, and not a little damage was
done the railroad. The smack whioh was
washed out of the harbor we never recov
cred,—Yeakee Blade.
Mtiine Temperance .hates,
The people of Maine have been amending
their temperance laws, making then more
workable and providing heavier penalties
upon violaters. Under the old law the power
to prosecute was confined to the Licensing
Boards, according to the new, any citizen
can institute proceedings against an inn -
holder or victataler who carries on the busi-
ness without license. Formerly the penalty
for bringing into the State iutoxicating
liquors far illegal sale wad $50, now the
penalty is $500, with a year'a imprisonment
in addition. Moreover the new law imposes
upon any steamboat, railroad, or express
comyauy knowingly trausportin C or bringing
such liquors into the State, a find of $500,
and eosts of each offence; increases the
penalty on first conviction for keeping a
drinking -house and tippling shop, and far
other illegal sale of- intoxicating liquors to
5100 fine, and in addition thereto sixty
' days' imprisonment; and authorizes the
search of a person suspected of having in-
toxicating liquors concealed in the clothing
for illegal sale, and snakes the pouring out
or destruction of liquors for the purpose of
preventing their seizure by officers, ptrinm
7a'ae evidence of erl intent to illegally sell
the sense. In the light of these emendlneuts
which are intended to give. greater efficiency
to the law it is not dlliicult to understand
why those interested in the traffic should
be felled with alarm, or tvhy the report
should be sent out thetprohibition is ruining
the State. What is more diilieelt to under-
stand is the stupidity of the Jlainites gener-
ally who will persist in enforcing a law that
is causing such baneful and mischievous
results. After all, is it not just possible
that the people are the best judges in the
matter, and that the declining commerce
exists only in the imagination of those who
desire to bring the restrictive law into dis-
repute.
The Ozarewitoh's Assailant,
According to the despatch of the French
Embassy at Tokio the Japanese who recently
attacked the Czarowitch was a policeman
named Thunda who had been eight years in
the service. The despatch intimates that
the apparent cause for the attack was the
action of the young Prince who on visiting a
Buddhist temple had neglected to remove
itis hoots as was thepractice of those visit-
ing this shrine. This desecration of their
sacred place and offence against the national
religion the outraged official assayed to
avenge and as the Czarewiteh was about to
enter his jinrikasha he dealt him a
blow with the sword. It is not start, d
whether the Czarewitch's offence was
committed ignorantly or, what is more
likely, with full knowledge of the
custom of the shrine. If the latter his con-
duct cannot be too severely condemned.
True it was a heathen custom and aheathen
shrine but that did not give him any right
to trample on the religious feelings and
opinions of his fellows. The fact that they
were in error respecting the real nature of
their god and of his worship did not make
the shrine any less sacred to them. The
young man was not bound to visit the
temple but when of his own motion•11e de-
cided to do so he was bound by every con-
sideration to follow especially in things mor-
ally indifferent the customs connected with
the shrine. It is to be hoped that the rebuke
so painfully administered is this budding
autocrat will not be lost upon him and that
his experience may teach a lesson to those
who are disposed to lightly treat the relig-
ious opinions and: convictions of others be-
cause these opinions and convictions do not
happen to coincide with their own.
The Iron Horse's Breathier
The "breathing" of a locomotive—that is
to say, the number of puffs given by a
railway engine during its journey—depends
upon the eircnmferences of its driving wheels
andtheirspeed. No matter what the rate
of speed may be, for every one round of the
driving wheels a locomotive will .give four
puffs—two out of each cylinder, thecylinders
being double.
The sizes of driving wheels vary, sonic
being 18, 19, 20, and even 22 feet in circum-
ference although they are generally mado of
about 20 feet. The express speed varies from
54 to• 58 miles an hour.
Taking the circumference of the driving
Wheel to be 20 feet; and the 'speed per hour
50 miles, a locomotive will give, going at ex
press speed, 880 puffs per minute, or 52,800
puffs per hour, the wheel revolving 13,200
times in GO miuutes, giving 1,056 puffs per
mile.
Therefore, an express going from London
to Liverpool; a distance of 2011 miles, will
throw out 213,048 puffs before arriving at
its destination. During the tourist season
of 1888 the journey from London to Edin-
burgh was accomplished in less than eight
hours, the 1i.
t stauoo being 401 miles, giving
a speed throughout of 50 miles an hour.
A locomotive of an express train from Lou-
don to Edinburgh, subject to the above con-
ditions, will give 423,456 puffs.
"In practicing the banjo," writes ateach-
er,,"don't get discouraged." That's wise.
You can safely leave that for the person who
has o listen o you.
MET III' or GHOSTLY EINGEQS,
A Typsetter's Story or Ne yrs Getting That
Beat the Telegraph.
"In the summer of 1881," said a com-
positor, "I was running a paper in a little
backwoods town in Pennsylvania. The
paper was not so metropolitan iu its make-
up but that I was able to do all the work
myself with the exception of the printing.
Publication days I called in the services of
a half-witted fellow, who under my iustrnc-
tiott, had developed into an expert roller. I
was the only man within a radius of twenty
miles who knew how to set type, and if 1
had fallen sick the paper would not have
come out until 1 was well again. Naturally I
am not a superstitious man, but an incident
occurred while I had charge of that paper
which I cslnnot explain, and, until it is ex-
plained, Ishall believe thatanythilsg is pos-
sible in the way of ghosts, spooks, wraiths,
&c.
" It was the morning of June 10. I had
locked up my forms the night before so that
t could begin printing early in the morning.
I was pulling the old lever promptly at 7,
and at 9 tho lo,:al list was in tile Post
office. Soon after the delivery had begun
one of the merchants of the hamlet—a very
intimate friend—came into the office.
"'Sow did you come to hear of the death
of your brother so soon?' said he, (There
was no telegraph station within fifteen
miles}.
"' What do you mean?' said I,
"'Mean ?' said he, ' You ought to know
what is in your own paper, Save you far -
gotten that youheard this morning that year
brother is dead ? Have you forgotten that
you setup a notice of it an hour or two
ago ?'
" 'Are yon crazy ?' said I, ' I swear that
I do not know what you are driving at.'
"At this juncture he opened the damp
aheot that I had so recently printed and
folded, and pointed me to the following item
at the bottom of the third eoleran of the
local page :
',John :!ones, brother of William Jones,
was killed at Peoria, Ill., at G o'clock this
morning.'
"My breath was fairly taken away from
me, The merchant was right. There was
the notice of my brother's death in my own
paper, and I had not set it up nor heard of
it,
" ' You are right,' said I, ' but this is the
first that I have known of it. If there ever
was a mystery this is it„'
" I went aver to the forme There was
the three -lino item, The moment Isaw the
type I was more amazed than ever. It was
the type -setting of my brother, who, like
me, had been bred to the printer's trade,
I could tellhis work from that of a thousand,
He was a marvellously even spacer and he
carried his taste sorfar that he always,put
less apace after a comma,
"But how were the lines put into the
looked form? No item had been taken out.
I examined the form closely. Yes, there was
some more of my brother'a work. To gain
tho space, leads had been taken from here
and there jut as lie used to take them. He
was a peat stickler for good looks in a
page, and v. :s t lv fastidious as to whore
he pulled 6;,-. l,:a;l,. ltotruck me right away
that the 1,o: Lie of the death would not have
been so short, would have gone into details
more, but for the fact that my brother did
not wish to remove any of my matter nor
any lead which could not be spared as well
as not,
" Though utterly skeptical about super
natural visitations, from that moment I
believed that my brother's disembodied soul
had mado its way hundreds of miles, had
entered my oifice in the early dawn, liad set
up the notice of his death and put it in the
` form.'
"Lite that afternoon a despatch came to
the edger that William Jones was killed at
Peoria, I11., at five o'clock that morning."

Gutting Glass with Scissors.
A St. Louis paper says that glass may be^
cut with scissors as easily as if it were a
piece of paper. The secret consists in plung-
ing the pane of glass into a tub of water,
submerging also the hands and the scissors.
The scissors will cut in straight lines with-
out a flaw. This result is achieved iu con-
sequence of the absence of vibration. If
the least portion of the scissors is left out
of the water the vibration will prevent the
l
g.ass cutting.
