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. jounred when a low rumbling peal of thunder The sums of this Great Cough Cure is tar inland warned us that a thunderstorm without a al allot in the histo: 7 • of medicine, was approaching. p I set 4vashin;ton to rolling up the awn- Meitfvc ;;uarantee, att:st that no other cure can sue- when am visitors ht d. gone, and Stow, cessiuily stand.

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.

" Give her • the jib, boys 1" I shouted, jumping to the wheel, and Alf and Steve rushed" forward. The Hood -wave behind us made a low, ominc usgrowl es it swept along. • '• Cut the downhaul !"

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." O' 0 It's ecfsy e7zolgla —the Ball corset. That's be- cause it has coils of fine wire springs in the sides. They clasp the figure closely, but yield to every motion. They "give", but they come back. So does your money -if you've worn a Ball corset two or three weeks, and find that you don't like it. Tor Sale by J. A. Stewart, Exeter. N4'I'HICa x..IKIE IT. 1 R.
