'Lockport, N, Y., says:'
"Over thirty years ago, I renewable
hearing my father descrlbe the wooden
fel curative effects of Ayer's Cherra
Pectoral. During a recent attack of Lai
Grippe, which assumed the form of a
catarrh, soreness of the lungs, wore-
yanied by an aggravating cough, I
used various remedies and prescriptions.
'While some of these medicines partially
alleviated the coughing during the day,
none of them afforded me any relief from
that spasmodic action of the lungs which

And had about decided to sit up all night

ABOUT THE HOUSE.
A liand3r Sewing Basket,
In the bottom of a light, round Willow
baldtet 13 incluse in diameter by three
inches deep, le fitted a eirole of piniteboard
smoothly (severed with lining silk over a
thin layer of wadding. This ie all the
lining required, Around the upper part of
the basket itaside, nine apools, a pin oushion
and a ahirred pooket for thimbles are fast-
ened Ali in a row, The nine spools (No. 20,
36, fel, it sewing silk and shoe thread,
black No 20, 40, 60 and basting oottou,
white; are each strung on a piece of ribbon
half an inch wide by at least 14 inches long.
Each ribbon end is brought through to the
outside of the basket just belowthe brim.
The dainty pincushion, two inches square,
and the thimble pocket of the same materi-
al, have ribbon ties tacked with the tiny
bows to their upper corners. These are
alao passed through to the outside where
by tying the 11 pairs of ribbon ends into
neat bows the trimming of the basket is
completed.
Arranged in this way the threads cannot
become tangled, an empty spool is easily
replaced and there is plenty of room leftfor
all the other necessary furnishings of our
handy sewing basket.
Health on Washing Day.
Henrietta has the toothache. I am sorry
for her, but I know full well that she will
keep it, and by and by she will have neu-
ralgia and rheumatism and a dozen other
aches, unless she learns soon to take better
care of herself, writes v. 'correspondent.
In looking back over my past life, the
only thing Mutt I regret is the extravag-
ance with which I used my health. Y Guth
is apt to say, "I don't care; it womt hurt
me," until health is saorificed ; and it takes
years to get it back, if it is done at all.
One 001111110II way of injuring health in the
kitchen is on washdays, rubbing clothes
out of hot suds until one is wet with sweat
then going out to hang them out, bare.
headed and bare armed often. You say,
"I cannot help it; Mullet be done." Just
so, but litseu. First, if you must rub your
clothes near the stove and fire, heat as
much water before you begin to rub as pos-
sible, then let your fire go down pretty well
and keep yournhom as cool as possible un-
til your clothes are rubbed out or nearly
so then make up a good fire while you pre-
pare your sudsing and rinsing waters, but
don't run 'out into the cold just as you
have been over the washtub. If you are
warm take a towel and rub off al lthe sweat
dry; wipe your hands well, and it you
don't want them to chap, rub on a little
corn meal ; now put on hood and jacket,
and then empty the dirty suds, and pre.
pare your tubs for rinsing; during thi
time your first boxier of cloths will boil,
and you can proceed as fast as you like.
Don't hold up your hands in horror at
the idea of so much fuss in wipini dry
from weat, and donning wraps. You can
take my word for it that you will gain
time in the end by doing so. I have done
the washing in a family of eight, as rtou
of, and know whereot I speak. Instead
of laying up aches on washing day, you
can by care get rid ot some of them, and
almost feel as if you had a good spin on a
wheel—bicycle —not spinning wheel.
There is nothing quite ao valuable as
heaith, and if the young people could only
be brought to see this it would go a great
way toward making their fartunes. Don't
stand in a draught of air while rubbing
your clothes, or doing any work whatever
I think you will find it much safer to
avoid draughts, whenever you cam While
strong andvigorous you do not at once
feel any harm frorn them, and I am certain
the harm is there just the same, and when
once you are not so strong and well yru
will feel its effect immediately. Take time
by the forelock and keep your health while
you have it, and you will not have to
follow a doctor in pursuit of it.

Sanger* and Fight tor Life —The Cap-
tain's Order to Save the Women and
Children First Irtilteeded.
A despatCh from Loudon says:—The
North German Lloyd steamship Elbe,bound
from Bremen for New York, sank at 6
otslock Wednesday rnorning,after colliding
with a small steamer in the North Sea,fifty
miles off Lowestoft. She carried 240 pas-
sengers and 160 officers and seamen, 22 sur-
vivors of the wreak have been landed and
it few others may still be afloat in a life
boat. All the others were lost. Capt.
Von Goessel went down with his ship.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST DISASTER.
The Elbe left Bremen on Tuesday after-
noon. The Jew hours of the voyage before
the disaster were uneventful. At 4 o'clock
In the morning the wind was blowing very
hard and a tremendous sea was running.
The morning was unusually dark. Num-
erous lights were seen in all directions,
showing that many vessels were near
by: The captain cirdered, therefore, that
reekets should be sent up at regular inter-
nals to warn the craft to keep out of the
Elbe's course.
It was near 6 o'clock, and the Elbe was
some 50 miles off Loweetoft, coast of Suf-
folk, when the lookout man sighted a
steamer of about 15,00 tons approaching.
Rh gave the waiel, and as a precaution the
number of rockets was doubled and they
were sent up. at sh'ort intervals. The warn-
ing was without effect. The steamer came
on with unchecked speed; and before the
Elbe could change her course or reduce her
speed notably there was the torriffc crash
of the collision. The Elbe was hit abaft
her engine room. VVben the entailer:Ater
er wrenched away an enormous hole as
left in the Elbe's side. The water pou ed
through and down into the engine room in
a cataract. The room filled almost linden ,
ly. The engines were still and the big%
hulk began to settle. .
PASSENGERS IN A PANIC.
The passengers were in bed. The bitter
cold and rough sea had prevented any early
rising, and only the officers and .crew on
duty were on de* when the ship struck.
The shock and crash roused everybody.
The steerage was in a panic in a moment,
and men and women and children, half-
dressed or in their night clothes, came
crowding up the companion.ways. They
had heard the sound of rushing water as
the other steamer backed off and had felt
the Elbe lurch and settle.
They had grasped the fact that it was
then life or death with them, and a,lmoat
to a man had succumbed to their terror.
They clung together in groups faning the
cold and norm,. and cried aloud for help or
prayed on their knees for deliverance..
The officers and crew were calm. For
it few moments they -went among the ter-
ror-stricken groups trying to quiet them
and encouraging them to hope that the
vessel might be saved.
ONLY TWO BOATS' LAUNCHED.
It was soon apparent, however, that sthe
Elbe was settling steadily. The officers
were convinced that she was about to
founder'and gave orders to lower the
boats. In a short time three boats were
got alongside, but the seas were breaking
over the steamier with great force and the
first boat wets swamped before anybody
could get into it. The other two boats,
lowered at about the same time, were filled
quiekly with members of the crew and
some passengers, but the number was
small, as the boats held only twenty per-
sons each.
The boat carrying the 21 persons who
were landed at Lowestoft put off in such
haste from the sinking steamer that nobody
in it noticed what became of the other boat.
The survivors believe, fiowever, that she
got away safely. They say that they toss
ed about in the heavy seas for several hours
before they sighted the Wild Flower. The
little smack bore down upon them at once,
and took them aboard. They were ex-
hausted from excitement and exposure.
Several of them were in a state of collapse,
and had to be carried and dragged from
one boat to the other.
"SAVE THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN MAST 1"
Third Officer Stollberg says that he can-
not explain the collision, and that it is
unlikely that any adequate account will be
obtained, as all the deck watoh on duty at
the time were drowned. The captain was
on the bridge when the collision onsurred,
and Officer Stollberg heard him shout in a
loud, firm voice that the women and
children were to be saved first The cap-
tain's voice reached a considerable distance.
His order was repeated by the ohief officer,
and must have been heard by everybody
aboard.
Officer Stollberg expressed the warmest
gratitude to Skipper Wright and the crew
of the Wild Fleeter. The roughness of the
sea, he eaid, [Bede the work of resoue ex-
tremely perilous. The fishermen gave the
survfvors the use of everything aboard the
smack and fed and clothed them. There is
sosne hope that the missing boat has been
rescued, inasmuch as there were several
smaeire in the vicinity of the oollieion.

. Red Clover.
Red olover (Trifolium pretense) is one of
the best known and moat widely distribut-
ed of our farm plants, and a most valuable
plant it is from whatever standpoint we
view it. It easily takes the leading place
amongst our forage plants, as wheat does
amongst our grains. This oldefashioned
red clover has done a great deal for the
advancement of agriculture. Its cultivation
has enriched many sections of country and
it has proved itself to be one of the best
renovators of old worn-out lands andhas led
to an increased production of live stock and
sive stock products,and therefore,to better
arming aiid better profits for the farmers.
Much good work has been done with it in
the past, and more,much more; can be done
with it in future if our farmers take hold of
it in earnest and push it vig orously and
intelligently. But he may not care to do
this ; he may leek the push and the vigor,
may be more disposed to rest than work
his brain over the clover question. No
matter how he manages or mismanages his
clover. If he grows it at all he must fiud a
clover crop a beuefit, and he is certainly
making his farm better. In this country
it hi seldom sown alone, very usually with
timothy, as a bay crop mixture giving the
bulk of the cropthe second year, often a
i
good afteemath n the fall and a lessening
quantity afterwards, More rarely it is
sown with other grass mixtureis. Orchard
grass and red clover go well together.
Distribution. —Red clover Is a native of
Europe, where it grows wild in nearly all
parts except Greece. It is ales, found in
many parts of Asia, in Africa, Siberia,
India, and, Cashmere. It has been intro-
duced and acclimatized in many parts of
America. It was grown in India very
many years ago,the exact date is uncertain.
