"Matter enough. You'll find out for

fully eighty miles au hour.
The sky darkened, the air was hot and
stifling in spite of the rate at which the
wind was blowing, and soon tho rain fell
in torrents. Everybody on deck was
lashed to snnrething, or clung with all
his strength to prevent being blown over-

the pa..seugers would be safer below

came aronud the captain gave the order for
us to descend and time cabin doors were soon
closed upon Ins and securely lashed. Then we
watched for a time through the bull's-eye
windows the effect of the wind upon the
waters, but the spray and rain were so dense
that very little could be seen. After a while
we gathered about the saloon table; the ves-
sel was rolling and pitching so fearfully that
we had to cling to the table and chairs in
order to retain our places. We could hear
the roaring of the wind, the swishing of the
waters, the patter of the rain on the deck

torn up by time roots, and immense damage
was caused for many miles around."
"How did you escape withyour life when
your junk went ashore?"
"I don't know exactly how it happened,"
was the reply. "Half the crew were
drowned; yes, more than half of them.
When she struck I jumped overboard and
let the wind and waves carry me where they
would. By the greatest good fortune I was
carried into the limbs of a tree that the
wind was bending low, but had not yet up-
rooted, arid it was the tree that saved me
from being dashed to my death."

he, "and with no land in sight. It was tell

AN EDUCATED ECHO.
'Surprise That Atralteel Aome Tourlsls In
Scotland.
In the course of last Summer some at rang -
ON of distinction were inti reed to visit ra
wild and untftec1ucnted retreat in a distant
part of the 13igltlands, .thietly from the re-
port they heard of an echo which was re-
markable for the clear and distinct nature
of its revel,etation.
On reaching the spot whence the trial of
its powers is usually made their guide put
this hands to the side of his mouth and bawl-
ed out with the lungs of a Stertor a saluta-
tion in Gaelic, which was repeated wit h a
precision that seemed beyond the expeeta-
tir,ns of the party.
One of the gentlemen, by way of trying
the strength of his voice, pint his hand to
tire side of his mouth in the same manner as
bis guide and called out:
"How far are we from hone?"
These words, much to the surprise of
their guide, were repeated, when poor Don-
ald, with n simplicity tthiuh brought a
smile over the faces of all present, exclaim-
ed:
"You may think it strange, gentlemen,
but this is the first time I ever heard our
echo speak English."
"I have no doubt," said the gentleman,
"but it can repeat other languages if you
put it to the test," and instantly bawled out
some brief question in French, Spanish and
Italian.
Donald looked more dazed than ever.
"\\'ell, I must say that's very queer. My
own father :and my own self have known
that echo for more than severity years, awl
we never knew it use any language but
Gaelic before,"
"Your echo is more learned, then, than
you supposed?" said the gentleman, laugh-
ing, though at a loss whether to impute
Donald's remarks to archness or eintplicity).
"You may say that, sir," said the poor
fellow, with an expression of ea•neetness
that was highly amusing to those present,
"but as the echo has never been out of the
country, where can she have got tall her
education?"
Queen Victoria's Private Car.
An official of the Midland road took me
into the Queen's carriage as it stood in St.
Paneras station. The walls of the saloon -
are of satin -wood, highly polished. The
cushions are of white silk, embroidered in
gold thread. A garter containing her
motto, "Rini soil qui mal y pease,' sur-
rounds her initials, V. R. Her large chair
—land it takes a large one, too—la at the
back of the carriage and faces the engine.
At her hand is a silver plate, in which
are electric n.nnunciators, pressing which
she can call her different attendants, who
occupy another compartment. Three other
easy chairs are in tier compartment, besides
a satinwood table about six feet long and
three feet wide, upon which were piled the
latest English, French, German and Ameri-
can periodicals. The carpet is of velvet,
and in a good state of preservation, consid-
ering it has been in use over fifteen years.
The eurttains at the windows and a portiere
aro hung on silver )poles. The door -handles
are solid silver, and the wholeealoon has the
appearance of solid luxury. Victoria her-
self selected the furnishings, which are said
to pattern after the whits drawing -room at
Windsor Castle. The whole saloon, with
fittings, cost between :a,3t),000 and 135,000.

of temperance societies and others who
desire to encourage ro^caution. The beat
fun is to see "'Conrnny" acting the part of a
lady; he looks so enormously tall, and
gives himself such airs and mincing ways—
I suppose military actors must see w•01uen
of titin sort, or else they would not, when
personifying female characters, affect these
graces.
The ladies who witness these theatricals
in barracks can scarcely be flattered at ace-
ing themselves, as the actors must have
seen them in order to reproduce them in
this way in their representations. But
what "brings down thehouse" must of all,
so to speak, is step dancing. The man who
is "handy with his feet," as the Irishrrmat
said, is sore of appreciation anti applause.

soldiers have learned that it is not
wise for a man to say all that lie knows.
That soldiers ale some beautiful work and
make very artistic things, especially in In-
dia, where they have to remain soloing ]tours
under cover—visitors to Chelsea hospital are
aware.
Of out of door amusement there is no want.
An alley for skittles and a ball court are pro-
vided in all barracks, and in many, to rift
range, of late years, where men can amuse
themselves at target practice. The several
companies in a battalion have cricket ele-'
vens, and if near the sea boat crows.
Bathing parades, unlike outer parades, af-
ford in summer much amusement, at least
to the swimmers. Some omen try to shirk
and these have to be forcibly immersed.
TILE PIPE RACE.
Many of the aergeunts own bicycles. In In-
dia, Cyp}ress, and wherever living is cheap
they indulge in the game of polo.
One day of the year almost every regiment
no matter in what part of the world it is
stationed has a meeting for athletic sports.
Even on active service time and occasion for
these sports is sometimes found and then
they are especially useful, keeping cheerful
and contented those who endure many hard-
ships. The clay of the sports is as far as
)mnasilile ra holiday for the men, and to the
officers an occasion for being "at home" to
their friends.
Of these sports perhaps those that excrite
most interest are the obstacle races and the
tug of war•. To the former each regiment

Fining and Frothing Jiver.
It is hard for the uninitiated to under-
stand that time frothing of hoer is a matter
of any importance. That it is so considered,
however, is shown by a recent patent. It
appears that the preparation usually em-
ployed for imparting the froth or foam,
the depth of which enters so largely into
the calculation of the saloon keeper, is
saponin, in the form of an infusion, or ex-
tract of quillai bark; and such preparation
is made according to the ordinary methods
by first either concentrating an infusion of
quintal bark by evaporation, so as to pro-
duce a' strong liquid, or evaporating such
infusion to a paste or dryness, and then

The Use of Torpedoes.
There is just now a strong reaction
against the use of torpedoes in England.
Whatever may be the ultimate conclusion
with regard to the merits of the torpedo in
time of war, the recent mauceueres have de-
monstrated that the type now used in the
English navy will hate to he greatly ht -

A cue versation sprang up. The one

woman and bluejacket were brother

covert led to a very affectionate
greeting. The two were orphans,

HAVEN'T LONG TO LITE.
A big sensation in church circl
Was created et Indiaualmoiis, Ind
ee
by the avuouucelnent that Dr.
fnseplr Jenkin, rector of a St. Paul's
Episcopal Church, had filed his re-
signation with the vestry.
All ;authentic source of informa-
tion are very reticent as to the
causes, the only explanation vouch-
safed being that other fields of
church work are demanding all Dr.
Jeukes' services,
$ick of this reason is another,
which feuds the case an unusual in-
terest.
Of recent years Dr. Jenkes has
been a close student, of history as
applied to revelation. Recently he
pl'of'rssee to have made discoveries
which, applied to the prophecies,
convince him beyond a doubt that
the end of the world is near and
that it will certainly Colne within
the Iluxt tent tiaras.
a
Three weeks ago he commenced
series of' sermons on this subject, in
which all the force of his fiery and
impressive eloquence was brough
to beer in warning ,sinners to pre
pare for the day of judgment,
His declarations commanded un
iversal interest and attention here,
and since the commenoement of the
discourses St. Paul's Church has
been taxed
TO HOLD TRE CROWDS
that thronged to hear him.
There is a very considerable ele-
ment of the church, however, who
strenuously objected to this sum-
mary winding up of all things
earthly, and this objection, as is
stated upon excellent authority,.
culminated in an express wish thatt
Dr. Jenkes seek another field of
labor,
The Doctot refuses to, be inter-
viewed by the press and refers. re.
porters to the vestry, while the
latter will assign no reason beyond
that stated.
Dr. Jenkes is a native of Indiana,
but has engaged in church work in
Ohio and at Louieville, Iiy. He
has been pastor of St. Paul's Church
eight years and in that time has
lifted a
debt of $20,000 and made
the church one of the most prosper-
ous in the city. He is popular with
all classes and his removal would
be generally regretted
It is hardly necessary to state that
his sermons have caused a profound
sensation and have had a marked
effect upon people, especially those
who are religiously inclined.
HIis predictions of the near dis-
solution of the earth, however, will
have only the effect of increasing
the number of cranks and imposters
who play upon people's feelings to
serve their own worldly aims; and
who line their own pooketa while
pretending to be looking primarily
for front seats in kingdom come/
No ono, however, doubts that Dr.
