QUICK WORK THAT SAVED MEN FROM DROWNING. Thrilling Incidents Showing the Dangers of a Life on the Ocean Wave. . • • Escapes from drowning at sea are not uncommon from the. nature -o lift, but the circumstances attending them differ • materially and therein lies the interest of each narrative. I will tell of three instances, writes B. G. F. Can- dage in the Boston Globe. Tho first oc- curred in the Atlantic, east of the -Grand- Banks, Grand Banks, in the month of February, while on the passage from- London to New York. The ship was running with square yards before' an eastern gale, making 12 knots under double -reefed topsails. The•sea was rough, the ship rotted heavily, and I, as officer of the deck that ,afternoon, ordered the jib' to b' loosed and set to steady her from rclling. • • • I'sent one of the sailors out to loose the sail and stood just abaft the break of the forecastle watching him. He cast off the gasket and -villain the act o1 mak- ing it up,' when by a heavy roll of the ship to starboard, the sail slipped from the boom. struck hint and knocked him. from the footropo overboard! I saw him fail, heard the cry of "Man overboard t" and ran as swiftly as possible aft fair the taffrail. • • Upon each quarter- were -kept wheel relieving tackles, and my thought was that ,LN could reach one of those tackle falls before the ship'salled past the man 1 might thrown it -to him AND D PERHAPS SAVE HIM. There were fotr-steps of a ladder to ascend•in order to reach the poopdeck. and, before I could ascehd them and reach the tackles the man at the wheel, With the same .thought, left his station, took up to tackle, fall and-Iuckily threw 't over the man's head and shoulders just as the ship -was passing him. He seized it with both hands and with his teeth and hegu •on for his lite. At that instant 1 reached- the scene, arid. to- geihei • the helmsman -.and I pulled • the sailor out of the water. - The_ rest of the watch was scion on hand, a bowline was slipped under the man's arms; he was rutted on deck and was saved. During that -time the ship had kept en her course with no .ono. at the wheel. - - - - • The noise and bustle on deek_brought up the captain and the pasengers from the . cabin b ascertain what it meant,• and they were astonished -whey told that a sailor: had fallen overboard from the jiteboom aid_ had been r-escued in .the manner here described. The'sailor was nervous but uninjured; the captain gave him a glees of brandy; he went forward and, changed his clothes and- came back on deck acid stood -the. rest of his watch. It was a close call and almost a miraculous rescue, • The-seeand occurrence took place in the autumn of the- same year es the flrst, in the Pa and headed well up .to the sea, and pitched bows under, carrying away jib - boom, foretopgallant mast, started stem, sprung bowsprit and started bowchocks and topgallant forecastle deck. Luckily the disaster happened after daylight in the morning, and all hands set to work to clear away the wreckage. The jibboom, with a tangled mass of rigging and sails, was under the lee bow with officers and -crew trying to clear wherries a sudden lurch and pitch of the ship, the first mate was tossed over- board. I was near at hand with a part of the foretopgali,ant, clewline in -my which was thrown to him ; he caught it .and was.hauled•in on deck and his life was saved. The water was icy cold and it was snowing at the time; he had on heavy clothing, and in all. probability he would have- been drowned had not the rope held in my • hand been thrown to him. He was much frightened, but not; otherwise injured, and at Liverpool he left the ship: and took passage home by steamer. The fright he received, in- my opinion. caused -him -to do so.

By that time the bey was .a mile., to the windward, swimming and floating lightly on the water, as could ,be seen with the spyglass -from the, poop. Upon the ship's main hatch a light boat was stowed bottom• up, which • in 'a• few moments was hilted over • the side :and lowered to the water, into which -two sailors and the writer descended and pulled away to the rescue. The boy had seen that the ship had hove aback, was a good swimmer and kept •up his courage. We could see him when he and the boat rose upon waves, and we were able to make our way directly to the place where he was. We rowed up to the spot, pulled him into our ,boat, still, in fresh condition, and •started back for the ship. On the way I jokingly said to him, "You young lutbee, what were you .overboard here far?" • He answered meekly and serious- ly, as though he had committed. a .crime against the discipline of the ship, "I Couldn't help it, sir."

Washington, Colorado :and soine:._olher Slates. in Canada irrigation is success- fully .practised -In the fertile valleys of British Columbia, and over a large area tri -Southern Alberta, where we have' the greatest irrigation proposition ct modern times, • - The peculiar, feature of our. Canadian irrigation operations is that the sun fur- nishes the water. The supply is drawn from the- main range of the Rocky' Mountains. - As the season advances, the.. snow .melts higher and higher up the mountains, and thus a oonstant, un- failing.•supply of water is furnished• to the rivers which fill ' the- irrigation ditches during the spring and summer seasons, at the very time moisture is needed for the crops. Owing to the in- exhaustlibin . su ote,.om from the mountainspply itf is waunnreccessarying to build storage drains or reservoirs. The, farmer en irrigated land is thus as- sured that in the very dryest season'he wilt have all the water he .cares to use', and as the ground is. rich and the cli- mate favorable he has no -anxiety about his crops. ' Irrigation is moat 'favorable to inten- sive farming operations—getting the maximum. of crops from the mina -hum: of acreage. • Although large irrigated farms, from a quarter section upwards, are now the order of the day, the ten- dency will doubtless be towards more limited holdings. As land becomes more valuable farmers - will -sell cif part of their holdings at good' profits - and confine their efforts on a more 'n- tensifted scale to smaller acreage. Such, at ahy rate, has been the history of ir- rigated fanning in the United States. where there, have sprung up .closely set- tled and prosperous • dairying, fruit - growing and mixed farming communi- ties. These have become the-netui•aI centres for cheese. butter And condensed milk factories, beet sugar factories and other kindred industries, which natur- ally locate where the population is densest and the. productive, capacity of the land the greatest. - •_ • . , - Mrs s Tinnemonnay ; "Your new srul- dle-horse seems to be a lively animal."

I do not now propose to express myself in s particular sense in relation to public goeetiotts of the day, bat shall gladly avail myself of all imitable opportunities for -do Tuft so later, when I shall hope to meet my fellow electors face to face for that very pnrpoee.- _ Meantime, I may, perhaps, be permitted to_offer a. word or two in reference to the conduct of the election.

Permit me by way of emphasis in this cobneetion to say, that I desire an absolute. ly clean electi n and I shall not be in any sense of the term a consenting party to elec tioneering practices which will not bear the closest scrutiny in the broad -light of day: In conclusion, I wish to empbesize my re spect for Sir Wilfred Laurier, whose name - I regard as the synonym for ell that is noblest in -Canadian Citizenship and in the Government of Canada, and to say that, whet I sin in general accord with the'ad ministration, I yet reserve, to.. myself, it °bonen by the people to be their repreeenta tive, the right to consider questions of pub iio policy on their merits and to actin re- lation thereto . in that spirit of indepen dente, which in my opinion, should always oharacterize the representative . of a free people. Together let' as labor to the beat of oar ability to deserve success in the contest whenever it may Dome, and we shall cheer fully abide the verdict of the free and inch pendent electors whatever that verdict may _chance to be. Should issue spell the final spell success, I shall endeavor to serve the people- in • snch away as to make it possible later to give an account of my stewardehip with joy and not with grief bat should the issue spell defeat, I moors you borne bolds co terrors for me.

I took about two steps and was then. hemmed in by • •.the ruin. Libbie ran to me and we. -placed our arms around one another, and the debris seemed to surround us in a 'minute.-.

It is only a little over nine years ago since the collapse of a platform at Inc city hall killed 23 people and injured over one hundred others. A meeting in celebration of a municipal election was -in-progress, without the slightest warning; the platform and the floor •..f the hall gave way,. precipitating about 13) persons to the .floor .below. Near the platforrn_ stood a, large.: Iron sate, which; going dawn with the floor, adz ded its terrible crushing weight . to the ti lung timbers; and pinned fast the un- fertunate victims, who might otherwise have had a chance of escaping. The cave-in occurred immediately. over . the City Engineer's office, and more than 203 people were precipitated into the funnel -shaped death trap. with the safe and a heavy steam toll falling on top of them. Groans from the dying and arcading cries from the injured, ming- led in an appalling and never to be -for- ge tten chorus. Numerous thrilling es-. canes. were recorded. _ • , .

A despatch from Salem.

A special train of eleven coaches brit Ionia with .between 800 and 1,600 of the employes of the Pere Marquette -for the annual excursion to Detroit.- and about half -way between here and Plymouth the special train 'had a heed -on collision with a west -bound freight 'train. •The passenger trnin • had been given the• rightof-waw; but. because of some blunder on the part of the crew of the frelg2ht train it kept on instead of- wait- ing at Plymouth, which is the despatch- ing headquarters for this division, to let passenger Pass.' • The passenger train wns,just rounding the curve at \\Washbourne Crossing, when. it -sighted the freight train. Both engineers apparently saw their -danger at the sane moment, shut off steam and applied the brakes. With the passen- ger train travelling. at, 45. miles an hour tl a crash was terrific. Above it rose the screams of panic- stricken pasengers, who had been pitched into the middle of the cars t nearly all of them more'or less- injured 'and crazed with fright. There was a stampede, the t'err'or-stricken people fighting to get out of the doors and win- dows, while from the pile of wreckage came the cries of those who. were pin- ned down . by the weight, Bufferin agonies train broken bones and man- gled flesh and with no hope of beingl •extricated until. a wrecking train azai rived from Detroit. • - The fear that the pile of wreckage, to which many rcrsons both dead and alive were buried might catch fire, nerved the survivors to the work' of rescue, a work in which they were as- sisted by the farmers in the vicinity.

And so he thought, will Ger- vase's, but theirs will be the curse of a crooked nature. Gervase Rickman was then actually walking along the gray -green ridge of down which rose behind the Manor against the pale April sky. Business had called hint unexpectedly to Meding- ton, which he still represented, and. leaving his carriage in 'the • high -road, with instructions to wait at •tire Travel- er's Rest, he descended the -slope and walked over the springy turf, looking down upon Arden and its familiar lields and trees. and upon the 'very garden where Alice and Sibyl were making cowslip -balls,, for the baby Annesley. The changeable April day clouded over as he walked and- gazed; the blush of vivid green. died from the .frees and copses: the plain darkened and the sha- dow's in the:hill-sides deepened. The song -birds Were. silent; the melan- deity wail of a plover drew his atten- tion to a single bird, fluttering as il wounded before him. 'and trying in its simple, pathetic cunning to draw his attention away from the nest which that very cry betrayed, On. the bleak . March day .when he' waited on that down outside the Tra- veller's Rest for Aske, he had thought much of the omnipotence ot, human will. anis, purposed to :mould •mankind to his own ends. Then he was an obscure country lawyer, nursing an unsus- peeled ambition in the depthe of his heart. Now his name was in every one's mouth: he had climbed more than. ono step toward the heigta he intended to scale. The minister whose patronage haii'_so early been his was now he office. He had approved himself to his party as a .useful and almost indispensable In- strument, par'ticutarly by ;the services tie had rendered in the last general elec- tion which-... restored the Liberals to power. His. financial skill was beginning to be • recognized; hisname had weight tr. ltnancal society, which he affected. Everything 'he touched, turned to gold. By his =Triage with Lady Charlotte he was oonnettEd •with .half the peerage - and was son-in-law to a minister. Lady Charlotte, • it is true, Was: _neither so •' young as she • had been, nor ho beautiful as, she. might have been, nor was she well downed. the Was known 1a have. a tongue and Suspected o! ha'v- ing, a temper; but she was a woman who knew the world both of politics and of society, and was the most useful wife a man in his position could possibly have. • His ambition, great as it - was, was being more rapidly gratified than even he had expected. He had gained the world, and lost his soul. • • But to -day he no longer believed in the omnipotence of will and energy. He looked down upon the roofs of Arden and thought of the .severe check his will had received there; he thought, too, of the unexpectedly ,favorable conjunction o: affairs for him ,in other respects, and acknowledged another power, which he called destiny. What would the first Napoleon • have done, he mused, in peaceful - England • at this end of the nineteenth century ? •If he had missed th; Crimea and the Mutiny, he might have risen to be a half -pay officer ; had he been • in time for those crises, he might have 'been reckoned .;in excellent general, nothing more. Beyond the unseen sea hind . the hills • rising before- Ricket s eyes lay ti country occupied by a side arm whet torn 'by revolution. Why had not des- tiny placed hint there, •where the hour was come, but not the man to rule it? A'i eager fancy could alrryost hear the far-off thunder of the war fitfully raging beyond that little strip of sea, over whose quiet waters he actually heard the: boom of English guns, fired only in peaceful practice, not at masses of living men. There, in the world's beautiful pleasure city, an agony beyond all the agonies of war was slowly wearing iteelf tui through these pleasant spring Months. an agony then hidden 'within the walls of Paris beleagured bqher• •own children. and never fully to be )shown. Gervase Rickman gave a 'pass- ing thought to that tragedy and,foresaw' the flames and indiscriminate slai,ghter' Li which it was before long to terminate, when the Seine literally rah with French 1 b . �od.shed b • Fr y encu !lands, the tragedy or on unbridled mob swayed fitfully by one or two fanatics in possession of a j;reat city, and. he wondered at the weakness of those who ought to have ruled. ' Though he stili believed more in men thnn. in institutions, and scorned weak- neas above everything. he did not believe' as he had done that day by the Travel- ler's Rest ; his ambition had now risen from the vogue of golden visions into the tlearness of reality, and he could see how low was the highest'stunmit with- in his reach. Yet it was the sole object of his lite, he cared for nothing else. The human side of his character was paralyzed on the day when he lost Alice. It was not only that all his life was cut oft from all tender feelings and sundered from the purer influences o hers in losing her he had to a certain extent lost Sibyl, and drifted away from those earlier and stronger ties which begin with life itself. Sibyl, the second good genius of his Life, was never again on the old terms with him. Whenever they met there was an invisible, impassable barrier between them ; perhaps she knew all and despised him, as, he knew, Alice despised him- . All his life long, through wealth and power and gratified ambition, he was to bear about the heavy pain of having lost not Alice only, but her respect, of hav- ing won not „her love but her bitter scorn. He looked down upon the Manor, where she was so frequent a guest .that he never went there himself without a previous intimation, lest hey should meet, as it was tacitly under - shod they could not, and•he yearned for th; old days to live again, thee he might act differently. Since lie was fated not to win her heart, which he saw clearly now was beyond human -Volition, he might still have been able to look in her face and see the old tender, friendly leek. in her eyes ; and yet had he re- mained true to his better self, he could never have succeeded as he was to suc- ceed when freed from scruples and rid of the importunities of conscience. He would have lost the world and saved has soul alive. ' For some moments the old yearning returned with Ruch force at the sight of the pleasant paths in which they had wandered together, .that he thought he would have been content. to remain all his life in that quiet spot. an obscure country lawyer, with Alice by his side, with his old� fattier to care for and Sibyl to take pride in. • Not teat he did net now take great 'pride in Sihyi and her increasing . literary reputation, _ but it would have been different if the'dark shadow had not come between them. But Lady Charlotte, who had been his wife four months, did not like Arden. Mr. Rickman. bared her, she was •afraiet of Sibyl, and looked down upon, them a't; he knew that she would rut them further asunder and himself further and ever further from hie nobler, nature.

Now his -face was towards Gledesworth, which lay unseen behind the down, and he gave one jea- lous passionate thought to the life Alice Was living there with •Feiw'ard Annesleyt who- was now . no more shunned or shadowed by the reproach. of an un- proved . accusation,. and yet another. thought to _the strange death' in life ief Paul Annesley. ' And, just then the' coast giros biximed over the peaceful waters again. recall ing his thoughts to the tragedy beyond the sea. The group in the garden be- low heard the sante low• thunder,. and. Sibyl made sonie jesting allusion to the Annesley gun, which had just been tri- umphantly`` tested at Shoeburyness; and Edward thought of • the 'deadly earnest with which French cannon were being tared on the other side of that sunny. sea, - . They did. not know that; just then, under the walls of Paris, while some Wren wounded after a ni pulse were ac- ing placed in an anibnlance, a shot from the fort behind them struck a friar who was in the act of lifting the lase man. and killed him on the spot. The wounded man. groaned when his living support gave' way, but other hands • raised hire, and the ambulance moved away from the dangerous spot, leaving the dead man behind -in tlieir haste. He was one of•those Dominicans, who, from the first outbreak of the war. had been in the field with. the French armies. 'In disengaging' the slain 'friar, from the man he was lifting, they had turned him so that he lay -face upwards, lis arms outstretched as in: the .restful slumber of•youth, his white dress stain- ed crimson over the breast, his eyes closed tie the spring sunshine, his scar- red face wearing the sweet And peaceful senile so often seen in the soldier killed in battle, Thus Paul Annesley's troubled soul passed heroically to its rest. Though they could not know what was happening beyond the sea, n vague sadness in keeping with the sudden overclouding of the spring day filled the hearts ok' those to Whom' the slain man had been denr, n sndness Which passed like the cloud itself. • • Even Gervase Hickman felt the pass- ing gloom,' and shaking off the gentler memories of his lire, and walking quickly over the sunny turf where Ilio scattered sheep were feeding, he reached too sign -post beneath which he was standing when Edward Annesley carne singing by years ago. There his car- dap was waiting by the Traveller's hee Rest, and he sprung into It and was quickly whirled out of sight.. The little eroup at Arden Manor were tranquilly sitting beneath the apple - trees. Mr. Rickman, forgetful of Borns and antiquities; was patiently weaving ins fee-litfle-Pani who called him grandfather, and thortr be loved more than the little Rickman's who came after him ; Alice was relating the family news -the expected visit of her mother-in-law• and Harriet to Gledes- worth, the probability that Major Mc- Ilvray and Eleanor would follow them ; Wilfrid's chances of promotion .and his Intention to marry ; • the appointment of Jack, the youngest Annesley, to a ship, and the recent visit they had paid to Mrs. Walter Annesley, who was grow- ing weaker day by day ;• the probability of Edward's retiring -from active service. The shadows lengthened and the An nesleys went back to their pleasant home. Sibyl returned to the wedding - party, led the dancing, and listened to the singing, and saw the bride and bridegroom start for their new home at the fatting of the dusk. . When she was sitting by the hearth with her father that night she mused on. the different ways in which human lives are ordered. As days of 'brilliant sun- shine and blue skies are rare in Eng- land, so are lives of full and unclouded happiness in oris world ; but there are many sweet neutral -tinted days full of peace, in which plants grow aiid birds sing. and the clouds break . away into soft glory at sunset. Sibyl's life was like one of these serene days; it was happy and by no means unfruitful. THE END:' ----dam 'DONALD."

A brigade trooper hardly dared crass the square if Donald was in sight. At last he be- canrrta so ill-tempered it was decided to turas him loose in a park: His lordship who owned the, state promised to look well after Donald's comfort, Twenty-two years later the lieutenant= colonel of Donald's old regiment return- ed to Glasgow, and one of the first things he did was to inquire• after the company's deer. The story. which was told him was a melancholy one. 'From the day .he was set free in the park- he declined to have anything to do with man or beast.
