An extraordinary feat of courage and coolness was performed by John Ulemeiits, who was cast away In a dory only last aumnier oft the Labra dor Hanks. On July -1, when tho schooner Protector was Just beyond the straits of llelle Isle, Clements and George Jolinstcn, another of the 'crew, were out In a dory together. The fog shut down suddenly aud shut them off from their ship. They rowed about for hours trying to find her, ns there were no other craft In thnt region, and land was thirty miles away. When night came on they determined to make for thn coast beforu tho polnr current swept them aouth. They were without food and water and the ocean was tilled with Icebergs. The morning came at last with a bright sun and breeze, and they set a sail for a few hours. Hut a storm followed, and by nightfall tbe boat was half full of water and lying to a drag, tbe rain pouring down and both men balling their hardest. As the third night approached without sight of In ml Johnston Inst heart mid aban doned the oars. Clements held on un til his mato became delirious and threatened to Jump overboard. Then ClementH. being the ktronger, overpowered Johnston and tied him up III the bottom of the boat, nn operation which, from their struggles, neiirly Kwumpcd her. After dnybrenU Clem ents got out the ours again and at noon reached the shore, landing In a llttlo covin Here he found n brook that gave Johnston n refreshing draft, besides a meal of freMi root mid ber rlea. This restored the latter aud Clements cut him loose. Then they started to coast south, and In the after noon were picked up by n Newfound land schooner. Leslie's Monthly. OLD FOLKS OF MORMON CHURCH An Interesting Oatherlnar of Adher ents of llrlgtiam Touas, A recent dispatch from Salt Lake City tells of a gathering ot tho old folka of the Mormon Church which had Just been held at American 1'ork.

They buiP-a banquet whereut they devoured sixty bushels of green peua, U00 chickens, So0 pounds of ham, twenty bushels of potutoea, ten bush els of cherries, 100 large cukes, COO loaves of bread and the "trimmings" appropriate to such a meal. Soma ot those persona were members ot tho Mormon organization when Joseph Bmlth was at Its bead, and all ot them lived under and recognized tho leader ship of Hrlghnm Young, Tbo aggre gate age of tbe 818 men and women nt tills gathering was 0.1,1 n years, mid they have -18,780 descendants n show ing which ought to delight Mr. Itoose velt.

Round Disease. Rheumatism does not come and go with winter time always; in fact some suffer more during the Spring and Summer than at any other season. When the blood is charged with Uric Acid, Alkali and other irritating poisons, then the system is in the right condition for Rheumatism to develop, and an nttaclc is liable to come at any time, Winter or Summer. Rheumatism, because it attacks different parts of the body, and is sudden or slow in its action, is given various names such as acute and chronic, muscular, articular, inflammatory.mercurial and sciatic, but it is the same old acid blood that causes all.

A relation between the character of dreams and the Intensity of aleep has been shown by tbe experiments of N. Vaachlde. In profound sleep the dreams refer to latent recollections of long-pnat events nnd matters seeming ly having no connection with the pres ent; but the dreams of light slumber are Inspired by recent occurrences and excitements, nnd are sometimes con nected with what I transpiring around the sleeper. Coal workings around Chcadle, In North Staffordshire, England, have been traced back as far as the reign of Itlchard III. The early mining Is explained by local geological condi tions, as the coal-acama Instead ot being hidden under drift as In other parts of England were brought to no tice through dark atreaks turned up by the plow. A late discovery la an old level that must have been driven at least three hundred years ago for draining a coal tract After a aeries of experiments with carrier-pigeons for conveying intelli gence, tbe German naval authorities have decided to erect permanent pig eon stations on the coasts of tbe North and the Ilaltlc seas. Every warship. except torpedo-boats, leaving Kiel or Wllbelmahaven will hereafter carry a consignment of pigeons, to be released at varying distances from the land sta tions. It Is estimated that the birds have sufficient endurance to fly home over a distance ot about 186 miles from land. After so mnch has been said ot the excellence of applied science in Ger many, it Is gratifying to learn from Lieutenant Cardcn, wbo has returned from an Inspection of the Iron, steel and machinery establishments of Eu rope, conducted In the Interests of the St Louis Exposition, that even In German shops the high-grade work is done with American tools. For gen eral work, he says, German tools bave taken the place of English tools, which, ten years ago, were employed In every shop ot Importance; but for work requiring great precision and excellence, there Is to be found. In nearly all tbe leading shops, a group of American tools. In tbe new flre-nlarm system of Emlle Guarinl ot Brussels, automatic signals are sent to tbe engine house by wireless telegraphy. Tbe rise of the mercury In a thermometer acts upon a relay, and sets In motion a wheel which makes and breaks the electric circuit by a series of contacts. A series ot Impulses Is thus sent through an induction coll and the us ual transmitting apparatus. The re ceiver at the central station or engine house Includes air and earth conduc tors, coherer, battery and Morse In strument The same receiver can serve a number of transmitters In different places, and as the contacts on tbe wheel can be varied, tbe exact location of the fire can be Indicated. NICKNAMES Given Often for Abeurd Reaaone, and Generally They Itlck. "Wonderful bow nicknames stick to a person," said tbe observant man. "There were two nice little women In our village who came to call on us one evening, nnd wo offered them pop corn which the children had Just brought In from tbo kitchen. Tbey re fused, but not so emphatically as to keep us from giving them two heap ing plates of the corn. We kept re filling the plates and they kept crunch ing nil tbe evening. There was some thing so funny about it that I called them 'the popcorn ladles,' and the name has stuck to them so that tho whole vlllago knows them by It. "I once knew a man who talked Incessantly In a high-pitched voice and a bright girl dubbed him 'the chlrper.' The name was quickly passed around among the young people, and now the greater part of bis friends know him by that name. A very dignified young woman ot my acquaintance goes by the name of 'Whont to this day le cause when she waa a very little girl she used to call herself 'Mrs. Whont' when she played grown-up ladles, and the family picked It up. She simply can't shake tbe absurd name. "More than one red-balred man Is known by the name of 'pink,' and phil osophically accepts the title. I have an acquaintance who holds a respon sible position who Is known by the name of 'Dotty.' It seems that ono day a mischievous girl discovered that ho had three very prominent dimples. She promptly dubbed lilm 'Dotty Dimple,' and now ho Is known to all bis associates as 'Dotty.' Another man of my acquaintance Is always called 'Bluebeard' because be has such a very white and thin skin that It he does not shavo dully his beard shows blue through It. That name, too, came through n woman's quick wit "An old lady friend of mine Is still crlled 'I'eachy' because when she was n young girl sho had a complexion like peaches and cream. Her brother promptly dubbed her 'oeaeby,' nnd 'Peachy' sho will remain to the end of her days. In a certain household n very fenilnlno little woman Is still called 'The Boy,' because when sho was n young girl she went through a very serious. Illness which mado It nec essary to cut her hair short. Her younger sister said she was 'The Hoy ot the family, and the dainty lady Is still called by that absurd name. "An effeminate man was once called 'Viola' by ono of tho boys In the office, and now we know him by nothing else. Another one ot the boys In tbe office Is always called 'Chesty,' and although he wot angry at first he has cheerfully 1 accepted the name now. "Our bookkeeper Is always putting In tils oar when It Is not at all neces sary, and I think now he will lie known until the end of time as 'Gen eral Ilutts.' A friend of mine who Is always called 'Cheerful' doesn't know whether he Is called that because his friends believe he has a sunny dis position or because they consider him a cheerful Idiot nut, at any raie. ne can't shake the name."

Eucceeefnl Kzperfmcnte Made by the OoTernment on Florida Coaet- Not content with utilizing alt the available resources In the United States for the purpose of supplying the needs of tbe people ot tbls country, uncle Sam has Invaded the sea, aaya the Philadelphia Ledger. The gov ernment has gone In for sponge culture. Tho supply of sponges baa never equaled the demand, and we have been Importing most of those required for tho domestic trade. According to the cntbual tic trade. According to the enthusi asts of the United States Klsh Com mhvilon, the American Invasion of Eu rope soon will add sponges to Its list of commodities. Successful experiments have been conducted, and the actual work of planting sponges off the coast of Flori da Is being done under the supervision of Captain James A. Smith, ot the Ktsbhawk. The sponges uied in the propagation are of the sheepsbead va riety, the most valuable In the world, and which Oil every commercial re quirement Dr. II. F. Moore, assistant Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries, devised the method of planting. The sponges are cut Into small pieces from one to two Inches In di ameter. These small fragments of the living sponge, which are dark In color, the pores filled with fishy matter, are firmly fastened to pieces of coral, rock or terra cotta brick and dropped over board. Thin aluminum wire Is used for fastening them to the objects. Tbe use of the aluminum wire Is tbe solu tion of tbe difficulty which confronted the experimenters. The pieces ot sponge have one outer skin Intact, with the outer edges raw. The latter, bow ever, quickly heal. The aluminum wire will, of course, pierce the sponge and form a small bore, or hole, through them. Tbe wire corrodes; but this Is aa advantage, for It gradually wears away, leaving the sponge free of any foreign substance. Most ot tbe difficulties attending the culture have been met In attempting to find something to bind the sponges to tbe rocks which would last long enough for the growth to attach Itself naturally to the new bed. Tbe alumi num wire does this. Wood, string, cop per and Iron wire and various other substances were attacked by the salt water and animal life and rendered useless. Sponges are being planted at Bis- cayne bay, Anclote Keys and Key West An effort will be made to put the new Industry on Its feet so that private capital will become Interested In carrying It on. There la every rea son to believe that the venture will be successful and that In a short time all the sponges needed In the United States will be raised In Florida wa ters. HABITS OF COWBIRD. It Associate with the Animate in Or der to Ftud Inaect. The cowblrd Is black and a little smaller than the red-winged blackbird. There are three species, two of which tbe common and red-eyed migrate to our Northern States and are found as sociated together. The male of the common cowblrd has a bead and neck of deep wood-brown, while the red eyed Is whollf black and very lus trous. Tbe females are smaller than the males and duller In color, although the red-eyed female Is quite black. Tho bird receives Its name from Its association with cows, beside which It feeds, snatching up the Insects that are disturbed by their heavy tread. About halt a dozen usually attend a single animal or a bunch of cattle, part of which' may be of one species and part of the other. Indeed, the two associate together as peacefully as though they were of the same spe cies. The most serious Indictment against the cowblrd Is that It builds no nests and does not rear Its own family. Its eggs are laid In tbe nests of green lets, warblers, finches and other blackbirds, mo'st ot which are smaller than itself, Of the first fire red-wings' nests examined In 1902, four contained the eggs of the cowblrd. The summer warbler was one day found burying the detestable egg In the bottom of her nest together with one of her own. Two orchard orioles' nests, not fifty feet apart each contained the egg of tbe parasite, probably of the same breed. Country Life In America. The I'earl of Peacemakers. Before the Spanlsh-Anierlcau war there were numerous conferences be tween tbo leaders of the Senate and House in Washington, usually held at tho residence ot some cabinet mem ber.
