ROSE'S FACE.
Old Rose Is black nnd wrinkled and bowed.
And her woolly bead la gray;
Hut to baby Ned she la U tint's fftlr,
And a boon companion at play.
A nurse, playfeUow and frltnd Vila's bswo,
Through all orbit four short years,
lifts joined in but frolics wltb keen delffcht.
And sorrowed with him In tsars.
Last ulgbt, at the baby's bedtime bonr.
As be sat on his mother's knee.
He turned to look at her smiling face,
A face that was fair to eg;:
And bo said, as lie iraseti with enmptnred
look,
(Wbllo his arms did her noek Inclose)
"You're the prettiest fare that ever I saw,
'C'eptln that of dear old nose."
Mis. J. T. Oreenlvaf In Good Housekeeping.
HE DIED LUCE A MAN.
Tho your 1831 la luemornUe for the
number of wrecks which took jilaco dur
ing its course among Atlantic ateuiners.
The loas of no fewer than fire large ves-1
sola had already been chronicled vhen,
on the 8d day of October, newa reached
New York that the Arctic, of tho Col
lins line of Liverpool stentnera, had
gone down nndcr circuniatancea of pe
culiar interest nnd horror.
She wns 0110 of the iineat vesacli of
her time She was a aide wheeler, had
cost $700,0(10. nnd vnw Insured for $1100,
000. On WutlnesJuy, Sept. 27, 1851, she wits
on her return trip to New York with
220 passengers (exclusive of children),
mostly homeward bound tourists; n
crew of 175, n rnlnulile cargo and n
heavy mail, and had gotten within sixty
Ave miles of Capo Race, tho southeastern
extremity of Newfoundland, when, ex
actly at noon, while steaming through
a denso fog, sho was struck by tho
propeller Vesta, bound frnmit. Peters
to Grauvillo.
Although tho Arctic had two men in
the lookout at tho timo of tho accident,
tho fog was so thick that tho Vesta was
not sighted until within a minuto of the
time of the collision.
Tho Arctic was making twelve miles
an hour and the Vestn eight, and they
struck head 011. Tho stern of tho Vesta
struck about twelve or fifteen feet abaft
tho stern of tho Arctic. At the moment
of collision the Arctic was on tho crest
of a large wave or swell, wbllo the
Vesta was in the corresponding trough,
and tho bow of the Arctio being ele
vated tho Vostn struck her below tho
water lino. Tho anchor of tho Vestn
was driven through tho timbers of the
Arctic and broken, and part of -it was
loft sticking in tho orifice. The Arctio
was pierced in threo places, two of tho
breaks being below tho water lino, Tho
Vesta had about ten feet of her bow
literally stovo in and crushed off, and
when Captain Luce, of tho Arctio, hur
ried on deck and saw tho Vesta ho
thought she must immediately go down.
Ho dispatched his first mate, Mr.
Qomloy, nnd a boat's crow to tho Vesta
to offer assistance, and turned his own
vessel in tho direction the Vesta had
taken, and, reaching her vicinity, ho
steamed twico around her.
IIo found to his snrpriso that no ns
sistanco was needed. Tho Vesta,
though in appearance n nondescript
craft, was provided with a bulkhead,
which, ro-enforced by 150 mattresses,
plalliasses nnd other effects of tho crew,
kept out tho water sufficiently (especially
after tho foremast had been cut away)
to keep tho vessel aUont until sho reach
ed port with tho 149 persons who still
remained nboard her.
Soon after tho collision Captain Du
chesne, of tho Vesta, dispatched n boat
with a crew of ten men to tho Arctic to
offor assistance, but in attempting to
board tho Arctic their lmt was cai
sized and all but ono of its crowweie
lost, either by being struck by the wheel
of tuo Arctio or by drowning, or both.
Tho ninglo survivor won sqved by the
crew of the Arctic. Mate Gomley, of
tho Arctic, lost his way in tho fog nnd
did not get back trims' ship, but cventn
ally reached snore.
It was not until shortly after the Arc
tic had resumed her homeward conno
that tho gravity of her Injuries was dis
covered. Slio was found to bo taking
water rapidly, and efforts were made to
stop the break in her hull by pasting
sails under her and by thrusting mat'
tresses and pillows into the holes, Tho
anchor chains wero thrown overlmrd
to lighten her bow. but the fragment of
tho Vesta's anchor was wedged in tho
timbers so firmly that it was imiKMnihlo
to dislodge it or to get tho sails clore
enough to her to keep out tho water.
The sorioubuees of the situation now
became apparent to Captain Luce. The
Vesta was out of sight lu tho fog and
n considerable distance away, beyond
hearing ot tho signal guns. IIo headed
directly for Cape ltace, some forty-live
to sixty miles awny. For half an hour
good wpeed was mado, but the lower
tires were then quenched by the rising
water, although flie steam handpumiis
wero both m work. In another half
hour the upper fires ware out, nnd then
the great ship was a helpless wreck.
It seems strange as we look lutck
at the occurrences of this sad day that
the outcome was so appalling. lint nu
ill fata seemed to liang over the vessel.
When Captain Duchesne, of the Vesta,
saw the Arctic steam twice around nun
he had no idea she was seriously hurt.
and afterward reported that ho coul
have accommodated all her passengers
and crew had he found out that they
needed assistance. lie thought when
she parted from him that sho had gone
straight to New lurk.
As soon as Cnpuun Luce fouud tliut
the Arctic must sink ho took measures
to save his passengers. Even thou, hud
good order and discipline prevailed, all
could easily liave been saved. The
Arctic floated for fire and a quarter
hours after the collision (although no
body knew but that she might go down
at any moment). The sea was smooth
and so remained ror twenty-tour Hours
and boats and rafts could easily liav
gotten to land.

mate left. Four of tlieae wero taken by
the engineers, sailors, a few MMseager
and tlx remaining officers, eioept Cap
tain i.uee ana nurd Mate i'rancls Do
rian. The second mate, with two boats
and forty-five naaswugen, readied shore.
Captain Luce, Third Mate Dorian And
George II. Hums, messenger of the
Adam Express company, started the
construction and ju-ovudoniug of a large
raft, while some of the passengers and
those of the crew who remained worked
at the pump and fired signal guns.
The boat had been lowered to assist in
building the raft, and Captain Lnce and
oum of the male passengers were help
ing keen the crowd hack when a panic
seised tuoea on deck and they rushed
over the bulwarks onto the raft, at the
same tune almost sinking the boat. In
this emergency Dorlau cut the boat
loose, and he and those assisting him
hurried it away from the raft. The
noble uutu behaved throughout with
great preseuee of mind and labored with
heroio energy. When the uanio started
he cried: "For God's sake, captain, clear
tuo raft so that w e can work! I won t

For year It ha been generally known
. -.....,
among lawyers that all sorts of desper-
ale nud theatrical devices uro constantly
resorted to in order to save the lives of
noonsed persons. Bnt Mr. Wcllman
was the first prosecutor to make the
t'hnrgo in open court and quote nn in
stance to fortify bis allegation.
Is-tho practice right or wronit?
Peihaps tho most moving part nf
Lawyer William F. Howe's elegant sum
ming up on behalf of Annie Witldeu
was where he liesonght the Jurymen to
consider her yonth. her lieauty mid her
helplessness.
When Francis L. Wellman, assistant
district attorney, began his summing up
for tho prosecution, lie urged the Jurors
not to bo moved by his adversary's
emotional appeals. He called Mr. Howe
an actor. Ho said:
"If you had seen him, us 1 hnvo, go
behind a woman defendant nnd pinch
her to make iter scream nud so arouso
sympathy, yon would not bo so much in
fluenced by his theatrical display."
"Whom did Mr. Howo pinch?" I asked
Mr. Wcllman.
"Ella Nelson," was his prompt leply.
"You recall that sho had shot her lover
dead because ho wns packing his trunk
and preparing to leavo her. She was on
trial for her life. Mr. Howe got her nc
quitted. "When ho hud got to that part of his
summing up whero ho called upon tho
jury to 'look nt her,' Ella wns sitting be
hind a table, her f aco toward tho jury,
but resting in her hautRSlie had been
weeping for somo minutes, but now sho
was composed.
" 'Look at that face!" pleaded Mr,
Howo In impassioned tones, IIo strode
rapidly behind her. Again ho cried,
'Look nt that face!' and ns ho did so ho
seized Ella's soft wrists in his strong
hand and wrenched her arms apart.
The woman screamed with pain and
terror.
"That scream was enough to freeze
tho blood of anybody who heard it. 1
cannot help thinking Hint it had much
to do with tho verdict.
1 do not say that it is wrong for
counsel to employ theatrical methods in
defending their clients. I think it is
part of tho duty of the prosecuting officer
to cxposo this Eort of thing to the jury.

and so burn the storo and cam Becker u 1

quenched tho flames and so saved the
lives of soventy-slx men, women nnd
children who wero sleeping in tho tene
ments abovo the store.
"When Mr. House summed up ho
was in a quandary, Becker couldn't
understand ono word in English, there-
foro how could tiio poor dovil weep at
tho proper moment? That little diffi
culty was sol veil ull right. Becker rested
his faco in his hands and peeped through
bis interlaced iingesa at his eloquent do

Think, gentlflnan,' said Mr, House,
if you send this wretchod man to prison
you will punish those innocent littlo
ones.' At that Instant Mr. House drop

Wow I came a snnoi; irom uecker.
It began like the scream of a catamount.
It died away 111 n long drawn wall nud
choking sobs. Becker's tears wero like
a shower. Mrs. Becker's and tho little
Beckers' tears were a cloudburst. Human
naturo couldn't stand It. Juror No, 3
was a nlco old fellow, retiied from busi
ness and living at homo surrounded by
sons and daughters and chubby grand
children. He broke down at tho second
drop of Fred House's handkerchief. At
tho third drop or tne cambric tno juror s
tears gushed out beyond the railing.
Answering sniffles and gasps came from
two other jurors.
It seems hard to beliove, but it is n
matter of record that in tho face of tho
clear ovidonce against Becker the jury
stood threo for acquittal and nine for
conviction. The tears aud howls nud
tho littlo Bockeia saved tho guilty mau.
And in proof of his guilt let me add that
Becker was leleased under f tfiw ban,

It was hard on Captain Silver for all
of tho floating palaces to pass ont of the
river forever, but ho had another mis
fortune. Ho had a brother. How he
loved him! They wero inseparable. One
day they were standing near the rail of
a big boat jnst as she was pushing off.
Tho brother leaned forwnrd a bit, tho
rail broke, nnd beforo Captain Dave
oould catch litin the man had fallen into
tho water. The boat swung around at
that instant nud poor Silver was dragged
under tho wheel.
"It's Joe!" gasped Captain Dave. That
was nil he said. He had seen his broth

fell into a partial faint. That was one

Auroras l'orty Miles Utfli.
Tho scientists of the Royal Danish
academy havo mado publio tho results
of somo interesting experiments, which
wero conducted for the solo purpose of
ascertaining tho exact, or at any rate
tho approximate, height ot the aurora
borealis. At Godthaab M. Adam Paul
sen, with two theodolites situated only
four miles apart, found that the height
of different auroral displays varied from
one to forty miles! Near Capo Fare
well, with a baso lino of three-fourths
of a mllo in length, tho best calcula
tions obtainable placed different aurora
at from ono to ten miles in height; at
Spitzbergeu it was shown that they
rango from a height of one-third of a
milo to eighteen miles.
In this case It will not proro uninter

perimenters In this line. Flogel esti
mated tho height of tho various aurora)
observed by him at from 00 to 310 miles
abovo tho earth: Rcimann found that
ono observed by him was at least COO
miles high, and Nordenskjold's earlier
deductions gavo such phenomena an ar
craga height of 125 miles. Then Leem
stromo camo forward with the announce
ment that ho had taken notes nnd ob

was not separated from tho earth by
moro than 1,000 feet, whilo Ilildebrand-
son concurred to the extent of declaring
that many of tho displays wero below
