LOST Of ISLE fiOTlL.
Thirty-eera Pespli Vrzwtei fcy ft
Wreck on Lake Sspericr.
Winnipeg, Man- Kot. 9. Tbe
Pteamt-hip Alfroma, belonging to the
Canadian Pacific Iiailroad Company,
was wrecked in a lerri6c gale on
Thunder Bay, Lkte Superior, on
Saturday night, and thirty-wren
live were lost. She had left 0reo
.Sound on Thursday,and waa bound
lo Point Arthur wnen the dsaster
xurred. The firrt knowledge of
tiie calamity wan received when the
cteamer Atbalasca,of the aar.ie line,
reached Port Arthur late this even
ing with the crew of the Algoma,
numbering thirteen, and two paa
;tigers,who were the only ones sav
ed. The Athabasca, which left Owen
.Sound two days after the Algoma,
arae upon the wreck at Iele Royal,
Thunder Bay, and found the crewi
and two passengers in a perishing
condition on the island. The wreck
had been dashed by the furious,
waves against the rocks and finally
beaten against the ehore of the is
land. Tue crew and two passen
gers saved themselves by taking to
a life boat and battling with the
waves until the 6hore was reached.
Tbe boat was capsized several times
bv waves but righted again, while
the men clung desperately to its
tides. When they reached land
they wre almoct dead from expos
ure and exhaustion. The storm con
tinued to rage furiously all night
long, and the rescued people re
mained on the beech watching the
wreck beat against the rockbound
island, and seeing the dead bodies

II OVF.KISG THE vnEK.
The Athabasca came along at
noon to-day, and, as tbe channel is
narrow, could not avoid seeing the
wre k and distress signal of those on
the island. A boat wan sent ashore
and brought the rescued to the Ath
nbaca, which set sail ior Port Ar
thur, where she arrived at 7 o'clock
this evening. There u intense ex

STOItlES OF M'RVIVORS.
One of the survivors tells the fol
lowing story :
The steamer left Owen Sound
Thursday afternoon with thirty
eight passengers, principally Can
adians but there were some few
Americans. All went well during
ttie early part of the voyage, and
the vessel passed ud St Mary's
Kiver to Sault Ste. Marie, where
she coaled. It was Friday about
noon when she passed tbe latter
place and soon after steamed out
into Like Superior. The weath
er was calm, but as the evening ad
vanced signs of storm were brewing.
When spoken to by passengers Cap
tain Moore shook bis head ominous
ly and all realized that a storm of
unusual severity was brewing, but
the Algoma held her course toward
Port Arthur, while the storm in
creased in fury and caused the great
waves to pound the vessel, which
was tossed about II Ice a feather. As
the night wore on the 6torm seemed,
if possible to increas in violence.
Snow and sleet descended and the
elements appeared in their angriest
mood. Some passengers retired to
their berths, but the majority, who
were suffering from nausea, kept
watch.
At the time when day should un
W ordinary circumstances break,
darkness continued, for the snow
storm had not abated and the atmos
phere was lerriblv thick. The steam
er still held on her way, and, as fair
progress bad been made, notwitu
standing the severity of the storm, it
was thought that the Isle Koyal,
which is a short distance outside of
Thunder Bay, and about forty live
milt from Port Arthur, must be
near at hand. Tbe island is long,
but comparatively narrow and rocky,
and its vicinity is treacherous,
owing to the large number of reefs
iHout it. The channel by which
the bay is entered runs close to the
inland, and Captain Moora realized
the necessity of progressing with the
utmost care. Fog horns were blown
and signals of distress sounded, and
the speed of the boat was reduced,
but as the storm continued to rage
it was impossible to determine ab
solutelv what course the boat was
pursuing.
Suddenly a great crash was heard,
and the vessel rebouoded and quiv
ered like an aspen leaf. "Good
God!" paid the Captain, "she's
struck; our doom has come." Ten
seconds later all waa the wildest
confusion and alarm. Those who
were on deck screamed with fear,
while the shrieks of the women
were terrible to listen to, Crash,
crash, and the stout vessel pounded
the rocks. The cracking of the tim
bers and the swaying of the vessel
warned all that death in a terrible
form was upon them.
The relentless wind seemed to
scream its satisfaction, while the
enow and sleet drove against the half
clad passengers. " It's no use to
d '"son be the scene," said one inform
ant Nothing worse ever ccurred
on earth."
In their madness, when the wares
were washing tbe deck, a number
threw themselves into tbe foaming
oiuows. inhere, when a great wave
would pass off tbe deck, which was
e waving from Fide to side, were swept
into the een like a feather. A few
bung on to ropes or to masts, but
the majority seemed to abandon
themselves in the wildest alarm and
despair. -
Meantime the lifeboat and its oc
cupants had terrible experiences on
tbe open, storm-tossed lake. All
who could, bound themselves to tbe
boat, while the remainder held on
the sides, expecting every moment
to meet death, either by drowning
ar from exposure and cold, which
was intense. Once the boat was
washed over by the waves and one
of Ae crew swept away, but the frail
i craft righted itself and was carried
inn i.i the comparative darKnesa. Af
ter halt an hour's experience of this j
description tbe boat suddenly struck
some rocks. Tbe inmates feared all
waa over with them, aa tbe craft cap- j
sized, but to their great eurprise;
when thrown out the water was only
a few feet deep, and to their great
joy they discovered that they were
on land.
After remaining there an hour or
more exposed to the elements, the
storm abated and the eky cleared.
It waa then discovered they were on j
the Isle Royal, and that the vessel
had been wrecked about a mile from
shore, on tbe great boulders border
ing the channel. It waa about ten j
o'clock in the morning, and tbe half
dead crew remained there until af
ternoon, when the Athabasca came
along and picked them up.
Farm Notes.
Tobacco stems from cigar makers !
will afford lice proof hen's neeta.
Do Dot try to farm too much land.
It is much more profitable "to thor
oughly till a small area, which can
be manured and kept in good con
dition, than to attempt to grow larg
er crops at the expense of cultivat
ing two or three times as much land
as may be necessary under a better
system.
Give plenty of room in tbe stalls.
Horses and cattle need rest in a re
cumbent position just as much as
men. It is not only exceedingly
cruel but the greatest unwisdom to
place them in such narrow stalls, or
to so tie them that they cannot lie
down easily and rest j
A friend of the Jerseys and other 1
small breeds of cattle says : "Better j
keep a cow that is worth but little j
for beef, that will give you $50 or
$75 a year in dairy products, than j
to keep a beef animal that will yield !
only S20 to $30 a year, because in ,
the end she will sell lor a tew more
dollars to tbe butcher. A dairy cow
should not be considered at all from
a beef producing point of view."
"A bushel of corn, when compact
ed into lard, or cheese or batter,"
s iys the New Orleans Timca-Dem-rral,
"can find its market anywhere
in the world where the cost of send
ing the corn iteelt would make a
market for it impossible. Besides
this, in making the lard or butter a
manurial residue is left on the land,
instead of being carried away to fer
tilize foreign fields. This is the ker
nel of tbe argument for mixed farm
ing instead of grain farming." ,
E. H. Hanley tells in the AVte
Emland Iomente.ad how he t;eats j
chukiog cattle. When a cow chokes j
on apples he pushes down the an
imal's throat a rubber hose until the
obstruction is forced into tbe stom
ach. He keeps on band for this
purpose a one and one-quarter inch
rubber hose four or five feet lng
When the hose is not very stiff a
stick may be put inside to give it
the required tension. The rubber
being smooth causes tbe animal no
pain.
As a rule, cattle and sheep relish
their feed best as near the natural
state as they ran get it ; grass , fresh
and green, hay as nearly as possible
to tbe condition it was in the field,
and fodder bright and dry, without
chopping or cooking. When feed
has once been brought within reach
of the animal there is no appliance
that so thoroughly fits it for the an
imal's use as the stomach itself;
hence when com ha? been shelled
for 6hep or crushed for cattle, fur
ther preparation of this food only
makes it less palatable.
Oats are a food coming much
nearer to tbe requirements of a well
halanced ration than corn, and have
long been considered a standard
horse-food. They do not pack in
the stomach like corn meal, because
one-third of the oats is husk, and
this is eaten with the concentrated
part and renders the masticated food
light and porous in the stomach.
They also contain a much larger per
centage of muscle-forming and bone
building material than corn. This
is why oats form the largest element
in the ration of horses for fast work,
but oats are often more expensive
than other kinds of food for horses.
Upon the question of feeding, and
the difficulty of a formula for feed
ing, the kind of animal must be
taken into consideration. For in
stance, cows more readily assimilate
the nutriment of cut straw and rel
atively of all woody fibre than hois
es. Again, the feeder must take in
to consideration the age of the ani
mal and the kind of animal (cattle
and (sheep require more bulky food
than horses and swine), the natural
temfter end disposition of the ani
mal, whether it be kept for fatten
ing, labor, breeding or milk, and the
digestibility of the food. For in
stance, if straw is a portion of tbe
food more oats or otner nitrogenized
grain must be given than when hay
is fed. Chintfo Tribune.
Colonel II. W. Wilson, in bis ad
drees on lawns before tbe Massachu
setts Horticultural Society.said that
blue grass and white clover were un
doubtedly the finest plants for lawns
from tbe beauty and thickness of
the turf which they make, and their
delicious fragrance when mown.
They are both fond of calcarious
soils, and the only way that fond
ness cn be met is by a free u?s of
lime while making the lawn ; 20J
bushels per acre would not be an
excessive quantity for the soil when
it is trenched or subsoiled. At least
two bushels of plaster should be
used with the annual top-dressing.
An objectionable practice, which
Colonel W. mentions, is that of sow
ing oats or other grain with the
grass seed, which puts the grass
back nearly a year, and while tbe
grain is growing it is no ornament.
Tbe Death orAnimala.
But what makes whales come oa
shore when the feel ill ? It looks
like suicide and may be. That
birds and beasts in the same way go
aside from their comrades is a pa
thetic fact which is well known.
Sometimes, no doubt, their friends
desert them. They feel that the
companionship of an en lee bled in
dividual is a possible source of dan
ger. Or, again, it may be that the
6ight of death is intolerable to them,
just as it has been and is to many
human tribes, who leave their dying
to pass awar in solitude and will
not remain to witness tbe last in
firmity of maa. Whatever tbe ex
planation, the fact remains that in
the animal world, as a rule, creat
ures go away and die by themselves,
and the water-folk commit what
may be called suicide by leaving
their own element for one in which
they cannot live.

ITCCIaE SAM'S VACCINATOR.
lAsahable Scene Wlwmtit
train from Canada
Scenes on the trains from Canada
into tbe United States during the
smallpox epidemic in the Dominion,
says Mr. Wm. Wilson, of Allegheny,
who has just returned from an ex
tended tour, were very amusing on
account of tbe objections of passen
gers to summary vaccination. Mr.
Wilson, like many others, was made
a subject for the lance before cross
ing the linee, by an examining phy
sician, whose business it was to ex
amine all passengers bound for the
United States, with a view to the
vaccination of all the unvaccinated.
He gives a very graphic description
of some ol the laughable things be
witnessed. The doctor, beginning
with the first passenger in tbe smok
ing car at tbe foremost end of the
train, confronU him with the brief
and pointed query, "Been vaccinat
ed V If the answer is ye, tbe next
question is, "Got a certificate ?"
Unlets this can be produced tbe
individual is compeiieu vo buuw "
i . . mj i t, !
arm, weep, uuieso uinc ia a mwu
scar.' tbe passenger is ..obliged to
when, unless there is a lresn
again undergo the operation or leave
the train. Down into bis vest pock
et goes the doctor, produces a little
tin box in which he keeps the
"points," off comes the lid, out come
tbe ivory points', in a moment a tiny
drop of blood appears on the sur
face, the vaccine is moistened by
the breath, the matter rubbed ctf
upon the lacerated part and the job
is done.
Having finished with the passen
cers in the 6inoking car, the next
car, filled almost entirely with la
dies, is visited bv the doctor. Here
begins the fun ; those tight-fitting
sleeves cannot be pulled up, and
mayhap the certificate has been lft
at home ; yes, it has ; honor bound,
arid only two weelts ago, tbe iady
declares, tshe was vaccinated by Dr.
B , of Montreal. She will have tbe
doctor send a certificate to the ex
amining physician. No, thst won't
do, and the law must be complied
witb. A tug at the tightly-fitting
jersey sleeve, another determined
pull, and tbe arm is bared nearly to
the elbow. "That will do," said the
doctor. Out comes tbe little knife
and points, aud thirty seconds later
the doctor passes on, and the lady
sinks back in her eeat with defiance
flashing from her eye, and inwardly
vowing that she will get even with
that borrid man if she lives long
enough.
"I would not lie to you, sir, in
deed I would not, sir," says a pret
ty, brown-eyed damsel, 1 have been
vaccinated." and the eves become
moistened and the cheeks quiver
as with suppressed emotion. But
the old doctor was obdurate. Busi
ness is business, and his business is
to see that no one who is not prop
erly vaccinated, whether male or fe
male, leaves Canadian for United
States territory. Pretty or ugly, it
is all the same lo bim.
"Sorry, madam, but I can't help
it : either let me see your certificate
or vour arm." She sees no sign of
relenting in the doctor's face. Aeuin
she tries :
'It was just a little while ago; in
deed it was doctor, I can't show you
my arm here. Can't you believe
me?"
No ; the doctor canuot, and will
not. The girl sees it is no use, and
reluctantly begins tugging at her
waist. Donn it comes from the
neck, the leit shoulder is exposed,
then the arm. The doctor, evident
ly, is not satisfied.
"When were you yaccinated?"
"Two years ago."
"Scar is not fresh enough," says
the doctor, and again out comes the
scarifier and the vaccine. A scratch
and ecream, but the physician is not
daunted and continues tbe work,
very gently, but with the air of a
man who thoroughly understands
bis business.
"There, that will do," he says, and
the girl, replacing he wardrobe, sinks
back in her seat, while the doctor,
passing on, is heard to rem irk:
"She had never been vaccinated."
Mrn or Extraordinary Strength.
Many stories of strong men and
extraordinary feats of strength are
to be found in the annals of all coun
tries. Ancient history abounds in
them, and the hero of medimval
chronicles was Ctsat Borgia, who, it
is said, could fell a bullock by a
blow of his fist.
One of the mast extraordinary
athletes that England has produced
was Thomas Topham. who was born
in London in 1711. The first proof
he gave of his prodigious strength
was pulling against a horse in Moor
fields, and afterwards lifting a rolling-stone
of 8(X) pounds weight with
his hands only, standing in a frame
above it, and taking hold of a chain
that was fastened to it He could
roll up a pewter dish of six or seven
pounds as easily as another man
could a sheet of paper ; hold a quart
pot at arm's length and squeeze the
sides together like an egg-shell ; lift
2 cwt with his little finger, and
move it gently over his head ; he
could lift an oak table six feet long,
to which half a hundred weight was
attached, with hi teeth, and, resting
it against bis knees, bold it in a hor
izontal position for a considerable
time. He raised with one band a
man weighing 27 stone. His head
being laid upon one chair and his
feet upon another, four people 14
stone each sat upon his body, which
he heaved at pleasure. He could
strike a round bar of iron about a
yard long and three inches iu diam
eter against bis naked arm, and at
one Ftrok bend it like a bow. He
lifted two hogsheads of water, heav
ed his horse across a turnpike gate,
and carried tbe beam of a house
across his shoulders as easily as
another man would a rifle. Once,
finding a watchman asleep in his
box in Cb is well street Moor fields,
he took up tbe box and man in his
arms, carried them some distance,
and then dropped them over the
railings into a place called Tyndall's
Burying-ground. There was noth
ing of the giant in his appearance ;
he was in height about 5 feet 10,
well made, but not strikingly so, and
walked with a slight limp ; but what
were hollows under the arms and
bams in other men were in him fill
ed up with masses of muscle. He
once made a wager that three horses
could not draw him from a post
round which be clasped bis feet, and
it was only by giving them a sud
den lash and a twist that tbe driver
succeeded in doing so, breaking Top
ham's thigh at tbe same time.
A Tbibetaa Dwelling.
To begin, and in order to famil
iarize a reader with the surround
ings and conditions of life of the
people under description, let us
picture a tvpical Thibetan house:
The outside walls are generally of
stone, set in a very inferior kind ot
mortar, but oftener in a bedding of
puddled mud. When clay is avail
able the builders much prefer to
bare only tbe foundations of stone,
and the walls above ground of well
prepared clay, which latter they
build up between plank molds.
These are removed as each layer is
finished, and raised to act aa molds
for the next layer.
The houses have two stories, and
frequently there is a shed along one
side of the roof, in which the inhab
itants work when the sun is oppres
sive. A great part of their work is
done on the flat root, such as thresh
ing grain, etc The ground-floor is
devoted to the cattle, horses, pigB,
eta Tbe fowls usually roost with
the family on the first floor. The
construction of tbe floor on tbe sec
ond story ia sufficiently curious. Its
main supports are cross beams ; on
these smaller bet-ms are placed at
right anelds, on which are laid slabs
of wood; on these again are
laid
small twigs like broom, and then a
coating ol mud plaster is spread, ou
which tbe planks are filially placed.
! A hole is left in this floor for the
-.,. UllA nf wood
s.V " 7h, .
t . .- . - ,k,,h
'
which hole ascend all the effluvia
from the animals below 1
There is only one door for the
whole house. In front of this door
there i generally a court-yard sur
rounded by walls. All the manure
and refuse is allowed to remain in
eitn under tbe house, and in the
court, all the year through, till short
lv before tbe season for manuring
the fields, when it is all collected
into a big heap and left to ltrmeut
there from a fortnight to three weeks
after which it is spread oyer the
land.
The larger houses have one or
more wings, and a veranda. The
lloor forming tiie roof is made in
the same way as the other, only there
is an addition of cow dung to tbe
mud instead of planks, and the plas
ter thus made is beaten for days
with slicks to make it amalgamate,
as in India. All cracks, as the plas
ter dries, are carefully filled up with
fresh plaster till the whole is a good
solid roof and floor combined, and
very well adapted for threshing.

Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight in the back, loins
and lower part of the abdomen, caus

some affection of the kidneys or
neighboring organs. At times,
symptons of indigestion are present,
as flatulency, uneasiness of the stom

tion, producing a very disagreeable
itching, after getting warm, is a com
mon attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the ap
plication ol Dr. Bosanko' Pile Rem

parts affected,absorbing the Tumors,

"It fairly wearies me to think, of

We may find it difficult to induce

Afterwards you and this medicine
will be fast friends. Dr. Kennedy's

good.

entirely overcome these troubles.
