When Captain Calvin of the ill-f:ited Hylton Castle reached "ew York recently, lie was interviewed by a re porter "to the following effect: '"It will alwai live in my mind," he said with emotion, "although my poor men suffer ed worse than I. When we sailed away from Konen I counted upon a speedy voyage. Hut the storm which broke upon" us was so severe that I knew the ship could not escape its fury. We were about seventy-five miles to the eastward of Sandv Hook when it broke upon us. It was about 11 o'clock when my worst fears were realized, for with every motion of the vessel a huge wave This continued would break over us. all that night, and when daylight broke on the second most of our d.x-k fixtures were either gone or badly damaged. Still I thought we could get along with out them, so I continued sending the ship along at half sjieed.

"When we parted with the lifeboat in ' charge of the mate, all our oars save ' two pairs had been broken by the heavy sea. It was lnijx'ssili'e to pull against those heavy waves. 1 did not know iu what direction land lay, so I ordered the boat to be steered according to reckoning. The men had eaten scarcely anything since early morning, and lx-iug exhausted, some of them lay down. Then two more oars broke and we were left with only one pair. It was intense ly cold and we drifted about, God know s where. The men were more or lt-ss frost bitten by that time, and suffered greatlv for the want of food and water. We all laid down to die. Darkness came on. One of the men was looking eastward about 9 o'clock when fie suddenly shouted. "A ship's light." It was close by, and in one voice we all called for help. "They heard us, thank heaven, ::nd the rest is known, for a quarter of a:i hour later we were before a warm tire on board the Stephen Woolsey. The crew of that vessel had to help the nun on board, though, for four of them wt ie actually too dead to move. We were weJl treated on the Woolsey, and 1 wish you would thank her master for me."

I'limsoll's mark was high above the water line. Captain Xathaniel Keeney of the Woolsey said his vessel had left the vicinity of Fire Island in company with the smack J. F. llecker ou Monday morning. They went off to the east ward in search of an anchor which they had buoyed the day before. It was about y o'clock on Monday night when several of the crew heard tho cry for help.

American men are hard workers. They se their wives and children but little, except at table. That seems to be about the only family gathering. What a spectacle is the common man agement of these family gatherings! i The father sits in glum silejce and shovels in as fast as he can swallow. The children follow the example. The food is passed only when asked for, and Is then passed in silence. There is noth ing human about it. 1 can't see in what essential particular it differs from a group of pigs gathered about a trough. If these gatherings were wisely man aged; !f the experiences of the children in their schools were lovingly called out. if such news as the parents picked up since the last meeting were fbld, if this were the scene at th table three times a day, the table meetings would be most attractive to the small people. The parents would grow iuto a loving oneness with their children. It would in truth prove the greatest blessing to every member of the group, and in the long run would contribute more to the physical, intellectual, social and moral developments of the young people than anv nlhar atronnv T ein nanip. jv..-.,. ---- , John Smith, a blacksmith living m a ; New England village, has a wife and several children.

' He encountered them chieiiy fjasKiiig m the sun upon the stone stairs leading to the excavations, and although unpleas ant inhabitants, it is in harmony with the genius of the spot that an island sacred to Shira the Destroyer should be peopled with the hooded snake, which was ever the emblem of his awful power.

Even the powder- ing of the silica of the plant has been given as a sufficient end ior extra tui- age. A tlowmax says there are several easy ways to prevent rusting of plows and cultivators and to keep the teeth bright. One is to give them a coat or thick limewash as soon as they are brought in from the field. Another is t Hoanim ,n nmvAa nr -rw.n in iour ounce3 0f linseed oil, and while hot mix this with a auart of kerosene ana stir well. This is liid on the smooth iron with a paint brush. Another way is to dissolve an ounce of camphor in some turpentine and add to this four ounces of lard and one ounce of pulverized black lead or stove polish and mix well.

The poultry house should be separate and apart from other buildings where farm animals aie kept. Fowls need treatment which they cannot get when allowed to run and roost with other stock; and besides, their uncleanly habits make theui unfit companions for farm live stock, and it is disagreeable to have them roosting about the barn. They take on vermin more rapidly than any other creature, and when allowed to roost in sheds or stables, ate almost sure to give lice to cattle and horses. Kept In a house of their own these evils are avoided, and the fowls tuerrnalvej can be kept in a much better cou Jitiou. As A rule, cattle and sUeep relish I their feed best as near the natural state as they can get it ; grass fresh and green, hay as nearly as ixissible to the condition It is in the field, and fodder bright and dry. without either chopping or cooking. When feed has oace been brought within the reach of the animal there is no appliance that so thoroughly fits it for the animals use a3 the stomach itself; hence when corn has been shelled for sheep or crushed for cattle, further preparation of this fjod only makes it less palatable, Whex a new milch cow has her calf taken from her she will ofteu hold up her milk, apparently for the purpose of saving it for her offspring. It will re quire kindness and patience to over come this habit. The operation of milking is pleasant for the animal, and if she is given a mess of warm slops while being milked her attention will be so diverted that she will yield with out remembering her calf. It is im portant to milk clean from the first, as retention of mi'.k in the udder injures it and tends to decrease the yield. Give Cows Warm Drink. It is said that in Francs some experiments were recently made with regard to the temperature of the water supplied to cows and its effect upon the milk yield ed by them, the food being kept sub stantially the sama. The quantity of milk obtamed from the cows given water to drink at 113 degrees Fahren heit was one-third more than that from the cows that had to drink cold water, but nothing definite Is stated regarding the quality of the milk or of the com parative effect of the differently heated drinks upon the physical condition of the animal. A good boar should have a short head, wide between the eyes, fine muzzle, silky ears, lively eyes, soft mel low skin, long, fine, abundant hair, but no bristles ; short leg3, heavy jowl and quarters, full, short neck, well-developed organs, and compactly-built body. The sow should resemble him i:i many resects, but should have more length and depth of body. The chief difficulty in teaching calves to drink from the pad arises from too great haste. Let the calf be come hungry, warm the food to the temperature of new milk, give it the finger to suck, but only for a moment, and the calf is easily taught ti drink. In feeding roots it is very iiirurtant that they be sliced, especially when given to cattle. If the weather becomes cell it is best to keep the frtzn roots in water over night in order to draw . ,.

GOOD QSjUVTEKS. The) Vice President' Private Room' Probably the best appointed and best furnished room in the Capitol is that occupied by the President of tho Senate and known as the "Vice President's Room." It adjoins the celebrated Marble Room, in which visitors to Sen- ators are received. and is intenaea as . , the private oflice and retiring room ol I Un " w.n Vraculnnt Twft lfirtTA window facing north affords magnificent pano- i a "II u rama, embracing tne neiguis or, vt asu- lngton, among the features ot wrucn are the Soldiers' Home, Howard Uni versity, and the sweep of country bordering Kock creek, made historic during the rebbelion by a long chain of fortifications and a canvas city, which was the temporary abiding place of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Lace curtains of an exquisite and rare pattern partially conceal the bare outlines of the window frame-s and the heavy lambre quins are both costly and magnificent in design and material. Carpet of a Turk ish combination covers the floor, and its thickness is such that not a footfall can be distinguished no matter how many persons may temporarily occupy the room. Luxurious looking mahogany chairs, of a substantial make and up holstered in red leather, similar to the fashion so prevalent in library furniture, ornament the niches and comers, while a capacious blue-cloth-covered tabie is the central object of attraction. On the comfortable leather lounge, w hich matches the chairs, and is placed at the left of the Vice President's table. Vice President Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, peacefully breathed his last, surrounded by his associates of the upper house of the national legislature. An oien fireplace, in which a blazing lire of oak logs is constantly maintained during cold weather, adds to the cheer ful :isect of this apartment, and when the heat liecomes too intense for the Vice President a Japanese three-winged screen is placed in position behind his revolving cane-seat chair. AVlien it ln-coines necessary for night work, light is furnished bv a drop from the gilt, bronze, ami crystal chandelier just over the table, and from the same source the Vice President's secretary obtains light for his desk, which is placed at right antrlcs t the lartre table and close to the window in the northeast extremity of the aiartment. Over the marble mantel-piece is a large plate-glass mirror, occupying the entire space letween the windows, and the top of whiclitouches the ceiling. This handsome piece of decorative furniture is Hanked on either side by bronze figures of swonled cavaliers, and the w hole is in striking contrast to a simple gilt mirror, about four feet long by two wide, w hich is the only piece of antique furniture in the room. There is a history connected with this mirror however,and although it cost a trifle of $40 when it was purchased in the early days of the republic, it was characterized in the Senate chamber as a "piece of shame less extravagance." President John Adams was the offender, and he brought the mirror home from Pans, and event ually had it put up for his convenience in the room used by him. At present the mirror is in the compartment con taining a stationary washstand, and Its time-worn surface is not very flattering to those who avail themselves of it for making an attractive toilet. Of all the handsomely decorated and frescoed rooms in the Senate wing of the Capitol that assigned to the Vice Presi dent is the least conspicuous in this respect. The walls are kalsomined white, and the only relief to the monot. ony is a single line of" green, not more than half an incn wide. Visitors to this room are attracted by a large portrait of George Washington, said to be the best picture extant of the Father of this Country. It was painted by Rembrandt Peale, for whom Washing ton sat, and the artist did the subject ample justic, if the benign counteuce which looks down from the canvas is any indication of the character of the sage of Mount Vernon. It is amid such surroundings that the presiding officer of the Senate attends to his affairs, and the books of reference whick he finds so much use for are handily arranged in a tall mahogany bookcase, the contents being protected from dust and exiosure by cardinal pleated silk curtains and glass doors. Xear the door w hich leads into the wash room is placed a pillar of white marble sur mounted by a bust of the late Lafayette F. S. Foster, formerly a Senator from Connecticut and President pro tempore of the Senate. Strangers who are taken into this room by the Capitol guides are charmed with interesting but not abso lutely historical stories about its former occuaiit.s, and the bust of Mr. Foster lias done duty ae tho marble present ment of every Vice President since the independence of the United States was declared. Greeley's Repartees. Mr. Greeley made on many occasions tart and telling replies to his assailant and correspondents. When CoL Webb, soon after he had been sentenced for fighting a duel with Marshall of Ken tucky, taunted Mr. Greeley about his dress he replied that but for the clemency of Governor Seward, Webb's dress (the prison garb) would have at tr.icted more attention than his on Broadway! Some one took Mr. Greeley to task for abusing President Tyler, ne re plied that he had long since Stopped gazing at the spot where Tyler went down! Somebody wrote to him asking him for the autograph of Edgar A, Poe and Mr. Greeley responded: "Dear Sir Among my literary treasures there hapiens to be exactly one autograph of our country's late lamented jKet, Edgar A. Poe, It is his note of hand for $50, with my in dorsement across the back. It cost me exactly $.V).72 (including protest), and you may have it for half that amount!" Uiou one occasion, when every editor was abusing him, the Evening Mirror. then edited by George P. Morris and Hiram Fuller, with a limited circula tion, had a bitter attack upon him. The newsboys were crying it at our door. I said: "Greeley, shall I get you a copy?" lie replied: "No, Rob, you might ex haust the edition!" A Noted Indian Fighter. A gentleman from Santa Fe, who is connected with the Territorial govern ment affairs, is authority for the state ment that the Territorial Government is actually in negotiation with Colonel Texas, the noted India j fighter, to raise a body of rangers ta come over into New Mexico and ex terminate the murdering Apaches. Baylor has had great experience as an Indian hunter, and it is thought that with a couple of hundred of picked rangers he could capture the Apaches or bring their scalps in long before the army officers succeed in getting sight of them. The refusal of the President to remove General Crook causes a great deal of disgust here arnonz all classes.

HOUSEHOLD. Sate Your Scraps or Lines. Never throw away a scrap of linen. Let this be graven upon tha heart of every woman. Every scrap of linen that has served its purpose should be carefully washed and ironed and laid away in a proper receptacle for home or hospital ase. Old handkerchiefs, table napkins, tablecloths, sheets, towels and pillow cases s'sould be placed in their respective places, so that when wanted they may be easily found. Despise no piece of linen however small. The linen part of frayed cuffs or collars may be detached and put away for future need. The hems of tablecloths, sheets and pillow cases should be taken off be fore they are ironed. Old towels that are so often thrown away as of no value aranioAAr nuin paw nf ilineu.

It is not a good plau to keep silks laid away a longtime before making them up, as excluding them from the light and air makes them so tender that they wil lnot wear well. Silks and velvet! in the piece should be folded loosely in a box not rolled and should be aired occas ionally.

The lower com partments are Tor slippers, rubbers, and an extra pair of boots. These wall bags are not intended as regular dress ing cases, but they are handy, easily made, and cau be put up on a wall or a door in a minute, and take up hardly any space when not la use.
