A tablespoonfnl of alum and a ta- blespoonful of salt dissolved in a gallon little boy in his arms. The next moment he was impelled downward to a great depth, and before he reached the surface a second time he had nearly perished and had lost hold of his child. When he came on top once more an awful jscene met his eyes oyer 200 men, i women children struggling together amid pieces of wreck of every kind, calling on each, other for help and imploring God to assist them. The Captain was in the act of trying to save his child when-a portion of the paddle came rushing up edgewise, just grazing his head, and falling with its whole weight on the head of his darling boy.

The next! moment he beheld him floating lifeless on the water. He succeeded in getting on to the paddle-box in compa ny with eleven others. One, however soon left fdf another piece, finding that the paddle-box could not support so many, and others remained until they were removed, one after another by death. The temperature of the water was 45 degrees, and the sea frequently broke over them. When morning came not a living soul was to be seen except the seven men on the paddle-box, one of whom was Capt.

Luce. As day wore on they suffered severely for want of water to drink. The day continued foggy, except at noon, when they had a clear horizon for about half an hour. Night came on thick and dreary, and their minds were made up that none of them would see the light of another day. Soon the party was diminished by four," who- were relieved by death, and three only An hour before daylight On Friday, the 29th, they saw a vessel's light near them, and all three exerted themselves to the utmost of their strength in hailing her until i 'Uii' i i.

Dogs when stung will rush about whining piteously, biting pieces from the affected par." The small stinging trees, a few inches high, are as dangerous as any, being so hard to see, and seriously imperiling one's ankles.

The scrub is usually found growing among palm trees. Scientific American. Chicken Pudding: Boil a young chicken till tender, first cut it in 12 pieces. To make the pudding take 8 or 12 eggs, pint of sweet milk, beat the eggs well, add the milk and flour sufficient to form a smooth batter; add pinch of salt, pour about an inch deep in buttered pan, lay the chickens close together over the batter, pour more batter and bake.

The bows of the strange vessel seemed to Capt; Luce to be literally cut off some ten feet, and seeing that she must probably sink in a few minutes, and, taking a hasty glance at his own ship, believing that he was comparatively uninjured, his first impulse was to endeavor to save the lives of those on board the sinking vessel. The boats were cleared, and the first officer and six men left with one boat, and then it was discovered that the Arctic herself was leaking fearfully.

The engineers were set to work to pnt on the steam pumps, and the four deck pumps were worked by the passengers and crew. The ship was headed for the land, which was thought to be 50 miles 5 away. 1 1 Several ineffectual attempts were made to stop the leak' by gettm sails over the bow but finding of water is said to be effectual in retaining the of a lawn or calico dress. Soak the dress, and wash as usual; then rinse in the salt-and-alum water. A hotel-keeper who has perhaps paid for various nostrums" to exterminate bedbugs, is quoted by the National Farmer as saying that the most effective plan is to have the beds taken down, scrub all the joints with water and soap, and then apply any hard varnish to ends, slats, etc.

Filtered water can be produced easily, by taking a large, sound, common earthen flower-pot, and soaking it in water 24 hours. Then fill the hole at the bottom with clean sponge, put in an inch layer of fine clean sand, and on the top a layer of clean coarse gravel, and let the water filter through it. When it is desirable to filter water quickly, for immediate use, employ the following method: Put a quart of clean water over the fire and just bring it to a boil remove it and strain if three or four times through flannel cool it and keep-it for use in a covered jar or pitcher..
