She was coming in from the Mediterranean after a three years' cruise, and went down in a gale in sight of home with every soul on board. I was young then and anxious to: be the first sent down into her for the sake of the reputation it would give: me, for reputation meant money, and money, you see, was the only rea- son why Hettie and I were deferring our marriage. “The sea was running high as I was carried down in my heavy armor from the deck of the steamer to the float alongside, where the ropes by which to haul me up again were fastened. on. The India-rubber tube through whioh I. was to be supplied with air was ad- juswd. “Now, my dear boy," said my old friend and instructor, Lott, the fam- ous deep-sea diver, who came forward to close the little glass window in my helmet, “take good care of yourself, and don’t stay long below. The cur- rents- are swift." “I dropped into the waves with a splash, sinking swiftly down through the brilliant Sunlit waters which, though rough and boisterous at their surface, suddenly grew caim as I pass- ed tbelow. “I glanced up at the sun, which ap- peared as a great ball of fire, but growing smaller and smaller as I sank lower, it finally seemed like a tiny red spark of a candle. and then faded from sight. “I cleared a bank of thick sea-weed and stood at last upon the bright, sandy bottom. “Passing round a reef of rocks fan- cifully honey-combed, I came upon a mass of tangled rigging: and a few steps brought me to the man-of-war half-buried where she lay in the drift- ing sand. “Great caution was necessary lest I should become entangled among the ropes or caught under the shifting timbers, and making my way slowly to the companion-way I sent up the signal: “‘I am about to enter the vesselâ€" I shall be in dangerâ€"play out rope freely and give me plenLy of air.’ “I made my way to the lower deck and found myself in the forward cabin. I groped about for the doorway, know- ing that once in the main saloon the deck lights would enable me to see more distinctly. "Clearing the rubbish and drifted sand from about the doorway I put my shoulder to the door, shoved it back. against the waters, and resolute- ly entered. An awful silence was up- on everythingâ€"a silence as _of death. “Before they had reached the com- panionway the mighty water had rush- ed in upon them, and they died where iq had met them at the threshold. LLA... I was alone at the bottom of the sea, in the saioon of the Conqueror, and close about me were postured. like grim sevntinels set to watch me in my work, the officers and a crew of two hundred! “Yes, there were the ill-fated men, as they stood when death overtook them on that awful night when they we re sinking. “The eddying waters carried them here and there through the cabin, but still, so close were they to one another that I had to part them now and then to reach the after cabin, and more than one turned and followed in the wake I made behind me. Their faces were often close against my helmet, and it horrified me to notice that they all wore still upon their faces the im- press of the terror that had come upâ€" on them with death. “A’ moment passed and I was terriâ€" fied at receiving no response from a second or third signal. “I pulled the rope again violentlyâ€" waitedâ€"Still no reply. “Great heavens! \Vhat did it all mean? Had they forgotten me ’9’ Were they going to leave me there at the bottom of the sea with that awful crew '3 I no sooner realized my helpâ€" lessness than an uncontrollable ter- ror took possession of me. Surely they would n0t desert me! Surely they had n0t forgotten me! I pulled madly at the cord once more. and glancing up perceived that there was something steadily resisting my efforts from the mast-head above. “Was it some monster who was play- ing with my ropeâ€"some great fish that was holding it in his jaws? In my desperation I threw my whole weight on it, andâ€"it gave way, and fell, slowly, silently on the deck at my feet. The ragged, frayed ends which had become entangled in the rigging were in my hands, and the upâ€" per haif of the rope had floated away with the tide. -£ Ln- ‘1‘“ fast to me; but as soon as they shouid begin to wind in the ropes and tube, on some supposed signal from me, it would snap in two, and the mate? would come in upon me.

We had no “bell" to go down to you in, so we just fastened some weights to my feet and ropes to my arms. I took a rubber mouthpiece between my teeth and dropped overboard. The water oppressed me fearfully, and I couldn’t have stood it mare than a few minutes, In that few minutes I found you, caught you up in my arms, and signal- led to them to haul us up quick.

We all pity the victim in'the clutches Of a sudden and severe onslaught of ill- 11838; our hearts are wrung at the thought of his sufferings and we long to help him. All of us who have a Spark of humanity in our make-up are sorry for the really ill. But there is another class of people, who are, per- haps, even more in need of our sym- pathy, and who too seldom receive it. They are the people who, although not dangerously ill, are yet far from well. Happy is she who, during some period of her existence, has not belonged to the army of martyrs who have been " under the weather ” for so long that their friends get used to the fact, and. it may be, in their secret souls rather weary of it. Perhaps one of the most trying things about being only passively ill, and that for a long time, is that the patient becomes ashamed of her indis- position, and is mortified that she can never truthfully say, “Very well, thank you 2" to the frequent inquiries con- cerning her health. Of course among the lower class there are those who “ enjoy poor health,“ and who may be said to “glory in their infirmites"-â€" though hardly in the Scriptural sense. But this is not the class to be pitied, except as we have compassion for any poor, ignorant creature with distorted views of life. But she who needs sympathy is the refined, educated woman who would be well if she could, and who keeps much of her discomfort to herself. She is thankful that she{ is not confined to her bed, to her room, or even to the house. As the phrase is, She can go about like other people.” Like other people! But, oh, with what a difference! W'here others awake refreshed in the morning, she drags herself from her bed with a prayer for physical strength; to hear her bravely through the hours? that must intervene before she can‘ again lay her weary body down. Where others attack work with joy, she spurs or whips herself on to per- form it so satisfactorily that nobody may suSpect how hard it is for her. She often works with a perseverance and ane-rvous conscientiousness that, her task accomplished, leave her with flushed cheeks, shortened breath, and trembling hands. “ Just a little ner- vousness," she explains laughing. 01‘, when urged to participate in some pleasure, she excuses herself with the plea that she is “a little tired.” Ah how tired only God and ,she know! Perhaps if those she loves knew all. they would net speak as did a good woman to such a never-really-ill, but never-well sister. "I declare, Emma," she exclaimed, in her energetic way, “ it would be a comfort to see you once when you did not look tired! It must be a regular nuisance to be forever worn out! It is bad enough to see you feel like that it must be worse to be the victim. Oh, I wish you were well!" with afinal outburst of impatience. N.,G. J. McKechnie. N., G. J. McKECflNlE.

As fermentation proceeds remove the plug and let the fermenting juice run through into a keg or barrel that has contained spirits. After all the juice has been pressed from the berries into the keg add one pound of sugar and one quart of water to each quart of juice, filling the keg to the brim. Ev- ery day or so fill up with sugar water while fermentation proceeds, and when that has subsided pour into a cask that has held white wine vinegar and let it stand till ripe. Never wear a pad at the back under a plain-fitting dress-skirt, as it will make an unsightly hump. If you need filling out at that point, a piece of fine crinoline set in at the band in the form of a long ruffle will give a more natural and more graceful ful- ness. Pads should only be used where there is a gathered fulness to hide where the addition begins and leaves off. An ill-fitting corset will make the best figure in the world 111: sshapen.
