EFFICACY OF PRAYER.
It Saved a Ship When Oil Upon the Wa
ter* Was of No Avail.
A most remarkable story of saving an
ocean steamer by prayer was given out
when the Northern Pacific steamer Ta
coma arrived from China and Japan the
other day. When 1,000 miles from Yo
kohama and near midocean, a “twister”
struck the vessel and all but wrecked it.
The waves dashed over her, carrying
away all the upper decks.
All control of the steamer was lost,
and she went drifting about at the mer
cy of the big waves. Then she listed and
the officers, losing hope, congregated in
the surgeon’s cabin and united in prayer.
Several hundred, gallons of oil had been
cast upon the angry sea, but to no avail.
Soon after the officers joined in prayer
the storm subsided, the vessel righted it
self and the officers cleared away the
wreckage on deck and brought the
steamer safely into port. No one was
lost, and in the official chronicle of the
battle with the cyclone prepared by Sec
c.':d Officer Smith, under direction of
Captain Crawford, divine Providence is
freely credited with saving the steamer
and all on board.
LIVE TAPEWORM IN AN EGG.
It la Two Inches Long and Was Discov
ered In Mount Vernon.
Dr. John Knapp of Mount Vernon,
N. Y., has in his possession a tapeworm
2 inches long that was found in a hen’s
egg by Mrs. Benjamin Sedgwick.
Dr. Knapp insists that it is a genuine
tapeworm. He says the finding of such
an organism in an egg is unprecedented,
and that it will suggest to bacteriologists
a new field for investigation.
Mrs. Sedgwick was breaking eggs into
a dish, when she noticedin the albumen
something that moved. She was at first
■too much startled to look Into the dish
a second time, Mrs. Sedgwick finally
determined to have the phenomenon in
vestigated, and carried the broken eggs
to Dr. Knapp. Dr. Knapp at once said
that the live object was beyond doubt a
tapeworm.
Dr. Knapp says he will'report the
matter to prominent bacteriologists.
Very Odd.
How odd a thing is love 1
Or shall we call it by some other
name?
It matters little, for by any other
name the result would be the same.
Here is Mrs. Frank Higginson, a Bos
ton heavy swell and well known in New
York society, running away with a Har
vard student, although she is full 40
years of age and the mother of four
children. •<
By Jove, but this thing we call love
is an awfully freakish thing !
Moreover, it seems that a woman is
never safe from it, no matter what her
®ge or» station or previous condition of
servittule.—New York Recorder.
The New Supreme Crrart Justice.
Many complimentary remarks rela
tive to Judge Peckham have been made
by persons acquainted with the family
of the distinguished jurist. His father
and stepmother, it will be reffiembored,
perished on the ill fated steamer Ville
de Havre in the Atlantic years ago.- As
illustrative of the high courage of t-Eo
elder Peckham, which his sons are de
clared to have inherited, the story is
told that when the ship was known tc
be sinking, and all hope had departed,
Judge Peckham clasped, his wife in his
arms and said, “My dear, if we must
die, let us die bravely.”—New York
Times.

A boy was told to construe “oratio

“made a harangue. ” He did as he was
told, but stared so that his teacher said :
“Why, you know what a harangue is,
don’t you?” The boy said he thought it
was a kind of monkey; on which the
teacher stared, too, till “orang outang”
came into his head.
I once asked a class why Adam and
Eve were not ashamed when they were
