larger than ever.
ruiNCt no, February 24.—Elisabeth Bloaat,
tbo heroine of the almost miraculous trip
tbe Columbine from tho < ooat of the Shotlands
to Norway, arrived hero to-day and lias been
interviewed. 8bc lived on one of the Hhetland
isles for sixty yearn. She was the daughter
a‘poor shoemaker. Her first husband was
tailor engaged in tlic Greenland whale fishery.
This last abip on which ho was employed was
never again heard of after it wUied from
port. Her second husband was a fisher
man. For thirty years she led the sim
pie life of toilsome industry which is the
lot of so many Shetland women, working
among stock and with tho peat-gatherers by
day aad at the famous hosiery in the evenings.
Hhehad long been regarded as bearing a
charmed life in the district of Neatness, where
she lived. Eighteen years ago she was accl
dentally shot in the crown of the head by
sportsmen who bad not observed her being 1 _
range of his gamo. Ten years later, while
driving a peat-cart, the pony becstuo restive
and she was thrown out. Ono of tbo wbeeis
crushed ber foot, injuring alio her hip.
Rhe bat never been fully well since—
hence her trip to Lerwick to see a doctor there.
Bhc was intrusted with forty knitted shawls
by her neighbors to sell. Theso she returns
with, thus keeping her trust sacred. Tbo
skipper of the Columbine, a fishing craft of
twenty-one tons, offered her a passage. The
Columbine had left Lerwick and tho trip
should havo extended to Dunrossness aud
Fair Isle, to widen places it carried the sample
mailbag, but the rough weather compelled it
to return to Lerwick,when it was only twenty-
four miles away. Proceeding to sea with the
usual complement of three men,tbe littlo vessel
had not long been under way before tho
weather became boisterous.
Elizabeth Monat whs below seasick,and waa
seated near tbe foot of tho cabin steps. Hhc
heard U10 skipper cry out, “The malnsheots
arc. broken!” Looking up through the open
hatchway she saw him run to tho fore part of
the beat, and tbe next moment heard another
voice cry, “dear away tho boat! ’ Fearing
something alarming had occurred, sho cn*
diayored toclimb up tho steps to look out.
In doing so sho fell back on the floor. Iu
about ten minutes she rallied, and on again
ascending tho steps, to her amazement she
discovered tho crew had left. Hho felt no
doubt that when tho skipper went forward
the swinging boom had knocked him over
board, and that within ten minutes of her
fall tbo two men bad put out in tho boat to
rescue him. The sad fate of the captain and
the dhunay with which the mendWered
the Columbine again under way and found it
impossible to overtake her are already known
to nailers. Theyaro also awars of iheext
hauiited condition in whiub tbo men roachod
land; of the alarm spread as the Columbine
*^ ,c,D , fro, ?,. <l,,orc » Miring seaward with a
solitary invalid woman on board; of tbo start*
ingin pursuit of the steam trawlers Gypsy
and the Earl of Katland, their return without
Andinjany traces of the ill-fated craft.
Tbo vessel was rolling, at tho mercy of the
wayraln the stormy North sea, and as the
i ?•?? online* of the islands woro quick
ly left behind tho truth of tho terrible situation
in which the was placed presented itself to the
old woman. Being under no sort of control,
the helm shifted at every lurch. The waves
washed over tbo deck flrst from ono side and
then from the other, lltivy showers of spray
were Idown down the hatchway. The loosened
■all, flopping with tho wind, was gradually
being reduced to tatters. The boom was
swinging, and the ropes, with the blocks at
tached, were flying dangerously about from
the rigging.
aw Awrrt. sjTtTATTtnr.
’I could only maintain my sitting posture/'
said the wouian, “by keeping a firm hold of a
rope fsstcmd to tbe roof, and was in danger
every moment of being thrown vloloutly on
the floor. Tho idee of being elono in a little
ersf! on a stormy see, with durkneas or night
remingon, horrified me. A fooling of terror
is me over me and I commenced to scream,
ilirn I l*rame calm, knowing my voho could
tfsrh no human car, and thou thoro came to
me the thought of tho impossibility of people
on shore mr being aware of my fate. This
was one Saturday night.”
Bhe then told bow the long hours till day
light were passed in tiresome cHurts to main-
tnlu her sitting position, now with one hand
and then with the other holding on to tho ropn
until each became benumbed; bow a lurch of
the vrtsfl overturned the tabic, and tho draw-
era of tho locker slid out with a crash, and for
the rest of the night rolled noisily about: ho w
by the light of a match sho succeeded In fixing
her feet upon tho heaviest articles on the floor,
and by burning several other matches tried
to rrsfiore a littlo warmth to her lingers.
Hunday, m daylight came, she toileted she
heard a little church bell ring. She prayed
and soon felt calmer. Having tasted nothing
since Saturday, she made her flrst moal on
board, which was coufiaed to half a biscuit
and a small quautity of milk. The experience
of Sunday was much line that of the previous
afternoon. Tbs storm ooutinuod unabated in
J U| 7- h* tha courto of the day another heavy
lurch brought down tho companion ladder.
She hod not sufllcicnt strength to replaco it,
and was thus practically imnrisoned. By
standing on a chest fastened under the Udder
she could look out, and overy
day cost her eyes over tbe sea in search of
land or passing vesrols. Sunday closed dark
and stormy, aud the prospect of another night
or terror was so overpowering at to indues that
calmness which accompanies despair. Monday
morning she again drew npon her scanty store
of biscuit and milk. Snow and hail hod given
place to min. Hudiug a piece of rope, she
fastened it to that which liuug from tho roof
and made a convenient loop in which sho
could rest ono elbow at a time. This helped
her remain seated, and her blistered hands
got better.
The captain’s watch hanging on a nail in tho
cabin had ceased to goat l&M Monday.
R hen the lonely woman fancied tho day had
advanced to about that hour sho wound it up.
This she did dally until her release, when, as
sho somewhat triumphantly said, the watch
was found to bo uot so far wroug. Tho pres
ence of the watch, too, was a source of quiet
comfort. Searching around the cabin during
the moments when tho lurching ceased, she
found a stout sailor's Jacket, which she put on
•hove her shawl. Thus a sufficient degree of
heat was maintained In her body to proveut
any serious shivsriug. which in the night
might have been very dangerous.
Monday night, like the two which hod pro-
ceded it, dosed dark and cheerless. Tuesday
morning brought no iaiprovemont in the
weather. The same aranty meal was again
partaken. Toward the afternoon the weather
moderated, and it was possible to sit without
holding the rope. The cold in her extremi-
tics was the chief cause of the • old woman's
suffering. Wednesday tho sun waa shining
brightly, and continued so all day. There was
in this a glimmer of comfort, and the poor,
lonely creature sat down to her lost meal on
board with tbe last half of her buitcuit and
driuking from a bottle of milk. She then
climhed upon the box and looked out. It was
midday, and the bow waa directed toward the
sun.
I.IXD AT I.AST.
Looking behind, to her momentary delight
►be raw land which the knew by the sun to Lay
northward • and that the course of the vessel
was for the time «nutherly. She described the
lsnd as a ranse of low hills, with much higher
scow covered hills iu tho distance. The course
of the ves» e! soon left them far behind. By
Thursday morning the craft had lost a vary rag
of soil and was drifting stern foremost. More
cheerless hours passed. Early Friday moru*
ing the wind sprang np. The sea was violent,
aad hunger and horror again oppressed the oil
woman. Her thirst inc.^Gtetd and she eagerly
licked drops from * the cabin
windows. Through Saturday tie storm
contiiued, but after midnight, then
168 bears having been pawod, sho fdfc the first
indication that either help or destruction was
at hand. The vessel began to strike violently
on tcrr.e tubjnerged rockr, and with the rise
and fail of tbe sea sho found a bed now on one
inclination and then on auolhtr. The timbers
began to break and strain, and m the vessel
struck rock after rock tho noises produced by
tho bumping, the.shifting of the furniture,
and crcillatiuii of the mast which now began
to give way were to the prisoner mo it terror
striking.
When Hunday morning broke, weak an
exhausted as she was from starvation and ex
jo*nre, and notwithstanding that the vessel
was still roiltig among the rocks, Elizabeth
Meuat contrived to raise herself once more
upon the box and to look out. Hero at last
was lord. The vessel was still besting along
stern foremost. At ahoutH o’clock the Colum
bine ran upon a shingly bench, leaned over to
one side, and remained fast, tbe mast in tho
same minute going over into the sea with a
loud crash. Ah the vessel leaned toward tho
fchore tbe water in the hole made its way into
tbo cabin and soon rove to a foot.
Ilf NORWAY.
The place where the Columbine cat
land after Its erratic voyage across the North
sea was the little island of Lepsoe, on tbe north
coast of Norway, twelve miles north of the
fishing town of Aalcsnnd. This island is four
miles long and two broad, consisting mainly of
one bnge rock 1,600 feet high with, st several
placer, narrow seaboard bowlders. Where the
Columbine stranded there is only a very short
stretch of shingly beach, and bad the vessel
struck a few fathoms cither to the oast or west
of tbe identical spot on which it now lies
would only have been dashed to pieces against
the precipitous rocks and become An Irrevoca
ble wreck, and Elizabeth Monat would have
been killed.
The solitary passenger » •* • v eagerly
looking out from tho hatch' .uich stood
breast high to her from her ! ; on tb i box
beneath. Bhe was able ♦ ung 1 ; who
had for romo time beei ... .ig th«
Bhe waved her an-’S hi. 1 it. d h^r voice to
its highest pitch. Acthc^on . „i.ian scream
ed for help the lads si onted in return. Hev
era! ran off to tbe nearest hamlet, called Far
stad, for assistance. A number of fishermen
arrived, but as the vessel was distant from tbe
beach 600 yards and was in a heavy surf it was
evidently going to bo a work of considerable
difficulty to get on board. Ono fisherman
with a rope nronnd his waist walked
into the sea, but was rcveral times beaten back.
At length, getting hold of a part of a sail
and a roiie hanging front the bow he climbed
on board and was soon afterward followed by
a companion. Meantime Elisabeth had by a
desperate effort climbed out on the dock,
where Hho had never been since sho had gono
on beard, and the men found her sitting almost
helpless. Thoir language wa« unknown to
her, bnt they soon gathered that the helpless
woman was the only living creature on board.
By means of a rope from the shore and with
the assistance of the recurring waves, the ves
sel was polled as far np on the beach as prac
ticable and made fkst.
Still, however, the distance between tbe ves
sel and the land «wss great. Tho fishermen
put a rope around the woman’s waist and
threw it to land. They next lifted her over
the bow and gave her hold of tho rope by
which tbo vessel had been drawn toward the
shore, sod which was there held taut by will
Ing hands. Suspended In mid air, this much
tried woman of sixty years actually scrambled
band over band for a distance of several yards
until relieved by two men from tho tbofo,
who, standing un to thoir middle in tho water,
caught her in their arms. She was carried
ashore nearly dead with terror and exhaust
ion.
The people gave her food and rest. She
gained strength rapidly, and was taken soon
to the mainland, and thence by steam r to
Hull. Thenco hither by rail. Horosho found
a telegram awaiting ber from tbo mana'gsr of
Royal aquarium in Londou offering to pay her
*10 a week and expenses to come to tho aqua
rium. All sho would huvo to do would bo to
rcceivo visitors. Tho proposal whs at onco
declined.

Chandler Harris fore I slap tbe life out’u you
—didn’t I tell yon to set doom, May-Ura?
All of you ’uns take cheers and here’s a bench
some of you ken sot on.”
Arter while the boys went in the shed room,
ul whispered and giggled and got to bed 1
rter fashion. The planks twixt the root
so thin you can hear ever word that's said.
Caledony was so tired and sleepy she was
ready to drop down quick as tho pallot was
spread on the floor. Tho old ’omaa got the
baby to sleep, littlo John T. Morgan, two year
old, and layed him over next to Calodony to
keep him from rollin’ oflTn the ntllct.
“Come here, ’Alabamy Fetch-me-not/ and
lay on tother aide of your little buddy, anddo
you shake him and pat him if he goes to wako
up, and don’t you ag-ger-vate him nuther. I’v
bad too hard a time a-gittin’ of him to sleep,
for tbe likes of you to woke him np. You
chilluns been a stuffin’ of him ou them old
hard, green poaches, and cverthing else you
could lay your hands on, all day lotig, and
I don’t look for nothin’ else but
for him to have a spasm this night. Fetch
your sef here to me William Henry Forney,
you and Robert E. Leo, and wash them black
feet of your'n and lay down thar side of your
big sis.
I Louder.]—Don’t you bear me, WilUam
Henry? Come here to me this minute and
wash them pizen black feet of yourn and lav

don't try to take up all tbe room and spread
5 outsell all over that ar pallet, for your aio,
Liy-ll/n’s got to pile in thar somc’rs.
Caledony gin a groan and rolled over to tbe
edge of the pal let. The olo ’oman run her
pi;>e in the ashes and tack a smoke, then
{flowed out the taller candlo and left it smokin’
aml'went to bed. Then little Grover Cleveland,
six months old, who had slept through all the
racket, as quick as things got quiet, waked np
and begun to “wack-wack-wock,” and Caledo
ny gin another groan.
Alter a little everything got still agin and
Caledony tuck a notion she’d git on tother side
of tbe pailet away from tho child that was
likely to have a spasm. She give Rob
ert F. Lee a shove and he workod
bis way off’n the pallet up into the
smutty fire place and sot np a yell.
“Git up from thar Robert E. Leo, and git
yourself Wk on that ar pallet 'fore I stomp
the life out’n yon—(but he cried on.) I lay 1
ran put von hick,” and his mammy riz in the
dark and piled him over in amongst ’em, then
come down on Cal with a rousin slap. “I
mought er known! your sis, May-liza'wouidn’t
rest tel she kicked you off n this pallet.”
It's me you’re hitting,” says Caledony
“Don’t-oh. don’t, it’s me. I tell you, it’s me.”
“Yes, I know it’s me.” says old Mias Rain-
rrow, “mud it’s me I’m after;
you been a tonaentin yonr little
buddy all day, and a rackin' for a whippus’,
nrd you air not a gwine to re«t till you git it
New Joy still and shet up your mouth.”
I tell yon Cal bushed quick, aud I hcarn the
boys in the shed room snicker.
About tbe time everything got quiet agin
little John T. Morgan rolled over tother chil
dren and turned Ills heels loose, kickin’ Cil in
tbe face. It was pitch dark—and sho yelled
rut, “This child’s got a spasm—he’3 gotasua'-m
I tell you—he’s got a spasm—come and git
him, he’s got a spasm.”
Old Miss Ra*incrow riz quick and struck a
light and tuck the young’on in b<5d longer her,
rndCalwss sorry she .hadn’t thought of tho
spawn goonrr.
It was not. long tell day. when the ole crce

tbe bath plum full of sweet taters, baked some
corn dodgers in the skillet, hrlled some fat
rrmt on the coals, and made some coffoo oti*’ n
parti: meal. . _ „
The«.dllun fretted and whined around all
the time and and the old ’oman scolded.
Annt Nancy aud maw sot and smoked ther
i’pes. Aunt Nancy sho lowed to old Miss
Raincrow, “Hits monstrous hard on a body to
take kecr of so many chillnn.” “Not so

Very I*oor Economy,
Borne people make a business of cheating
themselves, either by eating very mean and
cheap food, or else by eating too small a quan
tity of good food. Either way is as bod policy
as it would be to buy a coffin instead of a suit
of good clothes, Just because tho coffin would
cost less. Foor diet means impoverished
blood; and that means misery. Brown's Iron

WARNER’S safe CURE
CURES AND WHY.
COAGMION OF TIIE KIDNEYS, B1CK ACHE.

C.t.rrb of tho BIad(t«r, Gravel, stone
Dropty, Enlarged Prostrate Gland, ’
Impoteccy or General Debility,
Brlght’a Disease.
"WHY? Because it is tbe only i-eui.‘«
tlj- known that tins power to expel the urlo
arid and urea, of which there are some 300
grains secreted each day as the result of
miuculnr action, and sufficient if retained iu
the blood, to kill six men. It is the direct
cause of all the above diseases, a- well a, of
Heart Disease, Rheumatism, Apoplexy, l’a.
ralytis, Insanity and Death.
This great specific relieves the kidneys of
too much blood, frees them from all irritants,
restores them to healthy action by its cer
tain and soothing power.
IT CURES ALSO Jaundice,
Enlargement of the Liver. Abscess and Ca
tarrh of the Bile Ducts, Biliousness, Head
ache, Furred Tongue, Bleeplessness, Lan
guor, Debility, Constipation, Gall Stones,
and every unpleasant symptom which resalts
from liTcr complaint.
WH Y? Became it has a specific and
positive action on the liver as well as on tho
kidneys, increasing ilia secretion and How of
bile, regnlates its elaborating function, re
moves unhealthfnl formations, and, in a
void, restores to natural activity, without
which health is an impossibility.
IT CURES ALSO FcraaleCom-
plaints, l.encorrhnn, Displacements, En
largements, Ulcerations, Painful Menstrua
tions, makes Pregnancy safe, prevents Con
vulsions and Child-Bed Fever and niil3 na
ture by restoring functional activity.
"WHY? AU these troubles, as is well
known by every physician of education,
arise from congestion and impaired kidney
action, causing stagnation of the blood ves
sels and breaking down, and this is the be
ginning and the direct - cause of all tbe aU-
ments from which women suffer, aud must
as sorely follow as night does the day.
"W H Y Warner's Rife Cure is acknowl
edged liy thousands of our best medical men
to he Ihe only true llood purifier, is because it
acts upon scientific princi pics, striking at the
very root of the disorder by its action ou tho

were kept In health all the morbid was to
matter so deadly poisonous If retained hi
the body, ia poised cnt. On the contrary,
if they are deranged, tho acids are taken up
by ilic blood, decomposing it and earrpiiig
death to the moat remote part of the body.
"WHY 98 percent ofaU diseases which
affiict humanity, arise from impaired kid
neys, is shown by medical authorities. War
ner's Safe Cnre, by its direct action, positively
restores them to health and fall working
