contemplate upwards of 2000 2060 vowels ves vos feels are lost on tile tiie average yearly on our coasts alone this thia number seems enormous and the reader will lii ill wonder what must be the total amount of wrecks throughout the world if this little inland island alone is the scene of so much disaster but it must bo be remembered that unless ships frequent a coast there can be u wreck wik wi k and it will therefore be seen that it is is in consequence of our overwhelming maritime mara time activity that our hore hore are so wreck w reek reck strewn when the leader reader is informed that upon the coats coat coa eoa t of great britain and ireland one third of all the maritime casualties throughout the world occur he will probably be astonished nevertheless such is is the fact these isles are the common focus of the navies of the habitable globe wind and ships annually leave ien len e and enter our ports most of these have to pass shores either rockbound or fe fearfully a raully obstructed by outlying sands the very nar names ft es of which are sounds of dread to our seh seamons mons mens cars with all these traps on the path of the seafaring community the prevalence of wrecks at certain seasons of the year P cannot annot be w wondered at but it certainly is is astonishing that BO so many coll collisions inions many of which are fatal to both ships should occur in fine we weather athen ather and broad broad we cannot for instance ilaine imagine two men crossing a desert and running up lip against each cac hother other against their will m yet this is what actually occurs on the ocean desert to ships every day in tile the year espee aspee especially itally in the bright summer weather with the vast increase in our steam marine and with the introduction of the powerful lights which steamers carry simulating the brilliancy of those in lighthouses light houses we can understand collisions taking place in the night time but in fair daylight such a cause cannot be assigned as an excuse for running into the very teeth 0 of f destruction how TO prig PRESERVE enve erve A BOUQUET A florist of many years experience sends the following receipt for preserving bouquets to the american artisan when you receive a bouquet sprinkle it lightly with fresh water then put it into a vessel containing some soapsuds which nourish the roots and keep the flowers as good as new taue take the he bouquet out of the suds every morning and lay it sideways in fresh water the stock entering first into the water keep it there a minute or two then take it out and sprinkle the flowers lightly by the hand with pure water roylance replace the bouquet in the soapsuds an and the flower flowers will swill bloom up as frescas fresh as when gathered the soapsuds need to be changed every third day by observing these rules a bouquet may be kept bright and beautiful for at least one month and will still longer in a very passable state but the attention to the fair but frail creatures as directed above must be strictly observed or the last rose of summer will not be left blooming alone but will speedily perish HOW TO RELIEVE BELIEVE THE EYE erom FROM SPARKS A gentleman connected with the press lately got a cinder in his eye from a locomotive which caused great pain he was relieved in half a minute without further pain by the following process A friend raised the il upper p br lid on the inner surface of wh which I 1 c the mote or speck of dirt will almost invariably be found to adhere then push the lower lid up over the eyeball eye ball and under the other letting the upper lid close upon the lower when the eyelashes of the latter will brush out the foreign substance almost certainly on oil the first trial no pain is experienced nor can call any possible injury be done to the ert eyt eleby aby this process while lethe fhe common method of pushing a pinhead pin head wrapped in the corner of a handkerchief under the lid causes great reat

will pay liberally where the son of a marquis will haggle and fight and seem oppressed because unless his accounts are wrong he has paid for his pennyworth a penny ny and the fifth of a farthing nobody inquires about prices or biggles about wages or resists exaction so sternly as the man of a year nobody refuses so determinedly to pay a tutor ot 0 a secretary more than the market rate or has so keen an appreciation of the discount which ought to be lie allowed for ready money nobody is so slow with his bills or cares so little whether those with whom he deals think him mean or not n ot
