Nothing gives mc greater delight than to paddle out a mile or so from shore, and there lie on my oars dreaming, marking the play of sun and wind an the water, and watching the vessels md steamers glide by. In July and August. 1S0S, I passed l few weeks in a Connecticut shore town not many miles east of New Eaven. To this city my skiff had been tent down by*steamer from New York, md I had rowed her from New Haven _ * ' fearbor to the mooring in a cove near xiy boarding place. The joy of that ifternoon in the free air and sunlight :an be appreciated only by a man who, v like myself, had been poring over ledger columns in a back office for Sight hours a day for ten months. A irescent of big blisters adorned each >f my palms at the end of the trip, out my nerves were tranquil and I tfept like a log that night. The next day the thermometer registered between ninety and 300 degrees, md up to 1 o'clock in the afternoon it was too warm to do anything but 2rowse in a hammock under the apple I trees behind the house. I got an early Hipper, and just before sunset pulled Dut into the sound. Soon I was beyond the tree-tops set up to mark the bounflaries of the oyster beds. Tiie water was uuruweu. i^ast ana west dawn either shore to the horizon moved a long, broken procession of tags and steamers, staining the cloudless sky 'with their Mack smoke. The few sailing craft in sight were motionless, their sails hanging idly in the still air. Farther and farther out I paddled, the soft dip of the oars sounding pleasantly in my cars. The sun dropped below the horizos: the red of the west darkened and disappeared, and it was x - night, with myriads of stars reflected on the glossy blackness of the sound. Lamps began to sparkle along the shore, while masthead lanterns and r&l and green running lights told the position of moving steamers whose hulls had become invisible in the gloom. I stopped rowing and established myself comfortably on my back in the A bottom of the boat, pillowing my head on the bow. The cool darkness, the salty fragrance of the ocean air, the gentle motion of my skiff, and the distant sound of bells and whistles from passing steamers and the land all induced a peaceful drowsiness, which soon lapsed gradually and imperceptibly into a dreamless sleep. I must have been unconscious for two or three hours when the rocking 'of the boat awoke me. Cramped and stiff from my slumber in the night air on the uncushionc-d boards, I started up to find myself enveloped by a thick mist, which covered the sound like a blanket. It was not very deep, for the stars shone faintly through it, w but all other objects were cut off from my view. There was no wind, but an ocean swell, rolling in from the east, was stirring up quite a sea. + ' Although without a watch, I knew that it must be well on toward midnieht. It dawned on me that I had. been and stili was in a very dangerous position, not because I expected any trouble in finding the land, but _ because I was in the track of tugs and steamers. I shivered at the thought of the peril to which I had been exposed while asleep. Beneath that shroud of mist my skiff was invisible to a lookout, and might have been, crushed like an egg shell by some steamer's , prow without a soul on board being the wiser for it. Shipping my oars, I listened to the whistles speaking to one another through the fog. The general course of all the vessels was east and west. If, without endangering myself, I could approach a tow of barges near enough to see which way they were heading, I could then determine the quarters of the compass; for if the boats were loaded I knew that they would be going east; if light, fheu west, on their way back to New York. Oo-oo-ooh! Oo-oo-ooh! The increas^ ing loudness of a whistle to my left ^ told that a tug was swiftly approaehp*" ing. Lying on my oars, I waited, prepared to row forward quickly or back water, as might be necessary. Nearer and nearer came the tooting, and I eould hear the rush of water beneath the unseen prow, and the puff, puff of steam. Suddenly, twenty feet away, appeared a black stem, nosing rapidly through the fog. It was a little too close for comfort. As the tug swept by I caught a glimpse of a tow-rope dragging over the stern, and judged from her size that she probably had two coal-laden barges behind her. I could hear the voices of the men on board growing fainter in tbe distance. Annt-liov lilar-fc- nliQnfnm nicsfd was the first barge, loaded low in the water; after her at an interval came another. As they were loaded I knew 52v*? that they were heading east, and that the shore therefore lay in front of me. I settled myself on the thwart and braced my feet for the row in. So interested had I been in my calculations that I had barely noticed a confusion of whistles that occurred shortly after the passage of the tow. Hence I was altogether unprepared, after my third stroke, to hear another boat approaching through the fog from the opposite direction. 1 backed water vigorously, just in time to escape being run down by a tug that was making the water fly as she dashed westward, ? the Mash ct ft r*jps? aud ERSEHENI sk?H Lowell. loans the same as the French "Au revoir'' id of the solemnity of the English word >nce. and sometimes even now, solemn, iy %'Owf vce-der-saia."

It passed so near that I backed another stroke to be out of the way of the one which I felt sure was following it. Soon I heard another tow-rope whipping the surface, and a second barge the size of the first swept by. I listened for several seconds, but hearing no further sound, I bent to my oars again, feeling sure that there were no more barges. I had gone perhaps thirty feet when something struck the bottom cf my skilf. A large cable rose squarely beneath the boat, snapping it into the air. As my boat dropped back it fell stern first and capsized, throwing me ont. When I went under I lest my grip of the oars, and on coming to the surface again I moved my hands frantically about in the hope of finding them. Two or three inches above the water my fingers encountered something round and wet, and closed about it like a vise. It was the cable which had capsized me. A third barge had been towing after the other two, and its hawser had proved the cause of the disaster. Higher and higher it rose, lifting me above water until I was only waist deep. The waves rippled against my body as I was dragged along. I caught a last glimpse of my oars and waterlogged boat drifting away in the fog. Then they were swallowed up and I was left clinging to the sodden rope. I did not dare let go of it to attempt to regain my skiff. Indeed, so confused was I that the idea did not enter my head until the chance was gone. The hawser began to sink again. Lower and lower it fell until I was submerged to the neck. Deeper It went, and deeper still. I had no choice but to let go, unless I wished to be dragged under. I released my hold and was left struggling in the waves, paddling to keep afloat. Should I abandon the cable and strict o:if for <sPoro*> T tvnc nof n strong swimmer, and the land was a mile or two distant. To start for it in that fog would be suicide, as I should soon lose all sense of direction and circle aimlessly about until I sank. My only salvation was to keep near the rope, so that I might grasp it when it rose. Once let me lose that, and I should drown or be run down by some passing boat. Up came the hawser again with a snap, catching me violently across the chest. Regaining my hold with difficulty, I was lifted up, up, until only my legs dragged in the water. Then down I sank again, till the rope passed below my reach in a line of phosphorescent bubbles. This could not last forever. If, after the cable had sunk, the barges should make a turn and pull it from beneath me, so that I could not regain my hold when it rose, my position would be serious indeed. Every time I let go those twisted strands my life hung in the balance. I saw that the only thing for mo to do was to make my way at once to one of the barges before my strength became exhausted. The boat behind was of course the easier to reach, for she approached me a little every time I let go the rope. Splash to the right! Splash to the left! The hawser was rising again. Once more it lifted me into the air. Before it sank I had worked myself some feet toward the barge. After it was gone I paddled in the same direction. Again and again I did this. An easterly wind was rising and the water was growing rougher. The fog still clung to the surface. Far up and down the sound the whistles blew con tinually, some faint and distant, others louder and nearer. My fingers were numb from clutching the coarse strands. At last I knew that I was drawing near the barge. The cable no longer sank beneath my reach. I could hear the rush of water before the prow. And now the rope was above the surface altogether. High in the air above me a blunt stem loomed through the mist. It was the barge at last, with the cable rising at a sharp angle and disappearing over its bow. Wearied by my efforts I felt that I could never climb that steep slope without help. I shouted, but my voice could not be heard above the rushing foam. Despairing at last of attracting 'the attention of anyone on board, I saw that my only chance was to ascend the hawser. I was fairly strong in the arms, and had it not been for my previous struggles the feat would have been an easy one. In my present state, it seemed a tremendous task; but 1 had no choice in the matter. My life liung on my power to lift myself hand over hand. If I let go, the barge would ride over me like a marine car of Juggernaut, drowning me at once. I began the ascent. The rope tightened, lifting me so that my toes barely touched the water. Again it grew loose, and I was submerged to the waist. I was now fairly in the spume in front of the boat. Inch by inch I drew nearer. Once i ?,i T l more me uawser ugmcuKu, iiuu x uuug suspended over the surge boiling before the prow. It slackened, and I was thrown against the stem. This continual motion was my worst trouble. Had the rope been perfectly still I could have climbed much more easily: but it was a dead lift, and every inch cost me untold agony. Over and over again I gave up all hope of being saved. Then I would resolutely put out of my mind the thought of the entire distance, and focus my whole attention on the handhold immediately before me. When by a heart-breaking effort I bud gained that, X fixed my aim os tha gggt, !Q Ifavti UtUt by little I progressed, crawling upward with snail-like slowness. At last I was almost up to the "chocks" through which the hawser ran; but my strength was utterly exhausted, and I knew that I could never clamber on board. With one supreme effort I raised myself so that my head came for an Instant above the bulwarks, and looked into the eyes of a deck-hand who was not more than three feet away. The consternation and terror on the man's face would have been ludicrous under any other circumstances. For a moment we remained staring at each other. I was too weak to speak, and lie was too frightened. Then I began to slip back, still clinging desperately to the hawser. The end of a boathook reached cautiously out over the bow and moved down toward me. It caught the back of my shirt and I did not mind that it ~T'WTT-r-s--tjurmighM drew blood. Indeed, I did pff [inj- jn. stant my fingers relaxed tlieirhoT7TrwH<i_ I lost consciousness. I afterward learned that my preserver would have been unable to get me on board but for the opportune assistance of another bargeman. I spent the greater part of the next day in a bunk on board the barge at a coal clock in Hoboken. But the following morning found mo little the worse for my adventure, and I went back to Connecticut that forenoon for the remainder of my vacation.?Youth's Companion. OUR THREE CREATEST CANONS. Yosemlte, YclloirRlono r.nd Grand Canon of the Colorado Compared. The justly famous Grand Canon of the Yellowstone is, like the Colorado, gorgeously colored and abruptly countersunk in a plateau, and both are mainly the work of water. But the Colorado Canon is more than a thousand times larger, and as a score or two new buildings of ordinary size would not appreciably change the general view of a great city, so hundreds of Yellowstoncs might be eroded in tho sides of the Colorado Canon without noticeably augmenting its size or the richness of its sculpture. But it is not true that the great Yosemite rocks would be thus lost or hidden. Nothing of their kind in the world, so far as I know, rivals El Capitan and Tissiack, much less dwarfs or in any way belittles them. None of the sandstone or limestone precipices of the canon that; I have seen or heard of approaches in smooth, flawless strength and grandeur the granite face of El Capitan or the Tenaya side of Cloud's Best. These colossal cliffs, types of permanence, are about 3000 and GOOD feet high; those of the canon that arc sheer arc about half as high, and are types of fleeting change; while glorious-domed Tissiack, noblest of mountain buildings, far from being overshadowed or lost in this rosy.spiron canon company, would draw every eye, and, in serene majesty "aboon them a' " she would take her place?castle, temple, palace or tower. Nevertheless n noted writer, comnar In? tho Grand Canon in a general way with tho glacial Yosemite, says: "Aiul the Yosemite?all, the lovely Yosemite! Dumped down into the wilderness of gorges and mountains, it would take a guide who knew of its existence a long time to find it." This is striking, and shows up well above the levels of commonplace description; but it is confusing, and has the fatal fault of not being true.?John Muir, in the Century. Insurance Against Surgical Operations. In England people of moderate means are beginning to insure themselves against surgical operations. The plan is that subscribers who pay an annual fee shall be entitled either to free admittance to a hospital or nursing at heme and a free operation or to a fixed sum paid down to defray the cost of an operation if one becomes necessary. In England, as here, the cost of surgical repairs to the human body has become oppressively great to persons who just manage to pay their way. People who arc obviously poor get a great deal of excellent surgical and medical treatment in hospitals and elsewhere for nothing, but for the next class above them a serirknes llliiocc?ocnor-ifillv if if involves vug iiiiivuu wv?n**vi v - ? ? . ?an operation?is almost ruinous. It would seem as if the time was near when societies for insurance against specialists might he profitably organized in the larger American cities. The specialist has come to be a very important?inded, an indispensableInstitution, especially to families in which there are children. The office of the family doctor has now become simplified to the task of coming in and telling the patient which specialist to go to. It is not that specialists charge too much, for their honorable services are above price. It is that landlord, butolier, baker, grocer, milkman, coalman, dentist, and trained nurse do nci leave you money enough to pay them appropriately. To subscribe a considerable sum annually and have all the repairs and desirable improvements made in one's family without further disbursement would be a comparatively simple way out of a troublesome predicament.?Harper's Weekly. Not Far Wroiijj. The story is well known of Eliot's translation into the Indian language of the passage from the Bible, "The mother of Sisera looked out at the window and cried through the lattice." Not knowing the Indian word for "lattice," he tried to get the Indians to help him out, and described a wicker framework. The Indians thought they recognized his meaning, and gave him the word. Afterward Eliot found that he had made the mother of Sisera j cry though the eel-pot. A similar difficulty in coaxing a definition frcm the untutored was met by a school-teacher. She was trying to make the children define the word "bovine." "It applies to an animal," she said. "Can any one tell me what animal?" There was the silence of confessed ignorance. The teacher began to throw out leading hints. "The animal that gives us meat." Still silence. "And shoes," she added. No light broke on the twenty puzzled countenances. "And the straps that you carry your books in." "Oh, I know," cried a young voice, with explosive eagerness." "Well, James, what animal is it?" "Father!" Discovers a Itiver in Canada. W. J.

This is Hie St. Lazare Prison, in the Pme du Faubourg Saint Denis, and with it will disappear one of the oldest buildings in Paris. It was founded about the end of the eleventh century, and was first used as a hospital for lepers. About 2(532, leprosy having almost completely disappeared from France, the Prior of the Canons of Saint Victor, who owned the building, handed it over to St. Vincent de rani. It was here that that famous monk died. The room in which lie breathed his last was transformed into a chapel, and is today the oratory of the Sisters of Mary and Joseph, who look after the prisons. During the early days of the Devolution the convent was sacked by the mob. Three years later, during the Terror, it was first used as a prison and was one of the ante-cliambers of the guillotine. Andre Chenier spent the last days of his life here. The Consulate first established the St. Lazarre Prison as a prison for women, a use to which it has been devoted ever since. There is only one escape on record, that of an Englishwoman named Kate riee. She was first imprisoned for six months for complicity in the robbery of a jeweler's shop in the Palais Poyal. When her sentence expired she was expelled from France. She returned in 3S7M and was again arrested for theft and sentenced for a long period of imprisonment. One day about 4 o'clock it was noticed that Kate riee had disappeared. The prison was searched from top to bottom and finally her prison dress was discovered in a wooden box. It transpired that she had by some means or another obtained possession of a nun's dress, and, thus disguised, had managed to make her way to the street. How she managed to get past the various gates and iron gratings, which are kept locked night and day, is a mystery that was never explained. In 1879 there was a woman confined at St. Lazare who was known as the "doyenne." She was then ninety-nine years of age and had been arrested 1 IS times. Another prisoner, who 'filed there some years ago, was born on the 9tli Thermidor of the year 1G of the J first republic.?Golden Penny. WORDS OF WISDOM.

The dimensions of the Grand CanyoD of the Colorado have been the subject of much discussion ever since it was first explored. It may therefore be of interest to give some recent figures from the United States geological survey. The average width from rim to rim does not exceed ten miles throughout the Ivalbab, or widest section of the canyon, and frequently narrows down to eight miles. The river does not occupy the middle of the gigantic trough, but flows at a distance varying between one and three miles from the south side.

The depth of the Grand Canyon, in one way, has been overstated, in another, understated. Measured from the south rim the total depth is considerably less than a mile. From the rim at the Bright Angel Hotel, where the altitude is g3gG feet above sea level, to the high water mark of the river at the foot of the tourist trail, the drop is 4430 feet. The highest point on the south rim at the Grand View Hotel is 749G feet, about 4900 feet above the river. From the north side, however, the drop to the water level averages considerable over a mile, and :n many places even exceeds G000 feet. It may be stated in a general way that the north rim is from 1000 to 1200 feet higher than the south, thus producing that high, even sky line so striking in all views obtainable by the tourist. Itainboir Colored Uniforms. From all accounts, the recent experi ments made at Aldersliot for conceal ing the positions of gums in the field, by painting them with daubs of the primary colors, red, blue and yellow, seem to have met with extraordinary success. Six guns so bedizened were placed on the Fox Hills, and at 3000 yards, although the direction in which they lay was known, it was found impossible to locate them all, even with field glasses. Some horse artillery sent forward to engage them were unable to find them until they had advanced to within 1000 yards, by which time, in actual warfare, the gaily covered guns would have probably made short work of them. The streaks of color are splashed on, rainbow-fashion, and the result is to cause the guns to appear as part and parcel of the landscape, even at a short disi-A | lautL', Once this principle has been adopted I for artillery, what reason is there to | suppose that it cannot be applied to I the uniform of men in the field?
