The membership of Baptist churches
in Massachusetts is said to average
one hundred and seventy to each
church. Of the one hundred and
seventy, fifty-three and three-fourths
on an average are men and one hundred
aud sixteen and one-fourth are
women. The same proportion is said
to hold good in other States. One
reason given for this state of things is
that necessarily ministers see more of
the women and children than of the
men and boys, have more influence
over them, and naturally preach too
much to them and not enough to tlie j
men.
Une of tue stimulating enects 01 xne
war already appears in the increasing
activity in American shipbuilding. r\t
the various yards along the Delaware I
River orders have been placed within
the last month for thirteen new vessels?several
of them to be of the
iargest size engaged in the merchant
service?and contracts for "five or six
Dthers are under consideration. In
the Maine shipyards, at Newport
News and on the Pacific coast there is
a growing prospect of similar prosperity,
and it is not unlikely that the next
year will witness an extraordinary activity
in all branches of marine construction.
The close of the war
marks the beginning of a new and
prosperous era m iuo aiubimu mwchant

Says the Philadelphia Times: "It is
nearly sixty-seven years since the
death of Stephen Girard. Thanks to
the wise benificence which inspired
the disposition of his large fortune,
the good it was designed to do grows
with the lapse of years. The college
he established is now educating and
maintaining some sixteen hundred orphan
boys; the funfl he left for the
improvement of the harbor is now being
applied for the construction of
modern wharves and a broad street
along the water front, of which the
city of Philadelphia will have reason

public benefit from Girard's wisely
bestowed bounty is the transformation
of his old farm in the southwestern
section of the city into a public park."
Ensign Rowland Curtin, of the converted
yacht Wasp, who with a boat's
srew captured the city of Ponce, Porto
Rico, is a grandson of Andrew Curtin,
war Governor of Pennsylvania. When
the Wasp entered the harbor of Ponce
the Ensign went ashore in a boat
under a flag of truce. A great crowd
was gathered on the water front, and
nnfil was assailed with cicars and
pineapples he did not know whether
he was meeting an enemy or a friend.
He demanded that the military Governor
of the place come to him at once,
and declined to go to the Governor.
He then sent this message to the
Spanish leader: "I demand that the
city of Ponce surrender within half an
hour or I will bombard the place."
The Spanish soldiers fled ike town.
Curtin is a small man hardly past his
twenty-second year. The Curtins are
living up to the family tradition.
r According to the last census the
value of the agricultural products of
the United States for the census year
was $2,460,107,454, and the number
reported a^l engaged in agricultural
industry was 8,565,926. Dividing
the value of the agricultural products
by the number reported in the census
tables of occupations as engaged in
this industry, we have the average
value of the product per worker as

live stock and implements is reported
as $15,982,267,689. Computing in- j
terest on this amount at but five per
cent, and allowing ten per cent, on
tlie value of machinery and implements,
for repair and renewal of the
same, and deducting the amount from
the product, we have remaining 31,611,569,324
as the earnings of 8,565,926
agricultural workers, making the
average earnings 8188. That the
average earnings of the agricultural
class was rather less than more than
$188 is shown by the investigations of
the statistician of the Department of
Agriculture, Mr. J. H. Dodge, who
has made nine extended investigations
of farm wages and discovered the
average wages in 1890 to have been,
with board, ?12.54 per month; without
board, 818.34. This is for men,
and for pay while working, while the
figures above are average annual
earnings for all classes, though less
than nine per cent, of the workers reported
are females

A Terrible experience In a Cuban Forest
In the Coils of a Hugo ConstrictorSaved
by a Boyish Habit Hair Turned
Cray in a Single Night.
Five years ago .Tames F. Burns was
working as a plumber in Colorado
Springs, and thanking his stars that
he was able to earn $22.50 a week. Today
he is worth between eight and ten
"millions ot dollars, ne is ine president
of the Portland Mining Company,
the richest concern of the kind in
Colorado, perhaps in America. And
he is thirtv-tive years old.
Twice before he was a rich man, and
twice he lost all he had. His third
fortune, he says, nothing can wrest
from him.
It was in Cuba that he had a terrible
experience, and if you hear him tell of
it, see the beads of perspiration that
form on his brow, tho agony in his
voice, you can understand how real is
the memory of it.

miles from Cienfuegos, where the
foliage ami underbrush are denser than
on any other part of the island. He and
some companions were looking for a
. suitable place in which to start a sugar
refinery. One night, when the heat
was almost unbearable, he left the tent
and went to a spot about a hundred
yards distant, where there appeared to
be a better breeze. He made his bed
and fell asleep. It was just before
daylight that he felt that he was awake,
although he was really having a nightmare,
to which he was more or less
subject. Tou shall read his own
words:
"I felt that I was in the basement
of a building twenty stories high, and
that it was gradually sinking upon me.
j rv?
Every avenue of escape was cut on.
The walls appeared to be cutting into
the earth like a knife. I lay there paralyzed
with fear and the sense of helplessness.
I could not move hand or
foot.
"The stone floor above me seemed
to sink an eighth of an inch at a time.
Nearer and nearer it came until I
could touch it above me. 1 shouted.
There was no noise, no creaking,
nothing but a horrible silence and
the siuking of the building.
"I could no longer stand erect. I
lay on the ground and waited, now
and then shrieking in terror. I saw
the old farm. I saw my mother
standing at the kitchen door.

more swiftly. I stretched myself
prone upon the floor. I could teel
the weight upou my head and chest.
No human being can know the awful
agony of it. I felt myself plunging
into the abyss of death and?then I
awoke.
"The wakening was more frightful
than the dream. I found myself iu
the coils of a huge boa constrictor.
The monster snake had wound coil
after coil about my body and was
slowly and surely crushing the life
out of me.
"I tried to raise my voice. The
pressure about my lungs made my
voice as weak as a babe's. I could
see the slimy thing forming another
coil and drawing tighter and tighter
about me.
"A boyish habit of curling my left
arm under my head for a rest while I
slept saved my life. My left arm was
free. The other was in the coil of
the snake. I reached for my hunting
knife, which was in my belt, forcing
my hand over and around the body of
the snake. It seemed hours before I
could reach it. Then it was but the
work of a moment to sever the constrictor's
body. Even then I was not
free. It was half an hour before I
cut the coil from my body. I was
drenched in blood.
"When I went to sleep that night
there was not a gray hair in my head.
That morning it was as white as you
see it now."
Burns left Cuba soon after that experience.
As he expresses it, he
found that luck was against him and
the extortion of the Spaniards was
| more than he could stand.
Some Shark Stories.
A good shark story comes from the
West Indies. "A large steamer," the
diver relates, "had struck on a reef
and then slipped off into deep water,
taking down with her the mails and a
valuable cargo. There were some
papers that were particularly wanted,
and I was in the chart-room under the
bridge working for them when suddenly,
as I turned, I saw the wicked
snout of a big shark close to me. It
was a nice lix to be pinned up in the
corner of a little square room with a
big brute between mo and the door.
i went creepy nu over, 1 can ten yon.
But I kept still and so did he, except
that he worked a finhzily, like a screw
steamer holding on against the tide.
I got the knife in my belt loose, and
waited. The shark evidently did not
know what to make of me, and gradually
drifted over to the other side of
the room. I began then to move towards
the door, and had almost
reached it when the shark made a
second rush in the same direction?
and disappeared. Which of us got
the bigger fright I don't know."
But encounters with sharks don't
always end so. Some years ago an ;
English diver, who was at work on a J
sunkeu wreck oil the island of Diego j
Garcia, had a visit from the same
shark every day for a week. At first
he had no trouble in scaring it away;
it was enough if he gave a turn to the
ocoono.mlvfl in Ilia helmet ftlld let Ollt !
a little air. But at the end of the week
t it had become very troublesome. The
diver signalled for a knife and a looped
rope, and then boldly held out his
bare hand as a bait to the shark. The
monster came on with a rush and was
turning on its back when it was
Itt^be4 hj- tli? dive^ whe &eo
the looped around its body and sent it
up to the surface. A cool head should
certainly be included in tho equipment
of a man who seeks to earn his
bread in the sea.
The story is told of a diver who saw
two ghosts, "full fathom five" under
the surface. He had gone down to
the wreck of a large steamer, and was
crossing the main saloon when two
gray suarivs 01 enormouu size niuio
shambling towards him. He did not
wait to make notes for the Psychical
Society, but gave the danger signal
aud was at once pulled up. Told in
the cheerful light of day, it seemed
rather a lame story; and another diver
went down to see what he could make
of it. Towards him also came the
shambling gray shapes. He stood
irresolute for a moment, and then going
boldly forward, struck his hatchet
through?a mirror! The ghosts were
only a dim reflection of his own legs,
much enlarged, of course, as everything
is that a diver sees through the
great frontal eye of his helmet.
Lost in the Desert.
In "The New Africa" Doctor Schulz
describes the horrors of thirst in the
case of his companion, Harnmar, who
became separated from the party and
wandered all day without water over
the dry, hot sand belt of the South
African desert.
We had been expecting to overtake
him all day, and as night drew on Ave
became much disturbed at his absence.
We fired the gun, the signal agreed
upon if either of us Avas lost, but there
was no auswer.
The boys Avere gloomy. They said
that men lost in the desert Avere subject
to a kind of pauic, and once overtaken
by this feeling, never halted till
exhaustion coumelled them.
In half an hour the gun was again
discharged, and so on at each halfhour
till half past ten. But no answer
from Hammar. Then, after the eleven
o'clock signal-gun, joy of joys! We
heard three shots tired in rapid succession,
about two miles out.
I Grasping my gun and singing out
to Chiki to bring a big calabash of
water along, I rushed off in the direction
of the shots, and soon was delighted
to see a lire blazing in the distance,
to which I hurried as fast as
my legs could go.
i, There lay Hammar by the fire,
prostrate from exhaustion, so utterly
done that he could not put one foot
before the other, but still alive. His
face looked like a piece of wood, and
was so pinched and dried up that he
mAnU tmvo lioan rpf?norni5rpfl hv a
casual acquaintance, and it was days
before be regained his usual appearance.
He bad sat down to rest beneath a
tree at dusk, aud bad loosened bis
cartridge belt. When he beard our
first signal-guu faintly, be found with
dismay that his belt was missing. It
was dark, and be bad gone a long distance
from the tree. He turned about
and made bis way cautiously back to
the tree in the greatest anxiety lest be
should miss it.
Luckily be found it, and the cartridge
belt lying where be bad dropped
it. Then be retracted hi3 steps, waiting
for the signal-shots, which kept
him in the right direction.
Falling over tree-trunks and into
boles, he finally became so exhausted
that^lie fell over a log and lay still,
wishing that something would happen
to end his tortuiiug thirst. The niuethirtv
o'clock shot boomed louder than
before, and he arose and staggered
on.
He would have fired, but feared his
shot would cot reach us. At eleven
o'clock he fell, unable to move farther.
During the last half-hour his thirst
had gone and he only wanted peace
a sure symptom that he was near a
crisis.
Hammar had been on his feet sixteen
hours, and as we reckoned it, had
covered between sixty and seventy
miles without touching a drop of
water.
Two Men's Courage.'
There are no physical limits to
heroism. The man who seems, through
natural disabilities, least capable of
acting tlie part of a hero, may show
himself the man for a daugerous position.
Such a man has deservedly
found a place in a list of recent
heroes. He was in a burning house
in New York, and he alone, of all the
inmates knew his danger. But he was
blind. To save himself was surely all
that could be asked of bun.
August Ahrens did not think so.
True, his eyesight was gone, but his
manly care for others had not gone
with it. More than twenty persons
were asleep in the house. To save
himself and leave them to perish was
not his idea of even a blind man's
duty.
He groped his way to the fire-alarm
and turned it on, and then set about

with which be could not have beeu

A young eusign on the Montgomery

to contend with when be lately saved
the life of a sailor, but be bad some
serious disabilities of costume, for be
was in full uniform. The sailor bad
fallen overboard, and could not swim.
He was fast beiug carried away from
the ship, when the young ensign, regardless
of the danger of the attempt,
all hampered as be was, sprang iu after
mm. it was a narci ngm, out iue
man and the sailor were drawn up,
though more dead than alive.
The young officer may show much
future heroism ifl destroying the lives
of his country's enemies, but the fight
in which he won by saving a life instead
of taking one, required as much
courage as any he will probably ever
attempt.

Miss Nannio Sampson.
Miss Nannie Sampson, the third
daughter of Admiral Sampson, who
lives at the family home in Glen
Ridge, N. J., is, in appearance and in
truth, a typical American girl. Possessing
in a marked degree her
father's ability and cleverness, yet,
unlike the reserved and dignified
Admiral, her manner is at once frank
and open. A round, girlish face, with
a mass of brown hair rolled away fiom
the forehead, a laughing moutn and a
pair of roguish brown eyes looking
from beneath long lashes, is but au
indifferent pen picture of the young
lady, for what a picture cannot portray
is the abundant vitality and exuberant
spirits which characterize the
subject.
Miss Nannie Sampson views life
through rose colored glasses, and,
while duly appreciating the risks incurred
by her brave father at the front,
yet she enters into the enjoyment of
her surroundings with the zest and
abandon of a schoolgirl; and, indeed,
she is little more, having just completed
her education with a year at
Wells College.
Just twenty-two, she is one of four
daughters by the Admiral's first wife.
The two older sisters, formerly Miss
Margaret and Mis3 Katherine, are
married into the navy, being the wives
of Lieutenant Kay Smith, of the Indiana,
and Ensigu Kichard Harrison
Jackson, of the Foote. The younger
sister, Miss Ulive, just turned twenty,
will shortly be married.
Owing to the changes incident to
the life of a naval officer, Miss Sampson's
education has been a varied one.
She has attended the institutions of
learning in the various towns in which
she has lived, which in the nature of
things has been intermittent.
The Smart Wives of Farmers.
One of the sights that show plainly
the place of the American woman is
familiar to persons who have passed
their vacations |in the country. "It
is more eloquent to me," said a man
who had passed several weeks in the
hillu nf P.nnni>/>l!(>nl "than nil thfl l*fl
ports of debating societies, women's
clubs and temperance unions that
could be bound together in a year.
Driving along the country roads will
come a young farmer. The horse,
the wagon and the man will show plainly
that he is a small farmer. Probably
he wears a pair of dust-covered overalls
that make him look like the poorest
of his hired men. But the woman
who sits beside him in her smart shirt
waist and trim sailor hat would not be
out of place on the beach at Narragansett.
He would staud a mighty poor
show there if he appeared in the clothes
in which he is familiar to his neighbors.
But the young woman has learned
from the summer boarders how to
dress herself just as they do, and she
is usually able to stand well the comparison
with them. If there happens
to be a baby in the wagon and there
nanallv is nn? it will resemble the
warwM-ay "" " " ? ?
mother and not the father in dress. It
will be as much done up in laces and
ribbons as the city babies that are'trying
with their nurses to get its complexion
and ruddy beauty.
"It is only Sunday that the father
is likely to show that he has come at
all under the influence of the city visitors
in the matter of dress. He may
show it then in the way his scarf is
tied. But the manifestation is never
more apparent than that, and seems
ixnder these circumstances to be a suggestion
of his wife. But so far as she
and the baby are concerned, she has ,
learned her lesson from the influence
of the summer residents, and can live

The Country Toilet. <
Among the prettinesses of the country
toilet is the floral parasol, that (
is as perishable and attractive as the
flowers it represents. When opened, j
a floral sunshade illustrates either a
huge peony, rose, poppy or sunflower.
Large petals of silk are cut out aud 1
artfully adjusted to a foundation of
silk, and about the ferrule end puffed 1
yellow chiffon represents the golden
heart of the flower. Vivid scarlet i
poppy parasols are most popular,
mounted on black staffs, tipped with (
gilt. Palpably for companionship with
such sweet frivolities aro the picnic
hats made all of silk muslin, either '
shirred onto frames of wire and
trimmed exclusively with bows, tufts
and pompons of the same goods, or
built like the parasols to represent a ]
flower. The floral hats have wire 1
frames, and to the net that covers the
wire is made fast a clever design of i
petals. The petals are cut from Lib- <
erty silk and tinted. They overhang
and cover the brim, while a succession
of green silk calyx leaves close round
the crown and crinkled inner leaves
that enclose the stamens. The flower |
hats are copies of those worn this sea- 1

son at chateau parties in France, and
from the samo source comes the commendable
fashion of trimming rough
green, brown and yellow straw* hats
with foliage aud fruit. For many a
long day we have all worn cherries
and occasionally grapes on our headgear,
but it has remained for this season
to ripen our military peaches,
plums, pears, apricots and currants
aud gooseberries, while already almost
common have grown the strawberry,
blackberry and raspberry hats. Usually
round coarse Lombardy straw
shade hats are used for this purpose,
and the foliage is massed on the crown
and brim with knots of fruit placed
wherever a tasteful fancy dictates. No
lace, ribbon or flowers are permitted
by an artistic trimmer, and as the
plums, pears and peaches are copied
only in miniature,their effect in decoration
is never heavy.
The Firut War Xarae,'
A short time ago Miss Florence
Nightingale, most famous of army
nurses, celebrated her seventy-eighth
birthday, and a memorial address of
congratulation was presented to her
by Americans in London and American
nurses, grateful for the interest
she has shown in tlTsir volunteer
movement in our war with Spain.
Miss Nightingale has served well
for more than the allotted span of
life, and now the heroine of the Crimean
war has come to lie all day long,
and all the days, in a shaded room in
her London home. It is a bedridden
existence, but it i3 one made beautiful
by the light of .other days. No
one forgets Florence Nightingale, nor
t - _ e j.
uoes sue lorgei.
Her room is always littered with
new books, magazines and papers
bearing especial reference to the
womanly art of nursing the sick. She
herself writes pamphlets on the subject
still, and pencils and note paper
are as abundant in that sick room as
is printed matter. Health and youth
have failed her, but not the old interest
and zeal. Now, as ever, she
shrinks from publicity. No reporter
or newspaper correspondent need
send up his card, but she is always
accessible and at home to any one
who is honestly interested in nursing
or care of the sick and who seeks her
aid and advice in this way. Encouragement
and counsel she has for such,
but never an interview has she yet
granted to a journalist. So it is easy
to see how deeply alive she is to all
matters concerning the American
nurses who have offered their services
to the United States Army and are
ready to serve their country in the
war with Spain.
From the first the aged heroine's
interest has been made manifest to
ward them, and hence the American
colony in London have in grateful
appreciation sent this memorial to the
cheery sick chamber at 5 Hyde Park
square, London W., for it is cheery,
and a loyal spirit dwells undaunted
there. She who has looked upon
death with fearless eyes is not abashed
at. the destroyer's drawing her to him.
A brave heart is the sublime test of
endurance.?Trenton (N. J.) American.
