Last week seven brave sailors out of a crew of twenty-two distingulshed themselves by sticking to the ship, after the caotain and the remalnder of the crew had deserted the ship. The stcamer Santurce came into col- lision with the oil tank steamer Li- gonier off the New Jersey coast. The whole after part of the Santurce was under water in a moment. The water covering the decks clear to the main- mast. There were twenty-two men on the vessel when she was struck. Six- teen of them promptly leaped for the Lizonier and got aboard. The oil tank dropped a boat to take off the six men left, the first mate of the San- turce, who had been one of those to ieap, going along, The six declined the help and their first mate joined them. The other vessel disappeared in the fog. The crippled steamer was left alone upon the waves, utterly helpless had the wind risen, a death trap if the sea had come up. But the 2even men stuck by her, &nd Into port they brought her, bows high, stern un- der water, a mere semblance of a boat. he world loves brave men as well as it loves a lover. These were true mariners who by standing at their post in peril took the Santurce into port, which was much better than deserting her as a derelict and leaving her adrift to imperil the great liners of the ocean.

The question of holidays is likely to become serious as the fashlon grows of honoring this or that person or his- toric event by the sacrifice of a day's work. There must be limits, for in the ature of the case onl 5 such annual tributes can be paid. But why should all memorials be annual? For the minor events an observance once in 10 years wculd be quite adeguate honor. Ana why need obsegvance of o day m volve idleness? B 'y family has its own anniversaries, sad or joyous, it observes without breaking routine of its duties. Work ought be regulated, not by sentimental stives, but by the mest careful con- sideration of the good of the greatest number. It concerns not the dead, but the living and those vet to live. Foli- days are as important as work days, but they ‘should be measured and placed with regard to productive ca- pacity and recuperation, not fitted ar- bitrarily to dates associated with his- torical events. Unless this principle is adopted and firmly adhered to there is danger of having the year encumbered with memorial holidays introduced to meet the demands of some limited class—one such concession being apt to lead to another as an offset.

The latest details received as to the wreck of the Atlantic transport liner Minnehaha, which went on the docks of the Scilly Islands several days ago, and which is lkely to prove a total loss, indicate clearly that the cause of the disaster was the prevalence of a heavy fog for several days. This is the most serious condition with which a navigator has to deal, worse than the heaviest storm in the open se During a fog almost nything is apt to vccur from a colMsion to running on the rocks. In the Minnehaha's case the captain had been uneble to ac- curateiy locate his position by obser- vation for some time, and because of the impenetrable fog the landmarks could mot be seen. Despite the greatest care and the ob- servance of every precaution, navigat- ing in a fog is a most dangerous pro- ceeding and the avoidance of accidents is as much a matter of good fortune as of experience and skill. The loss of a great liner is a serious matter, and the captain of the Minnehaha will have maysd Rupture Can Be Cured A NEW CURE FOR RUPTURE NEW PATENT SCIENTIFIC AP- PLIANCE, ALWAYS A PERFECT FIT.
