Of course everybody knows the pop
ular black ami white check patterned
cloth "shepiwrd's plaid," but nlnety
uluo people of every hundred ascribe
the origin of this cognomen to some
connection v lth the pastoral personage
which is apparently indicfited. Indeed,
the description is generally written er
roneously by tailors as "shepherd's
plaid." Shcppurd was the manufac
turer who first introduced this fabric,
and he exhibited his invention at the
great exhibition of 1851. — London

Dealing In Futures.
"It is my firm belief." announced
Jasper Knox, the sage of Plketown-on
the-I'.Iink, "that tu the dim and misty
future there is a falut possibility of
some hitherto unknown Inventive
genius accidentally stumbling upon a
scientific formula, the compounding of
which, superinduced by a liberal and
proper administration of the same to
teething infants, will impart to those
necessary household adjuncts a sense
of propriety which will enable them to
comprehend the utter folly of keeping
tbeir overworked father awake half of

demands that he be up and doing when
the cuckoo clock proclaims the advent

THE ONE SURVIVOR
Great Disasters In Which a Soli
tary Life Was Spared.
TALES OF NARROW ESCAPES.
Curioua Cass of a St. Pierre Prisoner '
During tha Mont Pelee Eruption, i
Tha British Rotreat From Cabul—A
Tragedy of the Terrible Manacles.
There aro many curioua cases oa rec
ord where death In one of ita many
dread forms of disaster grips an entire
party in Its clammy embrace and then,
while Its Icy fingers close upon the
rest, lets one solitary member of the
band slip away to be the solo survivor
of the tragic calamity.
One hundred and flfty-elght dead, one
Bayed. That was in brief tlio tale of
the wreck of the mall steamer General
Chanzy, which struck In the terrible
storm of Feb. 10, 1010, on the rocks of
northwest Minorca.
Marcel Bader, the solitary survivor j
from tho wreck of tho Chauzy, owed i
his preservation entirely to the fact
that he was a strong and fearless
swimmer.
A few years ago tho timber vessel
Anna Rebekka, one day out of Memel,
was caught La a squall and capsized.
Most of her crew were swept away
and drowned, but three—the skipper, a
sailor and the ship's boy—clambered on
to the keel, where they drifted without
food or drink. On the third day tho
sailor was washed ofT, but the skipper
saved him. Then the boy went mad
and died. On the tlfth day tie sailor
was washed off again, and this time
tho captain had no strength to help
him. On tho seventh day the capsized
vessel drifted in sight of land. A life
boat put out and found the cuptaln
still alive.
Tho Manacles have seen many sights
of horror, but nono to excel that Janu
ary night many years ago when two
British troopships—the Dispatch and I
the Primrose—both went ashore on |
these terrible rocks within a few hours
of one another. Seven soldiers strug
gled ashore from tho Dispatch through
the crashing breakers and rou.sed the
village of St. Neverne. When the fish
ermen gained tho beach the Dispatch
had vanished. But there was the sec
ond ship—the Primrose—on the rocks.
They pushed out, but the doomed ves
sel wea shuttered to fragments before
they could reach her, and all that tho
boat brought buck was a fifteen-year
old ship's boy, whom they picked up
swimming desperately in the trough of
tlie Icy waves.
Perhaps the most terrible disaster In
modern British history was the retrerrt
from Cabul in the winter of 1S-12. An
arm}- of 3,480 soldiers, with over 12,000
:amp followers, started southward from
the Afghan capital under promise of
safe conduct. On tho following Jan.
13 a solitary figure, filthy, unshaven,
unkempt, his mind nlniost destroyed j
with tho horrors through which ho had
passed, rode out of the mouth of tho
Khyber pass. Ho was Dr. Brydone,
the only survivor from nil that mighty
host The bodies of the rest, slain by
the treacherous Ghilzals, lay scattered
for miles along the suowclad floor of
tho defile.
It was stupidity, not treachery, which
caused tbe disaster to n battalion of a
Japanese regiment In January, 1001.
On the 23d of that month a detach
ment of 210 men and officers, under
command of a major, left the town of
Awombrl for a long route march. It
came on to snow very heavily, and
soon a regular blizzard was raging,
with the temperature many degrees be
low freezing point
They lost their way and wandered
on, burning their rifle stocks for fuoL
By the 25th only seventy-one were left
alive. On the afternoon of the 27th
a corporal alone was picked up by a
relief party, alive but badly frozen.
At the end of April, 1902, Mount
Pelee, the blunt headed volcano behind
St Pierre, began to show signs of ac
tivity. These increased until on May
0 a little before 8 in the morning
there was a terrific roar, and a huge
column of whltehot sand, burning cin
ders and poisonous gases came rolling
down the mountain side.
Whatever that cloud consisted of, it
destroyed St Pierre completely. The
very stones were cracked with the aw
ful heat and within a few seconds 40,
000 human beings perished. Vet days
afterward, when the ruins were cool
enough to explore, a man was found
alive. He wag a negro prisoner who
had been confined in an underground
;ell and who. though scorched, scarred
and almost suffocated, still survived—
the only living thing In fifty square
miles.—London Answers.
Soothed Her.
Among the many stories about the j
bishop of London Is one told of him j
and a dying girl who trembled at the
thought of death. "Would you be j
afraid If I were to carry you into the I
next room?" he asked. And the girl |
shook her head. "Then why should
you be afraid of being carried away by
one who is ten thousand times kinder
and more loving?"—London Express.
The Change of Mind.
"What's the baby's name. Bill?"
"Algernon."
"What? I thought yon were going
to name him John!"
"Oh, that was when I still thought I
had something to say In the matter."—
