DA LEWIS, her oine, ” Is the way a stand.ml cyclopt--dia of famous American women introduces one of its 1.4T0 life sketches. The re inuinlng 1.409 hi (i g r a p h i o s tell alaiut actresses, pm-ts, authors, re formers, lecturers, teachers, preachers, doctors, law-

yers and society belles. When the slender, blue eyed, hrown haired daughter of the keeia-r of Lime Hock light disclosed a pen chant for dashing forth in a frail skiff, which she propelled with the speed of the wind, to rescue strong men whom fate somehow placed at the mercy of the waves, moralists, yvith a touch of facetiotisncss, exclaimed. ‘When* is the emancipation of women to end!’” for that yvas long ago, before some of the attributes attached to prominent names in the woman's encyclopedia were coined. Charlotte Corday, Joan of Arc and even Grace Darling wore hut faraway and altogether unlovely myths. Woman plying the dagger and ■word was dramatic, but horrible to con template, and woman plying the oar, even to rescue life, was coarsely amazon Ian. Whether the outbreak of the lighthouse keeper's daughter led to that wild stam pede of her sisters over the bars of conservative custom which has Ini n going on since the sixties Is a /juestlon, but cer tainly her exploits have served to point the moral forcountlessarguments in favor

of sex emancipation.

As the pioneer life saver and the one “heroine” among 1,470 famous American women Ida Lewis claims a place in the annals of daring deeds. Her lirst rescue was made in 1859, and the lucky beneficiaries of her girlish valor were four young men whose boat was swamped in Newport harbor. Ida saw the disaster from the lighthouse, put off in Iter skiff and helped the drowning wretches to dry land. Probably the reason that she didn't marry one of the crowd, again reversing the order of things, was her honest contempt for a man who couldn't swim. The next rescue was that of an intoxicated soldier whor-e plight was well deserved. Th< generous girl not only saved him, but let him off without acurtain lecture on the evils of drinking. Three ablebodied men were the beneficiaries of her next exploit. Their boat was swamp* d by a sou’wester, which, it, seems, hwl no terror for Ida, thoroughbred sailor that she was. A boat thief overtaken by a sudden gale was the next rescue. Ida found him clinging to the mast of the wreck.quaking with fear and praying with all the fervor of a discomfited sntan. A stormy day in March, 18(19, It was that revealed the Newport heroine to a world surfeited with contemplation of manly exploits on the field of Mars. Two soldiers attempted to cross from Newport to Fort Adams in a skiff managed by a boy. A sudden gale capsized the boat, and the boy was drowned. The soldiers clung to the keel and were finally rescued by Ida, who, as usual, was on the lookout and put off from the ris k in her lifeboat. In recognition of that exploit ti new Ixmt was presented her by admiring citizens, and General Grant, then president, made the gift in tht* name of the* donors. Jim Fis' - , Jr., ordered a boathouse built to shelter the ‘'Rescue'' and also presented the hero Ine with a silk Hag. Soros is elected her to membership and sent her an elaborate pin Itearing the legend, “Sorosis to Ida Lewis,

Heroine.”

Ida Lewis' name was long ago placed upon the medal of honor roll of Uncle Sam’s life savers. She was the first of her sex to receive the gold medal, which was awarded to her in 1881. Up to that time she had saved 13 lives, and nearly all of the rescues had called for great daring and hail involved the risk of her own life. Her last achievement before receiving the medal was the rescue of two members of the United States military band of Fort Adams. They were crossing the harbor on (he ice, and when near Lime Rock lighthouse the ice gave way beneath them. Ida heard cries for help, seized a line and run to their aid. There was the double danger of her bcin" pulled into the hole by the struggling, half frantic men and of the sound ice breaking beneath the combined weight as she stood upon the frail edge hauling at t he shore end of t lie rope.

IDA LEWIS (WILSON). that time thm- rescues have been placed to the credit of the heroine, making 16 in all. One medalist who was not a man, neither a woman, but a more girl, was placed on the noble roll ahead of Ida Lewis. This was Kdith Morgan, a silver medalist of 1880. Three other girls wear the silver medals. Two women have received the gold medal since Ida's was awarded, and several have received the silver medal, hut the brave girl life savers, according to the last report, number but live. Kdith Morgan, the very first medalist of her sex, was living at the life saving station at Grand Point an Sable, Mich..where her father was keeper, in the spring of 1878. On the23dof March, duringunortheasterly gale, when the sea was breaking heavily on shore, two men were seen out itt the lake, clinging to a capsized boat. The navigation season bad not opened, and the life saving crew was absent front duty. The only persons at hand were Captain Morgan, one son, grown to manhood, another who was but a lad and Ills daughter

Eiuth, then in her teens, i nese tour put off in a common iishing boat, which the ls>y steered while the men and Kdith stood to the iMirs The united strength of the three could not force the bout through the breakers, and the crew reluctantly put back to shore. The oldest son then went away for help, and Edith went to work with her father to clear a path for t'no heavy surflmat through the mass of driftwood which blix-ked up the beach. Heavy logs and limiters were rolled out of the way, and when help reached the ■ccnc all was ready fora speedy launch. Then Edith took her place again at the oar, and after a desperate struggle with the breakers rescue wax accomplished just in time. The weather was intensely cold, and the men, struggling in the icy lake, were chilled almost to a point of helplessness. The next girl medalist was Edith Clark, a pupil at tile convent in Oakland, Cal. At the age of Ifl she reacued a schoolmate in a situation calling for remarkabe courage and perseverenee. A party of girls were wading in the narrow edge of Like Chabot, a deep mountain tarn which serves as a reservoir for the city of Oakland, when the loose earth of the hank gave way, and one of them, who could not swim, slipped down into the water where it was lio feet in depth. Kdith Clark was some distance from the scene, on top of a hill above the lakeside. Seeing the disaster, she plunged down the slope and struck out for the drowning girl, who sank twice before site reached her. Edith was a swimmer, but the weight of her water soaked dresses, together with those of the drowning girl, handicapped her strength and movements. However, by swimming and treading water alternately, she held the head of her eompHtilon above water until a lake steamer crossed from the opposite side rind completed the rescue. The remaining two silver medalists wen* men* children when they performed the rescues which placed their names on the roll of heroines. In the summer of 1883 a pleasure boat was cruising in Gardiner's bay, ixmg Island, when a sudden gust of wind swept the boom out of the control of ihc sailing master and carried a little girl 7 years of age into the water. A young man jumped overboard and for some

VARIOUS FORMS OF ROCK WORK. Employed In the Construction of the Kock Hint Alpine Garden. A rockery is one of the forms of the natural garden. A rockery of any extent is formed generally into a jsort of amphitheater. When no assistance is given by the undulations of the land, the soil is thrown from the center into rise beds around the outsides. In these grounds water is almost necessary. It does not require more than two feet for

THE RESCUE HY LITTLE MARIE PARSONS, time kept the child’s head above water, but the little one was so frightened that she clung to his neck and disabled him for swimming. Meanwhile the wind carried the boat beyond reach. The accident was seen by little Marie D. Parsons, who was herself only 10 years j of age. She promptly launched a skiff and rowed a distance of 300 yards, reaehingthe 1 spot just as tho strength of the would be rescuer was giving out. He was barely able to climb into the boat when it reached him and declared that the chances of life both | for himself and the child in his arms de j pended on the skill and courage of little j Marie. The last of the live bravo girls is the } heroine of a triple rescue. On Aug. 21, | 1888, a fishing yawl was capsized in | Charleston harbor, South Carolina, by a 1 furious squall, and three men were left struggling in the water. It was during a steady sou'wester, and a heavy sett was on. ! One of the men clung to the ovetturned j boat, and the others were carried by tin* < title against the piles of a wharf, where they managed to sustain themselves in J spite of the buffeting waves and sent up | cries for help. The in cident took place in [ front of Castle Pinckney, where there hap pened to be at the time no one but little I Maud King, the 18 year-old daughter of a sailing captain, tier mother and her aunt, •) Mrs. Mary Whitely. Aroused by the cries of the imperiled men, Maud hurried to the wharf, lowered a boat from the davits without assi stance and got into it alone.! Her mother tried to check the rash and, as | she believed, hopeless enthusiasm, but the | girl was unflinching and prepared to put j off to the rescue. Then, partly tinder the | inspiration aroused by the young girl’s j show of courage and partly for the protec- j tion of her niece, Mrs. Whitely joined Iter, j and the two heroically struggled through ! the breakers and reached the luckless fish ermen just as they were on the point of sinking from exhaustion. Both Mrs. Whitely and Maud were granted the silver medal ! for the fearless and difficult rescues. Besides the four silver medalists whose stories have been told one received the ! awanl for a rescue In 1890. This was Ma j bcl Mason, who saved a man in the Detroit I river after his boat had been overturned I by the swash of n passing steamer. The heroines who shun* with Ida Lewis t he honors of wearing gold medals are Mrs. I Edward White and Bertie (). Burr. Mrs. White risked her life in the breakers off \ Copalis, Wash., to save three sailors front ! the British bark Ferndole, wrecked In Jan- ; nary, 1892. Miss Burr rescued, with great bravery, two companions who ventuml be yond their depth while bathing in Blue river at Lincoln, Neb. The men whoso names appear on the roll of honor ' are chiefly members of the | life saving corps or sailors, and their deeds j of valor were performed in tlio line of du- j ty. The heroines acted on tho spur of the j moment regardless alike of conventionalities and of danger. George l. Kilmer.

ROCKERY CONSTRUCTIONS, general purposes, but quick running water is the essence of rocky scenery. TVater plants require their full portion of soil below this level, but must be used sparingly, so that the beauty of the water itself may be revealed. Rockeries are intended to develop plant life. They are arranged to hold soil for plants by suspending masses above masses, showing more plant life impressions in given space than any other style of arrangement. American Gardening illustrates and describes six forms used in rockery construction. Rock walls are formed on the principles shown by Fig. A. Soil and plants are held on their surface by being built on the “pigeonhole” system. These vary in size and form. Rock walls are built i to hold “pockets,” which are really min-; iature tablelands. (See Fig. B.) When earth is required to be held perpendicularly to a height of 20 feet, more or less, rock binders are used, as shown in Fig. C. The ’’ties” shown are cemented together into the wall, which prevents | them from bulging out. Rock tables ! Pll.OH , Tq ’YffV- y,

Randall's Chicago army will not move for some days. Hi* is forcing out tough characters. General Galvin is allegisl to have deserted in Ohio to avoid arrest as a leader and will resume command. The original army Ita-s been feeding on hardtack and poor coffee for two days and is grumbling considerably. "Unknown” Smith has a small crowd at Rockville, Md.. where Coxey marches today. He will try and effect a truce. Oregon industrials have caused no new developments since the onier was issued to hold United States troops in readiness. Valparaiso (Ind.) business men havestibacribed a fund and offered the fairground* to comiuonwealers willing to come that way. Chief of Police Moore of Washington says the army can parade down Pennsyl vania avenue, but cannot enter the capitol grounds. House military committee at its last meeting before the arrival of Coxey’s crowd failed to consider an application for army tents. General Frye is not delighted with his Indianapolis reception. Ministers and business men invited to call on him ignored the request. Coxey will march his men toBrightwood park, two miles from Washington, and rest until Tuesday. On that day he announces it as his purpose to inarch into Washington and up to the capitol steps. Detectives sent to drive Galvin’s army away from the ii. and (). road near Mt. Sterling, O., met with resistence ami were dared to light. Unless otherwise ordered by the governor an attack will be made today. When Kelly's army reached Casey, la., it found only a lone flasket of bread and a solitary package of coffee ami a cool reception. and the men’s spirits sunk. Kelly telegraphed an appeal to Omaha to forwartl supplies.

ROCKERY CONSTRUCTIONS, (see Fig. D) are used for specimen rock plants. Rock pillars are built to show plants suspended above each other in profusion. (See Fig. E.) Ferns are often very effective in these arrangements. Rock arches (Fig. F) show how plants are arranged to stand over pathways surrounding the visitor. Rocks for plant growth should Vie of a soft nature for roots to cling to. These large rocks mixed with medium sized stones are convenient for building. The large flat stones are often useful to help hold the soil and plants in suspension above each other. Small stones are occasionally used around the edges of these large stones to hold the soil, as is shown in the rock table.

PRISONER OF URUGUAY. Attempt to Uvavu* I>:« Gainii Itather llutiely Interrupted. New York. April 28.—The Herald's Montevideo dispatch says that a party of Admiral Da (Tania's friends rescued him from the Portuguese transport on which he was held a prisoner and started for shore. The Portuguese guards were sound asleep when the admiral was taken from the transport. In the attempt to land, the party were fired at and stopped by a Uruguayan gunboat, and Da Gama is now a prisoner of the government of Uruguay. Grant’s Bii-thilay Anniversary. Pittsburo.

A Fan of the Sixth Ontury. The oldest Christian fan in existence dates, it is claimed, from the sixth eon fury, having belonged to Queen Theodelinda, the princess who posscsstil a nail of the holy cross, which afterward was set in the iron crown of Lontlinrdy. The fan is preserved in the castle of Monza near Milan and shown to the tourist as a relic. It is a folded fan, made in two leaves, which shut on each other by means of a spring. It is gilded and ornamented with pearls and rubies and boars traces of a Latin prayer. The handle is of solid gold, inlaid with gents.

Hanging liaoketn. Only certain kinds of plants are suitable for hanging baskets. Such as are of low, compact growth, to cover the surface, and such as are of drooping or trailing habit, to hang over the sides, are best for the purpose. A writer in Vick's Monthly advises as follows: For the center use some graceful plant of upright growth. In setting the plants in hanging baskets a layer of moss at least one inch in depth should be spread over the bottom and sides. To have the plants bloom freely they should be hung where they will be exposed to the sun at least two hours every day, and in dry weather they need copious watering. A good plan is to dip the whole basket in water until it is thoroughly soaked. It can be allowed to drip before being again hung

up.

Panicum variegatnm is one of the most valuable plants for baskets or vases. It is a species of grass, with variegated foliage. The ivy leaved geraniums are adapted to hanging baskets. Charles Turner is a favorite variety of the ivy leaved geraniums. Nasturtiums are adapted to hanging baskets. All the varieties of oxalis are pretty grown in earthenware baskets, and wire baskets lined with bright green moss are especially suitable for the different varieties of tradescantia, or “wandering Jew." A New Sweet Pea. American Belle is the name given to a distinct new pea, which shows an important departure from the coloring and markings of all other varieties, being neither striped nor mottled, but spotted. The standard is clear, bright rose of uniform coloring: wings of crystal white, with bright purplish carmine sisits. The flowers are large, of good substance and finely formed, while the standard does not have that tendency to droop so common in other large flowered varieties. Of such good substance are the flowers that they remain perfect and keep well in a bouquet for a long time, thus rendering this variety desirable for cut flowers. While it makes a splendid display when blossoming, its full beauty is not rightly appreciated until subjected to close examination, when the handsome markings and coloring are revealed. It belongs to the very early flowering class of sweet peas. While it is one of the very first to blossom, it is also a generous bloomer and continues bearing abundantly for a long season, showing a hardy and vigorons irrowth.

A BUTTERFLY THERMOMETER, onf. Cover tho back wings with pale yellow crape paper, pasting it around tho edges on the wrong side and drawing it into shape by small stitches at the body part of the foundation, so that tho crinkles will till run lengthwise of the wings. Cover the front wings, folding tho edge which laps over tho back wings so they will look distinct from them. Pasle around the edges on the wrong side and gather tho paper into the body with stitches. Roll a piece of cotton for the head and the upper part of the Itody and cover with the crape paper, tying it in tightly at the head with gold thread and attaching a fine gold wire to the head for the feelers. Border the edge of the wings with gold paint, and place large blue water color mid gold spots on the wings as indicated, and shade the wings from the body with

sepia.

Tack a thermometer, such as comes for fancy work, over the body, and line the whole with plain tissue paper, either placing a dress ring at the back to hang it by or attaching ribbon under each wing for that purpose. C'harartpriHtics of Favorite* Peart. The distinguishing qualities of certain favorite pears are thus tersely given in Meehan's Monthly: The Seckel is the sweetest of all, but the tree is not an early bearer. Clapp's Favorite is the largest early pear, ripening the middle of August. Sheldon is not overhandsome, but there is no lietter late autumn pear. Belle Lucrative bears good crops regularly. It is juicy and sweet and of fair quality, even before ripe. Anjou is I a splendid winter jiear, but the fruit is liable to blow off before it is ripe. For ! canning purposes Bartlett leads. Keiffer is excellent for canning. As dwarfs (on ; quince) the following sorts thrive well: ! Angouleine (always first as a dwarf), i Louise Bonne, Anjou, Brandywine, Belle Lucrative, Superfine, Seckel, Tyson, Clapp’s Favorite, Lawrence and JoseI phine de Malines.
