RESCUED IN MiD-,OCEANI. The Passengers and Crew of the 11lFated Danmark Saved by the Steamship Missouri. - G : COPENHAGEN, April 22, —A telegram from Lisbon to the United Steamship Company announces the safety of the crew and pas‘gengers of the steamer Danmark. The good ‘tidings reached Lisbon from the Azores. It is stated that every one who was on the Danmark is safe, and that only an engineer ‘was injured. Some of the passengers arrived at Lisbon Sunday, a number are on their way to New York and the remainder are still at the Azores. TasßoN, April 22. —Forty-two of the crew of the Danmark and 340 passengers have arrived here. Mr. Raben, the first officer, who is among them, reports that April 4 the Danmark’'s shaft was broken. The next day the disabled steamer met the steamship Missouri, from London, March 28, for Philadelphia and Baltimore. The = Missouri towed the Danmark ‘until the 6th; when the latter seemed to be about to sink. At first the Missouri was ‘only able to take aboard twenty of the Danmark’s passengers, but afier having thrown over a portion of her chrgo she found accommodations for all the crew and passengers of the Danmark. The ‘Missouri then proceeded to the Azores and left there the first and second officers and 320 passengers. She then continued her journey to Philadelphia with 340 passengers and the remainder of the crew. The captain and three engineers of the Danmark left the Azoves the ' i4th for London. The Damnm'k‘was_ about 800 miles from Newfoundland when the accident happened. Some say that ‘the engines broke down. Engineer Kaas was found dead in the engine-room after the accident. The captain and three l engineers proceeded to London on board a steamer from Demerara. The sailors and ‘pas’sengers left at the Azores by the Missouri came to Lishon on the steamship Acor: The death of the Danmark’s engi- ' neer was due to the bursting of an engine pipe. Theengineer was killed on the spot and the ship was badly damaged. In con- | sequence of this damage, together with the t breaking ot the shaft, the vessel was helpless in the heavy seasthat prevailed. l' DELAWARE BREAKWATER, Del., April 22-3 a. m.—The steamship Missopri, from Lon- ' don, has just arrived. It is supposed she has on board a large number of the passengers of the ill-fated Danmark.

The Missouri is anchored a distance of from three to four miles from this station. The sea is too rough to ‘admit of boarding the steamer before daylight with a small boat . : The Missouri is a new steel vessel belonging to the Atlantic Transport Line and has only crossed the occan a few times. She is described as being one of the finest and best built boats carrying the English flag. She is commanded by Captain Murrell, who has been trading between Philadelphia and London for the last six years. She sailed from London March 26 with a general cargo consigned to Peter Wright & Sons. The Danmark was sighted by the Inman Line steamer City of Chester April 8§ in latitude 46 degrees north and longitude 37 degrees west, four days, as it now appears, after she was disabled, and two days - after she was finally abandoned. The passengers on the Missouri will be senton at once to New York, and they will be given every attention by the Danmark’s agents and'forwarded to their destinations. Only steerage passengers have come on. The cabin passengers went to Lisbon, Spain, from the Azores. :

A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.

Four Children Killed by Their Father, -~ Who Then Suicides. :

AppisoN, N. Y., April 22. —Fmnk Hancock, employed as fireman in a saw-mill at Blue Run, Pa , a small town near here, was found dead Saturday morning, having hung himself to a rafter during the night. In bed in the ~same room lay the ‘dead bodies of four of his children, two with their throats cut and two . stabbed through the heart, but the fifth an infant, lay sleeping quietly in a cradle, unharmed. His wife was away spending the night, it is claimed, with a sick neighbor. Domestic trouble was +the cause. At the inquest Saturday afternoon the wife testified that her husband had been unduly intimate with other women, and acknowledged herself as having been unfaithful to him, and that they had mutually agreed to separate on May 1. Hancock left a note saying: ‘lleave my watch for my baby, take care of him, and when ke is ‘grown up give it to him and say it is from papa.”” Hancock was known as a steady, industrious man and had never given any evidences of insanity. The five bodies will be buried Sunday at his former home in Babinville, Pa.

(2) Mount of Olives. , - INTERVENING EvENTs—Jesus asks the Jews a question (Markl2:3s-40). He teaches ] a lesson from the widows mite (Mark 12: 41- { 4).

What shall be the sign, etc.: Matthew ' (24:3) gives this question more fully, as applied to His coming, and the end of the , world. { Tar Srcoxp CoMiNG oF CHrlST—This was | one coming, including the whole Christian ‘ dispensation, but 1t was threefold. (1} At . the destruction of Jerusalem, when the old . dispensation of Judaism ended, and Chris- . tianity was firmly established. The com- . ing was promised to take place during the ' lifetime of some of the disciples (Mark 9:1; . Matt. 16:27, 28; Luke 9:26, 27). This was a . real personal coming. (2) There will be a i similar, more complete coming when the . world shall be converted to Jesus,and His kingdom come. This, too, is a real personal coming to which all the *‘signs’ given in ‘ this lesson apply. (3) A coming at the day {of judgment (Matt. 25; 1 Thess.4:l3-18). _ 8. Many in my name: great numbers in the | next forty years pretended to be the Mes{siah. 8. Nation against nation: Palestine ! soon after this was full o? wars, and the éßoman Empire was full of disturbances. .

(See Acts 11:28.) { For a testimony, not against, but unto, them. i By these the Gospel would be made known. 10. Gospel . . . among all natioxs: this was ;trué before the destruction of Jerusalem. ! (See Rom. 1:8, written A. D. 58; Col. 1:6, . 23, written A. D. 62). 13. He that endurgth i till the end shall be saved must mean (1) that ; those Jewish Christians, who, despite all 'seductions and persecutions, should abide - steadfast, should be delivered from the na- | tional calamities; (2) that those who should :endure the greater tribulations of the last days “unto the end” should ‘“‘escape all ,those things that should come to pass’ i (see Luke 21:36) ; while it may be univer- . Bally applied to me n (3) that every one, in ,every age, who should endure to his own ‘ ‘‘end,” i. e., death, should be saved:. Saved: every Christian, heeding Christ’s warning, escaped from Jerusalem, and not one was among the 1,100,000 who perished there.

| CoamveNTs—Calamities Foretold. God al- . ways gives warning before He strikes. iNoah was a preacher of righteousness to his generation for one hundred and twenty ! years before the flood came upon the earth. { The men ot his time could not plead that . they had received no warning. The Israel. { ites had many years.of solemn warning bei fore they were sent into bitter captivity. . God says that He sent shem prophets, ‘“ris‘ing up early and sending them’’ to warn ; them of the certain and sad end of their i idolatry. Asa Jesus sat once on Mount Olivet, He mourned over the city, and de- " clared thatoften He would fain have gath~ered her children as a hlen gathers her . brood under her wings, but they refused ' His gentle offer. At last, all gentle offers - being scorufully or carelessly rejected, ' there came the announcement of bitter ca- ' lamities. These were not, however, inflict: ed for forty years more. Had the nation _repented, even at the eleventh hour,they ! would have been raved. : ! These calamities of which the people, were forwarned, remind us of other grea' - warning lights which are hung out in the . Word of God. To all sinners God calls through His Word, bidding them repent, The curtain is- drawn aside by Jesus Him: self, and the future is revealed to us. Heaven and hell, life and 'death, blessing and cursingg are clearly made known. Jesus foretold the calamities about to befall | Jerusalem no more ciearly than He hag | foretold the sorrows which await the impenitent. ‘ Calamities Fulfilled. To drown the in- - habitants of a world was an awful thing, Yetwhen the time came,judgment failed not. To send a nation into captivity, with all which that experience involved, was a fearful deed. Yet when the time of long suffering came to an end, God’s threatenings were -carried out to the letter. To doom the city of Jerusalem tothe horrors of the siege by the Roman army was a dreadful act. Yet none the less was the city overthrown with a terrible destruction. In fact, the infliction of any scevere penalty is a thing dread‘ful just in proportion to the magnitude of -the suffering involved. Men may ftlinch when the time to inflict the penalty comes. But since God’s penalties are only just, He never flinches. All nature teaches this. God never flinches in nature from exacting the last penalty of a broken law. In the kingdom of grace, God has, indeed, shown : His mercy in bearing Himself the penalty of a guilty race. If now they refuse His mercy as' thus manifested, there remains no more hope. : ;

i PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. i 1. Spiritual things endure, temporal ones perish. :

2. All that Jesus promises or threatens will be accomplished. ¢ . 8. Take great care not to be deceived. 4 There must be great upheavals and + commotions before the good can subdue the evil. ;

5. Persecutions and oppcsition call attention to the Gospel truths. : 6. We must preach the Gospel in all the world. . . 7. Perseverance in the Christian life is the proof Lthat we are Christians. :

FARM AND FIRESIDE.| —The first silo was erected in this country in 1876. Since then 6,000 have been built. The silo is no longer an experiment. ' —Water should never be used that has been held in a lead pipe all night, and it should be allowed to run freely before any is taken for use. —-For vermin on sheep use snuff or very fine tobacco. Dipping sheep is cruel, and should never be practised except when all other modes fail.. ; —Replanted corn does not, as a rule, bear large ears. The reason is that the plants are too much shaded by the earlier plants. It.islike raising corn under the shade of a free. ; —Dip the fowls’ feet and legs in kerosene to cure them of lime leg, or scurvy leg. Three such applications will cure the worst cases. Usually two applications are enough. —The tendency to pack together in cruets and containers, may be entirely overcome by thoroughly drying the salt and intimately mingling with it & small percentage of dry corn starch or arrowroot.’

—The fruit crop is doubling every ten years, and attendant evils have also increased. Insects are more destructive than ever. There are 220 different kinds of insects that prey upon the apple. ’ —An English writer of great experience, and a close observer, in writing of a tour of inspection of the agricultural interests of the United States, says: “If American stockmen used more roots and less corn they would have to pay fewer visits to Europe for breedIng animals.” ' B

—lf the farmer will remember what it is to be hungry himself he may sometimes have a kindly feeling for his young stock. If he add thereto the thought that long fasting adds no meat to exposed stock he may feel his pocket touched, for in the spring if the young things look well they will bring double the money that other fellow’s will who took no care of his. , '—The valuable elements of corn are starch, sugar, gluten and oil. Southern corn contains most starch. White corn: contains about seventy per cent. of starch. Sugar corn has but little starch and this is the cause of its shriveling. Yellow corn has the most oil and a large per cent. of gluten. - The hard or flint kinds contain the most gluten and the soft the most starch. Small kinds contain:the most oil. - :

—Pot Roast: Put a thick piece of beef, with a little bone and fat, an onion, and. if liked, a sliced carrot, over the fire in a pot; just cover with boiling water. Put on a tight lid and boil gently for four hours, replenishing the water as it boils away véth just enough to keep the meat.from/ ing, so that there will be hardly ahy water left; when it is tender turn occasionally, and let it brown in its fat when done. Take the meat out of the pot and make a gravy with the drippings; pour over the meat and serve.

COOKING VEGETABLES.

| A Culinary Accomplishment Possessed by l But Few Housekeepers. : ! There "is probably no subject on ' which housekeepers so often differ as ' the preparation of vegetables. The ~commonest of all vegetables, the ‘ potato, is cooked with cold and boiling - water with equal success. Others in“sist that to steam them is the better l way. This entire matter should be regulated by the season of the year and the variety of potato. some varieties becoming waxy and werthless boiled in cold water, even when they are old. All the advantages gained by cooking old potatoes in cold water may be gained by soaking them in cold water before cooking for four or five hours with their skins on. If they are then cooked in boiling water they will have | lost the strong taste perceptible at this season of the year, and are in no danger of becoming water soaked. All root vegetables, after the Ist of January, are better for soaking six hours in cold water before cooking them, unless they are kept in a dirt cellar during the winter or buried in earth where ey will not freeze. Another point of difference in cooking is the adding of salt. Old-fashioned cooks boiled all - their vegetables.in salted water, but modern science does not sanction this, and most of the best cooks add the salt to all delicate vegetables after they are nearly done and to strong vegetables, " like onions and cabbages, before they are put in the water. The reason for this is that salted water retards the process of cooking, takes the flavor . from the vegetables. This is ruinous . in the case of a delicate vegetable like . green peas, but an improvement. to ' strong onions. One of the chief rea- ' sons in summer for the inferiority of vegetables is in leaving them to become old and toug® before they are

gathered. Too many gardeners, instead of a succession 6f crops of green peas, beans and other summer vegetables, plant their entire crop at once and insure a tough old supply during part of the season. No cook can prepare old peas, or any other overgrown vegetable, so they are fit for the table. Vegetables picked in the morning, with the dew on them, are superior to those gathered in the heat of the day, as every housekeeper knows. llf the vegetables gathered can not be used at once, they should be laid in & cool, dark place till the time for cooking. Perfect cleanliness in preparation, cooking only till the root or herb is tender, not a mement afterward, and serving with salt, pepper and sweet butter, or a simple cream sauce, will give the most satisfactory results. No exact schedule of time can be given.. This the housekeeper must learn by experience. Winter vegetables take usually twice as long to cook as sum‘mer, or three times as long if -they have become withered and dried. Strong, old withered vegetables, however cooked, are unfit for the table, f;ﬁf@iﬁé‘mémnz ‘else had better replace. R eboobt gt ot e gßt Sy el iwrl i S i e LN R B
