THE YELLOW FEvER.-As the Nor
folk Trginian says the breaking out Of
yellow fever GA board the United States
ship Plymouth is very startling fact.
and goes far to unsettle what has here
tofore been coneidered estabIished-that
cold kills the germs of the disease. The
ship had yellow fever on board last fall
and since then has not only been fumi-
gated and disinfected by all the appri-
aDces of science but was exposed to the
inten Sc cold of New England winter.
1t appears that the ship was intention
ally exposed to the cold for the purpose
of destroying the spores of the disease.
Yet when the ship started out this
spring and got into warm climate,
though it had never approached any
port and was two hundred miles out at
sea, the yellow fever made its appear
ance again in the exact part of the ship
in which it broke out last summer.
1t is possible that the warmth of some
parts of the vessel was such as to keep
the frost out, although the process of
freezing and Eliminating had been gone
through with. The circumstances at
tending this case should be thoroughly
Investigated.

MARRIAGE OF THE MIDGETS.-The

that it would occur in New York City
On last Sunday. The groom weighs nine
pounds and is fourteen years old, and
the bride weighs less than five pounds,
and is fifteen years old.
The New York Sun says the marriage
Is one of convenience az well as suppos-
ed affection The dwarfs, belonging to
different families, are liable to be sepa
rated at any moment. It is thought
best, therefore, to bind them by ties that
cannot be broken by SHOW managers or
disagreeing parents.
CUSTODY OF CHILDREN.-The late
Legislature passed wise law, author
izing Circuit Courts, where the hus-
band and wife are separated, to order
that the iother may have access to her
minor chi dren, and to commit, in GER
tain cases. to the mother the custody OF
children under seven years of age; pro
UiGed, that where the mother has been
convicted of adultery no order shall be
made under this law.
