There does not seem to be any reasonable ground
for the opinions of certain Broohbn physicians
who hold that the cause of the typhoid fever IN
that town is to be sought in the water supply. As
was recently stated in these columns the Ridge
wood water is considered exceptionally pure, and
analysis showed that its quality III no way i'm
paired. Health Commissioner Raymond now says
that the water has been carefully examined daily
and that there is nothing in the general supply 10
indicate that 1t is responsible for the prevalence of
typhsld fever If thus did cause the disease tho
cases would not b. confined to certain sections but
would be generally distributed. Tho caGso of the
fever must be some local condition. But if people
think The water contaminated in any way. they
counteract any bad effects by SIMPLY boiling. THIS
might be a wise precaution any way.

was unfortunate for the whales, because no

There has been considerable complaint IN
Democratic circles of late about Republican
depravity which has shown itself, so the story
goes. in boycotting fourth-class postmasterS
appointed by Mr.. Stevenson, tine First AsSls-
tant Postmaster-G General This is OF course
very sad. But we venture to remark that there
are two sides to every story. For instance
the Democratic postmaster at South oaichi' Ill
Westminster County, says he has been " boy
cottedr-that the people will not mail thcr
letters in the Office, but give them to the driver
of the mail wagon. This sounds bad; but as a
matter of fact, this new Democratic official lives
two miles and a half out of the village, and not
ONLY was he an offensive partisan before his
appointment, but he was also an offensive cltl-
zen. Moreover, the action of the good people
of South Salem is not so much intended tomake
Mr.. Lyon unhappy as to secure the appoint
ment of another man whom they like.

~BoavoP SKINS are III the Iolo now,
and the Hudson Bay Company has got
rich on them" said fur collector.
1.-THE long run on sealskin continues,
but it has not the popularity OF the
beaver"
us there any prospect of exterminat-
ing seal:' asked the reporter. 81
BLESS you. no! Seals can never be
exterminated as long as the arctic circle
exists and keeps crowding them down
from sources where man can't reach.
The polar country breeds them in
swarms. Let me give you the rule of
determination. With the increase Of
population, the larger species OF wild
animals decrease, because they must
have a larger territory to roam in, but
the smaller kinds increase because they
require less space and receive more
from what they get on account of its
cultivation by man. We get better
quantity of small furs from the middle
states than the aborigines did. We get
limited number of remarkable-sized
furs from Alaska"
"When do your furs sell best?"
"Furs are sold at all seasons of the
year. OF course the great London
sales are in January. March, and June.
Furs sold there are sarely caught ex-
cept in January and February, but it
takes the Hudson Bay Company until
the following December to get them TO
London, where Americans have to pur-
chase what they want of their own furs.
Manufacturers do most Of their work
in hot weather, which keeps up sales
during that period. st
"a novel feature in the trade was in
troduced this summer. Up at Lake
George, ladies started the fashion of
wearing fur trimming during the sum-
mer. The fashion spread rapidly, to
the amazement of the dealers. This
and other causes led to an advance in
all furs."
"Any further incidents OF INTEREST,""
"Yes, the fur trade is exterminating
the bear tribe. The most valuable fur
is the Shetland seal of the South Seas.
It is nearly exterminated. The utmost
number of its skins taken in o year is
200. It is the only fur OF value from
the South, and sacque from it costs
from 5000 to 81 200, and jackets from
$3.50 to $400. The foreign skins used
in the United States are the Russian
sable, tiger, leopard, Siberian squirrel.
and ermine. "-Ne,C York Sun.

On FRIDAY, the 4th, l was very much
injured by my horse falling with me
and on me while was trying to get to

The night was one OF impenetrable
darkness. with rain pouring down in
torrents; nothing was visible to the eye
except as revealed by the frequent
flashes Of Lightning. Uader these cir

way back to the boat my horses feet
slipped from under him, and lie fell
with my leg under his body. The ex-
treme softness of the ground
from the excessive rains OF the few
proceeding days no doubt saved me from
a severe injury and protrac,ei lame
ness. As it was, my ankle was very
much injured so much 50, that my boot
had to I've cut of. During tie battle,
and for two or three DAYS after. was
unable to walk except with crntches.
During the nightrain fell il torrents,
and our troops Were exposed TO the
snow without shelter I made mr. head
quarters under tree few hundred
yards back from the river bank. Ny
ankle was so much swollen from the
fall of my horse the FRIDAY night pre-
ceeding, and the bruise was so painful,
that i could get no rest. The drench-
ing rain would have precladed the pos
sibility of sleep, without this additional
cause Some time after midnight.
growing FESTIVE under the storm and
the continuous pain, moved back to
the Lighthouse on the bank. This had
been taken as hospital. and all night
wounded men were being brougt in,
their wounds dressed, leg or an arm
amputated, as the case might require,
and everything being done to save life
or alleviate suffering. The sight was
more uncomfortable than encountering
