1T NEVER GIVES UP THE SHIP.

Aboard 1t Is There to Stay.
From the Washington Capital.
'The Galena is a fever ship" remarked an
officer attached to that vessel. 81 was some
what surprised when she was ordered to
Hayti, where yellow fever prevails"
81 asked "What is a fever ships"
"A fever ship" explained the officer, "ls
one that has had yellow fever on board.
The officers and men alike fear them, and
with good reason. The germs of the disease
never leave these old wooden ships, and as
soon as they go within the fever districts the
c)ntagion is bound to break out afresh on
board. We had several cases OF fever on
the homeward trip, but owing to
timely attention they did not develop into
the dread yellow fever. You might take the
Gaiena and thoroughly clean her, ste I'M all
the woodwork If you choose, and then lay
her during an entire winter in a cold eli
mate, and then during the following
summer go within range Of the yellow fever
country, and cases would soon develop on
board.
"An illustration of the strange fact is
found in the experience with the James
town, now the training ship at Baltimore.
On one of her trips yellow fever appeared
on board, and several deaths followed Sub
sequently the vessel was thoroughly renora
ted and extensively repaired. Her wood
work was steamed. Then she remained in
northern harbors for several winters. She
was finally ordered south again, and before
she reached the fever districts a case of
yellow fever developed, and the man died.
Above his hammock was found a quantity
Of filth. The woodwork was torn out, aud
the filth removed. But she is still a fever
ship, and | would not like to go south in her.
Then, again. is the case of the Portsmouth.
She once had fever on board. Long
afterward she was ordered to Norfolk for
repairs. Naval Constructor Hitchborn had
charge of the work. A number of his
workmen died, and he himself was taken
down with typhoid fever. and his life was
despaired Of 1t is true that once fever
ship, always fever ship.

EXTRACT FROM

OCTOBER, 1888.
PRACTICAL LETTERS TO TEACHERS.
BY w. S. B. MATHEWS.

T THINK best to open the October session with
the following letter just received, which ex-
plains itself, and will, no doubt, prove interest
ing to other correspondents:
DEAR SIR-You will remember in your reply
to me, in THE ErUDE for June, Advice to
Hard Case" you requested me to let you know
how got on after following your advice.
Acting thereon, abandoned my old system
OF practice, for "Mason's Technics" and the
"Technicon," and have spent one hour with
them, against two hours on reading and inter
probation, each day this summer.
The twohnger exercise in the elastic touch
has limbered up my fingers wonderfully, and
the fast form has produced the same effect on
my wrists while the accent and rhythmic work
has fulfilled every purpose for which II was
written.
But wish, in particular, to acknowledge my
Indebtedness TO the Technicon, for without 1t |
do not believe could have accomplished any
thing, owing TO the helpless condition Of my
hands before using 1t. My confidence in this
invention, and my interest In the theories on
which 1t is founded is unlimited. believe
could write a whole volume in praise of 10.
You will remember wrote you that my trou-
BILE was caused by stiff muscles and joints; the
Technicon has proven this to be a mistake, and
taught me u great many technical secrets, one Of
which is the ability to use one muscle, or set of
muscles. while all others are kept at rest and
under control. The inability 10 do this was the
obstruction To my progress. This is but one of
many advantages ! have gained through the
Technicon.
hereby express my gratitude for your advice
so kindly given. Yours respectfully,

Anonymous Letters and Their rf1.c.
the Good PeopIe of CIavaIanI

Anonymous Letters and Their Effect on
the Good People of Cleveland.
Copyr10i, 1855, 6yEte Cal fornia Assocsctcos Press,
CLEVELAND, January 15th.-About two
years ago prominent people in Newburg. or
the southern suburbs of the city, received
anonymous letters starting off with Your
irleno amen, "One of the boys" etc. The
letters were printed, and contained CHARGES
or lnslnuatlons concerning the conduct or
character o. friends or relatives of the re-
ciplent. One husband would receive an,
envelope addressed 10 him, while the pa
per within would be addressed to another
man, perhaps neighbor, and purporting
To give information as to how that neiebbor
could catch his wife in derelicuon of mar
ltal duty. Husbands received information
cOncerEiiig their wives and vice versa The
thing caused great deal of misery and in
oignatlon, and the attention of both Post
masters Jones and Armstrong was called 10
1t at one time or another.
Newourg society was seething hot. and
TO such an extent was the outrageous work
carried on that several citizens met to-
gether and determined to hunt the guilty
party down. The letters still continued.
and even grew bolder. "Socie,y in the
IRON wards " was once again set trembling
or wrlthing with rage and Indignation.
Suspicion fastened upon a young woman
named Miss Linnie Trayitt, living on
Woodland Hills avenue. A friend was in
duced to write this young woman a letter
and the answer to this letter was compared
with the anonymous letters. The sus.
pected woman was watched closely. Traps
were set for her. Evidence of her guilt
accumulated, and finally she was bluntly
charged with being the author of the letters
py lawyer Mason, who had been employed
by some of the victims to work up the
matter The young lady at first denied
the charge, but upon being confronted
with the proof weakened and confessed
her guilt.
Miss Trayitt is about twenty-three wears
old, iadylike, we'll connected and moves in
the society of good people. An affidavit
was drawn up and sworn to before wit
ness. In it Miss Travtt set forth that the
allegations and insinuations made in the
letters were absolutely without foundation
and certified copies of this confession were
made and sent to the victims of the anony-
nous correspondence. These certificates
made peace and restored confidence in sew
eral households, but also stirred I'D much
wrath and Indignation against Miss Trayitt.
The lawyer states that Miss Trayitt made
the affidavit of her own free will and after
much consideration as TO the Justice of so
doing, and that he had been strongly urged
by the parties who had been outraged by
the anonymous letters to take legal steps.
but has been 10th to do so, because of re.
spect and pity for the misguided girls rela-
tlves, who are in every respect excellent
people. Why the letters were written is a
mystery.

present rate of II cents per pound
On woods Of the second class, where the
value Is 81 cents or less per pound, an ad
valOrem duty of IL per cent is added 10
the present duty Of 10 cents per pound ;
where the value exceeds 80 cents per pound
an ad valorem duty of 10 per cent. is added
to the existing duty of II cents per pound.
On WOODS of the third class, the value OF
which is II cents or less per pound, the
duty is increased from one half cent to 8
cents per pound. Where the value exceeds
II cents per pound the duty is increased
from TO 6 cents per pound.
No wool shall be included in Glass 3
which shall be imported for any purpose
other than for the manufacture of carpets
or low grades of blankets, or which shall
not be strictly such as is known and recog-
niZed as carpet wools.

MS attention to'the resolution introduced
IN the House by him before the HOLIDAYS
respecting lack of proper postal facilities in
offices at Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo
Pasadena, San Bernardino, Cotton, River
side and other rapidly growing towns in
Southern California. The letter Of the Post
master-Geperal lodges the real issue in
the controversy. He says that it is obvious
that when third class Postoffices, not being

allowance, are suddenly called upon to
handle mass of Thousand OF strangers who
have neither fixed residences nor Postoffice
boxes, that it is impossible they should

morrow appropriaiing $17S,0oO for a new
public building in Los Angeles. The
original sum appropriated was $3.50 600, of
which SIS, 600 was expended in the pur-
chase of the site. The increase in popula-
ton has been so great that the building, as
originally designed, would be inadequate
TO the necessities of the city. The appro-

HANDLING A HoRsE.-It isn't every
man who knows how to handle horse.
The man who does will tell you that the
schoolboy essay which declares that the
horse is noble animal is right l have a
friend who spends a good deal of his time
at a window in the club watching people
and their horses, cursing or praising the
former as they abuse or manage with care
their steeds. 81 saw" he said, "a fine team
the other day. They were beauties in ap-
pearance, and almost godlike in their ac-
tion. The wagon which they drew was
piled up with heavy lumber. 1t was a
fearful load for any team. They were 60
ing up an incline, and the driver was Civ
ing them the reins. He never opened his
mouth or applied the lash. The horses
were doing the best they could, like the
choir in Colorado church, and the driver
knew it. This knowledge became sympa-
| thetic. II ran like an electric current
from the mans brain into the lines and
communicated with the horses. They
knew that humane being was trEsting tC
them, and they pulled with power thai
was magnificent. If that driver haC
/ opened his mouth in anger, the horse.
