THE Galena is fever ship" re-
marked an officer attached to that YES
sci Il was somewhat surprised when
she was ordered to hayti, where yell
low fever prevails"
asked What is fever ship?n
"A fever ship" explained, the Off
Ger, ..is 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 con-
tagion 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 Galena and thoroughly
clean her, steam all the woodwork il
you chose, and then lay her during an
entire winter in q cold climate, and
then during the following summer 60
within range of the yellow fever coun-
try, and cases would soon develop on
board.
IAN illustration Of the strange fact
is found in the experience with the
jamestown, now the training ship at
Baltimore. On one of her trips yellow
fever appeared on board. and several
deaths followed. subsequently the
vessel was thoroughly renovated and
extensively repaired. Her woodwork
was steamed. Then she remained in
Northern harbors for several winters
She was finally ordered South again.
and before she reached the fever dis
trict case of yellow fever developed.
and the man died. Above his ham,
mock was found quantity of filth.
The woodwork was torn out. and the
filth removed. But she is still 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 or
dered to Norfolk for repairs. Naval
Constructor Hichborn 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 a
fever ship, always fever ship"

why is it that the hardware stores
handle beeswax?" repeated a whole
sale hardware dealer of New York the
other day to a Scranton drug store
keeper who had asked the question.
"Well, 1 can tell you in a very few
words.
"All through the South, where the
most of our trade is. as well as in
other parts of the country, the tin
peddlers swap their wares for beeswax.
which they get very cheap. They
make nice profit on their tin-ware in
the trade, and they also get a profit on
the beeswax when they turn it over to
the retailers in hardware.
The beeswax passes from them to
the wholesale hardware men in the
cities, and they ship it in barrels to
New York. We often receive notice
from So-and-So that he has shipped a
certain number of barrels of beeswax
to apply on account. Beeswax is al
ways a staple article, and it is just as
good as the cash at all times, for
never saw time yet when We couldn't
get the cash for it.
..Of course it sometimes huctuates
in price. like many other goods, but
there is always steady demand for it
at the market value. Before the pat
ent hives and honeycombs came into
use few years ago. the wholesale
price of beesewax was twenty-tiv e cents
a pound"
Where large numbers of bees were
kept the patent comb was used, and
the consequence was that the bees did
not have to manufacture any comb.
and in the course of year the pro-
duction of wax decreased so much that
the price went up to seventy cents a
pound wholesale. 1t even went high
err than that for a while, and then it
fell again. but it has never got back to
where it was before the patents were
adopted.
If it were not for the tens Of thou
sands of small bee-keepers who cling
to the old style of handling bees, the
price of beeswax would be more than
one dollar pound.-Boston Budget.

THE SACHVILCE AFFAIR.

fhe Incident Discussed at an English
Cabinet NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Talks.
LONDON, Nov. cit is undeniably a fact
that the Cabinet yesterday devoted most
of the time consumed by its meeting to q
discussion OF the Sackville matter. Pre-
vious to the meeting, it is learned, Lord
Salisbury conferred with officials and ex-
perts in the various departments with a
view of obtaining data of the most i'm
portsnt precedents touching the case Of
the dismissed Minister, and also received
dispatches by ,pecial messenger from the
Minister in attendance upon the Queen at
Balmoral with reference to the matter.
Later in the afternoon there were persist
emit rumors in the neighborhood of the
Foreign Office that the Cabinet had decided
to leave the Washington legation in the
hands of a charge FOR at least q year. but
none of the report could be traced to any
reliable authority. It is more than likely,
however. that a new Minister will be ap-
pointed shortly sitter the reassembling Of
Parliament.
MIR. Gladstone's references to the sack
Vile affair in his speech at Birming ham
yesterday were wholly unexpected and,
although they were noticeably colorless,
his friends would have preferred that he
should have not made them. His remarks
will possibly be misrepresented or miSin-
terprsted in America and will certainly
enable the Tories to complain that the ex-
Premier has endeavored to embarrasS the
Government in foreign negotiations of tbs
most delicate nature.
With reference to the Sackville affair,
the Standard says: The real grievance IS
not the letter written Nv Lord Sackville,
but his verbal explanation of it. 1t will,
however. surprise the people of England
to be told that when Lord Salisbury asked
for an accurate statement OF what Lord
Sackville really said the American NJ us
ter was unable TO furnish the desired iu-
formation and immediately after and be-
fore Lord Salisbury was enabled to act,
Lord Sackville received his papers,"

that the powder mills az Gambo, abors
two miles distant, belonging to the Orien-
tai Powder Company had been blown to

explosion originated in the kernel mill.

only q fraction of a seconi between the
explosion of the kernel mill and those Of
the other three. There We're only two men
in the mills at the time and both of them
were fatally hurt, Walter Childs, aged
forty. being mengled about the head and
having his legs aud arms terribly torn.
and Edward Williams, thirty five. who
had Just gone out of the kernel mill and
was between two of the buildings. The
four buildings were wooden and each was
