A Sailor Supposed to Have Been Drowned
Returns to Claim Legacy.
William Lanark, a wealthy old farmer
Of Lanark County, died fourteen years
ago, leaving eighty-four thousand dol
lars, the distribution OF which was
made the occasion of lawsuit by some
OF the surviving members of his family,
says the Toronto Globe. Among the
male heirs was Stephen Holiday, mar
ried son, who in 1864 left his wife and
two children and went sailing on the
schooner Ada Drake, which was lost in
heavy storm off Cleveland, and Holi-
days family supposed he went down
with the vessel. His widow subse-
quently married Toronto man named
Derusha, and secured an order for the
payment OF Stephens share of his ia
theirs money to her and her two sons.
This was followed by an order that the
money should remain in the court.
Four years ago Mrs. Derusha,
Stephens wife, died, and lately Stephen
returned to Canada and told of his mi
raculous escape from the wreck after
being washed about the lake for hours
lashed to spar, and of being picked up
by propeller, after which he went to
Honduras and Central America. He
has been.identified by his only surviving
son and q neighbor who knew him
years ago, and an order was made for
the payment of his share of his fathers
estate.

The minnows are unable to find their

AN Atchinson man has had the pleas

He wrote it himself, and has laid it

claimed to be practically unbreakable,
A PHYSICIAN has compiled some very
elaborate statistics to demonstrate that

three years and half longer than men

SlCK-ROOM ADVICE,

Do NOT forget that kindness and ten
derness are essential to successful nurs-
ing.
DON'T ask a convalescent if he would
like this or that to eat or drink, but pre-
pare the delicacies and present them in
tempting way.
A NURSE must never get impatient. A
sick person is often irritable and some-
times obstinate, but this must be over
come by kindness and firmness.
Do NOT fan sick person unless you
are requested to do SO, or there is a
good reason why you should. A nervous
person is often made very uncomforta-
BILE by it.
The nurse must learn to be cool and
collected in time of trouble. ANY ex-
preston Of alarm or anxiety, at criti-
cal moment, may result disastrously to
the patient.
In the early morning hours the vital
forces Of the patient are at an ebb, and
1t is often necessary to add additional
clothing to the bed or provide some
thing stimulating at this time.
IN bedside watching the nurses work
is often very responsible and trying.
And 1t is here that the observing physi-
clan can readily determine whether the
nurse is experienced or not from her
general bearing.
AVOID jarring the bed and do not al
low any one to sit on the bed. Avoid
haste. Do things quickly by knowing
what to do and how to do them. All
appearance Of haste and uncertainty is
annoying to tho patient.

eARNuM.s ATHLETIC TRAINING.
The Old Showman's Experience in the
Sawdust Ring.

The Old Showman's Experience in the
Sawdust Ring.
1t is not generally known that Bar
mum has all his life long been an ath-
lete, and that in his younger days he
was as skillful a performer on the
trapeze as some of the professional
acrobats in his employ. When he first
went into the circus business says the
Chicago Evening Journal, Barnum
satisfied himself that in order to make
a success of it he would have to be
familiar with every department and all
matters pertaining to it. He accord
ingly went into training, and within q
year was able to turn handspring and
walk the tight rope with the best of
them. On several occasions when his
Barnum disguised himself and did their
turns. "AQf course, the audience was
not aware of~his, for Barnum always
disliked to be known as performer.
But when he had begun to grow pros
porous and it was no longer necessary
for him to act Barnum stopped per-
forming in public, though he continued
practicing in private. When he built
the wonderful Persian palace, Iran
istan, in Bridgeport, he had large
room set apart as a gymnasium, where
he exercised one or two hours every
day. 1t was fitted up with all the ap-
pliances and Improvements of a gym
nasium, and there Barnum used to
swing Indian clubs, practice jumping,
tumbling and all the other acrobatic
tricks of bone and limb. In all the
exercises he was of course attired in
tights.
His athletic costume consisted of a
white shirt, blue silk trunks, yellow
hose and cream slippers, with black
tips. Sometimes he varied his appear
ance by wearing green satin trunks or
buff-colored shirt. He still has these
garments preserved in trunk, which
is not open to general inspection. When
1ranistan was destroyed by fire Barnum
built Waldemere, and there, too, he had
private gymnasium, fitted up like the
first, with all the improvements. There
he continued his acrobatic capers in
private, and so built up the splendid con.
stitution which has just carried him
through almost a fatal illness.
Waldemere gave place in time to his
present residence, Marina, which faces
the sound, and, although age has stolen
uponhim, Barnum when in health keeps
up his old habits of exercise, though of
course in modified degree. He has
gymnasium connected with his house,
and there he still swings clubs occa-

TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

No DOUBT exists as to the fact that
many deep-sea animals do emit light.
though the precise nature of the
mechanism for its emission is not al
ways certain.
The alge of the ocean, and especially
of highly-saline seas, are in all respects
different from fresh-water alg@. They
constitute two independent orders, one
of which is adapted by its organization
to fresh water, the other to salt water,
THERE are the curious ribbon fish,
with their fins prolonged into feelers
many times as long as the body; and
there are other strange types with
pointed tails and eyeless heads that
look more like nightmares than actual
productions of matter-of-fact nature.
= The whale is no more a fish than the
bat Is bird. Its young are born like the
kittensanff the puppies, but only one at
a time. The young whale takes its
nourishment at its mothers breast, just
as the human baby does, and it is just
as carefully watched and guarded by its
parents.
Down to the depth of two hundred
fathoms, where daylight disappears, the
eyes of a fish grow constantly bigger
and bigger. Beyond that depth small
eyed forms set in, with long feelers de-
veloped to supplement the eyes. Sight,
in fact, is here beginning to atrophy. In
the greatest abysses the fish are mostly
blind.
The Spanish mackerel, with its
smooth, cone-shaped body, is among
the swiftest of fishes, and for speed
only finds parallel in the dolphin
There is great similarity in shape be-
tween these two, and both cut the
water like a yacht. The first follows
the fastest steamers with the greatest
ease, in it's dashes swimming at five
times their speed.
THE method by which the sole
searches for food is peculiar. He taps
the sandy bottom with his head, guided
apparently by scent only; when the
tactile filaments find something edible
he Immediately seizes it with vigorous
and sudden snap of the lower half of
the jaws, where the teeth are situated,
but never snaps at any thing not first
localized by his feelers.

A Floating Disinfectant.

A patent floating disinfectant, which
has recently come into use, appears to
possess the three very essential advan-
tages of efficiency, simplicity OF appli-
cation and uniform solution. A mixture
OF carbolic acid and other disinfectants
in solid form is SO prepared that it
will fioat in water. This melts slowly
In the water and is always visible and
accessible. The uniform rate Of solu-
tion adapts it specially for use in clos
cts. All that is necessary is to place
block OF 1t in the water cistern supply
ing the closets. All danger of blocking
up the pipes is avoided, as the disin.
fectant is always on the top Of the
water.
