The time is near when gunpowder
shall nave nd this planet of man eating
mammals, but ages may pass before
science will devise any protection against
the attack Of c~arnivorous sea monsters.
A few days ago Senior Garcia and his
mulatto servant were standing ON the
beach of San Lazaro, near Havana, Cuba,
when a teamster entered the bay TO treat
his horses to the luxury of n cool bath.
While the two men were watching the
horses the rider was seen TO disappear,
and in a moment the water was discol-
ored with his blood. The water was agi-
tated for a short time, and then all was
still.
There Is nj doubt that the man fell a
victim to one of the numerous sharks
which infest the bay. lie was about
thirty yards from the shore when n huge
fish seized him, and the tragedy was so
sudden and unexpected that it was i'm
possible for the two observers on the
beach to render the doomed man II as
~sistance. The harbor of Havana is not
the only tropical seaport infested with
man eating sharks. They are exceed
ingly numerous in the Bay of Alden, of
Bombay, Auckland and Batavia, and
make bathing in the s~horewater of Singa-
pore almost impossible. Philadelphia

The memory of their joint past GER
tainly ought to have brought Bismarck
to the bier of Moltke, apart altogether
from personal feeling. OF that. in the
sense of friendship, there wa not much
between the two men. Often their re-
lations were very much strained, and
there was u period at Versailles when
they were not on speaking terms, and
communicated by letter. The king and
=Moltke habitually thought together.
Bismarck often differed from them, and
when he put down his foot he was the
master a Wilhelm and his general
were set on entering Vienna after Konig-
graft. but Bismarck overruled them,
and concluded the convention Of Nikols-
burg.
They were keen to go to war with
France then, because of her officious in
terposition and heated threats; indeed,
the order went to Room to mobilize
100000 fresh troops. lone at a time"
was Bismarck's fiat, and he prevailed.
Again in 1867 he overrode the Joint ca
gerness of monarch and general to have
it out with France. When it was neces-
sary, as on the night of Sedan, when
poor Wimpfen was the toad under the
harrow which the pair dragged back
ward and forward, Moltke and Bis
marck Joined hands. Busch's book
is full of expressions of irritation
against Moltke ON Bismarck's part dur
ing the Versailles period, and the latter
never forgot nor forgave Wilhelm's
words to Moltke in the Galerie des
Glaces, that to him he owed the i'm
perial dignity. World.

The policemen in the City Hall park
nave their hands full now that the warm
weather has arrived, and with it the
consequent flow of water in the fountain.
About 400 each day forty or fifty
youngsters, mostly newsboys, gather
about the pool and amuse themselves by
sticking their heads and feet in the water,
while others with sticks, strings and
bent pins endeavor to snare the fish
which some of them believe exist beneath
its surface. One youth was sousing his
head while, as he thought, the policeman
wa patrolling the opposite side Of the
park.
Another boy seized the bare legs which
stuck up in air and pushed the bather's
head about IA foot under water. He was
so engaged in this pleasing homicidal
effort that he did not see the approach of
the gray coat d guardian until a rattan
descended with telling effect. The i'm
mersed youth got IL similar tanning, to
the intense delight of the other boys,
The officer says that it is common thing
for these boys to battle in the fountain
at night. AS they have only two gar
ments to get into, they can take a plunge,
dress and get away before the guardian,

For some reason or other the average
colored jockey is so brimful of super
stition that he can hardly get down to
weight. Jack ~Crittenden, the we'll
known colored jockey, now living at
Gloucester, would rather lose every race
for n year than see n snake or a bullfrog.
The table boys discovered this the other
day and one Of them placed n dead snake
in Jacks bunk. The poor little fellow,
when he touched the clammy reptile,
grew ashy in his terror, flew out of his
stable n the night and no inducement
strong enough has been found for his re-
turn. He firmly believes that the dead
snake was an evil omen, and that he is
hoodooed. Yesterday somebody slyly
placed n dead frog in Jacks pocket.
The jockey firmly believes that the frog
jumped into his pocket and died. To pre-,
vent a recurrence of this kind he cut

Dark browns were in favor last sea

change the color Of their coats so easily
as men and women, will be much used
this year. Some good has certainly been
done by the recent agitation against the
bearing rein, headed by the Duke of
Portland. We have noticed lately that
many coachmen have dispensed with it,
and in the case of lady whips we have
seldom seen it used. Once we saw the

Vaseline spray for catarrh and throat
troubles is a new thing to most of the
members of the medical association. DIR.
j. w. Moore, however, says hat MS long
rs twenty years ago DR.. Rumbold, OF st.
Louis, discovered the merits of the treat
ment. He has pursued it exer since. For
thirty years DIR. Rumbold madea special
study of nose, throat and ear inflamma-
tons, His conclusions were that the
usual remedies were too strong and
caused toe violent reactions. In expert
menting with milder methods he finally
took up vaseline and has used it to the
present time. With the other remedies
water has been used for cleansing pur-
poses.
While water is the best thing for
keeping the outer surface of the body
Clean" DIR. Moore says sit is not the
thing to apply to the mucous membrane
the water and puts the patient in condi-
ton to catch cold again. The way to
lean the nose is to spray it with vase
line. That not only cleans, but it leaves
the membrane protected and the danger
of fresh cold is prevented. OF course
the vaseline must be warmed sufficiently
to melt. Ills then applied by an atomizer,
and hat is the new treatment for nose
and throat complaints. 1t seems mild
and simple, and so it is, but 1t is taking
the place of the more radical treatment
for catarrhal troubles. Washington

couples arrayed in their best suits of

may be empty-it usually is in fair

mains on top. The seeker after fresh air
and the sights of the streets declines to
ride anywhere else but on the roof.
If four times the number of coaches

and start with the stage. And right

additional treat of a dozen half hysterical

bling up a steep, crooked, S-inch stair

Russell Shoes Are Popular.

"There will be more russell shoes worn
by gentlemen this summer than there
were last" said a New York retailer; 1--WE
have 1000 pairs for a starter, and have
been selling n good many already. The
fun poked at the russell shoe and wooden
shirt by the papers has had no effect
upon the demand for what is obviously
comfortable and stylish for out Of door
summer wear. Men begin to exercise
the right of dressing seasonably, whether
in town or country. 1t may be a fad of
temporary fashion, but no one will deny
the common sense behind it, which is
more than can be said for a good many
fashions. What is the cause of this fad
for street neglige? The general taste for
athletic sports. There is where it comes
from. 1t is simply an extension of the
freedom of the baseball costumes, the
bicycling costumes, the boating COS
tunes, the lawn tennis costumes. Sea
shore and watering place costumes come
from the same source"

a esIIant Arab.. oaeer EIploI..


Lord Charles B~eresford, one of the
popular heroes of the British navy, is
fortunate in his opportunities. A little
while ago he was appointed to the com
mand Of tine ironclad Undaunted, and at
the end OF last month he found himself
of Jaffa. A westerly gale sprang up,
and the French cruiser SeigneIay, caught
without any steam, dragged her anchors
and was driven on to a sandbank, where
she was in danger of going to pieces.
Although she drew nearly nineteen feet
of water, she was driven into shoal
water only ten feet deep.
Nobody supposed that she could be
saved. but Beresford worked his own
ship as closely in shore as he dared, got
out his steel hawsers and chain cables,
set all his men to work, and with the
RssistanceOf the French sailors managed
to float her without serious damage.
One feature of the affair was the gal
lantry OF an Arab boatman named Sulli-
man. who not only swan a long distance
through a heavy sea to the stranded yes
sci with an offer of assistance, but also
swan ashore egain, according to the
published accounts, with the captains
wife on his back. Why the captain
thought it necessary TO risk his wife's
life in tins fashion, or how she came 10

There is a decided novelty about the
idea of applying magnets to windows to
prevent the rafting of the sashes, but
this can now be done simply and effect
lively, a bar magnet whose two poles
project toward the face of the sash is
inserted lengthwise in either side of the
window. Fixed rigidly in the window
frames are rods of iron, and the attrac-
ton between the magnets and the iron
rods prevents the play which is usually
the cause of rattling. The consequence
is that the sash need no longer be made
to fit so closely that dampness will cause
it to swell and become difficult to open.
The power exerted between the magnets
and side rods is just enough to effect the
desired object, while not enough to in
%terfere with the easy raising or lowering
of the windows.-New York Recorder.

Even sayages, whose point-not of civ

low the boiling point, know the assuag-
ing and comforting power of hot water.
Long before America was trodden by
other feet than theirs the various hot
springs had been frequented by the In
dians for the cure of their ills and ails,
and it is they who have often taught us
the whereabouts of these Bethesdas, and
there are few more interesting sights to-
day than one of these hot springs, where
the steaming stream gushes from the
mountain side, where the sick and the
lame are brought on filters and go away
dancing. 1t seems, in the case of the
natural outflow of hot water from none
knew what sources, as if old Mother
Earth herself knew what was best for
her children, and cooked at her central
fires n life giving broth which puts to
shame that broth with which Medea
would have made the old young again.
