fully report all cases at once and to i'm
press all their patients and friends with
the necessity of using the utmost precau-
ton by isolation and disinfection, to the
end that the disease may be quickly con-
trolled-especially in view of the approach
OF the time for the opening of the public
schools.
Third, That physicians are required to
report all cases of death from diptheria or
scarlet fever Immediately.
Fourth, Failure TO comply with the
above requirements will be enforced by
the penalties prescribed by law.

A Cheeky Man.

The checklist man of the season has

shop not far from the city hall and asked
if he might wash his face. The tonsorial
juggler said, 'Of course"

said the stranger suavely.
One could have heard a pin drop as
the barber acquiesced and handed him a
clean towel.

looking glass. The barber left his custo-
mer and pinched himself to see if he was
really alive.

the stranger, as he rolled Corinthian

''Now, just little wax on my mus

action to the word and twisted the ends
Of his mustache to his satisfaction.

Terrible Experience OF Pleasure Party.
A small fishing schooner has just re-
turned from trip along the coast, ard
brought with it party of father, son
and daughter, who had an experience
which rarely falls to the lot of any one.
The party is William Buchanan, his
son Tom, and his daughter Nellie. Five
weeks ago they started on cruise along
the coast in small yacht, taking a
pleasure trip. They were provided with
guns, ammunition and fishing tackle,
and expected to have fortnight's sport
and then return east. Miss Nellie was
as expert with the gun and rod as either
her father or brother, and all three were
good sailors. About sixty miles south a
squat drove their yacht out to sea and
wrecked the vessel on one of the small
islands about twenty miles off the coast.
Mr.. Buchanan was badly bruised by
being dashed against the rocks, and Tom
had his right arm broken in a similar
way. Miss Nellie was the only one Of
the party who received no injury, and it
Is to this fact alone that any of them are
alive. The guns, ammunition and fishing
tackle were all saved, and Miss Nellie
cared for her wounded relatives and
then started out to get them something
to eat. The island is out of the way of
travel, and in consequence not a vessel
was seen for two weeks. Duringau this
time the young lady hunted and fshed,
and was so successful that they did not
pass one day without food.
The island is so fat and barren that
unless a vessel gets close to it the people
on board cannot see it. They could not
use the little wood they found for signal
fires, for they were afraid there would
not be enough to serve for cooking their
food A storm had sent them on the
island, and similar occurrence saved
them, for the fishing schooner had been
driven off the shore and out of her course,
and when the captain saw the island he
sent boat ashore to see if he could get
water.
/ Mr.. Buchanan had by this time fully
recovered, but the son was still suffering
from his broken arm. They were taken
off and brought to this city, and are now
feeling none the worse for their expert
ence, except Tom, whose arm is in bad
condition from neglect of proper treat
ment during the two weeks of suffering.
