beer sold In the saloon from the Lieber
branch of the brewing com and pay
them % cents per keg over and above the
regular price. which excess was to be cred
ited on the notes until they should
be paid: Leiber says they failed
to do rs agreed; that they have not paid
anything on the debt due the brewing CON-
pany, did not pay the so cents extra on the
beer purchased, and now owe for beer sold

BONElESS SHAD.
A Remarkable Evolution That Science
Has Accomplished.

A Remarkable Evolution That Science
Has Accomplished.
d. e. Crawford, Of the United States
fish commission, recently said:
Eve have little doubt now that be-
fore two more years we shall have
evolved what the seaboard public has
been clamoring for for so many years
the homeless shad. OF course, don't
mean a shad that is actually homeless,
but one that will be to all intents and
purposes as homeless as the founder Of
this country or the sole of England.
This will have been accomplished by the
cross breeding of the shad, the founder
and peculiar edible jellyfsh, which is
a staple food among the seacoast ma
tives of Japan. The commissioner had
much difficulty in securing supply OF
these jellyfshes in healthy, living
condition, but at last managed to bring
about one thousand one hundred of
them to San Francisco, and thence to
the Chesapeake bay hatchery in tank
cars. They have thrived amazingly, and
our experiments, while at first rather
discouraging, now leave but little doubt
of turning out successful
cat first the crossing resulted in the
production of a lot of jellyfshes with an
elaborate outfit of bones, which was
just what we didn't want, but time and
study showed us our mistakes, and now
we have few hundred half-grown
shad with less than eighteen per cent
as many bones as the ordinary sort.
Yes, as you say, science is a remarkable
thing. "-Philadelphia Press.

THE WRONG BARREL.

A Milkman Who watered His Stock with
Sea Water.
A certain London mill1man used to
water his milk every morning before
starting on his rounds. But it hap
pened one day that by some miracle the
usual watering had been omitted, and
therefore it seemed to the man quite a
providential interposition in his favor
when he found at the door of the first
fine four-storied mansion in one of the
fashionable squares-a huge case,
strongly banded with iron and filed to
the brim with water, the head having
apparently only just been taken off
Such a chance of repairing his omis-
SION was too good to be lost. To work
went John Swimmers ready scoops"
and he had just succeeded in watering
bis whole stock of milk most satisfac-
torily, when he heard voice address
ing him from the steps of the front door
overhead, which startled him, as well it
might, for it was that of the noble earl
to whom the house belonged.

enough water. my man9" asked his
lordship, cycling him with a grim smile.
"Oh, my lord, my lordl' stammered
poor John, petrified at finding himself
SO completely caught.

marked the earl very quietly; "but, If I
had been you, would have chosen some
other cask than that. My doctor has
ordered me a course of sea-water baths,
and it happens that you have just taken
the trouble to mix all your milk with

tof the disease In jails it came to be
known as jail fever. Other names have
been camp fever, spotted fever, putrid

hreland il has repeatedly prevailed with
great severity within the last two hum
tdred years
There have been occasional outbreaks

United States. Between January 1,
1851, and November l, 1854, one thou

EtTyphus fever, when not fatal, lasts
about three weeks. For the first week
the symptoms are not severe and the
patient may even keep about his work.
Toward the end of that time the char
lacteristic rash appears, the other SYM
toms are more pronounced and the pa
fient takes his bed. During the second
kweelk all the symptoms-great prostra-
stion, frequency of the pulse and mental
sconfusion-are rapidly intensified. By
lthe beginning of the third week con-
walescence begins, and by the end of the
sweek the fever has terminated.
When the disease proves fatal death
occurs as a rule by about the tenth day.
Typhus is not nearly SO contagious

crowded conditions and its spread is
mainly confined to such conditions. 1t
is almost unknown in the rural dis
Hricts. 1t does not spread from house
