TOWED BY AN ICEBERG.
The Drift Ice Was Going Capt. Chase's
Way, so He Utilized IL.

The ingenuity OF Capt Chase OF
here from Greenland, says the Phila-
delphia Record. has earned for him
the proud distinction OF being the
first sailing master 10 make his vessel
fast to an iceberg and allow il to pull
him toward his destination without
sail being set
The bark sailed from Iyigtut. a
port ON the southwest coast OF Green
land, June 81, for Philadelphia She
was loaded with a cargo Of cryolite.
She is one OF the seven vessels that
are regularly engaged in carrying that
little known mineral from the far
North. Three days after leaving
Ivigtut she was surrounded on all
sides by monster iceberg. but they
soon became lost TO sight In dense
fog, and it was then that the skill of
a master mariner was brought into
play and thoroughly tested. Capt.
Chase aud his crew OF ten men were
kept constantly on the alert, and the
vessel beat to and fro until the fog
lifted. Then the most dangerous Ice
was seen we'll astern, and the ship
was out Of immediate danger
For six days afterward huge bcrgs
were in sight, but far enough away
70 preclude the possibility Of collis-
ion. Drift ice was sighted June 30,
having been driven of shore by a
northeast wind. 1t was drifting al
most in the direct course which the
Clark was endeavoring TO pursue.
The vessel was soon on the outer edge
OF an immense field OF drift ice, which
extended In a northcasterly direction
as far as the eye could reach, with an
occasional berg reaching high in the
air. On the other side was clear
water.
The Clark was soon caught in the
drift and was so firmly held in the
ice that she was carried many miles
on her course, line having been
made fast to one Of the nearest bergs
TO keep her steady. For several DAYS
all hands enjoyed the novel expert
ence Of being towed by an iceberg,
but finally the wind began TO change
the direction OF the drift. Then the
rope was cut, the sails were set, and
the vessel soon freed herself and in a
few days was clear Of the arctic cur
rent The rest OF the long voyage
was devoid Of special interest

A physician maintains in the Medi-
cal Journal that il is not poverty of
diet so much AZ monotony of diet that
exercises an unhealthful influence on
the poor. AS IA matter of fact they eat
stronger" food than the rich, more
bread, meat and simple vegetables, but
their cooking is rude, and they eat the
same things the whole year through.
People who are well TO do, or who are
better cooks, get more 'iety with
fewer things, and always have some
thing to tempt the appetite. Soup
can be made to resemble greasy dish
water, or it can be made really savory
and nutritious thing, and there are
hundred different ways of serving pota-
toes. The physician thinks that free
cooking schools would be n first rate
thing in the tenement districts.

One OF the most frequent and most
annoying OF the smaller accidents
which are happening 10 US every day
is the getting OF small particles OF
dust and cinders in the eye. What
is at first loose attachment OF such
a body soon becomes a firm one by
the rubbing OF the afflicted eye, which
is sure 10 follow. When this happens
10 a child try TO make him under
stand the rubbing only makes mat
ters worse, and that it Is best to let
the free flow OF tears called forth by
the presence Of the irritant wash 1t
out When this is not eff.ctual,
grasp the upper lid by the lashes and
pull IL well down over the lower lid,
allowing 1t TO sweep back over this
part, thus cleaning IL out Most
foreign bodies get entangled in the
upper lid, SO that this proceeding is
usually effectual IL such body is not
deeply and firmly attached. Ii the
body still remains, the lids must be
everted over pencil, and all parts,
including the ball Of the eye, be care
fully examined In a good light. The
disagreeabe sensation may remain
several hours or longer after the body
has been actually removed, from the
irritation already set In.
This can be palliated by freely
bathing the lids with very hot water,
holding sponge so saturated over
the closed eye. Specks Of dirt may
blow into the ear. or hard masses OF
wax may act as foreign body. Oc-
clsionally insects crawl into the ear
passage. The safe and only proper
way TO remove any object from the
ear is to employ irritation with tepid
water DO not let the nozzle OF the
syringe be pointed straight into the
ear, but at an angle, which will pre-
vent the chance OF doing harm to the
drum. A current OF water is thus
produced which will clear the chan
mel. No harm can come from using
a large quantity Of water. There is
always danger in using hairpins or
any hard, sharp instruments in the
ear

A Sad Occasion.

Dr. Charles OReilly told the fol-
lowing story the other day: about
two years ago an old farmer living in
the backwoods Of Michigan suffered
the loss of his wife, most amiable
and respectable woman. Notwith-
standing the age OF the widower, who
was about seventy, he married a
young and giddy girl about month
later The neighbors, all OF whom
had great respect for his departed
better half, became very indignant.
So the night OF the wedding festivi-
ties they gathered from all points
men. women, and children-about
100 in number. They carried tin
pans, tin kettles, and horns, and at
. o'clock there commenced such a din
as was never heard before. The old
man stood it as long as possible, but
finally he threw open the door and.
waving his hand for silence. said, Il
should think that you folks would not
make such a racket around here. so
soon after there has been funeral. F"

1t is said by those who have expert
mented with them that the light
given by the fircfies Of Cuba is the
cheapest" in the world, produced
thai Is TO say, with the least heat and
the smallest expenditure OF energy,
and that a successful imitation OF il
would p. owe to be a most profitable
substitute for gas and electricity.
The insects are beetles two inches
long, and belong to the family OF
'snapping bugs" so called, because,
when one of them Is laid on its back,
it snaps itself into the air with a
clinking sound. The secret OF the
light this FREELY gives is as yet undis-
covered. Apparently 1T is connected
in some way with the mysterious phe.
nomenon OF lite, and chemists and
physicians have sought in vain to ex-
plain its origin.
On each side OF the beetles thorax
is luminous membranous spot and
these flash at intervals; so that the
Cubans put dozen Of the insects in
a case together and so obtain con-
tinuous illumination bright enough
TO read by. This light is accompanied
by no perceptible heat, and is SEEM
ingly produced with almost no ex-
penditure Of energy. How great an
improvement 1t represents upon all
known artificial lights can be i'm
agincd when it is stated that in
candle-light, lamp-light, or gaslight
the waste is more than ninety-nine
per cent. In other words. IL they
could be so obtained as not to throw
anything away, they would give nearly
100 times the illumination which they
do afford. Even the. electric light is
mostly wasted.

THE BODY AND ITS HEALTH.

HINT FOR THE BATH.-Put to a cup
of sea salt one-half ounce of camphor
and one-half ounce of ammonia in
quart bottle fill the bottle with hot water
and let it stand twenty-four hours; then,
when prepared to battle with sponge,
put teaspoonful of this mixture. well
shaken, into your basin. A surprising
quantity of dirt will come from the
cleanest skin. The ammonia cleanses
and the camphor and the salt impart
beneficial effect which cannot be exag-
gerated.
A RELIEF FOR BURNS. free appli-
cation of soap to fresh burn almost in
stantly removes the fire from the flesh.
If the injury is very severe, as soon as
the pain ceases apply linseed oil and then
dust over with fine flour. When this cover
ing dries hard, repeat the oil and flour
dressing till good coating is obtained.
When the latter dries, allow it to stand
until it cracks and falls off, as it will do
in day or two, and new skin will be
found to have formed where the skin was
burned.
MOULD ON APPLES Attention is
called to the fact that apples stored in
cellars or elsewhere are invariably COW
cred with mould or mildew--often invis.
ible, but just as real. This mould con-
ssts mostly of microscopic plants,
including numerous species of fungi, all
of which are more or less poisonous.
Physicians say they have traced diphthe
ria in children to the use of mouldy
apples. Mothers are in the habit of
giving little children apples to play with,
and the babies try to eat them. In such
cases the mould should be carefully re-
moved from them.
How TO LIVE If You WISH TO LIVE

ana controlling influences of inherit

ity, where there is freedom from nervous
strain and worrying and excessively Ia

Experiments that are now being
made with the palmetto III Florida
point to the growth of n new and
profitable industry from the prolific
scrub growth of the Florida forests
and fields. 1t has been proved that
the leaf of the saw palmetto can be
ground into pulp which makes an ex-
cellent article of hoilow-ware for do
nestle and other uses, and the present
experiments are expected to prove the
adaptability of this material to the
making of all kinds of paper, For
some time past the peculiar cabbage
like substance in the top of the cab
bage palmetto has been used with the
tender tops as well, rs fibre in the
manufacture of parchment. IL is now
proposed to obtain cheap paper fibre
from the ordinary scrub plant. Some
of this pulp has been successfully
worked up by manufacturing con-
cern in Boston into pals, tubs, basins
and other hollow-ware. The supply Of
saw palmetto is practically inexhaust-
ible in Florida. Millions of acres are
covered with it, and when cut down to
the ground it grows up again two OF
three times year. The Florida
Times Union, commenting on it's pro-
iected use, says that for plant that
grows without cultivation, and in such
inexhaus.ible quantities, .he saw pal
metto bids fair to have "more money
In it than most OF the cultivated crops
of Florida" and adds: "A fibre made
from the leaf can be used profitably
by upholsterers wherever curled hair,
moss, or excelsior is used; the roo,
can be turned into brushes of almost
endless forms and innumerable uses
and the poplar and other wood pulp'
OF commerce are now likely to find 4
dangerous rival in palmetto pulp"
