How Jnok Gets Whisky.

One of the most arduous tasks devolv.
ing upon the officers of a warship is that
of preventing the men from smuggling
intoxicants aboard the ship.
A company of half a dozen men on
one Of the warships here during the ma,
val review had a young parrot for a pet
housed in a gorgeous big cage. The bird
was the successor of several that had oc.
cupied the same cage during a stay at a
tropical port. The owners seemed to be
unfortunate with their pets, which lived
only a short time. The one they brought
here, which had stood the voyage well,
died o after the ship arrived in port.
The men took the cage ashore and got
some other kind of bird. That also soon
died, and so did four or five others in
succession within a few weeks.
Finally the officers noticed the great
mortality of pet birds, as they had also
noticed the great frequency with which
the joint owners Of these pets got mys'
teriously drunk aboard ship. A suspi.
cion dawned upon them, and they seized
the birdcage. They found it had a false
bottom, with a capacity for several
quarts Of whisky, and also that the food
tins and even the thick bars were hol.
low. The men had killed their cheaL
pet when other schemes for obtaining
liquor were not available, and taking
the cage ashore for another came back
with a new bird and half a gallon or so
Of whisky.-New York Sun.

THE OYSTERS ENEMY.
The norer Pest Has Played Havoc with
tho nisaives This SEASON.

$50. ~ MLHMW. y" 81
tho nisaives This season.
The "borcr,r a pest about the size Of a
small strawberry, isworking great havoc
among the oyster beds in Delaware bay
and tributary streams Captain Moses
Veale Of the oyster schooner White Lily
says that the destructive powers Of the
boror have been known TO oystermen
only n few years. He had followed oys-
ter digging nearly 30 years, and the first
borer he saw was about 10 years ago, but
their ravages in the oyster beds were
comparatively unnoticed until last year.
Captain Veale said that "last year tho
number Of dead oysters with holes made
by borers in the shell became so great
that oystermen were alarmed. This
year the work Of tbs borers has become
a grave matter, and ii it continues many
bays viii become depopulated Of oysters.
From bed we dredged on this trip we
got 1900 baskets Of oysters, but out Of
these only 200 were good, the dead oys-
ters having been killed by borers. A
peculiar thing about the ravages Of the
borers is their apparent selection Of the
best oyster beds. We have found this
to be true several times this season. We
have found a bed Of small oysters almost
entirely free from bOrers. This bed will
be separated from another bed Of larger
oysters by 200 feet, but this latter will
be so badly affected by the creatures that
it win hardly pay to work it.
From what 1 can learn from oyster
men the destruction wrought by borers
is more severe in Delaware bay than in
other places.
1.-THE work Of the borer this year
makes a double misfortune, for the oys-
ter beds were badly damaged by the big
storm in August and September. Very
few people who are not in the oyster
dredging business know anything Of the
methods of the borer. When l first took
notice Of its work, / secured several oys-
tiers just after the borer had fastened It.
self to the shell. When the borer fas-
tens itself, it holds on like a leech, and it
is with difficulty that it can be removed
with the fingers.
"Sometimes the borer fastens itself to
the oyster shell near the edge, and then
the oyster is not killed. When the hole
Of the borer is made neal the center of
the shell, the oyster is attacked in its vital
parts and dies in three or four days after
the hole is first made"
Some of the bed owners near Maurice
have lost large sums Of money this
year on account of the borer. Thomas
Munsey, who has a number of large beds,
It is sail, will lose $4,000. Several other
men have lost nearly as much through
this unlocked for calamity, and a num-
Der of men have lost in the neighborhood
Of $1,000 or $4,000. All oystermen say
can be no way of taking away the
borer without destroying the oyster beds.

A street cleaning contractor says that
the value Of electric street railways as
helps in keeping streets clean and wa
tered is not yet appreciated. If his ideas
were carried out early every morning,
in a city like Boston large cars built
after the fashion of the gravel cars run
on steam roads would be sent over all
the lines of track, and garbage and re-
fuse, gathered along the way, shoveled
into them. Following these cars would
come large watering cars able to wet
down the streets from curb to curb. The
advantages of this system over the pres
ent one of c~arting off refuse and drag
ging watering carts by horses are that it
is cleaner and faster. There would have
to be no waiting for carts to go off and
unload, and an item of saving would be
in the reduction of the number of men
needed, as, under the electric system, it
is estimated that the work of street
cleaning could be easily done by two
thirds Of the number now employed

WHO DIED FlRsTf

A Question OF Importance TO the Heirs Of
Two Victims of Battle Creeks Disaster.
Among the persons killed in the fright
full disaster at Battle Creek, Mich. a
few weeks ago were Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
q. SAKE. SO far as the evidence showed
both died instantly and simultaneously.
Nevertheless the question RS to whether
the man or the woman died first is one of
considerable importance to the heirs of
both, and an inquiry is already afoot to
discover if possible whether there was
any calculable difference Of time be-
tween their deaths.
If it could be demonstrated, for in
stance, that the man was the first to die,
his property would pass to the heirs Of
his wife, whereas if it were shown on
the other hand that the wife died first
her estate would fall to the heirs of her
husband. Considerable property is in
volved in this question, and the case is
of peculiar interest.
In cases involving somewhat the same
question of fact the law has held that the
woman, being supposedly the weaker
person, would naturally be the first to
expire. In the present instance, how
ever, where the death of the persons APP
peared to have been simultaneous, tho
courts, if it is brought before them, will
encounter a problem Of a peculiarly vex-
atious character.-New York Herald.

James N. Atwood of this town has in
his possession the shackles worn by John
Brown when he was captured. Soon
after the execution of John Brown, in
1859, Rev. Hezekiah Atwood, originally
of L%ivernore. Me-, was in Charleston,
Va, and while there visited the Jail
where Brown was incarcerated awaiting
execution. He was shown the leg irons
which were placed upon Brown at the
time Of his capture and worn constantly
by him until his execution. He tried to
purchase the shaclles, but was told that
it would be impossible. Asking the old
negress what would happen if the irons
should disappear and another pair be
substituted, she replied that 'the mum.
Der would be good" evidently with no
idea of their historical value. Mr.. Al
wood after much difficulty procured an.
other pair at An expense Of 50 and was
soon in possession Of the coveted shac-
kles. At zone time during the lifetime Of
Mr.. Atwood they were used in lectures
by Henry Ward Boecher. -Liyermor0

The naval scare-naval panic it is now
called-does not abateH in England. The
Times and other Tory newspapers thun-
der daily their warningsthat the British
supremacy of the seas is in imminent
danger. It is a rather popular cry, and
the Liberal party is offsetting it by equal
ly vehement declarations that the navy
shall be maintained on a basis distinctly
superior to the combined fleets Of Russia
and France. There is little doubt that
the government will provide for a big
naval expenditure in the next budget,
including the provision for several most
powerful new vessels. The budget, by
the way, will call for a sharp increase in
taxation, which is another reason for a
tempting appeal to the country before
the burden is felt.-New York Suns

A Former Prisoner Visits ne nt tho Fnil
and Meets His Death.
There was an incident In connection
with tho Worlds fair which occurred
about q week prior to the fairs official
closing that has not been SO fully com
mented upon as II might have been.
Among the visitors to the fair during the
closing weeks was Marcus Conant from
Mayport, Duval county, Fla. The OBJ
ject that had the greatest INTEREST," to him
was the re-erected Libby prison. 1t Is
no wonder that he was interested in that
exhibit, for as o wounded prisoner he
had lain and suffered in the old prison
when It stood in Richmond. As a boy
Of Is Conant had enlisted in the Flew
enth Massachusetts, regiment. He was
wounded In the battle of Bull Run, was
taken prisoner and was among the first
Union soldiers placed in the Confederate
prison house. He eventually made his
escape and was not recaptured.
Immediately upon his arrival at the
Chicago fair, Mr.. Conant turned his steps
to the spot on which Libby prison stood.
What was his amazement on entering
the place to meet among the visitors a
companion who had been among the
number Of those who escaped with him
from Libby 30 years ago. They held a
long conversation, and after his compan.
ion had left the building Mr.. Consnt
threw himself upon tho ground in the
identical spot upon which he had slept
as a prisoner. While lying there he was
seized with a violent pain in She ear and
returned to his hotel in great agony.
The pain could not be alleviated, and a
few days later he died without having
recovered from the singular attack.
Mr.. Conant had for several years been
a government contractor, and was at one
time regarded as a man Of large means.
