One can easily understand how such rem
edies as weasels' gizzards, does hoofs,
snails, ETC., have gained their favorable re-
ception among ignorant persons. Used
first in all likelihood in some case of illness
mistaken for an incurable disease, the nos
trum has been followed by spontaneous
healing, and has carried the stolen credit
and the faith which go with reputation
to other sick bedsides, sometimes with like
spurious results. 1t cannot be doubted that
some such confidence in the horrors of EN-
piricism fingers among our own poorer
population, especially in country districts.
In view of this fact the practice adopted
by local vestries of intoxicating active SAM
tary measures rs the true preventive of in.
fection, and impressing the necessity of OBJ
tanning prompt medical aid cannot be toe
highly commended Lancet.

The Sign Language.

1t is evident that with the aid of means
of communication having the scope Of the
sign language, and learned without effort
by simple ntercommunication of deaf
mutes, general knowledge may be rapidly
instilled into the minds of those who alt
deprived of hearing. They improve re-
markably fast; but this system is not with.
out its drawbacks, for if the sign language
is depended upon too greatly the pupil
does not make that progress in the English
language that is essential to his communi
cation with hearing and speaking people
nor for his improvement by the reading OF

LEFT TO THE SPOOkS.

All, what change! The hotel stands,
An empty barn deserted,
And looks across the barren sands,
Where summer lovers fiirted.
A bowling waste Of barren beach,
Forsaken by the million,
The hungry arms Of ocean reach
The gaudy red pavilion.
Where once the bands Teutonic Threats
Blew Wagner airs before us
Now sounds the deeper, grander notes
OF oceans winter chorus.
The flower beds are choked and dead;
The beach has changed and shifted;
"Keep off the grass" is dimly read
Where restless sands have drifted.
And on the broad piazza, where
| used to sit with Mabel,
There stands a weather beaten chair,
A scanned and wornout table.
And leaning up against post,
In that once dear location,
see the grim and pallid ghost
OF my two weeks vacationl

The longest swim ever made without the
aid of artificial help, such as life preservers,
life suits, etc, was made by Samuel
Brock, Yarmouth (England) beachman,
fifty-seven years ago, the night of Oct. IA,
1885. On the afternoon of the 14th Brock
had noticed a ship at sea signaling for a
pilot He in company with nine other sea-
men started for the vessel in the yawl In
crease. At O'Clock they came up along
side the ship, which proved to be the Span
ish brig Paquette de Bilboa. a pilot and
three beachmen were put on board and the
Increase then headed for shore, which was
twelve miles distant. At $50 o'clock,
when the nearest land was still six miles
off, a squall sunk the Increase and drowned
all ON board except Brock. From the way
that flood tide was beating off shore it soon
became evident to the man in the water
that if he ever did manage to reach the
land alive he would have to swim about
| fifteen miles in a roundabout way.
A swell sea drove him out over Cross
Sand ridge before the o'clock bell tolled
at St. Nicholas gate, and it was a long
90 hours later before the nearly exhausted
swimmer caught sight of the bell and
light buoys themselves. 1t was now
nearly midnight and Brock had been in tn,
chilly water about five hours. Within the
next hour he sighted vessel at anchor
and by an almost superhuman effort man
aged to get within about 200 yards, wher
he hailed the lookout. A boat was imme
dately lowered and the half drowned MAJ
taken on board The vessel proved to b'
the Betsy, of Sunderland, and her place o
anchorage about 1874 miles from where tn,
Increase capsized. Thus it was provec
that Brock had made the remarkable dis
tance of nearly seventeen miles in ~ hour

Among the explorers, and among the
members of the relief expedition as we'll
the principal sport lay in the hunting of
the walrus-a pastime that was dangerous
as it was fascinating. The walrus is as
plucky and full of fight when disturbed as
the widest tiger, and when a little band
of hunters started out in their little whale
boat for such big game they were never
positive of returning alive. In Rensselaer,
bay party from the relief expedition en-
barked with an Eskimo harpooner one day
ON II hunt for warus, and they returned us
badly scared as men we'll could be. They
fired into herd Of thirty walrus and killed
one, when instantly the whole herd, with
other herds that seemed to spring up like
magic fron@all sides, charged fiercely at
the boat.
The hideous brutes dashed the water into
enormous waves, and, while the hunters
fired charges from their Winchesters into
them by the hundreds, made every effort
to wreck the boat. One huge COW caught
an oar between her teeth and snapped it
like reed, while another got her head and
shoulders over the side of the boat, which
dipped volume of water and narrowly
escaped capsizing. For fully an hour the
fight continued hotly. Twenty walrus
were killed. The water all about was dyed
with blood and the men We're victors-

OLD CASEY DEAD.
Widely known Ryan Hotel Dog

Old Casey is dead. Casey was only
dog, but he was an aristocratic canine,
and had boarded at the Ryan ever since
that great hosiery was opened in the
summer of 1883. Casey had wide &C.
quaintance, and was known personally
TO almost every travelling man in the
United States. He was wise and in
dependent "purp." and was sociable
with only those he took fancy to. and
then only on occasions when he felt
socially inclined. Being of the bull
terrier family, he had pugilistic pro-
clivlties, but he never picked out dog
smaller than himself This was prob
ably not because lie was; too hon..
orable to do so, but because he
was ambitious, for he. invariably
jumped on dog bigger than him
self. He was unfortunate in his
battles. generally getting 1.-THE worst
Of it," But he never lost his
courage, and an hour after. he received
a good Knockout he was ready for
another set-to. He never tailedto have
a fight on st. Patrick's day, and never
failed to get whipped OH that day. He
was first-class ratter. and before he
grew aged he performed gallant service
i'll the rat wars of the. Ryan,, Hesllad
good many comical tricks, which he
performed when the mood took him.
He never failed to win the admiration
of all the guests of the. Ryan, even
though he was often diScourteOus to
them. He was never cross to them, but
in his independent moods he would
cause them much chargin by not accept
ing their advances.
Casey was shot some months ago, and
the wound. together with old age, made
it charity to wind-up his days by me-
chanical means. Yesterday his picture
was taken. and then he was chloro-
formed to death.
