nat IL the Way Much Sickness 10 Geo.
tracted.
Mark Twain once wrote a paper
pointing out the appalling danger Of
going to bed as exemplified in bills of
mortality. For one person who died out
of his bed several hundreds succumbed
in bed, and now we have Mr.. Ashby-
Sterry drawing attention to the same
thing. Hitherto he has hymned in
graceful verse pantalettes, frills and
the tempestuous petticoat. and now,
quantum mutatus alb lilo Hectore, he
lauds the pyjama. In q recent number
of the Graphic he says:
~ have theory that most people
catch cold at night after they are in
bed, and it is to this fact that attrib-
ute great deal of the violent colds,
the bronchial catarrhs and influenza
which have recently been so prevalent.
The temperature goes down suddenly
in the night, and people catch cold
when they are asleep without knowing
it. This evil is to be counteracted, not
bppiling on lot of heavy blankets,
but by wearing thick, close-fitting gar
ments of a pyjama-like nature and
warm socks on the feet. If this system
were adopted am quite certain that 1t
would be found beneficial.
There is common sense in this Peo-
pie unquestionably may catch cold in
bed, especially if they are at all rest
less and so kick the bedclothes off. In
that event, if only clad in a thin cotton
nightshirt, they are sure to catch cold,
whereas if clad in pyiamas, not neces-
sarily thick but made of some wooden
material, the chance of chill is much
lessened. Our ancestors. even as late
as the eighteenth century, went to bed,
as Mallory centuries earlier phrased it,
''as naked as needil;" but only the
hardest of them survived. We, how
ever, are cast in more tender molds,
and require protection by night as
well as by day. The feminine portion
of the community will, we fear. not
adopt Mr.. Ashby-Sterry's suggestion,
for though, as an eminent authorcss
once remarked, "a woman looks SO
in her night Dress" still
that vesture offers opportunities for or
which pyjamas, at best unlove-
ly garments, never do. Perhaps the Ra-
tional Dress society may take the mat
ter up, and Mr.. Henry Holiday might
turn his attention to devising really

BODY oRAPPLERs.
Some OF the Difficulties In Recoverin
Drowned Persona.

Some Of the Difficulties In Recovering
Drowned Persons.
Graphing for dead bodies is a diff
cult and laborious task. In seaport
cities where harbor police force is
maintained, the work of looking for
people supposed to have been drowned
is allotted to them. In other places
the regular police force generally car
ries on the work, though it is not in
frequent for private parties to grapple
on their own account, with the hope
of obtaining the standing reward Of
fered by the state for the recovery of
drowned bodies. In Massachusetts,
the amount of the reward is five dol
lars, and it is paid to the persons who
take the body from the water.
1t requires three men to operate one
grappler. Two are the oarsmen of the
boat and the third is the man who con-
trolls the graphing iron. A grappler
is a straight bar of iron, upon which is
fixed about dozen iron hooks. The
hooks are placed on two sides of the
bar, and there is a long iron handle in
the center of the bar, to which the
rope held by the man in the boat is at
tached. In addition to the big hooks,
there are about a dozen Goldfish hooks,
attached all along the iron bar by lit
tie pieces of cod line. The grappler is
dropped to the bottom and dragged
along behind the boat
The moment the hooks come in con-
tact with anything on the bottom the
man with the rope in his hand can tell
It in much the same way that a fisher
man knows when he gets bite" It
requires no great strength to haul a
body from the bottom to the surface.
It is then towed to the shore and land
ed, and then the medical examiner is
sent for to inspect it 1t must not be
moved before.
Of course, it is often more luck than
anything in finding a person supposed
to be drowned. In still water, such as
lakes and ponds, and when the spot
where the person sank can be pointed
out with a reasonable degree of ac-
curacy, the success of the searchers is
an easy matter. But in rivers, and
harbors especially, where there is
good deal of tide, not one body in ten
can be recovered, even when the
drowned person was seen to sink and
the spot is pointed out-Boston Jour.

An Anomaly In Shipping.

AS recently announced two Brit
ish ships are coming out to this
coast from New York and Boston
in ballast. We have now to report
a ship to leave this port in ballast
to load sugar at Manila for New
York, says the S. F. Bulletin. This
ship only recently arrived here
from Baltimore with cargo. At
the time of her arrival and ever
since she was the only ship avail
able to load back to New York di-
rect from this port. She probably
would have been retained for that
trade if she had been of larger size.
Competition on this route has cut
the price of freight down to such
figure that only the largest carriers
can get out even. The Great Ad-
miral was once a favorite in the
California trade, having been built
more for speed than for carrying,
though she carries fairly we'll. Her
regular tonnage is 1897 tons, and
she brought 1000 tons coal. She
was built too long ago to put her
to a much heavier test in the way
of dead weight. By the time a
ship will be wanted for New York
loading there will be two or three
here.

Shredder
(PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS on
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any of its former
records by closing the l25
hours grinding with an output
of 3008 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
"The three roller mill being
26 in. by 81 in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by 60 in. The
first mill doing this amount of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently cree
ted by the Company. And
by it's use the extrac-
tion has been increased from
8 per cent. to 5per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and In some
cases 80 per cent. has been
reached; the average being Is
to Is per cent, according to
quality.
81 continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
"The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and a large partLof it
being hard ratoons.
