According to statistics recorded at the
medical college held in Munich few
months ago and published in the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal, the use Of
anH-toxine in cases of diphtheria has re-
duced the mortality in that disease to a
marked degree. In the hospitals of Mu-
nich it is declared to have been reduced
more than one-half. In Berlin the NOR
tality has been reduced from Al to 15.a
per cent. Reports from other cities point
ed in the same direction and there seemed
also to prevail a general belief that no
unfavoraoIe conditions were developed by
the use of the serum.

A young Swede came to this country
in 1851, with some money and the in
tention Of building a craft to be fitted up
for passengers to the Worlds Fair in
London For this purpose he located
himself at Portsmouth, contracted with
shipbuilders who had yards at Eliot, just
opposite Portsmouth, for a ship Of about
1000 tons, with expensive cabin accommo-
dations for passengers. The model Of the
ship was that Of an extreme clipper.
When nearly completed the protector feli
short Of money. Masts, spars and sails
had all been contracted for and were In
state Of forwardness. The mechanics
concluded to complete the ship and put
her in the hands Of Governor Goodwin, OF
Portsmouth, for sale, each contractor to
take his pro rata Of his contract. When
completed, the ship, under mechanics
lien, was transferred to the governor,
brought to Boston, purshased by SamD-
son and Tappan, named the Eightengale,
and under the command Of Captain Du-
maresque sailed for Australia with a
cargo valued at 5000. From there she

The lumber schooner Premier, which re.
Gently arrived in San Francisco from
Grays Harbor, had a narrow escape
on her first night out from being crushed
by a falling meteor. The schooner sailed
for that city on April 1, and 1t was at 3
o'clock on the following morning that
the missile from the heavens put in an
appearance. According to the story told
by those who were on the deck at the
time, the meteor came from the West
and Travelled due east and downward,
describing semi-circle as it swept tow
ard the ocean. 1t seemed to grow large
in size as it approached, and was appar-
emily bearing down directly on the Pre-
mier. The appearance Of the phenomenon
was accompanied by a loud and gradual
ly increasing noise, not unlike the BURST
ing of a shell hurled from a mortar.
The crew was badly frightened, and had
cause for thanksgiving when the ball
passed over the stern of the vessel and
plunged into the sea less than thousand
yards distant from them. An explosion
took place, which was like a great clap
Of thunder, when the meteor struck the
water, and then all became dark.

A leak which developed on the Massa-
chusetts fishing schooner Willie L. Swift
recently led to tn discovery OF curious
cause, says the Marine Journal. 1t was
found that some time in the past, pre-
sumably prior to her launching. couple
of stones, one Weighing nearly seven
pounds, and the other one-half less, had
found their way between the timbers,
nearly abreast the mainmast, beneath
the ceiling. The stones, kept in con,
slant motion by the rolling Of the vessel,
when at sea, had travelled from side to
side in their. narrow prison, and had
gradually worn through the stout oak
cardboard planks. The groove worn by
the rolling stones extended well up on the
planks either side of the keel, some be.
ing cut through almost to the paint on
the outside, the veriest shell of wood
alone preventing the thrush of the sea.
1t is wonder that the vessel had not
gone down in some of the many gales
to which she had been exposed in tine
past. She is 20 years old and 96 tons

The Japan Weekly Gazette of May 18th,
says: The Hermann, San Francisco
schooner loaded by Liebes &c Co., of that
port, left San Francisco on the 18th OF
January, and after calling at the Bonin
Islands, made for the sealing grounds.
There, up to May 1st, the captures
amounted to 200. On that date seven
boats left the schooner at six in the
morning. The weather was calm, but
at noon brisk breeze sprung up and one
of the boats, in which we're William
Thomas, Henry Schultz and Charles Har-
rlngton, lost sight of the vessel. They
tried to find her but in vain, and after
four days exposure, with nothing to eat
and drink but hard tack and water, they
were picked up by a japanese schooner,
the Daimyo, and taken to, Oginohama.
From there they were brought to Yoko-
hama by the police. They were well car
ed for by the Japanese, and arrived here
none the worse for their perilous adven-
ture. They brought with them their guns
and two sealskins.

taken out at any time all winter un-
frozen and in good condition. If the
outside heads ore frozen one layer
deeper in may be taken, and later in
the season the frozen ones will be

and laid on top of the ground in rows,

cutting back limbs where this seems
necessary. When the ends of the
branches are pruned they should be
cut back to limb, the wounds should
be covered with coal tar, and no stubs
should be left to decay. In removing
such large trees it is good practice to
prune the roots back by digging q
trench about the trees, say five feet
from the trunk, and if this trench is
filled with good soil new feedingroots

that the tree will be in excellent con-
dition for removing in year from the
coming winter. Large trees can be
removed with success, but it costs time
and care and money. Persons who do
not choose to go to the extra expense,
however, can console themselves with
the reflection that, as q rule, it is best
to plant small trees, and that tree
ten or twelve feet high will probably
be as large in ten years as oneplanted

JACKSONVILLE STATISTICS.
Interesting Figures Regarding Traffic,
Marriages, Births and Deaths.

Marriages, Births and Deaths.
Some of the official statistics OF
Jacksonville for the year 1894 are OF
special interest. There were shipped
from that port during the twelve
months ended Monday night 92,542,-
335 feet of Florida pine lumber, of
which about Ga, 900 feet went to do
mestic and 5000, 900 to foreign ports.
There were also 1,S08,0O cypress, e1-
elusive of crossties, shipped to coast
wise ports. This output of lumber
was by water, the railroad shipments
being also very large. During the
same period 9O7, 7,277 boxes of oranges
were shipped from the port to do
mestic points. The fire department
was called out 143 times during the
year, 112 of the fires being inside the
fire limits and thirty-oue outside. The
loss by fire was very light.
During 1894 there were 464 mar
rjaee licenses Issued in the county, l57
to white couples and 307 to colored.
In the city thero were 6O2 births, OF
which 233 were whites and 369 colored.
:Th. deaths in the city were 597, only
nine short of the number of births,
the division being OBI whites and 1853
colored. Thirty eight of these deaths
were from violence or accidents, and
seventy of them were of non-resl-
dents. With normal population of
$1,000 this makes the death rate only
n fraction over per cent. or about
twenty to the thousand.
