somewhat as follows: pretty maid is

used whale oil to Intricate her long,

the whale spirit: "Give me oil, o spir.

An order will be issued in q day or
two by the navy department laying
down directions for the removal Of
those injured to the sick bay.
This important subject has been al
most neglected by the authorities since
the formation Of the new navy, and
each surgeon ON hoard ship has been
left to devise his own method of get

the operating room and there Is de
ficient system on board each ship, the
men constantly receiving instruction
In new methods.
To obtain uniform system for the
removal Of the wounded below decks
the medical bureau of the navy de-
partment recently gave consideration
to the subject aud determined to place
new system III operation.
One Of the main difficulties In the
successful lowering of the wounded
from the decks to the sick bay is the
small patches In the new navy. I'm
der the plan contemplated ordinary
hammocks will be distributed around
the spar and gun decks. Attendants
will place each wounded man in a
hammock and take two turns of the
lnshing under the armpits 10 as to
prevent him from falling out. A long
stretch bar will be attached to the
hammock, and its occupants will be
lowered feet first. Trials of this sys-
ten have already been held on board
the Chicago, and the results were sat

tenn on board all United States men,

The Right Way with Moth.


Unless applications are made in the
right way and at the right time they
are more likely to fail in their pur-
pose than to succeed. Unless the eggs
from which the larvae are Matched
are laid in the garment by the winged
moths before it is put away 1t re-
quircs nothing but careful folding in
paper, glazed cotton or plain linen.
The whole damage is done in this
way: The winged moth deposits it's
eggs in wooden or fur garment, SO
that the larvae when Matched will
have something on which to feed,
The garment hangs in a closet, or ia
laid away with the eggs in 1t, and in
due time, no matter how much cam.

die of the bay, which is about two
miles wide. After surveying the great
fields of ice, which are hundreds of
feet high and extend back to q dis
lance of many miles, q great mass of
leo, perhaps as large as the West
hotel, broke off from the summit of
the glacier and fell with q mighty
roar into the bay. This was not par-
ticuiarly remarkable, but what fol.
lowed was the most astonishing sight
ever seen in that locality. Suddenly
huge shaft of ice as large as our
ship came out Of the water and shot
into the air q distance Of 200 feet and
toppled over. It was Of deep bot
tle-green, and the sunlight flashing
on 1t made 1t most beautiful as well

lowed by four others that rose from,
the bay with great rapidly. They
rushed out Of the water like things
Of life, and we were compelled to
