Sailors Frozen stim:

VINEYARD HAVEN Mass, Feb. IAN
unknown schooner, encased in ice, with
three of the crew frozen to the roof of her
cabin, ashore on the north coast of
Martha's Vineyard to-day. She was at once
boarded by the life savers. who found her
to be the T. B. Dickson, of New York.
thence for Rockland, Me. The bodies We're
nearly covered with ice and their limbs
We're frozen stiff. Examination disclosed
that one of them was Captain Joseph Bos-
wick, and another was mate Martin Lee
of the Dickson, both of Rockland. The
third is still unidentified, although from his
clothing he is supposed to have been the
cook. There was no trace of the remainder
of the crew, and it is feared they were
washed overheard and lost.

poisoning occur from gathering and

Rhus Venenata, or poison sumac, is

pinnate leaves, with seven to thirteen

As one Of the steamers of the White
Star line was making a recent trip. her
passengers were treated to the sight OF
q great iceberg. on which were two big
polar bears. How they got there is
easy to determine. An iceberg is orig
inally attached to the land, from
which in time it breaks loose and floats
away. The two bears went on the
berg in search of food. and probably
did not discover they were adrift until
long after being out of sight of land.
The passengers could not but pity the
great, shaggy creatures. The iceberg
was rapidly melting. and before many
days the bears would find themselves
swimming in the broad Atlantic. and
in the end they must .ink- But no one
wanted them on board, and so the
steamer left them to their fate.-Gold'

Overhead Baggage Handling.

over a winch barrel. also operated by

be raised or lowered, and in this way
it is possible to transfer load of par
cells from one platform to another, over
the heads of the passengers, who arc
thus free from the usual inconveniences
to which they are subjected by the

It 10 q fact we are assured OF by

that primeval man not only had four

to environments and use from an oval
to globular shape. or to a compro-
mise of the two. The jaw has retreat
ed as the front brain has protruded.
The tearing tusk teeth have short
ened up, and are neatly and gently in

ing pointed and movable like horses

Such changes in our general physical

The essential elements Of hospital

A sound, simple, every day life, with

He Hated Women.
There are so many sham misogynists
about in this affectedly cynical age
that one can hardly help extending =
measure of admiration to the thorough
ness and consistency of certain rich
old Viennesc bachelor whose death
was announced the other day. In the
case of this highly eccentric old gen.
tlemen, horror and dread of our unfor-
tunate sex had become positive
mania, for it is recorded OF him that
whenever he went to place of public
entertainment he took the precaution
of taking three seats, in the center OF
which lie seated himself, leaving those
on each side vacant, SO as to avoid all
risk of being obliged to sit by woman!
He even carried his extraordinary crazc
beyond the grave, by leaving instruc-
tions that no woman was to be buried
either to the right or left of him, even
if it should be necessary to purchase
three graves in order to insure the car.
rying out of his strange bequest. Ono
cannot help suspecting that there must
have been some painful romance in his
life to account for this extraordinary
attitude of mind. Perhaps the most
curious thing in the whole strange
story is TIE statement that this agree
able old gentlemen left behind him q
large bundle Of letters, which he had
qrimly indorsed: Attempt by my fam
ily to put me under the yoke OF matri'

on the part of his relatives seems by no
means easy to explain.-Lady.
