is unlimited and whose experience
covers many years.
The Kosciusco has been ploughing
the deep for thirty odd years and is
one of the Old iron inside and wood
| outside, Aberdeen clippers which was
built for the trade between London
and Australia When she was built
there was a great deal of travel be-
tween the two countries and many
tons of freight were being shipped
from London to the colonies in Aus
tralia.
There were no steamers on the route
and ventureSOme men who wanted to
try their luck in the gold fields reached
their destination by one of the vessels
of which the Kosciusco is a sister ship
Tales that have been told of the passen-
gers and their trials on the long voy-
age from London have been told men
of today when they were boys For
the men who sought an Ell Dorado in
Australia thirty years ago were not
always refined individuals, nor did they
hesitate to squeeze the throat of a fell
low passenger if their pressing needs
occasiOned by an over indulgence at
the gaming table in the steerage re-
quired it.
But as the trade grew so did the de-
mand for quicker passage. a line of
handsome steamers was put on and
the KOsciusco and other ships of the
line lost their passenger traffic and
their cargOes consisted principally of
freight for which there was no imme-
diate hurry.
The Kosciusco is now commanded
and principally owned by Captain
Rodd, as jolly an English skipper as
ever trod the deck of a ship. He has
been master of the vessel for eight
years past but this is his first trip in
her to Honolulu; he was here on the
Lady Bound eight years ago and on
his return to Australia in that vessel he
bought into the Kosciusco which was
then a ship. She was Immediately
changed into bark and refitted under
Captain ROdds directions
After refitting the vessel she was
placed in the London-Australia trade
and afterwards in the lumber trade
between Puget Sound and Australia.
In a conversation with Captain Rodd
the other day he remarked that after
running for time between the Sound
and the Colonies he switched back be-
tween England and Australia I've
just finished three trips around the
Horn but it's no use; they're carrying

On one occasion the fellow took it into
his head to finish the mate and would
have succeeded but for the fact that
his shouts aroused me and [ grabbed

A traveller passing through Kansas a
short while ago stopped at a settlers
cabin, near the western part Of the
state line. The owner, a tall, lank
farmer, with a stub Of a beard aud
sharp blue eyes, slowly hoisted his
booted legs of rail fence and slouched
up to the stranger.
'How yer be, stranger? Coin fer
ter stop long in these parts?"
"0h no-only a very short time"
"That's lucky fer you, stranger,
cause there's goin' ter be a little blow
here shortly, and it mightn't be safe
fer ye to be round. I've just been

Curing by Suction.

Upon the Yakima reservation in
Washington is an Indian doctor who
cures all the ills to which the abort
gines are heir. He isl whole system
Of medical philosophy and drug store

ton the other day, says the East Ore

Shoawav Shoaway is the real chief
of the Cayuse tribe, and his people
recognize this fact There is not much
in the chieftianship business just now,
SO he does not assert his rights. But
they want him to recover, SO they sent
up to Yakima for an Indian doctor.
This Indian doctors method is as
simple as the nature of the child Of
the forest, and consists of only doing
this; He applies his mouth to n spot
on the body directly over the heart, i
the heart is affected, and by suction
power draws from the body all the de-
leterious substance which causes the
disease. If the arm is lame, he ap.
plies this suction to the part affected
and draws out the pain and the dis
ease. Paul declared that no one could
fail to recover when treated by thi
Yakima doctor, and he expects to be
ag we'll as ever in few days.

are found in the women's clubs of the
South, notes the New York Post. The
money they use to carry on their
work is secured by subscription, fees,

is expended in improving streets,
keeping them clean, laying out drive

In one or two instances the town Gem.

To the repeated demonstrations that
typhoid-fever germs find their most
congenial habitat in milk, and prop
ogate faster in that liquid than in auy
other, may be added the recent expe-
rience of Cambridge, Mass, and New
Haven. In the former city the prev
alence of typhoid fever, which at one
time threatened to reach the proper
tions of an epidemic, has been made
the subject of a thorough investigation
by Professor Sedgwick Of the Mussa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, and
he has succeeded in tracing every case
to the milk supply of the afflicted
families. There was a case Of ty-
phoid in the family of the milk
man, and he was permitted to con
tinue to ply his trade, and so commu-
nicate the disease to his customers. In
New Haven the concentration OF
typhoid-fever cases in one section OF
the city facilitated the inquiry of the
health authorities, who found evidence
which led them to believe that the
majority of the cases had their origin
in infected milk, furniahed by one
dealer, and bought by him from 6
farmer in whose family there had beer
a case of the fever. One result of the
investigation in New Haven is tn,
drafting OF an ordinance, which awaits
the sanction of the City Council, ant
which provides for the licensing oil
milk-venders and for an inspection q
the milk carried by them, and an in
tpection also of the sources of supply
with their surroundings

The Slate Disappearing.

Students in the Chicago public
schools in the primary and the gram
mar grades have not been compelled
to use states for years In the high
schools they are used only where the
retention of a favored Principal is
desired. Primary education in Chi
cage has advanced to that point that
the pupil no long II needs slate or
could make use it ii one was ut
hand. No action Of the Health De-
partment Of the city has taken the
slate ont of the public school. Ac-
cordiug to Superintendent Lane, the
slate has disappeared solely because
it was not needed. Paper has taken
its place with nearly 200, 900 pupils.
Paper is clean. Pencils are cheap.
States are expensive and awkward in
handling. They have been tabooed
in Chicago. The Health Department
has never taken up the question. -

The Trollers and the Snnrroms.

The tremendous increase of the
European sparrow in American t owns
was due largely to the abundant
food supply afforded by the offal in
the streets. Now that the trolley
lines andcable system have so general
ly superseded the horse-cars, aud hum
dreds of thousands OF horses have
been banished from city streets, the
sparrow's food supply has been re-
stricted in a corresponding degree, aud
the bird itself has diminished IN like
ratio. Another anti-sparrow agency
in New York is the reformed Street
cleaning Department There was a
time when the sparrows had the street
filth pretty much to Themselves; but
nowadays there is a man with a
broom On every block waging war
continuously on dirt and so on the
sparrow simultaneously. 1t may be
that while the local sparrow supply
has decreased in the towns, the total
stock remains as great as it was be-
fore; for the sparrows may have de-
serted the towns only to DIES cend
upon the country; 50 that the farmer
may wall that under the new system
he not only loses market for his
horses, but has to fed the sparrows
too. Such a condition of things, il
appears, might we'll have place il

MY BURGLAR STORY.
BY C. H. AUaUR

When went to bed that night my
hair was as black as it used to be.
When the day dawned it was light.
SO you may see how badly I was
frightened.
/ was paying the penalty for over
work at the time by taking a health
trip, and ! carried along s475 to pay it
with. I also took fish pole and a
northwesterly direction for the Michi-
gan woods.
When 1 was leaving Detroit on the
steamboat wrapped mp $500 in
rubber band and slowed them away
in the inside pocket of my vest, aud
soon acquired the habit of touching
myself every time thought Of it TO
see whether my cash balanced, or, to
speak more accurately, to see whether
I still had the bulge on my vest
As soon as found this nervous
habit fastening itself upon me I was
sorry that I had not always carried
large sums Of money and got used to
the sensation, but it was too late for
vain regrets, and 1 determined to
make the best of it. But 1 decided
that would always in the future have
plenty of money.
1t was little too early in the sea-
son for the summer run of school
ma'ams on the lakes, and there were
only a few passengers on board the
steamboat. These were made mp
mostly of commercial travellers and a
fair assortment of those dusty booted,
slouch-hatted, shoddy-clad men who
travel on trains and boats everywhere
where without any apparent reason or
object. There was one lady on board.
There was also another passenger

money into lonely country should

reason of it, and l came to believe
that he was on the boat because wa
