that the Garronne sighted considerable

sale, but purchasers cannot be found.
There are several small schooners in the

The following is from Max Mullers Aulo
Lang Syne, Scribner Sons:
'sWell, Liszt appeared In his Hunga-
rian costume. wild and magnificent. he
told Mendelssohn that he had written
something special for him. He sat down
and, swaying right and left on MS music
stool. played first q Hungarian melody
and then three or four variations, one
more incredible than the other.
"We stood amazed, and after every
body had paid his compliments 10 the
hero of the day. some OF Mendelssohn's
friends gathered around him and said
'Ah, Felix, now we can pack up c'jetzt
konnen wir einpacken') No one can do
that; IL Is over with us! Mendeissonn
smiled; and when List came up to him
asking him to play something in turn, he
laughed and said that he never played
now; and this. 10 certain extent, was
true. He did not give much time 70
practicing then, but worked chlefiy az
composing and directing his concerts
However Liszt would take no refusal.
and so at last little Mendelssohn, with
his own charming playfulness, said:
We'll. I'll play, but you must promise
me not TO be angry And what did ne
play? He sat down and played first OF
all Iiszt't Hungarian melody, and then
one variation after another, so that no
one but List himself could have told the
difference. We all trembled lest Llszt
should be offended, for Mendelssohn
could not keep himself from slightly imi-
tating LISTS movements and raptures.
However, Mendelssohn managed never TO
offend man, woman or child. Liszt laugh
ed and applauded, and admitted that no
one. not ne himself, could have performed
such a bravura."

From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
Washington, Sept 21-It was the COM
mon housefiy that had most to do with
the spread of typhoid fever in the camps,
and is directly responsible for the deaths
of hundreds of brave soldiers This is
the conclusion of a commission of scien-
tihc men appointed by the war depart
ment composed of Maj. Lee, DR.. Vernon
c. Vaughn and DIR. e. o. Shakespeare Of
Philadelphia, all prominent army surgeons.
The commission visited the camps at Jack
sonvile, Huntsville, Fernandina and
Chckamagua.
The commission found that flies, as was
naturally the case. were present in the
Chickamagua camp by the millions. 1t
was the same way in every camp The
surgeons found that the flies fed off the
matter from the hospitals, and at meal
time shared the bareback and bacon Of
the soldiers. The fly picked up on his
six hairy little feet lnhnitesmal particles
containing the germs of typhoid fever, ana
walked over the bareback and bacon. OF
course, 1t wasn't the water at Chicka-
manga The commission proves this by
one company that did not drink the Chick
amagua creek water, and had no typhoid
until after a long, heavy rain. The flies
took refuge in the tents of this company,
and before they had been there long
number of the men were down with ty-
phoid fever
AT Fernandina the refuse barrels were
carried through the street of a Wisconsin
company and spilled over. Here again
the fly got in his work. Feeding on the
matter thus dumped at the very doors

If there was commotion before among

was some time before a dozen of them
dared to look into the cells and examine
the door where their prisoners (Y were

But Ralph knew that after a time the

improving in quantity and quality. There
was so much gained.

daring as ever prisoner attempted. For
