MARINES INTERFERED.
Patrolman Record Roughly Used by a
Crowd ON Green Street.

Officer Record was a passenger on the
patrol wagon on its trip from Green
street, about 9 O'Clock last evening. One
side of his face was bruised and bleed
ing, both hands scratched, his hat spat-
tered with mud, his broken watch chain
dangling and his collar torn from his
shirt fastening.
He had been having 15.minute ses-
sion with a crowd Of roughs on Green
street. His pluck had not been Iessened
by the encounter, but he was feeling
blue over the escape of his prisoner whoss
arrest had been the asis of the trouble.
Officer Record was patrolling the beat
alone when he met hurley citizen con-
siderably under the influence of liquor,
and engaged in noisy argument with
some companions. The officer attempted
by the intoxicated individual. The dis
turber was soon on his back, with the Off
Ger ON top of him. Then the crowd, in
cluding several marines from one of the
forts, took hand.
The officer was pulled off his prisoner
ana when theilatter was for moment
liberated he rushed at the peaoe.preserver
like madman. Again they grappled
and the prisoner was subdued, but the
bystanders again set upon the officer and
succeeded in getting the prisoner away,
closing in between him and the officer.
1t was hopeless fight against so many,
and all that Record could do was to send
in call for the patrol 1t happened that
the wagon was responding to another call
at the time, SO that considerable time
elapsed before he was reinforced-too late
to reoapture the prisoner, who had been
spirited away.
The patrol wagon was kept busy far
| into the night in a fruitless search for
the assailant. He is known to the Off
GERS and 1t is only question OF time
when they will land him.

CHARD.

Old Orchard, June 19.-The two rasted
schooner Grecian Bend, Captain Benzan-
sen, laden with 800 tons of plaster rock
for parties in Boston, sprung aleak late
yesterday afternoon and filed with water
SO rapidly that to prevent her from sink

lies in an easy position on the sand and
will probably be saved. About sixty tons
of her cargo was thrown overheard this
morning and an attempt was made to
float her, but without success. Another
attempt will be made tonight at high
tide, but Captain Benzansen is of the
opinion that the entire cargo will have to
be dumped before the vessel will float
She is owned by Il. A. Mosher of Wind

il The Murderous Kea.

Scientists have been some time
studying the habits of the bird known
as the kea,, or the mountain parrot OF
New Zealand, which has acquired the
remarkable habit of. attacking sheep
and tearing open their backs by
means of its sharp and powerful beak
for the. purpose of abstracting the
kidney fat, which appears to be es-
teemed as a luxurious diet. It has
been suggested that this peculiar hab-
# or instinct was developed by the
bird getting the fat from the skins OF
sheen that had been slaughtered, but
this solution is not very satisfactory,
as there appears nothing to connect
the fat on the skins of sheep with
live animals. A more probable solu-
tion of the origin of the habit is az
follows: IN the billy districts Of New
Zealand there is a great abundance of
white moss or lfchen which exactly
resembles a lump Of white wool, ut
the roots of which are found small
white fatty substances, supposed Dy
some to be the seeds Of the plant, and
nv others to be a grub which infes.-
ed it, and these are q favorable food
Of the kea. Probably the bird, misled
by its resemblance. commenced an ex-
ploration. in the backs OF sheep, aud
this proving satisfactory originated
the new habit. In any event It is GER

but trained nurses often suffer from
swollen feet, especially when they first

much used In the German army for SLIT
ing into the shoes and stockings Of the
Infantry soldiers might be of service,
It consists Of three parts Of s~alicyiic
acid, ten parts Of starch and eighty
seven parts of p%ulverized soapstone.
THIS keeps the feet dry, prevents char

stone alone, without the other ingre-
dents, has also been found useful and
soap alone will give relief when well
