Eisb Poisoning.

In the United States fish poisoning is
most frequently due to decomposition
in canned fish. The most prominent
symptoms are nausea, vomiting and
purging. Sometimes there Is a scarla-
tinous rash, which may cover the
whole body. The writer has studied
two outbreaks of this kind of fish poi
soning. In both instances canned salm-
on was the cause of the trouble. Al
though a discussion Of the treatment of
food poisoning is foreign to this paper,
the writer must call attention to the
danger in the administration of OPT
ates in cases Of poisoning with canned
fish.
Vomiting and purging are efforts on
the part Of nature to remove the poi
son and should be assisted by the stom-
ach tube and by irrigation of the colon.
In one of the cases seen by the writer
large doses of morphine had been adj
ministered in order to check the vonl-
iting and purging and to relieve the
pain. In this case death resulted. The
danger of arresting the elimination Of
the poison in all cases of food poison
ing cannot be too emphatically con-
demned.-Victor G. Vaughan in Pop
ular Science Monthly.

The sailor and the Fisurcheaa.

Old sailors sigh us they wander
around the water front these days and
note the disappearance Of the famous
old figurehead, which used to be the
delight of every clipper ships crew.
They were huge wooden images Of nj
most everything imaginable, but the
female form predominated. Many flg
ureheads were to represent the fair
one after whom the ship was named,
and there Is an old sea yarn about Il
sailor who fell in love with the hand
some wooden female which adorned
his ship. He used to slip down the
dolphin striker" and hang on there,
while the ship bowed and lurched,
talking love to the figurehead. Finally,
according to forecastle tradition, the
figure sneezed, and the sailor. who was
known as Lovely Mike" because he
was the ugliest man that ever set foot
on ships deck, nearly fell into the
sea. He recovered his senses and said.
"Did you speak"
mo, l didn't speak," returned the
figure. 81 just sneezed to attract your
attention. You're known as Lovely
Mike amt you? You're a married
man, amt you? And your wife has to
take in washing both when you're at
home and when you're away, because
she can never get cent out Of you.
Mr.. Farmer, just climb back to the
forecastle and don't bother any more
about me-"
This rather curt interview is alleged
to have worked marked change in
Mike, and when he got home he aston
ished his wife by giving her couple
of dollars.-Baltimore News.

May Have Outflan iked British.

The Highlanders. it is believed, must
have stormed the Boer position more
than once. while the fact that the
Guards were ordered to support the
Highlanders' rear. looks as though the
Beers may even have outtlanlled their
attackers. One report says that Gen
eral Cronje attacked the British. The
only compensation the British have
been able to discover in the diSheart-
ening story is in General Metheuen's
statement that he maintains his po-
sition close to the Beers, arousing
hope that he will retrieve the situation.
IT is apparent that the bombardment
Of Saturday and Sunday did not shake
the Beers grip on their position. and
il seems certain that they merely
withdrew their guns aud riflemen I'M
der cover, while General Methuen in
dulged in the usual artillery prelim-
inaries Monday and that when the
British guns were obliged to cease fir
ing, owing to the danger OF hitting the
advancing troops, the Beers speedily
re-Occupied their trenches and over
whelmed the Highlanders with ter
rihle fire. probably accompanying this
by an attack on the British right flank
and rear.

General Methuen, as expected, fol-
lowed up his artillerw attack with a
general assault on the Boer positions
Monday and his report shows that the
anxiety of the public regarding the re-
suit occasioned by the Ominous ST.
lence of the war office was amply
justified. The engagement was evil

General Methuen, dated Tuesday, Dec.
u:
"Our artillery shelled a very strong
position held by the enemy in a long,
high kopje, from until dusk, Sun
day. 1t rained hard last night. The
Highland brigade attacked at day
break on Monday the south end OF the
kopje. The attack was properly timed
but failed. The guards were ordered
to protect the Highlands right and

terry attacked the enemy on the left
and the guards on the right, support
ed by field artillery and howitzer ar
tillery. They shelled the position
from daybreak, and at 1:15 sent the

Alarm In Many Quarters.

Alarm is beginning to be expressed
in many quarters as to the situation
of General Methuen. AS the West
minister Gazette says: IF England
ever needed victory it is now. and it
is to Butler. the soldier. strong, cool
headed and reticent. that the country
looks for this victory
The other papers are abusing the
government for its "complacent opti-
mism" and inability to grasp the
strength of the opposition it has to
overcome in south Africa. Considera-
bic significance attaches to General
Methuen's statement that he is en-
trcnchng himself, indicating fear that
the Beers may follow up their adj
vantage, adopt the offensive and at
tack him. Indeed. the gravity of the
situation from the British point of
view can hardly be overestimated
General Methuen's long lines Of COM
munication TO De Aar are most vul-
nerable Should they be cut, General
Methuen will find himself in very
tight place, If only from lack of sup
plies.
