TO FIGHT YELLOW FEVER,
New Hospital ON Scientific Plan
Opened In Havana-NO Cases Yet.

New Hospital ON Scientific Plans
opened In Havana-NO Cases Yet.
Washington. Feb. 20.-Surgeon Gener-
al Sternberg has been notified from Ha-
Vana that Major Quicker, brigade sur
Eeon, United States volunteers, has
been put in charge of the new yellow
fever hospital there. This hospital was
ore of the Spanish barracks and has
been completely renovated, ssientifical-
~ cleansed and QUILTED as one OF the
most perfect of modern hospitals.
Major Quicker has applied to the sur
seon general for immune nurses, saying
that their quarters are now ready and
that the hospital itself is ready for &C.
cupation.
So far as the medical department Is
Informed officially there are as yet no
cases OF yellow fever to be treated, but
aside from the sporadic cases that &C.
cur from time to time in Cuba the ap-
rroach of the rainy season in the course
of couple of months is likely to bring
the usual annual crop of fever cases.
Much, however, is hoped from the eff
forts put forth by the military authori-
ties wherever they have taken charge
to put the Cuban towns in sanitary con-
ait!on. and with the precautions to be
adopted for the protection of United
States troops who will remain in Cuba
during the summer it is believed that
the number of fever cases will be re-
ducad 10 minimum.

His Mustard Platter.

The mustard plaster is a harmless
looking wafer, but it must be handled
with as much circumspection as a
woman. There was . newly married
man once whose wife told him to put
on Il mustard plaster to cure cold. He
had faith in her, and put it on. Then
he went to sleep. being gifted with the
power of sleeping under torrents which
is not given to one man in thousand.
The plaster seemed to him somewhat
professionally hot, but be argued that
the hotter it was the better. Besides,
he had confidence in his wife. Next day
he found well developed blister on his
chest. and his wife only laughed and
said she had supposed any one would
have sense enough to take off plaster
when it hurt him. Though that was II
months ago, the mark of the plaster is
still upon the man like brand, and he
now regards his wife's remedies with
suspicion. New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser.

Old and New.

An English newspaper contains an
interesting parallel, discovered by a
classical scholar. First comes transla-
ton from the original Greek Of Anti
pater Of Thessalonica:
Once upon u time, when ship was
shattered Mt sea. two men fell at strife,
fighting for one plank. Antagoras struck
away Pisistratus. One could not blame
him; it was for his life. But justice
took cognizance. The other swan
ashore; but him (Antagoras) dogfish
seized Surely the avenger Of the fates
rests not. even in the watery deep.
Then an incident recorded in the Lon
don Chronicle serves to translate the
story into modern event and to show
how life repeats itself:
Two bluciackets, named Friday and
Painter, were capsized from boat at
Weymouth. After struggle to get into
the wateflogged boat Friday beat his
comrade of, and Painter swan ashore.
Friday got into the boat and was drown
