STRANGE UMBRELLA DISEASE.

The umbrella disease" is a strange
new affection. William Michaels, a
lawyer of Parker, Pa, has just re-
turned TO his home, after a seven
months unsuccessful stay in this city,
where he came in the hope of being
cured of this strange disease.
A few years g Mr.. Michaels got
into the habit of carrying an umbrella
about with him everywhere, no mat
ter how favorable the weather might
be. The umbrella was no ~inconsider-
able weight, and the constant pressure
of the bend of the handle on the ball
Of his thumb finally resulted in the
formation Of a ~callosity there. Short
ly afterward the calloused part began
to sting at intervals, unil gradually it
became so hat the pain was contin-
uous and almost unbearable.
When Mr.. Michaels came to this city
| eight months ago the first physician
he sought told him that his hand was
gradually turning to stone, and that
the only thing for him to do was to
have the hand amputated. Michaels
refused to give up hope, and went
about from physician to physician, I'M
til when, a few weeks ago, his hand
had become as rigid and cold as mar
BILE, he reluctantly agreed to have his
hand amputated at the wrist. Now he
is relieved of all pain.
A somewhat similar case occurred
in London a short time age, when g
member of paliament had his hand
turn to stone from carrying a heavy
cane.
It will be remembered also that thu
since dead ossiied man claimed tina,
his Justification began in his feet ant
that the doctors attributed the cause
to the wearing of extremely tigh
shoes. "Corns' are simply a modih
cation of ossiication.-New York Jour
nal.

the canvas SILVER.
l could see the lights that glittered
in the distant villages that studded the
low but fertile peninsula of SAVANNA.

the hour and the vast solitude of the

far away, in dear old England.
The brig was gliding through the
water rapidly, but im~perceptibly, and
almost without a sound; the men of
the watch were leaning over the bull
wark to leeward, and the air, the sea
and all aloft and below seemed to
sleep in the moonlight; not a reef
point battered on the taut canvas, and
scarce a wavelet rippled save in the
dead water astern that marked the
white wake of the Eugene.
Suddenly a shrill and piercing cry
rang out upon the night. and Antonio
the Cuban rushed cut from the fore
castle with the widest terror ex-
pressed in his black eyes; his visage
was pale and CHASTITY, and the perspira-
ton glittered like bead drops on his
clammy brow. With his bare feet he
stumbled over the chain cable, which
lay coiled up on the deck, for on that
afternoon We had hauled it up and
bent it to the working anchor.
He came running aft in his shirt,
brandishing a knife in his hand, and
exclaiming in fierce and then implor-
ing accents:
who says l did it? Who dares to
say so?"
Then, letting his arms drop as he
skunk back to his bunk, we heard him
groan out:
eel cuchillo-el cuchillo." (the knife
the knife.)
Hence, under such circumstances, it
may easily be supposed that among
the crew there floated strange and
dark surmises as to the past life OF
Antonio ell Cubano.

SHARKS AND DEAD WHALE.
All Anxious for a Bite of the Huge

The presence of any large quantity
of easily ~obtainable food is always suf-

neighborhood of New Zealand, to get
a sperm whale alongside without a
sign of a shark below or a bird above.
Within an hour from the time of our
securing the vast mass of flesh in the
ship the whole area within at least an
acre has been alive with q seething
multitude of sharks. while from every
quarter came drifting silently an in
| ~calculable host of sea birds, convert
ing the blue surface of the sea into the
semblance of a plain of new fallen
snow. The body of a whale before an
incision is made in the blubber pre-

most as hard as India rubber, with APP
parently no spot where any daring
eater could find toothhold. But, obliv-
ious of all else save that internal an
guish of desire, the r%avening sea-
wolves silently writhed in the density
of their hordes for a place at the
bounteous feast. Occasionally one pre-
eminent among his fellows for enter
prise would actually set his lower jaw
against the black roundness of the
mighty carcass and, with a steady
sinuous thrust of his 1.-THE tail, gouge
out therefrom a mass of a hundred
weight or so. If he managed to gel
away with it, the space left presented a
curious corrugated hollow, where the
serrated triangular teeth had worried
their way through the tenacious sub
stance, telling plainly what vigorous
force must have been behind them.

such premature toll to be taken of our
spoil. The h%arpooners and officers

On hearing this the telescope was

ing that my experience in Manitoba
might be both useful and interesting
to my fellow-countrymen in the United
States who may be looking to Mani
toba and the northwest with the in
tention of settling there, / have much
pleasure in stating that through in
formation received from Mr.. w. f.
MCCreary, immigration commissioner
at Winnipeg, | was induced to visit
Manitoba in February, 1898. When 1
called upon Mr.. McCreary he spared no
pains to give me all the information,
etc, in his possession, the result OF
which was hat | came here with a
letter of Introduction from him to the
secretary of the Virden Board OF
Trade. That gentleman provided me
with a competent land guide, and,
although there was considerable snow
on the ground, | had no difficulty in
selecting three hOmesteads for myself
and sons. Having made the necessary
homestead entries at the land office in
Brandon, | returned to my home in
Lyon county, Minnesota, and came back
here in May following, accompanied
by one Of my boys, bringing with us
two teams of horses, Implements, etc.
Our first work was to erect a temp J.
rary Shanty and stable, after which
we broke and leyeled seventy-five
acres and put up thirty tons Of hay.
| went back to Minnesota about July
20, leaving my son here. / returned
in October, bringing my family with
me. | found hat the land we had
acquired was of good quality, being
a strong clay loan with clay subsoil.
Last spring | sowed 100 acres in wheat
and fifty acres In oats and barley.
/ (Sevcnty-hve acres of this grain was
soWed on "go-back" plowed last
spring) My crop was thrashed in
October, the result being over 2,700
bushels of grain in all. Wheat aver
aged fifteen bushels per acre and
graded No. / hard, but that which was
sown on land other than sod ego
back') went twenty four and one-half
bushels per acre.
To say that | am well pleased with
the result of my first years farming
operations in Manitoba does not ade-
quately express my feelings, and I
have no hesitation in advising those
who are living in districts where land
is high in price to come out here, II
they are willing to do a fair amount
Of work. | am ten miles from Virden,
which is a good market town, and nine

a very moderate price. There are still
some homesteads in this district, and

terms. Good water is generally found
