EARTHQUAKE ONLY JARREp IT
The Damage TO Muir GIncier in
Alnsl<a Much Less Than Was
Reported.

The reported destruction of the fa-
nous Muir glacier on the shores of
Glacier bay, Alaska, by an earthquake
last year is pronounced untrue by
William L. Pearce, who got within four
miles of the glacier in August of this
year on the excursion steamer Queen,
says the New York Sun. Pearce says:
THE Muir glacier is just as grand
as ever. The trouble this season has
been that vessels have not been able
to get close enough for passengers to
see it. The earthquake shook off large
masses of ice from the face of the
glacier, which, when floating in the
bay, appear as huge icebergs and block
the passage of vessels. BY next sea-
son the bay will be clear again and
the glacier can be approached as in
former years.
The damage by the earthquake is
but as a drop in the bucket. can bet
ter explain its work by saying that it
took off the face of the glacier for so
feet or so, while the main body extends
back, visible to the eye, 20 miles. The
glacier runs back from its face on Gla-
cier bay to the head of the Davidson
glacier, which faces on Lynn canal, a
distance of As miles. All this season
Muir inlet has been full of small bergs,
so that vessels, after proceeding as
far as they could, were forced to back
out. On the August trip of the Queen
the surface of the glacier looked to
be from 25 to 30 feet high, but it is
in reality from $50 to 200 feet high.
Next year people will be able to get
close to it, and will find it just as large
and just as grand as it ever was. As
rule vessels have not been able, dur
ing the past season, to get closer than
10 or Is miles to the glacier"

The most recent statistics show n
decrease of the birth rate in every
European country, the average de-
crease being three per cent. since
1891. This is a curious fact and seems
to show that the Malthusian theory
failed to take into account certain con-
ditions in nature that tend TO prevent
the overpopulation of the earth. For
some time it has been known that the
birth rate in France has been unsatis-
factory. But ii was not suspected that
every country in Europe was in the
same declining condition, though to d
less degree.

PERSONAL CLEANLINESS.
BODY from Common AZ
fections.

The daily bath is necessary for clean
illness. and especially for the training
of the skin to aptagonize the evil effects
of clothing. Two or three times week
little soap should be used, especially
about those parts of the body where oil
is secreted and filth accumulates. The
warm cleansing bath once or twice n
week is essential. 1t is best taken at
bedtime. Eczema and other skin dis
eases abound in countries where the
bath is rarely used. A historian of the
middle ages asserts that during o
thousand years no man, woman or
child in all Europe took a bath except
by accident. Scrofula and various
forms of skin disease existed to "a
frightful extent during this period,
says Good Health.
Special attention must be given to
the scalp, by the use of fine comb
and good brush daily, and by sham
pooing with fine soap once week.
Beneath the finger nails is favor
able hiding lace for all kinds of germs,
which, through accidental incubation,
may give rise to disease of the eyes and
infections of other sorts. Take care
never to soil the fingers with anything
infectious when it is possible to avoid
it. If such contamination occurs,
cleanse the hands at once. Water as
hot as can be borne and good yellow or
soft soap are safe disinfectants if thor
oughly employed. Attend to the teeth
before and after meals.
If catarrh or cold exist. take good
care of the nose, by properly using the
handkerchief. 1t is well, also, to use
some form of vaporizer to introduce
some antiseptic which will destroy the
germs growing on the mucous-mem-
brane of the nose. Always avoid clos
ing both nostrils in blowing the nose.
When this precaution is neglected, air
is driven into the middle ear and skull
bones. causing disease of these parts.
Coughing should be avoided. The spu-
tum should not be expectorated
upon the ground, but into a cloth and
burned. This will prevent scattering
of the germs of tuberculosis and other
microbes that might be in the sputum
1t is needless TO warn the reader of the
dangers of the filthy habit of swallow
ing the accumulations from the nasal
passages. This sometimes results in
chronic gastritis or catarrh of the
stomach.
If the feet perspire freely, change the
hose daily.

STOWAWAYS THAT WERE PETS
An Interesting Pair That Came
Abroad to Ciiy of Rome on
Recent Trip.

A pair without money, passage tick
cts or luggage boarded the steamship
City of Rome on her last trip from
Glasgow to this port just at the clos
ing hour for sailing, says New York
exchange. They did not attempt to
conceal themselves as stowaways, but
deliberately moved among the passen-
gers. AS night came on they failed to
go into a stateroom. They did not ask
for a place at the table. As soon as
their presence became known to most
of the passengers they We'd with one
another in making this pair comfort
able. AS it grew darker they disap-
peared, but with the break of day they
were found upon the deck again, as
happy as could be, and they did not
leave the ship the entire voyage.
They were a pair of sparrows, and
they became so tame that they would
eat from the hand of passenger while
perched upon the passengers other
hand. The children of the ship became
fond of them, and just as the vessel
was nearing port one of the birds was
killed by the fall of a little girl who
had it in her hand.
In the excitement of the near ap-
proach to land the other was forgotten
and the time of its disappearance was
unknown.

ENGINEERS HAUNTED HOUSE,
New York Railway Men Affected by
the Memory of Dead Face
at window.

Some houses are haunted to some
people and all right to Others" said an
engineer on the Ninth avenue elevated
road, relates the New York Sun.
There is a house on our line that is
haunted to the men who have been on
this run for few years back. Maybe
you remember the story. 1t was print
ed when the incident happened. One
of our men noticed mans face at the
window overlooking the road. Every
time the train passed for three days,
believe, the engineer saw the face. II
was always the same. Then he told
somebody else about it and on investi-
cation it was discovered that the man
at the window was dead. He occupied
the room alone. There was no one else
in the house. He had killed himself and
in note found on his table it was writ
ten that the man was lonesome, and
that he had raised the window just
before the act so that he might die in
the noise of the city. That was all there
was to the story.
Every since that time every en-
gineer and fireman on the line who was
employed at that time turns his face
away in passing that house. have
heard them all speak of it, and to each
of them that house is haunted, al
though it is now occupied, and don't
suppose the people who live there know
anything about the story. / know

ANegleeted Native Frnat.

The persimmon is one of our native wild
fruits which is susceptible 10 great i'm
provement by proper selection and cross
fertilization. 1t is a Southern fruit, hardy
as far north as New York, but is little
known outside of it's native belt and not
given much attention there as regards cul-
tiVation, The fruit which varies much
in size and form, ripens from August to
December, and until thoroughly ripe is
very astringent or puckery, but after
ripeniug il is the sweetest of our native
fruits, containing 20 per cent. of sugar as
against u for apples, II for cherries, 9 for
oranges and So for strawberries.
1t has generally been supposed that frost
is needed to ripen them, but such is not
the case for all varieties. for the early
sorts are ripe and gone long before frost
appears. The native sorts are from one
half 10 two inches in diameter, contain
usually from four to eight seeds and vary
greatly in shape. as shown by the illus
ira The japanese kinds are larger
heavier and contain fewer seeds. but are
less sweet. The trees, in the open. grow
not over forty feet high and are self
fertile although a few male trees are
found which bear no fruit. Varieties do
not come true from seed, and resource
must be had to grating or budding which

the Seeding trees are not easily trans
planted except when under two years old.
They come into bearing from three TO five
years from the graft.
Persimmous do well on almost any soil
but best, however, on locations similar to
that demanded by the peach and plum.
They draw rather more heavily upon the
fertility of the soil than most other fruits,
but send their roots so deeply that they
thrive on the poorest soils. The fruit has

not money maker under ordinary con-
ditions and We do not care to breed
sheep that has to be bolstered up by out
side conditions in order to make it profit
able. The point is TO breed sheep that
will be a money maker of itself.
1t is not a good plan to undertake to
handle sheep with poor fences or fences
that will scarcely restrain cattle. We
have known men to start in the sheep
business with a two-w fence with a post
semi-occa sionaly, and they soon had diff
ferences with their neighbors and found
out all at once that sheep did not pay
IN that locality anyhow Sheep are not
difficult to restrain, so long as they have
plenty of pasture, but if pasture gets a
little short they will try a poor fence
pretty hard.
Sheep possess many good qualities not
found in any other kind Of stock and
they have to be kept and managed by
the peopfs who like the business. A good
profit is an essential thing to make some
men like a business, but in the sheep bust
ness, liking it is really necessity. They
will do very well on plenty of pasturage
and that should be short and sweet rath-
er than abundant and of excessive grow ill.,
They are grazers first, and browsers
when pasture fails They will live on
short grass where other farm stock would
not do we'll. They do not require so
much grain as other animals, but the i'm
proved method of keeping sheep means
feeding more grain than was fed to sheep
forty years ago. Because they have a
good fleece of wool is no reason why they
should be exposed to storms. Dry cold
weather does not affect them as much as
cold and wet The peculiar construction
Of their feet demands that they should be
kept as dry as possible. A good farm
equipped with good buildings and fences
is a good place and a man who has made
a success with swine or cattle will do we'll
with sheep could he bend his efforts in
that direction. Protect your own flock
of sheep-let the chips fall where they
may.
