CONTAGION AND INFECTION.
La Grippe Is Infectious but Not Con

Contagious diseases are commune

Smallpox is a contagious disease;
La Grippe Is infectious. When an epi-

The only safeguard is TO keep the

DR.. Admission says: Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets being free from cocaine and
harmful drugs should be freely used
at this time of the year on the first

They check the excessive catarrhal

Dr. Lewiston says: My usual pre-

1t is not anticipated that any very
great changes will have to be made
at the local government building TO

gress.
There are sufficient rooms on the sec

may accordingly desire to establish a

there are several rooms on the third

PETER THE GREAT.
Some Interesting "Reminiscences of the
 Great Russian Ruler.

The Czar Is very tall man, with handsome face and a noble bearing. His manner is most vivacious, and he is quick at repartee; but, with his great na tural gifts. it Is pity his tastes are not a little less barbarous. He was very cheerful and conversational, and we be- came great friends. My daughter and he exchanged snuffboxes: the Czars was embellished with his monogram, and my daughter treasures It. I asked him If he liked hunting; he said his father had liked 1t immensely. but for himself he had passion for navigation and fire works. He said he worked at shipbuild- ing himself, and showed us his hands with pride, and made us feel the blisters formed on them by hard labor. After sup per was over the Czar sent out for fid- dlers. and we danced some Russian dances. which I liked much better than the polonaise. It was daylight before we broke up.
 The Czar is quite an extraordinary man; it is impossible to form an opinion of him until one has seen him, and then 1t is i'm possible to describe him. He has kind heart and gave utterance to many lofty sentiments I must also tell you that he did not become the least intoxicated in our presence. but no sooner had we gone than his suite made up for lost time. He is most sensible to the charms of female beauty. but. to be just, saw no attempts

WONDERFUL CRAFT.
Steers Without Rudder and Remains
 Stationary Without an Anchor.

From the Boston Transcript
 To steer without rudder, to stop dead and remain stationary in any sea without an anchor, to obtain greater speed than the fastest "liner," to slow down to a snail's pace, and still have steerage way; or in other words, to be independent O. tides and currents to secure less racing of propellers, to be entitled to decreased nsurance-combined all these attributes. and the result sounds like a fairy tale. Captain Mark Golinsky of the United States mercantile marine, however, claims all these advantages and many more for an invention in screw-propelled vessels for the exploitation of which he is now in London. Just as the main mo- tive power of the birds in its wings. and of the fish in its pectoral and ventrai fins, the power in both cases being To- cated about one-third from the objective end and immediately behind the widest breadth, so in Captain Golinsky's ship, in addition to the usual propelling media aft. there are two screw-propellers forward, one on each side, about one-third of the distance from bow to stern.
 The form of these steamships is one which nature itself suggests "It Is a combination" says the inventor. of the codfish head and the maokerel tail, which lent the first ideas of swift craft to the builders of ships The bow of the hull is in the form of an arrowhead. the breadth and beam of the same increasing from the stem until 1t attains its maximum about one-third the length of the ship
 when 1t gradually curves literally. thus forming relative wide rounded shoulders, behind which the propellers are placed. The extreme width of the bow at its rear

ONE OF woMAN's FAlLINes.
Her Disposal of Pins Matter of Con-
 cern to a Steamship Line.

From the New York Sun.
 Woman's proneness to stick pin wherever convenient has proved a serious matter to one steamship con- pany. The line decided some time ago to place the most modern air-f1lled rub Der mattresses in the berths of the best rooms on two of it's biggest ships. Recently the stewards were kept busy at the completion of each trip with blowing up with air dozens of mat tresses that had collapsed from some unknown cause. It took the officials of the line some hours to discover the cause of the failure of the mattresses to maintain their proper condition. Hat pins, breast pins, safety pins, stick pins, every known kind of pin had done the mischief.
 "One advantage of these mat tresses," said the manufacturer. was that they were intended as life pre- servers or small rafts should the emergency arise. Give me a decent sized hat pin if you want to see me knock the ambition out of the average life preserver that depends upon air. The women tourists simply stabbed those mattresses to death"
 The steamship company now has this notice attacned to the door of every stateroom: Please do not stick pins in the berth cushions and mat tresses. Pins are injurious to them. "

The Managers Eagle.

From London Gentleman's Magazine.
 Stage properties in the early days of the nineteenth century were of the most primitive kind, and sometimes were lack ing altogether. One night the play was an adaptation from Der Freyschutz" the act where Walter has to shoot an eagle.
 Walter was there. gun in hand. ready to aim at the royal bird. But no royal or, indeed, any other specimen of the feathered race was forthcoming.
 MT Lee. the manager, was, as was his wont, seated in chair at the wings.
 where's the bird?" he shouts. No one knows. A regular scrimmage behind the scene while the stage waits!
 Can you find 1t. any of you?" GA pause.) Then Ca big D-), here goes my wig," which he snatched from off his head and flung across the stage.

extremity is thus greater than the body or afterportion of the hull at any point; the lower part of the vessels hull, aft of her forward propellers, is constructed so as to have clear run of water from such propelers.
 The fact that this ship has her pro- pellers driven by distant engines will in- sure less liability to disablement by loss of stern screw, breakdown of engine or shaft. The arrow-headed steamship IS in dependent of the rudder, as in the case of accident with tide, wind or current against her, and can safely approach quays. wharves or other, vessels without tug or line assistance.
 If required to land against surface wash or currents, by running her forward pro- pellers against the current and increasing the speed of the after one going astern, the vessel will be dragged into her berth, while by qualizing the speed of her pro- pellers she can remain almost motion less without lines out or anchor down..

Strawberries.

Now that strawberries are in season, nearly everyone has them once a day on their tables.
 Many people consider them the finest of all the small fruits and I recall that Bishop Butler once said, God might have created better berry. but he never did" :"
 Strawberries lose much of their de- licious flavor If washed, yet it Is difficult to clear them from grit and dirt without this.
 They should always be hulled before washing, then just rinsed and put In cullender to draln.
 Their color and flavor are closely asso- ciated, and if berries lose color in the cooking, they also lose flavor. and in Be- lecting berries for preserving. select the most highly coiored ones.
 Generally strawberries preserve their flavor best when washed and made Into jam. ..
 Whenever you can get fine. large ber- ries. rich in color. the best way to serve them is with the hulls on, sprinkled with powdered sugar or have the sugar in a saucer or case and dip them.

 MT. Brownell was one of the first for eigners to be employed as an instructor In the government schools of Tokio, and thus enjoyed the rare advantage of know ing the natives intimately, and of enter ing more fully into their lives than would be possible for anyone not so situated 10 do.
