OF all the victories won in the field
by the army created for the war Of
1898 none reflect upon it such credit
as its triumph in the campaign against
disease. of that triumph the war de-
partment reports particulars which
almost stagger belief. The army took
charge of Havana when deaths were
occurring at the rate of 81, 252 per year.
Now, with larger population, they
are but 5,72o per year. Smallpox,
which had been for years epidemic, 10

Taste. of the otter.

The otter, Us is well-known. will eat
none but the choicest portions of the
fish 1t catches; and will, for preference,
select even those choice portions from
the plumpest and best-tasting vari-
cites. 1t is this trait in it's character
which leads it TO play such havoc in
trout streams and other preserved wa
tiers. In order TO provide for itself a
meal Of perhaps two or three dozen
mouthfuls, the otter will not infre-
quently catch and kill nearly as many
fine fish, contenting itself with n small
portion from the back of each victim
Immediately behind the gills. When
an otter kills a moorhen-which is not
seldom when these birds abound near
Its habitat-it devours the neck only,
leaving the body intact, and devoid Of
every drop of blood.-Nature.

WORK OF HOUSEKEEPING.
rience Count for Much In the
salvage.

"Housewrecking," said a dealer in sec
ond-hand building materials, according
to the New York Sun, has come to be
a trade which men follow steadily
Just as they do any other employ
ment, working at it the year round
and year in and year out.
"Ihereare some hundreds of house,
wreckers, take them altogether, in
New York, men who are constantly
engaged in pulling down buildings or
in handling the secondhand mate
rial, and in all the various branches
of this work skill and experience
count. as they do in any work.
ut might seem as though any man
that has strength enough for II could
go into a house with a crowbar and
rip up the floor. and so he could, but
an unskilled and inexperienced man
would split and splinter the stun
and make II useless for anything but
kindling wood, while a capable man
would take up flooring, tongued and
grooyed stuff, IL might be, in the
same time, without injuring IL, get
ting IL up in such condition that 1t
could be sold again for flooring.
Zone way of doing the work would
result in loss to the dealer in mate
rial who had contracted to remove
the building, and the other in q
profit. So, while IL might look as
II the work of demolishing a build
ing was being carried. on without a
thought Of anything but getting IL
down and out OF the way. as q mat
ter Of fact care Is constantly exer-
cised 10 get the stuff out in such con-
dition that IL can be used again and
so can be sold again.
"In pulling down walls, and that
sort of thing, there is call not only
for strength and skill. but for courage
and nerveas well. Housewrecking is Of
course hazardous employment, and
the rates OF insurance on those en-
gagged in II are high.
"The beginners at this work start
on the ground level knocking the
plaster off bricks, carrying out stuff,
and so on, and piling bricks, and
that sort of thing. From this they
get into bar work and up onto the
various floors of building at work
of one sort and another, and finally
onto the walls.
AIT first in the various employ
ments in the business above ground
they work where there are still re-
manning floors, or at least floor
beams. but coming gradually, II they
are able to do the work, TO standing on
the top of bare and unprotected
wall, where an ordinary and inexpe-
rienced man would have difficulty in
keeping his balance at all. but where
the housewrecker not only does that,
but works away all the time with a
crowbar.
But not even every housewrecker
Is up to that by any means. Some
men, in fact, never get above the
ground.
'.Take. for instance. the case of a

when ne wind struck il. Out of 200
men there would be only two or
shree men who could walk along and
work upon the top OF this wall, and
these men would be daredevils.
"Housewreckers work for one
concern and another as opportunity
offers; one concern may have in
hand at one time but little tearing
down, while another has lot of IL
going on. with consequently in
creased demand for wreckers. But

terisls aim TO keep all their best
