SMALLPOX AT
FARM HURST,

Smallpox Yesterday developed ~
the Delaware State Hospital at
Furnhurst, and there are in the in
sti,ution four INN tes suffering with
the disc sse. Whether the outbreak
is the result of the insane
hospital being close 10 the
Emergency Hospital. or whether
the diseas was carried into the in.
slitution by visitors, has been de-
termined. As soon as it became
known that smallpox bad broken
out iu the institution DR.. John ].
Black, preside Mt of the Board OF
Trustees, and Or. Alexander Low.
ber, secretary of the State Board OF
Health. visited thcj Hospital. In.
mune nurses were summoned from
Philadelphia and the building was
thoroughly fumigated. A strict
quarantine was at tonce,
aud Superintendent IIancxer re-
quests all visitors 10 remain away
for they will not"be admitted under
any circumstances. DR.. Lowber
also ordered quarantine Of the
county almshouse, close 10 the 10.
sane hospital.
How the disc ase originated is a
mystery. The first patentto be at.
lacked was a colored man in ward
d. He was iso! !ated practically be-
forethe d sease appe ared on bin, aud
the attack was sudden. lie was
suffering with ST. Vitus' dance aud
was under restraint to keep from
falling. and no one except the reg
u!ar attendants came near him..
This man at $50 o'clock in the
morning was apparently healthy
and strong, and III less than three
hours he had every symptom OF
smallpox. Soon after three white
women in wards A and B were
taken i'll with the disease. and yes.
terday afternoon another women
was apparently suffering from it.
AS soon as it was established that
it was smallpox one Of the new
wards in tie rev building was
cleared and it was turned into a
hospital for contagious diseases.
All the patients and the suspects
were placed in it and two expert
nurses summoned from Phladel-
phia. The entire institution was
fumigaicd and this morning all the
Inmates will be vaccinated. There
are at present 800 persons in the
hospital and nearly all OF then. have
been vaccinated during the past
year.
Throughout Yesterday DR.. Hanck.
er and his assistants worked hard.
Superintendent Hancker is devot-
ing all his time to prevent the di-
sease spreading, aud he has made
the quarantine so rigid that he has
iso|ated himself from his own home
near the hospital. He will not leave
the building. and neither will any
one else No patients will be al
lowed to depart from now until it IS
fully established that the disease
has entirely disappeared.

Three Great NnNigntors.

To review the work Of Columbus
without referring to that Of Vespucius
and Magellan would leave the story Of
new sea and world discovery discon-
nected and incomplete. This will be
patent when 1t is remembered that,
though believer in the rotundity Of
the earth. 1t was not Columbus. but
Magellan, who first physically demon
strated that fact by circumnavigation.
And Magellan might have failed but
for the previous work Of Vespucius.
The latter had explored the Atlantic
coast OF South America farther south
than any OF his predecessors and the
south Atlantic ocean eastward to the
islands of South Georgia, nearly to the
parallel of Cape Horn.
BY this journey Vespucius demon
strated with a considerable degree Of
certainty that the strait, which had
for some years been looked for. lead
Ing to the elusive unknown sea that
bounded the eastern coast Of Asia, was
nor to be found through the new lands
of the west north Of "a degrees south
at all events. The mouth Of the ANA
zon. the bays Of Rio Janeiro and Of the
La Plata had been explored and were
found to contain fresh water, so that
through none of these could an en-
trance to the unknown sea on the far
ther west be found.

The Teacher and the Shirt.

There IS teacher in a school in a
town in New Jersey who has Brooklyn
relatives, since 1t is her birthplace and
was her residence until she wandered
into the wilds Of Jersey to train the
youthful savage in the way he should
educationally go. Among her scholars
was one boy, Tommy Russell, who
was well nigh incorrigible. One day,
patience exhausted, the teacher caught
the lad and gave him shaking that
made his teeth rattle in their sockets.
More, so vigorous was her clutch that
she tore his shirt The next morning
the lad appeared with neat bundle,
laying it before the teacher on the
desk.
What is this, Tommy" asked the
teacher.
~ dunno, teacher" was the reply.
"Me mudder sed Civ t'youse."
The teacher opened the bundle to
find Tommy's torn shirt with this
memorandum:
you tore the shirt; now you can
mend it"-Brooklyn Eagle.

AN AhEhlSa-N SihL y fLSSh'
a MOTHER glance from the win
~ dow showed Frances that the
car had come to stop near
new bridge over branch of
the Irish. Involuntarily she sighed
for the man who had built that bridge
Denton, whose eye was keen and
steady, whose muscles were Of iron.
But Denton was miles farther on,
ut the Obi.
"Now," said Neslerov, as the girl
sank back in her seat, "let US face this
situation, my dear. Let us realize the
true significance. We are practically
alone, you and l. Save for the poor
wretches in that village yonder, we
are the only people on this earth just
now. Can you realize the fullness of
that statement? You are mine-abso-
lutely and wholly mine"
"Oh. you cur! You coward" ex-
claimed Frances. Her hand went as II
by instinct toward that pocket from
which she had drawn her revolver on
a previous occasion. Neslerov saw her
face turn whittier still, and he laughed
pleasantly.
"Of course l guarded against that"
he said. 81 knew you would, with
your American impulsiveness. try to
shoot me again. So, while you slept, |
quietly took your little toy pistol from
your pocket. l have 1t here. This, |
believe, deprives you Of the power to
do any more mischief"
ooh, you miserable coward! You
thiefw said Frances in a tense voice.
81 wish there was a good American
fist here to strike that grinning face
of yours~
Undoubtedly" said Neslerov. with
an exasperating GOODNESS, that would
be pleasant for you, but it would be
unfortunate for the American who
owned the fist. One blow-peste! He
would be torn apart by my agreeable
savages yonder."
She could not resist the temptation
to follow his finger as It pointed
through the window on his side Of the
car. A short distance, on the banks Of
the stream, she saw wretched, miser-
able village of rude huts. Men and wo-
men, dressed in leather, undressed
skins, heavy cloths from Moscow mer'
chants, stood In groups, all with their
faces toward the car.
"Were I to say the word," said Nesle-
rov, "these people would tear you limb
from limb and would perform the same
agreeable service for any fool who at
tempted to interfere between u.s."
"MonsterW she gasped.
"Of course I am q monster to you"
he said. Gall Russians are monsters
to those who do not like us. We may
have our little peculiarities. One of
them Is that what we cannot get by
fair means we get some other way. l
spoke to your father, and spoke to
you. l offered the honest love Of a

Granting that the bulk OF the apple
crop will be liberal in the aggregate,
only here and there does the quality
compare favorably with the bumper
crop of 1896. says Orange Judd Farmer.

Day after day Frances leaned her
head against the glass window and
watched the iitting scenes AT last
they reached the Irish and crossed the
border into that province. which was al
most as much Neslerov's own as though
he were king.
There were but few passengers by

Frances leaned back weakly and
stared.

she looked out at the savage faces that
passed and looked at the car in wonder
she shuddered.

Cover For Strawberries.

II always use cornstalks as winter
covering for Strawberries. but in con-
nection with leaves. My Strawberries
are on stiff land that heaves very bad
ly in winter, so plants have TO be well
covered. l lind the stalks keep the
leaves in rows from blowing away bet
ter than such brush as | can get. The
stalks are put lengthwise of the rows"
says g writer ia Rural New Yorker.
And another correspondents opinion
Is:
II consider evergreen boughs the
ideal strawberry covering, but quite an
expense TO cover several acres and
clear away the same. My second
choice is cornstalks. If the stalks are
very long. should put lengthwise TO
save material. If light, fine stalks,
should spread with fork. think
light covering of corn fodder alone is
quite sufficient, as all that is required
Is to shade the ground and have some
thing to hold the snow from blowing
off"
