NEWPORT HAS MALARIA
Caused by the UnSanitary Condition Of
Marshes in the Towns Vicinity
SpecIal to the EYaninp Iollrnal

Newport, July 29.-Quite number
OF Newport people are suffering with
malaria fever and chills to a greater
extent than ever known in this yicin-
ity. The state Of affairs is caused by
tho filthy condition of the marshes and
many vacant lots in and near about the
town. This matter has been reported
to the Town Commissioners, and they
have called on the property owners to
clean UP their vacant lots, but as yet
a number of them stand untouched.
The doctors say that as long as the
town is in the present condition, the
people will be i'll. The heavy rains
and floods in the winter caused the
banks of the creek to break and flooded
the land nearby with rubbish and
black mud. The hot, sulhy weather
has produced very unpleasant odor.
The Board of Health has been notified
but no action has been taken in the
towns behalf.

tho washouts and holes which were
Icut in the streets during the winter.

board to compel all property owners OF
vacant lots to cut the weeds and clean
up all filth and dirt that had collected
thereon within ten days or the body

Nurses Experience.

Medical men say that good nurse
in difficult case is better than med
icine, but when we can get good
nurse and good medicine, the patient
stands much better chance of re-
covery. The few words of advice
given below by nurse Eliza King, are
we'll worthy the attention of all
readers:
al have constantly used ST. Jacobs Oil in
the various situations have occupied as
nurse, and have invariably found it excellent
In all cases requiring outward application,
such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections,
neuralgia, etc. In cases of pleurisy it is an
excellent remedy-well rubbed in. l can
strongly recommend it after several years
use and experience 1t should be in every
household"
Sister CAROLINA, St. Andrews Hospital,
writes: AZ have found St. Jacobs Oil most
eficacious remedy in gout; also in sprains and
bruises. Indeed, we cannot say 100 much
in its praise, and our doctor is ordering it
constantly"

Ireland Losing Her People.

According to the figures of the reg
lister general, Ireland is still losing
in population, the decline for the last
year being figured at 32,435. This is
entirely accounted for by immigra-
ton, for there was an excess Of births
over deaths amounting to 1883, max
ing the loss by emigration for the year
45,28S. The registrars figures show
that last year there were 21,300 mar
riages, 101,459 births and S7,606
deaths. There has been, in compari-
son with previous years, slight de-
cline in both the birth and marriage
rates, while the death rate shows an
increase, which is, doubtless, partial
ly accounted for by the fact that the
reductions of the population by i'm
migration are almost entirely drawn
from the ages in which the death
rate would be smallest.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1902-05-07

she was so vexed and disappointed,
but her mother comforted her with
promises of another bulb, and another
lily to bloom later, and that afternoon
they went down town together, Alice

the dear teacher, learning by and by
what had happened to the bulb she

on replacing it with another, so Alice
is now waiting and watching for two
beautiful lily flowers to appear.
But Alice's papa, when Alice told

A Queer Bird.

There is a bird which seems to be
destitute Of all natural feeling; bird
without any home instinct or affection
for its offspring; a bird, in short,
which is an anomaly among birds, and
a curious study for the naturalist.
This is the COW blackbird of Amer
lea. The cockoo of Europe is a bird
that nearly approaches the cow black
bird in its habits and cvurious in
stincts. Both of these birds furnish
remarkable exceptions to the rI.les
governing the majority of their kind.
The COW blackbird makes its first
appearance in western New York
early in April. These birds are about
seven to seven and a half inches long
and of greenish black or brown
color, usually having brown head.
The cowbiri makes his chief food Of
the insects infesting cattle, so these
birds are always found in the vicinity
of cattle. When in quest of dinner
they alight with boldness upon the
backs Of these quadrupeds. 1t is from
this curious habit the bird gets it's
name of COW blackbird.
An observer of their habits says
"These birds are particularly abund-
ant in the west, or they may appear
SO, for the numbers that in the east
would be spread over a large area,
here gather in great locks, wherever
large numbers of cattle are congregat-
ed. Every wagon train passing over
the prairies in summer is attended by
numbers of these birds, and every
camp and stock corral, permanent or
temporary, is besieged by busy birds,
eager to CLEAN their dinner from the
wasted forage. They become go bold
that they flutter without fear near
men, and sit in rows upon the back
bones of the animals, who seem to
rather like their attendance"
The mother" COW blackbird is
very unnatural and heartless creature.
Doing without q nest of her own, she
steals away and stealthily seeks the
nest of some other bird in order to de-
posit her eggs. She searches some
times long distance before finding
nest suited to her purpose, or one
from which the owner is absent. In
this strange nest the blackbird egg is
laid, only one at time, and then the
mother, flying away, displays no fur
there concern about her offspring,
which is left entirely to the care of
it's foster parents.
The blackbird shows much cunning
in her choice of nest, usually select
ing that of a bird much smaller than
herself. Then the foundling. coming
from the larger egg, being Matched out
first, often gets more attention from
the foster mother than her own right
full children. 1t is bigger and bolder.
1t grows more rapidly, and soon more
than fills the nest, and takes away
the attention which should be be-
slowed upon the little sparrow or
warbler, whose parents it has de-
ceivei.-Brooklyn Eagle.
