Kissed The Boat

Saturdays Baltimore Herald
gives the following account of the
experience of party of excursion
lists from Havre de Grace:
A party of excursionists who
went to Colchester Friday, July 4,
from Havre de Grace on the steam
er Susquehanna missed the boat
which left tie resort at-6 o'clock,
getting to the wharf a few moments
after the steamer pulled out. The
patty consisted of Misses May,
Estella and Fanny Mahan, Mollle
Walker and Mary Thomas and
Samuel McNeilly.
Realizing that it would be i'm
possible to reach their homes that
night, they hunted up Captain
Eliason, who was on the grounds,
and told their troubles to him.
The captain furnished them all
transportation to Baltimore, and
when they arrived there assigned
them berths on the Louise for the
night. Saturday morning they
were put aboard the boat which left
for Havre de Grace and returned to
their parents.

A company of the Marching
Seventh Pennsylvania Regiment,
United Boys Brigade of America,
took the boat at Port Deposit this
week for Baltimore.
The boys marched from Lancas-
ter, Pa, to Port Deposit, going by
boat from that place to Baltimore,
whence they will march to Wash
ington, to Gettysburg, then back
to Lancaster. They carry every
thing necessary for the march with
them. Tents are carried on their
backs, as in the regular army, anG
camp is pitched wherever night
overtakes them. They wear a
khaki uniform, campaign hats and
leggings.
The Brigade is a religious organ
ization with military feature, its
headquarters being in England.
The motto is can army for the
upbuilding of Christ's kingdom
among the boys.'' Two years
ago the Maryland division held
the distinction of being the largest
and best in the country, but its
membership in the State has since
dwindled. In Baltimore at present
there are four infantry companies
and one artillary battery. The
latter is composed of the older boys
of the organization and owns two
field pieces. The battery and Com
pany A drill with regulation steel
rifles, while the other companies,
being composed of small boys, use
a Springfield rifle, with part of the
barrel replaced with wood.

other on Saturday at Baldwin's

errors gave the Mohicans seven
runs and the game. About twenty

Bees and rheumatism.

Our contemporaries seem to be
e1ated over the bee cure for rheuma-
tism and devote considerable space to
this stringent remedy For ourselves,
We can see no reason for rejoicing.
We have been set upon by a hive full
of bees and we have been rendered
helpless by rheumatic onslaught OF
the two evils it's toss of the penny
which is the twuSser-" The bees
make up for the short duration of
their inf1iction by the pungency of the
pain; rheumatism isn't quite so Sc
we're as numerous bee stings, but it
detains one from business more than
day and makes one feel like a walk
ing barometer, twenty years older in
damp weather. One thing is certain,
however, an aggressive, able-bodied
active bee can make itself bust
ness-like that the rheumatic not only
forgets his rheumatism, but every
other i'll that flesh is heir to.-Centre

EATING TIME ON CAT FARM.
Dietary Table of an Up-to-Date Feline
BOARDING House.

The care of cats of absent mis-
tresses and of those which are raised
for sale has become a matter com
manding great attention, and in its
up-to-date features is sufficiently
amusing The dietary timetable and
daily routine on one of these modern
cat farms is described follows:
At $50 the cats have saucerfuls of
food, prepared as for baby, and
gwen while warm at the consistency
of cream At 1890 they dine either
on a wel1-bOiled sleeps head, cut up
very fine, by way of change they
have a fish dinner. AT o'clock a
drink of warm milk is provided. At
p. m. they have fish and rice, or
biscuits soaked in milk Clean boiled
they are emphatic about the boil
ing-water is always kept on hand,
as cats suffer from thirst more than
is generally realized
A wt:se cat should BE cleaned eX-
act1y you would clean the fashion
able white neck fur. The hand of the
cleaner should be dampened, not wet,
in some water in which few drops
of ammonia have been poured. The
cat should then be stroked. 1t should
then be sprinkled generously with
flour, which must be rubbed well into
the fur This must then be thorough
1y brushed out, and the coat polish ed
with a silk handkerchief. This -cere-
mony should be rarely INDUCED in.
healthy cat will keep itself clean
in clean surroundings The cats at
the farm in question realize prices
which frequently run into three fig
ures, so the care bestowed on them
is not altogether unreasonable.

Stories of Snake Bites.

An English traveller just returned
from India says that the stories about
the great number of deaths from
snake bites in India are to a great
extent unreliable statistics when
carefully ana1yzed. He accounts,
moreover, for these extreme exaggera-
tions in figures very plausible
grounds. In India, he says, the law
requires that when there is a sudden
death a detailed report of it must be
made to the civil surgeons, and as
there are many such deaths, far from
the civic Offices where the report
should be made, the under officers per-
form their duty with the least possible
trouble. To save the annoyance of
transporting dead bodies, or vital Or
gans, and the loss of time in getting
evidence on the facts of the cases
which may be plain murders, by poi
son or otherwise report of death
by <tsnake bite is made. This sort
of report is very convenient and
makes interesting statistics
