consamptlve Refused Passage.

CONSUMPTION is considered con-
tagious disease by surgeons of the ma
jority of the big steamship lines of the
East, and passengers afflicted with
tuberculosis and who are anxious to
cross the water should be certain of
passage on the line over which they
buy their ticket before leaving home.
A few weeks ago Christian and Axel
Heiden purchased tickets at the Bur-
lington office for Norway. When they
reached New York and presented them
selves for examination before the
ships surgeon, they We're refused pass
age because Christian Heiden was n
sufferer from consumption. The sur
geon told them that it was conta-
gious disease, and that he could not
admit them to the vessel Several 9TH
er lines We're tried, but with the same
result. Finally the men secured pass
age on the Lake Superior. one of the
boats of the Beaver line. The surgeon
of this line stated that the case of
Heiden did not come under the health
regulation.

Word Ham" Appropriate.

A party of prominent New Jersey
men were sitting upon the porch of the
Stockton house, Cape May, one sum-
mer afternoon, listening to an old sea
captain relate story about ship
wreck in the South Pacific. He stated
that after being cast upon an island
starvation was imminent, and it was
resolved to cast lots to decide who
should be killed and eaten. The vic
tim was the colored cook. One of the
listeners asked the sailor how the col
ored mans flesh tasted and the captain
replied:
I'VE boiled piece of the darkey
aid when it was cooked the flesh tast-
ed like new ham,"
His questioner remarked. in an In
credulous manner:
That's singular, captain. Are you
sure the taste was like ham,"
The late Gen. William j. Seweli,
United States Senator, who was one
of the group, said in his dry manner:
There isn't anything singular about
II at all. If you remember, one OF
Noah's sons was Ham, who was a
black man. The ships colored cook
was descendant of Noahs son Ham.
and the captain and his shipwrecked
crew simply ate good boiled Ham!"

Flight of the Birds.

1t is difficult to account for the
enormous velocity of some birds fight
when migrating. The northern blue
throat goes at the rate of $40 miles an
hour, flying 4,S00 miles from Egypt to
Heligoland in spring night of barely
nine hours. Virginian plover fly from
Labrador to North Brazil, 5000 miles,
without stopping, going at the rate OF
636 miles an hour, and probably more.
How can this speed be attained? The
birds resort to great heights, where the
resistance of the air is slight.

From one of the most luxuriously
furnished homes in New York city to n
barely furnished East Side settlement
is change that few fashionable wo-
men, however charitably inclined,
would care to make.
But such change is contemplated
by Miss Helen Gould, who is consider
ing the question of leaving her Fifth
avenue residence, magnificently fur
nished by her father. the late jan
Gould, to reside for some time in the
| the Ghetto" at No. 211 Clinton street.
Miss Gould has signified her desire
to study life among the poor by actual
contact. in n letter to Mrs. Sarah ].
Bird. founder of the settlement, but
she has not yet fixed date for the pro-
posed change.
Mrs. Bird said to-day she did not
know at what time Miss Gould would
take up her temporary abode at the
settlement house. but thought that 1t
would probably be when the weather
became warmer. Then Miss Gould
would have n better advantage to see
the true conditions and life as it is in
that part of the city. when the push
cart wagons line up along the side
walks, crowds of humanity throng the
thoroughfares and the stoops of the
tenements and houses are alive with
people.
In speaking of the work Mrs Sarah

Miss Gould has given bountifully to

her from individual sources. as well as

The requests by mail for assistance
in one week. since January list,
amounted to several million dollars.
