GATHERING MOSS IN ACADIA.
Forest in Proximity to Navigable
Water Chosen.

FrOm the flgrlm.
In selecting the place Of operation a for
est is always chosen in proximity to navi-
gable water. When the laborers arrive the
first thing considered is the construction
of living quarters. but the problem Is not
a hard one, as the light material necessary
Is already at hand. Stakes six or seven
feet high and three or four apart are
driven into the ground and the sides are
waited with palmetto boughs. The roof
Is matched with the same material. and the
whole furnishes storm-proof residence
that is comparatively comfortable. These,
sometimes to the number Of forty or more
are built close together, for the moss gath
erers from certain community always
work together. The household affairs ar
ranged in camp. the women sally forth
armed with long forks. Everywhere the
moss trails in immense festoons from the
branches OF the trees. and by twisting the
fork in one Of these many pounds may be
brought down at one time with but slight
exertion At the conclusion Of the days
picking the moss is packed in bags and
carried to the margin Of the water, where
1t Is buried SO that 1t will remain Inundated.
In week or ten days the soft gray coat
Ing that covers the threads rots away The
moss Is then taken up and washed, dried
and packed once more in bags. when it is
ready for market. All this work Is done
sionally a negro woman Is hired to do the
labor Of burying. washing and drying Buy
ers from New Orleans ride through the for
ests during the season. AS soon as a cargo
Is purchased light sailing vessels come
along. gather 1t up and take 1t to a port"
where 1t Is transferred to larger boats and
shipped to New Orleans.

Fighting a New Disease.
From the Worcester Spy.

From the Worcester Spy.
At q time when new remedies for dis
eases that have long baffied medical skill
are being announced another malady
known as the sleeping sickness comes
into prominence. Its home Is Africa. and
1t first attracted the attention Of civilized
people few years ago. when 1t made its
appearance In Uganda and British East
Africa. The ravages Of the disease be-
came SO marked that the British govern
ment sent out a special commissi to
study 1t. The person attacked at Il be-
comes listless and later passes into COM
atose condition that Is followed by dc ath
The course Of the sleeping sickness runs
from a month to six months, and so far
as known Is fatal The number killed In
the area under inspection 10 estimated al
between 10000 and $1,000. and the disease
still prevails. Considerable districts have
been nearly depopulated. 1t Is said. While
no remedy has been found. the commiss.on
considers that the germ causing the dis
ease has been discovered and that some
way may be devised for preventing the dis
ease from spreading further.

HAZARDS TO HEALTH.
Undue Exposure to Winter Weather

Undue Exposure to Winter Weather
Dangerous to Life.
From the New York Herald.
The majority of persons In the temperate
zone delight in winter because Of It's sports
and amusements. 1t brings with 1t, how
ever. grave hazards to health and a train
Of discomforts. some petty and others sert-
Gus, but none Of which is generally recog-
nized as affecting the health: yet their al
deviation and cure are often difficult.
1t would raise the average OF health sig
nifcantly II the vast Importance of precau-
tionary measures could be impressed upon
the public and attention drawn to the fact
that these so-called petty discomforrs are a
menace to health.
There is a misunderstanding as to tho
benefits which cold weather oonfers. II in
autumn and spring persons took the same
amount of exercise and breathed as deeply
as cold compels them to In order to MAIN
tain the normal heat OF the body. they
would find these seasons congenial to
health. Most persons know that freezing
Is as inimical to life as burning. but they
seem to think that any degree OF cold short
OF freezing Is beneficial, and one hears per-
nicious talk about its stimulating effect.
pernicious because 1t induces many persons
to do foolhardy things.
Cold is beneficial only when. through the
AOE OAySSH W IoS0 INTERNAL IlreS,
the lungs are stimulated to their full duty.
The circulation of the blood should be cor
respendingly accelerated, and 1t is as long
as the body is kept warm. But the moment
the hands, feet. nose or ears become sting
ingly cold harm is done, and II, through in
sufficient clothing, this chill involves the
limbs and extends to the shoulders or other
parts Of the body the danger is proportion
ately increased and may be the incipient
cause Of pneumonia. fevers or other disease.
A chill disturbs the capillary circulation,
and in women this is so sensitive that its
slightest disturbance may cause cutaneous
disorders. Frequently the seeds of a win
ter's discomfort are sown during the first
frosty evenings of autumn. Many take
keen delight in the sharp Jingle OF the air,
but the benefit of its stimulating ozone is
lost unless the body be protected from chill.
Often the hands or feet become stingingly
cold, and within twentyfour hours a burn
Ing irritation is felt in some part OF the
limbs. Because the hands are more COM
monty exposed than the feet the irritation
Is usually felt first in the upper arms. ex-
tending to the wrists or involving the thighs
and ankles In exact measure to the ex-
pOSure.
