'athc nature OF the disease was not known
certainly until Saturday when he was
examined by DR.. J. \. Neff, a member
of the Board of Health, and a physician
who has seen service in a. smallpox
hospital The Board of Supervisors au-
thorized its members from that district
to have all needful quarantine measures
taken.
It is possible that some of the persons
who visited the house before the nature
of the disease became known, may be in
fected, but otherwise there is no fear of
its spreading. The case is a. very mild

The scaling OF the wall by two men In

officials that the yard is not safe enough
to allow the prisoners much freedom.

odd cure for Deafness.

One OF the most singular cures for
DEAFNESS ever recorded is quoted by
the Independence Beige from the
Dutch papers. An old man Of seventy.

deaf for twenty years, got involved in
dispute with some neighbors, and be-
came literally transported with rage.
In this semi-dene1ted state he sud-
denly recovered his hearing, which
he has retained ever since.

Wool lace is still retained. and
there is no abatement of the vogue Of
Irish crochet and flct lace; new de-
signs are constantly blOssoming out.
For gowns of summer silk, yelling
or crepe, the trimming most favored
is a combination of heavy blind-em-
brOidery on cream or ecru batiste,
with fine French guipure. Renais-
sance lace motifs in which the needle-
work is done with silk the color OF
the gown, while the ribbon or braid,

make a most effective decoration

Nature provides the wasp in most

as the drunkard is driven to the "ac-
cursed drink" The wasp is "a ravag-

for incurables, must be summarily
