One Occasion on Which the Wit ot
 Rufus Choate Was Rolled.
 AS one of the very few. occasions when the wit of Rufus Choate was foled, an incident is recalled when that brilliant lawyer was examining one Dick Barton, chief mate of the ship Challenge. Choate had cross-examfned him for over an hour hurling questions with the speed of a rapid-fire gun.
 "Was there a moon that nght?"
 "Yes, str."
 "Did you see it?"
 "No, sir."
 "Ihen how did you know there was moonT
 "The Nautical Almanac said so, and I'll believe that sooner than any lawyer in the world"
 "Be civil, sir. And now tell me In what latitude and longitude you crossed the equator"

 That's more than I can give"

FEAR TO EAT SHELLFISH.
Story That They Arc scavengers of
 the Sea scares Britons.

Fishmongers assert that the evil rep utation lately acquired by oysters as propagators of typhoid has extended, more or less, to all sorts of shellfish, from the lordly lobster to the humble whelk. The whole are supposed to earn their living as scavengers of the sea, says the London Globe, and with equal readiness it is assumed that they prefer to reside amid noXious abomina- tions, for the convenience of re-supply. ing their larders Even the immobile limpet and mussel are credited with faculty of detaching themselves from rocks to go Ill eager pursuit of bacili, While it is roundly denied that salt water produces any disinfecting eff. feet on disease germs, no matter how great its depth or purity.
 Aud so the lover of shellfish sternly refuses to gratlfy his palate, while their vendors sadly anticipate early bankruptcy should the scare last much longer. It would be very good thing, therefore, for the trade to have all doubts set at rest, one way or another, as to the alleged instrumentality of shellfish in destroying human life. Some of them. 1t is true. diet them- selves largely on impure food when ever 1t falls in their way. But 1t re- mains to be proved that by the time 1t reaches them it has not been freed from all living organisms by its long immersion in salt water. It may be, too. that the digestive apparatus of Holsters, crabs, clans and their con- geners kills disease germs. Moreover, 1t Is by no means certain that all crus- taceans deserve the imputation of be- ing foul feeders; some are said to be quite immaculate in the matter of high Nving.

breath of the ice-king" this mise the disgusting symptoms return. throat can be kept clear of mucous and splitting. Catarrh is a nuisance and source of annoyance, not only to the one who has it, but everybody else. The thick. yellow discharge from the head produces a feeling of personal deflement, and the odor of the breath is almost intolerab,e.
 The catarrhal poison brings on stomach troubles and affects the Kid neys and Bladder. It attacks the soft bones and tissues of the head and throat, causing total or partial deafness, the loss of smell, and giv- ing to the voice rasping. nasal twang. No part of the body is secure from its ravages. Catarrh makes you sick all over, for it is a dis ease of the blood. and circulates all through the system, and for this reason, sprays, washes, inhalers, powders and salves have proven failures.
 The way to cure Catarrh thor oughly and permanently is to cleanse the blood of the unhealthy secretions that keep the membranes of the body inhamed, and nothing does this so surely and promptly as s. s. s.

WELSH RAREBlT" DEAD.
Jimmy Michael, Once Champion Bi.
cycle Rider, Passes Away on
Shipboard.

New York, Nov. 26. - Jimmy
Michael, the professional bicycle rider,
and three years ago champion middle
distance rider. is dead aboard the
French liner La Savoie, due at her
pier in the North river Friday night.
The news of Michael's death was re-
ceived by P. T. Powers, the six-day
bicycle race promoter, by wireless tele-
graph during the day. At the Office of
Mr.. Powers it was said that Michael
left the other side in good health, as
far as is known.
Michael was matched to race Bobby
Walthour for the worlds middle-dis-
lance paced championship in a 15-mlle
bicycle race at Madison Square garden,
on December 3. No particulars were
given in the dispatch sent from the
steamer.
Friends here believed Michael's death
probably was due to hemorrhages, the
result of recent operation which was
performed in Paris to remove a clot of
blood from his brain. Michael was
born in Aberaman, Wales, q years ago,
and was known as the welsh Rarebit.' -
In bicycle contests in this country and
abroad he competed with the best riders
in the world.
