INCIDENT OF A SEA FIGHT.
Captain of Chinese Warship Drowned
by His Dog, q Ferocious
Brute.

This strange incident of a great
naval battle is told by Commander
McGifin of one of the Chinese war
ships in the battle of the Yalu, between
the Chinese and japanese fleets in 1894,
says the Chicago Daily News. "Aboutthls
time the Chin Yuen boldly, If some
what foolhardily, bore down on the
Japanese s%quadron's line. Just what
happened no one seems to know, but
apparently she was struck below the
water line by a heavy shell-either a
ten-inch or a 13-inch. Be that as it
may, she took a heavy list. and thus
fatally injured, her commander, Tang
Sht Chen, a host courageous, albeit a
most obstinate officer, resolved at least
to avenge himself and charged one Of
the largest of the enemy's ships, in
tending to ram.
"A hurricane of projectiles from both
heavy and machine guns swept down
upon his ship. The list became more
pronounced, and just before getting
home to his intended victim his ship
rolled over and then plunged, bows
first, into the depths. She righted her
self as she sunk, her screws whirling
in the air, and carrying down all hands,
including her chief engineer, Mr.. Pur-
Wis, shut up in the engine room. Seven
OF her crew chung to one of the circu-
lar life buoys kept on the bridge and
were drifted by the tide toward the
coast, where they were rescued by a
junk.
Stories told by these men vary 50
much as to be unreliable, but all agree
on one incident: Capt. Tang had a
large dog of most vicious temper, I'M
ruly at times even with his master.
After the ship sunk, Capt. Tang, who
could not swim, managed to get an oar
or some small piece of wood. This
would have been enough to support
him had o his dog swum to him,
an climbing on him, forced him to re-
Lease his grasp. Thus he miserably
drowned and the brute shared his
fate-perhaps the only case on record

win any battle for England, and could
only sink trading vessels. The walls
of the rock are perforated from top

guns to squirt smoke and shells, but
if the enemy should stay away from

he never intends to spend until he gets

it wears out n pocket after another,

Gibraltar, in Spain and England
My Dear Foster Uncle: 1t seem good
to get somewhere that you a hear
the English language spoken by the
Irish, and the English soldiers are
nearly all Irish. When you think OF
the way the British government treats
the Irish, and then you look IN while
an orderly sergeant calls the roll of a
company, and find that nine out Of ten
answer to Irish names, and only one
out of ten has the cockney accent, you
feel that the Irish ought to rule Eng
land, and an O'Rourke or an O'Shan-
messy should take the place of King
Edward. 1t makes a boy who was
brought up in an Irish ward in Amer
lea feel like he was at home to mix
with British soldiers who come from
the old sod.
Dad says that there is never All
army anywhere in the world, except
the armies of Russia and Japan, that
the bravest men are not answering to
Irish names, and always on the ad-
vance in a fight, or in the real when
there Is a retreat. Dad says that
in our W army, and when the north and
south were fighting, the Irish boys
were the fellows who saved the day.
They wanted to fight nights and Sun
days, and never struck for an eight
hour day, or union wages. When the
fighting was over, and soldiers were

make the discouraged fellows laugh in
spite of themselves, and when another
fight was on, you had to tie the wound
ed Irish soldiers to their cots in the
hospital, or put them in Jail, to keep
them from forgetting their wounds
and going to the front for one more
fight. Dad says if there was an Irish
nation, with an army and navy, the
whole world would have to combine to
whip them, and yet the nation that
has the control of the Irish people

inaion OF contagious diseases is the fear and ignorance Of a very
considerable portion OF our population. In certain sections of almost
every state there is a large and constantly growing foreign element
which encrtains a primitive fear Of modern scientific methods together
with a profound ignorance of sanitary laws, The prcjudccs and un-
warrantabc fears of these people must be dbpened, and they must be
brought to see the light, not only for their own health and safety but
for that Of the communities around them.
The safety OF any community in which contagious disease exists lies
in the complete isolation and proper care Of the patient. Until recent
years d]ph1hcria was one OF the most dreaded diseases. But recent
scientific discoveries have eliminated its tcrrors.
Typhoid fever is a prcvcntabic disease. The most effective time to
attack it and prevent ia spread is when the germs Of the disease are
be Killed by dsinfccants. This can be quickly and certainly accom-
phsdcd by observing strict sanitary rules, thus preventing the cxcrc-
tons with their live and poisonous germs from mngltng with the wa
tiers that are used for drinking purposes. Typhoid is spread through
water, milk and other fluids, and through foods that have been brought
into contact with the germs on the hands Of those handling patients
In country districts where ccsspoos are used the germs from the ex-|
crcions find their way through porous strata of the soil to wells and
streams Of running water, and by that agency cases are often developed
nySciousy at points distant from the original source of infection.
There is one phase Of this subject of health and sanitation which |
might term a financial viewpoint, which has received scant attention in
the past, but which figures to immense proportions were all the sta
tishcs available upon the subject, 1t is the loss from reduced pro-
ductton Of our industries through prcycntablc diseases among the in
dustrll classes. The we'll DAYS added to the lives of the working
people will ten times over pay the cost OF running a well equipped state
health department, to say nothing Of the saving to its citizens III the
direct cost OF caring for the sick, separate and apart from the invaluable
boon and happiness OF good health. The success of our industries Oh
all kinds and the yigor and efficiency Of our armies and navcs must de-
pend upon the health Of our people.
