Dead sparrows Caused Typhoid.

The cause Of an epidemic Of typhoid fever
among the 1000 Inhabitants Of Three Oaks,
Mich, was discovered yesterday, when a
member of the board of health climbed
to the top Of the water works standpipe
and found the dead bodies Of several thou
sand young sparrows in various stages of
decomposition covering the surface Of the
water Immediately the mayor gave in
structions to empty the standpipe and scrub
and paint it. Hundreds of sparrows' nests
have been built on ledge that runs around
birds are supposed to have fallen into the
uncovered standpipe while trying to fly.
The cover made for the standpipe when it
was constructed was never put on. There
are now twenty-one cases Of typhoid fever
in the town.

HURRYING HOME TO CUBA.
Hundreds of Residents of Island
Eager to Get Back.


BY the hundreds of Cubans who are rush.
ing to New York from Saratoga and noun
tain resorts on the way back to their ma
| tive country the present situation in the
little republic Is viewed with profound
alarm. While expressing publicly the belief
that the insurrection will be short-lIved
and that quick punishment will be admin
istered to the leaders of the rebellion, they
admit, when speaking privately, that the
outbreak Is far more serious than appears
on the surface, and that it has the SYM
pathy and cooperation not alone of the
low classes, but Of many persons prominent
in business and public life.
Gov SObaradO of the Province of Pnar
del Rio received a message yesterday at an
Adirondack resort, where he has been stay
ing for a month. which caused him to pack
up Immediately and start for Cuba With
him were several other prominent Cubans.
To many of the Cubans in New York the
news that rebellion had been started was
expected, but not quite so soon. The move
ment had its beginning, they asserted the
day after the last election which seated
President Palma, and since that time prep
arations have been quietly going on.
In the estimation of some of the big
planters who passed through the city, the
outbreak came sooner than was intended
even by the organizers of the movement
and from that fact they make the predic-
ton that, while the government will have
much trouble in suppressing the disorder
It will do so with less effort than would
have been required had the instruction
been put off.
Commenting on the cable dispatches that
the rebellion is participated in by the negro
inhabitants, Cubans who were interviewed
asserted that, while many Of these people
are in the movement. they are encouraged
by men who have long been prominently
connected with the government and who
have means at their disposal for carrying
ION the rebellion. They have felt resentful
toward President Palma because. as they
assert he used unfair means in the last
election and did not provide government
berths for some Of the men who worked
hardest for him.
Americans Of adventurous spirit have al
ready offered their services through local
officials to the Cuban government. All such
offers, while cordially received, have been
declined.
Hundreds more persons than can be &C.
commodated have sought passage on the
Ward Line steamship. which sails Satur-
day for Havana.

yesterday left scores behind who were
anxious to sail They left later by rail for

FOR CHAPPED HANDS.
Wear Gloves as Much as Possible and
Do Not Wash the Hands More
Than Is Necessary.

Just as there is constitutional ten
dency of certain skins to become
roughened and excoriated by the slim
ulating effect of cold winds, so is there
a constitutional tendency for the
hands to chap at some seasons of the
year under the influence of cold water
or an irritating cleansing medium.
Soaps containing an excess of alkali.
and water containing even small guam
titles of soda, are particular offenders
in this direction.
AS is we'll known, washerwomen
whose hands are constantly immersed
in strong solutions of soda are par
ticularly liable not only to chapped
hands, but actually to eczema OF the
skin. and bakers who are in the habit
of kneading dough which also often
contains a fair proportion OF carbon
ate of soda, very frequently suffer IN
the same way.
The best recipe therefore that can
give you to avoid chapping OF the
hands is to avoid using indifferently
prepared soaps and as far as possible
to dispense with manual aDlutlons 10

GETTING CREW FOR WHALER
Times Without Number to Get

In Harper's Magazine Clifford w.
Ashley, the artist who recently made
a trip in an old-fashioned whaler for
the magazine, tells entertainingly of
the difficulties of finally getting the
crew together and aboard ship.
Sunday morning, long before the
church bells rung," says Mr.. Ashley,
I'VE We're gathered in the darkened
front of the store had stopped at
the postoffice for my mail, and as l
stepped out again into the bright sun
shine of that August morning, a cou-
pie of sailors numbered hastily by and
lodged around the corner. AS they
were vanishing, one of the owners
appeared in the street, gazing up and
down in a mystified manner, vainly
seeking a glimpse of the runaways.
When he saw me he hailed cheerfully.
From the alley whence he had
emerged, a series of derisive boots fol-
lowed him, then wagonload of sea-
men appeared, being trundled off to
the river Swaying and pitching as
the cart jolted over the cobbles, they
boisterously spoke each passerby,
making the street hideous with their
wells. Before / entered the store
saw them, one by one, dropping off
over the tail-board, utterly oblivious
to the protests of the unfortunate dry
goods clerk who was held responsible
for their delivery.
"The front shop was crowded and
noisy, but the real hubbub was in a
small back room Here the sailors,
bowling and pounding were locked up
when caught. and held till the return
of the wagon to take them off TO the
river Word was received that the
mate refused to go on board till he
had partaken of his Sunday dinner.
On various pretexts others sought to
get off for a while longer-one had
forgotten to bid his mother goodbye;
another had left home withpt an
overcoat The clerks rushed frantical-
" about. Each man had to be round
ND up-not once, but half a dozen
times"
