one to two gallons, each bag depend
ing from line whose position diff

sea and direction of the wind. Run

the oil bags from either bow. Cross

A BABOON HUNT.
Horribly suggestive of Slaughter Of
Human Bein1s.

Horribly susgestive of Slaughter Of
Human Beings.
A traveller writing from South Africa
describes q baboon hunt as follows:
Every slowly we spread out roInd
about the bare of the kopje and began
a crawling ascent through the thick
scrub. Kaf1rs and farmers together.
we formed something Of loose circle
around the kopje. Daylight found US
drawing near the higher spurs Of the
kopje and the Kaft1rs were busy beat
ing.
Then the sport began, and pretty un-
canny it was. A good many baboons
broke through our circle, for we only
mustered seven guns, but AZ We neared
the top of the kopje could tell By
the noises all about me that some exc
cution was being done. Ny nrst kill
gave me q most uncomfortable thrill
It was horribly like picking OF man.
The baboons were great big. human
looking brutes, quite capable Of pick
ing up a lamb in their hands and run
ming OF with 1t. As fact, they gen
orally content themselves with ripping
the beast open to get at the curtiled
milk within. But their cries were the
most horribly human thing about them
and the gestures Of their waving arms.
When we all met Z careful count was
made. Thirty baboons had been
bagged. Seven had fallen to my gun." :"

FIsxseed an Excellent Remedy For
Colds and Other Ills.

Flaxseed has great medicinal quall-
ties, as it possesses that which makes
it soothing as well as healing. Two
tablespoonfuls of tlaXseed stepped IN
pint of water, with the juice OF one
lemon, taken hot, in doses of a cup
full just before retiring. will soon
break up the severest cold. The
ground tlaxseed made into a poultlce
will in most cases soothe intlamma-
ton and heal the affected parts. Re-
cent use has proved that tlaxseed ls
an excellent remedy for constipa-
ton. Two tablespoonfuls soaked IN
warm water taken before retiring
and again on rising in the morning
will gently cause Il natural move
ment of the bowels. When constl-
patton is not chronic it will hardly
be necessary to repeat the dose IN
the morning, and in many cases the
dose may gradually be reduced in
quantity at night.

SWELL DRESSERS.

A government rescript has been
issued permitting those teachers in
the grammar schools of Mecklen-
burg-Schwerin who rank as pro-
fessors to wear on state occasions a
brilliant uniform. This consists Of

lar and cuffs, embroidered with
gold. The trousers are white, with
a broad gold stripe down the sides.
On his head the Mecklenburg
schoolmaster will wear a cooked
hat, with the cockade in the colors
of the grand duchy, from which a
gold tassel will depend. Finally, as
q finishing touch, he will carry a
rapier with a gold hilt. Should the
professor be Of noble birth or ex-
traction he may wear in addition o

DREAMLESS SLEEP.
There Is No such Thing. According

According to Sir Arthur Mitchell OF
English fame. there is no such thing
Us dreamless sleep; that thinking Is
involuntary-to the extent ut least that
we cannot cease to think under any
order Of the will; that thinking never
ceases during life and Is essential to
the continuance of life; that dream
thinking is uncontrolled and indirect
ed by the will, Is never coherent and
concentrated. is more or less OF the
same character as thinking in delirium
and constitutes a state OF mental dis
order which Is not Il state OF disease;
that thinking when awake Is always to
some extent under the control Of the
will by which it Is directed to SUBJ
ject and kept there; that there are
many degrees Of sleep and wakefulness
and as many degrees Of efficiency In
the controlling power Of the will; that
thinking like breathing or the beating
Of the heart, does not cause sense OF
WEAKNESS, though all three have a
wearing effect ON all the organs con-
cerned; that the willis inhibiting and
directing work brings fatigue and
demand for rest; that the will finds
this rest and refreshment In sleep and
that the frequent occurrence OF state
Of disordered mind in sleep does not do
US harm, but on the contrary does US
good.

The lnvaIid's Bed.

When making the invalid's bed
the upper sheet should be put on
the bed so that the hem will be
wrong side up, for when this sheet
is turned down over the blanket at
the top the hem will then be up
permost and make an attractive and
neat finish to the bed. 1t should
also be tucked in securely at the
foot to prevent pulling out and wor-
rying the patient. If possible to
make a selection in blankets the
choice should lie in two thin ones
rather than one heavy one, for the
air gets in between the two blankets
and helps to keep the patient warm
and the atmosphere of the bed pure.
Besides, the weight in bedclothing
should always be a consideration.

AUSTRALIAN BOXER
REACHES NEW YORK

New York, Feb "a new fighter from Aus
tralia has come to town by the way of Gibraltar.
His name is George O'Rourke, and he Is keen
for go with some Of the best ltghtweights on
this side, especially Joe Cans, the dusky holder
of two championship titles .l
O'Rourke Is an Australian by birth, but tor
the past few years has been in North Africa,
Europe and England. He has met and defeated
practically all Of the good men in his class In
his native country, and has also been very sue
cessful on the continent. He arrived on the
North German Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse. O'Rourke was brought to this country
by Frank Dwyer, who saw him fight in Gibral-
tar few weeks ago and promptly annexed him
and is of the best lighters at 1873 pounds
ever saw, I met him at Gibraltar where I
found him giving the physical culture exhibit
lions and fighting. He put big fellow named
Cayman, who had about ten pounds on him, out
in the second round. I saw at once that he had
championship material. I wrote Tom O'Rourke
about him. and we are going to match him
with one Of the top notchers in the new Tuxedo
club just outside of Philadelphia. st
"From what I hear, neither Battling Nelson
or Jimmy Britt don't want to fight Joe Cans,
and If the colored man can make 1873 pounds, I'd
like to put O. Rourke in the ring with him.
The new fighter is a quiet young fellow and
seems to have little more than the average
ringside intelligence In build he is very much
like Kid Layigue. having very broad shoulders,
fine chest and body that tapers sharply to
his hips. According to Dwyer he fights very
much like Lay1gue, being ring general OF
ability and able to take an awful amount Of
gruelling. -. %S5. 3s4LE - 81. ~s r-. ~

New Haven. Conn. Feb. 5.-The committee
appointed by the Yale university council to
frame new athletic measures ptoday made its
report to the council. Its members refuse to-
announce the recommendations they have made,
but it is known that they are more radical than
the general Yale faculty believed they would
be, because the faculty ignored the COMMITTEES
after It was chosen and have been going ahead
and holding mass tings, at which such revolu-
tionary measures the abolition of gate receipts
and professional coaches were discussed.
Before passing any votes, however the faculty
decided to wait till the special committee
framed Its report. If they are not satisfied
with this they will adopt more radical measures.
: It Is understood that the special committee
will recommend: 49, ':'~ ;s5t- tsFS $3.50

FLOCK TO sLOCUM TRIAL
New York Herald.

Small boys are attending the Slocum
trial with an interest not due to rela-
tionship with any victim, but because
of a fve-foot model of the General
Slocum carried into the courtroom
Saturday by "Tom'' Clarity, chief
office boy Of former Judge Dittenhoffer,
counsel Of the accused Captain Schaik.
Not a boat, raft, spar, rope, railing
or stanchion carried by the burned
steamship but is in its place on the
$500 model. When the model was de-
livered to Mr.. Dittenhoffer office a
client, with his three young sons, was
present.
And what will you do with the boat
when you are thru with it, sir2' one
lad finally found courage to ask.
'sI expect to give it to some good
boy who stands high in school, re-
sponded the lawyer.
That was sufficient. The next Sat
urday the three lads, accompanied by
four others, called and asked to see the
beat, and Saturday after Saturday th'
boys have come in droves. AS Clarity
carried the boat down Broadway to tn
Federal building Saturday morning HI
was followed by an admiring procession
of more than hundred small boys
The moment court adjourned for lunch
con, the crowd of little chaps surround
ed the model and We're happy.
