DOCTOR IS CABIN BOY.
Milwaukee Physician Quits Large
Practice for $40 Job at Sea.

New York-It was the fascination
of the Pacific, the undeniable attrac-
ton of endless blue skies and rolling
seas that caught Daniel Wylie, Mil
waukee physician, and caused him, as
so many others have done, to secure
employment that would keep him in
the Sandwich islands. Less than
year ago Wylie, about 35 years old,
shipped out of this port for Honolulu
as cabin boy" aboard the American
bark Nuuanu, Capt. Joselyn. Now he
is purser of an island steamer plying
between Honolulu, Maui, Hawaii and
other islands
The Nuuanu has come back. Capt
Josselyn, an elderly skipper, who
lives at Duxbury, Mass, told of his
physician cabin boy. He said: "He
made good cabin boy; never saw
better one to clean brasses than
Wylie. He wac good doctor, too, by
all accounts. A man about 35 years
old, should imagine. He got $40
month as cabin boy and said he left
a practice of $4,000 a year to make
the sea trip. He was shattered in
health, you see; nerves gone; worked
too hard. Well, naturally, you can
see what it led to. His health gave
way and he was advised to go east
and take long sea trip.
Seems his wife was dead and he
had left two children out west there.
Wylie stood the test well. When we
we're out a few days he was very bad
and could hardly get about. After
that he braced up, however, and stead
ly recovered his health"

London.-The enormous feminine
demand for artificial coils and t.,u-

hair: Formerly Swiss. German and.
Hungarian girls supplied the world
of fashionable women with luxuriant
tresses of ali tints.
But the governments of many conn.
tries are now making it illegal for a
girl to sell her hair or for any agent
to buy it. The supply in consequences
is running short, and the prices of
real hair are trebling.

therefrom, but indeed, to welcome

with blue roses, the costume being
completed by blue kid gloves taking
almost royal tone.

We have no mean choice between

his department since January 1, all of
the victims have been children.
Il believe that most of the diseased
germs are close to the ground" he
said. I'VE know that these germs are
taken into the system through the
nose in breathing. They find a breed
ing place in the dirt of the streets,
and as they are stirred up by the pass
ing pedestrians, they are drawn into
the nose.
''The germs never reach any great
altitude. Most of them are falling
toward the earth, and as the chill
dren's noses are closer to the ground
than those of adults, they are more
likely to inhale the disease-makers."

Pittsburg, Pa.-With the great
mass OF official business off his hands,
,aused by the annual meeting of the
Museum Directors association, in this
tity recently, Dr. w. ]. Holland now
intends to devote himself to the
mounting of the many new finds made
within the last few months.
By far the most interesting OF
these, from historical standpoint, is
the skeleton of Stonewall Jackson's
horse, which was secured by the di.
rector against much quiet but per-
sistent competition. DR.. Holland will
prepare this exhibit with his own
hands, and it probably will be placed
in the museum within a fortnight The
skeleton is said to be practically per-

The skeleton of another famous war
horse of the rebellion, Winchester, the
charger of Gen. Phil Sheridan, in his
famous 20-mile ride, is government
property, and is kept in the museum
on Governors island, in New York
harbor. This museum for long time
has been going to ruin through the
lack of an appropriation to keep it up.
