NAVAL RESERVES READY.
All Preparations for the Jamestown
Cruise Made.


The Naval Reserves are making their
final preparations for the annual cruise.
Last evening the division quarters were
the scene of much hurry and hustle,
and, incidentally, disorder. Outfits and
ditty bags were thrown here and there
about the floor, While just outside the
doors of the quarters a good many of
the tackles were busy fixing their
sleeping hammocks. There were about
fifty tars busy, working like beavers,
but last nights rush was nothing to
what it will be tonight, for the boys
go in the morning.
Last evening several of the Bridge
port division jackies were in the city,
They and a couple of the New Haven
boys did not return from the informal
cruise up to Fort Fisher until then, be-
cause the Bridgeport Naval battalion
launch broke down and the New Ha-
ven launch remained behind to tow
them in. The rest of the men came in
on the Elfrida on Saturday.
The commander of the jamestown
expedition will be Commander Frank
S. Cornwell, of New Haven, and the
division from this city will be under
the command of Lieutenant Peck. The
local jackies will go on board to-mor.

EVANGELIST swooNs.
Mrs. c. $. whitney D-Ops While
Preaching TT RowaytOn.


Mrs C. S. Whitney, an evangelist
from New York city, was taken sud
denly i'll while preaching in the Bap-
fist church at Rowayton, suburb of
Norwalk, Sunday noon. Mrs Whitney
had nearly concluded her sermon, when
the Bible she was holding dropped from
her hand. She stopped to pick it up
when she was noticed to totter, and in
a moment fell to the floor. She arose
and took a seat in the chair back of the
pulpit. She appeared to be IN a dazed
condition, but moved her hand toward
the congregation, giving the impression
that she believed she would be able
continue her discourse in a moment or
two. People in the audience went to
her assistance, and by that time the
evangelist was unconscious.
Dr.. Francis l. Burnell of South Nor
walk was summoned by telephone, and
he expressed TIE opinion that Mrs,
whitney was suffering from cerebral
hemorrhage or apoplexy, probably the
latter. The ambulance was summon
ed from South NorwaIk. and she was
removed to the NorwalS hospital Yes
terday she was still unconscious and
hopes of her recovery are not bright
Mrs. whitney is large woman, and is
seyenty-two years of age.

OYSTER MEN DEFIANT.
Resume Operations on Land Where
They Were Arrested.

They were Arrested,
Milford, July 29.- A few weeks ago
reports were printed of the catching of
oysters by men in boats on what is
Known as natural beds off the shore
near Milford Point and of the arrest
and flning of number of the men who
were engaged in this catching of oys-
ters ON these natural beds and of the
subsequent visit to Mr.. Platt's office
of these men, who We're fined, who
brought to his attention the fact that
sonnet Of the land under cultivation by
H. G. Rowe and others was inside a
line which they claimed had been es-
tablished by the legislature some time
ago, inside of which no oysters were
to be cultivated and asked that both
Mr.. Rowe and those who had sold him
the land be also hauled up before the
courts. Mr.. Platt took the matter I'M
der advisement but nothing so far as
is known has been done in the matter.
Recently the men who were arrested
together with others who are formed
into what is known as the Natural
Growth Oyster Mems association, held
a meeting in Bridgeport, and While it
is not known Just what was done at
this meeting the appearance of dozen
or more of their boats at work Friday
on the same oyster grounds where they
/ were at work when arrested seems to
some to look like a def to Mr., Platt tC
have them arrested again, and the next
move in this dispute is awaited with
interest by a good many persons.

OLDEST TREE IN AUSTRALIA.
In Time of Drouth the Cattle Feed
Upon the Wood.

The vegetation of Australia is differ
ent from that of any other country.
The various species number about TO-
O0C, which Is far greater number than
is to be found in Europe. A popularity
of the trees found growing near the
coast is the vertical direction of the
foliage, which allows the sunlight to
pass easily through the leaves. Many
curious trees are found. but none is
more remarkable than the bottle tree.
or baobab. The popularity of the tree
is found in its abnormal trunk, which.
as compared with other forest trees. Is
out of all proportion to its branches
Sometimes the trunk is nearly spheri-
cal, resembling a huge inverted turnip.
The peculiar nature of its spongy
soft wood Is responsible for this re-
Juvenescence. The tissues contain large
quantities of moisture in the form of
mucilage. Indeed. in time of drouth
the trees are often felled and the wood
broken up into small pieces. This the
cattle devour with great relish The
fruit takes the form of thln-shelled
gourdlike capsule covered with thin !
green velyety pile. In fine examples |

According TO some curious inestiga-
tons conducted by English scientists
eldest sons tend to be criminals and
youngest sons paupers. A great many
thousand school children and many
family histories have been examined to
yield these results. Flrst-born children
were found to be, as a rule, taller and
heavier, with greater ability and en-
durance than the others This is In ac-
cordance with the popular feeling in
many countries that the oldest child Is
superior to the others and deserving of
special privileges. 1t is well-estab-

HOW TO CURE A COLD.
Some of the Remedies that Were
Used Long Ago.


Used Long Ago.
Materla medica has advanced In
nothing of late years so much as in
the treatment of colds, which are so
prevalent just now, says the Dundee
Weekly News.
Time was when even the most dig
nified gentleman in the world who Was
suffering from this ailment had to sub
INIT to having his stately nose rubbed
with goose grease. Now, there is no
emollient more disagreeable than goose
grease which may be the reason 1t was
once considered 50 efIicacious. AT all
events It was in other days placed In
the category of things which could not
be avoided, like death and taxes.
Time was also when the outward and
visible sign of an inward sore throat
was a strip of red flannel bound tight
ly about the aching part Now the spec
tacle of a learned and dignifed gentle
man with line of red showing above
his linen was hardly edifying and
there were frequent struggles against
women of the family believed in the
efficacy of red flannel. Without that
flannel the sore throat might develop
into diphtheria, the diphtheria would
certainly develop into consumption and
the consumption into the grave.
Besides goose grease and red flannel
there were such remedies as rubbngs
with turpentine and anointings with
camphor. One could tell when per-
son had a cold while he was yet half
mile away and it was very disagree
able even for the most loving friends
They do things better now. No
household boasts of any grease, nor
would the mother of a family know
where to procure some, no matter how
desperately 1t were needed. Red fan
mel is in disgrace. The physicians Of :
the present day say that wearing it
makes the throat delicate.
Even the merry chest protector Is
abandoned. There are few rubbings
with turpentine. The air is no longer
camphor-scented

Four days later the patient is among
