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 80 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. NaGi, 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 was a good doctor. too, by
all accounts. A man about 35 years
old, I should imagine. He got SO a
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 a long sea trip.
Seems his wife was dead and he
had LETT two children out west there.
| Wylie stood the test well. When we
were out few days he was very bad
and could hardly get about After
that he bTaced up, however, and stead

TALL PEOPLE LIVE LONGEST.
Cleveland Health officer Says Germs
Can't Climb Up to Their Noses.

Cleveland, O.-Health officer Mar
Tin Friedrich, of this city advances a
new germ theory that is certainly en-
couraging to people who are tall.
Blessed are the tall says Fried
rich, for they shall live long. A six
footer," he continued, has more
chance to escape disease germs than
the little fellow. Those built close to
the ground must be on the lookout -
Friedrich was perusing the physi-
clans mortality reports. and noticed
a prevalence of children's diseases.
Out of 26 cases of cerebrospinal men
ingitis, or spotted fever. reported to
his department since January l, all of
the victims have been children.
q believe that most of the disease
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. .

A Human Brick.

truman 0FICH.
When Herman Unger, a commercial
traveller down Boston way, concluded
to depart this life he desired some
disposition of his body which would
preclude resurrection. Accordingly he
dec,eed that his corpse be cremated
and that the ashes be mixed with suf-
ficient cement to form a solid rock
Upon MS demise recently his rela-
tives carried out his wishes. Mixing
five parts cement with one part ashes,
they did the good Herman into a
brick. Pressed into the face thereof
are these words: Herman Unger.
Leave me in peace" But we believe
that such brick as Herman cannot.
ond should not, be left in peace to es-
cape resurrection, says the st. Louis
Republic. Herman should fit nicely
into the golden and jasper streets of
che happy future. If the road to hell
10 paved with good intentions. why
not pave the road to heaven with
cynical purpose? Why not prove that
no poor mortal, however he seeks to
escape happiness, can fail to come
into 1t at last-be he no more than
beatified brick in the pavement of the
Eternal City?

Sanitation of Small Towns.

We hear much of the reduction in
the death rate OF large cities in recent
years, but very little about the i'm
provement of the health of small
towns. 1t is well known, says the In
dependent, that I'll the infectious dis
eases claim many less victims in, city
life than they did rs years ago, and
the reason for 1t is not far to seek.
Cities established departments OF
health, gave to them ample powers,
and then insisted on their being ef-
fective if their appropriations were to
be continued. The consequence has
been that not only has much suffer
ing been spared. but thousands-nay.
even hundreds of thousands-of peo-
pie are now alive who. in the words OF
one prominent sanitarian, have no

been dead if the death rate that pre-.
vailed 20 years ago still obtained.

God. We know that their living Is
the result of the taking of some very
simple measures for the prevention Of

has learned the great lesson Of the
times with respect to the responsible
lily and duty of directors of corpora

ton to the presidency, he emphasized
the fact that life insurance is more
than private business, that life in
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
of public service and with the respon
sibilities that attach to going busi-
ness which at the same time must be
administered as a trust"
He also realizes that similar respon-
sibilities rest upon the officers of the
company. Il understand" he says.
