told by the men. in English :ha:

an unusually heavy sea struck the
stealer aod Il keeled over az dang
erous angle. She was repeatedly
struck by high waves and finally went
ove. On hes side. In the meantime
the other members Of the crew came
on deck and taking n the sitra-
ton secured lie belts. Nothing
could be done to right the vessel aad
as she was rapidly settling the crew
looked about Cor safety. The only
boat had been swep: from the davits
and was floating away. Therefore
here was nothing for the men to do
,ut to jump into the sea-
All OF them managed to And tn-
YER or other floating objects from,

swimmers struck out for the drift
Ing boat The little craft was soa:-
Ing bottom up. and after a trying
time the boat was righted and an
attempt made to clear It OF water.
Enough was gotten ont after a two
hours struggle to put two men IN It
and with the aid OF their hands and
2 pal. OF marine glasses they scooped
enough water out to permit others
TO climb IN.
Meanwhile the weakest OF the
swimmers and two that could not
swim went down. one By one.
When the water was finally out et
the boat. tho last remaining mar
cling;ng to it was hauled in and i
was found tha: eight men were miss

There Is an old saying that what one
really wants one usually gets. The preface
OF the Library OF Home Economies truly
says: 1T is realized that the business OF
housekeeping has not kept pace with the
tremendous advancement in other lines OF
human endeavor: that the wonderful dis
coveries in science and development In
been applied to the problems Of personal
health and home life"
The public schools and some Of the
normal schools are beginning TO put In
cooking and sewing. and the most OF the
housekeepers for the homes and asylums
are required to be graduates in domestic
science.
For years the magazines have been
giving lessons in the art Of home making
and many have taken advantage OF their
opportunities. while others have skipped
such pages with the remark, cooking is
bad enough without having to read about
it,
Reading would have shown the way to

one OF us 10 learn the easiest way to do
our work: then we are I'm better physical

CASE OF LEPROSY
is NOT CONTAGIOUS

AUGUSTA, Ga, Jan. 9.-Mayor Salley,
of Aiken. has given out a statement, cal
cuIated TO show that, in his opinion, there
was no danger to the people of Aiken
from the presence of the case Of leprosy
there. Mayor Salley says, however. that
as a precaution Miss Mary V. Kirke, the
unfortunate lady, was removed to the lit
tie house. which has been erected at the
city's expense in sequestered spot sew
eral miles from Aiken. Mr.. Salley says:
There is no danger at all. The case
is quarantined. and has been for sew
eral days. This form of leprosy is not
very contagious, 1 am told, and again,
Miss Kirlxe is an old lady and rarely goes
on the streets. She is SO years Of age.
But anyhow people could go to see
her and TO prevent that we put on the
quarantine. She has had II for the last
fifteen years, and nobody has caught it
from her Not a single soul has taken It.
People have lived in the same rooms
with her and L am informed that some
people have actually slept with her and
not caught II"
Miss Kirk has known she had leprosy
for a long time. She caught It in South
America. where she was a missionary,
and went to see a famous specialist, DIR.
Hutchinson, in London in 1898. He pro-
nounced II leprosy.
Miss Kirke says there was lot of it
in the tropics when she caught It.
