CREW OF BARK SAVED AFTER

NORFOLK, Va, June 13.-After a
three days fight for life in two small
boats, $50 miles out in the Atlantic

men, composing the crew, two cogs
and a cat, who were rescued by the
British steamer Metis after having
abandoned her barkentine, the Good
News, of Philadelphia, are today safe
on land.
1t is thrilling tale that Capt. Erik
sson and his crew tell. Struck by a
heavy storm the Good News sprang a
leak. All hands remaining continually
at the pumps failed to keep her adoat.
and at noon, June 8, the ship was
abandoned in latitude 29.42 N. and lon
gitude 1926 w. The captains daugh-
ter showed great bravery and after
the Good News went to the bottom she
cheered the men. At times 1t seemed
as though the two little boats would
be swamped by the huge waves. A
sail was rugged and one boat towed
the other. Three days and nights
passed. Only a little hard bread and
a half gallon of water comprised the
provisions.
1t was not until Monday, June 6,
that the Metic hove in sight.

THE WHISKY BATH CURE

Mr.. Rockefeller, it is reported, has
derived great Lenefit from whisky
baths taken first thing in the morning,
and with the object of ascertain4ng
whether the whisky bath was pune
American luxury or whether 1t was
known or likely to become popular
in England, Pail Mall Gazette rep
resentative approached several promi-
nent medical men.
In each case there was a disposition
to accord Cousin Jonathan the full
credit for this singular idea. Those
who cherish teetotal principles Will
learn, possibly with relief, that at pres
ent, at any rate, there are no indi-
cations of England adopting this pecu-
liar antebreakfast habit.
Il have never heard of a whisky
bath being prescribed for any patent
in England" remarked one medical
gentleman. I'VE use many spirit To-
tions, which are applied for reducing
swellings. Alcohol in that form can,
after all, have only local affect. The
bath treatment is common, too, for
feverish conditions, such as typhoid
and diseases of the skin, but only
water is used. l have heard of milk
baths, but a whisky bath is someth ng
quite new, and" he added, "it must
be introduced mainly to please the
vanity of an illustrious American pa
tient."
Another medical authority confirmed
the foregoing remarks. Surgeons In
Germany" he pointed out, use alco-
hol in fairly large quantities for wash
ing their hands, chiefly as a disin-
fectant in operations, but 1 have Meth
er seen nor heard of a whisky bath.
That is what a speaker at the doctors
congress had in ihs mind the other
day when he told the National Tenn
perance union that German doctors
were good friends of temperance be-
cause they used alcohol outside and
not inside.
Eau de cologne baths are frequent
ly taken" he observed, land they, after
all, are only diluted alcohol. Their
supreme merit is their refreshing and
cleansing qualities"
Asked whether a whisky bath was
likely to have any particular efficacy
the doctor replied that he could con-
ceive of none. 1.-THE patient" he ex-
planned humorously, could not even
have the debatable privilege of get
ting drunk that way, because the eff
feet of alcohol is to harden the skin,
and the evaporation would only go
to a certain extent Undoubtedly, how
ever Mr. Rockefeller has contravened
the laws of true temperance, and it is,
so far, at any rate, inconceivable that
he Will tind manV III EnSlanu 10 LhI-
tate his curious example"
IT is interesting to add that. apart
from mud baths, light baths and va
por baths, athletes in some degree ia
vor alcohol in a way peculiar to them
selves They use whisky for harden
ing their feet, and it is mentioned that
one crack runner called at an inn for
a quantity of whisky and to the sur
p~ise of eve ybody poured it into his
boots.
But so far as the whisky bath is
concerned 1t is the possession fitt'nely
enough of the land of novelties and
sensations-Pall Mall Gazette.

BARBARA FRITcHIE NO FICTION

Tradition has been indicated, at
least in part, after years of denials
and counter denials," said Henry A.
Evans of Frederick, Md, to a Bal
timore friend in the lobby of the New
Willard.
IF my information is correct, the
Barbara Fritchie story is not the fic-
ton that some historical writers have
asserted. Some new light has been
shed on the old story"
Mr.. Evans is the editor of the Fred
erick News and is greatly interested
in the traditions of the town. He has
published many stories of the Bar
bara Fritchie incident and as he said
he has grown somewhat skeptical on
account of the repeated contradictions
concerning it that have been sub
mitted to him from time to time.
mot long ago." said Mr.. Evans, "a
Grand Army veteran told me he was
preparing an article which would
prove that Whittier's poem was not al
together a fabrication. Stories have
been published, you know, to the eff
feet that there was no foundation for
the poem. 1t has been denied that
such a woman as Barbara Fritchie
ever existed. The article which 1 re-
fer to will put quietus on these state
ments, although l must confess it will
not verify the most dramatic part OF
the tale. The author of the article OBJ
tanned his information, as he told me,
from man who was sergeant in the
Confederate army which marched
through Frederick.
According to the former Confed-
crates story, Barbara Fritchie did
wave the American flag as the South
ern troops were passing her house. He
said she did not hang it out of Win
dow, though, and, so far as he knew
no one shot the staff which held 1t.
The poem, you remember, makes Gen
eral Stonewall Jackson give stern
rebuke to the soldier who fired the
shot.
Who harms one hair on yon gray
head
Dies like a dog.
That's the way Whittier put it, as
1 remember. But the version that my
Grand Army friend gave me is en-
tirely different The old Confederate
told him that as the troops were
marching past house-whose it was,
of course, he didn't know at that time
an old woman came to the front
door with a Union flag in her hand.
She waved this back and forth, al
though she didn't say anything The
soldiers all along the line were joking
her in a good-natured way. In his
own company were several young fell

the fun they could get out of even
such a tiresome affair as a march
along dusty roads When thev saw
the old woman waving the flag they
raised their guns and pointed them
in her direction, just to see if they
could get her to say something to
them. These guns were not loaded, as
they were not in action, and so the
sergeant's story goes, there was not
the slightest danger for the woman.
The boys were merely acting in
spirit of mischief.
"The sergeant himself he relates,
nrdered the hoYs to stop their fool
