FIREMAN SHUGRUE BREAKS DOWN FROM WORRY OVER
 NEW HAVEN JAIL FIRE

New Haven, June 20.-Connie Shu- yrue the fireman who was badly in jured in the recent jail fire and who saved himself from death only by the most heroic of efforts, has been taken to the St. Raphael hospital. suffering from a complete nervous breakdown. Shugrue has only been out of the hos pita1 a short time and on duty a few days. In the recent shake up of the department, he was shifted to Com Marshal Perkins.
 He started on his new duties Satur- day and was apparently all right. Yes terday morning while working at house No. 1, he developed surprising symptoms and it was found necessary to take him to the hospital at once. He practically lost control of himself and was delirious. The mep of the house had quite a time with him. but finally got him into the ambulance. His mental derangement will only be temporary, it is believed. His con- dition is supposed to be the result of brooding on the jail fire in which six of his companions lost their lives.
 Shugrue was with Captain Chapman and the other firemen who were killed at the time of the explosion which caused a spread of the flames and fin ally resulted in their death. He saved himself by Jumping over the side of the building to the ground about one hundred feet below. He was picked up more than half an hour after his jump. badly burned and battered and bruised

Bedouins and Water.

It is not unusual to hear Bedouin upon reaching camp where water is offered him refuse it with the remark, q drank only yesterday" On the Bedouins' long marches across dry countries the size of the water skins is nicely calculated to just outlast the journey, and they rarely allow them selves to break the habit of abstemi- ousness, as this would be sure to make their next water fast all the harder. They are accustomed from infancy to regard water as a most precious com modity and use it with religious econ omy. They know every hollow and nook in the mountains where water may be found. Their camels and goats. which they take with them on their marches to supply them with milk and meat, live principally on the scanty herbage and foliage of the thorny mi- mosa. Neither men nor animals drink more than once in forty-eight hours. No wonder they can subsist where in- vaders quickly perish.

CRATER LAKES.
Mexico Has Some of the Most Perfect of These Peaceful Pools.

Mexico Has Some of the Most Perfect
 of These Peaceful Pools.
 The mere words "crater lake" carry with them charm and mystery that are akin to romance But Mexico with all her romance, has never given abroad any description of some of the most beautiful crater lakes in the world Valle de Santiago, a little town of the state of Guanajuato boasts four of the most perfect and beautiful of such lakes.
 The village nestles among eleven craters, all formed in some past age by sudden explosions from the interior of the earth. explosions that blew out a great amount of earth. formed low cones and subsided without flow of lava or other demonstration than the single explosion. They are what are known to science as explosion era ters."
 The calm restfulness of the crater lake is unlike anything in the world. One finds lakes and solitary pools in forests or mountain fastnesses. and the calm there is akin to witchery, but they are stirred sometimes by passing breezes, and the trees will wave above in the wind. But in a crater lake there is not breath that will stir 1t, and even stone cast into it's bosom creates ripples that seem as though they would be swallowed ere they are. born. Peace is a word with out a meaning until one lies silent on the slope of such crater, with such a lake at his feet.-Mexican Herald.

 Freeiag himself with difficulty, young Baker found his finger cut to the bone and the ring bent out Of shape The hammering of the ring back to such a shape that it could be torn from his finger was more than he could bear and he collapsed.
 Dr. Krause took him to the emer- gency hospital in the ambulance and sewed the mangled digit with seven stitches.

Mice That subsist on Scorpions.

Among the queer forms of animal life that inhabit Death valley is a mouse that has acquired such a taste for scorpions that they form its en- tire bill of fare.

But if is compara lively slow in it's motions. while mice are proverbiaI for their Quickness the world over The mouse learned many generations ago where the scorpion carries it's weapon. and when he meets it he leaps at the uplifted abdomen. takes off the sting at a single bite and proceeds to make a meal of his help less prey. It is supposed to be the only animal that relishes scorpions.

Tho Harm of Damp Houses.

It is dangerous to health and even to life in damp, moldy house or one built over a mOldy cellar. Many years ago the London Lancet in an article on diphtheria traced the disease in certain cases to the presence of cer- tain molds and fungoid growths which seemed to be breathed into the throat Remember, one of the best disinfec- tants is lime. Moldy cloths, such as shoes and other articles that are unfit for use, should be destroyed at once.
