Here from Genoa and Naples and was
reported by wireless off Fire Island at
5.50 o'clock. Approximately ten min-
utee later she ran her nose on the Fire
Island sandpit during the fog that pre-
vailed at that hour and was held hard
and fast. Two tugs have been despatch-

age, all from Naples, Genoa, Palermo
and Gibraltar.

Peterson assured the company here that
the vessel was not in a dangerous posi-
tion.
It was said that few of the passeng-
ers knew that the Prinzess Irene was
aground until they rose for breakfast.
There was no excitement on board.
A late message from the Irene said

NOT CLEANLY
Toronto Health Officer Condemns Use
of Public Drinking Cup.
Board of Health Considers Measure
to Prevent Exposure of Foodstuff
Toronto despatch "The public ;hint:- •
ing eup is one of the most filthy habits
tolerated by civilized man,” declared the
City Medical Health Officer, Dr. Charles
Ji°'Heetings, at the meeting of the local
Bard of Health yesterday afternoon.
"The ice cream sodaglasses are wash-
ed out in what is practically a solution
of saliva,"" he said, with reference to
the common practice at soda fountains
of washing the glasses under the count-
er. No cups are allowed in Massachus-
etts, the porters on the trains taking
them all away as soon as they enter the
State. Many cities are abolishing the
public drinking 4uos-
A by-law to abolish them in any pub-
lic school, hotel, theatre, public hall,
public park, street or way, or any prem-
ises used eve, public institution hi the
city, and to require the substitution of
sanitafy fountains or individualcups
was proposed by the board, but was con-
sidered not needed, as the'.publie health
act now empowers the city authorities
to control such 'matters.
'The Board of Health may shortly take
measures to prohibit the exposure of
foodstuffs ,of various' kinds to street
dust. insects' and animals, and therefore
to liability of infection and corruption.
A by-law embodying .strict provisions
in this regard was submitted to the
board yesterday, but after consideration
at some length was referred back for
certain changes to the special commit-
tee which drafted it, viz., medical
heeith officer, the chairman (Ale. Row-
land), Ald. McCarthy and Ald. McMur-
rich- 'As drafted the by-law may seri-
ously affect the . posh -cart and other

moved, by Field Marshal Lord Roberts
on Monday on the subject of national
defence wa's lit` -;i ; in the House of
Lords yesterday ,mating and adopted by
a vote of 99 to 40. ' it Bets forth that

Lord ,t'urz6n,:, speaking in support
of the motion, ' said that he welcomed
warmly the idea of arbitration with the
United States, but it was not from
America :that Great Britain ran the
risk of invasion. He Would like to see
an arbitration treaty with a European

HOW TO RAISE AND CARE FOR
THE PROFITA :i LE HEN.
LESSON 5—THEIR AILMENTS AND CURES.
It has been said that 90 per cent. of
the ailments that attack chickens are
directly due to either the carelessness
or ignorance of the attendant, especially
where fowls are confined in close quart-
ers.
There are many ,causes for the dis-
eases of fowls, among which are: Too
close inbreeding (no new, outside stock
introduced into the flock), impairing the
stamina and vitality of the fowls; the
presenee of filth in or around the poul-
try hoose; stagnant and filthy drinking,
water; improper ventilation; direct
drafts in the roosting house; allowing
aoeess of decaying vegetables or flesh;
lack of good, sharp grit; and lice.
The worst disease is undoubtedly
roup. The first symptoms are sneezing
and a alight running at the nostrils, the
appetite fails, the comb begins to turn
black, and unless relieved the chicken
dies in a few days. It is contagious to
the rest of the flock, so separate then
at once. Excellent remedies are on the
market. A few drops of tincture of
muriate of iron and a small- piece of
gum camnplior in the drinking water
will cure any but the very severe cases.
A chicken that gets :a;very severe case
'might as. well be killed; its eareass
tshould be burned.
Next to roup, cholera is most to be
' dreaded. The symptoms are dumpish-
ness and a diarrhea, the excrement being
of a greenish yellow color. Cholera is
highly contagious. Feed lightly with a
warm mash of ground oats, wheat, bran
'and midlings, with a little flour mixed
in. Mix with scalding hot water and
season with a little red pepper. Get
one quarter of a pound each of powdered
sulphur, copperas, capsicum and alum,
mix thoroughly and add a tablespoonful
for each dozen chickens afflicted to the
mash three times a day. Supply clean
water and grit, and those that don't
improve in two days kill and burn. Keep
them separate until well.
Small worms sometimes lodge in the
windpipes of chicks, making them gape
and in time chokes them to death. One
of the:beet ways to treat gapeworms is
to place the chicks in a box.eovered over
with cheese cloth and dust air -slaked
lime through to make the chicks sneeze.
and thus expel the worms. Don't over-
do this. A good way to prevent gape-
worm is to sprinkle air -slaked lime in
house and run.
Dysentry is cause by over -heating,
chilling and improper feeding. Feed
sparingly for a few days, no corn at alt,
anti they will usually -recover.
Limberneck is caused by fowls eat-
ing decaying animal or vegetable mat-
ter, which is alive with worms or mag-
gots. .A few drops of turpentine or
kerosene poured down the throat, will
effect a cure.
Be regular in the matter of feeding-
Don't
eedingDon't keep a flock on a single gain diet.
Don't allow manure to collect. Clean
up. daily. Before you buy new stock be
sure they are well. Introduce new blood
either by stock or eggs every year or
two.
In next week's talk the writer will
travel the route from the nest and poul-
try house to the table and market.
(Continued Next Week.)
FATAL CROSSING.
Brother and Sister Are Run Down by

•
, Beaver, Pa., April 10.—A sister and a

making circles of fire, screeched by and
stopped.
