Drake is 4 'McPhee's shipyard. in East Boston undergoing repairs for one of the most peculiar accidents in the his- t tory of nnvigatiou. While cruisizzg in:southern waters the schooner was caught in a cyclonic storm which revolved around the vessel in such a manner that: all four of her masts were twisted in their steps. When the ship carpenters investigated the schoon- er preparatory to beginning their work. they could scarcely believe their eyes. Plainly Some rotary motion of wind and storm had caught the poles in a lever- age, forcing them just half way around. No explanation is offered for .the masts not coming out of the vessel. All four are standing and have been carrying sail all the way to port.1lo other dam- age was received during the storm, and although the masts wee turned they were not injured in the least; The accident is the first of its kind in the memories of the oldest navigators, about the harbor. They say that of all freaky gales reported of the tropies this is the strangest, and manly refused ,to believe the story until .they had visited the yard and viewed the schooner them- selves.—Boston Transcript. BABY'S GREAT DANGER DURING HOT WEATHER. More little lives are lost during the hot weather than at any other time of the year, diarrhoea, dysentry, cholera, infant= and stomach troubles come without warning, and when a medicine ie not 4 hand to give proariptly the short delay too frequently means that the child has frequently passed beyond aid During the hot weather menthe Baby's Own Tablets should be kept in every home where there are small child- ren. An occasional dpse of the Tablets will prevent stomach and bowel troubles. Or if the trouble conies unawares the prompt use of this medicine will bring the child through safely. Mrs. J. Ren- ard, New Glasgow, Que., says:—"One of my children had a severe attack of dia- rrhoea which Baby's Own Tablets promptly cured. I know of no medicine so ' good for stomach and bowel troubles."

A serious menace to health is threa- tened at Nahant by the large quantities of fish which have been thrown up on the beaches and rocks following, it is believed, the appearance if porpoises and large fish supposed to be whales. Although the fishermen gather them as the tide recedes many are overlooked. It is the opinion of the natives that the fish, which include mackerel, hake, pol- lock and herring, all small in size, have been forced' ashore by the larger fish which have invaded the waters recent- ly. •,4 Kinard's Liniment Cures Distemper. 4.4 Drawing it Fine.

Claiming to have found icicles that have been preserved for over sixty years, Harry E, Elliott is backed by four com- panions who were with him irhen the discovery was made. Over sixty years ago an old oilhouse, where the fluid was kept for use in the Cape Henlopen light- house, was suddenly covered up by the shifting sands of Rehoboth Beach. No effort was made to uneover it, and the sand remained there until many .had for- gotten that a house bad ever been on the spot. ' Last week when Harry E. Elliott, a well known merchant, and four other companions were walking down the beach near one of the sand dunes they noticed the peak of a snraIl house show-' ing forth and procuring shovels started to dig the sand away, until finally the door of the little place appeared. Burst- ing open the door from its rusted hinges the men suddenly plunged into a verit- able icehouse and were astonished to find icicle's hanging from the roof. The ice was broken off, but in a few moments melted away. Upon investigation it was found that the old oilhouse had been covered up for over sixty years and the icicles, which were formed then, had kept in the perfectly airtight compartment un- til the men dug the sand away. —Reho- both Beach Correspondence Baltimore American. 400 Minard's 'Liniment Cures Colds, etc. ♦ea RATS AND LEPROSY. Marine Surgeon Finds Disease in San Francisco Relents. Whether it is possible for rats to transmit leprosy to human beings is a question which, says a San Francisco special in the New York Herald, has come up pointedly here, following a re- port made by Dr. George McCoy, passed assistant surgeon or the Marine Hospital Service to Surgeon -General Wyman. A peculiar disease similar to leprosy has ben discovered among the rats in San Francisco, and experts are now consid- ering whether it could be transmitted to persons. The reports of Dr. McCoy say: "Soon after being assigned to the ex- terminations of rats in. San Francisco I was informed by the city bacteriologist that he had observed the leprosy -like disease in one or two instances. He also showed me gross and microscopic speci- mens of the lesions. "I therefore began to look for the condition and to keep notes on its oc- currence. "During the period covered by this report 13,5(10 rats were examined and .20 cases of the disease observed. It is believed, however, that the condition is more frequent than these figures indi- cate, as all of the cases observed have been made in full-grown, large rats, and the lesions very well marked. "As to the relation of the disease to leprosy in man, Dr, W. R. Brinkerhoff, director of the leprosy investigation sta. tion at Molokai, Hawaii, states in an article which appeared in the transac- tions of the fifteenth annual meeting of the Hawaiian Territorial Medical Socie- ty, as follows: " `The question immediately arises as to whether this disease of the rat may not be huma.n leprosy occurring in that animal. Of course, with the data now available, it is impossible to give a cate- goiical answer to this question, but the geographical distribution of the disease speaks against an affirmative reply. It seems more probable that rat leprosy is to human leprosy as is bovine or avian tuberculosis to the human disease; rath. er than that it is like plague or glanders, a disease common to and transmissible between two species.'

As he lighted a cigar at the wings an officer of the fire brigade informed him that he must not smoke in the • theatre. "But it is in the play," explained M.

Mounet made his entry as usual; but following him were two firemen, one of them with a bucket of water and the other with a huge sponge. The audience appreciating the situation, roared and applauded with delight, and M.
