Mr. Bocke, tlio author of "Notes From My South Sea Log," tells of bis tutor, who seemed to him tho most heroic man In the world because ho had boon through the first Maori war wid because of un adventure which there befell him, and which is given as follows: l'oor Guy such was tho tutor's name was a lieutenant, and he and two companies were captured by tho Maoris. They were taken inside the stockade, and the chief, taking up one of tho captured seamen's cutlasses, felt its cdg and then fixed his keen eye3 on the young officer's face. "I shall not harm these two men of yours," he said slowly. "The? shall go safely back to your lines if " lie paused, nud a grim smile distorted his tattooed face. "If what?" asked Guy calmly. "If you will stretch out your right hand so that I may cut it off at tho Wrist swiftly, no further harm shall come to you, and you, too, shall go free." "Will you keep your word?" "Aye. I, Te Atua Wera, am no liar." Guy nodded, quietly took off Ills coat and held out his left hand. "Strike," he said. Tho chief again smiled. "Thou art as cunning as thou art brave. I said the right hand." Guy let fall his left and extended his right arm. Te Atua Wera stopped back a pace, raised the cutlass and struck tho point of it into the ground. Then he bent forward and gravely rubbed noses with Guy. "Go,", be said, ""but come back no more." So Guy and the two sailors were allowed to return to Despard's lines unharmed. SHORT LIVED DOCTORS. Dtaeanea Which Are Most Deadly to the MeiHcnl I'rofeMNlon. The diseases which claim the most Victims among physi'cians relatively to all males are gout and diabetes, and there is a high relative mortality from diseases of the nrrvous system, circula tory system anij kidneys, says tho Sci entific American). From the ifature of his habits tho physician Is not subject to accidents, and, tlyjBgtt he Is brought into contact Vrinfectlon to a greater extent than other men, his preventive means are successful and his mortality from in fection Is very low. Freedom from pro longed muscular strains and high blood tension apparently saves him from arteriosclerosis, but suicide claims many and so do tho drug habits ac quired by the nervously exhausted. It has been said that three-fourths of French morphine users are physicians. The cause of tho physician's early death Is evidently tho excessive nerv ous expenditure, insufficient rest nnd defective nutrition, Inseparable from his calling, with Its broken and restrict ed sleep, Irregular honrs of work, rest and meals and worry when lives de pend upon his Judgment and the lack ot,a day of complete relaxation in each """week. The physician who sees his pa tients every day In the week, month after month, and cannot learn to forget them when he goes home merely burns the candle at both ends. He violates tie law observed by every animal, that there shall be short periods of moder ate exertion interrupted by longer peri ods of rest when repairs are made. It is not too much work as a rule, but scattered work, which prevents rest. Lon Speeches. Much merriment has been crused by the discovery that in the IOgyptlan ."Hook of the Dead" an ancient declared he had "not Inflicted long 4octures" on his hearers, but this Is curiously match ed by a plea for bis soul uttered by Hugh Grove (Loyalist) at his execution May 1(1, 1GG5 (Vol. 3. Thurloe's Col lections): "Good people. I was never guilty of much rhetorick, nor ever loved long speeches In- my life, tlierfore you cannot expect either of them at my "death. All I desire is your hearty prayers for my soul," etc. In view of the Egyptian discovery this seems a very close second for Eng- I land. London Notes and Queries. Onr Flrat Coina.

The Scene of a I'mnoua and Eventful Prnyer Mcettnur, The most famous prayer meeting ever convened in tills country was held In the summer of lSOU on the grounds of a farmer adjacent to Williams college, Willianistovvn, Mass., says Leslie's Weekly. It was held by five students. They were querying what they could do for the benefit of mankind. A thun derstorm occurred, and they took ref uge under n haystack and continued (he meeting. Seemingly the students a lone for the time being knew of the meeting. For years the place was un marked and the event uncommemorat cd. Hut those students originated tho foreign missionary movement in this country for the benefit of all lands and peoples. Subsequently Williams college acquired the property, named it Mis sion pari; and erected a monument commemorative of the great r -suit. It consists of a shaft of granite twelve feet In height, bearing a globe three feet in diameter, representing the world. The legend on the shaft Is, "The lilrthplace of American Foreign Mis-'ous." rnderneath are t! e names of live students who had a part In tho meeting Samuel J. Mills, James Hich n r Is. i'raucis L.

Life has exceptional dilliculties for the babies of Arabia, especially for those who are of sniiicieiitiy high rank to be brought up according to all the ancient customs of their race. A royal baby's first toilet there consists in winding a bamhrge about Its body aft er it has been carefully bathed and per I'r.med. If the child bo n girl, on the seventh day of her birth, holes, usually six In ni-rher. are pricked In her ears, and when she Is two months old heavy gold rings are attached to them, to be warn throughout her lifetime except during periods of mourning for relatives. On tho fortieth day the baby's head Is shaved, and the disposal of the hair is regarded as a very weighty matter. It must not be burned or carelessly thrown away, but buried, thrown Into the sea or h'.iden away. The fortieth day marks a turning point In the child's life. Heretofore It has only boon seen by few, but now it may lie seen by anybody and is regarded as fairly launched on the tide of existence. Several charms are attached to its body for protection ag'iiist the "evil eye" Everything the child uses is perfumed and covered at night with jasmine and before It Is used fumigated with amber and musk nnd sprinkled with altar of roses.

It makes the fruit conspicu ous to birds and other nninials, nnd thus secures the dispersion of the seed. If the fruit were of the same color as the leaves it might easily lie passed over. When (he fruit or seed is Incon spicuous, through either the wnnt of color or the small size, dispersal Is ef fected without tho aid of animals, as in the case of the dandelion, whoso seed Is carried about by the wind, or of the balsam, the seed of which Is eject ed by a sort of spring. The colored fruits, such as the grape and the cher ry, are furnished with succulent coats, which provide food to birds, who iu their impatience often swallow the seeds or stones, which may pass through tlm animal's body without change. Seeds may thus be conveyed not only for considerable distances on land, but also from eontlmmts to ocean lc islands, which may iu this way ac quire a new vegetation. Some London Cluhft. London has many curious clubs, such us tho Utopians, whose motto is "Serve God and le merry," and tho Froth r.hnvers, whose members ore said to be bound to curse and swear every time they outer the club. There nro al so many unregistered clubs which have no headquarters and take out no licenses, and there nre also many clubs whose members are manifestly drawn together by some common bond of sym pathy. Among these the London Dally Impress enumerates the following: The l!oz club (admirers of Charles Dickens). The '03 club (amicability and the arts). The Itoynlists (guillotines and dia monds). The Castaways' club (resigned naval olhcers). 'the Lost Legion (for empire pio neers). The Wny of Madeira. The people of Madeira nre as harm less ns their country. The stranger meets with no snakes and need not fear mosquitoes; neither has be to take any precautions against being molested In the most out of the way parts. Everywhere civility, politeness and pleasant faces will greet him. The prices asked are grotesque, often five times what will be finally accept ed. Some find the absence of fixed p.lces abroul a great nuisance, but the bargaining In Madeira Is so good humored and ccn bo made so amusing that' the change of custom In this re spect is rather refreshing.

CUT DOWN DI-ATIl HARVEST Advice to Nurses, Attendants and Others In the Sick Room. "Wipe out typhoid by killing the germs contained In the discharges of tho patient before they leave the sick room to lay other fellow beings low with this disease." Such are the In structions that Health Commissioner Samuel G. Dixon gives In his new cir cular on typhoid fever addressed to nurses and attendants In charge of persons Buffering from this Infectious malady. "I want to send that message ring ing through the whole statfl," said Health Commissioner. Dixon the other day. "I want to get every local Hoard of Health to see that In every home where there is a person 111 with ty phoid fever, the physician, the nurse 01 attendant shall be Impressed with the duty of letting no infection from their patient be the cause of giving the disease to another, and the way to do this first of all is to kill the germs of the disease that comes from the pa tient before these germs leave the sick room. I am determined that the ap palling harvest that typhoid Is reaping In Pennsylvania shall be cut down. It can be done It must be done. If, be ginning today, the nurse or attendant In charge of a typhoid fever case will see to it that the discharges from the patient are thoroughly disinfected be fore they are carried out of the room In which tho typhoid victim is confined we can almost wipe out typhoid In a year's time. I realize that this Is a big "if," yet it Is one of the simplest ways in the world to blot out a dis ease that Is appallingy epidemic throughout the whole state. If only each nnd every person to whom this message is directed will hear It and heed It." In his typhoid circular Health Com missioner Dixon sets forth simple methods of killing the typhoid germs before they are carried out of the sick room. Secure any of the following disinfect ants: Kreolin, Lysol, Trl-Kresol. Chlo rinated Einie (chloride of lime or bleaching powder), or a 40 per cent, so lution of Formaldehyde, which Is pre ferred. Make up dlsinTectant solutions from the above by adding three teaspoonfuis of Kreolin, Lysol or Trl-Kresol or eight teaspoonfuls of the 40 per cent, solu tion of Formaldehyde to a pint of wa ter, or one-half pound of Chlorinated Lime to one gallon of water. Keep constantly in the bed-pan, urinal, chamber or commode or vessel Intended to receive the discharges from tho bowels or bladder, a moderate quantity of the disinfectant solution selected, and after receiving the dis ehsrges add a quantity to equal the amount of the discharges. Cover and remove the vessel and al low the contorts to stand for one hour before emptying the same. Never empty tho discharges upon the surface of the ground, or Into a stream, even though disinfected. If thn discharges are emptied into a water closet, or privy they must be thoroughly disinfected first. They must never he hurled until nfter being thor oughly disinfected, anil then rever less than one foot deep nor within one hun dred feet of a well or water course. If e privy well is used, empty three pallons of any of the disinfectant so lutions into It daily. Keep constantly on hand a basin or other vessel containing one of the so lutions mentioned for the purpose of washing your hands. Wash your hands In the solution Immediately after handling the patient, the discharges, or any of the body clothing. Keep constantly In a convenient place a tub or other proper vessel con taining a sufficient quantity of one of the disinfectant solutions in which to soak all of the patient's bed and body clothing. (If Chlorinated Lime is used for this purpose, one-half pound should be di luted with eight gallons of water.) Place all such clothing In this vessel Immediately upon its removal from tho bed or body of the patient, leaving it In the disinfectant solution for at least three hours, after which It should be boiled thoroughly for at least one hour. Do not permit the use by others of drinking vessels or eating utensils used by the patient, until boiled for at least one hour. Do not eat or permit others to eat scraps or remnants of food left by the patient. Burn all such material at once. Add a disinfectant solution to all Water that has been used for bathing the patient, and dispose of It In the same manner as the body discharges. Do not throw this water on the sur face of the ground. Thoroughly disinfect all discharges from the mouth and nose. If received in vessels treat as all Ither discharges. If received In handkerchiefs treat as bed clothing, or If received In old linen burn the same at once. Thoroughly screen the room to ex clude all files and mosquitoes. Destroy ail insects in the room. Exclude domestic nnimals. Do not kiss the patient. Do not encourago visitors lo the sick room. Aside front their disturbing Influence on the pat lint they may through care lessness contrtet the disease. Hoil all water used for domestic pur poses. Follow theRe rules during the entire Illness, do not relax them during con valescence, but continue until entire recovery, as the specific germ of ty phoid may exist in the stools or urine of typhoid patients for at least four weeks after the disappearance of the fever. IJpon the termination of the case Wrinkle all carpets, rugs or washable bedding freely whh a 40 per cent solu tion of Foriimhl' h.vile. Ttoll up and allow to remain for twenty-four hours, then expose to fresh nir und sunlight for twenty-four hours. The room should lie thorouqhly dis infected after tho recovery of tho patient.
