Tho following is a coto-i densation of the old man’s story*. . “On Jane 8, 1 left niy home, in Nassau fer a trip to Courtney Mey after turtles, taking Along a week’s provisions. \Yb had just got off the Bahama banka when a calm, which lasted two days, settled down on us aiid we drifted into the Golf stream which carried ttt along rapidly. Our anchor, cable Udbd whs only ten fathoms long, dnd ftfc to back to the banka but cotild not do it. Tho third day a gale struck us. I’ve lived all my life on tho salt water but I never saw such a sea as thore Was in that gulf rtream. I've seen moro there ih the last wock than my grandfather saw in all his life, The wavos rolled twice as high as our mast* We gave up all hope, but by the powfcr of God and a good understanding we kept the boat from sinking. Af te the gale broke I headed the boat west southwest, thinking I’d striko tho Florida coast sotiie where. I thought we were near St. Augustine, and I knew our pro visions would not last until we struck land, although from tho day we weie blown off the Bahama banks we limited our foqd to two crackers a day, and finally to one a day. But four days ago Ben ate tho last crumb. We had plenty of water, though, and that kept us from getting so hungYy. Wo sight edjand last night about 6 o’clock. I praised the Lord for lotting me soo the land once more. I>ut I was afraid that we would be killed bylndians or wild beasts. I didn’t sleep any last nfght for thinking of them. We sailed on until about midnight, guided by two lights on the shore. [The lights were at the house rf fe/uge and “Hassier’s ftaven.’'] We anchored before the first one. It WffS the good Lord th^,t oydefed it; he brought u's safe out of that,wild* rate sea, and to the veiy door of the good keeper of your gqvernmenl’s bouse. He Has done everything in the , world for us. We would havo drowned or died of starvation but for him. As long as God lets me live I’ll pray to him." There is but little more to be told, Hr, Hopkjns gave the men enough provisions to last .them six weeks,And Sunday, morning they started south.

In tho City of Mexico the income from the taxation .,of liquors and tho license on saloons is very large ihdeed. , Every liquor and pulque shop pays a monthly license. Pul , qu« is the common or choap bever age of the hot country. Correspond ing to the, malt beer of the United States. It is “purely vegetable," being extracted from thd maguey plant, a species of the cactus. In addition to thjo license t]be fees on saloons, an octrql, or entry tax, is collected on, all puiquo Coming within the city limits. For.Ib© fis cal year just, ended tJTr*. g a fa f ax amounted to the sum qf $560,000, or more than $1,500 a day, t is from, the pulque ^Lnne—rtne beer of Mexico—which,retailed at 1 cent for an osjdRnaigr glass, or three cents for a large schooner. Add to thiqthe taxeft on. alcobfdio, bever ages, and also, the license fees paid by each saloqn, of which there ar.e thousands, and some idea may be formed of what this city realizes annually from the liquor traffic.

Tho Philadelphia Times WArnh tho sbutU agiilnst tlio purohaso of tho-plants of northern mills and factories .that are offered for sale at aparentty reasonable prices. It says that theso plants are tlio most costly that could bo bouglii, for the reason that they aro rattle-trap concern*. , , Tho Times goes on to 6hy that there is not a cotton or a woolen plant for sale any where in tho north * that is worth transporting to the. south. Owing to their old and im¬ perfect machinery there aro hun¬ dreds of cotton and wo.olon mills at tho north that cannot bo run profit¬ ably thcro. t. Perhaps this is what tho Chaitat nooga Timos noaflt when . it oai<V tho other day, to tho surpriso (f tho. Now York Herald, that tho south didn’t want northern cotton mills. If so, tho Times was emin¬ ently correct. Tho south wants no rattle-trap concerns dumped down in tho midst of her industrial plants. ... The Philadelphia Times says that one half of tho omallor cotton and wool on mills of tho north aro languishing or loosing money, or. are idle 3olely boqauso tho machinv ory, they havo is cut of dale and en¬ tirely unequalled to competition with the greatly, improved machin¬ ery of tho present day.

This is certainly true of the iron plants and this fact gives them a.great ad¬ vantage over tho majority of tho iron fornaces of the north. Mcanwhilo, the. advico of tho. Times is excellent.

Use it frequently, and let it bo ot a temperature suited to each indi vidual case. If these suggestions were acted upon, and a more liber¬ al t?8n of the remedies at hand em¬ ployed, tho lives of many children would bo saved.” • • i . On,o physician .present at tho meeting in question said that in his. praotico he tenches families to keep their babies cool, and they do it in this way: Just as soon as they be* gin to feel tho effects of heat, faces, rod and lioad tofsingabout, crying,, etc., instead of giving them extra food of some kind, part of their clothing; if it . is excessively hot they take moro off. The children, aro then wiped down with tepid water end allowed to lie on the floor naked, if sufficiently hot, and there they may remain all day. Toward evening when the woather boeomes cosier,their clothes put on.' With this lino of treatment tho children had no diarrhoea, indiges- tion or any trouble during the sum-* mer.
