Arbeiter Serein Hall.

Ofall the people who possess the art of I'M
alleged enjoyment the Germans stand at the
head. This was again proven at the celebra
ton of Christmas last night, at the hall of the
abOvc-named society. Two comic plays, which,
though played 10y amateurs, went smoothly
over the stage and seemed to increase the
happy eXpectant feelings of all present. The
play over, a ball was lnaugurated, ending neat
around gigantic Christmas tree which was
wheeled in the centre of the hall and around
which, two couples ut ii time, they danced, and
then received their respective presents. Every
thing passed OFF pleasantly and reflects credit
on the gentlemen who had the management of
the affair."

ministration of President Jackson may
be given. The original fgure-head of
the Constitution was bust of Hercules
This was shot away in the war in the
Mediterranean and it's place supplied by
a carved billet-head. In 1884 while the
frigate was lying at the Charlestown
navy-yard, Commodore Elliott had this
billet-head removed. and substituted for
it bust of Gen. Jackson. This sub
stitution was denounced by the OPP
position as q partisan outrage, Elliott
was assailed in newspapers, pamphlets,
and speeches, and threatened in anony-
nous letters with violence if he did not
remove the effigy. He was deaf to all
complaints, and finally, one stormy
night in July, 1884, daring young man
from this city went out to the ship in a
skiff, sawed off the head of the image,
and carried it to Boston. All efforts to
discover the perpetrator of this outrage
on a government vessel were fruitless,
and the excitement finally died away.
One of the circulars posted about the
streets of Boston when Jackson's image
was substituted as a fgure-head was
headed, "Freemen Awake /! or the Con-
stitution Will Sink !" It appealed to
the most excitable passion and people to
''save the ship" and asked citizens to
assemble in Faneuil Hall to take action
against the outrage.

From the New York Times.l
old IRONSIDES.

The famous old frigate Constitution
was formally put out of commission at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard yesterday when
her ensign was hauled down in the
presence of all the officers of the yard.
She now takes her place in what is called
"Rotten Row" with the Susquehanna
and Ticonderoga, and unless broken up
and sold for relics, will be allowed to fall
gradually to pieces. The history of the
old frigate may be appropriately recalled
now that the final scene in her career
has been witnessed. The Constitution,
or g Old Ironsides," as she was familiar
ly called, was one of six frigates the
keels of which were laid in 1894. She
was the third vessel built for the
United States Navy after the adoption of
the Constitution, the United States be-
ing the first and the Constellation Sec
ond The Constitution was built at
Harris ship-yard in Boston, which was
situated where Constitution Wharf now
is, at cost of 1902, 718. She was made
very strong, her frame being of live oak,
and her planks bent on without steam
as it was believed that the steaming pro-
cess weakened and softened the wood.
Her tonnage was 1886. She was launched
on the Dist of October, 1897, in the
presence of a great gathering of people.
1t was because she was so staunch ship
that the name of 4" Ironsides . was given
her, and her subsequent service in the
war of 1872 fully entitled her to the
name. She was the most famous ship
In our navy, and has been made the
theme of story and of song. She
started on her first cruise in July, 1898,
under command of Capt. James Nichol-
son, but she did not come into active
service until 1904, when she was the
flagship of Commodore Preble in the
war between this country and the Bar
barry powers On the 10Th of August the
bombardment of Tripoh was renewed
for the third time, and the Constitution
made her first historical record. She
ran In to within short distance of the
castle and batteries, and poured in de-
structive discharges of round and grape
shot. She silenced the guns of the castle
and spread destruction among the gun
boats of the enemy. The squadron fin
ally withdrew after doing great damage
to the town. After this exploit the Con-
stitution was engaged In cruising until

covered his blunder, and that his soil
and location were we'll adapted to graz

T. d. CURTIS says, in the Rural New
Yorker: "It is surprising to those not
acquainted with the fact to see how
much crude sulphur pigs will eat when
fattening. It should be given to them
every few days; or, what is better yet,
be kept in the pens where they can help
themselves to it. When pigs are fed a
large amount of hearty food, their stom-
achs become disordered and they need
sulphur and charcoal to neutralize the
acidity and to correct the condition of
their stomachs. When it is given to
them plentifully they will eat better,
digest more and are freer from bowel
disorders. These correctives help to
keep the blood pure and the skin free
from affections. When hogs have these
correctives their flesh must be healthier.
We have had hundreds of hogs and
never case of cholera, which we at
tribute to the healthful effects of plenty
of charcoal and sulphur, together with
succulent food. A long-continued corn
diet will invariably produce fever and
more or less inflammation of the stom-
ach and bowels

A Smile of Satisfaction

This from the Cleveland (Ohio) Pen
ny Press carries its own suggestions:
Recently meeting Mr.. FL. G. Keffer,
treasurer of the Cleveland Herald, our
representative inquired of that gentle
man, after stating his mission, if he per-
sonally knew anything about the Great
German Remedy, ST. Jacobs Oil. A
mile played across Mr.. Refers express
i've face and his eyes twinkled merrily
as he replied in the affirmative, 1 will
not refuse to state my experience with
it, and you may use it as you think best.
Four years ago l sprained one of my
ankles, an accident which, as you are
aware, entails much suffering and
sometimes leaves the limb in condi-
ton to remind one frequently of the old
hurt. Unfortunately this result ensued.
Whenever the weather became damp or
my system absorbed the slightest cold
my ankles panied me. This went on at
intervals for over three years, and could
not obtain relief Last winter applied
the st. Jacobs Oil and it completely
cured me. have not since felt return

THE HOME DOCTOR.
DANDRUFF.

A complete cure for dandruff is said
to be effected by washing with solution
of borax, once each tenth day, and using
bay rum each alternate day. At first
use it every day.
COFFEE.
Coffee, according to DR.. Leven, by
producing an8mia of the stomach, re-
tards digestion, and ultimately causes
habitual increased congestion of the
stomach or dyspepsia.
BAKED SOUP FOR INvALIDs
Take a pound of juicy steak, from
which all the fat has been removed; cut
it up in pieces of about an inch square,
salt and pepper it slightly; take stone
jar, to hold two pints; pour into it pint
and a half of cold water. teaspoonful
of whole rice; cover the jar with a sau-
Ger, and let it bake slowly fer four hours;
remove any fat present.
LIGHT IN BEDROOMS.
The common practice of having night
lights in the bedrooms of children of
well-to-do parents is deprecated by DR..
Robert FL. Blackwell. He says that it
has the most injurious effect upon the
nervous system of young children.
"Instead of the perfect rest the optic
nerves ought to have, and which nature
provides for by the darkness of the
night, these nerves are perpetually
stimulated, and, of course, the brain and
the rest of the nervous system suffers.
Children thus brought up are excessively
tlmld for years after on going into the
dark.
PHTHISIS.
AS simple and effectual method of
allaying cough in phthisis DR.. Lam
douzy, in LIE Progress Medical, recon-
mends the hypodermic injection of a
syringeful of distilled water, to which
few drops of the hydrolat of cherry
laurel had been added, the skin being
perforated over the spot which appears
to be the centre Of the disturbing in
fuence. The cherry-water is simply a
disguise. The rationale of the treat
ment is that the nerve endings being
stimulated, the resulting irritation is
carried to the nerve centres, which are
excited in different way, and the cough
thus ceases.
WARM AND COLD BATHS.
The physiological effects of warm and
cOlQ DatnS are mus noted Dy writer In
an English medical journal: Warm
baths produce an effect upon the skin
directly contrary to that which is brought
about by cold water. The cutaneous
vessels dilate Immediately under the in
huence of the heat, and, although the
dilation is followed by contraction, this
contraction is seldom excessive, and the
ultimate result of warm bath is to in
crease the cutaneous circulation. The
pulse and respiration are both quickened
in the cold bath. The warm bath in
creases the temperature of the body,
and, by lessening the necessity for the
internal production of heat, it decreases
the call which is made upon certain of
the vital processes, and enables life to
be sustained with less expenditure of
force. While cold bath causes a GER
tain stiffness and fatigue. The final eff
feet of both hot and cold baths, if their
temperature be moderate, is the same,
the difference being, to use the words of
Braun, that "cold refresnes by stimu-
lating the functions, heat by physically
facilitating them, and in this lies the i'm.
portant differences between the cold
water system and the thermal mode OF
treatment -

A Judges Charge With Variations.
(From Harper's Magazine.

FROM darper'S Magazine
The following comes from Georgia,
and it's accuracy is vouched for by the
stenOgrapher who took it down:
Judge was noted for the way he
got mixed in his charges to the jury. On
one occasion a case was tried before him
the points of which may be briefly stated
thus: Smith brought suit against Jones
upon a promissory note given for a
horse. Jones' defense was failure of
consideration, he averring that at the
time of the purchase the horse had the
CHAMBERS, of which he died, and That
Smith knew it. Smith replied that the
horse did not have the CHAMBERS, but the
distemper, and that Jones knew it when
he bought.
The judge charged the jury: "Gen-
tlemen of the jury, pay attention to the
charge of the court. You have already
made one mis-trial of this case, because
you did not pay attention to the charge
of the court, and don't want you to do
it again. [ intend to make it so clear to
you this time that you cannot possibly
make any mistake. This salt is upon a
hope you understand that. Now, if you
find that at the time of the sale Smith
had the CHAMBERS, and Jones knew it,
Jones cannot recover. That is clear,
gentlemen. 1 will state it again. If you
find that at the time of the sale Jones
had the distemper and Smith knew it,
then Smith cannot possibly recover.
But, gentlemen, I will state it third
time so that you cannot possibly make
mistake. IT at the time of the sale,
Smith bad the CHAMBERS, and Jones had
the distemper, and the horse knew it,
then neither Smith, Jones, nor the horse
can recover. Let the record be given to
the jury"

NIvERNAISE SOUP.
Take four turnips, cut them into the

stove fire, until the vegetables are thor
oughly done, taking care to skim off the
butter as it rises to the surface. Ten
minutes before dinner time throw into
the soup, while boiling, some Brussels
sprouts that have been previously par
boiled, and just before sending the soup
to the table, add to it about two or three
dozen small quenelles of pheasant.
