HOW HULL SPLIT HIS TIGHTS.

An Old Story ofthe Fight Between the Con-
stitution and the Guerrero.
From the New York World.
The late Ogden Hoffman, who was
midshipman with him. used to tell an old
story of the engagement between cold
Ironsides" and the Guerrero. He said
that as the ships drew near to each other an
officer came in haste to Hull to ask for Or
ders to fire. "Not yet" was the quiet re-
Spouse. As they came still nearer and the
British vessel poured in her fire, the first
lieutenant of the constitution came on the
poop and begged permission to return the
broadside, saying that the men could not
be restrained much longer. Not yet, was
the reply. Still nearer the British
ship came, and the American
prisoners who we've in the cock
pit of the Guerrero afterwards said that they
began to believe that their own countrymen
were afraid to measure their strength with
the enemy, and this thought gave them
more pail than the wounds which some of
them were suffering from. In a moment
the Guerrero gallantly came forward, show
ing her FURNISHED sides, and as the swell
carried her very close to the very muzz!es
of "Old Ironsides," Captain Hull was then
Quito fat and dressed in full tights. bent
himself twice to the deck, and with every
muscle and vein throbbing with excitement,
shouted out: ''Now boys, pour it into
them" That broadside settled their OPP
ponents, and when the smoke cleared away
their commanders tights were to SO seen
split from waistband to heel. Hull, moth
ing disconnected, gave orders with perfect
GOODNESS, and only changed his tights when
the British commanders sword was gwen

Cold Feet and Restlessness

The association bstween cold feet and
sleeplessness is much closer than is COM
monty imagined. Persons with cold feet
rarely sleep well, especially women; yet
the number of persons troubled is very con-
siderable. This is the plan to adopt with
cold feet: They should be dipped in water
for brief period. Often just to imrnerse
them aud no more is sufficient; and then
they should be rubbed with a pair Of hair
flesh gloves Or rough Turkish towel, till
they glow; Immediately after getting into
bed. After this Il hot water bottle will be
successful in maintaining the temperature
of the feet, though without this prelim;n-
airy it is impotent to attempt to do so. Dis
agreeable as the plan may at srst appear, it
is efficient, and those who have once fairly
tried it continue it, and fiad that they have
put an end to bad nights and cold feet.
"Pills, potions, lozenges, nightcaps" and all
narcotics fail to enable the sufferer to WOO
sleep successfully; get rid of the cold feet
and the sleep will come of itself.

Failure in Enormous Ships.

From the London Truth.
1t is to be feared that the Infexible,
which cost about ss0O, 600 and took nearly
eight years to get ahoat, will prove failure.
She is terribly unwieldly, by no means
swift, and draws two feet more water than
had been calculated. The electric light,
which it cost nearly e5, 900 to fit all through
the ship, is not success. And it is now
doleful to learn that the officials at Malta
dock-yard have been busted in
preparing dock for the re-
ception Of the monster. In old tunes
one did not hear of new vessels going into
dock at the expiration Of two days voyage.
The questionable result of the Infexible
experiment proves the justice Of the doubts
expressed recently of the policy of build
ing any more Of these enormous ships. At
all events, they do not seem to have
answered SO far. Surely it
would be in all respects bet
ter to possess fleet of very swift,
strongly armed, and comparatively small
cruisers.

what Foreigner Says OF the United
States,

Professor r. P. Spice, president Of the
society Of engineers of London. and very
intelligent and practical Englishman, who
has been travelling over the United States,
looking at things with practical eye, re-
turned to New York q few days ago and
was visited by reporter, who asked his
opinions on great many subjects. Some
Of his views are interesting. Chicago"
he says, "its wonderful in its trade, but
seems to bea city of gambling and corners.
Of the Mormons and their capital he says:
II wonder how they get immigrants as they
do; but I think their faith will kill itself
and be crushed out by the younger genera
ton. The sanitary arrangements are really
abominable, although every thing is extern
ally clean, and in few years the city will
become hot-bed of fevers." At San Fran-
cisco his attention was called to 1.-THE shock
ingly bad pavements Of all the cities here,
beginning at New York. It is not merely
dirt, but the character Of the paving. In
London we used wood successfully,
because it is laid in concrete; but in
Chicago they are laying wood in
and American agriculture, he says: "We
have had five had seasons in England, and
the sixth or last was also made unfavorable
by the rain. There is no excessive damp
ness here, while in England the weather
has baff1ed agriculture. I found the cost
of sending busheI of wheat from St.
Louis twenty cents, and seventeen cents
from Chicago. If the English farmer paid
only pound year rent he could not COM
pete with American farming. Well to- do
people in England regard coming to Amer
lea as they do transportation; but if they
don't DO this there is nothing left but starry
alton" His views on the subject of cleo
trio light are novel: ''The more the cleo
trio light ia improved the more gas proper
ty will thrive. The electric light is not to
be depended on and is inapplicable to most
interiors and streets. 1t can be used for
special outsides or insides, as squares, or
large rooms like the composing-room Of the
London Times. These are exceptional nses
which will only increase the use OF gas.
People won't go from very light squares OF
other places into dark or feebly- Lighted
streets; and therefore the number and force
of jets must be increased"

Snakes as Life Destro1ers.

The loss of life in India due to the raw
ages of venomous snakes is almost incredi-
BILE. Yet Consumption, which is as willy
and fatal as the deadliest Indian reptile. is
winding its coils around thousands OF peo-
pie, while the victims are unconscious OF its
presence. DR.. r. V. Pierce's "Golden
Medical Discovery" must be used to cleanse
the blood of the scrofulous Impurities, for
tubercular consumption is only form OF
scrofulous disease. Golden Medical Dis
covery" is sovereign remedy for all forms
of scrofulous disease, or king's-evil, such
as tumors, white swellings, fever sores,
scrofulous sore eyes, as well as for other
blood and skin diseases. By druggists.
Mabel Morley was compelled to attempt
her usual daily feat of walking tight rope
to the pole of a circus tent at Athens, Tex

illness. She fell and was killed.

Never forget to lock up the pantry
Some boys have probably turned cat first
class house-breakers, all on account Of this
judicious treatment in early childhood.
Be gentle and courteous before company;
but if you have a temper, let your children
have taste of it as often as convenient. A
mother should never practice deception
upon her brood.
Talk slightingly of your husband to your
boys and girls. This will make them re-
spect their father.
Make promises to your children, and
neglect to keep them. This will lead your
children not to place too much reliance
upon your word, and shield them from
many disappointments.
Tell your child he should not do thing,
and then let him tease you into giving youi
consent. This will teach him what to do
on subsequent occasions.
Tel your children they are the worst you
ever saw, and they will no doubt endeavor
to merit your appr eciation.

Sons Of the Prince Of Wales.

Speculation is made in London as TO the
future destination of the Prince of Wales's
sons after their return to England. While
nothing very definite appears yet to be act
ually known, it is confidently affirmed that
Prince Albert Edward will in time join the
military school at Sandhurst, and that
Prince George will remain in the navy,
Prince George is much attached to sea-
faring life, and is said to be better qualified
for it by physique than Prince Albert Ed
ward. The father Of these young men was
recently entertained at luncheon by the
Baron Ferdinand Rothschild, covers being
laid for % representatives of the fashion
able London world. It is noted in this con-
nection that the recent Rothschild loss OF
s3 1000, 900 apparently does not quench the
hospitable instincts Of the Londen branch
of the house.

ovenest or September nights, TO 40 all due
honors to its festivities. Rosa arrived rath-
er late-impatient as she was to view the in
teinal arrangements Of the stately old stone
mansion, she would sooner have cut off her
right hand than been unfashionably early.
She was dressed in the white grenadine,
with wreath of pink blossoms encirciing
her jetty hair, aud had the agreeable con-
seriousness that she was becomingiy at
tired, and looked very we'll. Harry Leslie
met her at the door of the already thronged
drawing room, and offered her his arm to
conduct her to the host and hostess.
Major Taliaferro, a tine-looking, digni-
fed, elderly gentleman Of the old school,
stood at the head of the room. with his wife
beside him-a stately lady in rusting white
brocade, and such diamonds as almost daz-
zled Rosa's eyes with their blaze. As she
inclined her head to them the major took
her hand kindly.
"Miss Vernon, allow me to introduce you
to my niece, Miss Markham"
Yes, it was Mabel Markham, dressed in
white tulle, with pearls and simple white
roses in her golden curls of hair: and Bob
stood beside her, holding her bouquet with
beauty.
Rosa looked so bewildered that her
brother burst ont laughing.
II thought Miss Markham was the
school-teacher!" stammered Rosa, scarcely
knowing what she was saying In her con-
fusion.
You were perfectly correct in your sur
misses, Miss Vernon" answered Mabel,
quietly; nor was I ashamed of my voca-
ton. But l was only temporarily occupy
ing the position in behalf of my school
friend Miss Claremont, whose illness in
capacitated her from at once taking her
post. am happy to say now that she is
well enough to relieve me from my labor Of
love-"
fresh group of arrivals were now an
nounced, and Rosa stepped aside. In the
same instant, Mrs. Wylies laughing eyes
met hers.
$50 you have been introduced to Miss
Markham, after all?" she said, with spice
of playful malice in her tone. IF you
would only have allowed me to explain to
you last week that Major Taliaferros neice
was officiating in her friends place, how
much embarrassment it would have saved
US all! You were shockirgly rude, my dear
Rosa, but think Mabel has forgiven you,
for Boh's sake. Rosa, surely you are not
| crying!"
But Rosa was crying-the hitterest tears
of modification that she had ever shed
They were soon over, however-ap April

but the tears did our little Rosa good.
She had received a much needed lesson.

The Cause OF the Excellence of Our t,rotters,
From The London Field.

From The London Field.
The excellence of trotters descended from
Messenger, the sire to whom almost all the
American trotters trace their pedigree, is
sometimes attributed to the fact that this
famous sire had in hima strong cross of
Barb, as distinguished from Arab blood.
The barley Arabian and the Gedolphin
Arabian-whose blood appears in all the
best English racehorses of the last century
were in reality Barbs, and not Arabians:
they came from Barbary and Africa, and
not from Arabia and Asia. Barbary is
rough, stony, hilly, interseoted with ravines
and covered in many places with prickly
bushes The districts of Asia in which the
purest Arab horses are bred present, on
the other hand, fiat or slightly undulating
surfaces, with scanty Vegetation, while for
the most part they are carpeted with thick
layers of sand. In Africa the horse being
unable to gallop with salty, accustomed
himself to the trot, being the
safest and easiest gait under the cir
cumstances, and the adoption
of this action forces him to bend the knee
and develop the muscles which are thus
brought into play. In other words, Barb
horses trot, while Arabian horses gallop,
because nature imposes upon each the nes-
csssity of adapting their action to the ground
in the midst of which they are seVerally
born
