He Succeeded Too We'll.

Now" said the bride, Henry, | want You

exactly as if | were an old married woman.
SO, dearest, do not think me cold and unlov-
ing If treat YOU very practically when there

Il d au't believe cau pass for an old mar
ried man. am So fond OF YOU thar ! am

NO you mustn't. Its easy enough. And
irsist thar you behave just like all old mar
ried men do. DO you hear
We'll. darling, I'll try, but know | will
not succeed"
The first evening of their arrival the bride
retired to hsr chamber and the groom fell in
with poker party, with whom he sat playing
cards until O'Clock in the morning. His
wife spent the weary hours weeping At last
he turned up and met his grief-stricken bride
with the hilarious question:
well, amt | doing the old married man
like daisv?"
She never referred to the subject again and
everybody knew after that that they had just
been married. San Francisco Chronicle.

The Falls of Earn, a ship of unusual size
and rig, is lying at a Brooklyn pier just south
of the Wall street ferry. She is 33l feet
long over all. Al feet wide. and about SO feet
deep. She Is a sqnare-rigged ship, and has
four masts. with yards crossed on all of them
There are royal yards the foremost and
spankprs and sk> sails on the nam and mz-
zen, which are OF equal height, and the aft.
The masts are neither As lofty nor as slender
rs the masts of an American clipper, but the
wards, which are made of iron up to the top
mastheads, sre long and well proportional
There are no royal or skysai poles to the
masts, the great trucks setting down snug
over the eyes of the rigging. This, with the
length Of the wards and their low hoist, gives
the rig an appearance that is painful to any
one who has an eye for graceful proportions
She carries double topsails and double top
gallant sails on all four masts. Her lower
masts and topmasts are made of iron. and her
hull is iron also. Her shrouds are all set up
with screws instead OF rope lanyards. some
thing which would have been thought fatal
to the masts in a seoway a few wears ago be-
cause of the lack of give in the rigging.
Her model is very much like that of a cargo
steamer, but by a judicious use of ballast and
proper stowage of the cargo she is found TO
be plenty stiff enough to carry on in bad
weather. The lightness Of her iron masts and
spars favors her greatly in this respect The
proportion OF length to breadth in the best
American clippers was about five 10 one, and
the de th was about half the breadth.

ting up anchor, hoisting sails, pumping ship,
and handling tie Gorge. The wheel on the
poop deck is unprotected bv a house. The
forecastle is on deck, and is large enough to
accommodate thirty-siX seamen. She carries

The Growth of Berlin.

According to table published in the
annual report of 1884 of the Estate
Agents Association of Berlin, the
growth of the German capital during
the past twenty-four years has been re-
markable, and is not equalled by that
of any other European city. Indeed.
there are but few, if any. cities of the
New World able TO show a similar
record. On December 81, 1860, Berlin
had a population of 1913, 400 souls; at
the end of 1884 it had risen to 1852.
065, increase $50 per cent The num-
Der of sites covered by buildings on Oc-
tober 1, 1860. was 9.462: at the CORE
spending date in 1884, 1910; increase
100 per cent. The number of tenements
let on December 81, 1860. was 9S, 364;
at the end of 1880 (the figures of 1884
not being yet available) 265, 1873; in
crease in twenty years. nearly 200 per
cent. The insured value of the build
ings of Berlin was on December 81.
1860. f24, 435. 900; on December 81 of
last year, clio, $50. 900: increase, close

PNEUMONIA
What the Disease is, and How 1t should be
Treated.


Treated.
Pneumonia is Inflammation of the
lungs. When the inflammation is on
the lining of the chest, it is pleurisy. The
two may be combined. Pneumonia is
dangerous disease, and requires
prompt action. 1t is preceded BY a
chill, from which it is difficult some
times to restore the natural heat This
chill is followed by a high fever, in
which the heart beats rapidly.
Chills NAV come from other causes
than pneumonia, but unless sure of the
cause and sure that it is not dangerous,
il is safe TO suspect coming pneumo-
MIA, and to send at once for a physi-
clan. On no account attempt to man.
age the case without one The disease
is too serious TO warrant such an at
tempt. Until he arrives, do what YOU
can to equalize the circulation and tenn
perature. Keep in bed between
wooden blankets or sheets, in
crease temperature of the room.
apply TO the affected parts old
soft cotton (not linen) cloths wet
one-hah of a teasponful of mustard to
q quart of water, and to sthis apply
heat from tins or bottles of hot water
or hot bricks. Rubber water bags are
best; apply heat i'm the same WAY to the
feet. Do not increase the quantity of
mustard. The object is to excite action
in the skin, but to avoid an irritation
that would hinder or destroy action.
As these cool. replace them at once
with others, not allowing the tempera-
ture to reduce at all. On no account
must the patient get out of bed.
For medicine give aconite four glob-
ules, every half hour; this is homeo-
pathic. When the Precipitation returns
and the patient can sleep, let him sleep;
continue the heat for time, and when
it is reduced let it be done with great
care. If the patient needs food, let
it be of plain, simple kind. Avoid
cold drinks until the natural condition
of the skin is restored.-B. Y. French

practicing target-shooting. One of the
members was tod to- shoot at the door
of a deserted barn. He did so, but

was very angry and told the young man
how bad it would be, in case the enemy
were shooting from behind the door,
that none of them would be hit. 'Yes.

were coming around the corner of the
barn catch fits" replied this Texas
