THE HuBBlTE AND HIS SON.

sHow big, papa. 10 sullivan.
That people call him Rreatf
Is he as big as mas mamma
And can he shy o platter
10. no, my son, about as big,
Perhaps, as Paddy Ryan;
His skill it is that makes him great
When with him gloves you try on"
sajs skill so great? know his name
Is famed In Boston circles,
And that his dukes when clad with mitts
Resemble shells of turkles.
But can he knock one silly, pa,
This hero of our Hub,
Or are the stories that l read
sensational flubdubY
ssThey're true, my son; he's Boston's pride,
Fame clusters round his name;
A glory almost deified
Because, you know, he's game.
We can not all be Sullivans,
Nor with him ever cope,
Nor pose as Ajax in the show,
But where there's sand there's SOAP"
But, pa, IL to Harvard went,
Or even unto Yale,
Could not hope to learn to spar
And make the people quailr'
20. yes, my son. perhaps you might,
But better learn to pitch
Good pitchers snatch the Whynese
From the baldest-headed Which.

A MONSTER VESSEL.
Design Of Steamship Which Is to Croi
the Atlantic In Eighty Hours.

Design Of Steamship Which Is to Cross
the Atlantic In Eighty Hours.
And now comes Prof. R. H. Thurston
with a paper suggesting that ship
can be built that will cross the Atlantic
Ocean in little less than three and a
half days. the average speed of the new
ship being forty-seven miles per hour.
The leviathan suggested by Prof.
Thurston as the ship to cross in eighty
hours, he makes 300 feet long, 80 feet
beam, of rs feet draught and $4,000
tons burden. To make the speed OF
the Oregon, such vessel, under rule
of naval architecture, would require
50, 900 horse power, as against $4,000
in the smaller steamer. The law is
that to double that speed, or raise it to
40 knots, eight times the power needed
for 20 knots would be required; but in
asmuch as the law of resistance becomes
much more favorable at these higher
rates of speed, Prof. Thurston fixes the
limit of the probable power required at
250, 900 horse power.
The weight of the steam machinery
for the new ship he estimates at $500
tons, or the totaltonnage of the Oregon,
and the consumption OF coal at 175 tons
an hour, $500 tons day, or 10000
for the voyage. The weight of fuel
and machinery would therefore be
$4,000 tons. Allow 1900 tons, or,
according to the present construction.
about one-third Of the total displace-
ment, for the weight of the hull, and
8, 900 tons would be left for passengers,
crew and cargo. GoodGps Sun.

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS
NY BABY.

Our baby gone2 It's very queer.
A moment since saw her here:
Can she have gone to ride to-day,
Over the hills with Dapplc Grey2
With never bell on her dimpled toes;
Oh, tell me whore my baby goest
Though dearly baby loves to ride.
o better far she loves to hide!
But mol no Alice 10 lurking there:
Can she be cuddled down to sleep,
Under the hay with Little DO Peepr
ia like to see one little curl.
From the blessed head of my baby girl;
miss the sound of pattcring feet
IT'S time she was nome again, my sweet;
Think you she can be in that corner.
Eating plums like little JACK Hornerf
think hear behind the door,
A laugh like one I've heard before:
All here's baby cuddied down.
With many curl on her head OF browns
Can you, Miss Baby, tell to me
Where hides the girl long to sect
Her eyes are black and full of fun,
Her hair is tied with ribbon blue,
think she looks . bit like you:
Just lift your head and let me see
How much you look like Alice Leei
Ireally think-ah! yes. I'm sure
Our baby's here behind the door;
Her dimpled chin, her laughing eyes.
Her Joy ut mother great surprise:
Her curly head. her loving kiss.
All say: my little girl 10 this.
Now come to my lap; away wen 60
on to land I'm sure you know:
Over the hills. now up, now down,
Welcome at last to Dreamland Town.
That happy place where children grow
Large, strong and tall, and good, you know
Our babies, sometimes cross and sad.
Come back from Dreamland. gay and giaf
And older folks will often ind
They've lett their worries all behind.
So rock-a-bye, till lay you down
For q pleasant trip to Dreamland Town.

A Couple Meet for the First Time and
Marry Before Dawn.

BIRMINGHAM, Dec. 26.-Rev. d.
l. Purser, who last night performed
a sensational marriage ceremony at
O'Brien's Opera House, was reused
from his bed this morning before day
light to marry another couple at a
private residence. They were A. C.
Cannon, of Birmingham, and Mrs.
Mary Sale, Of Macon, Georgia. The
time of the marriage was not so re-
markable as another circumstance.
Neither one of the couple had seen
the other before last night. The
groom about month ago advertised
for a wife, and received an answer
from the bride at Macon yesterday.
They were on the way to meet each
other, and met at Leeds, on the Geor-
gia Pacific road, reaching here last
night. The license and the preacher
were obtained with the result men,
toned.

They Were Not Man and Wife.

"There are some queer couples in

street real estate agent. "The other
day man and woman called to see
about renting a fiat on the North
Side. The woman did all the talk
ing, and turned to the man for con-
firmation or corroboration. He al

very meekly.
"'Well, says the woman, finally,
Il will give you s25 for the fiat, won't
we, John?'
"'Yes'm, replied the man.
"'And I'll pay my rent promptly
too, won't we John?'
WYes'm.'
"'And I'll take good care of the
house, won't we, John?'
"Yes'm.'
But, l inquired, as is usual in
such cases, ARE yod man and wife p

woman, sharply, "indeed we are not,

"'No'm.'
"What ~ says /, mot man and

"'Not much. I'd have you know
that in this family we are wife and

Dentistry of the Primitive Sort.

Boston Globe.
Some of the more primitive meth
DDS of extracting teeth are worthy of
mention. One was to attach one end
of stout string to the offending
tooth, the other end to the handle of
a half-opened door, and then sudden
ly close the door. The same object
was sometimes attained by fastening
the string to a window-sill, and then
jumping out Of the window. How
high window should be from the
ground to perform this operation sat
isfactorily is not stated, though this
is question of but little moment to
a man suffering with a raging tooth
ache.
Early in the present century den
lists travelled from town to town,
provided with turnkey, scraper,
and some kind of dentifrice. The
latter commonly contained acids,
which not only removed the tartar
from teeth, but destroyed their enam-
Ell. AS one of Boston's most promi-
nent dentists expressed it: ITO use
such preparation is like setting a
barn afire to kill the rats" In de-
stroying exposed nerves hot iron
was used in place of steptics. A small
nerve in the ear, connected with a
network of nerves, extending to the
median line, was sometimes destroy
ed with a hot iron to prevent tooth
ache. In other words, the burning
of that little nerve precluded the pos
sibility of toothache on one side OF
the face. This was not a general GUS
tom, though the operation is known
to have been quite frequently per-
formed in Massachusetts.
