NAVAL TARGET PRACTICE.

Excellent Scores Made by the Gun
ners Of the Philadelphia.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 25.-Diagrams of the
first target practice on the new cruiser
Philadelphia have just reached the navy
department. The practice was at Gardiner
bay. Oct 4. with 6-inch, 3-inch and 1-inch
rapid-fre guns, and the results were re-
markable At one range of 1000 yards sixty
of sixty shots were lodged in an exact
vertical line, extending twenty feet above
the water line, which means that every one
of them would have hit an ordinary war
vessel in very near the Same place. As the
ship and guns were new this first trial is re-
garded as satisfactory demonstration OF
the quality of our ordinances and the ability
of our gunners.

MISS GIRL MARRIED.
Why Does Mrs. Man Go Back In the World
While Her Husband Grows?

why Does Mrs. Man Go Back In the World
While Her Husband Grows?
Miss Girl was married the other day
and when she came down this morning
nearly everybody in town was looking
at her, for she really is very pretty.
Her cheeks and lips have Redeemed and
she walks as lightly as princess and as
proudly as a queen; and somehow or
other the thin white veil she wears
heightens her appearance wonderfully,
and the men watch her as she passes.
The girls all envy her, and the elderly
women are beginning to call on her; in
fact she is getting settled for life.
She is SO happy and conscious of her
self that she is unconscious of the fact
that she is going over road which
will soon deepen into a rut and make her
like all other women. She can not hold
the general attention very much longer
and the next bride will displace her in
public admiration. She will soon find
that she is counted as old married folks
by her unmarried friends and is not in
vited very much, and further she will find
that married folks have little society of
their own. Then sho will get more and
moro engrossed with her neighbor's gos-
sip and little church affairs and some-
how things which she did before mar
riage innocently enough when done by
the young girls will have q different
significance to her and she will be given
to insinuating that this or that thing
may be all right but-And then she will
meet with the women around at places
and discuss the men and tell about her
husbands lungs and liver, and swap
remedies for Group and sour stomach,
and sore eyes.
Long before this she will get fat and
lose her pretty color and will waddle
and wear black alpaca on the. streets
and calico dress and carpet slippers in
the house, and the men who are envy
ing my friend, Mr.. Man, now, will then
wonder how he was ever attracted to
such woman as Mrs. Man anyway, and
her friends will think of what . pretty
woman she was, and sigh and say there
are no such good old-fashioned girls as
there used to be, and that all the girls
care for is dress. dress, dress.
Mrs. Man probably doesn't think she
will make that kind of wife and has
often talked with Mr.. Man about how
she is going to be- pretty always
for him and how she will not
let their marriage make the slight
est difference in her personal ap-
pesrance, but she will forget all this
after the first baby has been brought up
II not before. Why does Mrs. Man 20

near the door, he brought it down with
all his strength upon the tail of the big
fellow. The effect was electric; ur
went the flukes with a tremendous
whisk, and. while the axe went out to

open beaches make a most fitting frame
for such picture. The residents are
all great fishermen, and many are the
marvellous stories told of big catches of
fish and adventures on the coast.
Captain Joe Holland is one of the vet
Grams of Lake Worth, and here is his
latest fishing adventure while on his
last trip from tho Bermudas a few
weeks ago: The captains pet boat is a
small sloop, and his crew consists of
himself and a stalwart mulatto and a
pet monkey. The latter had been
taught to haul ropes and do many other
things of the kind. When out from the
islands on their last trip, and in the
Gulf stream, they encountered school
Of sharks. The captain, it appears,
tried every way to get rid of his unwel-
come followers. but to no avail, as they
clung closer than debtor, and night or
day their ugly-looking fms and shovel
shaped noses were clearly visible
close by.
While proceeding along under easy
sail the captain began practicing on the
sharks with his rifle, while Emmanuel,
the mulatto, tried his skill with an old
fish harpoon. The captain finally
wounded one. and the whole school
turned on it as its blood began to flow
and terrible commotion began near
the vessel. To add to the confusion
Emmanuel struck big one, too, and its
frantic struggles, coupled with the
streams of blood that flowed from its
wounds, soon brought up all tbs man.

averred. The huge, ugly creatures
plunged round about the vessel, strik-
ing at the wounded ones and taking
great pieces out of their sides. The
fight grew furious, the sharks jumping
out of the water and rushing at each
other with wide-open mouths, armed
with such ugly-looking sets of teeth, as,
the captain says, fairly made his blood
run cold. In all, over forty big sharks
were engaged In the scrimmage, and
the commotion they caused was ter
rible.

AcIDITY OF THE STOMACH.

M. D., Of the Battle Creek sanitarium.
Acidity of the stomach is due to
germs and the cure lies in getting rid of
the germs. Germs of fermentation in
the stomach produce first alcohol, then
carbonic acid and then acetic acid. A
person troubled with this form of dys-
pepsia should be careful to take only
such articles Of food as do not favor
germs and thus starve them out. Tho
worst articles are sugar and all forms of
sweets, including ice cream and cake,
and all fat foods. Boiled milk and un-
fermented breads are excellent foods to
take. Another thing to do is to wash
the germs out of the stomach by drink
ing freely of hot water an hour before
meals. If food is put into stomach al
ready sour, of course fermentation will
set up Immediately. 1t is Just like
straining new milk into unwashed pans
from which sour milk has been emptied.
Some people notice that just as soon az
they eat their stomachs become sour.
The third important thing to do is to
stimulate the stomach to make moro
gastric juice which is natural antisep-
tic and prevents fermentation and it also
hastens absorption. The glands may be
stimulated by applying hot fermenta-
tions to the stomach for half an hour
Immediately after the close of meal. or
easier still, by wearing a rubber bag,
nIied with hot water, directly over the
stomach for half an hour or an hour.
Heat is q natural stimulant and there
are no possible i'll effects from its use in
this way.
