Perils On the Ocean.

The Washington patent office alone
contains some fifty different models of
swimming belts, cork jackets, life buoys,
surf boats, life boats aud danger signals,
and, considering the elaboration of
marine charts and safety arrangements III
naval architecture, it seems rather strange
that the number of shipwrecks of the
northern hemisphere mot including the
Gulf of Persia or the China Sea- should
reach the enormous average of 2400 a
year, involving loss of 5000 lives.
The fact is that new ocean pefis turn
up as fast as the contrivances intended
for their prevention.
The very speed of first class passenger
steamers increase the fatality of such
disasters, asserts Felix Oswald in the
Chautauquan.
Another new element of danger has
arisen from the fact that the civilization
of the American continent is working its
way farther aud farther up north, involv-
ing the establishment of steamer lines
across the drift of polar icebergs.
Ocean racers, indeed, have become as
unavoidable evils as storms and sea fogs,
and pluI atty of passengers may con-
tlnue to accept them as preferable altern-
atives, but considering the protests of
an influential minority it seems hard to
understand why their risk has not at
least been modified in the way proposed
by Professor Marquard, of Hamberg, aud
Captain de Ia Gardic, of the Belgian
navy, VIZ, the use of "companion
steamers" In nine out OF ten cases the
worst consequences of shipwreck could
have been averted if more efficient help
than that of frail hfeboats had been near
at hand, and as the chance against the
probability of both vessels being wrecked
at the same time would be as thousand
to one, the popularity of the feetiest
"ocean greyhound" would be eclipsed
by the plan of letting passenger steamers
start pairwisc and keep up communica-
tion by means of signal lights and fog
bells.

TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES.

German military papers show that drunk
enness in the German army is greatly in
creasing.
Sake drinking is one of the great curses of
Japan. In 1879 the amount of rice converted
into sake amounted to Is, 900, 600 bushels.
A return has been published which shows
that the total number of public houses in
England and Wales licensed for the sale of
beer, or beer and wine, TO be consumed on
the premises, is 80, 497.
A writer in the Fortnightly Review, an
English traveller says: 'The very air of
Africa reeks with rum and gin, imported
from England: every hut is redolent of its
fumes. Over large areas drink is almost the
sole currency and in many parts the years
wages of the Negro factory worker are paid
altogether in spirits"
Chicago has a woman's baking company
that has been incorporated with capital
stock of $3.50, 900. The company is composed
of Christian Temperance Union women, and
it is said they expect not only to run the con-
Germ on strict business principles, but also TO
use only the purest materials and TO have tle
work done entirely by women.
''rhe hands of a man who works around a
bar continued the barkeeper, ''are another
source of trouble Always in and out of
water, the skin cracks open and the poison
of whisky and beer enters. Several men

Cost Of Keeping n Warship.

The first cost of a first class battle ship
is only very small part of the expense
which it entails upon the nation. ships
like the Chicago, Baltimore and Phila-
delphia carry about thirty officers, 300 en-.
listed men, and a marine corps of from
forty to sixty men and officers. The
officers of first class ship of the line are
the following; Captain, lieutenant COM
mander, four lieutenants, one junior
lieutenant, two ensigns, nine naval
cadets, medical inspector, surgeon, pay
master, chief engineer, assistant engineer,
chaplain, captain of the marines, gunner
and carpenter. The expense of main
tanning first class modern cruiser, pay
of officers and men, coal, repairs and
general supplies, is estimated at $1,000
per day. This is in time OF peace. If
fighting is to be done the expense will,
of course, be greatly increased. Repairs
may run into the hundreds of thousands
of dollars after an engagement, while
the cost of firing one broadside from a
ship like the Chicago, 900 pounds ol
metal at one discharge from four guns,
IS abOet $600.-Picayune.

Why a Horse Ents Dirt.

There was block in the street up town
the other day, and a crowd Of people and
any number of carts, street cars and car
riages were generally mixed up and de-
layed for some time.
Directly in front Of one Of the cars was
a cart loaded with fresh dirt from some
cellar. The passengers on the car noticed
that one of the car horses was interested
in the load of dirt. Finally he stretched
his neck out and picked up a small
mouthful of the clay, which he seemed
to try to dissolve in hismouth, with con-
siderable satisfaction.
"Why, that horse is eating dirtl" said
passenger with some astonishment. ''I
never seen the like"
"Nor |, said another man.
: "Reckon you gentlemen don't know
much about horses" said a quiet man.
GA hoss," he went on, "knows as much
as any animal about his own stomach,
and If men knew as much as animals do
they wouldn't have dispepsy. A hoss in
the country if he can get bit OF grass
with his dirt he takes it that way, but
here in the city suppose he must be
glad to get the dirt clean. That's why
that hoss is eatin' that dirt.
'I don't pretend to know what they
eat dirt for, the man went on, "but
know that they do eat it ouce iD g while,
and it must be for the good of their
stomachs and that they know what they
are doing.
"Animals is knowing things, and so is
birds. A hen will eat clam-shells and
crackle over them if you'll pound them
up fine. A dog will hunt out certain
herbs when he is sick. A COW knows
when she wants salt as well as a man
does, an it's the same way with any
other animal except man. New York

Wells in the Desert.

In the year 1857 the French engineer,
NJ. Jus, demonstrated that that portion
of the Sahara Desert included within the
area of French Algeria contained large
underground supplies of water, and the
number of wells bored since that time in
the departments of Algiers, Oran and
Constantine amounts to more than 49,.
600. These wells vary from 100 to 400
feet in depth, and the pressure of the
water forces it couple of feet above the
surface of the ground. 1t is then led
into bitches, and is carried in this way
to the vineyards, date trees and wheat
fields. No fewer than twelve million
acres of barren land have been made
fruitful In this way, an enterprise repre-
senting perhaps the most remarkable ex-
ample of irrigation by means of artesian
wells which can anywhere be found.
Algeria owes to this method Of cultiva-
tion that it is becoming a most i'm
portant wine-producing country, as may
be gauged from the fact that it sent to
France in 1866 10000, 900 gallons -

Presbyterian church; Prof. james n. Kelly,
principal Of the academyj John ?. and Har'
vey Crouch, and Frank aud Edward Willard,
merchants, and many others TO whom Mr.
QUAINT and his so miraculous cure by the use
OF Dr. Wllliams's Pink Pills for Pale People
are well knbwn, were pleased TO have the
opportunity Of bearing testimony to the high
character Of Mr.. Quant, and OF verifying
the story OF his recovery from the terrible
ailliction from which he had for so long q
TIME been sufferer.
Truly, the duty Of the physician is not
TO save life, but to heal disease.
The remarkable result from the use OF DR..
Williamss Pink Pills In the case of Mr..
QUAINT induced the reporter to make further
Inquiries concerning them, an he ascer-
tatned that they are not patent medicine
in the sense in which that term Is generally
used, but highly scientific preparation, the
result OF years of study and careful expert
ment They have no rival as a blood
builder and nerve restorer and have met
with unparalleled success in the treatment
OF such diseases as paralysis, rheumatism,
sciatica, st, Vitus's dance, palpitation Of the
heart. that tired feeling which affects so
many, and all diseases depending upon a
watery condition Of the blood or shattered
nerves.
DR.. williams's Pink Pills are also specific
for trouble peculiar to females, such as sup
pressions, Irregularities, and oil forms Of
weakness. They build up the blood and re-
store the glow Of health TO pale or sallow
cheeks. In the case of men they affect a
radical cure in all cases arising from mental
worryi overwork, or excesses OF whatever
nature.
On further inquiry the writer found that
these pills are manufactured by The DR..
Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont,
and Morristown, N. Y, and are sold in
boxes tnever in bulk by the huudre1), at so
cents a box or six boxes for $3.50, and may
be had of all druggists or direct by mail
from DR.. Williams Medicine Co, from
either address. The price at which these
pills are sold makes a course of treatment
comparatively inexpensivea as compared with
other remedies, or medical treatment.
