The Four BiG Sloops.

When Lord Dunraven challenged, through the Royal Yacht squadron, for q race for the cup, yachtsmen in New York and Boston at once set to work to get all the boats built they could to defend the cup. They rcalized that the Nalkyrie would be smart kind of n craft, and tu make no slip up in the defense of the cup four yachts were built of different types.
 Two were constructed by the HerreShOtfs at Bristol and two in Boston. Of the two Herreshun yachts, one is R Ccnterboard and the other is a keel boat. The Boston boats were by different designers. One was from the boarl of Stewart & Binney. This Is a deep fin keel craft, and the other was from designs of Mir. J. E. Paine and is a comhi- nation in keel and ceuterboard.

Arsenic Eaters.

In Styria and Carinthia there is
much arsenic eating among the peas
ants the women take to it to give
themselves a good complexion and to
make their hair fine and glossy. The
men take it because they believe that
it gives them wind in climbing in the
chase after chamois. There is nothing
of this sort in Cornwall and Devon.
In Styria and Carinthia it is known
that an arsenic-eater can never be
broken of the habit, and that if arsenic
be compulsorily kept from the eater
death rapidly ensues. 1t is believed in
the Tamar-and this is perhaps true
that an arsenic worker is fit for no
other work. He must remain at this
occupation. Health and breath fail
him at other employments. Eventual
ly, it may be that chronic arsenical
poisoning ensues; but this may be

Suggestive to Doctors and scolds.

DR.. P. was not really surly man,
but the hurry of his large and ard
uous practice made him appear so
sometimes. Directly opposite his
Office lived Mr.. Bradley, whose wife
was an inveterate and loud-voiced
scold. She had never had occasion
for the Doctors services except for
one thing, and that was to set her
dislocated jaw several times. 1t had
been first injured in an accident some
years before, and had never fully re-
covered; any unusual strain was lia-
BILE to throw it out of joint again.
One morning, as he was preparing
in haste for long round of profess
sional calls, his ears were assailed by
the din of Mrs. Bradley's scolding.
She was giving her husband violent
curtain lecture" and no doubt the
Doctor was nettled by the sound.
Il hope she won't put her jaw out
of joint with her clack, and come
over here to have it SET" muttered
he to himself.
But the next moment in she came,
holding her chin in one hand, and
with the other pointing into her open
mouth, which she could not shut, and
mumbling, "Ah, ah, ah!"
"Yes, yes, 1 know!" exploded the
Doctor; you've got your jaw out a
scolding your husband. I expected
1t! l expected It'll Well, sit down
here, and I'll put it down in wink'
showing chair toward her as hs
spoke.
She began to sit down, but, just as
she was almost seated, the Doctol
discovered that the chair did not
face the light as he wished, and gave
it slight turn. Somehow, between
them, the chair was so misplaced
that she missed 1t, and sat down with
a tremendous thump on the floor.
1t is an Ill mishap that brings nobody
good. The force of her collision with
the floor did neater job in setting
her jaw than the Doctor could have
done.
Yet, all the anne, Mrs. Bradley did
not like such a style Of surgery.
Scrambling to her feet, she squared
of, with battle in her attitude and
fire In her eyes, to give the Doctor a
lingual thrashing. But she had met
more than her match. The Doctor
flung open the door, and seizing her
by the arm, marched her out and
down the steps, exclaiming:
$50 right home and stop scolding
forever, for I'll never let your jaw
again"
Home she went, and it is said she
never scolded any more. The Incl
dent is suggestive to doctors and
scolds.
