opment may properly be given.
1t will be remembered that the name
of Dr.. William A. Hammond. retired
surgeon general of the army, was as
sociated with that of Dr. Brown-Se-
guard when the elixir was ID the hey
dey of its popularity with the para
grapher. This association was prob
ably of more benefit to the elixir than
II was to DR.. Hammond, but his reputa-
ton stood the strain very well. The

DR.. Hammond at his residence in this
city few days ago and there incident

Dewfail of q Year.

Strictly speaking. dew does not
''fall," it is always formed upon the
substance upon which it is found. and
cannot, in any sense of the word, be
said to fall from the atmosphere as
rain and snow do. Dew is great re
spector of colors. To prove this take
pieces Of glass or boards and paint
them red, yellow, green and black.
Expose them at night and you will find
that the yellow viii be covered with
moisture: that the green will be damp,
out that the red aud the black viii be
left perfectly dry. On an area of land
equal to the size of the state of Mis-

for ships. and splendid place for the
display of the heroism of the Maxn-
men.
One afternoon in October, 1859, a
Norwegian ship, in fearful tempest,
was drifting upon Contrary head All
Peel was down at the beach, watching
her. The lifeboat was got out, and
there were so many volunteers that the
harbor- master had no difficulty in Sc
Letting crew.
The Norwegian had lost her masts,
and the spars were floating around, so
that she was dangerous to, approach;
but the ifeboat reached her.

The coxswain counted them as they
hung on the ships side, and said:
Il only see twenty-one; not a man
shall leave the ship until you bring the
odd one on deck"
The odd one. a disabled man, had
been left below TO his fate. He was
brought up. and all were taken aboard
the lifeboat and safely landed on the
beach. The Norwegian government
struck medals for the lnebostnen, and
sent then. to the governor Of the island

WARIlkE YANKEES.
a Ssanan'a Clever Ruse That Failed to
Work.

Work.
The recent war talk has revived some
stories of the prowess on the sea of old
time down east Yankees. 1t is related
that Capt. John Dix, amous shipmas-
ter of Portland, was in a West Indian
port once where d Brit ISL man OF war
was blazing away at a target The
British gunDers Were unable to come
anywhere near the target, aud after
watching their laundering for some
time Capt. Dix loaded an old Ships
gun which he carried, using a chunk of
iron for a shot. lie fired, and when the
smoke cleared away the target was a
wreck. Immediately a boat from the
man of war came alongside. and an of
beer IN full uniform came over the rail
demanding an explanation of the Yam
KEGS performance. Capt. Dix assured
the officer that no diSreSpect WAS in
tended-that he only wanted To give
the Britishers lesson in gunnery. and
ne offered To furnish another horshead
for them to practice on After Scoldinp
little the officer burst into d laugh at
the absurdity OF the situation. and
Iveht back to his ship. The captain of
Yankee priv2teer, sailing from a
Maine port IN 1872, mistook an English
seventy-four for an East Indiaman, ran
alongside and or,,ered her 10 strike her
colors. The seyenty-four's ports few
open, her broadside was run ont and
the captain replied: Il am not in the
habit of hauling down my colors. Z"
-'Well, if You won't, will" answered
the Yankee, who lost his vessel hut not
his head.

KRUPP'S GREAT FOuNORIEs.

The Great Gun Maker of Germany En-
pioys an Army of Workmen.
In 1890 the population of Essen was
nearly seventy-nine thousand, and this
number included sixteen thousand of
Krupps workmen with their families,
numbering over fifty thousand). IN adj
ditlon to this, a large number of the
factory hands live in the worlzmen's
colonies in the suburbs of Essen, and
are not reckoned with the population of
the city, where about three thousand
Krupp employees are located at various
branch works. The total number Of
amen employed by the Krupps and at
:fected by their social experiments was,
according to the census take II in this
year, twenty-five thousand; and with
= their families amount TO eight-sevcn
thousand nine hundredspersons.
The Annals of the American Academy
contains an article by 5. NJ. Lindsay
which shows the improving social con
dition among the workmen. Sundays
and legal holidays no work is done at
the foundries except it be neces-

their special church days in order to at

of the working day is from six d. H. To
six o. m. with three different intervals
of rest aggregating minimum of two
hours per day. Night and day work is
so arranged that it is equally divided
among all; the len 9Th Of time for night
work is from six p. III. to half-past four
a. m, with a half-hour pause. Exclud
ing pauses, therefore, the actual work
ing time Is ten hours a day: formerly it
was eleven and half hours per day,
and including pauses thirteen hours.
Only since February, 1890, has work
ceased At six p. III. instead OF seven p.
m. Extra hours for repairs, etc, were
formerly more frequent than at pres
ent. but yet in IS90'9l they were
numerous enough TO average one per

physical vigor and muscular strength
threefoId in FIVE minutes? That looks
modern. 1t seems to be adapted to this
hasty age.
The dose is only FIVE drops: tits at the
disposal of the whole medical profess
sion; any doctor can make 1t; the ma
teriais are cheap and the product ought
not to cost much. Sullivan should get
his championship back by means of it,
and as it works upon the brain as well
as upon the muscles, we should have
week at the furthest.
This may be an exaggeration, but it
is no Joke The substance really exists,
and the writer had the privilege Of see
ing an experimental use of it a few
days ago. Let me first say a few words
about the history of its development.
Everybody renem bers the wild burst
of enthusiasm with which Dr., Brown
Sequard's elixir of life" was received
some years ago. 1t was the secret-hope
Of many an old roue, the open delight
of jaded hUmorists, an inspiration to
quacks, and. after all. an object of
some interest to the true man of SCI
ence. For it really wasn't so absurd as
it was painted. The truth about it was
never printed i'll the newspapers, and.
indeed, codldn't be printed. 1t was
founded on principle as old as the
hills and an article of faith to most of
those who ridiouled the elixir.
Bat what has become of it? Had it
drifted into total obscurity? Probably
most of the readers of this article viii
be surprised to learn that it formed the
subject of an address before a meeting
of learned and conservative physicians
in New York few weeks ago, and that
practical results of the development Of
the idea were set forth by high med
ical authority. Since the wear and
tear of time have taken away the rags
of imposture from this subst2nee-or
