Elevator sickness is sensation

northerly gale that you bear with for.
titude the motion of your end of the
boat when it's on the rise, but listen
for the angels harps when it sinks.
The elevator sickness is built ON the
same principle. It is more frequent in
New York and Chicago than anywhere
else in the world. The victims, mostly
women, often suffer frightful quslms
when the car starts on its downward
plunge. Some of the less impression.

Juggling at the rope boys bob-tailed

or something the boy, who has heard
that plea before, shakes out reef OF

and shoulders. Frequently she faints
away completely. Experience does no,

Suicidal Ingenuity.

A curious list and description of in
genious methods which insane patients
with suicidal tendencies have adopted
for disposing of themselves is given by
DIR. H. Sutherland in paper on the
prevention of suicide in the insane.
Patients with suicidal tendencies should
be put under surveillance and constant
attendance at once. Care must be
taken against all imaginable and even
some unimsgined things with whic 1
they might contrive TO kill themselves
medicines, pills, lotions and plasters,
and the patients taking the prescribed
doses, should be looked after. lest
they by some craft accumulate a
quantity sufficient TO kill and take it
all at once; keys, razors, knives and
forks, fire-irons, even brooms, broken
glass and crockery, should be kept out
of their hands; and nails, wires, ropes,
sash-lines, bell-pulls, tapes and string,
lest they hang themselves. Even a
piece of slate pencil or an old spoon
may be used for the purpose of strsngu-
lation, by being attached TO string
and then pushed through keyhole
and pulled taut. Patients working at
their trades require constant watching
and daily examination, for their tools
and materials may be made to afford
facilities for killing themselves. In
fact, the ingenuity of these people can
be matched only by ingenious vigil
ance and alertness.

A Turkish Royal Bedstead.

A bedstead has been unpacked In the
Turkish village on the plaisance that
the more or less veracious men of the
Orient say is worth $3.50, 900. 1t
weighs two tons and half, and more
than half Of it is alleged to be made of
silver. Special foundations had to be
constructed in the room where it islands
to sustain the weight. According to
the entry accompanying the shipment,
the couch was once the property of a
royal princess of the house OF Turkey,
but for many years has not been occu-
pied, and was stored away in the Sui
tan's palace.
The bed is of the old fashioned high
post pattern, with a canopy worked
out in massive silver filagree work, sur
mounted by crown. The posts are
round and perfectly plain, but the
sidepieces are all carved in artistic
floral designs The head is open work
and rather plain in design. At the
foot is the ''Toma," the reputed sigma
ture of Mahomet, who, it is said, when
called ON to write his name dipped his
hand in ink and made the queer
scravl which is put on all Turkish de-
signs. The bed stands about five feet
from the floor, and four steps, not
unlike those used in the sleeping cars
of to-day, assist the parsonage lucky
enough to sleep in the silver bedstead
The room in which it stands il made
up after the manner of a typical Tur-
kish bedroom of the highest clnss. The
floor is covered by heavy rugs, the
walls are hung with costly fabrics, an l
the room is strewn with quaint settees

The Beginning OF New York.

Fort Amsterdam, begun about the
year 1626-its northern wall about on
the line of the existing row of houses
facing the Bowling Chemically was
the beginning of the present city.
The engineer who planned it. Kryn
Frederick, had in mind the creation Of
works sufficiently large to shelter in
time of danger ell the inhabitants Of a
considerable town and when the Fort
was finished, the fact that such q
stronghold existed was one Of the in
ducements extended by the West In
dia Company to secure its needed col
onists; for these, being most immedi-
stely and personally interested in the
matter, could not be expected to con-
template the possibility of their own
massacre by savages of the land or sea
in the same large and statesmanlike
manner that such accidents of colonial
administration were regarded by the
Company's Directors. The building Of
the Fort, therefore, was the first step
towards snchoring the colony firmly to
the soil. By the time that the Fort
was finished the population Of this
island amounted to about two hundred
souls; and the island itself, for con-
sideration of S24, had been bought by
Director Minuit for the Company, and
so formally had passed to Dutch from
Indian hands. Harper's Magazine.

WHERE ANCHORS ARE MADE.


The Little Maine Town Whore Nearly All
of Them Are Forged.
The little town of Camden, Me,
ought to have its name changed to
Hope" said dealer in ship supplies
and stores to New York Sun man,
'for it turns out more of the emblems
of hope than all the 9Th places in
this country combined. All of the
stately ships that come out of the
Maine shipyards look to that little
village on the Penobscot for their
anchors. Scores of sturdy smithsswing
their hammers day after day all the
year long in the black, smoky, long.
low Camden shops, where only
anchors are forged. Sometimes the
triphammers are going all night
about the FORCES, and the blazing of
the fires and the ring of the hammers
are seen and heard miles away.
Thousands of tons of old iron are
purchased by these queer establish
ments every year, for anchors ale
forged largely from cast-off iron. Ths
material is cut into small pieces By
great shears that clip through the
iron as easily as cheese knife slices
a cheese. The pieces are bound into
bundles by strong wires, and are then
fused in the FORCES. Then they are
pounded and welded into the various
parts Of the anchor, some workmen
fashioning the rings, Others shaping
the fukes, Others hammering out the
palms, and others forging the shanks.
Then the completers take the diff r
ent parts and fuse and weld them in
to the finished anchor. Anchors OF
all sizes and weights are turned out
from the noisy shops of Camden, the
graceful little pleasure-boat anchor,
weighing but few pounds, as well
as the great $4,000 and $4,000 pound
anchors of the biggest ships.
There are many interesting relics
az Camden in the line of rusty and
broken anchors that did duty in their
day on famous merchant vessels, his
toric war ships, and sturdy whalers.
What is left OF the anchor OF the
United States frigate Cumberland is
among these relics

The Fading of Cut Roses.

To prevent the fading of cut roses,
those that are red or pink must be
kept where the light is not very strong.
Light is, however, beneficial to the
color of yellow roses. and they as well
as white ones may be placed in strong
light, providing it is not sunlight,
without injury. When the flowers are
placed in fresh water, which should be
changed at least once day, add a
little salt and clip the ends of the stems.
1t is well over night to place cut roses
in cool moist place. Iffowers arrive
before you are ready to make use of
thom, lay cloth over the ice in the
ice-box, and lay the flowers upon it, or
cot them on the ice in the box in which
they are packed.
