So much has been written and published
OF late descriptive of yachts designed
solely for speed, and the racing of them,
that one might fancy no other kind of
yachts was called for, and that Americans
cared for neither com fort nor safety,
economy nor endurance in boats.
But such an estimate of American yachts
men, and Washington yachtsmen in par
ticular, would be most erroneous, for
nothing is more desired by sepsible men,
especially by that large and increasing
class who own and sail boats FOR pleasure,
health and education of their faculties.

when well handled, and comfortable to

the chances of escape by doing up the

Now. as every beat has two or more boxes

There is not much activity in club

True it is, that thegreat majority of these

as keenly appreciated from the cockpit of

Among the craft ofthe Washington Yacht
Club are boats of nearly every kind known
to the vicinity. Sloops seem to be the
favorites, but schooner yachts, catboats,
sharpies and cruising canoes are found in
abundance.

very rare, while policemen themselves
are so frequently assaulted and brutally
beaten that it is a wonder they do not
use more violence. One of the recent
instances of that nature was the assault
committed upon policeman Greer, then Of
the Eighth precinct, by u number of negro
toughs. Greer had arrested Batter Minnr
for fast driving. and was about 10 carry
hiszprisoner tn the patrol box, when he
was set upon by half Gszen other negroes,

into insensibility. He was kept at the
hospital under constant treatment for sew

ington last winter, aud started out to
calsomine the town with crimson. He had
a satchel which contained jug filled with
whisky which he had evidently distilled
himself, and it was of the widest and most
lurid variety. Frequent pulls at the jug
had filled him with a yearning for trouble,
and he ran afoul Of a cuuple of officers
near the market and got it.
The first two were unable to cope with
him. He successfully kept them off for
several minutes, throwing them down as
fast as they got at him, and they finally
resorted to their whistles. Two other
officers and a sergeant responded, and
after hard fight they finally succeeded
in getting the nippers on both wrists and
ta king him to the station house.
The nippers are persuasive little instru-
ments that deserve a special description.
They resemble a chain bride bit, being
only a little longer, and when thrown
around a wrist, however tough it may be,
a couple of gentle twists will do the work.
They are easily applied, and a policemans
equipment is incomplete without them.

He had friend at Yale College who was

pains to get all the classjfications from
every part of the United States. They would
have puzzled anybody. The student kept
the books and pamphlets for long time.
Finally Hubbard heard from him, and the

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes
pure, rich blood, and to gain in blood is
nearly always to gain in wholesome flesh up
to the healthy standard.
Every one should have a certain surplus
of flesh to meet the emergencies of sick
ness /; to resist the attack Of consumption,
grip, malaria and fevers. Thin blooded
people are always getting sick, and none of
the organs of the body can get along with
out the food they require for work, which is,
pure blood. To gain and to keep strength
and flesh is the secret of health, usefulness
and happiness. With new blood and re-
freshed nerves a confident feeling of return
ing health comes also.
Nervous manifestations, such as Sleep
lessness, nervous debility and nervous
prostration are in nine cases out of ten "the
cry of the starved nerves for food" If you
feed the nerves on pure rich blood the
nervous symptoms will cease It is bad
practice to put the nerves to sleep with So

malt extracts what is needed is blood

vegetable ingredients which have an es-
pecial effect upon the stomach, liver, and
blood making glands. For the cure of
dyspepsia, indigestion, liver complaint,

pie, DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry cannot be equaled. Thousands have

Wafer Works In America.

The first works for a public supply
of water in the United States were
built at the City of Boston in the year
1862, and nothing further was done
in this direction for more than 100
years. At the present time for not
less than 25,OO0,OO0 of Americans the
question Of water supply presents no
difficulties says F. II. Lewis in Cas-
sier's Magazine. For domestic use,
for business purpose or for fire pro-
lection, an abundant supply is to be
had at the turning of valve.
Not only is the supply in most
cases, but the use of it reaches ex-
travagant figures. In the year 1894
Chicago used 23s, 100000 gallons of
water per day, and Philadelphia 1877
600, 900. All this water was pumped
from the source Of supply to reser-
voirs or standpipes for distribution,
The city of New York has a gravity
supply of water and uses 1873, 100000
gallons per day. On the basis OF
these figures, it appears that every
man, woman and child in Philadel-
phia requires l6O gollons of water for
daily use, In Chicago about los gel
Ions and in New York about $50 gal.
lous. In some of the smaller cities
the per capita consumption reaches
even higher figures. Thus Buffalo
is on record, in 1890, with daily
consumption per capita Of 1856 gallons
and Allegheny, Pa, at the same time
with a daily per capita OF 23s gallons
II these figures are compared with
the per capita consumption OF thu
City of London--4O gallons per day
lit will be seen what lavish use il
made OF water in American cities
and some conception will be formed
Of the great system Of works required
to supply such demands.
