On the Move.

A novel cause for seeking divorce
Is given by Mrs. f. {. Jennings of
Chicago. She is a slight, middle
aged woman, who declares she is
worn out ty her husbands abnormal
disposition to move rather than pay
rent. For the twenty-fifth time in a
brief period. it is charged, Mr.. Jen-
nings came home and repeated his
old remark: well, May, the NOV
ing van will be here tomorrow at Z
q. m. / think you had better pack
up" Mrs. Jennings says she has
worn herself out acting upon this re-
mark of her husband, and she thinks
she should be given an opportunity
20 live in one place long enough to
get acquainted with it. No doubt
her plea will be successful. 1t is
about time for Mr.. Jennings to move,
and the woman thinks she should be
excused from participating in the
next one.

1t is noticed that even a short resi-
dence in the United States makes a
marked change in the conditions and
standards OF the immigrant. Scandi-
navian passengers sometimes revisit
their old homes after a soiourn in
this country. They usually take the
steerage passage on the eastward
voyage, but the second cabin on the
return westward voyage. Tho east
ward steerage passage they fip1 clean
and comfortable, but the recollection
OF the ill-smelling steerago of their
first trip to America drives them to
the second cabin. These people as
cribe the difference between the east
ward and westward steerage passage
TO the difference in the cleanliness OF
the immigrants that have lived in the
United States. 1t is to be added,
however. that iE days not long ago
the number Of westward bound pas
sengers greatly exceeded the numbe
of eastward bound, and doubtless it
is the cleanliest and most intelligent
of original immigrants who are able
to revisit their old homes. The con-
dition of human beings shipped like
cattle Is not the same as those who
travel for pleasure.

This year the members of the sopho-
more class of Rutgers College resolved
to vary the usual monotony of the Gre
nation celebration. The effect of the
startling innovation introduced by the
bold students upon the crowd that
thronged the circus grounds to witness
the rites attending the annihilation of
'Analytios" was more than startling.
Heretofore 1t has been the custom for
the college men to show their agility
N celebrating their release from the
thraldom of old "Analytics" by par
ticipating in ballet dance as a part
OF the ceremonial. The committee
considered this too tame, and promised
a surprise. At the time for the ap-
rearance Of the ballet a score of bright
coryphees from New York pirouetted
in the foreground. The latest novel;
ties in high kicking and acrobatics
were given in bewildering succession.
1t was a revelation to the staid de-
scendants of the Dutch. Many of
them were shocked by the actions of
the dancers, and the willy collegians
ire being censured for their audacity.

A Good Snake Story.

Some of the farmers in the Con-
necticut valley have been having an
exciting time in q big snake hunt.
The snake is a big python, which
escaped from Barnum's show, and he
has been prowling about among the
farms, eating the Strawberries, drink
ing the milk, and even, according to
the report, trying TO swallow the
cows. One strawberry raiser asserts
that the snake took at least 100
pounds of his fruit, and another lost
nine gallons of milk at o single sess-
ion. while other losses are reported.
A hunting party OF farmers, armed
with clubs and pitchforks, pursued
the snake, but he took to the river
and calmly swan away.

4 Level Head.

General Booth, the Salvation Armv
leader, in reviewing his work in this
country. has many kind words to saw
concerning the newspapers. He did
not imagine the press could do much
good, even if it wanted to, and GER.
tainly he did believed that it wanted
to. The newspapers have changed
their opinion of Gen. Booth just as he
has changed his opion of the newepa-
pers. The old idea that he was a
wild-eyed fanatic, whose sole object
was to gain notoriety. has been aban-
doned, now that the American people
have become more familiar with Gen.
Booths methods and objects, and
what he thinks OF America is best
shown by his act in applying for nat
uralization as citizen OF the United
States.

HH Will Not Drown Himself.
(From the Troy, n. y, Times. }


r. w. Edwards, of Lansingburgh, was
Frustrated by sunstroke during the war
and it has entailed on him peculiar and
serious consequences. At present writing
Mr. f. is a prominent officer of Post Lyon,
q. A. r., Cohoes, and a past aid-de-camp
on the staff of the commander-in-chi of
Albany Co. In an interview with re-
porter, he said:
~ was wounded and sent to the hospital
at Winchester. They sent me together
with others to Washington-a ride of
about 100 miles. Having no room in the
box cars we were placed face up on the
bottom of fiat cars. The sun beat down
upon our unprotected heads. When /
reached Washington | was insensible and
was unconscious for ten days while in the
hospital. An abscess gathered in my ear
and broke; it has been gathering and
breaking ever since. The result of this 100
mile ride and sunstroke, was, heart dis
ease, nervous prostration, insomnia and
rheumatism; a completely shattered sys'
tenn which gave me no rest night or day.
As last resort took some Pink Pills and
they helped me to a wonderful degree. My
rheumatism is gone, my heart failure,
dyspepsia, and constipation are about
gone and the abscess in my ear has
stopped discharging and my head feels
as clear as a bell when before it felt as
though it would burst and my once shat
tered nervous system is now nearly sound.
Look at those fingers" Mr.. Edwards said,
do they look as if there was any rheuma-
tism therer" He moved his fingers rapidly
and freely and strOde about the room like
young boy. "A year ago those fingers
were gnarled at the joints and so stiff that
l could not hold pen. My knees would
swell up and l could not straighten my leg
out My joints would squeak when moved.
Il cannot begin to tell you,n said Mr..
Edwards, as he drew long breath, "what
my feelings is at present l think If you
lifted ten years right off my life and left
me prime and vigorous at forty-seven ]
could feel no better. l was an old man
and could only drag myself painfully about
the house. Now l can walk off without any
trouble. That in ITSELF" continued Mr..
Edwards, "would be sufficient to give me
cause for rejoicing, but when you come to
consider that am no long what you might
call nervous and that my heart is appar-
entity nearly healthy and that | can sleep
nights you may realize why may appear
to speak in extravagant praise of Pink
Pills. These pills quiet my nerves, take
that awful pressure from my head and at
the same time enrich my blood. There
seemed to be no circulation in my lower
limbs year ago, my legs being cold and
clammy at times. Now the circulation
there is as full and as brisk as at any
other part of my body. / used to be so
light-headed and dizzy from my nervous
disorder that Frequently fell while cross
ing the floor of my house. Spring is coming
and never felt better in my life, and am
LOOKING forward to a busy season of work"

DODoING WATERSPoUTs.
lively Times for q Steamship and q
Flock of Mother Carey's Chi-kena

Flock of Mother Carey's Chi~kenA
A waterspout struck the British
steamship Ferndene south Of Cape Hat
teras on May 25th, and the deluge Of
water which was poured on her decks
nearly made a clean sweep of every
thing movable. The Ferndene ar
rived here yesterday with cargo OF
sugar from Cardenas and Maltanzas.
and Capt. Millburn told the story Of
her rough usage by the spout. On
the afternoon of May 25th, when the
Ferndene was to the southwark OF
Cape Hatteras, numerous waterspouts
were sighted, travelling rapidly in diff
ferent directions, and the course of the
vessel had to be changed frequently
in order to keep out Of their way.
Shifting winds and numerous sudden
squalls added to the difficulty of avoid
Ing the waterspouts, and the steamer
had had several narrow escapes before
finally she was struck. About 5
o'clock, just as Capt. Millburn came on
deck, he saw that one Of tho water
spouts was rapidly whirling toward
the Ferndene, and it was impossible 10
avoid collision, so the captain shout
ed to all hands to drop fiat on the
deck in order to escape being swept
overheard. With a rush and a roar
the great column of whirling water
struck the vessel and broke. tons of
water deluging her decks. The boats
vain of the vessel, who had not heard
the command of his captain, was
hurled from the bridge and dashed
against the wheelhouse, and seriously
injured. He was carried to the cabin
by his shipmates and his injuries were
found to be of most serious charac-
ter. Several others were badly bruisad
and had bones broken. Peculiar at
mospheric conditions were noticed be-
fore and after the vessel was struck.
There was a strong smell of gas, as if
submarine disturbances had something
to do with the appearance of the water
spouts. No rain had fallen for two
days, but soon after the spout disap.
peared the rain began to fall in tor.
rents from an apparently cloudless
sky. Capt. Millburn said that TWEEN
ty or thirty Mother Carey's chickens"
had been following the steamer for sew
eral days and they were seen flying
astern just before the vessel was
struck. Evidently some of them were
caught by the waterspout, for when the
deluge subsidedv there were many
feathers on the decks and the birds
had disappeared from sight.-Philadel-

Knew Her Business.

1t is reported that Kanidia, a Kick
apoo squaw, took shotgun and held
up the contractors of the Choctaw
railway. in Oklahoma, and all his
men, and would not let them build a
foot OF track in her allotment until a
bond of $4,000 was put up as guar
antee for damages. The company re-
fused a day or two ago to arbitrate
with her, and when the men arrived
on the ground she met them with her
shotgun with the above result. Lo!
the poor Indian, could have been
bought off with jug Of whisky; not
so the red sister, who knows the ways
of the white invader.

Increasing Rapidly.

In 1890 there were nearly 1000, 900
women and girls among the class
called wage-earners in the United
States. Their number has increased
in ten years over 1900. 900, or more
than 40 per cent. In the various
branches of trade the increase in
female employees was 263 per cent.
This is due to the rapid utilization OF
women as accountants, cashiers,
clerks, stenographers, typewriters
and the like. During the same period
the number engaged in the profess
lone show great increase, in many
instances the percentage Of increase
being far larger for women than for
men.

A Long Jump.

Nearly everyone who looks out oil
the window Of the Washington monu-
ment wants to know if anyone ever
committed suicide by jumping off.
Nobody ever did and as far as can be
ascertained nobody ever wanted to.
The only thing that ever did jump of
the monument was a cat. 1t seems
that when the monument was being
built cat climbed the scaffold and
when it had reached 500 feet decided
it was high enough and jumped Of.
According to the legend the cat
reached the ground unhurt and was
settling its fur when wandering dog
killed It.

a st. Louis Man Has an Artificial Mouth
Into His Stomach.
There is one man in st. Louis who is
unable to take nourishment in the or
binary way, and is fed through hole
In his side The patient is William
Kaselow, seventy years of age, who
was operated upon at his home, corner
,f Manchester road and Grand avenue,
last Saturday, says the Chronicle.
kaselow has an aneurism of the aorta.
For six months he has been sustained
entirely upon liquid food. Lately his
condition grew very serious, and for a
period Of five days preceding the opera
tion it was impossible for him to take
any nouriShment whatever. DR.. Joseph
4. Bauer, assisted by Drs. Louis Bauer
w. V. Kingsburg and ]. d. Nifong,
operated upon him. 1t was impossible
for the surgeons to diagnose the case,
but the supposition was that a cancer
o's growth had formed in the stomach.
Repeated attempts had been made to
open the esophagus, but without sue
less. After an entrance had been made
into the stomach large tumor of the
acrta, just above the esophagus, was
found. 1t was so situated as to pre-
vent food from passing. 1t was i'm
possible, however, to remove the tumor,
as that would have resulted In the
patients death. The problem which
the surgeons had to solve was how to
nourish the patient. An artificial
mouth was made, and through this he
will be fed. Last night for the first
time since the operation he was sup
piled with nourishment. His diet here
after will be wholly liquid, as anything
requiring mastication could not be
digested. DR.. Joseph L. Bauer, in
speaking of the case yesterday, said
that Kaselow could probably be Kept
alive for years.
