Rather a Damper.

A newly-married pair who arrived on
their honeymoon trip at certain cele
brated watering place, at time when
accommodation was at premium, had
a mattress spread for them by com
passionate innkeeper in one Of his
baths. In the middle of the night the
house was alarmed by loud shtieks
proceeding from the nuptial chamber.
What was tn matter? Well, this-the
young bride, wishing to ring the bell
for her maid, had caught hold OF what
she supposed to be a bell rope, and
pulled it smartly.
Unhappily for her and her spouse, it
was the cord of the shower bath above
their heads, and forthwith down
pumped such deluge of cold water rs
would throw a damper upon the most
devoted of honeymoon couples.
Her husband, in his dismay, caught
frantically at another cord on his side
of the extemporized couch, but the
only response was an equally liberal
deluge of water, this time nearly boil
Ing hot. The unhappy pair screamed
in unison. The bride, in the excitement
of the moment, uttered sentiments any
thing but complimentary to her spouse.
When the servants came they were
just in time to rescue the unhappy pair
from drowning, for the room was al
ready full of water, and the wife was
perched like a monkey on her husbands
neck, uttering lamentable cries, while
her good man was fumbling in the dark
trying to find the door. Let us hope
that the subsequent welded life of this
unfortunate couple may be happier
than its commencement.

Which?

That the average negro Is inclined to
be lazy, and that he also has keen
sense of the ludicrous, Is shown by the
following story received directly from
the lips of an old uncle" who vouches
for its truth:
"Unc' Toby" man for whom Bart
let's Creek has more attractions than
the hot and grassy cotton field, not long
ago took day off" in pursuit Of his IA
vorite amusement. He baited his hook,
and long and patiently sat upon the
bank of the stream, vainly waiting for
bite. At last, under the combined
influence of the warmth of the day and
the sluggish movements of the stream,
Une' Toby fell asleep.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
trout, and while our weary angler
slept, an enormous fish took the bait
and pulled him into the creek.
OF course this awakened the old man.
and he was overheard to inquire, as he
fioundered about in the water:
"For de lords sake, Toby, am dis
aiggah a-ashin', or am dis fish a-nig'
germ"

Mnine,s Winter Mosnuitoes.

feet of snow on level out of doors,

course it didn't seem possible that mos

ton. They come from the cellar. We
have 'em all winter long. It's the lights
at night that bring 'emupstairs. They're

Lifeboat Propelled by Pumps.

While the propulsion of boats by
jets of water thrown from them to the
rear or to the front may not be econ
omical under ordinary conditions, it
has proved decidedly satisfactory in
lifeboat service, where screw prOpel-
lers and paddle wheels are alike in
admissible. The first boat Of this sort
has been in service at Harwich, Eng,
for three years, and during that time
she has been out twenty-eight times,
and has saved fifty-one lives. Her sue
cess has led to the construction Of q
second boat on the same general style,
for which the plans were prepared by
the eminent yacht designer, G. L. Wat
son, who is trying to lay down lines
for cutter to take back the Queens
cup to England. The new llfeboat is
SO feet long, 16 feet in the beam, and
has depth Of 512 feet. Steam is
raised in multitubular boiler and is
piped to q compound engine of 225
indicated horse power, driving two
centrifugal pumps, one on each side
of the boat. These pumps draw their
supply of water from an inlet directly
below the center Of the boat, and are
arranged so that they can throw pow
erful streams ahead, back or to either
side, there being six ports in all. The
boat is called the City of Glasgow, and
has been stationed at Harwich in place
of the former boat, which has been
sent to New Brighton. On some recent
trials it was found that by means of
one of the stern jets alone, without
rudder, the boat could be turned in
the open sea in little over five min
utes, while, with both stern jets in
operation, the boat could be turned
with the rudder in about minute
and a half While going ahead at full
speed she can be brought to dead
stop and started astern in twenty sec

Indicate as surely as any physical symp-
tom shows anything, that the organs
and tissues Of the body are not satisfied
with their nourlshment.
They draw their sustenance from the
blood, and if the blood is thin, impure,
or insufficient, they are in a state OF re-
volt. Their complaints are made to
the brain, the king of the body, through
the nervous system, and the result Of
the general dissatisfaction is what we
call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable eXplana-
tion Of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have the
healthful nourishment they crave Ner-
vousness and Weakness will then give
way to strength and health,
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements Of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.

Bread and Trnhoid Fever.

A serious note of alarm was struck
last summer by Surgeon Major Rennie,
of the English army, who sent com
munication to Il London medical jour
nal, showing that typhoid fever was
spread at Meerut, in India, by half
baked, doughty plumcakes, eaten by the
soldiers of the English army at that
station, where impure water was used
in making the dough. A month later
Drs. Waldo and Welsh published their
experiments on the temperature at
which bread is baked and carefully
recorded the bacteria found in British
breads.

TOO BAD.

A Modern Young Woman Who Was In-
 gloriousty Checked In Her Career.
 It was perfect October day. Nature had bedecked the woodland in gold md brown tints. The panorama which 1t pre- sented as l rode my wheel along the wood ed road was one of sublime grandeur. Emerging from the crossroad, found my self on the way to the nearest town. Sud denly heard slight noise behind me, and looking over my shoulder beheld feminine form on bicycle approaching at a breakneck pace. She was leaning far over the handle bars and was unutterably unmindful of my presence. Al this point the road is rough and narrow-in fact, only about wide enough for the passage of an ordinary four wheeled vehiole-and as was confident the approaching wheel. woman had not noted my presence gave a loud cough ro attract her attention. S
 But It was too late. Not being more than 30 feet behind, she looked up in dazed sort oi way, tried to turn quickly to the left, struck rough spot In the road, and ID another moment had fallen side ways from her wheel into the ditch, her machine making a revolution or two Tn the air before finding its final resting place 20 feet beyond
