NAvIES OF THE WORLD.
Relative Sea strength of the Great
Naval Powers.

A parliamentary paper was late
ly issued in England containing
particulars of the naval strength
of the world at the beginning of
September last. Grouping to-
gether the ships in commission
and reserve, with those building
and completing for sea, the
following shows the numerical
strength of the six leading naval
powers:

The difficulty and interest of the game
are much increased by placing limit
upon the number of letters which the
word shall contain. The party of young
people referred to above limited the num-
Der to eight. This, of course, makes it
more difficult to find a word that will
puzzle the guessers.
Two prizes are usually awarded-one
number of words correctly, and the other
to the one who has given the greatest
number of words that have puzzled the
guessers for five minutes cr more.
Although no proper names and no OBJ
solete words are allowed, and words
likely to be unknown to the average in
telligent reader are generally excluded,
there are sure to be many puZZlerS in the
course of an evening.
Occasionally a simple word, whose first
three letters are accompanied by a depre-
eating "Of course you'll all guess this in
a second, proves stumbling block for
ten minutes. This is often caused by the
fact that the first three letters of the
word do not give correct idea of the
pronunciation of it's first syllable to the
hearer.
"B-e-a" puzzled a group of bright peo-
pie who were much amused when it at
last appeared that beau" had been in
the propounder's mind. Can after
much guessing, elongated into ''canoe, y
and ''p-u-r" into purity" The shortest
and most ordinary words often prove
the most puzzling, owing to some pecu-
liarity of their formation.-Ph Philadelphia

..rrilby,, wakes Up John Bun.

Our English cousins did not take very
strongly to '.Trilbyn when that novel
was first put upon the market. The
English critics, who are a very clever and
high-salaried lot of gentlemen, instantly
announced with suddenness of percep-
ton and immobility of conviction peculiar
to the British isle, that there was really
nothing in the book, and the British pub
lie, which had been waiting with strained
ear to catch the manifesto of the critics,
at once came to the same conclusion.
Shortly afterwards the work became ex-
tremely popular in America, and when
they heard this the British critics and the
British public threw their hats up IN
the air and exclaimed aloud in frenzy
of JOY and self-congra tulation:
"Did not we say long ago that there
was nothing in "Trilby? And is it
not now proved that we were right? The
Great American public has approved OF
Trilby' The great American public
never approves of anything that is
worthy of APPROVAL therefore, oh, it is
so plain, 'Trilby' is trashy
But now two years have passed. and
the sad news is flashed over the cable
that the discerning British public and
critics have succumbed They now
acknowledge '"Trilby" as their queen.
They have the ''Trilby" craze. They
wear Trilby shoes. They give Trilby
teas. The women buy Trilby carriers.
The concert halls are all giving Trilby

DEATH FROM LoCKJAW.
Caused by Running a Splinter Under
Finger Nail.

Caused by Running Splinter Under a
Finger Nail.
Florence Mack, aged years, died at
Detroit of lockjaw on Christmas day.
On the previous Saturday Miss Mack
reached down into waste paper basket
in her room, as she did SO small splin-
ter ran under her thumb nail. The fam
ily physician removed the bit Of wood
and told her to poultice the thumb on re-
turning home, but she was busy and dis
regarded the instruction. Sunday she
visited her grandmother, and that night
she felt ill., Next morning her indisposi-
ton had increased, and shortly before
noon she became unconscious in which
condition she remained until she expired.
Lockjaw is one of the mysterious dis
eases which have so far baffied medical
science. In cold climates it appears to
result from wound affecting a nerve
center. wounds Of the palm of the hand
and the sole of the foot being most COM
mon, and wounds of the head coming
next. In hot climates the disease often
makes it's appearance without any ap-
parent exciting cause.
Hours. days and sometimes even
weeks may elapse before the dangerous
symptoms manifest themselves. Then
the patient is taken with chill and a
stiffness is felt in certain Of the muscles.
Those of the face are usually affected
first and the jaws become rigidly closed.
hence the name of the disease.
Cramps are felt in the stomach and
chest and one by one the muscles are af-
fected until the patient becomes rigid.
Breathing is obstructed and unless the
violent tension of the muscles can be re-
Taxed by treatment, the patient sue
cumbs to exhaustion. The nerve centers
which govern the refexes are concerned.
and the seat of the disease is hard to
reach. The symptoms of the disease are
almost identical with hydrophobia and
it is no doubt often miscalled So violent
are the spasms in some acute cases that
the muscles are torn asunder by their
own tension.

THE COURT OF HONOR.
Arbitration Takes the Place of Duelin
in the South.

Arbitration Takes the Place of Dueling
in the South.
Congressman Boatner, editor of the
Monroe News, and Maj. Hearsey, editor
of the New Orleans Daily States, have
severally retracted the evil statements
made of and concerning one another.
Peace once more reigns in Louisiana.
In the South a mans honor is no longer
carried in his hip pocket, or strapped to
a belt Time has been when gentlemen
walked out of dewy morning and shot
off questions in debate. 1t is not now
held absolutely necessary for a man to
support his views with siX-shoOter. 1t
has come to be a recognized fact that
the validity of ones opinions in nowise
depend upon the correctness of his aim.
A person may think as logically as a
chief justice and yet shoot no straighter
than woman can throw brick. The
court of honor, latter day revival Of an
ancient custom, has done much to pre-
serve intact the physique of the South
ern chivalry. Friends of the parties to
the discussion-those who would have
officiated as seconds thirty years ago
get together, discuss the. matters in dis
pute, arrange a compromise and finally
draw up statement for both principals
to sign. This, as it should. declares
that both gentlemen were III error in
asserting the things complained of; all
hard feelings are dlSSlpated and all trOu-
BILE is off. The two personal represent
atives, together with third person, one
who is mutual but wholly disinterested
friend constitute the court. The third
member of the tribunal is the important
figure. In questions upon which the
other two cannot come together, his de-
cision is absolute, final. The principals
in the quarrel, having submitted the
cause to the court, are bound in honor
to accept the decision. There is no means
of escaping the judgment; no avenue for
withdrawal. The apology, retraction or
explanation prescribed must be made.
The refusal of either party to the af-
fair to abide by the finding of the court
would simply leave him with three fights
on his hands instead of one. It is to the
beneficial operation of the court of honor
that Congressman Boatner owes life and
limb; Maj. Hearsey is similarly indebted
to the mild institution of arbitration
Honor is satisfied and the Louisiana
communities are not holding funerals or
taking sides in the fight.

Sending I'M the Ciaret.

An important feature in captive balloon
work is the method of communication be-
tween the balloon and the earth. This
is absolutely provided for in theory by
means of an insulated telephone wire in
the core Of the steel rope. In practice,
however, owing to the vibration, the
noise of the cordage, ETC., it is found
to be more certain. and convenient to
send written messages in small canvas
bags, which clip on the rope, snd
run down by the force of gravity. A
message can be sent up, in ordinary
weather, by simply shouting, while if it
be required to send up any light arti-
cles, they can be placed in bag at,
tache6 to small balloon, which, being
clipped on to the wire rope, runs up to
the captive at once. There is a frivo-
lous story to the effect that at a certain
inspection, the thing which most interest
ed the great parsonage who was inspect,
ing the troops, was seeing bottle of
claret and some luncheon sent up to
the occupants of a captive balloon by
this ans-Macmillan' Magazine.

PEcULIARITIES OF LIGHTNING.
Clothing Removed Without Injury to the
Wearer.

Clothing Removed Without Injury to the
Wearer.
Persons struck by lightning have had
small holes drilled in the skull, but other
wise they were not marked Victims
membered. A stroke of lightning has
cut off a mans ear, or shaved his hair
and beard clean, and not hurt him in
any other way. The markings are often
curious Blue is the common color, but
they have been red, green and black, and
occasionally the whole body turns black.
Negroes who have bee;: struck by light
ming have had their skin bleached in
spots to absolute whiteness. One negro
struck by lightning found, after he had
recovered consciousness. that he had one
completely white arm, the rest Of his
body being as black as usual. Blindness,
deafness, and either total or partial par
alySis. are frequent consequences of
lightning strokes. Sometimes the light
ming selects a single object on a mans
person, and assails that without appar-
emily touching the man himself. Coins
have been melted until they stuck to-
gether in mans pocket, while he suf-
fered no i'll consequences KEYS.
watches and watch-chalns, metal cart
ridges, and eyeglass frames have been
more or less damaged, while the persons
wearing them were almost uninjured
Clothing, too, has been almost demol-
ished without injury to it's wearer. Iron
tacks have been pulled out of shoes, and
rubber boots destroyed frequently. The
brass eyeletS were once torn out of a

Ofthe Old school.

Here is a new story about the late
Frederick Douglass, contributed to his
tory by John I. Wise Of Virginia. A
prominent gentleman of that state was
travelling with the colored orator, and
their business brought them in contact
with Col Dinwiddie, Virginia gentle.
man of the old school. Col. Dinwiddie, Z
said he, "allow me to introduce my
friend, Mr.. Frederick Douglass. You
must have heard Of him."
The colonel put his hands behind him
as Mr.. Douglass stepped forward and
extended his. Douglass" said the Vir-
ginian, II am glad to see you. But you
will excuse me; have made it a rule of
my life never to shake hands with mig
gers
ooh, certainly said Douglass, II am
an ex-slave and know the prejudices
of the old slave-owners."
There was some further conversation
and then Douglass said to the courtly
son of the Old Dominion: ''By the way,
colonel we are just going to take a
drink. Will you join us?"
The old gentleman hesitated. cleared
his throat and replied: "Well, Douglass,
l have made it another rule of my life
never to refuse to take drink, l don't
mind if I do"

No Place for Americans.

Robert Perry, a Chicago contractor,
who has been spending two months in
johannesburg, South Africa, says: II
want to warn Americans to keep away
nothing to go there for. The climate is
unNeaithful, living is e1orbitantly high,
ana the people who are. there are almost
in starving condition Negroes do all
the work in the mines. which are all
owned by Barnato and Rhodes. The
place is a desert, where scarcely any
thing grows, and there is water famine
most of the time Every imaginable
thing is taxed heavily. Even Pretoria's
own paper has printed a warning to the
world to keep away from the place. The
people who have lived there ten or IF
teen years are away behind the times.

Curious Postal Regulations in England
and Woman's Sacrifice.

Curious Postal Regulations in England
and WOman's Sacrifice.
Most of the postal clerks in the small
er offices in England are women. Can
didates must pass an examination. One
of the regulations, according to a Paris
paper, is that no one shall be employed
who has not sound teeth, no matter how
fit in other ways for the post. The rea-
son for this regulation is shrouded in
mystery. To comply with this rule an
English woman the other day exhibited
a strange heroism. Having passed the
other tests, the dentist reported against
the condition of her teeth, his affidavit
stating that two of her molars were quite
hollow and that twelve others were in
various stages Of decay. Without hest
tation the fair candidate hurried to the
nearest dentists shop, and at a single
sitting had extracted the fourteen teeth
that threatened to terminate her official
career before it had fairly begun: Armed
with a fresh certificate, testifying that
her remaining teeth were sound and in
good condition. she again applied for
employment sand was appointed.
