Baltimore, Oct 81.-Capt. Richardson of
schooner S. G. Haskell, from Orchilla, re-
ports last Sunday, 80 miles SSE of HATTIE

small pieces of wood, freshly charred by
fire. A number of nuts were picked up
some OF which had been slightly burned
They were fresh and sound, evidently not
long in water. On the previous day there
was a moderate gale of wind; was two
hours among the cocoanuts, and they
spread over an area of five miles; all wood
sighted was burned black.

The Family Umbrella.
Walter Besant in the Queen

The real old family umbrella has gone
out Call that slim, stuck up, effected, at
tenuated thing a family umbrella? Go
away.
remember the genuine family umbrella;
it was kept in readiness behind every
front door; 1t was large, portly, heavy
instrument. AS an emblem of respecta-
bility it was highly esteemed in middle
class society; it was serviceable as tent
in rainy weather, it could be used as
weapon Of offense and defense on occa-
sion.
have seen a picture of an elderly gem
tleman keeping off a footpad by means of
this lethal umbrella. He made as II he
would spear or prod the william. Why,
one prod would alone make a hole of six
inches diameter in that murderous car
cass.
The nurse used to carry 1t, with diff
Guilty managing the baby and the UNI
brela; 1t went out to tea with the young
ladies; the maid who fetched" them home
took the umbrella with her. It succeeded
the lantern and the club formerly carried
by the prentice when he escorted his mis-
tress to the card party after dark.
1 remember it, say There were three
brothers who came to the same school
where l was but tiny little boy. They
lived at some distance. and had to pass
on their way to school through a stratum
of inferior responsibility. Every morning
brought to these three brothers the de-
light and the excitement Of battle with
the boys belonging TO that Inferior respec-
liability.
To the eldest brother, who carried the
really important weapon, the umbrella
was exactly what his battle-ax was to the
Lion Heart. SO he raised II; so he WELD
ed 1t; 50 he swung It; so he laid his enc
mics low to right and to left Of him; be-
fore him and behind him; while the other
two, relying on the books tightly strapped
brought them to bear, with shrewd
knocks and thwacks and poundings, on
heads and shoulders and ribs.
Twas a famous family umbrella, green
too, II I remember Alright.

GOLD IN TEETH.
Quantities of the yellow Metal Ham
mered Into Jaws.

mereu into Jaws.
From the Washington Star.
81 cannot form a very accurate idea of
the amount of gold used in gold leaf and
gold foil in this country" said a manu-
facturer of this material" but it is big
quantity. Probably dentist could give
you better idea than can. Gold foil Is
used almost entirely by dentists in filing
teeth; gold leaf is used in gliding, book
binding and operations of that sort, be-
sides the show that is made of acres ana
acres of gilded signs spread before the
public in one way and another.
The quantity of gold used in gold leaf
is at least twice as great as that used ~
foil, in spite of the fact that the leaf Is
so much thinner than the foil. A skilled
man can hammer out twenty ounces of
gold foil in a day, while it will take him a
week to make two ounces of gold leaf, be-
cause it Is so much thinner This work has
always been done by hand, probably al
ways will be. A single thickness of gold
foil, such as dentists use-to the ordinary
observer that seems thin enough, in all
conscience-will make an entire book or
gold leaf"
How much gold foil do the dentists
user" 1 inquired.
well, y. he replied, Il should think that
they use on an average about fifty cents
worth of gold per cavity, as teeth go.
Some are bigger, some are smaller. This
BOTTLE" and he held up a vial such as den
lists keep their gold foil in, holds some
"a worth of foil, and that would make
about eight filings of the average size"
If the average cavity bored out by the
Industrious American dentist with such
extreme discomfort to the suffering pa
tient contains fifty cents worth of gold,
how much gold do all the millions of cav
tiles so constructed employ?
In one way and another it is probable
that something like 100000 of the great
American people are running around on
their usual business with 800, 100000
worth of gold slowed away In 200,00O0O0
Jagged little caves mined painfully into
their respective teeth with hooks and buzz
saws and jiggers of one sort and another,
working by foot lathe and by hand
pounded in with little triphammers, rub
Der off with sandpaper, and cleaning
bright through the stubble of unshaven
lips and chins or from parted lips of
smiling beauty
This is big quantity of gold. 1t would
make between fifteen and twenty wagon
loads, at ton q load. 1t would melt up
into four cubes each two feet in width,
depth and hight. Or, If nodded into one
gigantic tooth, one of the three-pronged
fellows that growl so when removed from
their accustomed places, that tooth would
be ten feet high. A slenderer front tooth,
twelve or thirteen feet high, could be built
from the same gold.

THE PLIMSOLL MARK.
A Device That Has Saved Hundreds
of Lives and Much Property.

From St. Nicholas.
If you ever walk around the waterfront
Of large commercial city and look close
ly at the big ocean steamships and sailing
ships moored along the wharves, you will
notice that many of them have a white
circle and lot Of white lines marked on
their sides close to the water, almost as if
some bad boy had been chalking a picture
there Of a griddle-cake and gridiron; but
when you find that hundreds of ships
are marked just the same way, those paint
ed light colors having the marks in black,
you know that those marks really mean
something of Importance in connection
with the ships on which you see them. If
you should notice more closely you would
soon discover that all the ships belonging
to Great Britain, even the magnificent pas
senger steamers like the "Lucania" and
'reutonic," were marked with those queer
signs, and that ships of no other nation
had them. If you were TO ask some sailor
what the mark meant he would tell you
briefly that 1t is the "Plimsoll Mark" and
you would be no wiser than before; in far t,
he probably would not know much mo,
than that bare fact himself
That ugly mark, however Is the safe
guard to hundreds Of vessels on the stormy
ocean, ana 10 thousands OF lives, and TO
millions of dollars worth Of freight 1t
has only been in use about twenty years.
only properly used for the last ten years,
and is still adopted by only one great sea-
faring nation In all the world.
Twenty-Five years ago 1t was no I'M
common thing for ships TO go out to sea
laden with valuable cargo and hopeful
human beings never to be seen or heard
OF again. People on shore. even the own
ers of the cargoes and relatives of the
passengers, would take it as something
they must be prepared to expect on ac-
count Of the dangers OF the ocean. Fin
ally, one man determined 20 make a
study Of the subject, and see II such terri
BILE tragedies were really unavoidable.
He was an inhexible Englishman, named
Plimsoll, and member OF parliament.

troubled with pifnples, blotches and
eruptive skin diseases. These condi-
tons generally arise from one of two
causes, or from a combination of both.
Either the digestion is out of order and
the blood impure, or there is weakness
or disease of the organs distinctively
feminine. Ninety-nine per cent. of all
the sickness of women comes from
these two causes, and so ninety-nine per
cent. of all woman's sickness may be
cured by the medicines that will cure
these causes. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
