The United States cruiser Bancroft,
which has sailed for Constantinople,
is trim little boat, but is by no means
a terror. 1t is not the intention of the
government to terrorize the sultan by
sending warship into his harbor, but
merely to signify by its presence there
that Uncle Sam is not neglecting his
interests in that country. The moral
effect, SO called, is all that is desired.
Minister Terrell believes he can per-
suade the Turk to allow the boat to
enter the harbor, although there is
doubt as to his ability in that direc-
ton. The Bancroft sailed under
sealed orders She was laid down in
1891 at Elizabeth, N. j., by the Moore

A Black Forest Wedding.

1t Is u large square room, with plastered

three coarse colored prints. 1t Is only fur

THE INCEPTION OF PRINTING.

How Others Got Fame and Wealth from
Gutenberg's Invention.
In Gutenberg's time the city of Prague
was famous for it's manufactures and me.
chanical inventions. In the books OF the
university several Gutenbergs are entered,
and among them is John, who may rea.
sonably be supposed To be our inventor
After the failure of his first printing press
he seems to have returned to Prague for
the purpose of improving himself in me-
chanical invention. But the history of
his first printing press Is interesting. He
hired room in Strasburg and proceeded
to carry out his idea of multiplying block
books by means of movable wooden type.
These books were very numerous and in
great demand, and Gutenberg's intention
was To manufacture them in considerable
quantity for sale ut the approaching sep
tennial fair at Aix-la-Chapollo In order
to conceal his purpose when his employ
ment was inquired into he took advantage
of u double meaning, and said that he. was
manufacturing mirrors or looking glasses
for sale at tho fair, some of the block books
being known rs specua, such as the
"Speculum Salvationis." Gutenberg Dor
rowcd money of II family named Dritzehn
and one of them entered into partnership
with him.
At first Gutenberg taught tho art Of cut
ling and polishing gems, but Dritzehn and
friend Of his, one Helmann, noticed that
he worked i'm secret at some other art, but
before Gutenberg would reveal 1t he re-
quired fresh terms, which were granted.
The affairs of the partnership did not pro-
coed well. Drtzchn died, and his rcla-
tions in 1889 brought an action against
Gutenberg for the recovery OF the money
advanced by them.
Gutenberg attempted to form his type
by casting, but the casts were not sharp
enough, for printing. He consulted a
worker in metals (Fust of Mayence), who
at once Jaw the value of tho invention
and advanced money to Gutenberg on the
strength of it. Fust's apprentice, Peter
Schoffcr, overcame the difficulty, and his
master made him his partner and son-in.
law, and the two men, ignoring Guten-
berg, appropriated his invention and thus
obtained fame and wealth.-Notes and

Late News.

After an extended argument in the An
drews VS. the Tamarack case Judge Hub
bell decided to let the case go to the Jury.
MIR. Gray's position in the argument was
that the company's vice-principal, Capt.
Maslin, did not consider the place dan
gerous in which the plaintiffs husband
was afterward killed, but that the orders
given by HIM simply related to what the
timber gang should do toward preparing
the stope for the usual battery OF timber.
There being no danger apprehended by
Capt. Maslin, then the case OF the plain
tiff, as indicated in Attorney Riley's ar
gument, was no case at all. 1t was this
question OF disputed evidence that took
the case to the jury and 1t was the prin-
clpal point argued upon by both sides all
day yesterday.
The case was aiterward given to the
jury, who retired to their room at 4
o'clock and at 8 o'clock brought In a
verdict for the plaintiff Tor $l2.393.

How to Go Up and Down stat.

Very many diseases are brought ON and
others are aggravated by going up and
down stairs In an incorrect faohion. Few
people go up stairs in seDnible and ra-
tional way. 1t is the custom to rest the
weight on the ball Of the foot and give u
little spring TO the next step. This Is not
only hard work, but Is Nm unnecessary
strain on the muscles, opd very OK hausting
to delicate people. Citing up In this way
Is bad enough, but going down In the GUS
tomary manner Is IA thousand times worse.
To bounce from ono step to another, strik-
Ing the weight Oh one or both feet, Is al.
most certain to produce serious disease.

THE SNAKE WAS THERE.
But What Was the Sense That Gave the
Alarm To Miss j.?

How Miss j. came to suspect the snake
she herself cannot tell whit better than
you or l. She Is no spritualist-you may
drive nail into that. She Is neither i'm
aginative nor hysterical-an exceptionally
hard headed, practical woman, an evangel-
ical church member and devoted to domes-
tic labors and needlework. i have the
story straight from her own lips.
She and her friend, Miss W., keep house
by themselves I'm neat tenement on one
of our best streets. Upon this particular
evening Miss W. was away, so Miss j. did
not put up her sewing work until after 10
o'clock. She had no sooner blown out the
light and crept into bed than she was seized
with most frightful, ungetridable i'm
preston that there was a snake some where
about the premises. She tried to laugh
herself out of the absurd notion, for who
ever heard OF snake in "a house In the
town of Dexter, in the county of Penob-
scot, in the state of MaineY But never
theless sleep was impossible.
Now, Miss j. Is not given TO waiting on
whims and fancies, so she sprang some
what impatiently out OF bed, struck
light and began vigorous search-under
the pillows, under the bed, under the bu-
reau, under the rugs, into the sitting
room, unuer the SOFA, Denlnu tne organ
everywhere but no snake.
Back to bed she went, but the within
was not satisfied. Something still insisted
that the snake was there. In spite OF
reason and common sense she revolved
continually i'm her mind whether she could
have overlooked any possible hiding place
for the imaginary reptile.
Suddenly, after the fashion of old lady
Nickleby, forgotten umbrella presented
itself that had been left standing in a cor
ner Of the sitting room. So up again In
the dark she got, CROPPED her way along the
wall, Ringerly gripped the suspected UNI
brella, flung IL out into the kitchen and
hurriedly shut the door.
The next morning, when she set about
getting break fast, almost the first thing
she saw was small but altogether genn
inc and lively snake wriggling on the
shelf by the water pail. How 1t came there
| she never knew, but how 1t left she can
| tell with vivid explicitness testifying to
