What an Ocean Steamship Carries.

The famous steamship Great Eastern,
historically associated with the first
efforts to lay Atlantic telegraph cables,
has hitherto been regarded as the
largest vessel ever launched. Its
laurels as a sea leviathan, however,
are of late endangeredJ The new
ocean f%reighter Pennsylvania, although
scarcely attaining the external meas
urements Of the former celebrated
ship, will carry far more cargo. The
capacity, indeed, Of these new freight
ships is a matter for establishment to
a landsman.
The Pennsylvania, for example, is
rated at twenty thousand tons burden,
and will carry loads such as may be
briefly itemized thus
100000 bushels of wheat in bulk,
equal to three hundred and twenty
carloads, or sixteen trains Of twenty
cars each.
1000 tons of -four, eighty carloads.
1900 boxes of bacon, sev%enty-ive
carloads.
5000 t%ierces Of lard, ~forty-eight
carloads.
1900 bales of cotton, forty car
loads.
1900 head Of live cattle, eighty
carloads.
$500 quarters of dressed beef.
In addition there will probably be a
thousand tons of miscellaneous mer-
chandise, say eighty carloads more
in all not less than seven hundred and
eighty carloads, or thirty-nine long
trains of twenty cars each.
Nor is the above by any means the
entire load Of this modern ark. The
Pennsylvania will have accommoda.
tions for from eight hundred to one
thousand steerage passengers, as also
for a crew of one hundred and fifty
cattlemen, with food and fodder fol
all.
In the fuel bins, too, there will be
carried a burden of 1900 tons Of coal,
or more than one hundred carloads.
If we were to say that the entire
agricultural product Of sixty New
England towns, or twenty Western
counties, could all be slowed away in
this mammoth ship, we should not
exceed the facts.

- The United States census gives
the number of deaths from alcoholism
in 1880 as 1892; in 1890, 1857, an
increase of 81 per cent. If the same
ratio has been maintained during the
past seven years, the present annual
death rate from alcoholism is nearly
1000.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There Is
only one way TO cure deafness (, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh. which
is nothing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrn Cure. Send

True Story of Dick Turpin's Ride.

A highwayman named Nevison, or
Nicks, as he Is more generally known,
had u blood mare, u splendid bay, whose
courage and endurance were such that
Nicks determined by means OF these quail
ties to prove an alibi in case of danger.
About O'Clock upon certain morning
he robbed a traveller OH the road near Gads-
hill, then turned and rode straight off to
Gravesend. Ho was obliged to wait there
an hour for boat, and he made the best
uso of this time by batting his mare.
Then crossing the water, he dashed across
Essex full tilt to Chelmsford, where he rest.

balls. Then he mounted again and dashed
on to Bramborough, Booking and Wether-
field, fast across the downs to Cambridge
Quick by roads and across country no slip

to Fenny Stratford, where he baited the
good mare and took a quick half hours
sleep. Then once more along the north
road until the cathedral grow up over tho
horizon larger, larger, and whiz ho darted
through York gnte. In moment he had
led the jaded marc into an inn stable,
snapped up some food and In fresh green
velvet dress and gold lace strolled out gay
and calm to the bowling green, then full
of company. The lord mayor of tho city
happened to be there. Nicks sauntered up
to him and asked him tho hour. "A quar-
ter to g." said the lord mayor graoiously.
"Your most obedient," returned Nicks,
with n profound bow.
Later, when Nicks was apprehended and
tried for the Gadshill robbery, the prose.
outor swore to the man, the horse, tho
place and the hour, but Nicks brought the
lord mayor of York to prove an alibi. and
tho jury promptly acquitted tho resolute
and sagaoious thief.-Harpor's Round Ta.

Mary Reilly is one of the most Won
derful girls Of the century. She is GER
tainly the most puzzling. Through her
mentality, it is, claimed, lost soul
communicates with a world where 1t
once dwelt in the flesh, and reveals the
conditions under which it now exists.
Its melancholy utteranaes turn the
blood to Ice. They are arearier and
more despairing than cries of Prom
etheus, bound to the side of frosty Cau-
casus, with nothing in prospect through
time and eternity save endless and al
most unbearable suffering. This lost
soul seems to speak through the frail
body of this wonderful girl. and even
she does not understand the process
nor the source of her power. Material
lists are outwitted by her demonstra-
tions. Spiritualists are delighted. Her
exhibitions surpass anything previous
ly known In their philosophy. Nobody
who has witnessed them doubts the
genuineness of her power. Skeptics
who have investigated say there is not
the slightest trace Of deceit in her man
ifestations, either on her part or the
part of those under whose auspices the
exhibitionS are given. She has con-
founded the wise and temporarily set
at naught the arguments OF those who
have no faith in spiritualistic teach
ings. She is mystery. Miss Reilly
resides at Sioux City, Ia. Her family
Is well known in that city. She is
10 years old, bright and well educated
None of her family are spiritualists
and the discovery of her apparently
wonderful ability to communicate with
the spirit world was made purely by
accident. Miss Reilly was born at
Crete. Neb.. and is the youngest of n
family of six, all of whom are living.
Both father and mother were of Irish
parentage, and the children were
brought up in the Catholic faith. Sew
