TO RAISE THE MAINE,
As THE JoURNAL has given some Of
the wonderful facts in reference to
liquid air, its readers will no doubt be
interested in the fact that this wonder
ful new discovery will now be used as
lever to raise the sunken warship in
Havana harbor.
A few weeks ago mention was made Of
the project TO float the wreck Of the bat
tle-thip Maine by the aid Of liquid air,
but the manner Of applying this new
physical agent was not very clearly de
scIibed. According TO the proposal Of
the persons who wish to raise the
Maine, they will surround the wreck
with two rows Of ordinary two-inch
pipe, 10 inches apart, closed at the
lower end, and forced down into the
slime and mud as far ne possible, a sort
Of double picket fence. Sand bags 20
feet long and 10 inches wide, with eye.
hooks on one end, will be strung on the
pipes, rnd lowered in pairs and stacked

She,d HnI Enonrh-

There was 4 cOlOred baptizing at
Sandy Bottom. Billville. The last CON
vert to go under the water was an old
cOlOred woman, who all the while had
been seated in a rickety buggy drawn
by an ancient mule who had been
through the civil war.
She came up out of the water all
right, but after proceeding a short dis
tance on her way home the mule be-
came unmanageable and upset the bug
gy in the middle of a deep creek.
The old woman, with drenched gar
ments, clung to foot log just as the
parson who had recently baptized her
rode up.
He heard her swearing at the refrac-
tory mule in vigorous terms; then, TAX
ing her in his own buggy and driving
to dry land, he said:
"Sister Ca'line, you hez done los all
de salvation what come ter you by de
fust BAPTISM; so you must stop right
heah en- be baptized over ergin."
''NO, suh!" was the reply. Il amt

English Red Tape,

At the present time, when the system
of red tape is being attacked and rid
iculed. the following somewhat anus
ing methods of dealing with matters
are still adopted in one Of the great
government departments.
For instance, a hairbrush and comb
must be purchased under the head of
service clothing" whereas a tooth
brush is under fuel and spectacles
under medicines" 4 clothesbasket
is clothing" but clothes pegs are in
cidentals." The funniest of all, how
ever, are guanO and straw, they being
purchased under 'victualing."
A good instance of red tape is told in
connection with the excise. An officer
had entered in the inquiry column of
his return: March 13. Dog dead"
This did not satisfy his superior. who
told him to inquire again. which the
Obedient officer did, recording: April
10. Dog still dead."-London Stand.

The Hat and the Title.

There is an amusing English defini-
tion of gentleman" 1t is a man who
wears a silk hat, and if he has no other
title insists upon having Esq added TO
his name when letters are addressed to
him"
The west end LOndoner of social
pretensions accepts this definition In
practice. Summer and winter, in rain
or shine, he wears a high silk hat in
the streets of London and carries 1t
into the drawing room when he pays
an afternoon call 1t is only when he
takes a train for the provinces or for
the continent that he ventures to use
more comfortable headgear.
He also expects to have the distinc-
tiOn of esquire" when n letter is ad-
dressed to him and is highly offended
if he finds on the envelope the prefix
Mr." AS matter of fact the num-
Der of English gentlemen who are le-
gally entitled to the medieval hOnOrs
of esquire" is insignificant. 1t is q
self assumed title which signifies moth
ing that is substantial in rank or priv
ilege.
In common use in London esquire
simply means that the person so ad-
dressed does not choose to be associ-
ated with tradesmen and ordinary
working people and that he is gen
tleman" who invariably wears a silk
hat.-YOuth's Companion.

A Chinese Solomon.

Three men appeared before a judge
IN HOnan, China, and each laid claim
to the same woman as his wife. Not
one of them would retire in favor of
the other two, but each insisted that
justice should be done to him. Finally
the judge exclaimed, well, if you
three men cannot come to some agree
ment nothing remains for me but to
order that the woman shall be killed,
as there is no other way in which the
matter can be satisfactorily settled"
He then called for large cup of wine,
and when it was brought he poured in
to 1t some dark powder and compelled
the woman to drink it. Excited as she
was, the woman speedily began to feel
the effect of the strong liquor. She
stammered when she tried to speak,
and her flushed cheeks were an indica-
tiOn to the observers that the poison
was working and that her end was
near at hand.
This was the climax for which the
judge had waited. When he saw that
the woman was apparently dying. he
called one of the three men who claim
ed her as wife and bade him remove
her from the courtroom. This man,
however, showed no inclination to do
so, and the judge thereupOn insisted
that he renounce all rights to her This
he willingly did and 50 did the second
man. Only one claimant was now left,
and he agreed to remove the woman
and to care for her until she died. Sat
isfed that he was her real husband,
the judge called him and said: You
will not be sorry for acting in this
manner. Have no fear for your wife,
since she is in no danger of death. The
! liquor which she has drunk was OrGi-
nary wine, and the powder which l
poured into it was nothing but brown
sugar"

OverinduIgence In Coffee.

Coffee is a powerful irritant of the
CerebrO spinal nervous system. Re-
cent tests have shown that it increases
mental and bodily waste rather than
retards it, as has been claimed. Cof-
fee poisoning is sometimes mistaken
for the troubles engendered by the use
of alcohol. In both cases the stomach
and nervous system are the sufferers.
Caffeic and alcoholic gastritis are
nearly identical as to their symptoms
The use of coffee by children has in
several cases caused an arrest of de-
velopment. Cases have been reported
of delirium tremens brought on by the
excessive use of coffee. 1t is related
in a foreign medical journal that a
man, in the absence of his wife, un-
dertOok to make his own coffee. Not
knowing the correct proportions for
use, he took about One-quarter of a
pound of fresh roasted coffee for two
cups. Two hours aftcrward he COM
planned of vertigo, headache and, at
first, trembling of the legs only, which
soon became general, followed by sew
eral other distressing symptoms, some
of which continued a day or two
longer.
BY busy physician it is stated that
at least twO-thirds of his practice
comes from the excessive use of coffee.
The excessive use of tea and coffee,
as we'll as the use of alcoholic liquors,
often almost wholly obliterates the
sense of taste.-Health Culture.

He carefully prepared the small plot,
while his wife, deeply interested in his

she exclaimed. Then why have you
gone to all that trouble?" he answered:
''The seeds wont come up, but the

London, Jan. There is a COM
rlete absence Of any hing new from
the seat Of war. The report Of the
Boer attack upon Molteno is not yet
confirmed. Apparently Gen. French
holds nothing within five miles Of
Colesberg Junction. His request for
reenforcements dispels any present
hope that he will be able to seize one
of the crossings Of the Orange river.
It is probable that when Lord Roberts
arrives Gen. French will be ordered
10 quit his present unsupported posi-
ton and to concentrate his command
at De Aar or Orange River. AS the
Daily Telegraph says, Gen. French
"seems to be in the position of a man
having tiger cat in trap and un-
able to kill it for want of stick"
The latest advices from the Coles
berg district tend to modify the es-
innate of Gen. French's success. The
predicted occupation of Colesberg had
not been accomplished Tuesday even
ing. while the Beers guns, announced
to have been silenced, were still
active. The war office Wednesday aft
crnoon issued dispatch received from
Gen. French under. Tuesdays date,
saying his position was the same as
on the previous day, that with small
reenforcements he could dislodge the
Beers from Colesberg, and in the
meantime he continued maneuvering.
Since Commandant General Jou-
I~r ~
nonade at Ladysmith by the Beers has
been much livelier. Between Decem-
ber Is and December 20 four shells
killed one officer and 13 men. and
wounded 13 officers and II men.

Fatal Fl0uli.A.

New York, Jan. 2.-Fire early this
(Tuesday) morning in the double tene-
ment at Forty-second street and First
avenue resulted in a panic among the
20 families which occupied the build
ing and the death of at least two per-
sons, and possibly more. The victims
were children of Edward Leonard, aged
one and five years. Mrs. Leonard was so
badly injured that it is feared she may
not survive, while John Keller, II years
old, the hero of the fire, is also in pre-
carious condition. Keller went to the
top floor, arousing all the tenants and
aiding in the work of rescue. He stayed
too long, and was burned about the
hands and face, and was taken to Belle
vue hospital. The house was gutted,
entailing a loss of $4,000.
