A Colossal Warehouse.



Liverpool has just completed the building
of a new tobacco warehouse, which, until
Chicago carries out its characteristic scheme
for block of commercial buildings mile
long, will be the largest erection Of the kind
in the world. The new building the
banks Of the Mersey is a gigantic affair,
constructed by the dock board in order to
provide central accommodation for the stor-
age Of the tobacco Of the port. Within ten
years the tobacco stock Of Liverpool has
doubled itself. and now reaches the figure
Of 1OO,O46 hogsheads, against only 39,971
hogsheads in London, the center Of the uni
verse.
Hitherto several immense warehouses have
been utilized for the storage of LiverpoOlS
bonded tobacco, but the remarkable devel
opment Of the trade has led to the building,
at a cost of $500 600, of the new giant,
where the latest improvements in the way
Of machinery and stowage accommodation
have been introduced. The new building is
725 feet long, 165 feei wide and 1SO feet high.
1t has cellars, wilderness of a landing
capable of holding 800 hogsheads The
total storage capacity of the building will
be better appreciated when it is stated that
90, OOOO pounds of the fragrant weed can
be comfortably put away within it's tower
ing walls. The money value of the pile
when 1t Is full of tobacco would make
dozens Of pauperS milionaires. The ware
houses would hold the famous st. Georges
Hall and a few music halls as well. 1t has
thirty-six acres Of floor space, and consti-
tutes one Of the landmarks of the city,

Mounted Men in Africa.
From BlackwOod's Magazine,

Here are the horses tethered by their
head-riems in double rows of ropes
stretched taut between two posts. Shaggy,
understood. under-conditioned, coarse joint
ed. and with heavy pendent heads though
they be, they can carry eighteen stone over
thirty miles Of rough country and be fit for
work the following day. Near them, his
rifle between his crossed legs, his arms rest
ing 1imply on his knees, sits on tussock Of
grass the sentry Of the stable guard, and
sleepily watches the wreaths of blue smoke
as they curl upward from the pipe between
his lips. He has not shaved for a month.
and his ablutions have been, to say the
least Of 1t, perfunctory. On the back of his
head rests tattered and shapeless apology
for the colonial flap hat we have learned TO
know so well. He has no coat, and his gray
army shirt-the sleeves rolled up above the
elbows and the neck turned in to the breast
bone-exposes his hairy and sun-tanned
skin. From his belt hangs. besides his bay
onet. the inevitable bag Of TransvaaI to-
bacco. leather bandolier crosses his
shoulder, while boots. innocent of brush or
backing, and breeches and putties that
may once have been khaki. complete his ap-
parel. The switch dangling from the list
less right hand Is for the purposes of disci-
pline. for the unpicketed heels of his
charges are only too prone to take each and
every opportunity Of beating a tattoo on the
ribs OF their nearest neighbor.

Vaccination at Home,
From the New York Times.


Don't / remember when I was yacci-
nated!' says woman who believes that
one experience in a lifetime, If 1t is as in
teresting as hers, is enough MY mother
vaccinated me. and it took with such a
vengeance that the whole town in which we
lived came to be vaccinated with the virus,
and my mother did it. 1 really can feel now
just how it hurt when the scab was lifted.
1 got so 1 would start off on the run every
time I saw woman and child coming
down the lane.
Il was only seven years old then and I
was not interested in ameiorating the con-
diton of the human race when it was at
tended with such discomfort for myself
My mother was one of those capable wo-
men whom you only read of nowadays
We were large family of children, and
she became expert in pulling teeth-our
first ones-that she became the town dentist
as well as vaccinator. and the tender
hearted mothers who did not dare do 1t
themselves, but felt that their childrens
teeth should come out, brought them to
mother. Mother used to examine our teeth
carefully once in so often to see If there
were any that were loose, and she could
discover the first symptom. 1 have worked
on my teeth for hours to get out q loose
one before she should discover it."

The Fashionable Ideal.
From the Nineteenth Century.

Every one tries to become like the fash
fonable ideal, and this endeavor often meets
with good deal of success. The power of
adaptability latent in the female form es-
pecially has always struck me with ad-
miring wonder. For instance, IL the ideal
has small waist, most women will, some
how or other, have small waist, too, to
the great detriment Of their health and ac-
tivity. On the other hand, robust and
athletic ideal can only be approached by
healthy living and a good deal Of outdoor
exercise. to the immense gain Of the IDEAL
lists themselves and Of their children after
them.
There is also the marriage market to he
considered Matrimony has always been.
In the rough, a matter of the choosing of
favored young women by the privileged
sex. 1 regret that it is so. It Is bad
system, and tends to make women sly and
men insufferable. But the fact remains.
nor in our civilization, with its unfortu-
nate preponderance Of women, Is 1t likely
to get any better.
The power Of choice on the part of the
man being assumed, it is obviously q pub
lie misfortune if he admires an unhealthy
and unsatisfactory type of young woman.
For on the average he is sure to marry her
to the detriment Of the race.
OF course this applies also to the female
ideal of man. 1t is as well that women
should admire a good type of man, but
owing to their inferior freedom Of choice
it is of less Importance.

Building Needs Four Flag Poles.

One Of the newer Of the citys modern
office buildings downtown has four flag
staffs. The three extra poles were set up
to answer requirements on the part Of ten
ants Of the building.
Under this roof there are half a dozen
consulates general Of foreign nations and
the agencies of two steamship companies
From the regular fiagpole of the building
there is flown the American flag, or bur-
gee or housefag, showing the name Of the
building. Upon one and another Of the
other three poles there are hoisted at one
time and another the flags of the half dozen
nations here represented and the flags of
the two steamship companies.
The steamship flags are hoisted on the
sailing days of the steamers. The national
flags ar6 hoisted upon such days as they
would be raised in the countries for which
they stand. ,TheSe several tenants who
have the use, Of these poles send, upon oc-
casion, to the superintendent of the build
ing, who hoists for them the flag required
It may be that there will be seen floating
over this building only the American flag,
or the building burgee the other three
poles standing empty; or one or another, or
perhaps all Of the poles, may show bunting.
Thus there might be seen flying over this
building at one time the flags of four ma
tions; and at one time and another the flags
of seven ntnations, besides those Of the two
steamship companies.

A Beer Prisoner at st. Helena,


How could you face war; I said to q
trembling old man Of sixty-f1ve, who had
volunteered to fight. II prayed to the
Lord" he said; II gave myself and my
family to His care. And 1t was wonderful
to see how He strengthened us. There was
not a tear. One daughter carried my rife,
the other my bandolier, and my wife (she
is sixty-three). carried my bag. They were
all quiet; you would never have thought
l was going away. I did a soldiers duty;
did what had to do. 1t is strange, In the
heat Of fight you do not care what hap
pens. You shoot, and you do not care. How
it should come that thing like that can
happen I do not know, but 1t does happen
to a man. But oh, it Is bitter thing to
think of afterwardl When I think of what
I saw all round me shiver with horror.
Believe me. / can scarcely keep the tears
out of my eyes at night when think of the
suferings I have seen. I grieve as much
for the widows in England as for those OF
our own people. I know am q prisoner.

my parole, and can go little way out of
the camp and sit down quietly to read. I
am thankful they give me that liberty" I

Hats in the House of Commons.

Hats In the House of Commons.
From Good Words.
Speaker Denison If he saw a member
wear any unWonted headgear. other than
the regulation tall hat, would send for him
and point OUT the irregularity. In these
days a billy hat has frequently been
seen in one particular quarter of the house.
and the innovation is tolerated. What
Speaker Denison would have said or thought
II he had seen q few straw hats in the ex-
tremely hot weather Of last session the
writer cannot venture even to conjecture. A
reference to hats recalls the curious Gus
tom which prevails that when a member
wishes to inteTpose with a point Of order
after the question has been put from the
chair he must speak covered" On one
occasion Mr.. Gladstone wished to speak in
this way, and, as he never brought q hat
into the house. he was obliged hastily to
borrow q hat It happened that the hat
which he borrowed belonged to his then
solicitor general. Sir F.. Herschell (after-
ward the lord chancellor), and 1t proved to
be far too small for Mr.. Gladstone's head.
He was unable for some time to address
the house owing to the shouts of laughter
which his appearance called forth.

Singular Plurals.

Having settled the plural OF rhinoceros as
rhinocerotes, we are piled for further in

dite nouns. ''Albatross.' for example. So
solitary bird scarcely needs an answer.
The plural Of "blouse" can scarcely be
passed as "blice," though the analogy Of
the mouse Is in its favor. And what OF

How Gold Was Found in Australia.
From the Engineering Magazine.


The discovery Of the Australian gold
fields was in some instances not altogether
without romance, notwithstanding their
prosaic surroundings, perhaps in no case
more so than In that Of West Pilbarra, of
which I may quote the story as commonly
told. It appears that a discerning youth
Of tender years picked up stone to throw
at cow (some say crow, and noticing
that 1t contained gold, reported the fact
to the warden" This gentleman was so
excited at the news that he flashed the
intelligence by wire to the then governor
Of the colony, informing him that a lad
had picked up stone to throw at crow
forgetting to add that he had seen gold
in it! The governor. much surprised, but
moved by curiosity. wired back: ''Yes; and
what happened to the crow?" Cor cow.
This elected explanations which led to the
proclamation of the district as gold field,
and in consequence of the rush that fol-
lowed in the same year (1SSS) 3,493 ounces
Of gold were obtained, valued at 13,273,
early attention being drawn to the district
by the discovery of several large nuggets
one Of which weighed 14O ounces.

English Humor Offset American Joke,

From the Now York Tribune.
'You often hear stories about the failure
Of the English to appreciate humor," said
George W. Smiley. a prominent attorney of
Cleveland, Ohio yesterday, "but sometimes
think the Britisher is not as stupid as he
is made out to be. I have heard of the
Englishman who said plaintively, You don't
understand our humor, and so it isn't sur
prising that we don't understand yours
recall a story told last summer about the
quiet but effective way In which an English
man settled an American who was trying
to be funny. The Englishman In question
was standing in Broadway looking up at
the buildings He stopped man who was
passing and said, with a pronounced English
drawl: 'Aw, l say, do you know where the
post office IS" The man accosted was one
Of these bright fellows. and he answered
tersely, Yes. know where 1t is and then
the face Of the Englishman to denote that
he was surprised or puzzled by the literal
answer to his question. The man In uues-
ton, however, after going few steps, ap-
parently repented of his attempted pleas
antry, and reasoned with himself that mis-
interlocutor was an Englishman; that he
wouldn't understand 1t was Joke, and that
him where the post office was. He turned
back and saw the Englishman still looking
around with an interested air. He ap-
pr cached him and said: L beg your pardon
but when you asked me If I knew where tha
post office was, did you desire to have me
tell you where it is located?' The English
man looked at him for a second then
nonchalant drawl: 'Aw. no, not at all; !;
