FOOTBALL AT NAVY YARD.
Games in BFooklyn During
the Season.

Almost any afternoon during the
football season at the Brooklyn navy
yard at two o'clock two elevens of
sturdy fellows could be seen fight
ing for glory and perhaps for some
the navy yard walls, where q man in
q white apron serves refreshments
in liquid form.
It does one good to watch the
sturdy sons of Uncle Sam, clean
skinned and bright-eyed, playing the
great game, where they can exercise
the courage that is theirs. The sail
ors usually lose to the marines, but
they put up such fight and against
such odds that there is no shame,
but rather glory, in the defeat.
The marines, practically stationed
on land-that is, those who are on
the eleven-haye practice all the
time, while the jackies would find it
difficult at sea and against oil dis
cipline to experiment at kicking
goals over the captains bridge.
They still have their "sea legs" on
when they go into the game and are
good deal like ducks trying to race
game chickens. But they keep the
.'landlubbers'' busy. AZ
Whenever battleship comes into
the yard the marines challenge the
crew to a game. They have won
enough TO be supplied with the regu-
lation trousers and flaming carmine
sweaters. Their opponents manage,
somehow, to collect twelve pair Of
padded breeches, but their jackets
are to the eye of the football enthu-
siast weird.
The crew Of the Kearsarge accept
ed recently the challenge of the ma
rines and there was pretty battle.
The marines had it much their own
way in the first half, but the weight
and grit of the salt sea air lads told
later. They were within three yards
Of scoring when the whistle blew

It is the policy sof the officers to
encourage the men in athletic sports
and they do more than act as UNI
pires and timekeePers. When they
are able to do SO they get into the
game themselves. The officers may
always be recognized by their uni
forms. Why they adopted the co1ors

cirlated by the combination of the
orange and the black, is not ex-
planned. but those are the colors.

Worlds Tobacco Users.

According to recent statistics the
average consumption of tobacco by
each person in the various countries
is as follows: Netherlands, 3,40O
grams; United States, 2,11O; Belgium,
1852; Germany, 1,4s5; Australia,
400; Austria and Hungary, 1850;
Norway, 1885; Denmark, 1,125; Cam
ada, 1850; Sweden, $40; France, 933;
Russia, 80; Portugal, $50; England,
$50; Italy, 635; Switzerland, 61o, and
Spain, $50. Since nearly everyone in
Spain smokes, it may seem surpris-
ing that the consumption of tobacco
in that country should be SO much
less thanain the Netherlands, but the
reason is said to be because Span
iards almost invariably smoke cigar
cites, whereas the Dutch almost in
variably smoke pipes.-N., Y. Herald.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 13th.-A sensa-
tional statement is made by Mr.. Ben
jamin Major, whose home is at the
corner of Jane and Hurlbut Ave., this
city.
Mr.. Major says that he has found a
remedy which will positively cure all
Kidney and Bladder troubles. He suf-
fered himself for a long time with these
diseases in the most painful form, and
during his illness experimental with
great many medicines without get
ting any relief. Finally he tried Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and to his great joy was
cured completely.
The statement he makes seems to
have ample confirmation in reports
being published every day of wonder
full cures by this remedy.
