QUEEN OF THE OCEAN
The Columbian Attains Speed
Never Equalled by Any
Other Craft.
She Bees Nearly Twenty-Five Knots an
Hoer ad E·rmss a Beans o.
aslt a Milline.
BoeTro, Nov. 18.-The Columbis today
fairly won the title "Queen of the
Ocean." Faster than ever sped warship
or merchant vessel she steamed from
Cape Ann to Cape Porpoise on her trial
trip with the United States board of in
spection on board. Her average speed
for 88 knots was 22.81 knots an hour,but
she steamed 7.. knots on the run at a
rate that averaged 25.03 knots an hour.
It was a magnificent display of speed.
By her little four-hour spin she won for
her builders. William Cramp & Son, the
neat bonus of 84,0500. At sunrise the
members of the board and Cramp and
his party appeared at the head of Lewis
wharf ready to start for the ship. A
light breeze prevailed, which looked
threatening, but the day turned out fine.
The ship made a false start, and Cramp
ordered her back for a new run. One
boiler was then booming. When shegot
back a mile beyond the Dolphin, the
starting boat, she turned and pointed
her nose once more toward the course.
As she neared the half of her trip her
speed was tremendous.
"This is going 25 1.5 now." said Mr.
Cramp in a matter.of.fact way. "and I
guess we can get another knot out of
her if you ain't satisfied."
"Well. I'm satisfied," said Commodore
Walker. "She's a hummer."
Never ship was built that equalled the
tremendous velocity which the Columbia
now attained. It was not an easy task
to stand on the deck and face the gale
that resulted from the onward sweeping
of the ship. The bells of the engine
room mingled merrily as Captain Sar
gent demanded that every ounce of
steam be turned into thegreat cylinders.
The Columbia had covered the last 7'4
knots at the-rate of 25.~1 knots per hour
or a little better than 30 miles, an aver.
age since the start had been made of
22.92 knots per hour. She took a long
turn seaward on the starboard
helm before returning over the course.
The time occupied in the turn was not
counted in the trial.
At 1:14:.56 she crossed the line on her
return. The wind was now dead ahead
and blowing 12 knots an hour. The ve.
locgy it attained on the deck of the Co
lumbia must have been in the neighbor
hood of 135 knots. The ship.was reeling
off a 24.77 knot gait, and one of the pat
ent log lines could not stand the strain
and was carried away. There was a
commotion in the engine room and
every light went out. and when the
lights were restored the engines were set
at work turning off 138 revolutions per
minute. The speed rose to 23'4 knots
almost immediately, pd when the Kear
earge's crew got into the rigging and
cheered her as she sped by, she was at a
steady 23 knot gait. Her time on the
course, 88 knots, was 3 hours, 51 min
utes. 48 seconds.

W'SmHIw:ToN, Nov. 19.--The Demo

committee were in conference for six
hours yesterday over the new tariff bill,
and as a result it is now practically com
pleted, and only awaits the approval of
the full Democratic membership. The
sub-committee on internal revenue is
the only committee not fully prepared to
report, as the question of income tax
falls within its jurisdiction, and until
this matter of poltcy is decided a de
tailed report of the committee cannot be
presented. The policy of an income
tax, however, was favorably reported by
the sub-committee and the question ab.
sorbed the most of the discussion yes.

deterred until next week.
CERTAIN RUSTIC REMEDIES.

"When the Adirondack native becomes
afflicted with any of the numerous small
ills which make mankind wretched,"
said a returned visitor, "he does not
waste much time on doctors, but goes
straight to the woods or his attic for na
ture's own remedies. There is one old
man whom I have met with, packbasket
on shoulder and shears and a rough
board stool in his mittened hands, going
after yarrow, which, dried, is a standby
for coughs when it has been made into
a wicked looking brew. Fir balsam,
coaxed drop by drop from the 'blisters'
which swell on the balsam fir at moon
full, is a sovereign remedy for lung and
chest complaints.
"Gravel weed, by which name theyin
sult trailing arbutus, is excellent for the
complaint which gives it its name, and
bladder root has a desirable effect on the
kidneys and neighboring organs. 8age
tea, containing a little summer savory,
is efficacious for worms in children, for
v'wich ammonia, steeped, is also used.
Sunflower seeds, steeped, strained and
sweetened with molasses will cure the
'whoop' in whooping cough. Horserad
ish leaves, wilted and bound on the face
and back of the neck, will drive away
neuralgia, and a nutmeg, bored and tied
about the neck, will keep it away. The
nutmeg must be renewed about once ev
ery six weeks. I
"Onions, sliced, pounded and placed
in a cloth and laid over the affected part
will draw out inflammation. A red
onion, lDalved, and with one part slight
ly scooped out and the cup placed over
a carbuncle or a boil will speedily re
move the pus and has saved life. A red
worsted string tied about the neck will
cure and prevent nose bleed. This last
calls for some credulity, one might think,
but I have seen it proved in one or two
instances.
"There are many more of these sim
pie remedies in the north woods phar
macopweia which the wise ones have at
their fingers' end, and if they are not
more widely used and money kept in the
overalls of the thrifty native it is be
cause a lenient add fortunate fate pre
sides over the incomes of the Adirondack
medicos."-New York Sun.

From a letter written by Mr. Ada E
Hurd of Groton, 8. D., we quote: "Was
taken with a bad cold, which settled on
my lungs, cough set in and finally termi
nated in consumption. Four doctors
gave me up, saying that I could live but
a short time. I gave myself up to my
Savoir. determined if I could not stay
with my friends on earth. I would meet
my absent ones above. My husband
was advised to get Dr. King's New Dis
covery for consumption, coughs and
colds. I gave it a trial, took in all eight
bottles; it has cured me, and thank God
I am a well and hearty woman." Trial

A snake charmer can, by a simple mo
tion of his hand, make a moving snake
stop instantly. The reason is this:
The snake is a most timid animal His
eyes, while dull to color and form. are
quick to motion, especially if it is rapid.
If any large thing moves very quickly
too near him, he gets frightened and
scnrrie of, while at certain distances
the motion stops him if he be moving.
He stops from asto.ishment, fear or
the wish to as what it is that moves
Hence he glides on unconscious of the
oharmer's presence near him so long as
the latter remains quiet; the snake does
not know him from a tree or a rock.
But when he gives a sudden evidence of
ise the sake is astonished and immsad.
ately remains stock still.
In India and Africa the charmers pre
tend the snakes dance to the musi., but
they do not, for they never hear it. A
nake has no external ears, and perhaps
gives evidence of sound only through its
skin, when sond causes bodies in con
toat with him to vibrate.
They hear also through the nerves of
the tongue, but do not at all comprehend
sound as we do. However, the snake's
eyes are very much alive to the motions
of the charmer, or to the moving dram
sticks of his confederate, and being
alarmed he attempts to strike.
A dancing cobra (and no other snakes
dance) is simply a cobra alarmed and in
a posture to attack. He is not dancing
to the music, but is making ready to as
sail the charmer.-Harrison's Family

Kier Hardie, the labor unionist mem
her of parliament, is no fool despite his
sartorial eccentricities and his dia
tribes against constituted society. His
enemies tried to depoelt him in a cavity
not long ago by procuring a firm of
clothiers to offer him a suit of clothes
free, calculating to expose the trans
action to Mr. Hardie's confusion. That
gentleman, however, knew his men, and
in reply expressed his willingness to ac
cept the clothes if the firm would agree
to pay its employees the union rate of
wages in the future. That closed the in
cident.-London Letter.
Good Looks.
Good looks are more than skin deep,
depending upon a healthy condition of
all of the vital organs. If the liver be
inactive. you have a bilious look, if your
stomach be disordered. you have a dys
peptic look and if your kidneys be at
fected you have a pinched look. Secure
good health and you will have good
looks. Electric Bitters is the great all
terative and tonic and acts directly on
these vital organs. Cures pimples,
blotches, boils and gives a good complex
ion. Sold at Wright's drug store, 50 ct..
