1 ENQUIRER. -SU5: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1890. A TORPEDO ATTACK AT NIGHT. A TivM FkUi» t€ '»««" nd “<MS- tth* A Midin Natal Wmrlm. The opportunity cornea—* dark nigh* and tempesCnoos. The clouds have cov ered the stars like a pall, ami there is a howling wind which, drowns all other sounds. The pigmy vessel makes ready and pots to sea. It rashes along as swift as the wind and as silent as a calm Big waves sometimes sweep over it from end to end as it plunges through the dark ness, bat they are not heeded. Small as it is. it is stanchlv bnilt and can stand the strain of storm, as well as its adver sary. All men save one are snugly shnt inside, tending the dying engine and preparing the missile of destruction. This is a strange bolt, shaped Hire a ci gar, over ten feet in length, and the crew place it in the bow tube. The mar on deck stands behind a little iron tower which shields him from the shock of the waves, and there he steers the boat. In the darkness they seek their adver sary determinedly; and with deadly pur pose, since they are the protectors of their native land. The boat searches for a time in vain, for the big ship has covered all lights and is lying like a sleeping monster trpon the waves, await ing morning to renew the havoc. Per haps if the ship remained thns the little boat would never find her; bnt •‘Goliath'’ becomes uneasy: he fears “David” will make- an attack, so he has determined to watch. A daggling cone of white light sudden ly starts from a point in the darkness and broadens apon the water. Slowly it sweeps about over the sea in circling arcs. All at once the little boat is bathed in a brilliant, blinding glare. The mon sters eye finds it! But in finding the enemy the hattle ship has disclosed itself, and the dauntless little adversary steams straight forward at utmost speed. Streaks of flame are now shooting from under the white light, while the rattling reports of rifles and machine guns rise sharply above the wind’s roar. Shot and small shell are falling about like na.il upon the water, but the monster cannot keep the range of the onrushing boat, and the missiles fly wide of the mark. Suddenly the great ship looms up— tall. long, shadowy, overpowering. It is not far off—almost near enongh to be attacked. Yet a little closer, and the intrepid pigmy, still unharmed, slows and steadies, with that ominous black tube pointing toward the monster’s blaz ing side. Shut3 are falling upon the boat, and the ui;tn who was steering has taken refuge in his iron tower; but in side there is a wheel, and he can steer as well ;is before, for around him on a level with his eyes are little slits through which lie can see. Now seconds are precious if the brave little craft is to escape destruction. The moment lias come! A lever is pulled, and from tha.' black tube comes a short, hoarse roar. At once the little boat begins to turn, ready to escape with the speed of the wimL But before the boat can turn a dull, heavy shock has jarred the sea, A gi gantic column of white water rushes up ward toward the black clouds. In it the tall masts * >f the monster ship seem tc sway about and clash together. The banging of the guns is sharply succeeded by cries of human terror. The mass of water falls back into the sea with a roaring crash and scatters over the waves in great wisps of glisten ing foam. The wind, sweeping on again, forms new waves over the disturbed water. The monster ship has disappeared —the Goliath of the deep is conquered by his pigmy antagonist.—John IT. EUi- cott in St. Nicholas. We Keep in Stock and Sell the cc 77 BAKING POWDER Made by the J. C.

Women who find it difficult to spare the rime and strength at the dress maker’s for the fitting and trying on o! two or three gowns a season comment -ometimes upon the trouble their more fashionable sisters most take who own dresses by scores. In point of fact the latter have an easier time getting twenty than the former three. Most wealthy and tiressy women have at their dressmaker's a gown form of themselves, which is a plaster of pans cast taken from life. Every detail of tne corseted and bodiced figure to the waist line is accurately reproduced, and this half body is then mounted upon a skirt form of the same height as the cus tomer. Madame or mademoiselle, as the case may be, then spends a single morning with her dressmaker choosing fabrics, studying effects, indicating occasions for which gowns will be needed and the like to accomplish the season's ward robe. The costumes are made up and fitted to her counterfeit presentment and when finished sent home, often not needing the alteration of a single hook or loop.—New York Times. $2,350.

South America, but it has been success- j folly introduced, for coltivr-tion into 1 Africa and other tropical countries. It is a hnahy shrub, six to ten feet high. . with large leaves near the ends of the I branches. The articles prepared for | commerce come from the roots or tubers, j which are large and like turnips, bat frequently weighing ;ts high as thirty pounds. They contain a milky jniee rich in starch, but also rich in hydro- 1 cyanic acid, which makes the juice—in its natuial state—a very deadly poison. The acid is ilnven out by beat and the remainder of the juice is extracted by boiling. The grated root makes what is known in the tropics as cassava or cas sava bread, and is used for food. The -r.trch. extracted, is exported as Brazil- ;u arrowroot, and tapioca is made from it by a heating process which ursts the starch grannies and causes s- :emical changes.—Good House- PlltS 1 CARMINATIVE FOR Infants anil Children.
