Women Only Know How much thev sufler when nervous, woak and tired. Nervous prostration is a lingering, racking, liviug death to those afllioted, though wholly incomprehensible to others.

How?” “Dodging tho bicycles.” Those Horrid Doctors. “If you must know, ma’am,” said tho doctor, “your husband won’t live twenty-four hours longer.” “Good gracious!” ejaculated the broken-hearted woman, “and here you’ve gone and prescribed medicine enough for five days.” <Jy^JP™GS wM *V f m /n A kV OiVlS ENJOYS Both the method and results when and Syrup of.

To the nnassisted eye the prerence of even any solid particles in the air is, as a rule, entirely invisible. We say this is so as a rule, for there are circumstances when the solid particles in the air are rendered visible. Every one is aware of the appearance of a stream of sunlight, introduced through a slit or hole in the shutter of a dark¬ ened room. Under such circumstances tho air through which the sunlight passes is seen to be full of minute dust particles, yet “gay motes” which are thus seen to “people the sunbeam” constitute, after all, only a very in¬ significant fraction of the total num¬ ber the air contains, for thousands of them are far too minute to be visible to the naked eye. Among these latter are the germs. It is only indeed with the aid of onr most powerful microscopes that we are enabled to discern these latter and form any estimate of their size. Many of them are less than tho one twenty thousandth of an inch. In the words of Professor Percy F. Frankland, one of our first experts on this subject, “400,000,000 of these organisms cotfld be spread over one square inch in a single layer. Thus we could have a population 100 times as gre^t as that of London settled on an area of a sin¬ gle square inch without any complaint of overcrowding, and giving to each individual organism, not three acres, which certain politicians tell us are necessary for the individual man, but one four hundred-millionth of a square inch, which is quite adequate for a citizen iu the commonwealth of micro¬ organisms.”— Gentleman'8 Magazine . An Apt Epitaph. An incorrigible office-seeker died, a few years ago, and his friends asked a well-known journalist for an epitaph for his tombstone. The journalist selected the follow¬ ing, fchich was not, however, adopted: Here Lies John Jones In tho Only IMace for Whiph Ho Never Applied. A Sure' Remedy.

A BOUT any on in importance the the only Brooklyn ship now work going Navy of Yard is on the battleship Maine, which was designed and con¬ structed there. Her turrets and side armor are all in place, and her gnns lie on the dock leady to be mounted whenever the Chief of Ordnance shall give the order. The Maine will carry ft crew of 300 men, and these men will probably be the first draft from the 1000 new men authorized by the last Naval Appro¬ priation bill. On board of the guard or receiving ship Vermont the work of enlisting is in full swing. Every day a file of men march from the York street gate of the Navy Yard to the Vermont, and are examined aud enlisted or rejected according to their qualifications. When a man goes aboard the re¬ ceiving ship to ship as a seaman, he is first taken to the ship’s writer, who makes a note of his name, address, and previous sea service, whether in the navy or merchant marine, and then he turns the applicant over to the boatswain. With a piece of rope and ten minutes time the boatswain will find out just how muen the appli¬ cant knows. He gives him the rope and tells him to make an “eye splice” in one end'of it, a “bucket knot” in the other, and to tie a “single and double Matthew Walker knot” in the middle of it. He is then passed along to the doctor, who hammers his chest, feels his muscles and tests his hearing. Afterward his eyes are examined and he is told to pick out different colors from a basketful of yarn of different hues. This is to find out whether the applicant is color blind. If the would-be sailor has passed all these examinations, the paymaster’s yeoman and the “Jack of the Dust” rig him out in Uncle Sam’s uniform, give him a bivg of clothes and a ham¬ mock, and he stands forth a United States sailor. The life of a recruit, until he is transferred to a seagoing ship, is not at all hard. He has three hours of drill every day except Saturday and Sunday, and he does not have to scrub decks as does tho man on a sea-going ship. Almost the hardest work on a guardo is getting up in the morning --5.30 o’clock is the rising hour—and washing clothes. This duty must be performed every morning if the re¬ cruit does not want to figure cn the report books. The call sounds to quarters at 9.30 o’clock every morning, and the re¬ cruits must fall in with their respec¬ tive divisions and be inspected by the division officer. After quarters the divisions march out on the Cob Dock to drill. The recruits are drilled in the use of rifles, bayonet, broadsword and great guus. They also have instruc¬ tion in a mild sort of gymnastics. In the afternoon all hands are allowed to go out on the dock, and they play baseball and football, pitch quoits and amuse themselves generally. There is a library, well stocked with books of all kinds as well as papers and maga¬ zines. In this library building, which is known as Sailors’ Hall, divine ser¬ vice is held on Sundays and also on Wednesday nights, Church is held on board of the Vermont by the regu¬ lar navy chaplain on 3unday mornings. Both churches are generally well at¬ tended, though the attendance is not compulsory, as it is on the receiving ships. O a the first Saturday of each month the recruit on board of the Vermont learns what general muster is like. Every one on board ship on this day puts on his best clothes and falls in line at the first blast of the bugle, and .after an inspection, more rigid than nsual, tho divisions march aft to the quarterdeck. Captain Silas Casey stands there in full uniform, surround¬ ed by all of his officers. When all hands are “up and aft” the Master-at Arms so reports to the Captain, and then the First Lieutenant steps two paces to the front with the naval blue hook iu hand and gives the order: “Attention—to the rules aud regula tions _ of the United . States Navy. At this order every hat comes off and the First Lieutenant proceeds to r ® aa i alnnd A1 ° u ihw tde mimiH ™ rlOU ® t.hin<r* forbid- lor Dia “ den aud allowed by the naval regula¬ tions. Then he tells the recruits what the pnnishmeut of , each , offence _ is, and , after the long catalogue has been gone through he salutes the Captain and announces that the articles have been read. After this the band, which is formed around the midship’s gun, plays “The Star Spangled Banner.” The order to pipe down is given, and a screech from the boa’n’s pipe indi¬ cates that general muster is at* an end. The band plays popular airs for an hour, and the crew have a chance to dance on the slippery decks of the big frigate.

The Central Park Monkeys. “There are twelve varieties of mon¬ keys in Central park, New York city— thirty-two monkeys altogether,” Baid Keeper Cook. “My favorite is a Nubian baboon. He always tries to help me sweep his cage in the mornings, and fights to get the broom away from me. I give him a rap over the head and then he pre¬ tends that he’s angry. But it’s only a bluff. He wouldn’t hurt anybody. He knows I keep apples in my pocket and he knows which pocket they are in, too, and gets them when he can. There is a Java monkey who used to ring doorbells and had to be sent here because his owner’s neighbors com¬ plained of him so much. Nobody could stop him. He lived somewhere down town, and no matter how they tied him up he would break away and ring bells. He can’t ring any bells now, but he is never quiet. “Monkeys don’t live long in captiv¬ ity. They all die of lung trouble sooner or later. We have one that has been here years, but that is an ex¬ traordinarily long time. We have only had one monkey born here that lived. That was about four years ago, and he lived two years.” A Dog and Parrot Story. William Winpenny, of Queen lane, was, until a few days ago, the owner of a pet parrot, which he had purch¬ ased in New Orleans several years ago. The bird was a veritable household pet, being allowed liberties that no other parrot ever enjoyed. Its con¬ stant chatter amused the members of the family, especially at meal time, when Polly was regularly placed at the table, receiving the choicest tid¬ bits for her meals. A few days ago Polly died and was reverently buried in the yard with a little headstone to mark the grave. The next day’s din¬ ner was a mournful ofie for the family, Polly being sadly missed. The old house-dog, Pomp, looked on with a wistful eye, surmising that something was wrong. The instinct of the brute solved the problem, anti, without more ado, he went into the garden, dug up the parrot and, carrying it into the dining-room, deposited it in its accus¬ tomed place .—Philadelphia Record. Not Sudden Enough. Young Tutter—Miss Clara, suppose that tomorrow evening I should call again, and,having nerved myself to it, I should, without a word, throw my arms around your neck and deliberate¬ ly kiss you—what would you do?

I5c Light the Room Dimly. A glare of gas jets and of glaring conspicuous lamps is in the worst pos¬ sible taste and betrays a parvenu on the spot. A room should be lightedi from the sides with softly shaded gas jets, one only in a moderate sized room, or by quiet, half hiilden lamps. Candlelight is the prettiest of all and the most becoming. Wax candles are too expensive to be used largely to light the parlors, but for a dining room nothing is more conducive to a confidential, reminiscent hum of con¬ versation. Don’t light the gas at all and place the candles in clusters o,f four, daintily shaded, at each corner of the table. Do not overdo the dim lighting and have the halls too dark to admit of a stranger walking through them with safety .—New York News.
