The Largest Hail Stones.
Ons day, not long ago, while Chi*
oago was being bombarded with bail
stones as large as—well, something less
than bushel baskets—the people who
had been halted in store doors and
other friendly shelters looked out on
the falling chunks of ice and declared
the record must certainly be broken,
says the Chicago News.
In an office building two young
men gased out of the second story on
the pelting storm and on the crowd
that watched it impatiently from the
doors below. An idea struck one of
them. They went to the water tank,
and lifting out what was left of the
day’s supply of ice, broke it in chunks
as large as a man’s hat These chunks
they tossed out on the sidewalk and
let them drop along with the hail
stones.
“Goodness gracious, look at that
chunk I" cried a girl who had been
looking out ol a street window.
Everybody in the stoie gathered
around and agreed that it was a most
remarkable hail stone
Another chunk fell near the first and
excited new wonder.
The storm soon passed and several
men with went out pocket rules to
measure the supposed hail stone,which
looked as i! it had dropped off an ice
wagon. They mads careful notes in
little vest pocket blank books, and
each one estimated that the premium
hail stone had melte I at least one half
since its fall.
When these men get to be oldest
inhabitants the generation on earth at
that time will hear some good hail
stories.

A Narrow Escape-
Thankful words written by Mrs.
Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S. D “Was
taken with a bad cold which settled
on my lungs; cough set in and final
ly terminated in Consumption. Four
doctors gave me up, saying I could
live but a short time. I gave myself
up to my Savior, 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 Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds. I gave it a trial,
took in all eight bottles. It has cured
me, and thank God I am saved and
now a well and healthy woman.” Trial

Dewey and Manila.
I may point to one or two elements in
the Manila victory which offer lessons
not to be lightly passed over. The extreme
ly feeble support which the Spanish ships
received from the batteries behind them
surprised me, as it no doubt surprised"
many others. Os the great power of guns
mounted on a steady platform over guns
mounted afloat no one has spoken with
more conviction than American naval offi
cers themselves. Their conclusions after a
very careful and sustained examination os
eyewitnesses of the bombardment of the
Alexandrian batteries was “that vessels
are not yet and never will be able to fight
on even terms with forts.”
It certainly redounds to Admiral Dewey’s
credit that, with such opinion behind him,
he attacked as he did. But he attacked at
very long range, stated to be 4,000 yards.
Our inference for the present must be
either that the land guns were obsolete or
that they were disgracefully served, or pos
sibly both. I should doubt if the con
stantly agitated cause of ships versus forts
will be found to have progressed by the
illustration of this battle more than to en
force the lesson that the quality of the
weapons mounted and the drill of the men
behind them must keep pace with what is
done afloat and is far more important than
costly quantity.—Vice Admiral Colomb
in Pall Mall Magazine.

STERN DISCIPLINE.
It U MoXmary In War »“ d tb *
Mast Uw» to Sabaait.
One of Detroit’s retired officers, who
fought in two wars and helped for years
to restrain the savage outbreaks of our
Indians, thus delivered himself to the
writer:
“The very hardest lesson a young
American has to learn when he enters
(be army is that of obedience. For the
first time, Me individual authority is de
throned. He is as fractious as a thor
oughbred colt that long rebels against
the whip and spur. It is hard for him
to understand that his freedom of action
must be subordinated to military neces
sity. He chafes, if he does not openly
rebel, but when once whipped into line
he makes the best soldier on earth.
“My first drillmaster had been my
friend and the friend of my family from
my boyhood up. We had hunted and
fished and courted together and ex
changed secrets with a freedom that
* does not obtain among brothers. One
day, early in my experience as a soldier,
and while everything was being hurried
with a view to getting us into Mexico,
wo had been drilling till I felt ready to
drop. The repeated orders struck pain
to my ears and I would have conscien
tiously sworn that my musket weighed
a ton. At length, when within easy ear
shot of him, I shouted, ‘For heaven’s
sake, Bob, stop this tomfoolery and let’s
go over to the tavern.’
“He never looked at me but roared,
‘Corporal, take that man and drill him
like the deviL ’
“The corporal did, and I thought I’d
die of exhaustion. I fully meant to
challenge the drillmaster and whip him
if he declined, but he succeeded in mak
ing me understand the imperative neces
sity of unquestioning obedience in the
soldier. It’s tough with the raw re
cruit, but the quicker he learns his part
the better it is for all concerned. ’’—De
troit Free Frees.
WAYS OF THE BLUE CRAB.
Some of Its Peculiarities as Observed at
New York’s Aquarium.
While the blue crab is not commonly
thought of as a swimmer and does in
fact spend the greater part of its time
on the bottom, yet it can very easily
sustain itself in the water and swim at
a very fair rate of speed. It swims end
wise, and when swimming it carries
one big claw thrown forward and bent
back at the middle joint, making a
point projecting at that end of the
body, while the other big claw trails
straight out astern. If it changes direc
tion, it crooks the olaw it had been car
rying straight and lets the other go
free. If it sustains itself in the water
without progressing, it carries its big
claws in front of itself as it would nat
urally do under ordinary circumstances
on the bottom, but it has to keep its
little claws in motion to sustain itself,
and in swimming the little claws are
kept actively at work. Besides making
a good degree of progress through the
water in swimming the blue crab can
change its course or swim to a higher
or lower level with facility. When
frightened, the blue crab moves off side
ways, but when moving about at home
and undisturbed it may move straight
forward. Its body may be inclined at
any angle to the line of progress, but
its motion still be forward, the big
claws carried crooked around in front.
It may be seen moving thus in one of
the larger tanks at the aquarium, in
which there are blue crabs, lobsters and
other things. The temperature of the
water now just suits the crustaceans,
and they are very lively. Blue crabs
may be seen swimming here, and also
walking about, stepping down from
stones that are as high as they them
selves are wide with perfect dignity, if
not grace of manner, and walking or
carrying their claws before them.—

The Pint Teacups.
Even after tea was introduced into
Europe and had come into general use
teacups were scarce. At the same time
coffee was introduced; but, apart from
Constantinople, the first coffee cups in
Europe date back only as far as 1645 in
Venice, 1659 in Paris, 1652 in London
and 1694 in Leipsic. From the first,
however, the conventional oriental cof
fee cup, without stem or handle, was
little used, and in Germany not at all
The Chinese teacup was used for tea,
coffee and chocolate as welt Specimens
of porcelain were undoubtedly intro
duced into Europe in the middle ages,
yet not till the sixteenth century were
cups imported from China in any great
quantities, and even then it was as arti
cles of vertu. Most of those found their
way back into China again, as collect
ing porcelain is a lasting fad there, and
high prices are paid for good specimens.
The collection of Chinese porcelain, if
only the genuine specimens are desired,
requires immense study and knowledge,
as the Chinese are skillful imitators
and put numerous falsifications on the
market.
Individual Odon.
Every human being has a specific
odor of his own, according to A. Bethe
in the Arohiv der Gesammten Physiolo
gic, by which he can be recognized not
merely by dogs but by persons with sen
sitive organs of smeiL The case is men
tioned of a man who blindfolded could
pick out each individual in a company
of 20 by his odor.
The smell is not born with us, but
develops gradually till the age of puber
ty, after which it remains unchanged.
Members of a family have • kind of
common odor, which persists even when
they have lived apart for a long time.
The entire area of the United States
is placed at 1,835,017,692 acres, of
which 741,702,865 acres are now owned
by individuals or by corporations or
states or have passed out of the control
of the general government •
Savages, on the whole, live longer
than civilized people.
