It has al­ ly "ways been reckoned that one ton of pVi coal gees to forty cubic feet, but many ^ , complaints have lately been received from engineers of short delivery on the regulation scale of forty feet to a ton. A vessel recently coaled on this measurement as a basis of quantity was found to have a deficiency of four­ teen tons. Obviously, however, it must f have have been badly stowed, for it has bean proved that'a ton of well- stowed Welsh coal only occupies a cu- , bic capacity of thirty-live feet. It is somewhat curious that 6uch a question should be raised at such a £ • late hour, for the forty-foot s-ystem has ip. ""been in existence for so many* years i ,that to doubt its accuracy is' tanta- * -mount to questioning the multiplica­ tion table, and it inevitably gives rise to another question as to the real quan­ tity of coal vessels receive under this measurement. €t Female Weakness for ten years never left me.

REDUCES THE REC* \ ORD .OF THFC WORLD. nMik'% Mile at Fort Wayne In 2:03 3-4 and Thereby Dfthronei Mascot, Flying Jib, and N»ncy Hanks--Alls Equals Her Betort of S:OS 1-A. ' ' *• The Fort Wayne, rttt.T TJfl'vlng Club's mile track to-day holds the record for the fastest mile ever made by a horae in harness, it holds the fastest mile ever made by a 4-year-old mare, and it holds the world's record for the greatest card of events and one day achievements in the history of the turf. * Robert J, G. J. Hamlin's wonderful' pacer,, achieved imperial honors, de­ throning' Nancy Hanks and smashing her 2:04 record. He was sent against his record of 2:04i at the Driving Club Park, and finished the mile In 2:034, held tie watch on Robert J. acted in similar capacity for Alix. The little, maro was given an ovation and so was Andy McDowell. Another record-breaking perform- anco awaited the crowd. Geers scon came t^ack with the 4-year-old cham­ pion mare Fantasy, 2:07i. She was seeking new records, and success was with the Village Farm--it was their day. Cheerful was on duty again and the pair were to the quartes m 0:32i, well together at. the half in 1:031, and on came the best 4-year-old of the gentler sex. She was* at the three- quarters in 1:35K ancl well did she do the last end of it No faint heart was there, no weak spot did she show, but also sent against her record of 2:05h She did not get anew mark.butshe re­ peated the old one,and the performance was phenomenal. At 3:30 AndyMcDow- ell drove her out. After a preliminary trial she was given the word and sued like the wind from the post. The first quarter wae fin­ ished in :3U. the half mile in 1:021, the three quarters in l:34i, and the mile in 2:05'. Several watches caught her in 2:05 flat, but the same special judges who ------; S. ' m m the greatest record in the history ot light harness racing, and one that crowns him king of the turf. Such phenomonal sceed was never before seen on a track, and the great horse that did it is the theme of every tongue. At 4:30 the pacer was broughtoutfor the start with Ed. Geers up. He had previously been well worked out by Geers and when he came to the post was fit for the effort of his life. Starter Frank Walker called to the stand as speciai time judges Messrs. S. A. Browne, Kalamazoo, Mich.; A. L. Thomas, Taylorville, 111., and W. R. Steele, Nashville, Tenn. After going to the quarter in a trial spurt, Geers tooK Robert J up the stretch where a swift running mate in harness was ready to pace him. All was ready and Geers started flown to the post. He came at a tre­ mendous clip-and noddea for the word. Starter Walker shouted "Go" and like a flash, Robert J. shot away at a £ace that troubled his mate to pattern. His movement was pertect and he was going at a world-beating gait. The quarter was reached in 301 and NAPOLEOTY AT ST. HELENA. Bow He Was Guarded and PramtM from Takinr Flight. , Among the contributions which the reawakened interest in Napoleon L have called forth is a letter hereto­ fore unpublished, written by the Marquis de Mouchenu, one of the commissioners sent to St Helena at the time of the exile of the great conqueror. After an introduction in which the author describes in pes­ simistic language the condition of at> fairs in the island, he continues: "Now, as you know all my trials, let me speak of our great man, of his position, and the way in which he is guarded. The garrison of i*t. Helena is composed of ;',500 men. Many pieces of artillery and a score of mor­ tars defend the coast. Bonaparte occupies the country house of the Lieutenant Governor, situated on the only plain on the island, and known by the name of Longwood. This plain is surrounded by high rocks, and one can approach it by only one path. About- the house is the Fifty- third regiment, and farther on are companies of artillery, so -that the entire plain is guarded by troops. Napoleon has fifty men to serve him. but takes advantage of his liberty to walk about alone, without being an- . noyed by his guardians. But if he <•_ j j desires to leave the little plain Bona- | | parte js accompanied by au otticer in uniform, who does not leave him an instant, and who must report every­ thing that he has done during the day. "The persons composing the suite of the 'emperor' are watched by offi­ cers of ordnance, and his valets by under officers At every hour of the night the Governor is informed by means of a military telegraph of what happens on the island. A few minutes are sufficient to alarm the garrison if necessary and have It un­ der arms. Such are the precautions taken to guard Napoleon, as far as the land itself is concerned. "As to the seaside, still greater care is taken. Two frigates ride at ttnehor and two brigs course inces­ santly about the island, and from 6 o'clock at niRht until tio'ilo k in the morning two armed bands patrol the mountains overlooking the sea It is forbidden to row on the waters of "GANDER PULLING." A Stan** like the queen she is was past the mile in 2:07.

A special mouthpiece for public tel­ ephones has been introduced in Ger­ many. with the object of avoiding the si read of disease carried by the con­ densed moisture of the breath.

Not a skip or a break did he make as he sped along the back stretch to the half, passing it in 1:011, a clip that made grizzled veterans of the ti.rf hold their breath as they gazed upon the marvelous performance and won­ dered at the horse that was doing it. Around the turn he came with his misrhty stride, keeping well away from his mate and never losing an inch of his pace. The three-quarters was turned in 1:33}, and Robert J came into the home stretch. Every neck in the great crowd was craned to get a loojc at the swiftly moving pacer and breath­ less silence prevailed. Everybody seemed to realize in­ stinctively that Robert J. was doing something that no horse ever before accomplished, and each seemed to leel that a word or sound might circumvent the achievement. The peerless racer came to the post at a pace that was simply astounding. There was not a fault in his motion. His feet swung and beat with the rythm of a machine, and he spurned the turf from under him with a speed and strength that surpassed any other efi'ort ot the mile. Up nearer the wire he came, Geers urging him, and the noble horse responded loyally to the demand upon his powers. The wire was reached, and Robert J had given a new record and achieved an honor no other hor. e had ever won. He had made a mile in better than 2:04, and Nancy Hanks, Flyinsr Jib, and Mascot were deprived of their laurels. The time was announced and for the first time in all the world 2:03 j was l>ung out. There was no mistake. A hundred watches had caught the time. A mighty cheer went up and the crowd was iniida*vith enthusiasm, the j yield next year. ladies outdoing the men in their ex-j Democrat. ultant demonstrations. As Ed Geers drove back with the greatest horse in the world the pre­ mier pacer and his driver were given an ovation. Geers received the honor with no less modesty than his horse. Robert .T., before a pony, is now a king. He is now a giant among horses ana Geers to day is above all his fra­ ternity. He. has at one stroke wrested tho 2:04 crown from Nancy Hanks, Mascot, and Flying Jib and placed it upon one brow. With grace did the new king receive it; with honor will he wear it. Mr. Hamlin sat in the judges' stand. Al\x, the "sweet little" mare. Leiteral Obedience* The reception of a certain Prussian general's wife were for some* reason uncongenial to the youths under bis command, says Harper's Young Peo­ ple, and unfrequented by them. The general, a strict martinet, was im­ prudent enough to reproach them with their shortcomings in this mat­ ter and to demand a change In their manners. At his very next ball, when all the guests were assembled, the tramp, tramp of marching feet was heard upon the staircase, the door was thrown open, and there marched into the room a whole corps of cadets, who, with their young offi­ cer at their hoad, halted and stood at attention. "What's the meaning of this?" shouted the general! "The first corps of cadets, to dancing com-srirLplit̂ vout.vaiutir" S5.-S? rested ajnd shot No strange boat is allowed to land. A reward of five francs and a half is given to anyone who signals the approach of a boat within twenty leagaes of the coast. It must also be remembered that the coast is very dangerous. The break­ ers are so heavy that one must often wait several days without being ^ble to leave his ship, if permission is granted. You can understand from this that escape is impossible. Ad­ mitting even that the Governor wished to favor the flight of Bona­ parte, it would be necessary tnat the Admiral connive at his plan. Now if the Admiral should ai^ in deceiv­ ing the superior authorities and on a favorable night should allow two or three sloops to approach tor the pur­ pose of carrying awav our prisoner, what would be the fate of these ves- selsy They would have to withstand a formidable tire and their crews would certainly be arrested, a* the ap­ proaches are so perfectly guarded. Nothing happens of which 1 am not informed. "When eveuing comes," adds the marquis, "Ronaparte and his at­ tendants must enter the house and are not allowed to leave it until the following morning. The house at night is surrounded by sentinels, who have orders to draw on any person who appears, and the Emperor and his followers have learned that these orders will certainly be carried out, aa proof has already been given." Mourning for Snakea. Whenever you say, 44This is a fine season" to the Boston .Journal's snake editor, he shakes his head sorrow­ fully and remarks, >(Nota bit of iL It's the worst summer on record." "Why, didn't you see that rattle­ snakes had appeared at Exeter, N. H.V" he was asked by an inquirer. "What of that?" was the reply. "Would you consider that that was worth being compared with the story from the west--about the man who went down into an abandoned mine and killed 133 rattlesnakes, drank a quart of whisKy and earned $100 in less than an houi^"' And the snatce editor's eyes fairly glistened at the thought of the ad­ venture. "Don't you remember the eight- foot snake found out at the Back Bay?" "What is an eight-foot snake in Boston to be compared?, with the big serpent stories coming from other parts of the country. Thtfre was the ,/?boa constrictor who escaped from a cage and hid in a sewer." ••Oh, that was old." "No, that happened in Washing­ ton, and is vouched for. Then there was the duel between two Jealous boa constrictors in a Brazilian forest, and the two different stories about men barely escaping being swallowed by pythons.and the educated blacksnake which milked a cow, and the man •port of the Early Dayv Mlasonrl. Ex - Gov. Fletcher of Missouri, formed the center of a little group of Congressmen the other day who were discussing old times. "When I was a boy," said he, ui lived among the pioneers of Missouri. They were a fine class of people; all in all the best people I ever knew. They drove back the Indians, and made bear and deer their meat,, as the sayinsr goes. It was before the days of the schoolmaster. Oc­ casionally we had a three months' subscription school, but the master was employed more for his physical qualifications to disipliue the Dig boys than for his learning. It was before the days of baseball and foot­ ball. and the sport that stood at the list was 'gander pulling.' The men met," continued the Governor, 'at some suitable cross-roads store, where eighteen cents per gallon corn whisky was dispensed, and they pooled in $1 each, say twenty or twenty-five of them, That was a big purse in those days. Then they got the oldest and toughest gander that roamed that circuit The feathers were carefully plucked from his neck, and the neck was coveted with grease and soap After these prelim­ inaries Mr. Gander was securely f ed to the swinging limb of a tree, hang­ ing head downward. This done, the men would mount their horses, a cir­ cle was drawn, the master of cere­ monies would take hts place in the center of the ring, whip in hand,and kept every horse on a lively run as the riders tried to catch the gander's neck. The man that succeeded in pulling off the neck raked in the pot* If he held on until be was pulled off his horse, it counted, for the gander, and the rider was out. It was a little tough on the fowl, but as a feat of strensrth and horsemanship it was worth seeing and the knights of old never put lance in rest or rode in a tournament to greater applause among the spectators than was phowered upon them by the throng at a gander p illing. I was once an eye witness of this strange sport. Ol course, it wound up with a dance, and the hero who pulled off the gander's head danced with the prettiest girl. "Pretty girls? Your young ladies of to-day wouldn't have been in it with those rosy cheeked lassies. All the candidates for office would be theie, electioneering. They didn't make many speeches in those days. They set'em up and mixed about and talked with the boys. Well, all that old set is gone now. Their de­ scendants are more learned and have modern manners, habits and amuse­ ments. but ' they are not better in any sense than the sturdy old pion­ eers, their ancestors."--Washington Post though on parade. '-Take them away:" screamed the general, beside himself with rage. "Kight about lace, march:" was the calm and un­ moved answer, and the cadets marched out in the same order as they had entered. Growth of Egypt's Cotton Trade. In 1S84 Egypt began to 6hip cotto* to this country, the amount that year being 4.053 bales. Since then there has been a steady annual increase, and last year 40,000 bales were received, mo.4 of which was used in the New England mills. The Egyptian crop in 18v4 is estimated at over 1,000,000 bales, and the probable success of plans for storing the waters of the Nile for irrigating purposes will double the St. Louis Globe- Foot Bicycles.

This was a long sentence and the snake editor had to pause for breath, but before the questioner could get in a query, be resumed the cata­ logue. '•Then there was the reappearance of the sea serpent in the Pacific occin, and the man who eats rattle­ snakes in preference to spring chick­ ens, and the snake charmer who was being photographed with his pets when they went on a strike and de­ molished the establishment. I had almost forgotten the two cases of people on the California coast who were seized by--shall 1 say octapuses or octopi?--and almost kilied. No, this has l?een a splendid season for snake stories in every section of the country but New England, and it if enough to drive an enterprighig snake editor west, where there is something to do. New England isn't in it." And with that the disheartened snake editor mournfully wended his way to a place where he could go in training for seeing snakes as much | as he liked. !

Two of the oldest and oddest forms of popular barometers are the leech in a bottle and a frog on a ladder. LMchard Inwards has seen an old Spanish drawing of nine positions of the leech, with verses describing its attitude and behavior before differ­ ent kinds of weather. Dr. Merry- weather of Whitby, contrived an ap­ paratus by which one of twelve leeches confined in bottlen, rang a bell when a "tempest" was expected. When leeches were kept in every chemist's shop, and often in private houses, their behavior was the sub­ ject of constant observation; and it was generally noticed that in 6tiU weather, dry or wet, they remained at the bottom, but rose often as much as twenty-lour hours in ad­ vance, before a change, and. in case of a thunder storm, rose very quickly to the surface, descending when it was past. The frog barometer, used in Ger­ many and Switzerland, is a very sim­ ple apparatus, consisting of a jar o( water, a frog and a little wooden stepladder. If the frog comes out and sits on the steps, rain is ex­ pected. The weather-glass dearest to the old-fashioned cottage in the last generation was the "old man and old woman," who came out of their rough-cast cottage in foul or fair weather respectively. This was al­ most the earliest of semi-^ientific toys, and depended on the contract­ ing of a piece of catgut fastened to a lever. The belief that bees will not fly before a shower is probably true, and is the rational origin of the banging of trays and iron pots with a door key when bees are going to swartn. The Insects are supposed to take this for thunder, and so set­ tle close at hand, instead of settling at a distance. Squirting water on them with a garden syringe often makes them settle at once. But no such ingenious pro.ess of rationaliz­ ing can be found for the belief that if the insect inside cuckoo-spit lies upward the summer will be dry, though the increased worrying of horses by flies before rain, and the rise of the gossamer before tine weather, are abundantly confirmed by observation.--London f-pectator. The Contented Javans. The people live much in publics an l the poorer classes, instead of eat- ! ing their meals at home, as is the j manner of the unsociable Hindu, seem usually to breakfast and dine at : one of the itinerant cookshops, to be ' found at every street corner. More exclusive people may be seen buyi ng the small packets of curry and rice wrapped in fresh plantain leaves, and pinned with bamboo splinteis, which are intended for home consumption. To stroll down a village street and watch the culinary operations in pso- gress at wayside eating shops was an unfailing source of amusement, and very clean and appetizing they looked, though the smell was occasionally somewhat trying to the European nose. The Javans, llKe a rice-eating people, are fond of pungent and evil- smelling sauces, the equivalents of the Burman gnapee and Japanese bean soy are in constant requisition. The natives, and especially the children, look fat and healthy, and appear to enjoy life under easy con­ ditions, though they are, generally ' speaking, of grave demeanor, and are ! not endowed with the unfa ling vi­ vacity which distinguish the Bur- mans and Japanese: During the six weeks that we spent in the island we did not see half a dozen beegars, and except in cities certainly not that no Substitute for Royal Baking: Powder.

The Man Who Had One Hnndred and Klghtjr-Mven Housekeeper* Evan Adams, locally famous as the man who had 1ST housekeepers in the few years that have elapsed since the death of his wife, died at Mount Pleasant in the same little house where he was born ssventy-six years ago. He was married before he reached his majority, and for over forty years lived a happy wedded life, rearing a large family of daughters, who are now grown up, married and among the most res[ected residents of Atlanta County. Mrs* Adams died about ten years ago, and her husband wa • so stunned by his sudden bereavement that for a time his life was despaired of. A year after her death a sudden change was noticed in Adam-. He seemed to for­ get his loss, but continued to shun all companionship. His daughters expo t- ulated with him, onlv to be driven from home, and his neighbors gave him em- thatie warnings to keep the peace. |Si on he developed a mania for house­ keepers. None could be secured near his home, so he procured one through the medium of a r hi adelphia employ­ ment agency. She remained throe days only, and lelt without wages or refer­ ence. She was replaced by another domestic, who in turn left within a week. Othe:s followed in quick suc­ cession, none remaining longer than a week. Adams soon found himself blacklisted in the help bureaus of the Quaker City. Then he visited New York and girls of all nationalities were imported to Mount Pleasant, but always with the same result. Some stayed a day or two and sbme a week, but the terrific quarrels, which furnished a never-end­ ing 9candal for the countryside, always marked their exit from thelitt e home­ stead. At last the climax was reached when a red-headed virago from New York, the one hundred unl eighty-seventh experiment, chased Adams out of the housis with an ax. Since then Adams has lived a'one, and he died unattend­ ed and in solitude.--Atlantic City special to St. Louis Republic. The Fondest Hoar Memory Reealta. The question naturally Buargegts Itself, Which is "the fondest honr memory recalls?" Has the reader, whose attention we hope to en­ gage, ever had a controversy with hie stomach on the subject of dyspepsia? After convincing proofs that the digestive organ has got the up­ per hand, has a wise resort been made to Hos- tetter's Stomach Bitters? If so, the "fondest hour" has been recalled by memory in the shape of a lasting resumption of the power to digest, assimilate thoroughly and eat. heartily without fear of being uncomfortable after-' ward. When the dinner bell, that "tocsin of the soul." strikes agreeably upon the ear, the auditor then greets it as a welcome sound and hastens to obey its summons.
