6 BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN. Bocome of the Ships That Sinks In Storm and Battle. What In looking at the ocean, the mind almost instinctively turns to the fate of the ships which have found their resting place therein. If the reader were appointed to inspect the bottom of the drained sea, he would be sure to look at once for some remnants of this kind, overwhelmed by storm and battle. Fancy has depicted these vessels as thickly strewn over the bottom of the ocean, and at times suspended in the depths, unable on account of the density of the water to find their way down. But all we know of the con ditions of the deep leads U9, says the Boston "Traveler," to believe that the vessel sinks to the bottom right away. In a few hours at most it reaches its everlasting grave, ' and is ready for the swift destruction which awaits it. When it reaches the bed of the sea it must in part sink into the ooze, which everywhere is deep. Quickly the creatures of the sea, who, bv long existence in fields where food is scanty, have learned to avail themselves of every chance of subsistence, seize upon all the organic matter which fortune has sent to them. Even the masts and the woodwork will shortly be honeycombed and weighted down by encrusting forms. Ships of European peoples have been for centuries finding their way to the floor of the ocean. Probably over 100,000 vessels have met this fate since the time when our race first began to spread throughout the world. Yet by far the greatest part of these have fallen upon the shallows near the shore, where the swift cur rents and rapidly moving debris are likely to aid in their destruction and burial. How swiftly they disappear in these conditions may be judged by the ex perience of the diver who has sought for sunken treasures. Almost invari ably, after a hundred years or so has gassed, they find that the craft is quite lost sight of. Curiously enough, the most permanent records of man's empire of the seas is being written in the ashes from the coal fed fires of the steamships. This waste is in its nature indestructible, and the mass of material constributed in any one year to the ocean bed is to be reckoned by the million tons. In time all the great ship routes will be paved with this debris, which will be built into the rocks, to remain as the most en during monument of man's sway upon this sphere. How's This !

Ha.dly any class of animals suffers so much from ignorance, carelessness and cruelty on the part of diivers as the livery horse. Many of the people who hire horses know nothing about driving or caring for them ; many others, since they do not own the horse, care nothing about any injury to him provided they do not have to cay for it, and still another class takes pleasure in driving him at the top of his speed as long as he can go, re gardless of his distress. Then there are the drunken drivers, reckless of everything, the drivers who want to race with everybody who comes along, and the people out for a " good time," and whose idea is to " let 'er go. There are the people who overdrive, who do not water, who water when the horse is overheated, who do not blanket, and others Mho commit all remaining kinds of offences against horse-flesh the one idea being that since the horse is not their own it don't make much difference. The only remedy is to educate pub lic opinion up to the point where pro ple will treat horses well for the horses' sakes, and see to it that others - do so also. No class of animals needs the Humane Society more than livery horses, and no class of people ought to back up the Society more vigorous ly than liverymen. Ex.

The original Constitution of the United States was written upon a long roll, that was afterward cut up and put under glass in five oak frames two inches deep, and fourteen by nineteen inches -in size. In four of these frames are parchment sheets easily filling the space, on which are written the Constitution of the United States. In the fifth frame are the signatures and the resolution submit ting the document to the States for ratification. This is the original of our national Constitution the only Constitution our republic ever had. Most States of the Union have had from two to half a dozen Constitutions, and the Empire State has recently changed its Constitution again. The lines of this original Constitu tion ot the United States run across the sheet, and the penmanship is very coarse. The preamble, which so many of you can repeat, is separated from the text by a narrow space, and there is on attempt at fancy lettering in the opening words, as there is in the Articles of Confederation. Many of the signatures are the same as are found at the bottom of the Declara tion of Independence. The amend ments, even the very first one, do not form part of this original, but are written upon separate rolls of parch ment, and preserved in tin tubes that stand in the corner of a closet. The number of these tubes is greatly in creased by those that contain the official ratifications by the States. The earlier of these ratifications in cludes approval of the Constitution and of the earlier amendments. Later amendments, such as the celebrated Fourteenth and Fifteenth, adopted at later dates, required separate ratifica tions and separate tubes. Harper's Young People, A SYRACUSE LADY.

Children Gryfor Pitcher's Caetorio. THE COLUMBIAN, NEW YORK FASHION LETTER. Madame la Mode showers so many artistic novel designs and shades of colors on the new cotton fabrics that it will not be the fault .of her toilette if the summer girl is not a picture this season. The new cottons are not only ex quisite in ornament and elegant in effect, but they are, what is most de sirable of all, inexpensive, and when made up according to the latest ca price of la Mode, they are dreams of beauty and daintiness. Lovely creped challies come in a variety of Dresden effects. Someiimes the whole eown is scattered with exquisite blossoms or ornamented with a charming Dresden border. One cannot imagine the fascinating and fairylike effect of the new flower ed lawns trimmed with gauze Pompa dour ribbons combined with embroid ery or lace. One beautiful imported gown of green organdie is so exactly the shade of June grass that with the perfectly colored wild flowers scatter ed over it, the effect brought to the mind is a vision of fresh country fields with bright blossoms. The very full paysanne skirt is made over a founda tion slip of pale violet silk. A b ack gauze ribbon painted with butter-cups Mind tied in knots at intervals borders the bottom of the dress. I he corsage is trimmed in fichu effect with delicate mull embroidery and the same butter cup ribbon. As for points of information con cerning street gowns, the drooping waists, large sleeves and full tkirts in crease in popularity. Modistes from Paris bring skiits very wide, but less stiffened tiian for merly. The average width is five or six yards at the foot and close fitting about the hips. 1 hose like the design on first page of ' La Mode de Paris " for June are specially popular. An exquisite little summer gown is illustrated in the Paris Fashion Letter of the " Paris Album of Fashion." The most charming and picturesque group of children's summer costumes and dainty little bonnets are seen in ' La Mode. The very toilette on the cover of the " French Diessmaker " is a poem in itself.

Catarrh starts .in the nasal passages, affecting eves, ears and throat, and is in fact, the great enemy of the tnuc ous mimbrane. Neglected colds in the head almost invariably precede catarrh, causing an excessive flow of mucus, and if the mucous discharge becomes-interrupted the disajreeabl results of catarrh will follow, such a3 bad breath, severe pain across ore- head and about the eyes, a roariug and buzzing sound in the ear9 and oftentimes a veiv offensive discharge. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for these troubles. BLOOMSBURG, PA. Division of a Traction, Editor Columbian. Dear Atr : A. B. seems to thirk X. Y. Z is wrong, and takes some space to prove his point. Now X. Y. Z. takes this position, that the assertion that a greater num ber can be contained in a smaller number is false in theory, false in practice and false in diet. We have yet to learn that of a dollar divided by of a dollar will eqml 'eight ninths of a dollar ; that is to say 66-j-7s88 and eight ninths. If this is a fact then I know of no easier way of making money and I will agree to furnish the dividend if A. B. wi 1 find the divisor, and I will take the quotient. We will go a little further. The ground work of division is to make a thing smaller, and in all questions of this kind value is not taken into consideration. We say jj is contained in $ one time so is 2 contained in 2 one time ; J in J one time 3 in 3 one time, no question as to value. A five gallon cask will not contain a sixty four gallon hogshead without a dangerous strain on the hoops. X. Y. Z.

At last, in despair, 1 committed the sin ot trying an advertised medicine, Dr. Tierce's favorite l'rescription, and it restored me to the blessedness of sound health. I honor the physician who when he knows he can cure, has the moral courage to advertise the fact."

Mr. Fechheimer' death was a singular instance of the dangers of blood poisoning, and "his case is al most unparalleled in medical science.

The edge of the envelope was shup and cut Mr. Fech heimer's tongue so that it bled a little. He thought nothing of it, however, until the next day, when his tongue began to swell and pain him. The symptoms of a serious case ci dioou poisoning were manliest to the doctor who wan called to Mr. Fechheimer's hotel Sunday. The latter grew worse lanidlv. The Poison in the mucilage got into his blood and soon permeated his entire system.
