It is net usual Jthls nge, at least (n America, te spend many years in the con. rtructlonef any building. Whlle tn the old world centuries have passed between the beginning and completion of seme of the great cathedrals, there is but ene modern church in America co large as te have required A long tlme for its con stntctien. This is St. Patrick's Reman Catholic cathedral at New Yerk. On the 15Ui of August. 1838. there was n concourse of poepjo gathered about the block bounded hy Filth avenue, Madisen avenue. Fiftieth and Fifty-first streets, New Yerk. Archbishop Hughes, then the eminent head of the Reman church for the dioccse of New Yerk, in presence of 100,000 people, amid great pomp and ceremony, laid (he foundation of Uie new cathedral, which was te be the most imposing of any in the United States. Thirty years have clawed elnce that gathering dispersed. The bishop who presided at the ceremony has gene te his rest. But slowly year after year the foundations took shape, then, after a period of cessation, the walls began te rise, growing higher and higher for many years, until the main portion of the work was completed, and a new prelate --Cardinal Mc Mc Cleskey en the S0thefMnv.l87D. dedicntpd the building te St. Patrick. The two great towers en r'if tli avenue were then net com pleted. Ten mero years have pass J BT. TATHICK'S CATHEDRAL. ihese towers have been finished, nnd the building stands forth n lnnnsive vliite (.tntcturi) of trrcnt architectural beautv. "St. Patrick's is net only the largest church in the United Stales, but Is among the largest in the world. lis length, in Its interior, measures DM feet. Its interior breadth 00 feet, exclusive of the chapeh between the buttresses, which inake the total width 120 feet. Its height is 103 feet. Its cplrcr sheet up into the heavens a distancoef SCO, feet. In architectural effect, csiywlStly In its two towers, it bears- eohie rcsctn rcsctn blnnce te the gnat cathedral at Cologne. The material used in the construction Is, for the basement, granite: nbove this, white inarble from quarries in BcrLbhlre county, Massachusetts. The architect intended that the building should be fin ished te its highest point iii tliis marble, but linote nndi economy brought about the substitution of artificial Mone in the upper halls, nnd plaster in the vaulted ceiling nnd in the capital of the great spires. The use of this material Is net plain te the eye, but it renders the cathedral less fire proof. The height of the building doesn't nppear te be ns great as that of similar cathedrals abroad, but this is partly en acceuut of the height of the buildings surrounding the New Yerk ctructure, while churches abroad nre usually only put in comparison with dumpy little buildings a few stories high. There is bomething sad In the remem remem brnnce that se many who took nn inter est in the inception of the plan of build ing this g.-cat structure, and who wcre present nt the laying of the cerner1 stene should liave passed away befere its com pletion. Thirty jenrs biings many cliengesj it ia nearly the nverage dura tion of n generation; but when ene com pares the time biKMit in the construction of this cathedral with that of St. Peter's in Reme, which was net dedi cated till 175 years nftcr it was begun, was three hundred and fifty years in building, nnd whose construction oc cupied the attention of forty-lhrce popes, thirty years seems u short time. The cathedral at Cologne was six hundred years in building, nnd when finished ic we3 discovered that the foundations of the towers wcre crumbling. Tiie erec tion or St. Patrick's in New Yerk Is a fine illustration of the rapid cpiiit of the present nge. THE WHEREADOUTS OF STANLUV.j Una the Oaring Elercr nt I-nU Ucon Correctly Lecutecl?

IT EXCELS TO THE POKER AND IS EQUAL FASCINATING FARO. A New Short Otrd Cane Tht Hu Takes Furl and Londen by Storm, sad From Frem lee te Heroine Popular In America Hew It Is Flayed and the Kales for It. Fcople of Paris who gamble are de voting nil of their snare time te a new game that has supplanted all of the ether games played for money. The new game ' called "hop," nnd it Is described us bch tiie most fascinat ing game that has etcr licen played net even excepting the alluring game of poker. Paris In se Infatuated with "hop" that millions of francs are lest and wen at it every night The game et."hep" has been Intro duced into the cIuIm of Londen, nnd it is being played there wltli a eal worthy of a better cause. Be far as known the game lias net ns yet been attempted in the United States, but it is only a matter of tlme when it will beceme as popular there as in Paris nnd Londen, for the reason that it is se enticing that It Is im possible for card players te withstand its temptations. All that is required te render it a go there is te explain the rules governing the play. "Hep" is nn extremely slmple game. Any pcreen of ordinary mental caliber can play It if ence told hew te proceed. Here is a description of the game: Four persons nre necessary te make up a game. Take four decks of cards, from which threw out all of the cards below the Bevcns. That leaves the aces, kings, queens, locks, tens, nines, eights and sevens te play vth. FOUR DECK8 IN ONE. All four of the decks nre shuffled to gether ns though they wcre ene deck, i'lila done, and, the cards having been cut, ene person makes the deal, giving ene card at a time te the ether players until he has dealt them three cards apiece, but taking no cards himself. After the deal thofle who liave been supplied witli cards leek nt their hands nnd bet or stay out, as their judgment dictates. The mnttcr of betting having been settled, the dealer turns a card from the tot) of the deck nnil nmcnvln in im nml take, according te the exigencies of the game. Losers nnd winners nre determined thus: If the dealer turns nn nce he makes n sweep, or, In ether words, wins nil of the Itets that nre made, regardless of the cards held by the ether players. If he turns a king, nnd there nre anv kings in the hands out, they "stand off' the dealer. AH cards below the king leso en that hand or deal. All aces out win. It Is merely this; The persons te whom the cards nre dealt take chances, nfter looking nt their cards, and befere seeing the turn up, of their card3 being either higher in denomination than the card that will be turned up or as high. The nce is the dealer's percentage, A king or n se ven will standoff a king or a coven, and there is nothing lest nor wen en buch a stand off, but nothing will stand off an ace when turned by a dealer. Even if there nre three aces in n hand ngainst the dealer, he wins if he turn an ace. "When the cards have nil been dealt by ene dealer he passes thcui te the player 011 his left, umL they are shuffled and dealt " that pcften until they nre again exhausted, and se en ns long as the game lasts. Tiiey are net shuffled between the hands a3 (in poker or euchre, but after each hand is played the caids erapleyed in thnt hand are thrown aside, net te be used until another grand bhuflle has been made. A limit is placed 011 beta te be made, which is determined, of course, by the purse of the players. A BAMTIX DAME. Imagine a game. Say the players nre Blackie Edunrds, Tcm Meade, Dick Helland and Bill Belatulcr. Tiiey bit in the order named, with Blackio'en Meade's right. It's Blackie'u deal. He shuffles the cards and hands them toBelandcr te cut. Then he deals ene card at n time, helping Meade first, until he deals three cnids from the top of the deck te each of the players. Meade leeks nt his hand und finds a king, n ten and a seven. The limit is 25. Meade bUs $1. He signifies his willingness te liet by declaring that it's a "go," that being the technical phrase. Helland finds in his hand u jack, n nlne nnd an eight iqet. He bets the' limit. Belandcr discovers a queen and a pail of tens. He bets 0.23. Blackie then turns up a jack. Meade's king, being higher than the jack turned by the dealer, wins 81, but the ten and seven both being below the jack, cause him te lese 81 each, which forces him te pay the dealer $1. Helland's jack is a stand off for Black Black ie's jack turned up, and there is no action se far as that card is concerned. Dick loses en the'tcn and the seven, tiiey both being below the jack in value, se he ewes Blackie twlce 823 until he cansce Bill Hyde. Belandcr wins ene bet and loses two, liaving a queen and two tens. The next baud, nil of the outsiders, that is, these ether than Uie dcoler, have nverage cards and bet well up te the limit, but, notwitlistandingthe fact that uicaue nas tnree aces, isiacine wins everj thing in sight when he turns up hid card, for it is au uce. Remember, aces In the hand of the outsider de net fataud off an nce turned by the dealer. "When the dealer turns uu nce there is but ene thing te be dene en that deal, and that is te take everything if you are the dealer. If nn outsider held three cards corre sponding te uny card except nn ace turned by the dealer, there is nothing lest or wen en the linnd, for they nre all n stand off. If nn outsider have three cards tliat preve te be liigher than the ene turned by the dealer, the person heldiug the cards in question wins three times the amount of the money he bet If he held three cards that are lower than the ene turned he loses three times his lt. Theso who play cards for money like te get quick action, and for tliat reason thugnmoef "hep"ij bound te beceme popular iu the States when ence started there. Iho action in "lien" is as rapid as in fare. In fact, it is little short of being furious. Paris Letter te Cincin nati Enquirer. TI10 31ml Supply The question agitated years ntre.

While btaying in your geed city last week I read in The O lobe-Democrat an account of curious coincidences con nected with dreams. Strangely enough, a'nlght or two afterwards, as I was com ing east en a sleeping car, I dreamt of meeting a friend, a lady, whom I had net been for m: rntecu ears, and in the morning I bat directly oppesito this very lady in the dining car. I had net thought of her. but who will say tliat her presence in the next car did net have seme subtle influence ever my dream the night before? Speaking of dreams, I will tell you of another one, of a ludicrous nature, net many weeks age. I dreamt that I was a boy again, and was engaged in the rather common juvenile divcnien in the country of robbing n farmer's water melon patch. Just as I was in the act of making off with ene of the finest melons in the natch I saw the fanner approach ing, wltli deg and gun. In vain did I tug at the melon, hoping te get ever the fence ahead of the advancing deg. The liarking of the brute nwoke me, and I found myself pulling with nil the en ergy at my command nt the head of my IS-inonlliB-eld baby, which I had mis taken for 11 watermelon, and whose cry bad filled my dull ears vtlth sounds like the barking of n deg. The peer child had licen dreadfully abused, and I re solved nevcr again te sleep in bed with a baby. A. M. Ucbten in St. Leuis Olobe Olebe Olobe Demeerat. , Cnrleus Chinese Notions. Beth savage and semi-barbarous peo pee peo ple have always exhibited a great repug repug nance te any surgical operation, however necessary, which involves amputation. The North China Herald, in commenting uiwn tills circumstance, iieints out that the Chlncse have always shown this repugnance, net en account of fear of pain, for they nre patient under nil kinds of physical Buffering, but because they leek upon it ns n duty te keep the body intact. If they submit te the amputa tion of n limb, they invariabV ask for the severed mcmlier, and keep it in a box, te be burled in due time with the owner. Sometimes they will actually eat it, thinking it only light tliat tliat which has been taken from the body should Ik) returned te it. On the sanie prlncinle nn extracted teeth will be carefully preserved, or ground te powder nnd swallowed iu water. Anether cutieus phnse of the same idea ii seen in the belief that a sick parent can lw cured by broth made from flesh cut from n living child, and it is looked upon as a sign of filial piety for the child te submit liimnelf te nn opera tion for that purpose The child is sup posed te be of the vital essence of the parent, nnd if a portion of tills essence is returned te the fountain head, the parent will be greatly btrengthened. The pcace loving nutuioef thoChincse is said te be largely due te thi3 respect for the human body. Chambers' Jour nal. I'oed for Coinuinptlvei. Snail'i, In the opinion of Willich, nre equal in vnlue te oysters. They nre, he fays, equally nourishing nnd wholesome. On account of their gelatinous nature they have lately been much used iu con cen con sumpteons; und as these complaints are new very frequent it were te be wished, says Medical Classics, tliat such patients would glve the lcmedy a fair trial by boiling a dozen of the red garden snails every day in n quart of Bwoet milk or whey for half nn hour, then straining tlte liquor through n cearse cloth and drinking it with sugar c.-ery morning gradually upon nn empty stomach, and repenting these draughts for a month or two if required. This red garden snail has also been used externally in the open hemorrhoids, where fresh snails were applied every two or three hours, in n raw state, with remarkable success. The large Reman or edible snail is re nowned both as a delicacy and en ac count of its reputed virtues ns a remedy in cases of consumption, which it is said has in several instances been entimlv cured by a regimen of the mucilage from these snails. On the continent the Ro Re man snail is considered a great delicacy; but the garden and yellow banded snails nre the kinds morc.ceiuniouly eaten. The "Bleck" Sjttem. The block system, as it is new termed in railroad parlance, is bimply the divis ion of a railway into a certain number of what are called telegraphic districts, the distance between which is determined by the amount of traffic, and each block station has signaling instruments by which the signal man can comuiunicate with the box en each side of him. New, when a train enters nny block, a scma scma scma phoie signal is lowered, and no train is allowed te fellow until the ene In front has reached the end of the block, when the signal is raised and nt the same time lowered for the block ahead, etc. The block systems in use in Eurepe nnd in the United States employ mechanical devices for lowering and raising the out door slgual; but these, it is thought, will eventually be replaced by automatic de vices. Yellow Tever. Dr. Q. M. Sternberg, who was com cem com mibsiened by the College of Phj fiicians of Philadelphia te lnvestigate the methods of protective inoculation as practiced In Brazil (by Dr. Domin Demin Domin ges Frcire) and in Mexico (by Dr. Cargena y Vnlle), reported tliat farts concerning the endcniie and epidemic prevalcnce of the fever justify the belief that its cause is a micro-organism, which can, under suitable conditions, be propa gated eutside the body, as well as be capable of transport te a distance; nLe tliat, as a single attack of yellow fever, however mild, mostly protects from futuie attacks, there isicasen te bone tliat such piotcctieii might be gained by inoculation. The yellow fever germ probably gains cntrance Inte the body by the respir atory or alimentary tracts, or through the surface of the body, or it is possible that it multiplies in insanitary localities and develops a volatile jwisen which contaminates the nir. The former hypo thesis, tliat it enters the body and mul tiplies within it, is, lie thinks, the mera prebable. Hitherto the germ has net been found in the bleed and tissues of these attacked, for Dr. Sternberg does net confirm the alleged discovery made by Dr. Dominges l'reire. Ner is there, iu Dr. Sternberg's opinien.vany satisfac tory evidence that the method of inocu lation practiced by Dr. Dominges Freire has any prophylactic alue, and the same applies te the claims put forward by Dr. Carmena y Vulle, of Mexico.
