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,

the chapeh between the buttresses,

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

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

the Conge river te relieve Einin Pasha,
who was reported hemmed in by hostile
tribes in his prevlncq lying upon the
Upper Nile, for n, time sent back reliable
information; but at last his voice ns

TIIE GAME OF "HOP.'
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

Dreams and Celncldcenea.
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

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

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.
