Providence by
_ the manner in
which tb e y
live, their disregard of the laws of health
and their utter failure to protect health
when it is threatened and restore it when

sidered incurable. Now it is known that
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will
I cure 98 per cent, of all cases if taken in

thirty years. Many of the thankful patients
have permitted their names, experiences
and photographs to be reproduced in Dr.
Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser.
Any sufferer who wishes to investigate
' these cases may secure a copy of this book

cover cost of mailing' only, to the World's
Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo,
N. Y., and then write to the patients them
selves. In consulting Dr. R. V. Pierce by
letter, the sufferer consults a skillful spe

consulting physician to the great Invalids'

physicians, he has successfully treated tens

THE NAMES OF FLOWERS
Pretty and Teculiar Ximei Given to Them
and Their Origin.
The gladlolns (little sword), Is so
called probably from its sharp, sword
ehaped leaves; and the eglantine, (di
minutive of the French aiguille,) from
its piercing, needle-like thorns, says a
writer in St. Nicholas. Cocoanut is
from the Spnnish coco, or bugbear, de
scriptive of the queer, impish little
face at the base of the hairy nut.
Nasturtium, which means "nose
twister," gives a picture of the per
son smelling the blossom and invol
untarily contorting his features from
the stinging and pungent odor. Pink
introduces us to a group of words
that at first sight seem very oddly i!'-
matehed, for this daintily edged flower
gets its name pink from the Dutch
verb pinken, to pick out with a sharp
instrument, as a border is pinked in
notched scallops for decoration.
Charming pictures are given by the
"sun-dew," with its sparkling leaves;
"the Daisie, or else the eye of the
day," as Chaucer calls it. from its
habit of opening at dawn, and the
asters aro the "stars" of the field.
The exquisite blue speedwell and the
beckoning sprays of traveler's joy
seem to fling us greetings from mead
ow ana liedge-row. The bright little
heartease preaches content, and there
is a sort of moral in the rough brush
wood and tangled vines dabrusca) and
: the kindred adjective brusque. The
old word teasen meant to card wool.
I and hence we get both "tease," which
j Is a rubbing up the fur in a wrong di
; rection, to speak figuratively, and
i teasel, a prickly, tliistle-like plant
i whose flower-heads, when dry, are
sometimes used for raising the nap on
woolen cloth.
Freight Cars.
The introduction of freight cars of
80,000 pounds to 110,000 pounds car
rying capacity renewed the "large
car" question, which is always a fruit
ful subject for discussion among rail
way officials of the operating and ear
departments. The 60,000-pound car
which has been practically the stand
ard, dates back only to ISSS. In ISTo
the normal capacity was from 20,000
to 25.000 pounds, and in ISB. r > this nor
mal capacity had grown to 40.000 and
50,000. In that year a committee of
the Master Car Builders' Association
made a report recommending certain
standard dimensions for GO,OOO-pound
cars, but such cars were then quite
exceptional.
Few cars of less than GO,OOO pounds
capacity are now built for ordinary
freight service, but on the other hand
there is a decided tendency to increase
the capacity to 70,000 and SO,OOO
pounds. Even this is not the limit,
however, for several hundred steel
cars of 100,000 pounds, and even 110.-
000 pounds capacity, are in service.
The Whitehead Torpedo.
Tho Whitehead torpedo, of which so
much is heard, is 16 feet 5 inches lonpr,
17.7 inches greatest diameter, and
weighs ready for service, 1,100
pounds. It carries 220 pounds of wet
guncotton at a speed of about 28 knots
per hour, and at that speed it has a
range of about 850 yards. This tor
pedo is built of steel and is propelled
by two two-bladed screws, revolving
In opposite directions on the same
axis, to neutralize the rolling tenden
cy of the torpedo. The screws are
operated by a three-cylinder engine
driven by air compressed to 1,350
pounds per square Inch; and an intri
cate apparatus, called the Obry gear.
Is used to automatically keep the tor
pedo pointed straight during the run.
This Obry gear is essentially a gyro
scope controlling the valves of the
steering engine, which operates two
rigid'.y connected vertical rudders.
Copper Supply of Newfoundland.
The copper supply of Newfoundland
}s said to be practically inexhaustible.
Tho island is now the sixth copper pro
ducing country in the world. This in
dustry was first established in New
foundland in ISG4, when Tilt Cove
began to occupy the attention of cap
italists. During recent years very sat
isfactory results have been achieved
in that district. These mines pro
duced last year over seventy thousand
tons of ore at a profit of more than
§115,000. The records for 189G are
somewhat incomplete, but they show
an export from Newfoundland of 4G0,-
311 tons of copper ore, 50,730 tons of
regulus, and 5,240 of ingots, valued at
about $11,500,000. It is estimated that
the country has produced fifty thou
sand tons of fine copper, worth fifteen
million dollars, the greater part of this
being turned out during the past
tweuity-five years.
Ancient Marble Ouarrlec.
The ancient marble quarries in Syn
nada arc again being worked. The
quarries are situate some 20 kiloms
from Karahissar, and the marbles,
called Phrygian, Mygdonians or Do
cimia. were in ancient Rome regarded
as emblems of luxury and wealth.
Many sorts are found, namely, white
statuary marble of a remarkably fine
grain; a transparent marble similar to
onyx and also yellow, blue and gray
marbles, all very fine.
New Swedish Railway
Both houses of the Swedish Reks
dag have adopted in principle the Gov
ernment bill for the construction of a
railway from Gillwaxa to the North
ern frontier. Sweden, as well as Nor
way, has to a great extent been neg
lected by our manufacturers, although
they would offer a very valuable out
let for most of our manufactured
goods.

HAMILTON FISH, 3D.
TTi• Toting Stw Torker Who Mat D«*th
In Cuba.
Hamilton Fish, third, belonged to
one of the best known families of New
York. His father, Nicholas Fish, is
a banker at 120 Broadway and lives
at 16 Irving place. One of his uncles
is Stuyvesant Fish, President of the
Illinois Central railroad. Another un
cle Is Hamilton Fish, who was speaker
of the New York Assembly in ISOS
and 1896. His grandfather was the
first Hamilton Fish, who was Secre
tary of State under Grant.
Young- Fish was about 26 years old.
Like most members of the family he
was very tall, standing 6 feet, 3 inches
in his stocking feet. He was of pow
erful build, though stoop-shouldered.
For two or three years he was a stu
dent at Columbia University, of which
his father has been a trustee for many
years. He gave little attention to his
studies, but devoted a good deal to
athletics, particularly to rowing. He
was one of the strongest oars in the
Columb:a 'Varsity crew of 1595, which
upset all calculations by defeating
Cornell and the University of Pennsyl
vania at Poughkeepsie. Soon after
this Fish left college and went out to
Utah to rough it on a railroad. For
several months he worked as a brake
man, at the end of which time h*
jammed his index finger in coupling
cars. He came back to New York in
1596 to have the finger amputated, and
remained here most of the time until
six or eight months ago.
Fish was always of a roving and ad
venturous disposition, and It was
merely a verification of his friends'
predictions when news came from the
West that "Ham" Fish had joined
Roosevelt's rough riders. While the
regiment was In process of organiza
tion at San Antonia, Tex., Fish receiv
ed a Sergeant's commission in h'.a
company.
Fish's prowess was displayed on sev
eral occasions while he was in this city
in fist fights which he had, in most of
which he was victorious. In spite of
these exploits. Fish was ordinarily the
best natured of men. and had hosts of
friends who swore by him, many of
them Columbia students and members
of prominent New York families.
Fish was a member of the Union
League Club and the St. Nicholas so
ciety. He belonged to the Delta I'si
college fraternity.
Capt. Allyn Capron was born iu
Florida, and entered the Military
Academy in 1563. He was graduated
in ISG7, and received an appointment
as Second Lieutenant of Artillery. In
IS7I he became First Lieutenant, and
Captain in 188 S. He was graduated
from the Artillery School with honor
In 1573. Capt. Capron was in com
mand of Company E of the First Artil
lery, and was twenty-fifth on the list
for promotion.
Among the wounded was Major Bell,
a Pennsylvanian. He served during
the civil war in the Eighty-sixth Ohio,
and when honorably mustered out he
became Captain of an independent
company of cavalry which he raised in
his native state. Afterward he served
as a Captain in the Thirteenth Penn
sylvania Cavalry until in 1865 he was
mustered out The next year he was
appointed Seoond Lieutenant in the
Seventh regular cavalry. He became
First Lieutenant in 1567, Captain In
1876, and in 1596 he was promoted to
Major of the First Cavalry. He was
brevetted Lieutenant-Colonel in 1390
tor gallant services.
Capt. Knox is in command of Com
pany Kof the First Cavalry. He is a
Tennesseean and entered the Military
Academy in 1866. He was appointed
Second Lieutenant In IS7O, First Lieu
tenant in 1877 and Captain in 1889.
Capt. McCormick was born in Ohio,
and entered West Point in 1872. He
was graduated in 1876 and was appoin
ted Second Lieutenant in the Tenth
Cavalry. He became First Lieutenant
in 1878 and Captain in 1895. He is a
graduate of the infantry and cavalry
school.
Lieut. Byram was bom in Mississ
ippi and was graduated from West
Point in 1885, receiving an appoint
ment, as Second Lieutenant in the First
Cavalry. He was made a First Lieu
tenant in 1892.
ILnrgcat Mail J* A German.
If greatness b« put to the test of avoir
dupois, the place of honor must be ac
corded Morice Cannon, a native of the
small frontier town of Stein, in the
State of Constance, Germany. This
Teuton is said to "turn the scale" at
fifty stone, and may claim to be the
heaviest man on earth. He measures
over 100 inches round the waist, and
64 inches round the thigh; his enor
mous weight does not apparently in
convenience Mm, for he is active and
in robust health. He is described as a
well-to-do, middle-aged, good-looking
farmer, who is also a keen sportsman,
being an excellent all-round shot with
the rifle. Naturally his gigantic pro
portions have made him an object of
curiosity in his part of Germany.
A Trade That Kills.
Makers of wall-paper grow pale and
ick from the arsenic in its coloring
and matchmakers lose strength and
vitality from the excess of phosphorus
used in their business. But mankind is

Oibralter was taken by the English
in 1704. during the war of the Spanish
succession, a war which was provoked
by the aggressive policy oi France in
endeavoring to place a monarch of the
French family upon the Spanish
throne, and tu'.s consolidate the two
kingdoms into cue. The fortress was
then captured, aluost by surprise,
though the Spaniaids and French, ap
pelating the strategic value of the
place, made des e.ate efforts to re
cover it. but we.e lepulsed at every
point. Retv.een the date of its capture
Ltii 177S ie r c ud efforts were made
by Spain to reiuver the fortress, and in
the laiter ye. tae greatest armament
that was ever bio.:-ht to bear upon a
besieged piai e !;iy~ before Gibraltar.
The lasied. off and on, for many
moi.tiis. T.ie Investing force comprised
I2.0«J0 troops of France, over twice as
many t.f the test infantry of Spain,
and the fleet consisted of forty-seven
sh.ps. all three-deckers: ten great
floating batteries, esteemed invincible*,
cairying 212 guns, innumerable frig
ates, bomb-ketches, cutters, gun and
mortar boats. For weeks together over
6.000 shells a day were thrown into the
town and repeated attempts were made
to storm the works, but the little gar
rison of only 7.000 men rebelled every
assault and finally succeeded in belt
ing off the allied fleet. The blockade
began June 21. 177 W. and lasted until
February. 1783, when the garrison was
finally relieved by the arrival of a I
British fleet and army. Since that
time the fortifications of Gibraltar
have been so improved and increased
that it is regarded as the strongest
fortress in the world. The British gov
ernment maintains there a garrison of
from 5,000 to 10.000 m«n, with pro
visions for six months, and it is said
the supply of military material is suf
ficient to enable the fortress to stand a
siege of indefinite length.

Heavy single doors, such as are
used in the United States, are practi

either at entrances or between in

middle and are fastened with bolts
top and bottom. Exterior doors ara

they also serve as windows. All such
doors opening on the street or open

that are folded at the sides out of

A good Mexican cook relieves the
mistress of the house of worry and

most unknown iu the United States.
The cook is given so much a day, and
with this amount she will purchase
each morning all the provisions for
the day. including even the staples
that are usually bought in large quan
tities in other countries. On a dol'ar
a day a cook will provide a very good
table for a fautilj of three or four,
and get enough beans and tortillas
and chile to set the servants' table be
sides. Tney can really do better than
their mistresses, because they can us
ually drive sharper bargains with the
inarketmen of their own class, and
they have more patience to haggle
over the last penny.
