' Oil on the Water.
The new life float which is supplied with a
reservoir of oil, in order to support bodies in
the water, is based on the recent cases of suc-
cessful experience with oil in overcoming the
power of waves, and thus saving life and
property from destruction. The reservoir in
this case is provided with an outlet, by means
of which the oil may escape automatically,
no matter on which side the float, or buoy,
may bo turned when thrown into the water,
or to which it may be impelled by the waves
when once in the water. Thus, by means of
the escaping oil, the surrounding water is ex-
pected to become sufficiently calm to enable
the float to be discovered at a farther dis-
tance than it otherwise could be, and a calm
space secured around the float for the preser-
vation of life.—Boston Transcript.
The New’ York Times is authority for
the statemen' that Texas mustang horses
are taking the places of the large sized
horses hitherto used on the surface street
car lines in that city. The Times says:
“The number of the little horses in use
here is daily increasing for several rea-
sons. They eat less than a big horse;
they keep in better condition; they are
lesssubiect to disorders; they have much
more endurance; and after they are once
trained they work together with as much
ease as their more civilized brothers. The
mustangs are purchased in Texas by the
agents of the company, which no longer
depends upon the horse-trading talents
of firms in this city. They are sent heie
1 batches of twenty and forty, and are
at first as wild as a Manitoba blizzard.”

T. S. Tinsley, a prominent aichitect
and inventor of Kansas City, is reported
to have discovered a method of produc-
ing sterilized air. The value of the dis-
covery is stated to be that all surgical
operations can be performed by its use
without danger of subsequent inflamma-
tion. Mr. Tinsley claims that the steri-
lized air will destroy all germs and
microbes which, exist in the atmosphere.
His idea is tint the inflammation in
wounds is due to the action of microbes,
and that if they are eliminated the
wounds will heal rapidly at the first in-
tention without suppuration.

The Chamber of Torture
Is -the apartment to which the happy
sufferer from inflammatory rheumati m
is confined. If ere the crisis of pain is
reached, that fine preventative, Hostet-
ter’s Stomach Bitters, is used by persons
of a rheumatic tendency, muchunneces
sary suffering is avoided. Nervines, an-
odynes aad sedatives, while having none
but a specific effect, are yet very desira-
ble at times. Yet can they produce no
lasting effect upon rheuma ism, because
they have no power to eliminate from
the blood the rheumatic virus. Hostet
ter’s Stomach Bitters does this, checks at
the outset a disease which, if allowed to
gain headway, it is next to impossible to
dislodge or to do more than relieve.
Rheumatism, it should be remembered,
is a disease with a fatal tendency from
its proneness to attack the heart. A re
sort to the Bitters should therefore be
prompt. Dyspepsia, kidney complaint,
malaria and nervousness are relieved by
it.

Something of Its Origin and How It Is
Played in America.
Bowling is an ancient and noble sport. At
an early period it was a favorite pastime in
England. It was first played on the open
ground. It was the custom to clean up, shave
and roll the turf and then bowl with balls
which were flat on one side. It became so
popular as a means of sport and gambling
that during the reign of King Henry VIII it
was prohibited by a law, which was not re-
pealed until 1845.
At an early period in the history of Amer-
ica it was introduced in this country and was
very popular.
Every one who has been much in New York
city is familiar with the open park on lower
Broadway near the Battery, which is still
known to many as Bowling Green.
In the historic days, when that part of the
city was New Amsterdam, this open space
was used as a public bowling ground. Hence
the name.
In more modern times the game of “bowls”
has been improved upon, and it is now known
as ten pins, and rolled on alleys from fifty to
sixty-five feet in length, made of hard wood
and perfectly even. The pins are set up so
the front pin stands out alone and the pins
follow so that it makes a pyramid, and a
well directed ball hitting the center pin in
the right way will knock them all. These
pins are of swamp elm and weigh about two
and one-half pounds each.
The balls used are of lignum vitae wood,
from South America. It is the hardest wood
known and is without a grain. The balls
weigh from one pound to twenty, and cost
from to $9 each, according to size. The
pins when set up, as described above, are
called a frame. In ten pins there are three
fraTnes, and the player is allowed three balls
at each frame. It is possible for him to
make ninety, but twenty-seven is the general
average. If a man knocks all of them down
at one roll they are reset, and he has three
rolls. If he knocks but a part of them he
rolls at the pins remaining. A large ball
rolled down the alley makes a loud, rumbling
noise.
Washington Irving, in his touching story
of “Rip Van Winkle,” alludes to the distant
mutterings of thunder as the noise of “Hein-
rich Hudson” and his band playing at ten
pins in the Catskill mountains. In ten pins a
large or medium ball is generally rolled. If
it runs off the alley it goes “into the gutter,”
and is called a “poodle.”
At the opposite end of the alleyjs located a
boy, who sets up the pins. Hit is the stor-
miest position of all, as some of the wild
rollers send a ball down so swiftly that it is
pleasant to be as far away from it as possi-
ble. The boy rolls back the balls to a player
on a rack that looks like a water drain,
which is elevated a few feet from the floor,
and extends the length of the alley.
It will cost $200 to build and equip an
alley. In the public resorts there are gener-
ally three alleys together, built at a cost of
$600. For a game with two playing the cost
is 15 cents, / and each additional player
increases the cost 5 cents. At the end of
each game checks are given, good for 5
cents at the bar.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Little Wanderer.
A private letter from Fort Supply, in the
Indian Territory, relates a pathetic story of
the wanderings in the wilderness of a mere
baby, with only a little dog for its faithful
guide and companion. Some twelve miles
from the fort there lives on a ranch a woman
who supplies the post with dairy products.
She had three small children. The second of
these, a wee, brown eyed, fair haired baby of
2 years, had a little dog who was her in-
separable companion. One day neither could
be found. The anxious mother locked up her
two other children, and, getting a cowboy to
accompany her, started forth on horseback
to search for the infant wanderer. All day
long she scoured the country, finding no
trace. A searching party from the post met
with no better success.
Mrs. Gilman, the wife of one of the officers,
was, however, so strongly impressed with a
conviction that the child had not perished
that, in response to her entreaties, another
party was organized and again set forth to
continue the quest. This time there were 150
men riding in all directions. On the fifth day
of the search a detachment espied the little
dog crawling out from under a cliff above a
tiny stream. They went to it, and there,
lying on the ground, found the poor baby.
Its little bruised and swollen feet had wan-
dered full fifteen miles from home. It was
still alive, but died before reaching home.
The poor, faithful dog had clung to his play-
fellow all the time and had led her to the
water. Tracing back the trail over which
these small travelers had wandered, it ap-
peared that they had gone where no foot of
man could tread. In some places they must
have fallen over ledges and rolled down
declivities, and they had crawled along pre-
cipices where the steadiest head might have
g.'own dizzy.—New York World.
I Croup is a terror to poung^ mothers
especially during the wirter months as it
is then most prevalent, [t can always be
prevented, if properly treated as soon as
the first symptoms appear. Hoarseness
is the first symptom ; thisis soon followed
by a peculiar, rough ccugh. If Cham-
berlain’s Cough Remedy is freely given
as soon as these symptoms appear, it will
invaribly prevent the attack. T' ere is
no danger in giving the remedy, as it
contains no injurious mbstance.

The Cost of Electric Street Lighting.
"he following figures of the charges for
lighting streets with arc lamps are of inter-
est. They have been quoted from a commu-
nier.tion of the Boston Citizens’ association,
wh ii was addressed to the board of alder-
mc . of that city for the purpose of showing
th: loston is overcharged for this service.
Fc ew York the average price is given as
341- •cuts per lamp for one night’s service.
Broi ’ 1 pays 55 cents, Buffalo 45 cents, New
Orleans 34 cents, Philadelphia 50 cents
(average), and Baltimore 50 cents. Boston
pays C ■■ cents. The Citizens’ association of
Boston claims that on the 695 lights used in
their city the reduction in cost of carbons
from ilr > figures of 1882 represents 25 cents
per la..: > for each night, an aggregate of
about to;:),COO per annum.
The pi :: -e of carbons in the last six years
has fallen to less than one-third the original
price. Y et Boston is now paying the same
rate paid in 1882—65 cents per lamp. In 1887
the sei”, c cost $131,097.97. All of this, ex-
cept $11.."tl.54, was received by one com-
pany. 1: ,is interesting to notice how im-
portant a lector carbons are in the cost of
electric arc lamps. It seems like hoping for
an impossibility to think of indestructible
electrodes being possible, yet until some ad-
vance in that direction shall have been made
the electric light will be far from perfect.—

A Strange Plant.
This splendid Euphorbia is known in Mex-
ico as “the flower of the nativity.” It is used
as a remedy in pulmonary affections. I have
never seen anything like the luxuriance of its
growth around Cuernavaca, the city where
Maximilian had his summer residence. A
great many of the euphorbaceous plants, if
not all, are called palo de leche, and their
uses are diverse. The Indians of the coast
use it for fishing, simply throwing the leaves
into the water, when the fish, stupefied, rise
to the surface. The principal use among
these people, however, is a far less innocent
one—destroying life instead of contributing
to its support. The thick, acrid, milky juice
or sap is extremely poisonous. If thrown
upon a fire it gives out fumes which produce
an agonizing headache and nausea. Taken
internally, it is a deadly poison, which
causes, according to the way it is prepared
and administered, death or insanity. It is
popularly supposed that the madness of the
ill fated Empress Carlotta was caused by
palo de leche. Mexicans often deny this
statement, but they admit and fear its deadly
power in others respects. Some few years
ago a governor of the state of Vera Cruz—I
forget his name at this moment—was given a
dose of this brebaje, as it is called, in his
coffee, and all the skill of his physicians
failed to arrest the course of the poison, from
the results of which he died in terrible agony.
It is believed also that it was given to Gen.
Luis Mier y Teran, the patriotic governor of
Oaxaca, who suffered a terrible and mys-
terious illness, with subsequent insanity, so
that he had to be removed from the charge
of government and taken to Europe.
It is strongly asseverated that the Indians
can so prepare the poison as to regulate the
period of time in which it will prove fatal.
Foreign chemists with whom I have talked
scoff at this idea, but it does not seem so
utterly improbable, in view of the exactness
with which can be determined the operation
of various germs and microbes. The fact re-
mains that palo de leche is a most powerful
and deadly substance, and many are the
tragedies enacted through its instrumentality
in the Tierra Caliente. The negation of ths
chemists and doctors is also weakened in
force by their vehement denunciations of the
practice of the Indians, whose remedies,
nevertheless, often accomplish results which
all the science of the colleges has failed to at-
tain. In dropsy, for instance, in cases where
the treatment and repeated operations by
regularly appointed practitioners had proved
totally inefficacious, the simple herbal reme-
dies of ignorant, barefooted, half naked In-
dians have in three days almost entirely re-
duced the distension and in a short period
produced a radical cure, as may be attested
by the patients, today alive, strong, well and
active in Mexico.—San Francisco Chronicle.

as though I had not eaten anything. My trou-

which is that of a painter, and from being
more or less shut up in a Sour
room with fresh paint. Last v .
spring I took Hood’s Sarsa StOmaCtt

immense amount of good. It gave me an
appetite, and my food relisied and satisfied
the craving I had previously experienced.”

SUCCESS MUST FOLLOW.
among all
We are getting there with both feet.
Three days more and then the fire-
works.
What confidence the appointment of
that special committee—Sealy, Adoue
and Weis—inspired !
When men get up in meeting and
propose to double their subscription to
the semi-centennial fund it has the effect
The big three!
----
Now there is no such word as fail.
Less than $20,000 to raise, and Sealy,
Adoue and Weis at the head of the pro-
cession.
The work will be completed Thursday
evening. This is not official, but it can
be relied, on.
The prospects for the success of the
semi-centennial celebration and the pro-
posed permanent feature attending it
could hardly be more promising.
It is true that a considerable amount
of the sum necessary remains to be
raised.
But enough has been done to warrant
the belief that in the hands of the special
committee the work will be speedily ac-
complished.
There is one feature about this under-
taking that is especially encouraging,
and that is the bridging over the chasm
that has been so long allowed to lie be-
tween the Strand and Market street
people.
For the first time in the history of the
city have the two commercial divisions,
wholesale and retail, or, more properly
speaking, Strand and Market street,
come together with their money and en-
ergy for one common purpose—the fu-
ture welfare of Galveston.
This alone is werth the effort that has
been made to celebrate the semi-centen-
nial, and the celebration of this event
should witness the firm cementation of
the two into one so closely that no trace
of the division should be left.
In the past the Strand has had to bear
the expense of all efforts to encourage
whatever was undertaken for the benefit
of the city.
This was permitted to go on from
year to year until the breach had become
a feeling of actual and half-disguised
dislike. If a retailer was asked to drop
a few shekels into Galveston’s mission-
ary box for the public good he elevated
his nose with the information that the
box should be passed only on the Strand.
To celebrate our semi-centennial Gal-
veston has united for Galveston.
Hereafter the retail merchant will
go hand in hand with the wholesale
merchant in every movement that has for
its ojbect the advancement of Galveston.
It is acknowledged that we are one
people; that this feeling between the two
commercial interests was not only un-
necessary and foolish, but an absolute
detriment to both.
The interests of one are the interests of
the other.
What benefits one in a public way
benefits the other, and each should bear
their proportion of whatever expense at-
tends the undertaking for the public
welfare.
There should be a closer relationship
—a warmer interest in the welfare of the
city and the result will soon be felt.
What more appropriate occasion on
which to lay aside past differences than
on the occasion of the celebration of the
semi-centennial of this our own dear
Galveston.
Never before in the history of the city,
at least not within many, many years, has
there been such a commingling of all the
mercantile and commercial interests of
the city as was witnessed in the meeting
at the Tremont hotel Saturday night.
It was a sight to make the hearts of
all who are earnestly trying to help to
buildup our city, glad, very glad.
The special committee appointed,
Messrs. Sealy, Adoue and Weis has in-
spired public confidence
classes.
Should their work of gleaning, oyer a
field that has already been harvested, not
secure all that is required the confidence
their efforts has inspired has insured the
success of the semicentennial celebration,
as will appear at the meeting next Thurs-
day evening.
