New York Hercad: Let Captain Parson,
R N. R. pull down thebrooni which he has
been flying from the mast head of the White
Star steamier Majestic since August 5th.
A new queen of the sea was crowned
yesterday, when the Majestic's sister ship
Teutonic, Captain Irving, R. N. R., arrived
at New York, after having smashed all
-previous records with a phenomenal run of
5 days, 16 hours and 31 minutes, from
Roche's Point, Queenstown, to the Sandy
Hook lightship.
The best run previous to this eplendicl per-
iormance was made by the Majestic ngust
5th of tide month, when she arrived off
Sandy Hook 5 days, 18 hours and 8 minutes
from Queenstown. Before that 5 days, 19
hours and 18 minutes had been the record,
held by the Inman steamer City of Paris
since August 28th, 1889.
This time, though, there is believed to
be no doubt about the time made by the
Teutonic, and she stands the undisputed
holder of all ocean records.
wIIAT THE LoCi SlioWED.
This is the record of the Teutonic's runs
by days:
August 14 460 August17 510
.August 15 490 Augus118 517
...a.ngust 10 , . 605 To Sandy Hook.— 290
Total —2,778
The Teutonic arrived at the lightship at
twenty-four minutes before 2 o'clock yester-
day morning, lopping off nearly two hours
from the five days and three-quarters' trip
of the Majestic, and bringing joy to the
hearts of those who predict that the trans-
atlantic voyage will yet be made in five days
and a half.
Captain Irving was feeling very happy
yesterday, and when I asked him if we
should have the pleasure of congratulating
him again before long, the Captain said,
'modestly "Tho log shows that on the
fifth day we broke the record of day's run-
g by making 517 miles, and I suppose we
might do that every day under the same
conditions.
Chief Engineer Hugh Curry was no less a
happy man than his commander. "If any
one gives us anything to do," said he, "we'll
silo it. The Majestic did give us something
to do and we attended to the work cut out
for us, didn't we ?"
HOW IT WAS DONE.
Engineer Curry said the average revolu-
tions of the screw were about eighty to the
minute, except on the day of the longest
run, when they went up to eighty-one.
The horse power was at times as high as
20,000 and from that down to 15,000. The
average speed per hour was 20.35 knots, or
23.40 miles. The Teuton's coal consumption
averaged about three hundred tons every
twenty-four hours.
The Teutonic, for the first two days out,
had head winds, which made the prospect
for a record breaking voyage look dis-
couraging, but after that the weather was
fair and the great runs were made. The
rim of 517 miles beat the single day record
of 515 which was held by the City of Paris,
although the Majestic held the record of the
ocean trip.
The excitement among the passengers
over the race against tirne was great after the
first two days out. On the fifth day out
the popping of champagne corks greeted the
announcement of the greatest single clay's
record ever made.
EOR.HER RECORD BREAKERS.
This is a list of steamers which have
'broken the ocean record since the transat-
lantic lines began to call at Queenstown for
their mails in 1866, the time always being
reckoned from the moment the steamers
passed the Roche Light, at Queenstown,
until they arrived off the Sandy Hook light-
ship:

All told, the Teutonic carried 1,370 pas-
sengers, of which number 290 were first-
class, 180 second-class and 900 steerage.
The Teutonic's course took her just 2,778
miles, or one mile more than the 2,777 made
by the Majestic when she broke the record.
The Teutonic left Queenston at 48 min -
ales past 1 o'clock p. m. on,Aug. 13th. At
five minutes past 2 o'clock the vessel
passed Daunt's Rock. From this point the
voyage proper began. The following are
the daily runs: Friday 460, Saturday 496,
Sunday 505, Monday 510, Tuesday 517. At
1.36 o'clock this morning the noble craft had
the Sandy Hook light -ship abeam.
When the voyage was completed
the Teutonic had covered 2,778 miles.
This is the fastest trioon record. The
Majestic, which previously beat the record,
made the run in 5 days 18 hours 8 minutes.
On the first day out a strong westerly
breeze was experienced. On the second day
I& fresh westerly breeze was blowing. On
Sunday the wind veered to the northwest
and blew moderately. During the remainder
of the run the vessel had high, variable
winds. The sea wassmooth nearly all the way
across. The Teutonic brought 290 first cabin
passengers, 180 second cabin and 900 steer-
age, and was in command of Capt. D. T.
Irving. The run of 517 miles on the 18th
is the fastest time ever made in 24 hours
by any trans-Atlantic steamer, and the
TEES of 505, 510 and 517 for three
consecutive days beats the record of the
City of Paris several miles. '

It is astonishing, says the Illust/rated
American, how rare a gift is an even
balanced judgment, able on short notice to
grasp a novel situation and even change
one's point of view for its unprejudiced
treatment, An illustration of this occurred
soine time ago in the history of a well-
known, orphan, asylum for girls. To the
board of lady managers came, one day, a
carefully written missive in the studied
English of an imperfectly educated
Getman. The writer represented him-
self as a steady and hard-working
man, who by years of in-
dustry had amassed a competence. He was
a bachelor and desired to marry, but having
made no acquaintances in Arneriea among
women and niistrusting the housevvifely
traits Of the average girl, he wrote to beg
that the guardians of the institution would
aid him in finding a helpmate. He felt sure
that within this well -kept home there ,must
be carefully -reared girls of industrious
habits and reliable character. If so, might
he have the liberty of a selection? the
letter, of whinh this is the substance, closed
with his address, both business and resi-
dence, and a goodly list of references.
The reading of the letter by the secretary
at an open meeting provoked no little mirth,
and the majority were for setting it aside
as unworthy their notice. Net so one old
lady, who, by the way, was nearly 80, and
whom one would readily excuse for any
extreme policy. She held her own counsel,
but, taking the letter, made careful ingniry
as to the writer, whom she iliscovered to be
all he claimed for himself. This fact thor-
oughly established, she then wrote him a
personal note, inviting him to be present at
the annual May -day party, soon to take
place at the institution. Meeting him she
said : "1 shall introduce you to half a
dozen of our nicest girls. Any one of them
would make any honest man a good wife.
The girls know nothing of your intention,
so you shall meet them without embarraes-
ment"
It took the stolid old Teuton but a short
time to make a selection. The man was a
comely fellow, and was accepted, and there
was a wedding, and a penniless orphan,
whose individuality had hitherto been
designated by a number, left her little iron
bedstead in the dormitory to go to a cosy
home of her own, and to be an holiest
man's wife. This was some years ago.
The happy couple have prospered, and
beneath their own vine and fig tree
(literally, for this happened in New Orleans)
have reared a healthy brood of little ones.
So much for a wise woman's judgment.
JEAN A.ND JACK.
Yesterday the Queen of England reviewed
the French and British fleets off Spithead,
amid the booming of cannon and the cheers
of the men-of-warsmen, and after it was
over the French admiral boarded the royal
yacht and paid his respects to Her Majesty,
and both, we are told, exchanged inter-
national compliments. Britain is playing
the host in grand style this season. Ger-
many's Emperor was received a short time
ago with a pomp and circumstance seldom
seen in that or any other country. The
Prince of Naples and other royalties have
also tasted of British hospitality, but yes-
terday's display of friendship on the water
was almost as great as that made for Wil-
liam on shore. What queer people those
Europeans are, says the New York Herald.
England and France are so close to each
other that a ship in midchannel can eight
both countries. Each has a lot of big war
ships lounging about with nothing better to
do than Make their crews miserable. Yet
for the first time in more than a quarter of
a century a French fleet has just visited an
English port. Why not before? Visiting
costs the respective governments little
or nothing while the vessels are
in commission and steam is up.
They have no possible reason for
fighting one another. France doesn't want
to fight any Power but Germany, while
Britain daren't get into a row with any
neighbor of her size; she isn't a bit afraid
to fight'she is merely prudent; as a nation
devoted to business should be. After their
joint fighting in the Crimea and their joint
bullying and swindling in Egypt, Britain
and France should have outgrown their
babyish pout about that old affair at
Waterloo. Indeed, they would have done
sd already could Britain have had her way,
for no nation on earth is more willing to
let bygones be bygones—when it chanced
that she came out ahead. France'however
has acted -like some of the Kentucky
families whose great -great-grandfathers
carne to blows and shotguns about a
stray cow or somethhig equally in-
significant, with the result that posterity
has had its back up ever since.
But at last England and France are rub-
bing noses by proxy through their ugly
ironclads. The English tars are playing
host in their hearty and irresistible manner,
and the Frenchmen are absorbing Plymouth
gin and Scotch whiskey, and learning to
sing "We Won't Go Home Till Morning"
and "He's a Jolly Good Fellow." Thenext
time those Frenchmen chance to sight Dover
cliffs from the decks of their respective ships
their lips will part in reminiscent smiles
instead of to show grim rows of close set
teeth. As for the Englishmen, they will
drop in at Cherbourg to return the call,
they will be filled with better brandy than
they ever get at home, they will be rushed
up to Paris to see the girls, and, finally, as
they steam away with thicker heads and
softer hearts, they will inform one another
that a Frenchman is a blanked good fellow
when you come to know him. All of which
will hasten the day when ironelads shall be
stripped to their skins and turned into col-
liers, while eighty -ton guns shall be put into
museums to show posterity what fools their
ancestors were.

SIXTY PERSONS MASSACRED.
The Crews of Two Whalers Murdered by
Arctic Savager.
A Washington, D. C., special despatch is
as follows : A catastrophe is reported by
the Treasury Department from the Arctic
regions. It is said that the crews of two
small steam whalers wintering near the
mouth of the Mackenzie, about 500 miles
east of Point 13arrow, have been massacred
by the natives of that region. All told, the
crews of the two vessels numbered over 60
persons, well equipped and provisioned for
a long siege, with rifles and ammunition,
not so much for the purpose of defence as
for supplying themselveswith game. Here-
tofore the natives have been very friendly
to the whites. Many of them are well
armed, having been supplied with rifles by
trading vessels, which have exchanged
whiskey and 6nins for furs.
While it is a new thing for whalers to
winter in the Arctic as far east as these two
steamers have, white men have spent win-
ters on shore with the natives and have
lived with a good degree of comfort. There
are several thousand natives within the
boundaries described. Reindeer, wild and
domesticated, abound, fur bearing animals
are found a day's journey into the interior,
and game birds are found in great flocks in
the open waters. Whaling crews encamped
on the land would not be under any such
strict discipline as might be enforced on
shipboard, and if their intercourse with
the natives was offensive, they have
probably been overpowered by superior
numbers.
AS TO MORNING BATHS.
Why it is Better to Bathe Just Before Going
to Bed.
Cold water is a narcotic, as alcohol is. It
deadens the sensibilities of the skin'and
hence prevents the sensation of cold. It re-
lieves the disposition to chilliness because
of this deadened sensibility, and as colds
and catarrhs are due to hyper -sensitiveness
of the skin, we readily see that the cold
morning bath prevents the cold by reducing
the sensitiveness.
But the cold morning bath does some-
thing more. It arouses nervous activity by
calling upon the vital system for increased
animal heat. The contraction of the ves-
sels due to the cold is followed by a relaxa-
tion of them, explained by the principle f
reaction, and so through the gold both
action and reaction are established, which
frequently give delusive excitements to the
victim.
The tepid or warm morning bath is a
great improvement over the cold water
bath, but even these are not to be com-
mended. Whoever would ,enjoy the best
of health should take his bath two,
three or
four times a week, and retire to bed for a
rest, thereby allowing nature to secure the
best equilibrium of her forces and promote
the best conditions of health.
But no bath should be taken while the
patient is weary from labor or excitement.
Rest is then indicated.
The bath should never be taken on a full
stomach, nor immediately before a meal, as
further power is needed for other purposes
under such circumstances.—Dr. Robert
Walter in Laws of Health.
RAIIII&CEDA'S STRAIT.
Seizing the Treasury Silver Bullion to Buy
War Materials.
A London cable says: The Times pub-
lishes a letter from Lisbon declaring that
President Balmaceda, of Chili, being Unable
to borrow money, seized the silver bullion
in the treasury of Santiago de Chili; stored
there as security for the Fiduciary circula-
tion, and tried to transport this silver
abroad as payment for ships and arms
ordered in Europe. Balrnaceda was not
able to hire a private vessel to transport the
silver, but he pursuaded the commander of
the Espiegle, a British man-of-war, to con-
vey a tnillion dollars to Montevideo. The
Times says it is is confident this was done
without the consent of the British admiralty,
adding that it seems as though a British
man -of war had been made the accomplice
of a downright robbery. The transaction,
tho Times says, demands a full investiga-
tion.

of Croat Benefit
Derived From

from neuralgia, in my head, back and
limbs, which were very exhausting.
But I am glad to say that soon after I
began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla I saw
that it was doing me good. I have
now taken three bottles and am entirely
Cured of PkIeuraigia.
I am gaining in strength rapidly, and
can take a two-mile walk without feel-
ing tired. I do not suffer nearly so
much from catarrh, and find that as my
strength increases the catarrh decreases.
I am indeed a changed woman, and
shall always feel grateful to Hood's Sar-
saparilla for what it has done for me.

While excavating in the churchyard of
St James' Episcopal Church for the founda-
tion of the new Sunday School building,
the workmen came across the body of a.
woman in an almost complete state of petri-
faction. The coffin had been resting in
what appeared to be a spring of strongly
alkaline water, and the body had become
so impregnate& with the lime salts as to be
of the consistency of hard lime or plaster
of Paris. With the exception of one foot,
which was badly decomposed, all the parts
were distinctly recognisable, the most dis-
tinctive feature being a large bony growth
upon one side of the face. The bandage
which had been tied over the head to retain
the lower jaw in position was still ;intact,
and the fact that it was left there instead of
being removed after the muscles had
become fixed, as is the usual custom'sug-
gests that this was the body of some prisoner
from the jail a number of whom are known
I to have been buried there.
