A new, harmless and easily obtainable cure for the liquor habit, saj s an exchange, has been discovered that will outrival the famous Keeley cure. A gentleman who has been addicted to the liquor habit says that he has discovered oranges to be a certain cure for the habit. He drank heavily and during a siege of illness ate a couple of oranges each morning before breakfast. Strange to say he was not desirous after devouring them to take his regular “mornin’s morning.” He now eats between two to six oranges daily and the result has practically thrown away all desire for
liquor.
The reception given by the members of the Theta Alumnae Club at the residence of Mrs. DeMotte, the quests being representatives of the Woman's, Gentlemen's, Century, Coterie, Over the Tea Cnps, Art, Equal Citizens, Columbian, Art and South End Clubs, demonstrated that they knew just how to adorn and decorate the hospitable mansion, and also just how to'contribute the greatest measure of entertainment to their guests. The floral garnishment of the parlors and dining room was very beautiful; each guest was presented with “only a pansy blossom,” greatly enhanced in value, however, because of the donors and the mode and manner of donation; the affair was a charming success and will be icrnembered as one of the pleasing society events of the year.

Hoed this advice given by a sensible one in a sensible mamer: If you have a tale of woe choke it off, step on it, ram it back into the skeleton closet and nail the door. The world loves you in sunshine and despises you in tears. Sometimes the temptation is very great to tell one’s sorrow. It seems as if they might be cast aside in that way; but you tell of your sorrow to your particular friend and it goes to her particular friend and to the particular friend of somebody else, and in time it is the gossip of the town, and you are justly to blame for not keeping your affairs to yourself.

“Spooning.”
There is talk, and report is that arrangements are partially made give a “spooning” party in this city in two or three weeks. A young lady in society gives out the information and also tells us the characteristics of a “spooning” party. She says they take their name from a good old English word, which was intended to ridicule the alleged fantastic actions of a young man or a young woman who is in love. For some reason which no one ever could explain, ev erybody pokes fun at the lover, fact, that unhappy character is never heroic in real life, no matter what gobs of heroism are piled about him on the stage, and in all the romantic story books. The girl in love, and the boy in love, are said to be
“spooney.”
When a “spooning” party is given those in charge of the event receive a spoon from each person who attends, or else presents each guest with a spoon. These spoons are fancifully drtssed in male anti female attire, and are mated either by the similarity of costume or by a distin guishing ribbon. The girls and boys whose spoons are mates are expected to take care of each other during the continuance of the social gathering. Of course, the distribution of the spoons io made with the greatest possible carefulness, the aim being to so place them as to properly’ fit the case of the young people to whom they aro presented. The preference of each spooney is well known, and they are the source of no end of fun. It is possible, also, that they serve as aids to matrimony as well, and are therefore commendable, since an avowal is made more easy to a diffident swain after ho feels that his passion is not a secret, but that his weakness for a spooney maiden is known to his friends and enemies on the committee which dispenses the spoons. It may be mentioned that after the spoons have been distributed among the guests, each couple retires for consultation regarding the reasons which caused the award of mated spoons in their case. This consultation is known by the name of “spoonGeorge M. Black has opened up a
admiration of the world. The best and a little better than tho best that the nations of the earth have turned out, perhaps, has been claimed for our cruisers, a claim not successfully disputed; thus being able to “light and run away” with the best of them, Uncle Sam has now turned his attention to the means of “dogged fighting,” no running at all. Indiana has been highly honored by having the lirst great vessel of this class named after her. This great war machine is supposed to embody the acme of
naval architecture, of lighting ability
and of endurance, and to bo the compeer of anything ailoat equal in point of guns and size. This means that in the chances of war the Indiana could lay alongside the most powerful vessel in the world and “give and take,” and if tho ancient superiority of American seamen is inherited and the modern promise of American ship building has been realized, the chances are that the Indiana would
steam into port to tell the news. This great ship was built at the
shipyards of Wm. Cramp & Sons, Philadelphia, and it is considered by them to be their linest production. It was begun on tho 7th of May, 1891, and will be placed in commission during the next month. Its princi-
pal dimensions are as follows:
Length of Ip ad line 348 ft Breadth, extreme. 69 ft 3 in Draught of water 21 ft Displacement 10,288 tons
im speed i*» 1-10 knots
Sustained speed 15 ft Indicated horse power 9,000 tons Normal coal supply 1,800 tons
The Indiana is built of steel. It
has a double bottom for the distance of 186 feet extending for the length covered by machinery and magazine spaces; thus all the vital portions are metal protected and every feature is provided to enable it to cope success-
fully with vessels of the heaviest ar
mor and armament. The forward and aft turrets ol tho 13-inch guns mark the extremities of the obstructions upon tho main deck every point forward and aft to the ends of the vessel, respectively, no further obstacles present themselves for uninterrupted Are, meflns having been taken to remove or turn down any erections which may obviate this end.

Tiie estimated population of the world on January 1, 18‘Ji, was 1,500,000,000. The microscope shows that the human body ii covered with scales, each scale covering 500
pores.
Figures by experts in vital statistics prove tliat not less tliau J,SIT,500,000 human beings die on our globe each century. Huxley's tables show that the human body is made up of 13 diflerent elements, of wh ich five arc gases and eight solids. Only six persons out of each 1,000 born live to be 75 years old, and only one out of the same number reaehes the century mark. The latest anthropological statistics prove that in America the daily, monthly and yearly number of births exceed the deaths in the ratio of 3 to 1, The average height of man in the I'nited States is 5 feet 10' v inches: in England, 5 fed 9 inches; in France, 5 feet 4 inches; in Belgium. 5 feet 6*. £ inches. Germany is far ahead of other countries in the number of telephones. In the whole of France there are not so many telephones as there nre in Berlin alone. Vital statistics prove that, taking the world over, there arc 109 women to every 100 men Out of every nine sudden deaths reported eight of the number are men. A red sunset foretells dry weather, because it indicates that the air toward the west, from which quarter rain may generally be ex pected, contains litt’e moisture.

the discunsion of the free coinago of s 'r or at a r.ttio of 16 to 1 now in pro-
gress in several States.
Tho statement is untrue that was sent out from Washington a few days ago by one of the news associations that the President and all the Federal oflieeholders under the command of the President were to marshal as a grand army to resist the advance of silver sentimont. Nor is it true that opposition to free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to X is to be made a tenet of party faith by the
President.
Mr. Cleveland and his advisors aro ••gry much opposed to the free coingo of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 for he reason that they believe such a olicy would bo destructive of the usiness interests of the country, ’he President, as he has often stated n his public communications, is a •imetallist. He has stated publicly n his communicetions to Congress ind semiofficial communications (trough the press that he is a fYiend tf silver, and in private conversation the President reiterates this declaration. The President does not believe that those who are advocating the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 are wise friends of silver. Being convinced that a depreciated currency would upset the business of the country and endanger the prosperity of the people the President is opposed to free coinage unless by international
agreement.
The eorrespondeni is assured that the President and all tho members of his Cabinet, with the exception of two, are bimetallists. Secretary Morton and Secretary Lamont are in favor of the single gold standard. It was believed tor a time that the Attorney General was a monometallist of tiie gold school also, but but your correspondent is reliably informed that Mr. Olney is a bimetallist, and much more friendly to silver than other members of tho Cabinet, who have posed as advocates of silver until quite recently. The administration will do everything that is legitimate and proper to convince the people that the tree coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 would be dangerous, but there will be no pressure brought to bear by the administration to control the opinions of oflieeholders or individual Democrats throughout the States. It will be a contest of reason and not
of coercion.
