NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY 3L Hats 1 BENNINQTON, VT. J. 'HALL Use Electric Trucks. Electric trucks have been Introduced by the company which controls nearly all the docks of the Brooklyn water front with great success. Formerly trucks run on three wheels were used, and these were drawn by horses.

The matter of transportation by this means was always necessarily slow, and the action of the feet of the animals tramping constantly over the wood covering of the piers made the item of repairs a very heavy one. The new trucks carry three times as much as the horse drawn ones, besides reducing the cost of dock reualis to a minimum. Bros, 3 STORM PLAYS A QUEER PRANK. Twitted All Four MaaU of Sohoonjr James B. Drake.

The four-masted schooner James B. Drake is at McPhee's shipyard In Boston undergoing repairs or one of the most peculiar accidents In the history of navigation. While cruising ia southern waters the schooner was caught In a cyclonic storm which revolved around the vessel in such a manner that all four of her masts were twisted in their steps. When the ship carpenters investigated the schooner preparatory to beginning their work they could scarcely believe their eyes. Plainly some rotary motion of wind and storm had caught the poles In a leverage, forcing them Just half way around.

No explanation is offered for the masts not coming out of the vessel. All four are standing and have been carrying sail all the way to port. No other damage was received during tne storm, and although the masts were turned they were not injured in the least. The accident Is the first of its kind In the memories of the oldest navigat ors about the harbor. They say that of all the freaky gales reported of the tropics this is the strangest, and many refused to believe the story until they had visited the yard and viewed the schooner themeelves.

The distinction is evidently made by his sense of smell and at a considerable distance. Blind horses, as a rule, will gallop wildly about a pasture without striking the surrounding fences.

Antidote for Pneumonia. I first satisfied myself of the efficacy of my serum by experiments on animals. Then trials were made last winter in the St. Elizabeth and Stuy-venburg hospitals in Antwerp. Several of the patients had pneumonia in an advanced stage, and were also habitual drunkards, which always increases the gravity of the danger In every case the serious symptoms were completely arrested within 36 hours, while the temperature and pulse again became normal.

These results, says Dr. Bertrand of Antwerp In the Pittsburg Gazette-Times, were obtained with a total dose of serum not exceeding eight cubic centimeters, Injected by doses of one or two cubic centimeters at a time. There la no known serum which takes effect with such small doses. Confession of Venus. Long after the visitors' hour In the art gallery the statues engaged In conversation.

"Say, Vene," called Neptune's daughter, "tell ss the truth. How did you lose your arms?" "You won't breathe It to any one?" asked Venus. "You don't mean to say that a woman would tell a secret, do you?" "Well, I'll tell you. I was trying to get my hands over my 'Merry Widow hat to attach the hat pin and my arms snapped off." And the statues laughed so hilariously that Mars awoke from his nap and grabbed his spear. At the Summer Cottage.
