' ' .M.XZf' Good lil ii"t CmI from the Other Mll I : 'w-ISIlig TmhIi Importance of Ctri-r; ; V '' "-CMdlnff to Fast lUwmcr. Did you ever note the fact that one. the gTeat transatlantic gTeyhounlH dom remains in port more than a w- .During that Bhort time ehe in imlu;;... . and loaded, which, in the cane of a v. el like the Majestic or the City of .". York, means the handling of Home I 'M tons of cargo and coal. Almost all the British BteamshipH t- . over the coal to be burned in the m ; ward passage in sailing vessels, on!.- nipping enough in Liverpool for t.: western run. Thus they have m-.r. hold room for freight, for which they y, t more money than it costs to seuil ov-v oal by sail. This work of loading a vessel cam:;t be done without extreme care. The v j . afety in an ocean monster depends 1.1 a great incisure on the manner in wlik-.') her cargo ia stowed. Nothing is more dangerous to a ves-.-i tlian to have its cargo shift in roi;.- ', weather, and hence only experieiiLvil men are engaged in the stevedore bu? i news. The stevedore therefore does r i t regard himself na an ordinary I;iImi-i bat as a skilled workman. To load su. 1 unload a cargo properly is an art, for n vessel may be strained in unloading i well as in loading. Then again, the bul loading of a vessel may not only delay the voyage f greyhound, but it may cause her in labor and roll to such an extent as o render every passenger on board sea sick. HOW THE WORK 13 DISTRIBUTED. The distribution of weight so that no undue strain be sustained by the iron hull of the vessel is the problem that can be seen successfully solved every day by one curious enough to spend an hour on the docks of the great transatlantic ship companies which dot the North river up to Twenty-sixth street. The process is an interesting one. The boss stevedore, who is responsible for the carrying on of the work, stations at each hatch and side port a gang of men. The gang consists of from ten to twenty men, the number varying with the size of the vessel, the character of the goods to be handled and the distance they have to be moved. Each gang is in charge of a "leader." He receives five cents an hour more than the men under him when the work is paid for by the hour, the men receiving thirty to forty cents an hour for day work and about 6ixty cents for night work. There is also over the men a foreman, who is paid by the week and receives from twenty to thirty dollars, and an assistant foreman, who is paid by the time worked. The toaster stevedore maps out the duties of each and is re sponsible for any mistakes made in stow ing the cargo. The dnties of the master stevedore are by no means light, when one considers the varied character of the goods shipped daily across the Atlantic. He has to see that goods are not stowed together which are likely to injure one another, and that space is found for everything that comes along up to the utmost ca pacity of the ship. PAYING FOR THE WORK. The duties of the foreman relate to seeing that the goods are so stowed that the cargo cannot shift, and that the roll ing of the vessel will not damage any part of it. The stowing of the vessels of the White Star, North German Lloyds, the Inman, Guion and Hull lines is done under the control of the company. That of the other bines by contract with mas ter stevedores. Some companies pay by the ton, and others by the package. When the payment is by the ton the English ton of 2,240 pounds is the unit of weight. Light goods which have lit tle weight, but take up considerable space, are paid at so much per forty cubic feet handled. Among stevedores cotton is regarded u the hardest to stow, and railroad iron as the easiest. The iron rails are laid across the keel diagonally, and are said to strengthen the hull. When the cargo of a liner outward bound from New York is properly stowed, she will roll comparatively lit tle, as .the steerage is largely given up to cargo. Coming from the other side the case is reversed. Then. the entire steerage is occupied by passengers, with the result in rough weather that the ves - eJ will often roll her lee rail almost un der. New York Recorder. Bebind the Scenes. I got back of the scenes in a Detroit family not long ago, and I have ever since been cogitating as to whether it is - not better to be self respectful than to i Jiava undue pride. This family was .keeping tip appearances at the cost of xeal comfort. It . occupies an excellent rocial position, which it has held for years, but the family income is not such . as to make it easy to be both presentable . -and well fed. As a consequence, while a dinner is now and then given to friends the fam ily fare is very scanty, and while there is good clothing to wear for state occa sions, this is carefully preserved, and when no one is about shabbiness is the rale. It seems to me that it is wiser and more dignified for one to accept his cir cumstances as they come to him, and not attempt to lead a $10,000 life on a $2,000 income. Detroit Free Press."

It also kept good time. lie was natu rally proud of his chronometer, and was always ready to oblige his friends by letting them look into its intricate works, which you must admit showed him to a young man of marvelous good temper, But this same beautiful watch w;is the cause of his undoing .a few nights ago. I forgot to mention that the outer case of this timepiece bore the monogram "G. W. S." in brilliants, by which you may infer that his married name was Georga Washington Smith. This evening in question he and Mrs. Smith were rejoicing at dinner over the thought that they should soon see her sister, who was coming on from the west to visit them in their new home, and incidentally send on a private daily report to her mother of how George was treating Maude. They were to meet her at the Grand Central station on the ar rival of the train due at half past 9 o'clock, and decided to put in the hour and a half they had to spare by looking in at a much advertised stereopticon lec ture. They went and enjoyed themselves so well that they well nigh forgot their en gagement, but a picture of the St. Pan eras station in London made Maude gasp convulsively: "Oh, George, do look at your watcn, aear. i m so alraul we ve overstaid our time!" George made a strenuous effort to get sight of the dial in the Egyptian dark ness of the hall, but could not, and his wife noticing his difficulty said, "Touch the rejKjater spring, you goose!" The lecturer had just concluded a very sad anecdote and made an impressive pause, when the hour chime in George's watch began to fairly boom out nine strokes, it had never sounded one tenth so louu uetore, ana a nervous oiu lady a few seats back began to whimper "Fire! There was a wild craning of necks in the audience, and Mrs. Smith's cheeks be came so red that as her husband told her afterward they glowed like live coals. George wrapped first his handkerchief and then his coat about the watch, but to no effect, for both the hour and the minute bells said all they had to say in tones that vibrated painfully through the deadly stillness of the house. When they finally ceased the lecturer, with fine sarcasm, said, "Will the little boy please bring his gong up here and ring it in full view of the audience?" A shout of laughter broke the strain, and under its cover George and Maude staggered up the aisle and out into Broadway. They saw in a jeweler's window that it was twenty-five minutes past 9 o'clock (they had entirely for gotten to count the repeater strokes), and just had time enough to get up to the station in a cab and meet their guest. Mr. Smith has not worn the watch since then, ana Mrs. bmitn saia to me the other day, "Wasn't George foolish to press that repeater spring?" New York Herald. TZic Growth of tlie Skeleton. When growth is atlained the skeleton, having reached its proportions, any ad verse influence affecting the lymphatic system or nutritive supply in any way tends to produce leanness. A well de veloped man having drunk lye by acci dent, after a prolonged illness and recov ery found himself a living skeleton. A dissection of this man after death dis closed the fact that the thoracic duct had been nearly closed up. The earliest recorded example of this class was Claude Ambrose Seurat, born at Trojres, France, April 10, 1797. Ac cording to the account, at his birth there was nothing in his appearance that indi cated disease, but in proportion as he grew in size his flesh gradually wasted away. On the other hand, any influence which stimulates the nutritive mechan ism unduly degrades the secretive and assimilative functions and tends to pro duce abnormal fat. The living skeleton, with his limited capacity for food and assured income as a freak, enjoys some degree of happiness, but the fat person deserves commiseration. The statistics of this class are quite extensive. New York Times. Sherman' Remarkable Dream. Writers who have busied themselves picking tip anecdotes and incidents of the life of Sherman appear to have wholly overlooked the story of his re markable dream. It is as follows; Une mgnt the general took reiuge m an old farmhouse and had fallen into a deep sleep when he was visited by a most exciting dream. He fancied that the house in which he slept was sur rounded by a band of guerillas, who had dug a hole beneath the room in which he lay, filled it with powder and touched it off. The explosion that followed was terrible, and the general thought he saw himself flying through the air in sec tions. The shock of this terrible experi ence caused him to jump to the middle of the floor. Hastily dressing he left the building. He had not gone far into the night when a red glare shot up from the farmhouse, followed by a terrible explosion. The building was wrecked, but the dream had saved the life of the great general. St. Louis Republic. Bow to Strengthen the Eyes. A simple and excellent plan to preserve and strengthen the eyes is this: Every morning pour some cold water into your washing bowl; at the bottom of the bowl place a silver coin or some other bright object; then put your face into the wa ter with the eyes open and fixed on the object at the bottom; move your head from side to side gently, and you will find that this morning bath will make your eyes brighter and stronger, and preserve them beyond the ordinary al lotted time. New York Telegram. iciiptionA, after jonsiderable thought and close study of the latest fash ion papers, planned and di rected the mak ing of the stylish, neat-fitting "ad- ( justable"' house- dress herewith illustrated, and the result was eminently pleas ing. Her object was to produce a one-piece gown which could be as easily donned and as comfort ably worn as an ordinary wrap per, but which could be instant- fig. ly made to look HACK OF IlOl'SEr URES8. like a close-fitting costume suitable for any occasion. The entire lining and the outside of the back are cut by a plain princess pat tern. (Tig. 1.) The lining fastens in front with a smooth cord laced over small, fiat buttons on each side below tho bust. The front of the straight skirt falls in loose folcLs from three forward-turning plaits on each side, the middle plait on the left side cover ing a placket opening (which is kept from parting by two small safety-hooks and worked lcxpe), and the bottom is finished with a ruffle gathered to form a self-heading. The gunnpe is gath ered across the shoulders and neck and brought down in soft folds beneath the corslet portions which extend only to the un derarm seams. These corslet fronts are cut by an ordinary cors let pattern, omit ting the back forms; they are lined, and kept in shape by featherbone stays which are easy, flexible and almost unbreak able a t each seam and along the front edges; the closing is ac- FIO. FKONT OF HOUSE-complished b y ten small but tons on each side and a silk lacing cord. By tightening or loosening the fronts, by means of the cords, the dress may be made to vary several inches in size, and yet be always neat and in order; and it takes but a moment or two to make the change. A full puff, cut so as to rise high above the shoulders, covers each coat sleeve from the top to the elbow. In the model (Fig. 2) the corslet matches the dress proper, which is of tan sateen with scattered moon spots of castor-brown, while the guimpe and lower sleeve portions are of plain tan finished with collar and cuffs of castor brown velvet laced with cords and but tons; a narrow cord of the velvet out lines both edges of the corslet. A vel vet corslet and a silk guimpe would be handsome should this design be de veloped in India silk or nice, soft wool goods. American Agriculturist. A CONVENIENT GIFT. Envelope for Carrying Money and Impor tant Documents. When a dear friend is contemplating a trip abroad, a useful gift for her is a chamois envelope for carrying the let ter of credit so necessary on a forei journey. The envelope, when finishec is six inches long by four inches wide. An exact fit for that important docu ment the banker will provide. For a pattern, take an envelope, and enlarge to the specified size. Line with pink or blue s i Lk and bind with nar row white rib bon, stitched on the machi ne. The envelope for the sake of se curity should close with but tons and button holes. Before the button holes are cut. three pieces of white ribbon, an - inch and a-half long, the ends pointed, are stitched upon the flap, and when worked through both ribbon and chamois, they will be strong and durable. . A long loop of narrow white ribbon is fastened to the upper corners, by which the en velope is suspended around the neck of the wearer, under the clothing. . For the sake of convenience, make the loop long enough to slip over the head. It can be adjusted to suit the wearer; being soft and pliable, it can be worn under the corset if desired. Not only is this a useful gift for the traveler going beyond the seas, but is as acceptable as well to those who travel in their "ain countrie." Ladies' Home JournaL Pretty Canl Case. The newest card cases devised for formal visiting are really works of art. Only the finest and softest kids and leathers are used cream, amber and snow white. Thosjs in suede are almost completely covered by silver wrought in delicate lacy patterns, with either a tiny miniature set in moonstones in the corner, a heavy monoeram. or else a pink-tinted conch shell surrounded by small brilliants. Twin hearts of moon stones and turquoises are seen on many of the handsomest specimens, while others are embossed with the inevitable silver fleur-de-lis. This fin de siecle ef fect is heightened by having a nar row silver ribbon wound about to tie the triple figure and descend in graceful convolutions and loops to catch the next flower below. 1. : When you take (Quality ami-Make in Consideration yon Can not Huy Cheaper anj IMae in the World than of The Only One Price Clothier in Cass Go.
