From Their Itadn Correipondmt. Five Philadelphia saloonkeepers have been startled recently through tho receipt of letters from Hades. The signature to each letter Is the same, it is that of a young man who died, some few months ago, of alcoholism. The handwriting is also the same, a hand slanting to tho left, and consid erably disguised, though the saloon keepers think they recognize it as the handwriting of a certain church dea con. Here is a sample which the Rec ord gives of the silly letters that have worried not a iittlo the live saloon keepers: ‘‘Hell. Oct. 1, 1901. ‘‘Dear Henry:—It is hot down here, and I have not yet got accustomed to the heat. This is absetos paper 1 am writing on. Henry, I am waiting im patiently for you to join me. You will some day; there is no fear of that. The boss, Mr. Beelzebub, says so. Mr. Beelzebub is very fond of you. He tells me you and tile other men in your business send him more people than any other men in the world. I know you sent me here, Henry.” England now has seven admirals of the fleet and nine field marshals.

Not infrequently a young woman finds it necessary to launder a shirt waist at home for some emergency when the laundryman or the home ser vant cannot do It. Hence these direc tions for ironing the waist: To iron summer shirt waists so that they will look like new it is needful to have them starched evenly with Defiance starch, then made perfectly smooth and rolled tight in a damp doth, to be laid away two or three hours. When Ironing have a bowl of water and a clean piece of muslin beside the iron ing board. Have your iron hot, but not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso lutely clean. Begin by ironing the back, then the front, sides and the sleeves, followed by the neckband and the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap ply the damp cloth and remove them. Always iron from the top of the waist to the bottom. If there are plaits in the front iron them downward, after first raising each one with a blunt knife, and with the edge of the iron follow every line of stitching to give it distinctness. After the shirt waist ia ironed it should be well aired by the fire or in the sun before it is folded and put away, Eays the Philadelphia Inquirer. Sometimes it is hard to tell a long faced crank from a long-headed sage. Libhy^ Plum Pudding Is now " In I order. 1 With the frost comes theeppetite for hearti er table dainties.

ImnieiiRo Steel Dry Dork for Use at Algiers, I.a.ItM luo In to I.lft (ireat \ «••**€*!* Out of the Water. Baltimore correspondence, Chicago Journal: Down at Sparrows Point, completed all but a few finishing touche.-., lies the great steel floating dry dock built by the Maryland Steel company for the United States govern ment, and which is to be towed to Al giers. La., as soon as the West India hurricane season has passed. That will be about Oct. 1, and several pow erful ocean-going tugs will convey the immense dock to its destination. It is certain that this immense piece ol marine mechanism for lifting great vessels out of the water in order to clean or repair them is without a su perior in its line, and it is doubtful whether it has an equal, it can raise a 15,000-ton battleship and have the floor of the deck two feet above the wa ter, which is demanded by the govern ment for its work, but with the floor even with the water line it can lift an 18,000-ton ship. The dock is 525 feet in length over all, while its breadth is exactly 12G feet 2 7-ltl inches. The width between the sides is 100 feet. The entire height of the sides, from their bottoms, which are submerged, to the tops, is fifty-five feet. The depth of the pontoons, or what the inexperi enced might cal! the hulls of the docks, is seventeen feet six inches. The greatest draught of the dock is forty nine feet six inches. There ure three pontoons, which form its floor and also with the sides, give it buoyancy. The middle pontoon is the largest, being 242 feet long, and the end pontoons are each 141 feet % inch in length. The walls are 395 feet •"*« inch long and are nine feet in width at the top and thir-' teen feet at the bottom. The pontoons and sides are divided into forty water tight compartments, which enable the dock to be completely under the con trol of the dock master, who can make it assume any position required to dock a vessel. It has 261 keel blocks, upon which the vessel rests in the dock, and they are movable, so that they can be readily adjusted. The weight of the steel in the dock is 5,865 tons, and the weight of the dock equip ment is 1,000 tons, making a totai weight of 6,865 tons. The cost of the dock complete is $810,000. The stabil ity of the structure, according to the engineer's figures, is something re markable. Carrying a 15,000-ion battlu ship two feet above the water, it will cause her stability to lie fifteen or twenty times as great as that of a ship in the water. The numerous compart ments add to the steadiness of the dock, for, if they were few in number, the water in them when the dock was submerged or partly so. would splash about and cause considerable motion to the structure. When it Is necessary to dock a vessel water is admitted to the compartments through sixteen valves, each sixteen inches in diam eter, aud it requires about an hour to sink the dock so tiiat craft can enter it. After the dock is sufficiently deep in the water the vessel enters, and, having been accurately adjusted the water is pumped out of the compart ments by means of eight pumps, which are driven by four engines that have four boilers of the water-tube type and of 135 horse-power each to supply ihem with steam. The pumping ap paratus is so arranged that either en gine can steam from either boiler, and in case there is a breakdown on one side of the dock the pair of pumps on ihe other side could do all the puinp 'hg. It. takes about three hours and a half to raise the docs. The pumps also operate a line of hose, which is employed to wash the slime from the hul's of vessels that are docked. This is quite a task, for ihe amount of foul in‘g which is washed from the sides of a large ship is considerable, and after it has been cleaned the stuff iias also to lie washed from the floor of the dock, otherwise the men could not work about the craft. I tiff: Order** for Wild Animal*. Car] Hagenbeck, the well known animal dealer, was a passenger on the Hamburg American steamship Penn sylvania, which sailed from Hoboken recently. Herr Hagenbeck said that in the course of his two weeks' stay In this country he had received larger orders for animals than he could fl’I. “There is a scarcity," he said, “of such anlma's as camels, ei'-afTes, sable an telopes, big horns, baolroussa and ar galis in the market and their price has almost doubled in the pa.-t year. 1 have only a few of them in my me nagerie at Berlin and I would not sell them at any price.
