, A CATAMARAN HOUSE-BOAT.
Xt Will Afford Mucli Pleasure to the
Avcrnjje louth.
Boys love the water , and if such a
thing Is possible , Ihcy will spend many
of their happiest hours upon its shores
or riding upon its surface.
What boy has not built himself a
raft ?
i Here Is something that should afford
much pleasure to the average youth ,
Whether or not he is able to possess a
.boat. It Is culled the catamaran house-
Jboat , and is intended to serve a mani
fold purpose , it being adaptable alike
&B a craft almost VLB rapid as a rowboat -
boat , a raft , a floating camp , summer
jfishing house and many other things
that will at once present themselves teat
at bright-minded boy.
; Among its many advantages are the
rfacts that it is perfectly safe from over
turning , that it will not crush in when
struck ever so violently by anything
found upon the water , that it may be
.propelled much more easily than a raft ;
Indeed , with almost as little effort as
a boat , and that it is an ideal attraction
for boys , whether used stationary , pro
pelled about lakes , ponds and rivers ,
used as an aquatic playhouse , a sum
mer camp , a rainy day lishing house or
any other pleasant use to which it may
be put. Another of its advantages is
that its cost need not be great , although
It may be made very expensive. Hav
ing possessed the proud privilege once
of being a boy himself , the writer is
aware that the average boy is never
overstocked with money , hence the
question of cost is a momentous one.
To build one of these houseboats it
Is first necessary to secure two logs.
Logs being round should be used in
preference to square beams , although
the latter will answer. They should be
fifteen or more feet in length and quite
sound , otherwise they will watersoak.
First rouuu1 and point each end , as in

A CATAMARAN HOUSE-BOAT.
Fig. 1 , tbeu with a saw , hammer and
chisel , which are about all the tools
needed , cut out resting places- for the
cross pieces , as indicated at A in Fig. 1.
. When this is done , make your cross
pieces , which will be five in number ,
four feet in length. The cross pieces
and frame pieces should be two by two
or two by four-men lumber. If possi
ble , make the cross pieces of two by
four aud the framework of two by two.
As the roof and floor of your craft is
to be more than four feet in width ,
much care should be exercised in put
ting up the framework. The general
Idea of this may be secured from Fig.
2. The pieces marked with the letter
A are the cross pieces already referred
to , and should be four feet in length ,
the pieces marked "D" should be six
leet in length. Those marked "C"
ihould be eight feet , while those pieces
marked * 'B" should be six feet. The
length of the side roof pieces cannot be
designated , as they depend upon the
length of the logs , but if the logs were
fifteen feet long the side pieces of the
toof should be about seven feet. As
timbers "B" are two feet longer than
timbers "A , " it will be seen that tim
bers "C" and "D" will not join timbers
"B" at the ends , but will be a foot from
them upon each side. Board over the
togs , as in Fig. 3. Let the flooring
boards protrude a foot on each side
over the logs , and your floor will then
be , like your roof , six feet wide. After
you have put in the floor , which great
ly strengthens your craft , you should ,
If you have not already done so , float
four catamaran , as it will soon be far
too heavy to move.
For the roof you may use boards run
ning lengthwise. If you cannot secure
luch long boards , fasten them on cross
wise , and cover the whole with tarred
or builders' paper , secured with laths.
Of course , it may be shingled , or good
canvas may be used for a covering.
Cover in one-half of your frame
work , as in Fig. 3. The middle end of
rour little cabin may be left open , with
heavy draperies or curtains , or it may
be boarded up and a door put in , as in
the rear end in Fig. 3. The builder
may put in windows in the sides if he
flesires. Make a rudder for the stern.
Nearly in the center of this now nearly
completed , catamaran houseboat place
blocks for your oarlocks. Have them
about two feet above the floor. Being
BO wide apart , two may row to advan
tage. Make a rack upon each side of
your little house for your oars and se
cure a long pole , which you may keep
Upon the roof or upon the floor , as one
ofetn prefers to "pole" his craft. A
short staff for a pennant or flag may
1 > e added. Upon the pennant initials era
a name may be inscribed , as the cata
maran in the pictures carries the in
itials "A. B. " A little trapdoor in the
center of the floor will be found con
venient for hand line fishing , to shield
one from the sun in the day , or to keep
off the dampness at night if pout fish-

tog.The
The boy who owns one of these erafts
may add to its furnishings as he is able
from time to time. A little stove , some
folding bunks , a folding table , cup
boards and shelves will no doubt be
thought of. The open covered space
will also be thought large enough for
a hammock , and small seats may be
built wherever convenient.
I If good-sized logs are used the craft
should support four boys conveniently ,
and with the resources generally avail
able to the average boy , nearly all the
, lumber may be procured without cost.
If you cannot at first afford oars , a pole
may be used , and good substitutes for
oars may be made from boards. The
labor of building is really very small ,
compared with the good results , and It
will be found cheaper and better for
pure enjoyment than any of the boats
of which plans have so often been pub
lished. Montreal Star.
WOMAN'S BEST AGE.
Opinion Seems to Be that It la Be
tween SO and 4O.
There's no mistake about It. To be
young , to be in the first flush of youth ,
is no longer fashionable.
The fashionable age now for a wo
man is between 30 and 40. Have not
their majesties , the King and Queen
of England , given notice that the
young person Is not to monopolize so
cial attention ?
The doctrine of middle age is being
preached in London , and from the in
nermost centers of Mayfair exclusiveness -
ness to the outer circles of bohemian-
ism the women who are the most pop
ular are those who have lived.
It is hard to get at the reason for
this inversion of fancy. Somebody
says it is because the girls of the
present day are older and more world-
born than the women who have pass
ed the first stage of real youth. What
ever the real reason , the chief
interest seems to center about women
who have left the white muslin stage
and crept out to the once dreaded
verge of maturity.
The women of whom most is heard
have certainly no longer any right
to be considered young. They are
frankly middle-aged , and they seem to
glory in it.
So people seem to have discovered
that the period succeeding youth is
more desirable than adolescence. The
strange thing is that it has not been
discovered before , with all the exam
ples that exist in history. The women
of France and England who were
noted for their power and attractions
reached the zenith of their glory aftei
youth had flown.
Those who have lived and seen the
world must always have a greatei ,
poAver for swaying humanity than.
those who are equipped only with the I
charm of youth. No one is disposed | '
to underestimate this charm , for II (
comes to all once ; and partakes not
(
only of the sweetness of the flower ,
but also of the evanescence.
Some one has said that "every face
ought to be beautiful at 40 , " and an-
'other that "no old" p'erson has a right
to be ugly , because she has had all
her life in which to grow beautiful. "
The transfiguration of a pleasant
smile , kindly lightings of the eyes ,
restful lines of self-control about the' !
lips , serenity of the face these things
no fitfml year or two of goodness' ' 1
'
gives. Only habitual graciousuess
wTithin will give them all.
It is interesting to remember in con
nection with this that many of the' ' '
1
women who have been famous for
'
their beauty and fascination for men
achieved their -greatest triumphs be-
tweun the ages of 30 and 40.
Josephine was 33 when she married
Napoleon , and , judging from the let
ters written by the absent husband
during the early years of their union ,
she inspired him with intense love
and jealousy. It has been said that
she was the only woman Napoleon
ever really loved.
Mme. Recamier was most beautiful
between the ages of 35 and 55 , and
Mile. Mars at 45 was at the zenith of
her triumphs. _ Diane de Poitiers wag

IL The King was half her age , but
his devotion never changed.
Bianca Capello was 33 when the
Grand Duke Francis of Florence fell
captive , to her charms and made her
his wife , though he was five years
her junior. Mme. de Maintenon was
43 when united to Louis , and Cath
erine II. of Russia was 33 when she
seized the Empire of Russia and cap
tivated the dashing young General
Orloff. Up to the time of her death ,
at 07 , she seems to have retained her
powers of bewiichery.
Cleopatra was nearly 40 when Mark
Anthony fell beneath her spell , and
the most famous beauty the world has
ever known , Helen of Troy , was long
past 30 when she perpetrated the most
notable elopement on record and set
the Trojan warriors to fighting for her
sake.
Ethics of a Kiss.
A kiss is a peculiar proposition. Ot
no use to one , yet absolute bliss to two.
The small boy gets it for nothing , the
young man has to steal it and the old
man has to buy it. The baby's right ,
the lover's privilege , the hypocrite's
mask. To a young girl , faith ; to a
married woman , hope , and to an old
maid , charity. Baltimore American.
Her Ambition.
"I will go to the ends of the earth
with you , " said the romantic young
man.
"Oh , I am no explorer , " retorted the
beautiful young girl. "I'd rather you'd
go as far as a little suburban cottage
with me. "

pled with very heavy curves. Where
to find an engine which would operate
economically under such conditions
would be puzzling alone. To all this ,
was added , however , the fact that the
water along this part of the line is
strongly alkali , and the engine must
carry a tank large " enough to supply
itself for the round trip of 102 miles.
This locomotive was tried. It weighs
280,000 pounds. It is now hauling

KIPLING ON THE ALLIANCE.
Refers to Germany as "An Open Foe1'
and Criticises Government.
Rudyard Kipling has written a ne\\
poem , called "The Rowers , " in which
he gives expression to the feeling
against the British alliance with Ger
many against Venezuela. The poem
was printed in the London Times ,
which from the first has been stronglj
opposed to the alliance. The poein ir
part follows :
Last night ye swore our voyage was
done ,
But seaward still we go ; ,
And ye toll us now of a secret vow
Ye have made with an open foe.
That we must He off a lightless coast ,
And haul and back and veer
A.t the will of the breed that have
wronged us most
For a year and a year and a year.
There was never a shame in christendit
They laid not to our door ;
And ye say we must take the winter sea ,
And sail with them once more.
The dead they mocked are scarcely cold ;
Our wounded are bleeding yet ;
And ys tell us now that our strength is
sold
To help them press for a debt.
'Neath all the flags of all mankind
That use upon the seas ,
Was there no other fleet to find
That ye strike hands with these ?
Of evil times that men could choose ,
On evil fate to fall ,
What brooding judgment let you loose
To pick the worst of all ?
[ n sight of pence , from the narrow seas ,
O'er half the world to run ,
With a cheated crew to league anew
With the Goth aud the Shameljs
Hun ?
CUTS CAR IN TWO-
Agonizing Trolley Accident At Newark , N. J.
Engine Hits It Spuarely.
Newark , K" . J. , TTeb. 20. A fast
express on the Lackawanna railroad
cut through a trolley car crowded
with school children at the Clifton
avenue crossing Thursday. Eight of
the children were killed and a score
or more of them injured. The motorman -
torman of the car , who stuck to his
post , will dieand the engineer of the
express was so badly hurt that theie
is little hope of his recovery.
Both the express and the trolley
were on the steep grades going at
right angles. The express was sig
nalled and the crossing gates were
lowered , while the trolley car was
half way down the hill. The motorman -
man shut off the power and applied
the brakes , but almost immediately
the car began to slip along the icy
rails.
It gained tremendous momentum
and at the bottom of the hill crashed
through the gates , directly in the
track of the oncoming train. The lo
comotive ploughed its way through
the trolley , throwing the children in
every direction.
The accident happened within three
blocks of the high school building ,
and in the car at the time were
nearly 100 pupils. As many as thirty
others had managed to throw them
selves from the-car before the crash
came. The trolley was one of the
specials which every day bring the
children to school. It had more than
its ordinary load Thursday , owing to
the cold. It contained every child
that could squeeze inside and others
stood on the rear platform. Because
this car had been so crowded many
who were waiting for it before the
hill was reached could not get ont
although some climbed on the front
platform with the motorman.
A score or more children were com
pelled to walk , as they followed the
car afoot. They say that when the
car was still less than half way down
the hill the railroad gates began to
drop.
Peter Bradythe motormanprompt
ly shut off the power and applied the
brakes. The speed of the car was
checked , but it continued to move
slowly down the incline. There was
no thought of danger. Then it began
to move faster and faster.
i The ice-covered rails offered no hold
for the wheels and although Brady
jammed his brake harder and then
swung in reverse , the momentum of
the car grew at every yard and the
car shot clown toward the railroad.
When it was right at the sates the
express came into view. Warned by
the cries of those afoot and by their
own sense of danger those on the
platforms began to throw themselves
off into the snow , and as the car sped
along the few remaining feet toward
the rails perhaps one-third escaped
death injury in this way , but there
, was no time for those within the car
, to do more than crush toward the
i roar door.
The gates were swept aside and
I before the cracking of the gates died
j out came the crash. For thirty seconds
ends before the air was filled with
1 frantic cries of those who saw death
dashing down upon them.
The wreck of the trolley car was
complete. The pilot of the engine
struck it almost in the center and
turned it partly around and then t'io
ponderous engine cut it in two. The
upper part of the trolley was reduced
to fragments under the drivers of the
locomotive. One-half of the car was
thrown to one side and lay on the
tracks. The other section was hurled
some distance away. In every direc
tion lay the injured and dead. The
engine was brought to a standstill
and from the train and from near by
houses men rushed to the rescue. The
spectacle was appalling and many who
started to work had to give up un
nerved.
Within five minutes as many dead
bodies had been laid side by side in
the snow alongside the track. One
of the bodiesthat of a girlwas found
a block beyond. It had been carried
there on the pilot of the engine.
Load after load of the injured were
sent away in patrol wagons and am
bulances. Within a short time there
was not an injured person near the
scene of the wreck and the dead
were on their way to the morgue.

Norfolk , Va. , Feb. 18. A cyclone
struck the passenger steamer Olive
which plies between Franklin , Va. ,
and Edenton , N. C. , at 9:30 : o'clock
Tuesday night and sent her to the

Seventeen people are known to have
oeen drowned and others who were
rescued are in a serious condition.
The whirlwind when it struck the
Olive caused her to go over on her
oeam's end , and when she righted it
was only to sink on account of the
ivater she had taken.
A majority of the passengers and

no opportunity to reach the pilot
house of the vessel. This point was
the only portion left above water ,
and in it , from the time of the acci
dent until G o'clock in the morning ,

A Strange Dis < ppearance.
Fairbury , oSTeb. , Feb. IS. The vil
lage of Steele City , in the southeast
corner : jf this county , is somewhat
jxciteci over the my-steriotis disap
pearance of S. II. Iloll'ert , a citizen " ) f
jome prominence , and a former mer-
; hant of that place. Some months
since Hoffert traded his stock of gen
eral merchandise for a farm in Ante-
.ope county , and had made one trip
there to look at the land. 'Upon his
return he expressed himself as well
pleased with the acquisition and sig
nified an intention of moving there
at some future time. About the first
Df the month he came to Fairbury in
company with another citizen of that
place on a business mission , expect
ing to return the same evening , but
has not been seen since. His com
panion says that when he separated
from him in Fairbury he was expect
ing to join him again at the train
upon his return. Hoffert wore a suit
of work clothes the day he disap
peared , and all his best wearing ap
parel was left behind , together with
his books containing about a hun
dred dollars worth of accounts. His
wife died several years ago , but he
had three chilrden , a girl seventeen
and two boys aged respectively twelve
anl fourteen , who are left almost
destitute. He was treasurer of the
local order of Modern Woodmen and
had about seventy dollars belonging
to that order in his custody. Abso
lutely nothing has been heard of him
since his disappearance , and while
many rumors are rife they are simply
conjectures.
Find Missing flail Pouch.
Indianapolis , Feb. 18. The missing
mail pouch containing money , checks ,
money and draft , amounting to $50-
000. that has caused the postofiice de
partment so much concern has been
found and is now safely housed in the
office of the superinendent of mails
here. The missing pouch arrived
here from Cincinnati.
How the pouch reached Cincinnati
is a question yet to be settled. The
mystery has been partly cleared , local
officials believe , by the appearance of
the pouch. It is not a leather pouch ,
such as is used in conveying valuable
mail. The government is suffering
from a shortage of leather pouches ,
and it recently converted a lot of
cloth baD'S into first class mail
poucher. The converted pouches are
caught at the neck with a leather
clasp.
The theory is that the pouch , in
this instance , lost its destination tag
and the mail clerks mistook the pouch
to be one containing other empty
pouches that were being sent back to
the Cincinnati office where empty
bags are stored. The pouch probably
went to th Cincinnati storage room
and lay tlrre unopened. It is be
lieved the contents are intact.
