A Queer Craft For the Gear.
fT orIo,, Tolarrop1,

His Majesty, the Gear, has ordered the
construction at Glasgow of one of the
most curious vessels ever built. 1t is a
pleasure yacht Of some 7 900 tons burden,
to be made of steel, and to be driven by
three bronze screws. The lower portion
of this experimental craft will be shaped
like huge fiat dish, being almost as
broad as it is long, with sharp sides and
pointed head and tail. The Imperial
yacht will be exactly like a brill, in
fact, as regards contour and dimensions.
On the back of this vast pleuro-nectid
will be reared floating palace of halls,
saloons, boudoirs and cabins, rising story
above story, 50 that though the strange
vessel will nowhere draw more than if
teen feet of water-and this only when
the screws are submerged-she will tower
out of sea high above the loftiest waves,
which are expected to dash and break in
vain against her enormous area and fat
tened bilges The extraordinary model
now being put together by Messrs. Elder
q Co., is principally designed to abol-
ish that very uncomfortable
movement at sea which troubles Cars as
we'll as meaner persons, and we doubt not
that very special degree of stability
will really be obtained. The cir
cular Popoffkas-though failures as men
of'war-have always proved remarkably
steady in sea way; and this prodigious
flat fish of steel ought to ride almost as
pacidly as floating island, were it not
for that "scend" of the ocean which NO
vessel, however big, has ever yet con-
quered. The Cars yacht will carry only
a few light cannon, but if the design sue
ceeds it is intended to build fighting craft
upon the same lines, to receive heavy
marine artillery.

POISONED FOUNTAINS.

The danger to youthful morals of fill
ing the minds of the young with tales of
blood-curdling horror, and impossible re-
citals of mock-heroism on the part of
robbers and desperadoes, is really too
grave matter for parents to disregard.
Not long since young son of well-to-do
and affectionate parents in New York
City were caused indescribable anguish by
the sudden disappearance of the lad. After
seeking in vain in every possible place
where tidings of him could be had with
out success and at last believing the
child probably the victim of some un-
known disaster, clue was obtained to his
whereabouts through the police and the
facts were finally developed that he had
been caught picking a pocket, arrested
for the act, tried and proven guilty and
sentenced for several months to house
of correction, the companion of thieves,
vagabonds and youthful despera-
does Of all kinds. 1t seems the
young man got tired of school, ran away
in company with some ragamuffins of the
street for days fun, spent the time in
reading some blood and thunder litera-
ture got up as would seem expressly for
corrupting the morals of the young, and
was finally initiated into secret order
of youthful desperadoes by variety of
grips and passwords calculated to capti-
vate the Imagination of boy, and sep
by step this child was led on to acts Of
absolute crime, which were, however,
dressed up so as to make bigh-spirited
lad feel that he was doing something
manly in not denouncing as his
better instincts would impel him to do.
This poor boy is now felon, and may,
by the vile associates with whom he Is
compelled for some time to consort, be.

~B~-o-
AFTER DR.. Johnson had dined upon
four pounds of rare roast beef, topped of
with pound and half of plum pud-
ding, and drank seventeen cups of tea at
the hands of his dear Mrs. Moore, it was
natural that the sickness which followed
should have impressed this philosopher
as one of "the mysterious dispensations
of Providence" We trust that none of
Pour readers have been similarly puzzled
by any of the 'dispensations' that fol-
lowed the good cheer of the late Thanks
giving feasts. If so, however, they have
time to remember that Christmas is only
some three weeks ahead, and they
may by suitable confluence then
atone, as it were, for any unseemly
indulgences in the past. There
is one thing, however, that the American
citizen is apt to forget, namely, that feast
ing is not necessarily gluttony nor the
cause of indigestion and sickness Good
cheer, even abundance of the toothsome
delicacies that titillate the palate when
seasoned byan appetite, superinduced by
moderately active habits, pleasant So
ciety and a cheerful temper, are both
wholesome to the body and salutary to
the mind. If men of business would
look upon the matter of eating as of
higher consequence and afford themselves
the time to masticate their food properly
and lay away their business cares long
enough for the stomach to perform its
duties of assimilation afterwards, we
should see both more gray-headed a1en
and more rosy cheeks among those
of middle age. A good dinner is or
ought to be within the reach of every
body and every body ought to feel it
rather a thing to be proud of than other
wise that his mind and digestion are suf-
ficiently healthy to enable him to look to
one with pleasure. To keep so, eat
leisurely, if possible; do so in company
with cheerful companions, and remem-
ber that an extra quarter or half an hour
given to a substantial meal of whole
some food adds that much to the length
of your life provided you die of old age
and not by accident.
