We're You Going to Build a Yacbt2

1t costs much more in proportion to
build a yacht than it does vessel of any
other description Not only are the very
best of oak and other materials required,
but the builders expect better pay for
the services of themselves and their work
men than do the builders of ordinary
vessels. There are yacht builders at
Nyack, Greenpoint, Staten Island, Bay
Ridge, City Island, Pamrapo, and var
ious points along the coast and up the
Hudson. These men will not undertake
to build boat unless they can see their
way clearly to the making of a hand
some profit. 1t would be difficult to
have a seventy-foot yacht built in good
style for much less than $10 600, while
first-class schooner yachts costs all the
way from $4,000 to $40, 900. There
are a number of schooners of less than
100 tons burden belonging to the New
York Yacht Club which cost at least
$4,000. In fitting up these crafts any
amount of money may be spent. In
furnishing the cabin of one of these boats
wealthy gentleman recently paid 500 a
piece for the curtains of the berths Steam
yachts are more expensive than sailing
ones. 1t would be difficult to have one
of the former built for much less that
$50, 900. For about $50, 900 handsome
steam yacht of something over 100 tons,
according to the new government meas
urement, can be built. One was launched
about year ago, the hull of which, in
efuded the engine and boilers, cost 800,
600, and by the time her cabins We're
fitted up and her spars and rigging put
in shape. she had cost the owner $780,
600. She was of about $50 tons burden,
according to the new measurement.
Some of the larger steam yachts which
are now building will cost a fortune
apiece. These vessels are in reality steam
ships, and it is almost as expensive to
build one of them as it is a mail steamer
registering as many thousands of tons
as the former does hundreds.

THE LUMBER POOL.

The Southwestern Railway Association
continued its session yesterday in Chica-
go. The first thing to be considered was
the lumber pool, the business accounts
from Aug l to Dec. 81, 1882, haYing.been
left unsettled An attempt was made to ar
range the settlements of overdue accounts
between the various roads, but the at
tempt was not successful and the whole
matter was referred to Arbitrator Bogue
The next question, that of percentage to
be allowed each road, was referred to
Bogue.
1t was then decided to reduce lumber
rates April from Chicago TO the South
western Missouri river points,. so rs TO
make the rates 10 cents per 100 pounds, a
reduction of 81 cents. 1t was agreed TO
have the existing differentials remain in
force,
The executive committee then met and
transacted routine business, pursuant to

The Mind of the Good Whist Player.

A chess player. or solver of chess
problems, has Away to deal with pieces
of a constant value; thus, the knight,
bishop, pawn, etc, are of constant val
ues, so that his combinations are not SO
very varied A whist player, however,
has in hand not only cards which vary
in value according to what is trump,
but during the play of the hand the
cards themselves vary in value; thus, a
ten may, after one round of suit, be-
come the best card in that suit. Brain
power, Independent of stored knowl-
edge, is, therefore, more called into
action by a game of whist than it is by
mathematics, chess or classics conSe-
quently, while the mathematicians and
classical scholars may be found in null
titudes, a first-class whist player is a
rarity; if we required an accurate test OF
brain-power, we should be far more
likely to obtain correct results by an
examination in whist than we should by
an examination in mathematics. In the
latter, examining might supply the place
of intelligence; in the former, no
amount of examining could guard
against one-tenth of the conditions A
first-rate mathematician may on other
subjects be stupid; first-class whist
player is rarely if ever stupid on origi-
nal matters requiring Judgment

ALDERMAN a.KETcH.

At the city election at Racine last
Tuesday. among other successful candi
dates was Conductor B. Kitchingman, of
the Chicago, Milwaukee 81 ST. Paul road.
who was elected alderman from the Fifth
ward on the democratic ticket by nearly
hundred majority. "Ketch's" popular
ity was attested from the fact that the
ward is strongly republican. Although
he has quick and active brain 'Ketch"
is not built foran alderman, as his ayoir-
dupois is somewhat below the average, but
it is presumed that with little practice
he will also come up to the requirements
in this direction. If he could ''swap"
bodies with Thos Fuller he would fill the
aldermanic seat with much more dignity
and effect. Alderman 'Ketch" will be at
the Harper House over Sunday, where he
will be pleased to receive his friends in
this city.

A Royal Irritation.

The Prince of Wales son George
struck up a violent MILDLY" Irritation
at an Austrian ball with lovely little
girl of fifteen Cooking older as girls do
there). 1t was artlessly open and frank,
but the authorities took him in hand,
bringing him back to the lais to be por-
toned out properly. The boy was not
to be bafTied- lie slipped into the crowd
and secured his ''girl' again. Recap
tnred, he was brought back TO the plat
form and confronted by m indignant
lady, the much respected daughter of
the Governor of the colony.who assured
him with emphasis: ''If You do that
again viii box your royal ears. The
boy seeing that she evidently meant
what she said, did not do it again.

Last week Messrs. G. c. Knell and vii
liam Fl. Lundy, of this city, purchased
the entire stock of furniture, etc. in
Davenport of dealer named King, who
will be remembered as having had a
branch store in the Turner block, this
city. which was burned out few weeks
ago under decidedly suspicious eircum
stances. In purchasing the stock the
gentlemen named acted in good faith
Dlanking down the cash therefor. 1t
seems, however, that the report that King
had been selling goods at and below cost
prior to the sale to the Rock Islanders,
created a suspicion which reached the ears
of certain outside wholesalers who had
sold somewhat largely to King en- long
time, and some of these gentlemen,
through attorneys in Davenport, attached
the stock bought by Messrs. Knell and
Lundy. The latter gentlemen immedi-
ately replevined the goods and claim
also. the sum OF 81 900 damages
It is reported that King has absconded
with his wife's sister, leaving Mrs. King
in decidedly destitute circumstances.
His present location is mystery to great
many interested parties.

Yesterday well known Rock Island
physician was approached with request
to go 10 point $50 miles southwest of
Denver, in the mining regions, to treat q
lady, The request was coupled with an
offer to pay all of his travelling expenses
and for his time, also, in full. If the
doctor were younger man he might en-
terrain the proposition but as it is, with
his large practice at home, he would be
out of pocket materially were he to
make the trip

Selecting Wall Paper

The time is at hand to select wall
paper for such rooms as are to be inn
proved this spring. The selections should
not be left to husbands, who have no
taste in such matters, but the wife should
take two of her friends and make tour
of the city. There must be nothing
rash or hasty about it. The object is to
beautify and secure harmony
There should always be at least three
ladies in the party who are selecting,
and what pleases one should not please
another This will oblige the dealer to
display every sample, and make him
feel good Begin with paper at 50 per
roll and run down the scale to paper at
seven cents per roll If you start in the
other way the dealer will take YOU for
the wife of millionaire The follow
ing replies should be used as the respeo-
tive samples are displayed:
1-..Too dark. !"
2-ssToo light
3-''No harmony of celors.
doesn't seem to blend.
5-''Blends too much
6-"Won't match the carpet
7-t.No sentiment in that"
8-''Too small pattern
Never buy a roll of wallpaper on
your first visit to the store. Paper deal
ers are subject to heart disease, and
sudden shock might prove fatal. After
you have examined and criticised and
figured and estimated and attempted to
beat him down tell him Won will call
Bgain.
Then go to the next and repeat the
programme After he has shown you
seyenty-five or eighty samples he may
begin to flag, but you must insist upon
seeing all, and be'sure to inquire if he
can't reduce the price of fifty cent rolls
to fifteen cents and do the hanging for
nothing.
A lady of experience and persistency
can begin selecting wallpaper about
the 18th of March and keep it up for six
or eight weeks before being compelled
to acknowledge that she wants only three
cheap rolls for dark bedroom and
will try to hang it herself. Paper stores
are clean pleasant places, the clerks civil
and patient, and the lady who rashly
and hastily falls in love with the 987th
pattern shown her will be set down as
person without wealth or taste.

A few DAYS ago mention was made In

When Armies Fought Hand to Hand.

In the days of hand-to-hand fighting,
when missile weapons were employed
by comparatively small portion of the
eopbatants, the vanquished were gen.
orally almost annihilatcd. and the vic
tors suffered enormously. At Cann@
40 900 Romans out OF 80, 600 were killed.
At Hastings the Normans, though the
yictors, lost 10000 out OF 90, 600, and at
Crecy sc. 1000 Frenchmen out of 100 600
were, it is asserted, killed. without
reckoning the wounded. When the
proportion of the Killed and wounded In
ten battles. beginning with Zorndorf in
1858 and ending with Waterloo. was
from one-fourth to one-fifth of the
troops present on both sides. The
heaviest loss Fgas at Zorndorf, where
80, 916 men out of $4,000 were killed or
wounded 1t was also very heavy at
Eylau, being $4,000 casualties out of
100, 600 men. In the campaign in italy
in 1859 rifles were used on both sides.
and we find that the proportion of casu-
alties TO eombatants was at Magenta
and Solferino one-eleventh. In the
Franco-Prussian war of 1901. when
both sides were armed with breech-load-
iny rifles, the average proportion of
killed and wounded at Worth, Spich
