An enterprising merchant in a city not
more than thousand miles from New
York displayed a sign yesterday on which
was displayed the legend; 'Send me

There seems to be general opinion
among naval engineers that no iron pas
sengPr steamship can be said to be con-
structed npon the best design to insure
safety in case Of collision or running up
on rock unless she is provided with a
double bottom. But the space which is
thus taken up is, under existing laws,
measured as tonnage carrying area, and
there is practically a premium for the
neglect Of an essential means of security.
Few ship.owners like to be taxed for

It is said that the st. Gothard Tunnel
is diverting the bulk Of the Italian trade
into the hands Of the Belgians, Germans
and Hollanders with startling rapidity.
Without breaking bulk early fruits are
taken from all parts of Italy to Ostend,
Antwerp and Rotterdam, whence they
are carried by fast steamers to London
and other English ports. But, on the
other hand, Germany is sending into
Italy large quantities Of coal, iron, ma
chinery, copper and other articles of
which the latter received nothing before.
In two months alone the Italians import
ed ,446 tons of paper.

finished in the most artistic and modern
style Both sides are almsot solid plate
glass. At one end is the kitchen, with
range and all kinds Of cooking utensils.
This department is presided over by fa-

daintiest of dishes for the distinguished
singer. At the other end are roomY
sleeping berths, with the softest of mat
resses and the cleanest and whitest of
bed-linen. The center of the car is
the drawingroom or parlor, so to speak,
of Nine Nilsson. 1t is carpeted with a
handsome velvet carpet, so soft that one
one almost imagines be is walking upon
feathers. In it are an abundance of easy
chairs, some velvet and some plush; So
fas. ottomans and rockers. In the center
and on one side stands magnificent
Steinway piano, and over it hangs tiny
cage, in which as the madam said, is a
japanese canary bird. 1t is a toy bird
that sings when wound up.-Cincinnati
