Compartments Do Not Save the Ship.

The sinking Of the steamship City of
Brussels within twenty minutes from
the time when the collision occurred
marine construction This ship was
furnished with several iron bulk heads
completely dividing the vessel into
water-tight compartments. The theory
of the company advertisements is that
any one or even two of these compart-
ments might be filed with water with
out sinking the ship. Investigation
brings to light the fact that this is far
from the truth Aside from the Incl
dents of open doors through the bulk
heads, and insufficient strength TO stand
the enormous thrust of large body of
water, both of which elements may be
counted upon in ordinary cases, there
are practical questions involved which
make it really necessary that the mid
ships compartment should be much
larger than the others--large enough,
that is. 10 accommodate the engines
and the boilers. There is no great diff
ficulty in making the bulkheads near
the ends of the ship strong enough to
do the work intended. Hence these
projections are ample in case of bow
collisions, and there are a number of
examples of vessels coming safely to
port after collision which would have
sunk ship not thus provided. But in
case of collision amidships, as this
was, the compartment feature is of no
value at all And for this there does
not seem to be feasible remedy

The eldest son OF Kate Chase
Sprague drove milk cart from Canon
Chef, last summer to the principal
hotels in town, and sold them milk.
This" says an exchange, els the
lad at whose birth the head of the
house of Sprague gave his mother
half million dollars. Who would
have predicted that seventeen years
afterward he would be engaged in
driving milk cart for living! AT
that time his mother was the envy OF
her sex-the most aristocratic woman
on the continent. Now she is the
subject of scandal; broken in fortune
and in health. So goes the world
The wheel turns and turns. The man
who is up to-day is down tomorrow.
Our American aristocracy is short
lived. It starts from q wax-end to-
day, fourishes in silks and satins to-
morrow, and ends in ditch the day
AFTER"
American aristocracy, so-called by
shoddyites, is deservedly short lived.
Nine-tenths Of it is low-bred, brazen-
faced and vulgar, and is only "elevat-
ed" from the cess-pools of society by
the dollars and cents it CONTROLS. 1t
originates in the gutter, and ends
there. It cannot rise above its level,
and never commands the respect and
admiration of men and women of
true greatness and worth. There is
but one class of persons lower and
more contemplate than these self
styled "aristocrats" is the dirty
funkeys and satellites who fawn upon
them for the Shiny crumbs that fall
from their tables.
True Aristocracy-the Aristocracy
of the Soul, the Heart and the Mind
viii always command the admiration
and respect of the truly good and
great. The nobility of the soul, the
purity of the heart, and the brilliancy
of the brain, are the elements of true
greatness-they are solid, enduring
and respectable, and will live until
the end of time.

When people talk about the obliga-
tons of railroads to serve the public
they should remember the immense
grants of lands that have been made
to these corporations. The amount is
no less than 296, 600, 900 acres. This
is an area greater than that of the
thirteen original States; an area nearly
one-third larger than Texas; almost
as large as the combined territory of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska; nearly three
times as large as Great Britain and
Ireland; more than five times as great
as France; four times greater than
Germany; equal to one-sixth of the
entire territory of the United States.
Do not these railroad corporations
owe to the people, who have created
them, fair and honest treatment,
cheap and economical service, without
extortion and discrimination in ratesp
They do not always give it.-Er.

Zaandam Windmills.

Zaandam is rather an important
place. Many ships and boats are built
there, many windmills thresh the air
with their white arms, and grind every
sortsof thing that can be ground, and
when they don't do that they saw wood
and pump water. Its inhabitants are
fearfully rich; at every jaunty villa we
came to our guide stopped us toimpress
on us some notion of its owner 8
wealth. ".4H these rich peope are wind
millers;" he could speak tolerable En-
glish, so we were spared the wild panto-
mime which, when expressive of four
hundred windmills, takes some consid-
cradle room in village street. We
were ferried over the watery avenue
which seems to be really the main thor
oughfare of the town. There were the
mills, sure enough, miles ofthem-some
four, think-on each side of the way,
as far into the dim distance as the eye
could reach. It looked like lesson in
perspective to try for the exact vanish
ing point
II any one desires to see Holland from
its windmilly side, let that person by all
means come to Zaandam, aud be sur

tore thriving and tlourishing, too; and
when windmilly town does flourish, it

Here IS an excellent recipe for the
foundation of all kinds of fruit fritters.
Make batter of half q pint of sweet
milk, ten ounces of flour, and two
ounces of butter; sweeten and flavor to
suit your taste. The whites of two eggs
well beaten are to be stirred in last, OF
to make variety, you can sometimes use
both the yelks aud whites. Stir the
chopped fruit in this batter, and fry in
hot lard, dropping it by spoonfuls; OF
you can dip the fruit in batter and fry.

ingredients; after that it will not be
necessary If You are, like most cooks,
"good at guessing."-M Y Post.
