Something About Ships.

Sailing vessels carry their square
sails or fore-and-aft sails. A square
sail is one the head of which is "bent"
or made fast to the jack-stay-- an iron
rod on yard. Fore-and-aft sails, in
stead of being bent to yards, are most
ly supplied with boom or gaff, or
both. The lower corners of square
sails are called clews. The foresail an
mainsail are often called the courses.
Sail is seldom carried on the cross-jack
pronounced krojik) yard, the lowest
yard on the mizzenmast.
The courses, when "set" are kept
down by means of ropes leading from
the clews fore and aft, called tacks and
sheets. Above the course come the
topsails; above the topsails, the top
gallant sails; andsnext above, the roy
ais. Some very large ships carry still
loftier sails. called sky-sails.
Most merchant ships carry double
topsails, one above the other, for great
er ease in handling; but on men-of-war
having large crews, single topsails are
the rule.
The head-sails are those which the
bowsprit and the booms it supports
carry forward. These are the foretop-
mast stay-sail, the jib, and flying-iib.
Large vessels carry even more head
sail The spanker, or driver, as our
merchantmen sometimes call it, is a
fore-and-aft sail, and is the aftersail Of
ship or bark.
A compass being divided into thirty
two points, sailors consider the horizon
at sea as having an equal number Of
divisions, and speak of ship as sailing
within five or six points of the direction
the wind is blowing from.
When the sails of a ship are filled
with wind. they are sail to be drawing
or full. A good sailor is never so hap
ply as when with a WHOLESALE breeze he
sees all his canvas spread and drawing.

shade called orange blossom is chosen
for the fronts of rich wedding dresses
while the basque and train are of un-
cut velvet.
The newest cashmere dresses are en-
tirely of one fabric, being made up
without silk in the lower skirt, and il
anything is added for trimming it is
little velvet on the basque and
sleeves.
A pretty dress for young girl is of
gray cashmere. crossed with crimson,
and has facing upon the kits and
tint of crimson serge. Above these
skirts is a Russian jacket of plaid,
with plated serge waistcoat. ending at
the waist and finished by a ribbon
belt of crimson satin, clasped with q
silver buckle.

A Lovely Gown OF valenclennes.

A Lovely Gown OF Valenctennes.
Madeline has lovely gown also of
lace. 1t is Valeaciennes-nOt real, of
course, but very good imitation.
The skirt is satin, in shade of orange
red. The Valenciennes is yard in
depth, and falls over the satin with
very little fulness in front, but with
quite an enormous quantity gathered
into the back. There is, should think,
nearly twice as much compressed into
about six inches ut the back as there
is round all the rest of the skirt. The
effect of the deep orange-red, as seen
through the mesheS of the cream
colored lace, is quite lovely. She has
two bodices for this dress. One is
made entirely of lace, with silk lining
like that of the skirt. The very short
basque is edged with Valenciennes,
about five inches wide, slightly fulled
on. Over this falls a second row, just
hiding the top of the first. At the
back there is an immense quantity Of
the lace, and, though it seems hardly a
rational gown, must say it is very
stylish one. The second bodice is of
orange-brown velvet. edged with lace
like the other. and with lace jabot
and transparent lace sleeves. You
can imagine how well that would suit

eyes, and perfect coloring.- London

have just returned from the shores
of Lake Superior, where spent some
time visiting the copper regions, said
to be the greatest in the world.
Throughout the rocky, barren Kewee-
nav peninsula, good for nothing as
farming lands, the immense copper de-
posits have caused large towns to
spring up, and they now give employ
ment to tens Of thousands of men.
About Is years ago a pig strayed from
the drove TO which it belonged and fell
into pit on spot where the city of
Calumet now stands. In roofing about
it uncovt re mass of native copper,
and showed to the world the location
of the greatest copper mine it has ever
known. As the result of that pigs
roofing humanity is now $35,000,000
richer in the use of the copper there
discovered, and the stockholders, who,
aided by the pig, have helped the world
to this wealth, have received about
SIS, 100000 for their trouble. A town
of 5000 inhabitants has gathered
around the pigs hole, and nearly 20OC
men are employed in operating the
mines beneath CLeCelG1ad Leader.

from the common scold;" and these
penalties were often inflicted, one of
the most effective of them being the
."ducking- chair" which in many cases
was the only one that could check the
wagging of a virulent tongue
Nothing is commoner in the ballad
literature of the sixteenth century
than the complaints Of the railing of
the scold and the shire W, and the de-
vices for tanning them were rs in
genious as they were brutal Either
the literature of the time is an awful
liEel, or scolding women were
SO numerous as to Ne great
feature of the age; scolding was
as prominent as begging, and
the scolding wife as common as the
tipsy husband. The philosopher wants
to know whether it is the temper of
women which has changed, since it is
fact that the common scold'' has
practically disappeared from modern
life (there used to be women whom
even the sheriff was afraid of, is no
more piece de resistance of literature,
and has not TO be legislated against, or
whether the apparent difference is only
change in mans attitude toward the
sex. Some students of sociology think
that mans submission has wrought
the transformation, and that women
appear to be more sweet and amiable
now they have their way unruffled. It
is very delicate question, and one
that would not be raised here except
in the interest of science. For the
disappearance of traits in human
nature is as useful study as the elm
ination of useless members or the de
velopment of new organs in our evolu
ton. Nobody except the s9ciologis
can say what the disappearance of the
common scold' has to do with mans
position in the modern recreation of
society; the business of this depart
ment is to collect facts, not to co-ordi-
nate them. H0Tpe9's M0Ggzine.

wedding, in the Enels.n Style.

As weddings in the +" English style
are all the rage this season, it may be
interesting to mention a few points
regarding what is considered the cor
rect form on the other side OF the At
lantic. After the departure of the
bride and bridegroom the party at
once breaks up, and in London it is
not customary to have any festivity in
the evening In the country there is
often dance to amuse those staying
in the house. Neither cards nor CAKE
are sent, and people discover for them
selves when the young people return
from their wedding tour and call at
their convenience. When the bride
appears for the first time at a dinner
in any house. she takes precedence of
el cryone, no matter how high his
rank, provided such appearance is
within three months of her marriage,
after which time she is no longer con-
sidered bride. This custom is, how
ever, beginning to fall in disuse, ex-
cepting in rural districts. The bride
groom does not obtain any precedence.
The bride often wear, her wedding
dress for her first large dinners and
parties. The orange blossoms must be
removed. as they are only permissible
on the wedding day.-Neso York

Fashion Notes.

The blouse dress is popular both for
street and house wear.
1t is said that side-laced shoes will
be in great favor all this season.
Skirts are made this season so long
that they barely escape touching the
ground.
Velvet ribbon backed with satin or
ottoman is largely used in autumn
millinery.
For travelling costumes and simple
walking dresses the redingote is in
much favor.
Jet butterflies look well placed in the
centre of large velvet bows of gay
colors on hats.
Lace panures with a ruffle, and gath
cred and rundown collar, are wor
with all elegant dresses.
Both plain and Terry veIvet are
largely used for trimming costumes
and mantles.
The fashion of the epaulet or passe-
menterie, is very pretty; it is added
to many dresses, on one side only, of
course.
Jerseys for house wear are orna-
mented with gold and silver braiding,
which extends down the front and
around the sleeves.
Two-toned glace silks, matching the
colors of the upper part of the toilet,
are employed for underskirts, with
but very little trimming.
Hair stripes, rough looking woolens
trimmed with fanciful embroidery,
and small checks and plaids of various
styles are equally fashionable.
Black straw hats are frightened by
very rich colors both in velvet and
fruit clustered, such as cherries,
Strawberries, crab apples and golden
pears.
As compromise between the plain
bodice and the draped tunic sort of
jacket is made with pleated basques,
which form kind of pannier and
tournure.
A unique coat of brocaded wool
has the back arranged in fine plaits;
the front has the shape of a plain
sacque. revers OF velvet extending
from the neck to the foot; cincture
belt, coat sleeves and velvet cuff
A pretty suit for a young girl is Of
blue and chestnut plaid, and has a kilt
ed skirt faced up to depth of six
inches. with chestnut and blue short
taffetas.
The satin damasks and brocades
worn last year have lost favor for mon
Otone dresses. but win continue to be
used in small figures that are made up
of many cOlors.

Heavier than Dough.

"What is the heaviest thing in the
world ?" asked young Sharply of Mrs.

Ventilation.

If two persons are to occupy q sleep
ing room together for a night, let them
be weighed upon retiring, and then
again in the morning, and they will
find that the actual weight is a. least
one pound less in the morning. Ere
luently there will be loss of two or
more pounds, and the average loss
throughout the year will be mbee than
apound. That is, during tiec night
there is loss of pound of smatter
which has gone off from the body,
partly through the lungs and partly
through the pores in the skin. The
escaped material is carbonic acid gas
and decayed animal matter, or poison
Gus exhalations. This is sGiffused
through the air in part, and in part
absorbed by the bed-clothes. IF sin
gle ounce of wooc or cotton ba:burned
in room, it will so completely satur-
qte the air with smoke that S9ne can
hardly breathe, though there can be
but an ounce of foreign matter in the
air. If an ounce of cotton be burned
every half hour during the night, the
air will be continuously saturated with
smoke, unless there is an outlet for it.
Now the sixteen ounces of smoke thus
formed are far less dangerous or poi
sonous than the.sixteen ounces of ex-
halations from the lungs and tOdies of
two persons who have lost round in
weight during the eight hours DC sleep
ing. for while the dry smoke IS mainly
taken into the lungs, the datsip odors
from the body are absorbed beth into
the lungs and into the pores oe the en-
tire body.
Nothing stronger can be, said to
prove the necessity for ventilation in
