AalOr,s Yacht.

The following. from the New YORK
Sun, will show what New Yorkers
think of the handiwork of Wilmingt tor
mechanics, as shown in Astor's new
steam yacht, which is now at that city
Standing on the keel blocks in an
empty dry dock at the Erie Basin yes
terday, the great size and comfortable
proportions of William Astor's new
steam yacht Nourmahal were plainly
exhibited. Figures do not flu lly con-
vey the impress of the size of the mod
ern yacht. If the yacht could be set
down in Fourth avenue with the stern
even with the Twenty third street front
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
! ton building, the ound.faced figure
head would look smilingly down on the
people who would gather on the lower
corner of Twenty second street to look
at her, while one sidewalk and one
street car track in the avenue would be
wholly blocked. Men on deck could
look into the third story windows. Peo-
pie who looked at the yacht yesterday
did not realize this, because the sharp
lines of her model forward and aft CON
cealad her full proportions. And yet,
If she were to be turned into full pas
senger boat she would easily carry 300
to 400 passengers besides several hun
dred tons of freight, together with coal
for long voyage. One difference be-
tween this yacht and the new govern
ment despatch boat Dolphin is that the
yacht has a coal capacity to enable her
owner to travel across the ocean. The
Nourmahal was built for safety rs we'll
~ speed, and to this end Der sailing rig
differs materially from that of every
other American steam yacht afloat. She
is q three masted TOP. p.sail schooner, ,hav-
ing square topsails and top gallant sails
on the fore and main, and fore and aft
lower sails. The spread of canvas would
enable her to make headway against a
fonl wind without the aid of her engine.
To handle the dozen sails which she
spreads she carries ten sailors before
the mast. The engine room requires
ten coal beavers and two engineers, and
her crew all told will number about
forty five people, including a dozen
cooks, stewards and servants. The
quarters for officers and crew are aft,
the main saloon being a,nidships, with
the state rooms forward. The pay Of
the crew runs from 81, 900 u year down
to $l5 por month. The Nourmahal is
built of steel, and the thickness of her
plates aud frames makes her one of the
strongest yachts afloat. Her saloons
and state-rooms have not yet been fur
nished, but when complete they will
be equal to anything of the kind yet
designed. She was built by the Harlan
& Hollingsworth Company, from plans
by Gustav Hillman, of City Island. She
will De commanded by Captain 8. w.
Freestone, formerly of the Ambassa-
dress. 1t is said that she cost $3.50, 900.
1t will cost from $40, 900 to S25, 600 q year
to support her.

An Eccentric Passenger.

A passenger on the just arrived
steamer from Australia says that on the
second day out from Melbourne the pas
sengers were amazed to behold little,
swarthy faced, black-eyed man emerge
from his stateroom in full jockey cos
tume-boots, whip. spurs, silk jacket,
and all. In this attire he solemnly
paced up and down the deck for an
hour and then disappeared.
The next morning the same party ap-
peared attired in the half armor of a
knight of the middle ages. and the
same afternoon emerged in gorgeous
cardinals dress, and continued his dig
nified promenad without speaking q
word to any one.
The fact that all these costumes were
u world too large for the wearer made
this masquerading the more grotesque,
and the passengers watched each trans
formation with increased merriment
until it WAS suddenly whispered around
that the fellow was madman who
imagined himself going to perpetual
series of masked balls and that any op-
position to his delusion would provoke
him to fury.
The strange passenger ratified the
nerves Of the company very much the
next morning by appearing as Bed
ouin Arab, armed with cruel-looking
scimetar. but when shortly after dinner
he showed up as Piute Indian, carry
ing a blood-curdling tomahawk and
scalping knife. the women and children
locked themselves in their staterooms.

Whiskers from . Ysung Lady's Point Of
View.

Newark Call.
II think somebody ought to formu-
late a language Of whiskers." declared
u philosophical miss to a reporter.
Suppose you begin with the mus
tache. What is your estimation of the
man whose upper lip alone is covered?"
LAS a rule, I have high opinion of
the man who wears mustache. OF
course, there are noodle heads who are
prouder OF their mustaches than pea
cock Of its new feathers, but they are
not the ooes l indorse. and they really
do bring the mustache into disrepute.
There are few faces which are not
improved by n carefully cultivated mus
tache, and l think when a mustache
signifies anything at all it is something
creditable. OF course, there are mus
toches which are as void Of expression
IS the moss on dead log. and don't
mean that every mustache is an Advo-
cate for its wearer. but the most are.
Some mems faces remind me of royal
Bengal tiger, and such are very wise
to wear a mustache, which they usually
can do. The stiff, brusque. military
mustache always adds dignity to its
possessor. and the man who can wear
An iron-gray mustache should be.
think, an object Of envy to his sex. The
mustachc brushed back and up don't I
like. 1t makes man look too hippant
The mustache clipped even with the
lips gives man sinister air. The cx-
travagantly long mustache is n sure in
dication Of inordinatc vanity. and the
pointed mustachG is an exhibition of
pitiful weakness or painful snobbery.
The most interesting mustache is the
young mans first, and the most de-
lightful is the silky mustache OF the
young man OF twenty-five"
well, that's n pretty good starter.
Tell us what you think Of the imperial,
or goatee, in all its forms"
There are some faces which are
