Progress IN ShlpbuIlding.

The past year has seen the building and
equipment of the fastest, most powerfully arm
ed and most heavily armored war ship that has
yet been constructed. 1t has also seen the ''be-
ginning of the end" of armored ships. Erics-
sons torpedo-boat trials have demonstrated
many things, and among; others the fact that "a
vessel may be sent to the bottom with celebrity
and dispatch which make her armor only valu-
able AS sinker. High authorities abroad have
expressed the opinion recently that. in the fli-
ture, ii would not be worth while to attempt to
keep out any thing except the balls from ma
chine guns. When merchant steamers can
make from Wtuty-onc to twenty-five miles per
hour, the vessels of war must not have less
rate of speed if any prizes are to be taken. If
the armor is useless an equal weight in the en-
gne-room would be far better investment. If
t0rpedoes or torpedo boats are to be generally
used. the ship of the future must carry her ar
NOR over her whole hull if she is to be protect
ed. 1t is even doubtful if the ''Esmeraldas" 81
inches of armor would keep out one of the tor
pedoes used by Ericsson on his boat last sum
mer. Ii these would not carry explosives
enough to sink ship, it is an easy matter to en-
large their capacity until they will do so. In

ridge that separates Maine from Canada, and
descends by easy gradients to the Saint Lawrence,
opposite the ancient citadel of Quebec. This rail
road, reaching from the seaboard to the interior,
will impart new value to every farm and to every
farm product within striking distance of its line.
1t will lift the mortgage by enhancing the value of
every acre of land, of every bushe of potatoes, of
every ton of hay and of every tree of the forest

ing the market of the farmer, clear the land of its
forests, which, instead of being burnt on the
ground and wasted, will be brought to market and
turned into gold, while the waterfalls running to
waste on the route will be made great abordoing
machines, producing articles of value In various
forms of manufacture and in numerous forms of
industry. AS you reach the lake you will
connect with &c miles of the finest inland naviga-
ton in summer, and the untouched forests around
MoOSehead Lake will come to market. Cultivated
fields and farms will take the place of primeval
woodlands. The waters of this lake will be veXed
with steamers as numerous as those that now ply
upon the lakes of Switzerland; and the beautiful
headlandS now clad in the garb of nature, hiding
places of the moose and deer, will become classic
in after times like the shores of Lake Leman and
the Lake of Geneva, the homes of scholars, poets,
and historians. There is not cord of wood on
the margin of MooSehead Lake that will not be of

years from the time the railway shall reach the

The ringing laugh that burst from Nellies
lips was TOO contagious to be resisted, even by
those at whose expense it was raised.
This merriment was followed by a general
good feeling, and pleasanter tea party never
gathered around the social board. We need
hardly say that Russell did not take the stage
next morning, nor did Jennie seem at all dis
posed to cut short her visit on account of her
cousins unexpected appearance. When they
did go, they went as they came, together Mr..
Wilder's astonshment was only equaed by his
delight, on looking out of the window. to see
the two walking up the path toward the house,
arm in arm, and apparently on the best of
terms.
As for Russell and Jennie, they seemed to re-
gard this unexpected meeting as an indication
of their manifest destiny.' accepting it as
such, much to the joy Of their uncle, whose dar-
ling wish was accomplished in the marriage of
the two, thus made happy in spite of them
selves.

Mark Twain at Work.

HIS ONE SOLACE. OVERWHELMING TESTI-
MON Y AGAINST A BRAND OF CIGARS.
Mr.. Clemens divides his year into two parts,
which are not exactly for work and play re-
,pectively, but which differ very much in the
nature of their occupations. From the first of
June to the middle of September, the whole
family, consisting of Mr.. and Mrs. Clemens and
their three little girls, are at Elmira \. Y.
They live there with Mr.. I. W. Crane, whose
wife is ii sister of Mrs. Clemens. A summer
house has been built for Mr.. Clemens within
the Crane grounds, on a high peak, which
stands 800 feet above the valley that lies spread
out before it. The house is built almost entire
iy of glass, and is modelled exactly on the plan
of d Mississippi steamboats, pilot house. Here,
shut of from all communication, Mr.. Clemens
does the hard work of the year, or rather the
conhnng and engrossng work of writing,
which demands continuous application, day af-
ter day. The lofty workroom is some distance
from the house. He goes TO it every morning
about half past eight and stays there until call
ed to dinner by the blowing of horn about five
O'Clock. He takes no lunch or noon meal of
any sort, and works without eating, while the
rules are imperative not to disturb him during
this working period. His only recreation is his
cigar. lie Is an inveterate smoker, and smokes
constantly while at his work. and indeed, all
the time. from half-past eight in the morning to
half-past ten at night, stopping only when at
his meals. A cigar lasts him about 40 minutes.
now that he has reduced to an exact science the
art of reducing the weed to ashes. So he
smokes from 10 to 20 cigars every day. Some
time ago he was persuaded TO stop the practice,
and actually went Il year and more without to-
bacco but he found himself unable to carry
along important work which he undertook. and
it was not until he resumed smoking that he
could do it. Since then his faith in his cigar
has not Wavered. Like other American smok
ers, Mr.. Clemens is unceasng in his search for
really satisfactory cigar at a really satisfac-
tory price, and. first and last, has gathered a
good deal of experience in the pursuit. 1t is
related that, having entertained party of gen
tlemen one winter evening In Hartford, b. gave
to each, just before they left the house. one of a
| new sort OF cigar that he was trying to believe
was the object of his search. He made each
| guest light ii before starting. The next morn
| ing he found all that he had given away lying
ON the snow beside the pathway across his
lawn Each smoker had been polite enough to
| smoke until he got out Of the house, but every
| one on gaining his liberty had yielded to the iu
| siinct of self preservation and tossed the cigar
| away, forgetting that it would be found there
| by daylight. The testimony of the next morn
| ing was overwhelming, and the verdict ag inst
| the new brand was accepted. rhe Critic.

Analyzing the Baking Powders.

"RoYAL." THE ONLY ABSOLUTELY PURE BAK-
ING POWDER MADE.-ACTION OF TIE NEW
YORK STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Under the direction of the New York State
Board of Health, eighty-four different kinds of
baking powders, embracing all the brands that
could be found for sale in the State, Were sub
mtted to examination and anal ysis by Prof. G.
F. Chandler, a Member of the State Board and
President of the New York City Board of
Health, assisted by Prof. Edward &. Love, the
weil-known late United States Government
chemist.
The official report shows that a large number
OF the powders examined were found to contain
alum or lime; many of them to such an extent
as to render them seriously Objectionable for
use in the preparation of human food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine samples.
This drug is employed in baking powders to
cheaper their cost. The presence of lime is
attributed to the impure cream of tartar of
commerce used in their manufacture. Such
cream of tartar was also analyzed and found to
contain lime and other impurities, in some
samples to the extent of 50 per cent. of their
entire weight.
All the baking powders of the market, with
the single exception of Royal" (not including
the alum and phosphate powders, which We're
long since discarded as unsafe or inefficient by
prudent housekeepers) are made from the i'm
pure cream of tartar of commerce, and conse-
quenlly contain lime TO corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found by chemi-
cal analysis to be entirely free from lime and
absolutely pure is the Royal" This perfect
purity results from the exclusive use of cream
of tartar specially refined and prepared by pa
tent processes of the N. Y. Tartar Co., which
totally remove the tartarate of lime and other
impurities. The cost of this chemically pure
cream of tartar is much greater than any other,
and on account of this great cost is used in no
baking powder but the 'Royal."
Prof. Love, who made the analysis of baking
powders for the New York State Board of
HEALTH as well as for the Government, says of
the purity and wholesomeness of the "RoyaP' ::
81 have tested a package of Royal Baking
Powder which l purchased in the open mar

| substances. ''E. Il. LOVE, Ph.D."
