Charles II. Washburn has patented an
electrical apparatus by which the control Of
the rudder of vessel can be taken entirely
out Of the hands Of the man at the wheel at
any moment and assumed on the bridge by
the officer in charge. 1t is automatic. The
ship is set on her course. When she varies
from it the vibration Of compass card
closes an electrical circuit, and brings her
back again. Compress sed air is force made
use of in the apparatus. The inventor has
received permission to try his new machin-
cry on the old United States steamer Talla-
poosa. Perhaps the Tallapoosa will thus be
put to some useful purpose at last. Mr..
Washburn says Of his ideas

least upset one Of the favorite theories OF
the old electricians can surround COM
pass with electricity without DETECTING its
needle. Old electricians think | am crazy

Undergarments are as varied in make as
ever. They are trimmed with profusion
of rich lace either the real article or an imi-
tation. Chemises, cOrsets and drawers have
small ale or satin bows. Even petticoats
have ribbon shirrings in all colors. Some
rich trousseaus have all the undergarment'
trimmed with the most costly embroidery,
very sparinely used. The chemiSes have
often no rutiies on the borders nor ribbons
under the insertions. Fine laces are used i'll
the same wav. Many skirts have no lace
trimmings, or have only very narrow Dor

MILITARY TELEPHONE.

An officer goes forward accommodating.
He is accompanied by soldier who carries
a reel of telephone wire attached to a bat
terry at headquarters. As the two advance
the reel unwinds, and the wire lies along the
ground.
When it is desired to talk the soldier
sticks short wire connected with the tele-
phone receiver into the ground. This is to
complete the circuit with the battery at
headquarters. The current passes back
through the ground, just as in case of the
telegraph. Then the officer, with glasses to
his eyes, puts the telephone receiver to his
lips and shouts 'helion in French. He is
answered back. Then he tells headquarters
what he has discovered of the enemy's move
ments. The commander gives him his in.
structions in the same manner. Different
parts of large camp might be connected
with the same wire. This all sounds very
pleasant and scientific, AMI so it is, except
for the common soldier, wEo has to car ~
the reel Of tele phone wire

BRAZILIAN Oranges.

Oranges flourish and are profitable in all
parts of Brazil, and the expectation OF them
amounts to several millions annually. The
Umbigo, the favor.ts variety at Bahia, is
without seeds, large, sweet and delicious, be
gins to ripen about May, and lasts till Sep
tember. The most common and popular
kind at RIO Janeiro is the Siietta, which has
a sweet and delicat, flavor. The Tangerina
is q smaller variety than the Siletta, many
seeded and ripening at about the same
time, and has a deep orange-colored
skin that breaks easily in ped
ing. with an aromatic odor. The orange
orchards are generally situated on low and
sandy land, convenient 70 transportation by
water. The trees are planted along from
February 10 May about fifteen feet apart,
and begin TO bear in about five or six years,
yielding then from twenty to thirty oranges
each, and increasing their crop for ten years
till in full hearing, when they produce from
300 to 800. and, in most favorable circum-
stances, !, 900 oranges year The trees re-
main fruitful for more than thirty years.
The cost Of cultivating and attending 1000
orange trees in Brazil is estimated at about
$40 year.

Girls Cricket Match.

The other day a cricket match took place
between eleven of a well known girls school
in Surrey, England, and eleven Of the ladies
If the neighborhood. The ladies wore their
usual costume, and tia schoolgirls we're at
tired in white TUNES, Eton blue caps and
sashes to match, black stockings anu white
knickerbockers. They also wore red roses
as badge while their opponents wore
white. The school were the vlctors-making
as many as ninety-nine runs in their second
innlngs-and retired amid great applause,
wearing the white roses Of their opponents.

With the short basques now worn it is a
difficult matter for those who have small
hips to le, 70 the dress skirt from slipping too
low down and showing the belt and an ugly
space between the skirt and waist. To pre-
vent this a good plan is to sew three fiat but
tons on the Ielt of the skirt, and attach
three loops to correspond on the inside telt
of the basque The loops hang jus. below
the belt and may be of narrow tape, or else
small squares of the material OF the lining,
with buttonhole worked lengthwise in the
middle of each. One is placed in the middle
of the back, and the others are on the UNDER
arm seams. This arrangement has also the
good effect of taking the weight OFF the hips
and is most useful in heavy wool dresses.

In New York city there were over LOCO
deaths for the week ending July 10. very
large proportion was caused by the heat.
The New York board of health tEereupon
immediately issued its annual summer CIR
cular 1t is printed in four languages and
scattered through the length and breadth of
the city. It's leading suggestions are as fo--
lows for sunstroke:
Prevention-Don't lose your s.eep; sleep
in cool place; don't worry; don't get ex-
cited: don't drink too much alcohol; avoid
working in the sun If you can; if indoors,
work in a wel.-ventllatel room; wear thin
clio. hes: wear light hat, not black; put a
large green leaf or wet cloth in it, drink
water freely and sweat freely; if 1atigued
or dizzy, knock off work, lie down in a cool
place, and apply cold water AMI cold cloths
to your hea and neck.
Cure-Put the patient in the shade;
loosen his clothes about the neck: send for
the nearest doctor; give the patient cool
drinks of water or black tea or black coffee,
if he can swallow. If his skin is hot and
dry prop him up, sitting, against tree or
wall; pour cold water over the body and
limbs anil put on his head pounded ice
wrapped in cloth or towel. If you can't
get ice, use wet cloth, and keep freshening
it. But If the patient is pale and faint and
his pulse is feeble, lay him on his back,
make him smell hartshorn for few seconds.
or give him teaspoonful of aromatic
spirits of ammonia or tincture Of ginger in
two tablespoonsful of water. In this case
use no cold water, but rub the hands and
feet and warm them by hot applications
until the circulation is restored.

sons who have hal cholera are nCS exempt

Tactic effect, however successfully inocu-

When To Stop Running.

The age at which running can be prac-
ticed, an eminent physician says, by a
healthy man in training is from 20 to so.
Boys and girls also of 10 or II can run with
no apparent fatigue. In boys races, for those
under IA years no previous training should
be inflicted No one should train for run
ming until he is Is, but 20 would be the safer
Between 20 and p is the best age for attain
ing speed in running. Between 30 and 40 a
wise man will think twice before under
going training for race running. Older
men should run on no pretense whatever.

ELECTRIC FAN.

The battery is contained in a little box
four to five inches square. 1t holds material
to generate electricity enough to turn the
fan several hours. The fan is fixed upon
a hinge, so that it can be set at any desired
angle, thus changing its direction. Clock
work fans are not uncommon. In large fac
tories, where numbers of men are crowded
together in hot rooms, large revolving
wooden fans are attached to the machinery
and worked by steam. But this neat little
electric arrangement seems an improvement
on any other plan that has yet been tried.

made an extensive show. Those who declare
that the female mind cannot invent any
thing but an excuse would have been little
staggered in their faith. The womnnS de-
partmant Of the great show displayed as

Six war vessels have just been completed

nous admirals. One of these, just launched,
is the Benbow. 1t was built at the Thames
iron works, Blackwell. The admiral ships
are all of the so-called citadel type. This
class of vessels leave their ends exposed at
the water line, and armor heavily amidships.
On this account they have been bitterly
criticised
The Benbow is, however, the most notable
vessel Of her class in the British navy. She
is different from others in that she carries
