ON THE GALATEAS DECK AT SEA.
The hopelessness of ever regaining the cup
will not be due altogether to the lack of fast
sailing qualities on the part of American
yachts, but to the popularity of English
yachting rules, which makes virtue of small
breadth of bcam so shat the wider beam
yachts of the +Ytr11lSee types would have to
give English yachts of the same length of
keel considerable time allowance, which
would preclude theirwinning a race. Mr..
Webb has suggested mean of the yachting
rules of both countries TO govern these inter
national contests, but neither side will listen
to it.
Mr. Webb has come here as agent for the
English manufacturers of corrugated steel
boiler furnaces, which congress has recently
permitted to enter free of duty.
Mr. Webb is an extremely modest man.
He would not give any of his life romance to
the press. But on it being suggested that he
did not look like an Englishn1an he said: SNo,
Tim an Irishman, bus do not say anything
about that" So we refrain.
For thirty years or more the jolly British
tar has been making yachting scientific
study, the result being the evolution of the
cutter type of yacht, a d with it the opportu-
nifty of recovering the Americas cup. The
challenge Mr. Webbofent last year was
double-barreled one. W. was for the Genesta
and also the Galateaiedich was then on the
stocks. The idea VI CHAT in case he did not
bring down the Alnea eas cup with the first
shot he would with ie seeend. This chal
lenge came at a timefwhenSth the Americans
were unusually illprepared. In running over
the list of yachts we possessed it was found
there was no sloop large ,enough to compete
with the coming Britishers But through
men the Priscilla and furiEan sprang into
existence within the sixs xsmnszzhs allowed be-
tween the reception of the challenge and the
race Sothe Puritan a1d the Genesta meas
ured their speed side byside, and though the
Gcnesta failed she became gauge by which
other English yachts SPEED could be tested,
and as the Galatea has proved herself faster
than the Genesta, the chances of our losing
the cup this year are exceedingly great

The improvement in the house has been Sc
cured through the addition of roomy attic
story and two-story piazzas on two sides of
the building, facing south and west. A new
addition has been made to the extension also
to be constructed of stone. which will contain
the kitchen, with servants rooms overhead
The interior of the building has been arranged
to suit the wants and tastes of Mrs. Cleve-
land, whose interest in her suburban home is
not less than that of the president Nearly
every afternoon since the workmen began op-
srations Mrs Cleveland has found it pleas
ure to watch the progress of their labors,
while the president also finds new diversion
from the cares of state in seeing the homely
cottage transformed into beautiful dwelling
Of course all the modern improvements,
conveniences and appliances for household
comfort will be put in. When completed
there will be a dining room, reception room,
two parlors, one of which the president in
tends to occupy as his study, on the lower
floor, besides the pantries and large kitchen.
On the second floor will be three chambers
and dressing rooms, bath rooms, closets and
servants rooms. The attic story will contain
four commodious chambers. From the road
side the view will be very picturesque, with
good setting of trees and an extensive sloping
lawn on all sides. Tie grounds have been
very much improved during the presidents
possession of the property, and landscape gar
deners have been engaged to further adorn
the grounds and lay out new approaches from
the main road to the building.
The president expects to take possession OF
the house about the lst of October, and dur
ing Mrs Cleveland's visit north next month
arrangements will be made for furnishing her
suburban home according to her own taste

Relics of the Great Tragedy.

saw the other day two of the most curious
and interesting relics of the greatest tragedy
in American history They are the pistol
with which John Wilkes Booth shot Presi-
dent Lincoln and the dagger he held in hi:
hand when he leaped from the box to ths
stage of the theatre, crying, "Sic semper
tyrannis!" These relics are preserved il y
bureau of one of the great departments of ths
government, and with them is the bullet that
struck Mr.. Lincoln down. The pistol is the
most interesting of the lot 1t is one of tho
kind known as the Derrin@er, made in Phila-
delphia, which was very famous all through
the south and southwest thirty years AGO
The one il question is of beautiful noi ll.l;l..
ship. Its barrel is only two inches in lcllrth.
and the bullet weighs about quarter of ail
ounce The entire length of the weapon is
but four inches IT'S mounting is of silvcrg
and the lock is one of the finest and most per,
feet pieces of workmanship have ever seen,
even in these weapons, which were very ex-
pensive and elaborate. The bullet is much
battered, and was evidently driven into the
muzzle (for the pistol is q inuzzle Ioader) by
the use of a mallet and iron loading rod Con-
sidering the heavy charge of powder under
the bullet, before it was fired, the latter must
have been only half an inch from the muzzle.
and could easily have been touched with ones
little finger inserted into the barrel The
marks of the rifiing in the barrel are clearly
visible ON the bullet, which was very much
aattened from striking the skull. Altogether,
more interesting and ghastly curio l have
never seen. While handling the pistol /
looked at the end of the breech I found
there receptacle for percussion caps, which
had evidently been overlooked, and upon
opening it I found solitary cap, which
Booth had evidently put there himself, in
tending, if by amy chance the one on the tube
of the pistol exploded without firing it, tc

DEPARTURE.


lt YVES not like your great and gracious waysi
do You, that have none other co lament,
Never, my love, repent
OF how. that July afternoon,
You went
With sudden, unintelligible phrase,
And frightened eye,
Upon your journey of SO many days,
Without single kiss, or good-bys
knew, indeed, that you were parting soon,
And so we safe within the low SUMS rays,
You whispering to me, for your voice vas
weak,
Your narrowing praise.
Well, it was well
TO hear you such things speak,
And could tell
What made your eyes a glowing gloom OF
As warm south wind sombers q March

And it was like your great and gracious WAYS
70 turn your talk on daily things, my dear,
Lifting the luminous, pathetic lash
To let the laughter fash,
Whilst drew near,
Because you spoke SO low that could scarcely
hear. .-...
But all at once to leave me at the last,
More at the wonder than at the loss aghast,
With huddled, unintelligible phrase,
And frighten'd eye,
And go your journey of all days
With not one Kiss, nor good-by,
And the only loveless look the look with
which you pass'd;
Twas all unlike your great and gracious
ways. Coventry Patmore.

Lieut. HEM built the Galatea not only for
the purpose of challenging for the America
cup, but also with the object of having

himself and wife, How far he has succeeded
i'm the latter respect is shown in the accorl-
panying view of Galatea's main saloon, taken

clearly that the narrow yacht, above NIL

designer for interior arrangements. An alb

one that would capture the international
challenge cup, known as the Americas cup,
which the yacht America won over all the
yachts in Europe in 1851, and which has been
successfully defended by American yachts on
several occasions since. Britannia may rule
the wave, but she cannot in truth be termed
mistress of the seas as long as that cup re-
mains on this side of the Atlantic. So with
this purpose in view, Mr.. Webb has been
studying and designing yachts for years.
The Galatea is an Improvement on the Ge-
ncsta, and so confident is Mr.. Webb of her
success in the coming races that he has given
up yacht building to come here and engage
in other business. ..7z
Meeting him the other day in bis sumptuous
office, in Wall street, New York, he said:

did not show her best work Last season, owing
to the lack of proper crew, but with the
continuous drilling they have had during
their transatlantic voyage, we expect to
show you some fast sailing, and if the Gala
tea carries the cup home with her, you may
say" Throwing kiss with his fingers agood-

Chicago is a magnificent ey-making

lures with the wealth made in Chicago the
universal western art movement has not yet
made itself greatly felt there however. 1t
has an art school called the Chicago Art
institute. The handsome structure shown in
the Illustration is at present in process of
erection for the institute. Not much progress
has been made in the one important field of
the industrial arts. The only competent
American designer and decorator in the
whole city is graduate of the st. Louis Art
school. But all this viii be changed speedily,
Chicago people say. The city is too new to

years nothing could be attended to outside of

Ancient Nuremberg iron work and brass

the exquisitely wrought iron work of the city
which Longfellow has written about in one
of his strongest poems. Wealth drops away,
the supremacy of war and commerce depart,
but good work lasts forever.
1t was Nuremberg's skilled mechanics that
have made her glory enduring. 1t is the les
son for America to learn to-day. The true
artistic spirit is that which advances the COM
mon industrial occupations and brings them
to their highest excellence and beauty.
Art is not number of pictures hanging in
gallery. 1t is that which makes beautiful
the landscape, which makes the carpenter
work solid in its construction and perfect in
its finish. 1t is that spirit which prompts the
worker to complete whatever he touches in
the best possible manner
This principle of the application of the ar
tistic spirit to the common industries of life
has taken deeper root in the west than in the
east. The result is seen in all the large cities
of the interior and OF the west.

to initiate old masters, but to give simply

school, "is to do something with raw

There are not many copies Of old European
pictures in the St Louis Art museum. But
there is what is better, reproduction of works

work, and will make a great impression on

Eyolntionist, Philosopher and Author of
the Principles of Sociology"

One of the great minds of England is pass
ing away from among men. Herbert Spencer
has been troubled for years with persistent
insomnia and nervousness. When he visited
America in 1889 he carried hop pillow with
him everywhere to produce sleep. But the
obstinate trouble seems to be getting the bet
ter of him at last. Herbert Spencer is not a
very old man, as we count age now. He was
born in Derby, England, in 1920. He is not
as old as Gladstone by eleven years, nor has
his life been passed amid anything like the
wear and tear through which the great pre-
mier has lightly carried his T6 years.
Mr.. Spencer was educated by his father
who was teacher in Derby. He early
showed great fondness for mathematics and
natural history.
He was intended for a civil engineer, and
engaged in that profession at first But so
many other young men crowded into it that
the field was overstocked.' Young Spencer
abandoned it to try literature. II he had had
his beginning In our time he would have
found the journalistic and literary field
crowded to such degree that the civil engi-
neer's profession would be emptiness in COM
parison.
Next to Charles Darwin, Herbert Spencer
has had influence on the scientific thought Of
his time. The two minds were similar, ex-
cept that Darwins ran rather to the field of
active experiment and research among ami
mails and things, Spencer's more to develop
ing philosophical thought in the study and
library. Spencer was as ardent an evolution
ist as Darwin, hut he was more interested in
evolution as applied to government and

His first important work was published In
1850, when he was 80 years old 1t was "Social
States; or the Conditions Essential to Human
Happiness Specified, and the First of Them

of this great thinker that that first book Of
his has never been excelled, If, indeed, it has

MILK for children :, Summer.

Among the tenement population, where
Ice is scarce, milk in summer fit for the ten
der stomachs of infants must be seldom at
tainable, and there is reason to believe that
much of the cholera infantum which swells
the summer mortality is due to the acids
which are developed by the decomposition Of
milk But this is only part of the evil De-
spite the use of ice and the most pervasive
cleanliness, milk is apt to sour upon the
hands of the retail dealer, and even in transit
from the dairy. To prevent this, attempts
are made to preserve it with chemical com
pounds, including, as DIR. Bartley shows, q
substance known as rex magnus, composed OF
boric acid, borax and common salt.
The effect of the continued ingestion of
these chemicals is TO produce irritation Of the
kidneys and 6vers OF adults; upon those of
children their influence must be yet more
severe how the problem of supplying
wholesome milk for infants in tenements
through the torrid days Of summer is
TO be solved, we do not pretend to
say, but parents scan at least take
special precautions, to the extent of
their ability, to keep the milk fresh, by con-
slant securing of vessels and bottles, and as

WHAT LACK WE YETI

When Washington was president,
As cold as any icicle, r
he never on railroad went,
And never rode bicycle.
He read by no electric lamp,
Nor heard about the Yellowstone;
He never hcketl a postage stamp,
And never saw a telephone
His trousers ended at his knees,
By wire he could not words dispatch;
He filled his lamp with whale oil grease,
And never had a match to scratch.
But in these days it's come to pass,
All work is with such dashing done,
We've all these things-but, then, alas.
We seem to have no Washington.
