When Jenny Lind was in Edinburgh in
the year 1865, she was one day purchas-
ing songs in u music sellers in Prince
street. The attendant who served her, a
young man, not knowing who stood
before him, asked if she had yet been to
hear the great Jenny Lind" Tho
question being answered in the atiirma-
tive, and he in turn being asked by this
stranger if he had heard the Swedish
Nightingale" he replied that, much
though he desired to hear her, the very
high prices OF the tickets were far beyond
his slender income. Jenny Lind then
asked him to play the accompaniment to
the song which she held in her hand.
Quite unconscious of everything but the
sweet notes which poured forth from this
strangers throat, the young man played
on. At the close the singer turned
round, babe him adieu, and with the
words, Now you have heard Jenny
Lind walked out Of tho saloon, without
waiting for a word of thanks from the
astonished youth.-Leeds Mercury.

The material for building the boat
should be well selected. For the center
timber white pine will do, though n
tougher wood is better. The runner
plank or planks should not be made of
anything less tough than ash. The run
ner skatcs ut the end Of the runner planks
are held by Chocks made of white oak.
The runners nre fastened between these
chocks by Ut iron bolt, which acts as q
pivot, allowing the runner skate free play
up and down, like a rocker. This Is to
provide for passing uneven places in the
ice. A rubber spring is often placed over
the skate to ease the jolting. The runner
skate is made of white oak and shod with
iron, the iron being beveled and quite
sharp. There should be two sets, the one
very sharp for smooth ice and strong
winds, the other somewhat dullep for
rough or soft ice and light winds.
The rudder is n runner skate, very
sharp in order that it will take hold Of
the ice. The helmsman sits in q small
cockpit or box, constructed of white pine,
ash or spruce, from which he must steer
with great care. Too sudden q turn of
the tiller when running fast would pro-
duce n sudden curve to which there
would be tangent n line representing the
crew flying straight on over the ice in the
direction from which the boat was de-
Elected. Then, cracks must be carefully
passed. First the boat is headed so as to
lose the wind, and then she is run across
the crack at right angles, so that both
runners will go over it at once. 1t is tho
office of the helmsman to sail the boat,
directing her course, and in n measure
her speed, taking advantage of air cur
rents, if not of water currents, rs in the
case of water yachts, to avoid obstacles,
and, when required, to stop the. boat with

AMERICAN CLIPPER TILLfE L. sTARDUCK.
The celebrated Blackball line, the first
Of The packet lines, was founded after the
yrr of 1879 had secured the rights of
American IN During the first
decade OF its existence twenty-three days
was the average time between New York
and Liverpool, though the Canada lone
OF the Blackball line once made the trip
ont in fifteen days and eighteen hours.
These vessels, though only from 400 to
800 tons burden, were considered very
large, and in comparison with the mer-
chautmen of . former period were ocean
palaces. In 1921 n second line was started
tho Red Star linc-and when, soon
after. it was followed by the Swallow Tail
line, New York had the exclusive benefit
81 a fast weekly service to Liverpool. Tho
vessels Of these lines were added to from
tiuc TO time, gradually increasing in
burden till they reached 1900 tons, md
about the year 1910 Capt. Z. X. Collins
Iaftcrwnrd the proprietor of n line of
steamers established the Dramatic line,
whose vessels were all named for promi-
nent actors.
In 1910 the prominence of packet ships
began to decline, but n new service was
]Epriagiug up called tho clipper service,
which lasted till 1855. Tho first OF these
ships was the Rainbow, built about 1913,
lOT inc Inllh lEAue, Ou IN OTueT lTOIn
William II. Aspinwall. Her speed was
greater than the packets. hence she was
enabled To secure better freight. This in
duced others to bald clippers until, in the
year 1859, there arrived in a Francisco
157 vessels, of which 20 were clippers.
Prior TO the civil war British ship build
ers had tried to compete in the construc-
ton of vessels, but had not succeeded in
wrestling the palm for such work from
America. Blu then came the Alabama
Since that time American merchant ma
rine has almost entirely lost its grip on the
foreign carrying trade; indeed, has almost
entirely disappeared from the high sens.
But till now the American flag has floated
over the vessels in the India and China
trade with the new world. There have
been some fine ships in this trade, three
masted schooners and swift iron built
clippers, and they are now about the only
ships seen Mt sea bearing the American
flag.
And now it is announced that the last re-
mains of Americas once famous shipping
is to 90 the way Of all predecessors. The
British owners Of the Anchor line have de-
cidcd to place n line Of steamers between
New York and India. 1t is supposed that,
being able To make the trip quicker than
the sailing vessels, they will take the
trade. Thus, the period from 1910 to 1860,
famous for American shipping, has been
succeeded by twenty years OF British SUI
prcmaCy on the ocean, and now the last
ships Of American merchant marine are
about to fold their sails.
