Whatever we say Of Linen
we can never say a better word
than that Linen here is really
Linen. How many stores can
you make sure of that in?
We were never in better
shape with fine Linen. In
Tablecloths or Table Linen by
the yard the three best makes
now are Irish, German, Scotch.
Irish for extreme hneness and
extra weight; German for fine
ness, sOftness, and good designs;
Scotch for pattern, quality and
wear. Scotch designers have
been brushing up a bit. ANY
one Of these makes is good
enough Linen for anybody.
Take Irish. Tablecloths,w with
Napkins to match, tea, lunch
or dinner sizes. Cloth big
ensugh to spread a table IS or
20 feet long and yard and a
halfwide. Whatever the design
rose or daisy or leaf perhaps
it lies in relief on the snowy
ground as if thrown there. Not
simply the goods of one maker;
the best of half a dozen makers.
Patterns culled here and there
wherever the choicest could be
had.
German Damasks at $I.Io.
are moneyful; but we have a
wonderful 90 inch wide quality
at SOC. Bleached, clean, clear
yarn without roughness or
knots. Hold it to the light.
No flax bark there. The more

it. Napkins to match, $I.Io.

Astor's Expensive Yacht.

Within stones throw of South Brooklyn
pier recently were fifteen yachts, sloops and
schooners, little and big. They represented
81 900, 900 of capital The highestpriced was
Mr.. Astor's big 273 feet long steam yacht
Nourmahal, which lay looming up like an
ocean steamer The Nourmahal cost $500, :
900, and Mr. William Astor, her owner, uses
her for about three months in the year. The
other nine months she lies idle The expense of
running this leviathan toy is sc, 900 per month.
By the necessary expense is meant the cost Of
fuel and the wages and keep of her crew.
What Mr.. Astor spends in entertainments,
ETC., on board OF course nobody knows but
himself. The expenses, therefore, of keeping
the Nourmahal for a year, outside of her
owners personal expenditures, is: Interest
| on money invested, $4,000; expenses fol
time she is in commission, $4,000; repairs
| ETC., each spring, about $1,000; total, S4l, 900
From these figures it would be easy to esti
mate how much the yacht would cost to keel
should she be in commission the year round
About 100000 would just about cover it
| Even Mr. Astor, with all his wealth, coult
scarcely afford this, and so the Nourmaha
lies idle most of the time.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Cold and Stolid Young Italians.

The Italians fruit vender's daughter has
become numerous enough in Boston by this
time to furnish type by herself, and one

present, with vigilance, caution and stolidity.
Stolidity. indeed, is generally her most sal
