A little book of essays which has
just been published would be very
pleasant reading but for the foot notes,
which arc very numerous, occurring
on nearly every page, and greatly ir-
ritating, we venture to say, to
the large majority of the read
ers. Few people, we believe,
like to be pulled up every few
moments by an asterisk or some SINH
lar sign, calling upon them 10 turn
their attention from the text TO some
simplifying or cognate matter at the
foot of the page. This sort of thing,
nevertheless, is on the increase, and it
is very characteristic of the time, with
its mania ION the part Of book writing
persons) for the elaborate and the pro
else. All dryasdust authors have been
given to this foible, which is nearly al
lied to vanity. A display of foot notes
is taken as implying learning and re
search. The authors information
the world isasked to observe-is SO ex-
tremely full that it cannot be contained
in the body of the work; it flows over
into the notes.
As if nine persons out of ten did not
find all annexation a borei Better,
they are Inclined to say, the vague
and ven the inexact 1t is not the
historian or the essayist with the foot
notes who attracts. Rather is attraction
found in the writer who goes straight
on, telling his story or weaving his
ideas with a directness which calls for
no corroborative or expanding notes.
The painstaking writer is mot in it"
with him who is content simply to be
picturesque, and does notseek to Dol
ster up his work with extraneous stuff.
There is printed matter-suoh as legal
lore-which of necessity claims the aid
of foot notes TO illustrate its obscurity
or suggest qualifications. But this
may well be left to the small number
who appreciate it. The unsophisticat-
ed, unregenerate man has q fondness,
and tho unfettered flow of thought
the entire absence of all foot notes
whatsoever.-London Globe.

The keel is laid down on blocks four
or five feet apart, which form a slope
toward tho water so that the hull may
glide down easily when the time for
launching comes. 1t is not a keel at
all, in the sense that the word was
formerly used. A modern ship has a
smooth bottom without any projecting
ridge or break to the curve of her
sides; il is simply tho central series of
plates, from which an inner keel is
built up like an enormous backbone,
and 10 this the ribs arc attached. The
metal is delivered at the yard in the
shape of anglo iron or angle steel, the
latter being the material which would
be used in a ship of tho class we have
in mind. Heated to a white heat the
angle bars are drawn out of tho furnace
into a perfectly level iron floor, upon
which they arc bent to the needed
curve, and that which has been a line
of ink in the original drawing, a
chalk mark on the floor of the mold
loft, ard II groove in tho surface of the
"sCrivc board" is now embodied in the
heavy rib of the ship. The bending
is done thus: The metal floor is per-
forated with thousands of holes, into
which iron pegs are inserted until
they form the curvature required, and
tho long. pliable bar of steel is pressed
against them till it corresponds exactly
with the line exhibited in the ''scrive
board" which is always in sight OF
the workman for guidance and COM
parison. In handling the metal the
men use pitchforks, and, with the
prongs inserted in the holes, they get
purchase enough TO make the bar
yield if it bends upward a hammer is
used upon it. Each rib has, of course,
to be duplicated with the utmost pro
cision in order that it shall be the same
on both sides of the ship, and each,
after it hus cooled, is laid upon the
SERVE board" and compared with the
lines thereon, every variation being
corrected before it is passed. Having
already been punched for rivets, 1t is
then married. with a chisel to show
where RIB bands, striugers and deck
beams arc to fit into it-Scribner's

s~ational murder cases is now being con.

Henry Hatch. While there he gave the
old gentleman $50, and alter concluding
his visit, he returned to Denver Sunday
morning. Monday morning he left for
Omaha, thence to Chicago, Goshen, Ind.
and Birmingham, Mich. On Sunday
morning, the day young Hatch returned
to Denver, the body of his uncle was
found in his cabin by a couple of children
OF a neighboring ranchman, with his
brains knocked out and his skull beaten
to a Jelly. As no one was known to have
visited the old gentleman except his
nephew, suspicion pointed to him and he
was arrested at Birmingham and returned
to Burlington yesterday morning, charged
with the murder OF his uncle.

days. The defense is being'conductod by

couIdn,t Iteat the Yankee.

While the United States ship Nipsic
and several men-of-war of different
nations were anchored near each other
in the harbor of Montevideo, the crew
Of a Dutch man-of-war which was
moored near Uncle Sans ship entered
into liveliest competitive drill and did
their utmost TO beat the time made by
the American boys in shining masts
up and down and crossing yards.
After some very determined racing, in
which the Americans had slightly laid
over their persistent competitors, one
of the Dutchmen, who had succeeded
in crossing the mainroyal yard a few
seconds astern of the time made by
the Nipsic, gave a loud shout, which
drew the attention of every ship in the
harbor, and shining up the long pole
to the truck, which is a circular piece
of wood about the size of a dinner
plate fixed at the very top of the mast
and used for the purpose of hosting
the flags, he drew himself up and
stood on his head on the truck, and
twirled his legs around as if to chal-
lenge and deride the possibility of any
seaman daring to rival him in hat
line of business, and after maintain
ing his position for almost a minute he

where he was received by a cheer that
could be heard all over the city of
Montevideo. The rousing cheer had
an instantaneous effect upon the tenn
per OF Jack Peterson, the curly head
ed captain of the Nipsic's foretop,
who, after declaring that no square
headed Dutchman under the sun could
get ahead of him, rushed up to the
main truck, and in attempting to
stand on his head, which he had never
before attempted to do, he instantly
ovcrbalanced and fell a distance of $50
feet into the water, accidentally going
in feet first, after the of an
expert diver. The somerset and
fail were entirely accidental, and
looked from a distance like q feat of
great skill. Jack was at once pulled
aboard the ship, and before he had
fully recovered his breath he jumped
OF the rail, and shaking his c1enched
fist in the direction of the Hollander,
he shouted Mt the top OF his voice:

What can be done or attempted to
check the dangerous and over spread
ing tendency In France to drown dull
care or provoke pleasurable recrea-
tons of an ephemeral kind by the use
Of morphine is a question that has
been frequently raised of late, and to
which no satisfactory answer has been
found. Statistics On hand point to
the frightful consequences Of tho
deplorable abuse of the narcotic in
all classes Of society, and sinister
prophecies Of what the coming gener-
alton will be, If the evil is not checked,
are not wanting. Medical celebrities,
consulted on the matter, however,
shake their heads with the remark
that 1t Is next to impossible to cure
confirmed morphia maniacs Of their
passion, and that II they are for a pc
riod placed under treatment In a mai
son dc sante they are nosooner out of 1t
than they return with redoubled eager
ness to their former habits. It is
suggested thnt greater restrictions
than at present exist might be placed
on the sole Of morphia, and notably
that a DOCTORS prescription for a GER
tain quantity Of the drug should never
be available, save on one occasion, un-
less 1t be signed and dated afresh by the
medical man. The matter Is certainly
one that demands attention and study,
for, as q French paper remarks, the
total number OF suicides in France Is
relatively small, compared with that
of persons who succumb to tho abuse
of morphia. London Standard.

The Views of IA Southern Politician.
RICHMOND, May ll.-W. l.. Royal, a
prominent politician, said in an interview:
IF the voters of this district should think
me worthy Of a seat in Congress, my aim
will be the Acknowledgement of the negro.
No white man IN the south would for
a moment entertain a proposition to re
inslave the negro, or treat him unfairly in
respect TO his rights of person or property;
but all of us know that it was a cruel
piece of injustice TO us to put the ballot
into his hands, in his present half civil
lied state. All that is necessary is the
repeal Of the Fifteenth Amendment, and
| believe there is a prospect of its repeal.
The south has Il large vote in the cleo
toral college aud representation in con-
gress based N negroes as voters. The
nurthcIners think we don't let him vote
as he wishes. and thus &c. unfair votes in
both those bodies. Well, let us give up
that part of our electoral vote and these
representatives in consideration of the
ropeal Of tho Fifteenth Amendment.
