Eary part Of the equipment is the gang
plank, which rests on the outside walk and
has one end on shore A block and tackle
to the mast Or flag pole viii enable this to
be easily lowered into place, although if
the flag pole be used it IS a good idea to
have a shroud run down to the gunwele.
This gangplank should not be less than
twenty-five feet long, and care must be
taken to rest it on the walk against brace
put in for that purpose, rs it otherwise
may break in the cabin wall It should be
wide enough 20 give persons using 1t =
sense of security, and on one side battenS
should be nailed across, as these, when the
plank is set at q sharp incline, make 10
much easier to cross. When the house
boat is moored by a high bank the gang
plank may rest on the roof.
The roof of the house may be provided
with one or two seats. There must be q
stair at one end of the boat leading up to
it, and it does no harm to have side rope
attached 70 a short post above. This place
is exceedingly pleasant, especially in the
evening, and as it is the largest fioor-so
to speak-on board it IS generally made
full use of for lounging purposes. The
side posts of the house may be continued
up, or, better yet sockets may be fastened
to them. In these poles may be placed, to
which an awning is made fast. This avn
ing adds greatly TO the pleasure of those
on board when the weat her Is fine and the
wind does not blow too hard, but it will be
found good plan if you desire to stretch
IL TO have two stout posts. one at the bow
and the other at the stern, 10 which the
ridge rope may be made fast. II the side
posts are strong enough hammocks may
De strung to them.
Gf course no one would have house
boat without at least one row boat, and
three for fair sized party will not be
found too many. Select, il possible, fo1
your summer trip river or lake in which
there is fair fishing, SO that the men
OF the party may hsTe something to do.
Children on a house boat are mistake
The confinement IS irksoms to them. and
the facilities for falling into the water are
altogether too great. But for a young
couple and three or four of their friends
there Is no fashion Of spending the summer
more enjoyable than this. The party can
move down the river or about the lake at
will they have many Of the comforts Of
home, and the life Is of free and easy sort,
which rests one wonderfully sfter the
winter months. ALFRED BALCH

Sam Jones Makes Thousand Converts.
The greatest meeting that has ever
been held in Richmond. and probably in
the country, was the oue conducted by
the Rev. Sam Jones. 1t was for men
only.
The Tabernacle seats II 900 persons
Every seat was taken, and not less than
1000 stood up. On the outside Of the
structure We're probably 1 600 more, and
hundreds went away when they found
they could not get seats. Not less than
14,O00 or 10000 men came TO hear the
preacher
The sermon had a powerful effect upon
the congregation. Atits close Mr.. Jones
asked all who would promise to live bet
ter lives and give up sinful habits to
stand up. Not less than 10000 men
arose. 1t was a sight never seen here.
The preacher then asked al who were
moi church members and VINO wanted to
become Christians to come MP and shake
his hand. Hundreds pressed forward
with tears il their eyes. Not nearly all
could get to the preacher. as the crowd
was SO dense. It IS estimated that not
less than 1000 persons were converted,
among them many solid and substantial
business men. Some Of them were peo-
pie who had not before heard Mr.. Jones,
and who had ridiculed his style Of preach
ing.-CoT. Norfolk Firginian.

travellers who have looked upon it found
it more alluring than the ghostlike Jung
frau in Switzerland, mere overwhelming
than the giant peaks of the Andes.
Mount Shasta has an elevation of "A, 400
feet It's summit is continually covered
with snow, being frozen solid in glistening
white. It's ascent is difficult and tedious,
but not dangerous. To see it properly an
hour or a day is nothing. 1t takes time to
become acquainted with the great Butte.
One should study it bit by bit, day after
day, and perhaps after weeks of such inter-
course something of its awful sublimity
would dawn upon the mind. The average
tourist unaccustomed to travel in mount
ainous countries has but a faint idea of the
vast dimensions of q mountain ike Shasta,
so the accompanying chart may serve to
convey some feeble notion of the enormous
magnitudes to be found thereabouts.
In his latest story the Poet of the Sierras
alludes to the glory Of the Pacific coast
thus:
Il lifted my eyes and looked away to the
south. Mount Shasta was before me. For.
the first time now looked upon the mount
ain in whose shadows so many tragedies
were to be enacted; the most comely and
perfect peak in America. Above the woods,
above the clouds, above the earth, it looked
like the first approach Of land to another

Strange Misfortune BefaIls One Of the
Grandest of "a erican Mountains.
The recent announcement of the falling
in of the greet peak of the majestic Mount
Shasta was received with sincere regret by
all lovers Of the grandly picturesque. No
mountain in the world is quite the equal
of this tremendous pile, which starts up
sudden and solitary from the heart of the
great black forests of north California.
Bret Harte and Joaquin Miller have made
it the scene and subject for some of their
most exquisite word painting, and eastern
