That Little Tickling

In your throat. which makes you
cough once in a while and keeps you
constantly clearing your throat, arises
from catarrh, and as catarrh is con-
stitutional disease the ordinary cough
medicines all fail to hit the spot. What
you need is constitutional remedy like
Hoods Sarsaparilla, MANY people who
have taken this medicine for scrofula,
dyspepsia. loss of appetite, and other
troubles have been surprised that il
should cure this troublesome cough.
But to know the actual cause of the
cough is to solve the mystery. Many
cases of consumption can be traced back
to the neglect of some such slight af-
lection as this. Consumption can be
controlled in its early stages, and the
effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla in purify
ing the blood, building up the general
health, and expelling the scrofulous
faint which is the cause of catarrh and
consumption. has restored to perfect
health many persons on whom this
dreaded disease seemed to have firm

JOLIET, Ill, Dec. 5.-One of the most
distressing calamities that have ever
befallen Joliet occurred at the works OF
the Joliet Steel Company in this city

death Of nine men and the wounding of
nine others. The cause was the giving

huge blast furnace known as No 2, and
the consequent collapsing Of the great
20O-ton retort. The blast had been
blown out, and the men were at work
on the inside taking out the brick lin

accident occurred. The killed are:
Gus Loosa, Nels Larson, John Peterson,

weekly review of trade says that strin-

disturbance, is now almost the
only remaining cause. In domestic
affairs there has been a distinct
improvement in the disposition Of
banks and money-lenders to give
necessary support to legitimate bust
ness, curtailing speculative advances as
far as possible, but the volume of trade
is still surprisingly heavy and the re-

larger than ever before at this season.

the mooring cable sfloat and enables you
to pick it up on needing again.
The msinsail and iib are now set and
we are brought face to face with the
question of how to sail the boat. for her
sails are tapping and she is bound 10 90
somewhere 1t is for the man at the
helm to decide. The moorings being
cast of and the boat being head to the
wind before the sails begin to draw, she
at once begins TO make sternway; that
10, TO drift astern. In steering, the flrst
thing is to remember that the starbosrd
side of the boat is the right hand side
looking toward the bow, and the port
side is on the left hand. When the wind
blows over the starboard, while the boat
is going ahead, she is said to be on the
starboard tack, and visa versa, II the
wind is on the port side.
Now, the boat having sternway on,
and II being necessary in order to get
Roadway to bring the wind on one side
or the other, You put the rudder or heiu
over on the side opposite to that on
which you wish the wind; IL you wish
the wind to come over the starboard, put
the helm to port and keep 1t there until
she falls of to port and the sails nil.
But just as soon as she begins to feel the
impulse and goes ahead. then meet her,
as the saying is, or right the helm; you
then have control of her and can make
her do as you like. Remember 10 sit on
the wirdward side of the boat when
steering. This is important, as you will
find from experience. Another point
that is of the first Importance is to keep
your weather eye open " which means
to keep a constant watch in the quarter
from which the wind is blowing, no
matter how light the wind is blowing, no
may at any moment come that way uu-
expectedly and oapsize the boat. AS
socn as you are fairly under way, see
that the haliards aud sheets are neatly
coiled, running end beng up TO avoid
snarling.
When lacking or sailing with the wind
on the side aud both sails set, hold the
jib sheet in your hand, easing the strain
by passing 1t turn around elect, but
in such q way that in an instant you can
let the sail fly; this eases the pressure on
the forward part and allows the bow to
turn toward the wind, while you aid the
movement by putting the helm down or
to leeward. The pressure of the wind
being thus reduced the boat rights II IN
danger of capsizing. This maneuver Is
called luffing. But watch the boat care
fully, and the instant the strength OF the
puff has passed keep her of again and I'LL
the sail or she will lose headwsY, which

managed can go q long time under
single-reefed mnipsail and jib. 1 think
there is no prettier sailing than when 1t
blows just hard enough to carry that
canvas in small sloop.
When 1t comes time to reef bring the
boathead to the wind and lower the Jib
first, then the main sail as far as you
propose to reef it. Before you tie
single reef point, draw the two ear
rings tight to the boom, so as to stretch
the foot of the sail firmly. The ear
rings are ropes that pass through eyelet
holes in the leech and the luff of the sail
at the ends OF each row of reef points.
This is the important matter In reefing.
After this is done 1t is comparatively
easy to make fast the reef points. Lay
the slack of the sail as smoothly a.
possible, so as not TO catch the wind and
by no means tie the reef points with
granny or bow-knots, but invariably with
q hard knot. Having taken in the reef
moist tho gah well up, and set the iib
again IL you propose to carry it and keep
away on your course.
When you return to the moorIng get
out on the boat-hook and stand by the
jib haliards and down haul. Your object
is to grapple the ring in the top of the

bring IL on board. This Is easier said
than done, for 1t requires nice caloula-
of the speed of the boat and quick eye
and hand in managing the boat-hook,
especially if you are alone in the boat.
II cannot be done under full headway;
but you must go past the buoy; then
bring the head of the boat around hard
somely so as not to shake the sails and
not lose Roadway; haul down the jib and
let her glide head on up to the buoy Re
smart now i'll handling the boat-hook,
as you come within reach OF the beckett
or ring, of the buoy and haul it aboard,
II you miss it, you have got to get under

to practice this matter of picking up the
mooriugs, Try it in every breeze until
you succeed every time. know of no
better lesson in the art of boat sailing
than getting up to mooriug.

Nothing looks easier than making q
sailboat to one who knows very little
about it. There is no doubt that it is
great fun, but it is pretty dangerous
fun for all that who have not learned the
principles of boat sailing. Yachting &C.
cidents occur in ninety nine cases out of
a hundred, either from drunkenness or
from ignorance. Both can be prevented.
Like everything else worth doing,
boat sailing is an art; to do it we'll re-
quires practice; without these only fool
will be so rash as to undertake to handle
a boat. If the young reader will go with
me in my dingey to yonder little twenty
foot long sloop-rigged boat, perhaps
may be able to give him few points that
may be OF real use, at least l may show
him how important it is to know some
thing about seamanship even in handling
so small and simple rugged boat, and
now necessary it is to be cautious in SAIL
ing boat, especially before one has had
practice with an experienced hand.
She spread two sails, as you sea
mainsail and jib-and is, therefore,
sloop-rigged. In order to float in shoal
water she is shallow, and is said to draw
but little water. As the ballast Is there
fore not very low down she is made very
wide in order TO bear her sail well; in
other words, she has great breadth of
beam. But being so shallow, when she
has side wind she would be pressed
