Speed in Ocean Trav.1.

'The great drawback, ;" said Mr.. Rick
ard, one of the agents of the Hamburg
American Packet company, ''to crossing
the ocean quicker than we do at present
is the expense of coal. More powerful
engines could be built which would in
crease the speed, bat these engines would
require so much more coal. The steam
ers of the Hamburg American Packet
company now consume about 210 to $50
tons of coal a day; if $50 tons were
needed daily, these steamers would be
run at loss, for, besides the cost of and
the valuable space required for the addi-
tional 100 or SO tons of coal, more en-
glneers, more stokers, ETC., would be
needed. But if we went to an unlimited
expense for the most powerful engines
IN the world the gain of time in crossing
the ocean would not be more than eight
or ten hours, so long as coal is used.
81 have great faith, however, in cleo
tricity some day or other taking the
place Of coal for the propulsion of ocean
steamers, and when that is brought
about they will be run much cheaper.
The weight of the coal does not make
the steamer slower; that has nothing to
do with it. Sometimes a weighted
steamer goes faster than one that is not
weighted, all depending upon the wind
and weather.
Steamers can never go as quick as
locomotives, because they have to con-
tend against water and air, whereas the
railroad cars have only air as a resist
ance. Assuming the maximum speed Of
locomotive to be about sixty miles an
hour over short distances, it may be said
that it goes three times as rapidly as a
steamer, although the average time made
by the fastest limited express train is
only twice the average time made by a
fast steamer Epoch.

The kitten win vouch for This.

One the seventh floor of the st. Cathe-
rine fats, at Fifty-third street and Madi-
son avenue, particularly pretty NAL
tese kitten has the good fortune to live.
Her favorite snOozing place is on the
seat of one of the windows overlooking
the court yard. This window happened
to be open for few minutes the other
morning, and the kitten, quite carried
away by the novelty of the idea, stepped
out upon the window ledge to take a
cats eye view of the yard below and the
surrounding country generally.
An instant later her paws slippo!
from under her upon a piece Of ice and
over she went. She fell trife of some
six stories and then landed feet fore
most just upon the extreme edge of the
roof of one of the Outbuildings. But so
terrific was the force with which she
landed there that she bounced from off
the roof like Il rubber ball, and after
this instant's respite continued on her
headlong journey toward the ground.
She landed ON her feet again, shook
herself for a moment just to see that
she was all there, and then giving vent
to faint yowl Of triumph, as one would
say, 'How's that for high!" picked her
way toward the house again with de-
Eghtful air of nonchalance and totally
oblivious to the fact that she has only
eight lives left to her credit.-New York

Of cigarettes, and certainly they are in
furious to young boys or to men If
smoked in excess; but most of those who
attack the cigarette habit have very lit
tie idea Of what they are talking about.
It should be remembered that the great
est smokers in the world-the Spaniards,
the Cubans. Spanish-Americans and the
Russians--use cigarettes far more freely
than cigars, and none of these nations
can be called unhealthy. People talk
about the injuriousness Of the paper, but
any physician will tell you that it has no

If you take a piece Of rice paper and

per indefinitely without experiencing the
smallest bad result. What makes cigar
cite smoking injurious is the fact that
the smoke is not retained in the mouth
and throat, but is taken into the lungs.
It is because the cigar smoker does not
understand this that he denounces Gig
arctic smoking as insipid. So it is If the
cigarette is smoked like a cigar, but
when the smoke is swallowed the effect

If you surprise the father of a family

till he is red in the face to raise his legs
without lifting his body, you may know
he Is endeavoring to work off his super
abundance Of avoirdupois, which inter
feres seriously with his cutting a grace

he will tell you if you did your skin
would not be disfigured with those black

woman who recently appealed to him
for advice, that she did not eat enough,
which fact he had reached because he
had observed how much she chewed her
lips.

Destructive floods were not confined
to the Ohio valley las, week, although
it is probable that the freshets there
and those reported from Arizona and
New York State are all due to the
same series of storms which have been
recently crossing the continent. The
situation out near the Pacific is GER
tainly very remarkable, since Yuma
lies in what is probably the most arid
region of the whole United States
The rains recently occurring in the
mountains near that town are almost
unprecedented. The trouble in the
Mohawk and upper Hudson, while
without a parallel. perhaps. in details,
is only what one might expect in any
year, when heavy rains and ice gorges
operate in combination. 1t has been
too mild for two or three winters past
to form much ice in those valleys, and
hence the easy discharge of swollen
streams in the spring has not recently
embarrassed as it is now.

Laughter in Public.

What is the reason one hears in public
places the loud voices of women so much
Oftener than men?
Women-thesel loud voiced ones-seem
to have the fancy that they cannot be
seen unless they are heard. And so they
can't-in their true character. If it were
not that theirwords and laughter fioated
out into space and above the hum of all
other voices they really might at some
time get mistaken for ladies. From
their looks no one would imagine for an
instant that they were common, i'll bred
and vulgar.
A quiet fash of intelligence from their
eyes, accompanied by an appreciative
smile, would really convince an onlooker
that possibly it was the forerunner of
the keenest wit. But no wit can ac-
company the loud guffaw that bursts
out at the slightest provocation; no wit
from the boisterous laughter, and no ap-
probation Of wit in others. Chicago

Ennch,a Classification

DR.. Van Dykes told this story; / am
reminded of a preacher who preached
from the text, "And EnOch was not" !"
He went on to explain that this text was
incomplete. "Now, brethren" said he,
''you may not know in what way Enoch
was not. To find this out, we must ex-
anime the text carefully in the light of
the context. Firstly, Enoch was not an
EpiscOpalian, because he walked with
God and did not dance. He was not a
Baptist, because he walked with God
and did not swim. He was not Pres
byterian, because the context tells us
that he walked with God at all, and he
was not Methodist, because we are
plainly told that God took him. New

ing was the consideration of increased

provide for the prompt movement and
handling of the crop. Mitchell and
Lee counties. Ga, will increase their
acreage to one-fourth over last year.
Thomas county will have twice the
number of acres. 1t is thought that
the entire crop of South Georgia will
be fully double that of 1890. Georgia
and Alabama had 2l 900 acres in mel.
ons last year. This season there will
se at least 10000 acres. South Caro-
lima shows a gain of nearly 90 per cent
over her 5000 acres of 1890 The

cinnatti roads carried $4,000 carloads
of melons last year. With 500 new
fruit cars they expect to double the
record this year.

Woman's Busy Tongue.
DISCUSSION AS To WHETHER SHE
SOMETIMES TALKS TOO MUCH.

That women talk more than men is
certain. That men converse better
than women is more certain still,
Very few women attain to that highest
form in conversation in which 80
many men have graduated with dis
tinctiOn. To talk is not to converse.
and, as a rule, women may be roughly
classed as mere chatterers. The yer,
best orator among women will not
equal the second best among men.
Nature, prejudice, training-all have
forbidden it. Nor do l think that.
every restriction being removed and
even prejudice overcome. women will
never excel in this line. 1t is not
their line. They are too nervous, too
excitable, too liable to be carried away
by the sentiment of the moment.
That they are well-meaning is beyond
a doubt, but their meaning is various
and uncontrolled. When saw that.
overcoming prejudice, they will not
succeed as public speakers, say a
great deal, for prejudice dies hard and
to kill it takes time.
NOT ALL CHATTERERs.
Of course, to declare all women mere
chatterers would be absurd. Yet it ia
the few, not the many, who must be
exempt from this. title. 1.-THE few"
belong to the salt of the earth, as far
the women are concerned-to the
clever ones, the deeply read, the
thoughtful. The many" to the less
deeply read-the light hearted, the
genial. There is a third class, certain

to find great moral support in thu
opening and shutting OF her fan, and
who is distracted ifthe tail of her gown
is not properly posed. We all know
this woman. AS a rule she is beautiful
to look at.
To be forever at high pressure, with
only high thoughts and high designs
to sustain one, to never condescend to
things of low estate, surely this is
eventually to know defeat.
How pleasant for change are the
trivial things of life, the light gayeties,
to exchange for the musty tome the
soft, smiling lip, the dainty touch, the
invitation to sit beside one on the low
satin lounge.
Girls who wish to make themselves
attractive, especially to the opposite
sex, sometimes talk too much, some
times too little. It would be diff

more at fault, but 1 should say the
one who talked too much. For men,

ike to hear the sound of their own
voices. The girl who will sit beside
them, quietly and sympathetically,
with one word thrown in for their
hundredth and that to the point, will
in the long run be esteemed by them
above all others. Therefore the girl
who, bent ON matrimonial designs
talks too much to her would-be lover,
is almost assured of failure.
