genial disposition and was general
favorite among the train boys. He

WHEN STEAMERS SAIL.
Why Ocean steamships Usually Leave {
Wednesdays and saturdays.

Why Ocean Steamships Usually Leave on
Wednesdays and saturdays.
A correspondent writing to the New
York Tribune asks the following ques-
ton:
''Can you tell me why it is that with
at least ten steamers per week leaving
this port for Europe the only days, SO
far as have been able to learn, when
mail is taken are on Wednesdays and
Saturdays. In other words, why is it
that all the lines send their vessels on
these days, SO that there are sometimes
five or six steamers leave the same day,
and no more till the following Wednos-
day or Saturday? 1t would certainly
be great convenience, and it seems
very strange that it was not so
arranged, to have steamers for Europe
leave every day in the week, or at least
on Mondays and Thursdays as well as
on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
81 hope you can give me some expla-
nation of the present strange arrange
ment of sailings."
The explanation is briefly as follows:
II is the transportation of cargoes
which has to be most considered in the
arrangement of a steamship schedule.
Experience has proved that Wednes-
days and Saturdays are the most ad-
vantageous days for sailings, a day in
the middle of the week and the last
day. All large lines now run on a four
weeks schedule. A ship leaving New
York on Monday would not be able
to receive and store cargo the
day before sailing Tuesday would
give her only one day before sailing for
the reception Of cargo. In Short the
object is to get the day of sailing on
both ends of the line us far away from
the previous Sunday as possible, and
Wednesdays and Saturdays have been
found the best days for sailings,

MEN WHO WEAR CORSETS.
Moro of Them Than the Public Has Hn
Idoa OF, Says n DeaIer.


Idea OF. Says n Dealer.
A good-looliing young man who
dropped his cane on Sixth avenue few
evenings since, evidently experienced
great difficulty in STOPPING to pick il up.
THAT fellow wears corsets," remarked
gentleman. Inquiry at a store where
such things arc sold, says the NewYo ork
News, showed that the gentleman's re-
mark was probably true. "a largo
number of young men in this city wear
corsets," said the clerk in charge of that
department "Indecd, you have not the
slightest idea how many wear them.
They are worn for various purposes.
Stout men wear them to reduce corpu-
lency, stoop-shouldered men so that
they will walk erect and widen their
chests, and other men in the hope that
they will thus gain q handsome figure.
Mems corsets can be had from three
to twenty-five dollars, according to the
means and inclination Of the purchaser.
They are made of the same material,
except that whalebonc is substituted
for steel, as n womans corset, but are
somewhat different in shape, being like
n ten-inch belt curved to fit over the
hips. They lace in the back and are
frightened in front by means of elastic
bands. They are much easier than
braces, and hence are more popular.
Indeed, believe, it is only a question
| OF few years when corsets will be
] commonly worn by men" -

Why Manilln Is Behind.

Manila is one of the most important
ports in the Philippine islands, but
strange to say, is one day behind all
other places of its size in the world,
says the st. Louis Republic. This GU
rious fact is accounted for in this way:
Although the Philippine islands lie near
the Asiatic coast, they were discovered
by Spaniards who sailed from America.
When they crossed the magic line
where Sunday suddenly changes into
Monday, these fiery dons of proud Cas-
tilian ancestors did not revise their
calendar. When told of this years
later, when informed that their mode of
reckoning time was not up to modern
notions, they only said that that was SO
much the worse for modern notions.
Anyhow, the fact remains that these
Philippine islanders keep plodding along
one day behind all the rest of the
world, which recllons time by the new
style.
