ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
NEW YORK. March 1.-THE Seaboord for
the current week says that Austin Corbin will
establish the finest transatlantic steamship line
between this country and Europe by building
eight IL 000-ton steel all-American steamships
capable of attaining speed of "a miles an
hour to run from Montauk. L. L, to Milford
Haven, England, in five days. A reporter in

authorized such a publication.
The article in Sedbourd sets forth that moth
ing has hitherto stood in the way of q con-
summation of this scheme except the inability
of Americans to run the ships as cheaply as do
the English. The passage of the postal subsidy
bill, which grants 81 a mile to irst-class ships,
removes that disability from American enter
prises. Within two years time it is believed
that the first four ships of this line will be in
commission, and they will he the finest ships
ever built in the world. the aggregate cost, it

Hints to GunnerS.

More than half the accidents
which usually shock the world at
this time of year might be pre-,
vented by one simple rule: Always
earry the gun so that; if discharged,
Its contents cannot possibly injure
any companion. This not only
means that under no circumstances
should a gun be pointed at any
body but also implies that it should
be carried in such position that
even should its bearer stumble and
the trigger of the gun be pulled
accidentally, the mishap could
harm no one. This result is
tissually secured by holding the
gun with barrels pointing down
ward and forward. When the gun
is thus carried it should be carried
at half cock, care being taken to
protect the trigger or hammer
from catching in any obstacle.
This method of handling the gun
would forbid resting the gun in a
horizontal position when 1t is not
being used, or holding it by the
barrel with the butt farthest away.
In transporting breech-loaders
any considerable distance it Is al
ways we'll to remove the cartridge,
even if the parts are not taken to
peices, and in case of muzzle-load-
ING guns the caps should be remov-
ed and the nipples should be well
cleansed. For that matter, gun
which is not in use should be kept
perfectly clean as we'll as dry, and
never allowed to stand dirty or
powder -b1ackened for even few
hours, if it is possible to prevent
such carelessness.
These rules are neither difficult
to understand nor to remember,
and yet they are violated constant
ly by many otherwise sensible men,
who should know better. That
any but a perfect novice should
scorn attention to such details on
the ground that they are trivial, IS
almost beyond comprehension. 1t
is true that in nine times out of ten
neglect to comply with such
precautions may not bring down
any serious consequence; but the
tenth time may show their import
ance. A careful attention to the
safety of others is practically the
only thing which prompts ex.
perienced rifemen to preserve
these precautions, and if they had
not already been formulated they
would suggest themselves to any
sportsman of experience and a due
regard for the welfare Of those
around him.

The light that illunines her eyes.

And in pies her successes are few;
And i'll she fares, when soup she prepares,
For she's sure to get into stew.
