Whera Steel Ia nrade q.

The general aspect of the interior of q
converting house at night is at once
startling and grandly impressive. Here
heat, fame and liquid metal are ever
present; locomotives whistle and puff,
dragging with clatter and clang huge
ladies of molten iron; the lurid light,
flashing and flaming, that eliminates
the scene, throws shadows so intensely
black that they suggest the "black fire"
of Milton, for in such a place it is i'm
possible for a shadow to be cool; half
naked, muscular men, begrimed with
sweat and dust, fit about; clouds Of
steam arise from attempts to cool in
some degree the roasting earth of the
floor; converters roar, vibrate and vomit
flames mingled with splashes of metal
from their white hot throats; at inter
walls the scorching air is filed with a
rain of coruscating burning iron.
Ingot molds lift mouths parched with
a thirst that can only be appeased for q
short time by streams of liquid steel that
run gurgling into them; the stalwart
cranes rise, swing and fall, loading scores
of tons of red hot steel upon cars of iron;
all these conditions and circumstances
combine to make an igneous total more
suggestive of the realms of Pluto than
any other in the whole range of metal
lurgic arts.-W. r. Durfee in Popular
Science Monthly.

REMARKABLE CURE BY WEDB'S HEMONY.

Los ANGELES
DIR. @. n. WEBB:
Dear sir-I wish, for the benefit of sufferers
with rheumatism or stomach troubles, to sub
scribe the following: 1t has been my misfor-
tune to be sufferer with rheumatism at diff
ferent periods of my. life, two attacks lasting
nearly two years each.
About four months ago was prostrated with
an aggravated case of infammatory rheuma.
tism in my knees, hands, wrists, etc. Also had
sciatica in my right thigh and some pains in
my back. After seven weeks in bed, with
prospect of as many months before me, a
friend recommended your H@mony. I pro-
cured bottle, and after taking six teaspoon
fuls, or six doses, in three days, 1 was able to
go down town on a pair OF crutches. In
weeks time the crutches were put aside, and
today am enjoying my usual good health,
with no pains or soreness.
I have suffered for years with dyspepsia,
water brash, sour stomach, etc., and to my sur
prise and delight, after four bottles of H@mony,
/ am entirely cured, and can eat as heartily as
when a child, and am not distressed thereby.
1 cannot say too much for H@mony. Very
truly yours, E.B. BEECHRR.

Things Money Cannot Buy.

How much the happiness of individual
lives is made up of priceless things, un-
salable in the coin of the land, yet found
quickly when the heart of the searcher
honestly desires them! Many of these
real treasures are qualities that simply
diffuse themselves through the moral
and mental atmosphere, and are some
times little valued, because they seem
too vaporous and too Elusive to be prac-
tically grasped but they are genuine
possessions and won by heart service.
Who does not rejoice to have an hon.
orable name-not necessarily distin-
guished name, but a clean one2 Truly,
pride in such an Inheritance, which can
not be bought, is justifable if with it
there are mingled feeling of humility
and desire to do ones own part to
transmit the name as unsullied as it has
been bestowed. What makes home love
dearer and sweeter than all else, and
treasured while life lasts. Not the tables
and chairs, not the delicacy of porcelain
or the aesthetic beauty which the loom
achieves.
These minister to the comfort, taste
and artistic nature; but beyond these
there is something which ministers to
the heart and soul, clarifying plain sur
roundings and homely details-some-
thing Elusive to measure or weight, yet
potent to guide, to comfort and to help.
What is this but the sympathy, the
trust, the spirit Of sacrifice, the gentle
ness, the faith, the readiness to do and
to bear, which, blended together, make
the chain that binds us to our homes?--

NAVAL CONSTRUCTION.
The Extraordinary Departure That the United
States Has Taken

The extraordinary departure which the
ton since 1881. when it possessed not single
modern ship, is sufficiently remarkable to
those familiar with all the steps by which it
has been accomplished; and 10 foreigners
unaccustOmed to American push and energy
it seems hardly comprehensive. The lack
OF interest in naval development in the fif-
teen years following the war permitted the
fleet to fall into condition Of decrepitude
and decay that left the United States COM
pietely out of the list of naval powers.
When the popular demand for recOnstruc-
uOn OF the navy began TO aIiSe, shortly after
TINS period. there seemed to be no way to
meet IT, Information as TO progress abroad
was scanty. and naval ship-buiding was APP
parently lost art in this country. There
mad been time, many years before, when
our designers and constructors led the
world. But that time had long since past,
and meanwhile naval architecture had
taken such enormous strides that the expert
OF thirty years before was only half
equipped for the work Of tile period. From
this slough the navy was first eXtricated by
the commencement, in 1888, OF four steel
vessels, the Chicago, Boston, Atlanta and
Dolphin. They were in every sense expert
mental-in their design, in the material of
construction, and in tbs mechanics who
were employed on them. 1t was new work
from the ground up. That they were carried
TO complete success, and that they fairly
represented the progress of ship-building of
the period, though no. in advance of it, are
facts remarkably credtable 10 all who had
a hand in their cOnstructiOn.-FrOm "Our
New War ships" by Secretary Tracy, in

and windows of the houses appear to be
choked with silt and seaweed. While on
this subject says CasselPs Family Maya
zine, we may mention that the remarkable
ruins OF Zimbabye, which have been dis
covered in Masbonaland, are to be explored
by Theodore Bent, with the aid of the Royal
Geographical So iety. Great progress has
been made Ia unearthing the Romano
British town of S!lchester, near Reading The
site covers 100 acres, and is situated on the
Strathfeidsaye estate of the Duke of Well
ington. Walls, gates, streets. baths and
private houses have been laid bare and a
rich collection of pottery, implements and
coins have been made. Among these are
an iron carpenters-plane and blackSmith's
tools. Some of the edge tools are still keen
enough to work with. A piece Of tile ret aims
the imprint of a baby's foot and another
that OF a shoe or sandal with springs in the
sole. The pottery ranges from coarse cook
ing vessels to artistic ware; the iron work

The War of Newspapers.

The competition between New York news
papers is now so keen as to preclude the
slightest possibility of profits for most Of
them. Competition does not couiine itself
to the issue of enormous illustrated maya
zines on Sundays. That is something
familiar enough among the newspapers of
other cities More destructive of profits is
the cutting Of rates on advertisements. This
was bad enough before the two new papers
started, and it is worse now. All the papers
print great quantities of advertising matter
but there isn't much money in it. An ad-
vertising agent tells me that one Of the
very best known daiiieS recently printed
a reading notice over column in
length with several cuts. making the cuts
itself, for twenty-five dollars. Prompt
upon the heels of the publication came a
whole swarm Of agentS-it used to be the
rule IN New York that the best papers did
not solicit advertising, but that don't go
now, One would print it for $500, another
for S175, and so on. When S25 was sug-
gested they all wited except one, who Of
fered to print it for nothing if any decent
amount of advertising at regular rates
would be promised later on.
The advertising bOuanZas in New York
at present are the monthly magazines aud
such papers as the Evening Post, which
have held alOOf from the scramble after big
ness and pl0d along in the old-fashioned
way with their old clientage.
