Curiosities of Navigation.

It would be worse than useless to en-
deavor to trace marine architecture to
its original inception. The Egyptians
and the Phenicians are joint claimants
for the honor of the invention of water
craft, but it is highly probable that they
originated at widely separated points at
about the same time. Grecian fable
makes Pyrrhon the discoverer of the art
of bending planks by fire so that they
could be advantageously used in ship
building. The beakhead, rudder and
anchor are claimed by the Egyptians.
Crete claims the invention of masts,
crossyards and other minor nautical de-
vices. Isis, queen Of Egypt, in the year
of the world 1880 is said to have first
taught the use of sails.
The Emperor Julian caused medals to
be struck in her honor showing her
seated upon the PROV of ship. Jason
built the first "long Ship" prior to his
time all ships were as round as tubs.
Copper and brass nails and fastenings in
shipbuilding were substituted for iron at
about the time of Nero. The first sails
used were made of the skins Of animals.
Usons, Phenician, is represented as
being the first person to venture the use
of canoe followed from tree trunk.

Excuse Yourself Graciously.

Every lady has right to refuse her
self to friends when sickness, WEAKNESS
or some domestic duty makes it difficult,
impossible perhaps, to be at the time a
gracious and courteous hostess. The
message of refusal, however, can be so
worded that no person of any common
sense or Judgment could feel offended
"Mrs. Brown is engaged" is abrupt and
not to be recommended, but there are
many ways of making it more gracious.
"Mrs. Brown cannot receive today" is
simple, truthful and should offend no
one, as, if the maid delivers the message
at the door to each and all alike, it is
evident that no slight is intended.
Many ladies now have one day in the
week when they are sat home" This
arrangement becomes necessary in large
cities where ones circle of acquaintance
is extensive and calling is a matter of
ceremony. But the fact that lady sets
apart one day to receive friends is no ex-
cuse for instructing the maid to tell an
untruth to those who for some reason
call on another day, but it is reason
why those who call out of season have
no right to be offended when they are
told that MRS. Brown is not receiving"

Journal.

Cruel Treatment of Clair islanders.

LONDON, March 10.-The Inhabitants of
Clair Island, on County Mayo, Ireland,
mostly fishermen and miserably poor, re
sisted bailiffs sent to sieze their property
by creditors. The magistrate at the near
est town on the mainland, Lewisburg,
summoned them to appear for resisting the
officer. After hearing testimony he ordered
the case TO be heard next day in Westport,
thirteen miles away. Having no money to
pay for conyeyances, the islanders
were forced TO walk tho entire distance
that night, and being poorly clad, suffered
severely from the prevailing gale. Many
would have persisted had it not been for
the kind hearted villagers, and some Of
the women were unable to reach Wesport.
The magistrate, when the case was
called, learning the latter fact was in
censed at what he termed the disrespect
of the law. After long lecture, in which
the great goodness of the crown and
how it tempered justice with mercy
had been delivered by the magistrate,
the islanders, who pleaded guilty, were
ordered liberated if they gave bail for good
behavior. AS they had no friends in West
point and nothing of value of their own,
bonds were not furnished. There is much
indignation throughout the country at the
action of the magistrate.

Preparing to Defend Behring Sea.

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-General Eos
ter, OF the state department, who is assist
ing the President in the Behrlng sea nego-
tiations, had a long conference at the navy
department this afternoon with Secretary
Tracy and Commodore Ramsey, chief of
the bureau of navigation. The conference,
1t is thought related to consideration of the
course to be pursued by the navy in enforc-
ing the contention of this government that
pelagic sealing in the Behring sea must be
wholly suspended pending the settlement
of the controversy by arbitration. If
Great Britain declines the proposition for
renewal of the modus vlvendi, this gov
eminent will no doubt send all it's available
vessels to Behring sea soon enough, if pos
sible, to control its approaches and prevent
the entrance OF all sailing vessels, American
as well as others. The vessels available
for this service are the Charleston,
Baltimore and Ranger at San Francisco.
