ships may go and come and the nature

saying that he who ventures upon the
ocean mas but plank between himself

OF the early navigators The .fireproof''
marine 1abrics have been weighed in the
balance of actual test and found wanting,
and the unsuitable" ships have gone to

heads with them.
Many of the picturesque features of the
ocean nave vanished, and along with them

hotel.
But the passenger who sees in the
bronZed and quiet countenance of his skip
per no trace of anxiety nor hint of the
vigil which began when the lines were
cast off, and who wishes to appreciate the
qualities of the man on whose Judgment
and skill so much depends, should go on

shower of sparks whirling to leeward from

The horizon is only a biscuits throw

The eye of the lookout strives in vain to

waters dashing against the bow. Suddenly
there is a faint CLEAN of light directly
ahead. 1t requires but a moment to de-

the silent and watchful figure on the
bridge. There is no time for deliberations
The thought, decision and action must
come at once if disaster is to be avoided.
For one brief instant the vessel looks
death in the face, and the next grazes it as

A gentleman who is now general super
intendent of great railroad began life by
trying to practice law in Missouri vii
lage. One of his first cases was before his
father who was justice of the peace.
After n stormy wrangle between the young
attorney and his adversary. the old gentle
man decided the case against his sons
client. The young man gave vent to some
expressions of indignation, gathered up his
books and started to leave the room. His
father pushed his specs on to his forehead
and began mildly to lecture him, saying:
Young man, do you expect to make
your living practicing law"
The son, who had by this time reached
the door, shouted back, as he retired from
the field:
Not before such blamed fool court as
this"
He abandoned the law and engaged in
railroading with great success. - Green

1T CONTAINS NO POISON.

This is the distinguishing
mark of Reid's German Cough
and Kidney Cure. This is a
greater thing to boast of than
would at first appear to the
reader unacquainted with what
are called standard remedies.
Most of these contain opium in
some form or other and conse-
quently must be used with the
greatest caution. In case, for
instance, Of a severe attack of
Group the mother is tortured by
anxiety lest having rescued the
child from the disease it may
fall a victim to the remedy.
Nothing of this kind is to be
feared with Reid's German
Cough and Kidney Cure. There
is no danger from an over dose.
Where the malady is acute and
the danger imminent, it can be
given in as large doses as may
be necessary to give relief. A
whole bottle full can be taken
if the case requires il, not only
without danger, but with a pos
tive benefit. This fact that it
contains no poison tells strong
ly in favor of this popular med
icine.

Bathinr suits.

Surah silk Of thick quality and broadly
twilled is now in great favor for bathing
suits. It Is claimed chat it does not retain
as much water as the flannel suits, and
that it does not cling so closely to the
figure. Black and navy blue are the colors
most used, though there are fancifuI swim
ming suits of white surah, light blue, pale
yellow, and also Of mHRve trimmed with
white silk. The more modest. dark suits
are made with a yoke waist and drawersi s
one, cut in continuous pieces or attached
TO the same belt; a separate skirt is then
buttoned on this belt. The highnecked
waist has a turnover collar in sailor shape,
and a cravat of the silk to be knotted by
the wearer. The drawers fall below the
knee and are quite wide, with rubber Ia.
the hem to draw them into shape. Short
sleeves, reaching only to the elbows, are
most liked and are always used by swim
mers. The skirt is gathered evenly all
around and trimmed with many rows of
braid. White silk tapeslike laeing strings
Is set in border rows nHsom Of the pretty
blue and black surah suits, and the bodice
has the collar rolled away low to show q
sailor shirt front of white silk. r
Wiry stiff oheviots Of. coarse quality are
preferred to the 1annels formerly used for
bathing dresses. They arc made with the.
princess garment combining waist and
knickerbockers, and q short skirt Is belt
ed on. III,
Jersey weoi suits do not shrink and are
commended at the best houses. The waist
and skirt are In piece in these dresses,
and the skirt Is made much fuller than
those formerly seen. The drawers are close
atting, like equestrian tights, and have
stockings woven with them-Harper'e
