The Delm onico and the Plantation, for a
Wedding Cake.
The recent account in the Times Of an
English Wedding cake and shs sigh for its
absent richness attributed to an English
woman Waiting in this country has aroused
the patriotio indignation OF a New York
woman. 'English cooks" she writes,
may make their wedding cake in tiers;
that is a matter OF taste and custom. but I
know that no wedding cake OF which l have
ever eaton from a London baker, and !
have tasted a good many OF them IN . oon-
siderable residence over there. exoels those
which have been made here in New York IN
private Kitchens"
The writer incloses two receipts. The
first, she says. was ooaxed BY q we'll known
New York woman, now dead. from a Del
monioo chef in the days when the famous
caterer had his restaurant in Fourteenth
street. The second is an heirloom In her

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties Of a perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weaken
ing them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

construction will not Be departed from.
She will have double the strength OF the
Wetmore, and 800 tons Of steel and 100
tons of rivets will be used in her. She
will have four Scotch boilers and triple
expansion engine. and her average speed
will be sixteen knots, the Wetmore's only
having been twelve knots. So far fourteen
of her frames, which will be twenty-two
inches apart. have been set mp. and the
erection of them is being carried on from
amidships fore and aft. After all the
frames are up they will be covered with
steel plates ranging in thickness from
seven-eigh,hs of an inch ct the keel to
one-haif inch on the top.
So confident are the builders OF che
whaleback that ships Of this type can
safely ride the long sweIls of the ocean,
that they contemplate putting the Everett
in the China trade. and with that view will
fit her with cabins for about sixty passen-
gers. They claim that If she is loaded
within five feet of her back she will ride
the ocean sweils safely. but that when
light she would pound, even on the lakes.
To guard against this contingency, space
forty-two inches deep will be left between
her outside plates and the inside bottom,
in which will be ten tanks with capacity
Of 1000 tons of water. All Of these can be
filled or emptied in three hours. and any
one or more can be filled separately. With
these facilities for the rapid taking or dis
charging Of ballast, it is expected that no
difficulty will be experienced in navigating
her on the ocean, and Mr.. Lazier points
to the fact that two whalebacks are now
ru,. ming on the Atlantic - ground Tor this
