WHEN LIFEsoATs FAIL
Few Ocean steamers Garry Enough Small
Boats to Save Half Their Passengers.

Boats to save Half Their Passengers.
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes once said that
the only thing which disturbed his sense Of
security when crossing the Atlantic on
! first class steamship was the sight of the
| lifeboats and liferafts carried by the big
vessel towhich he was quite willing to trust
his life. These visible provisions for terri
bic emergencies seemed to him to imply
want Of such confidence as the owners and
officers Of the steamship ought to feel in
their noble craft. AS matter Of fact, the
lifeboats on an ocean steamship Of large
size, engaged in the passenger trade, are Of
use only under peculiar circumstances, and
they would be Of very little value in such
emergencies as are most commonly associ-
ated with life saving appliances.
Let a steamship like the Umbria, for in
stance, be so torn by collision with drift
ing wreck or an iceberg that the great YES
sci could be kept above water for only an
hour or two, and the ifehoats would prove
utterly inadequate to save half Of the per
sons on board from immediate death. The
big passenger steamships often carry three
times as many persons across the Atlantic
as their lifeboats could hold, and it follows
that the number sure to perish would be
twice as great as the largest possible rem
nant saved. And in the hour of need the
chances are that q high sea and general ex-
citement would prevent the proper loading
of the lifeboats, or even cause the destruo-
tion Of some Of them.
Almost every steamship entering the port
Of New York during a stormy season has
boats smashed by tremendous waves or
swept away altogether OF course storms
arc just what are most likely to be encoun-
tered when an ocean steamships lifeboats
alone stand between her passengers and
crew and death.
The small boats Of great Atlantic liner
are useful in case of disaster, If the shore or
some other vessel is near enough to render
several trips to and from the sinking steam
er possible They serve admirably also when
there arc no passengers or very few, and
they can be lowered and filled without ac-
cidcnt But when destruction comes in
its most awful forms, and no refuge Is near
except the small boats Of great ocean |
steamship carrying many passengers, an
appalling tragedy must inevitably result.
The trust of all on board the big line
steamships which cross the Atlantic must
be put, rs DR.. Holmes rightly thought |
should be the case, almost wholly in the |
great and almost indestructible vessels |
which yearly pass in safety through the
widest storms and the severest tests of sea- |
worthiness Cleveland Leader.

chinosa Inna.

A word must be said about Chinese inns.
No one who has ever staid at one of these
caravansaries is likely to forget his ex-
perience-a large courtyard around the
four sides of which are built rows of small
rooms, the restaurant and Office being in
'front.' The buildings are built Of sun dried
bricks and are usually in the last stages Of
dilapidetion. Each small room contains a
bricl, bed in which q fire can be lighted fol
warmth In winter. There is no furniture
but rough chair and perhaps table,
while the windows are nothing but frames
covered with paper.
The average Chinese inn is usually a
menagerie and geological garden combined
In the yard can be seen and heard mules
donkeys, dogs, cats, fowls of all kinds, pigs
and canels, while in the rooms where the
weary traveller is supposed to find re-
there is also rich variety. =.

was for some years surgeon in a cavalry
regiment, and when it went to India was
continuously dunned by his long suffering
tailor who in despair begged his debtor to
take care Of his health, otherwise what
will become of me?"
The reply was characteristic: II have re-
ceived your hypooritical letter hoping that
l will take care of my health in order that I
may live TO pay your bill. Hear, then, what
your chances have been so far. / attend as
siduously every cholera case in the canton

The Matchmaking roxer.

This is what Aldace f. Walker, chair
man OF the joint committee of the Trunk
Line and Central Traffic associations,
says about railroad rates in The Railway
Age and Northwestern Railroader: THE
fact is-and it is so often overlooked that
it must be stated strongly-the ratemak-
ing power of railway company il its
highest corporate function. 1t is char
ter power. Its control rests ultimately
In the state. In acts of incorporation
this power is universally conferred upon
the boards Of directors-the highest seat
Of corporate authority. 1t should have
been treated with seriousness and as rep
resenting the most important duty of the
several boards. But instead Of this our
country has been treated to a carnival Of
rates--rates-rates Hundreds of thou
sands of tariffs have been filed in Wash
ington during the last five years. The
directors Of every corporation have prac-
tically abdicated this most important
duty and have left it in the hands of sub
ordinates, who have patiently developed
q most ingenious confusion through
which they alone are competent to pick
their way"

It's Wrong.

We believe that 1t is very bad plan fol
any city to adopt the policy Of letting fakirs
and trayeling merchants sell goods upon Its
streets at nominal license, and have always
said so. No city can protect its home mer-
chants too well. Several cities in the state
put the license SO high that 1t is impossible
for these travelling men to stop there as they
cannot do any business only at loss.
While the city may derive little revenue
from this source, yet it is a very poor plan
to get 1t at the expense Of the home mer-
chant. Our merchants pay big taxes, and
are interested in making the city grow.
They must win the confidence of the people
in order to do business, and in order to win
that confidence must sell goods exactly as
represented. The opposite Is true of all
travelling fakirs and merchants. They pay
no taxes; are not interested at all in the
prosperity of the city; and do not care about
the confidence of the people as they are here
today and away tomorrow. IL the city faith
ers wish to do the right thing by the home
merchants they should at once place the
license for all travelling merchants, whose
lines come in competition with home mer-
chants, so high that it would exclude them
from doing business here. The city owes 1t
to itself and to our merchants to do this.

HOW TO CARVE A FOWL.
Instructions I'm Anatomy for the Benefit o
Inexperienced Caryers.

Instructions in Anatomy for the Benefit Of
Inexperienced Carvers.
The fowl is placed with the neck to the
left OF the carver and the fork is thrust
into the meat across the breastbone. The
leg is first severed in two parts, one joint
being taken off at time. In the first
instance the skin may be deftly cut
around, and the bending backward of
the joint, with stroke or two of the
knife, will do the business. In removing
the joint next to the body it is necessary
to know the exact location of the Joint,
when the keen knife will cut its way di-
rectly between the two bones, and the
thigh is dropped into the platter with q
single quick cut.
If the fowl is large one the wing is
cut off in similar manner; otherwise it
is removed in single piece, and in either
case section Of the breast meat should
accompany the cut from the shoulder
joint. The breast should be carved In
thin slices parallel with the breastbone.
Then the wishbone is taken out and the
collar bone separated from the body; the
shoulder blades are detached, and the car
ilage between the ribs is cut through,
separating the breast from the back.
Then the back is turned over, and with
the knife placed midway the tail end is
lifted with the fork, and the carcass is
broken in two.

The Color of the Waistcoat.

Life learns from private sources that
when gentleman goes to an entertain
ment to which he has received an en-
graved invitation he should wear a white
waistcoat. If the invitation Is written,
he simply wears the usual black waist
coat. 1t is perhaps unnecessary to in
form our readers that the man who ig-
nores this rule is no gentleman. Still
we hardly like to advise a hostess to
eject from her house every man whose
waistcoat is not in perfect harmony with
his invitation.
1t is not to be expected, however, that
