The discomfort OF the excessive vibra-
ton on board the fastsailing ocean steam
ers has increased so much with the in
crease in the speed Of travel that investi-
cations have been made into the subject
with view Of modifying the inconven-
ience caused to passengers The usual
idea is that this vibration is due to the
action of the powerful engines. This is
apparently erroneous, for it is now found
that the cause consists solely in the uni
son between the number Of revolutions
of the engines and the number Of vibra-
tions Of the ship The smaller the length
of the ship the greater is the number
per unit Of its vibrations, and the Longer
the steamer the greater is the correspond
ing time Of its vibrations, Now York

A Custom That !. Very Old indeed.

A bride made the confession to group
of young women who gathered around
her after the wedding ceremony and the
congratulations had been said and
owned up to having worn yellow gar
ter for two years, that she had counted
the stars and carried out the various
bits of lore that are prophetic Of aspeedy
marriage and happiness ever after.
She wore something old and something new,
Something borrowed and something blue.
on her wedding night, and, moreover,
wore silver COMA Columbian half
dollar-in her shoe. She was showered
with the usual amount Of rice when it
came time to get into the carriage and
drive away for the honeymoon trip, and
had old shoes and good wishes enough
sent after her to make the after years
Joyous ones il they all hold good, and,
moreover, when she opens her trunk and
travelling bag and the bridegroom opens
his umbrella enough rice will come to
light to make their first rice pudding. and
the shoe strapped on the outside Of the
trunk will tell its own tale.
1t is strange how much enjoyment one
gets out Of such harmless things, but the
custom lasts, and the older it grows the
more rigidly it is adhered to, Buffalo

The customs and regulations most COM
monty observed on board buccaneer are
worth noting. Every pirate captain, doubt
less, had his own set Of rules, hut there
were certain traditional articles that seem
to have been generally adopted. The cap
tain had the state cabin, a double vote in
elections, double share Of booty. On
some vessels it was the captain who de-
cided what direction TO sail in, but this
and other matters Of moment were oftener
settled by a vote of the company the cap
tain's vote counting for two. The officers
had share and half, or a share and a
quarter, Of all plunder, and the sailors one
share each. Booty was divided with scru.
pulous care. and Narrowing was the penal
ty Of attempting to defraud the general
company il only to the amount Of a gold
piece or a dollar. Every man had full
vote in every affair Of Importance.

In view Of the present rapid development
Of speed in ocean steamers, 1t is interesting
to note the lines on which still greater i'm

has propounded the idea that the ships OF

tricity by means Of a simple rotating ar
mature fixed on the shaft Of the screw it
self.
The source Of the electric current for
driving the motors Of the prospective three
or four day Atlantic liners, Mr.. Smith con

the whole length Of the hold where they
will serve as excellent ballast, or else the

Making Church Fairs Unpopular.

It IS in no respect Credltable to a
charitable or religious institution
that allows its steeple or roof to
rise above the ground, or widens
its works and influence by the
means and methods commonly
praCtiCed at bazaars or fairs, writes
Edward w. Box in AT Home
With the Editor in the September
Ladies' Home Journal. Nor can
l see how any self-respeCting
woman can willfully place a price
upon an article that she knows in
her heart represents at least two
or three times its honest value.
And yet Christian women do these
things, as both YOU and I know
women, in all other respects, up
right in every motive. They do it
because they believe that the cause
in which it is done excuses the
action, forgetting the fact that
charity, of all things, was never
intended to be tool for dishonest
practices. Nothing will bring fairs
more quickly into disrepute, among
men particularly, as the extortions
allowed to be practiced at them.
The mana gers who resent lottery
and gambling schemes at fairs
quietly blink at the practice of
extortionate prices, as if the latter
represents a less graver sin.

New York Evening Post.
Fishing for cells in a sprinkling
cart in Bowling Green was a novel
sight witnessed this morning by
the loungers of that neighbOrhood.
The. cartman that sprinkled lower
Broadway and the adjacent streets
had filled his cart with CrOtOn wa
ter from the hydrant in front of
the American Line. but when it
came to sprinkling the water sim
ply wouldn't run out. Investigation
showed that the sprinkling appar-
atus was clOgged up. 1t was found
necessary to take this apart to see
what caused the stoppage, which
was found to be two cells, one .
inches in diameter and about 2 feet
long, and the other about inch in
diameter and | foot long. If the
cells came from CrOtOn Lake, which
they probably did, they travelled
more than forty miles before they
reached the hydrant in Bowling
Green.

The Law Of RetrIhuti9n.

Is corporal punishment ever
justifable? 1t is, exactly as a
surgical operation is justifable
when all other means have been
tried and failed, writes Elizabeth
Robinson Scovil in a thoughtful
article on THE Punishment of
Children in the September Ladies'
Home Journal. To whip a child
for every trivial offense renders him
CallOus and blunts his sense of
right and wrong. If he wantonly
infiCts pain on others he must be
made to feel pain himself. 1t is
the stern law of retribution whose
working lie cannot escape in after
life. Willful cruelty, persistent
disobedience may be punished
thus, but it is a serious matter to
run the risk of arousing the pas.
sions rather than of convincing the
reason.

A Pleasant Farewell.

Last evening a large circle of
young folks congregated in the
parlors at the Menger hotel, and
bid farewell to Professor James b.
Sanford and his bride, on their de-
parture for California, where the
Professor has secured a lucrative
situation as manager for the south
of a large New York firm. The
evening was royalty spent in social
conversation, and light, though
suitable, refreshments were served.
The feature of the occasion was the
rendition of several solos by Mrs.
Sanford, nee Miss Marguerite
Tucker, who is known throughout
the country as an almost perfect
meZZO soprano. Her clear and
sweet tones rang out merriment,
and the guests We're grateful at
being able to partake of such a
musical feast. Prof. and Mrs. San
ford leave this evening for their
new home among the beautiful
hills and valleys of the Golden
state.
