Blue Blood.

The late Marshal MacMahon was one
French republicanism in the last quarter
of n century. He had mind at once
judicial and executive, a temper at once
firm and sweet. Called from the office of
commander in chief of the army to fill the
chair of president of France in the most
perilous days of the republics existence,
in May, 1878, he refrained from tempta-
ton before which even Napoleon fell,
the temptation to make himself dictator.
No purer patriot, scarcely an ADLER man,
conservative though he was, has the
third French republic numbered among
its citizens. He lived to the good old
age of IS, long enough to see the repub-
lie firmly established and respected
among all nations.
All through his career MacMahon
showed evidence of both the high sense
of honor and the staying qualities that
are the infallible evidences of blue blood.
The genuinely high born individual is
the one whom no disaster can down, no
inducements bride from his duty. He
stands like a rock. Marshal MacMa-
hons ancestry includes, during the two
centuries through which it can be traced
back, Baron Sully, Marquis de Viange,
Comte de Charney, and the noble lady,
Charlotte lie Belin dEguilly. But the
finest blood of all comes from the couple
who were the founders of the family in
Ireland, John MacMahon. 4 servant in
the noble house of Sarsfeld. and Mary
Clarke, waiting maid to Lord Tyrconnel.
Marshal Mac Mahon was quite I'M French
in one respect. He was almost pain
fully modest. He could not have inner
tied this bashfulness from his French
ancestors. 1t must have come from his
Irish blood.

Yacht Building.

"a yacht" says an expert, lis n sea-
going vessel designed and used for recre-
alton as distinguished from commerce"
Nevertheless the exact copy of the sea-
going yacht can be copied and used for
recreation as well upon our large lakes
and rivers, and therein lies the general
interest i'll the subject that has been ex-
cited by the great international race.
Every time such Il race comes off it is
supposed in advance to be Il settler for
the question whether the cutter or cen
terboard model is the better. For 10
years the Briton has been declaring that
the cutter pattern could outSail the cen
terboard pattern, and every time he has
tried to prove it he has been defeated.
Anybody but Briton would have given
up long ago, but it is almost certain that
next year the same old race between the
Yankee centcrboarder and the John Bull
deep keel will be run once more.
What is the difference in the two
models? The cutter, or British yacht
has deep, sharp. narrow hull that ex-
tends far down into the water. The
centerboarder, on the contrary. has a
shallow hull that rides more on top of
the water. But in slit or case in the
center of it is an oval shaped board.

steady the boat when sailing against the

model can be i cutter or shallow keel at
need. The facts in regard to yacht build
ing and racing seem 10 Ir Us follows:
The Americans can build the fastest
yachts, but the British can furnish the
best sailors to man them.
