In this type of vessel this is all avoid
ed under similar conditions. The heavy
seas pass over the projecting bow and
stern unobstructed and without resist
ance; the projecting ends may be im-
mersed in water a moment, and when
the swell falls away, either at the low
or stern, the water swashes off their
upper fishback surfaces the sameN as
it does from the back Of fish on iris
ing above the waters surface.
The very low ends Of this type or
model Of vessel above the load line,
with no top heavy structure and
weight thereon, permits this stylef of
vessel to be high above the wateE in
its main body, not subject to be OYER

vessel in case of collision or other ac-
cident, and chiefly to aid in opening a
channel for the main bulky body Of the
vessel to move easily through, and to
close the channel easily at the stern
through which the bulky body of the
vessel has passed, when running rap
idly.
One of the objects is to give easy
curves and lines longitudinally on the
sides of the vessel throughout the
whole length of the ship, with light
construction of the hull and thus Sc
cure the least possible resistance to
the vessels rapid propulsion, and also
support the light ends and main body
of the vessel by their buoyancy.
The easy run Of the vessel by this
method, it is claimed, resembles the
tail of fish, easily closing the channel
already cut so cleanly forward. In
scudding before a heavy gale and sea
it is eficacious, and in steaming "head
on to a heavy sea the force of the
swell is cut and broken before reaching
the main body Of the vessel.
The great additional buoyancy which
the extensions give to the ends Of the
ship IN this case, together with her
great length, insures her resting on
three or more swells and thus the
pitching motion is avoided. Stability
is assured in part by the great beam

atch-NIaking Mammas.

The mother who in her own youth
timidly retreated before the advance of
yarn ball is willing, if fashion so die
tates, to allow her young daughter to
act as umpire or catcher even of a col
lege nine, and would gladly tie up her
broken thumbs if the injuries resulted
in a plain gold band on her fourth
finger. She has a high estimate of
womanly delieacy that prompts her to
exclaim in horror: run, dear, papa
is coming" when the child is dressing
her hair before papa's mirror; but the
shock of having the girls own father
see her in her dressing jacket has
scarcely ceased to thrill her before she
leads her forth before all men, arrayed
in ball dress unworthy of a decent
pagan. Donohue's Magazine says 0et
even piety is made to serve her SIr-
pose. Men admire religion in a woman;
they like a wife with influence in the
other world; so the prudent mother
decides that her girls will be model
church goers, and marches them out
with the Sunday precision of regiment
bound for church. Matchmaking moth
ers are alike in motive the world over
The dusky savage differs in method
from the cultured Caucasian, but her
maternal instinct leads her to hunt the
same prey, the only difference being,
perhaps, that she uses less dissimula-
ton. The naughty aristocrat, the mid
dle-class matron, the presiding genius
of the squalid home, are one in inten-
ton with a certain vigorous country
mother, who, believing town life and
music to- be conducive to matrimony,
formulated her plan of campaign as
follows: We'll move inter town,
