Those Velvet Collars,

The velvet collars on mems overcoats
was as inevitable feature few years
ago OF dress as the buttons on the back
of a cutawsy coat. But in the last two
or three years that fashion has gone out
to remarkable degree, says the ST..
Louis Globe Democrat. The comparatively
old-fashioned velvet collar of decade
ago is quite extinct now. This was an
entirely velvet collar, aud when the COL
lar was turned up nothing but the velvet
touched the skin. Now where the vel
vet has been used recently it has been in
the form OF a half-collar, and the lower
half of the turn was ornamented in
this.
It was very rare few years ago to SET
4. melton overcoat without a velvet COL
lar, but last year the coats were made
almost entirely Of the one cloth, and the
exceptional cases was that of the use of
velvet. The reason OF this change is as
much one of cleanliness as any other.
The turned-up collar came into contact
with the hair of the head. As every
body's hair has some natural oil, and
nearly everybody uses some sort Of pre-
pared hair lubricant, the velvet became
greasy aud lost its texture. Aud about
the dirtisst thing in the world is greasy

Smusglers' Paradise.

Talk about snug ding! The Sandwich
Islands is the place for big risks and big
profits. have run opium in there and
sold every speck OF it at StS pound.
A few cargoes a. tat rate, and the rnug-
gler has fortune. The trouble is,
though, that collusIon with the Hawaiian
customs officials is almost impossible.

in the service, are practically incorrupti.
bic. It's no: SO because the punishment
for such an offense is severe, but because
the standard of honesty among the island
revenue officers II remarkably high, sayi
San Francisco mau.
You see the importation OF opium intc
.he islands is not subject to high duty,
as here, but is absolutely prohibited.
That's why the profits are large.
Speaking of the risks, there Is a San
Franciscan who knows all about that.
Now he is prosperous business man and
a prominent Mason. He reached tht
Islands penniless and got in with the
smugglers. He was a daring chap and
cool hand, too; so before long he was
able to run in cargo on his own ac-
count. He made big pile, bought
property, and was on the road to wealth
when he made his last venture. He and
another smuggler combined all the money
they could raise, selling or mortgaging
all the property they had. It was big
deal and would have made them inde-
pendent for life, but somehow the Gus
toms people found them out, and the end
Of it was that the snugglers fed to San
Francisco on a trading schooner, with
out dollar in the world, leaving one Of
the biggest cargoes Of opium ever seized
in Hawaii to be burned.-NeW Y0ri

These supplies, which cost $40, 0Oi
to sl2, 900, are mainly packed away
in the store-roOms and refrigerators
in the bow of the steamer, but the
apparently vast quantities of food
consumed do not indicate the total
supply, for the purser estimates that
in case of necessity he could supply
plain food for his floating community
for two entire months. The length
Of the trip seldom exceeds ten days
All of which indicates the modern
steamship is an expensive as well as
res 1urceful affair.
When the Alters starts on her east

stokers, whose industrial recOmpense
is $50 per month, away down in the

the spine OF the ship, daily shovel

The achievements Of ocean racers
have started some very absurd para
graphs on the rounds, to the effect
that one burns sI3, 900 worth CT coal
every trip. ) little calculation, with
facts to back it, will show the eI.
trayagance of this statement. The
American liner New York consume:
about 32S tons per day, the White
Star liner Teutonic about 316 tons,
and the Cunarder Etruria $50 tons
per day at full speed. 1t has beer
stated that the Etruria at a speed Of
IS knots burns only 275 tons per day.
This consumption would send the
greyhound across with total use OF
about 1000 tons in round figures.
The price of coal in New York is
considerably less than 81 pei ton, and
in Liverpool ii IS cheaper than here,
but even at outside figures the cost
of fuel per trip, 1t will be seen,
does not exceed $4,000. The
fuel bills Of such ships are,
OF course, far in excess of those
of the average ocean steamer Triple.
expansion engines and improved ma.
chinery Of the present day have made
it possible to s. ccOuomize coal that
the consumption per indicated horse
power per hour has been reduced In
ratio to much lesS-two pounds, a.
against nine pounds in 1896, and five
and One-half pounds in 1910. The
Teutonic's average is quoted at l.e
pounds per hour. The majority OF
ocean steamers Of ordinary size,
travelling at an easy gait, think tor
of coal per hour Is quite extravagant
enough for their propulsion. Our big
new war ship Iowa will have bunker
capacity for only 1000 tons of coal &c
speed her at sixteen knots, the Ipdi.

Last, but not least, is the ships sur
geon, who sits at the foot Of the cap
tain's table.
All these men are under militar,
discipline, and many Of them have
worn buttons Of the army of Ger
mania. When that minister OF state,
the pilot, comes aboard, he becomes
absolute in authority, and he IS an
expensive, II short-lived, potentate
for the ship. His pay is graduated
according TO the tonnage Of the ves-
sci whose movements he is directing.
The pilot charges from New York to

something in the neighborhood Of
