Hollow Spars.

The use of hollow spars for boats de-
signed to attain great speed has intro
duced new and novel industry requir-
ing workmanship of the finest charac-
ter. The stick for this purpose is re-
quired to be of exceptionally fine and
straight grain, and after being Roughly
shaped is split longitudinally from end
to end; the center of each of the halves
is then followed out, and greater or
less amount is removed, according to
the intended location of the spar, the
upper spars being much the lighter.
These hollows run nearly the length of
the spar, great care being essential to
have them follow the taper of the out
side of the spar exactly, to insure uni
form thickness at every point-of course
when this has been done and the two
halves of the spar replaced in their
original position, a circular hole is left
in the center of the spar, running near
ly the whole length, and following its
taper from end to end. After this the
two halves are fastened in place again
by means of wooden dowels, which fas-
ten the split together, being placed al
ternately on either side of the central
hollow, and beth dowels and split are
carefully glued. These bowels vary in
size with the size of the spar, but are
usually as long as they can be made
without piercing its outside surface.
They are placed slightly nearer the GEN.
ter hollow than the outside, in order to
give them all the length possible. In
small spars the glue and the bowels
suffice, but in large ones metal bands on
the outside are added.-New York Sun.

Enclish Criminals.

Doubtless, to judge from your aver
age daily journal, murders and sui
cides, crimes and catastrophes, wars
and feuds and frauds. would seem to re-
main the staple of the human record.
But be it remembered that, for obvious
reasons, all our worst and darkest is col
lected there. One might as well judge
of public health by the painful cases
described in medical publication as
of the vast mass of solid human happi-
ness and innocent living joy by the dali
ly catalogue of these really trivial ex-
ceptions TO it. AS for sins-the most Sc
rious of which are only such as are
malicious-though the population in
crease, they seem steadily to diminish.
We had S7,66S "habituals" IN 1868;
now the evil roll is only 90, 1853.
When the population of England was
10, 257.00 in 1869. there were 2, $50
persons undergoing penal servitude;
now, with population of 1880, 179,
the number is only 947. In 1878 the en-
tire number of prisoners in our jalls
was 90, S33; the entire number at the
same date last year was ~, 663, though
the population had increased by 6,000,-
600. Pauperism is also declining. In
1870, 1.079, 391 persons were in receipt
of relief; in 1891, with an addition of
more than 1000, 900 inhabitants, there
were only 774, ,905. The upshot of these
figures - without pressing them too
much-seems surely to be that the COS
mic process in our own little corner of
the universe is not doing so badly.-Sir
Edwin Arnold in Longman's Magazine.

Beautiful maid of the long ago,
Stately and slender, blond and tall,
With the pinched in waist and the foot so
small,
Prithee tell-for fain would know
What did you on that Christmastide
When great-great-grandpapa made you bridei
Handsome and courtly and debonair.
With his powdered cue and his Roman nose,
As richly dark as his bride is fair,
He rests a hand on your straight backed chair
To whisper to you. l suppose
To whisper again as in long ago
When he kissed you under the mistletoe.
Say, beautiful bride in the antique dress;
Say, beautiful bride in your bridal white,
Did you let him gaze on your loveliness
Till lifted eyes did your heart confess
As you led the dance on your wedding night
Did he press your hand as he bent TO say
Sweet words-as the lovers do today?
All courtly groom of the vanished years.
Beautiful bride of the days long fled,
Dust, but dust are your hopes and fears,
Cold your kisses and dried your tears:
But hang here, over your head,
A sprig of such Christmas mistletoe
As you kissed beneath in the long ago.

Spanish Etiquette.

There is a curious story of how the
Duke d'Aoste. when king of Spain. told
a muleteer to whom he was talking to
cover himself, the sun being hot, for
getting that by so doing he made him a
grandee. Marshal Prim, to prevent this
catastrophe, knocked the mans hat out
of his hand, and according to some the
muleteer had something to do with the
assassination that followed a few days
afterward. London Spectator.
