wOman's S Friendship.

Ii i great advantage to a man, in
every pursuit or vocation, 70 secure an
adviser in a sensible woman. In wo-
man there il at once subtle delicacy
Of tact, and plain sOundness Of judg-
ment, which are rarely combined to an
equal degree in man. \ woman, if
she be really your friend, will have q
sensitive regard for your character,
honor, repute. She will seldom coun-
SCI YOU 10 do shabby thing, for Il
wOman-friend always desires to he
proud Of you. At the same time her
constitutional timidity makes her more
cautious than your male friend. She,
therefore, seldom counsels YOU TO do an
imprudent thing. a mans best female
friend l. a wife of good sense and heart,
whom he loves, and who loves him.
But, suppOsing the man Ia be without
such helPmate, female friendship he
must still have, or his intellect will be
without a garden, and there will lie
many an unheedled gap, even in it,
strongest sense. Better and safer, Of
course, are such friendships where dis
parity of Years or circumstances puts
the idea of love out of the question.
Middle life has rarely this advantage !;
youth and old age have. We may have
female friendships with those much
older, and Those much younger, than
ourselves Female friendship i to
Hlan the bulwark, sweetness, ornament
Of his existence.

A Knot and a Nile.

II Is noted in Csu~sieJ's Magazine for
july that one Of the things which it
seems difficult for the public mind to
grasp i that there = a decided differ
ence between the knot and the mile
II is certainly about time TO have il IN
derstood that the two are not the same
thing. Il seems easy enough TO re-
member that mile i only about 81
per cent Of a knot, the latter being,
approximately, 60s2 feet in length,
while the statute mile measures $50
feet. Three and One-half miles are
equal, within a small fraction, 10 three
knots. The result Of this difference,
Of course, i that the speed Of vessel
in miles per hour Is always eonsidera-
bly, larger than when stated in knots,
and the confusion Of the terms some
times gives rise 10 rather remarkable
claims OF speed performance When
a 3lknOt ship, for example, Is lightly
mentioned, il should be remembered
that this really means little over -
miles; similarly, with higher figures
which are often glibiy enough stated,
the difference between the terms i
worth bearing in mind IL will help
10 guard against the forming Of ridieu-
loas estimates Of vessels capabilities

New ouesu Of tAe Seas.


BOsroN, Mass, July 1.-THE triple
screw cruiser Minneapolis, sister Of the
Columbia. made a record Of 2lG5 knott
i2657 miles, on her trial trip to-day OF
the New England coast, and earned 4 pre-
MUM for her contractors. the Cramp
Shipbuilding Company, Of 2.so0.
Her,aofore j: has been customary for the
Government not to pay premium on
fractions of qusrter-knot, bat the cOn-
tract foi the Minneapolis provided fsr
such payments. and hence the small adj
dition 10 the S4Oo.coo premium which she
otherwise would have earned She coy-
cred the round distance Of s,a9i miles in
, hours and ~ minutes.
The Minneapolis beats the Columbia
by practically one-quarter Of knot in
speed, and therefore takes rank as the
fastest sea-going vessel in the world
This premium. in connection with all
the other premiums which the Messrs.
Cramp have earned ON ships OF the new
navy, swells their earnings 10y premiums
70 more than Si.ea0,1 in the last six
years. This means that the boats which
the Messrs- Cramp have baiit are worth
more than 81. .0o1,09 10 the navy. in the

tie creatures vanity and brought her
70 a sad pass, indeed
The company kept dropping in fast,
and things went on as usual When
the curtain rose at O'Clock no one
would have suspected how near we had
come 70 n real tragedy that afternoon
The house was crowded and the in
terest intense Never had / sen
Whiting act better. He received a
dozen curtain calls and was cheered 10
the echo. KEEP; my promise and fol-
lowed his movements closely He
seemed sIl right. though his eyes were
unnaturaIly bright To his wife he
never addressed a word, and she
shrank away when he approached her.
Probably she noticed whatever change
there might he in him more quickly
than anyone else could Kenton she
avoided in a marked manner, much 20
my sstisfactiOn-and his; he was a
coUarily cur, and did not fancy his
present position.
At Iengththe curtain rose upon the
fourth act II i in this that the IA
nous scene takes place when the RO-
man father sacrifices his daughter 10
save her from the clutches Of the
wicked APpius Claudius- The act
went well, and gradually the time ap-
preached for the death Of Virginia.
I had had my little say and had
withdrawn 10 the background 10 give
Nirginius all the room he needed Ev-
err eve was upon him - he concluded
his terrific appeal for mercy for his
daughter. / saw Kenton rise from his
seat on the throne and motion 10 his
guards TO drag Virginia away. Before
they could act, however, NirginiGs had
her clasped in his arms for a last kiss.
Slowly he drew her toward the market
table, where there lay great knife.
Again Claudius cried 10 his guards,
and then Whiting reached for the
knife.
A. he did 20 eanght a glimpse of
his face. His ferocity terrified me.
Never had seen anything 10 eqal that
diabOlic=il expression. Instantly il
flashed upon me what this man pro-
posed TO do. l tried 10 cry out, but my
tongue Glove To the roof of my mouth.
/ saw Whiting raise the knife, and was
powerless 10 utter sound. He was
about to strike, when suddenly found
my tongue
3" For heavens sake, Whiting" l
screamed, 'think what you are doingr'
/ sprang forward, and A. / did - the
knife descended. Ii pierced Virginia's
breast and entered her heart. Without
a moan she fell dead With a roar like
that Of a tiger, Whiting darted toward
the spot where Kenton sat, stunned
with terror and dismay. One or two Of
u threw ourselves upon the madman,
and though hc struggled desperately,
wrested the knife from his grasp.
Then left him and ran before the
curtain, which had been dropped In
a few words quieted the audience
and they dispersed
When returned Whiting was sleep
ing over the dead body Of his wife,
while the members ofthe company were
panic-stricken. Kenton had taken adj
vantage Of the confusion and fed. We
never saw him again.
Mrs. Whiting was quietly buried a
few days afterwards. She had no near
relatives, and I was chief mOurner.
Whiting never recovered his reason,
and died ten wears later in an insane
asylum.
Truly, truth, in some instances, i
stranger than fiction.

A Chinese Superstition.


From the Family Magazine.
Chinese junks and boats have eyes
carved or painted ON the bows, which
are usually supposed TO be mere fan
ciful form of ornamentation- But they
have a real meaning, as a recent trav-
eler found In going up one Of the
rivers from Ningpo he was startled one
day by seeing boatman seize his
broad hat and clap it over one Of the
''eyes" of the boat, while other BEATS
on the stream were similarly blinded.
Looking about for an explanation, he
saw dead body floating past, aud he
was told by the bOatman that if the
boat had been allowed to see ii some
disaster would surely have happened
either 10 passengers or crew before the
voyage was ended.
