DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-The warehouse of Mr..
Charles A. Andrew, at Glen Cove, ON the Sus-
quehanna river, was destroyed by fire, last
Friday night, together with its contents. The
origin of the fire can not be ascertained but
it is supposed to have been the act of an incen-
diary. 1t contained about 8, 900 cases of corn
and quantity of dressed lumber belonging
to Mr.. Andrew, together with about $500
cases of corn on storage by Mr.. David E.
Price. the most of which had been sold also
some store goods and furniture, the property
OF Mr.. John McNutt. Mr.. Andrew has about
$1,000 insurance in the Hartford company
The building, which belonged to Mr.. d. C..
Wharton Smith, was also insured for 81 900 in
same Co. Nearly all of the lumber piled up
near the warehouse was removed to place

DEAR SIR: l am entirely satisfied, so far,
with the Liquid Enamel Paint made by the
NV Jersey Enamel Paint Co. which bought
OF you the past summer. and if it proves to be
durable and holds well its color, which it now
proves to do, / prefer it to any paint ever
used. 1t has Il good body, and dries with
face than you claim for it. My estimate ac-
cording to your rule, left me enough, after
painting my house. to give two coats tolthe en-
tire fence around my yard, which is quite q
large one. Respectfully yours,

DEAR SIR: The New Jersey Enamel Paint
has been exclusively used by me for the past
ten or twelve years in considerable quantities,
both on my dwellings and outbuildings, and
it has given entire satisfaction. About six
years ago, whilst Collector of Customs for
Baltimore, had the Custom House through
out painted with the New Jersey Enamel Paint
The work, when finished, was much admired,
and gave general satisfaction to the Govern
ment officials and the public consider it an
excellent paint and take great pleasure in re-
commencing its general use. Yours truly,

The semi-annual statement of the condition
of the association was shown. 1t was very
gratifying to the stockholders. 1t appeared
that the net profits Of the association were
sufficient to enable the directors to declare a
semi-annual dividend of 81 per cent, which
was credited up to all shares entitled to a
dividend at this time. Besides, n small sur
plus of profits was left in the treasury. The
sum entitled to dividends was SO, 633.31. The
association is in prosperous condition and
has proved to be of great advantage in encour-
aging the weekly saving of small sums, and
enabling persons with limited means to secure
homes for themselves.

Hair and Complexion.

1t is often interesting to see the pranks
that are played by nature in the mat
ter of hair and complexion. 1t is not
unusual to find blond complexion
with black hair, and / have seen sever
al cases Of mismated eyes, one of them
blue and the other black. That phe.
nomenon, too, have seen in cats. Ne
groes are occasionally found with light
patches on their skins, and mulattoes
sometimes have patches of clear white.
Barnums leopard child was an illus
tration of this freak. Cases where the
hair whitens irregularly are common
enough.
Whistler, the artist and scold, has
little white topknot that he calls his
plume, and met man in Paris who
was black. as to hair, on one side of his
head and white on the other, the di-
viding line running down the middle
of his face, 80 that half of his hair, one
eyebrow. one lot of eyelashes, one mus
tache and the half of his beard were
black, the corresponding side being
white. Hair of two other colors is also
found and occasionally see a man on
Fulton street whose hair is brown ex-
cept at the back Of his neck, where it
is black, while young fellow that
have met has brown hair with little
tufts of red sprinkled through it. But
the oldest freak in that line that see
is a negro with red Brooklyn

Battleships of the Future.

The battleship of the future will,
like all human contrivances, be OF
gradual growth, resulting from the
adaptation to her use of improvements
and discoveries in many branches OF
science. Under the crucial test of war
it may be found that many mistakes
have been made. If | should venture to
point out one of these, it would be the
multiplicity of devices which every
branch of physical science has contrib
uted to overcrowd our ships. Not that
they do not admirably serve their pur-
pose, but t1ar that we, as sailors, are
growing to rely upon them and will be
lost when the rude shock of battle
breaks our electric wires and disar-
ranges the delicate machinery upon
which we now depend in a thousand
ways.
In the main, however, / venture to
think that the battleship of today has
a sound reason for all her principal
features, and the type will persist. The
stability will continue to be carefully
protected by vertical arlnor. Many of
/ the accidents, both in battle and in
times of peace, to which great ships are
liable, will be diminished by the adop
ton of liquid fuel. The main battery
will be mounted in turrets furnishing
complete protection to the guns, and as
far as possible to the machinery for
their manipulation, and for the supply
of ammunition. The secondary battery
will be protected in proportion to its
importance, while every gun position,
with its crew, will be protected against
machine and rapid gun fire The time
will never come when we shall cease
to demand higher requirements in the
battleship. Fortunately, all require
ments are interchangeable.
Armor may be substituted for guns,
guns for fuel, SO that the saving in one
direction may at once be utilized i'll
another. The advent of hard surfaced
armor will demand that the caliber of
the main battery be maintained, for
until projectiles of greater strength can
be produced, the only way to overcome
Harvey armor is to crush it with an
overwhelming blow. In addition tC
this it will undoubtedly be found that
all armor under the constantly varying
angles of impact in battle will furnish
greater protection than is considered
possible when judged by the result OF
normal impact on the proving ground
For this reason again, the larger calibel
of the gun must be maintained, and
this, in its turn, determines the great
size of the battleship of the future
subject to the restrictions which hav
been indicated T. Sampson, i

OId-FashiOned Tea Parties.

The "tea parties" of our grand
mothers day are coming into favor,
writes Mrs. Van Koert Schuyler in the
January Ladies' Home Journal. The
table is set with old-fashioned simple
ity, and lighted by candles in silver
branches" as the candlesticks in
those PARKWAY days were called. The
of the very finest. Plates of thin bread
and butter "spread on the loaf" cold
ham and tongue, grated cheese, fruit
cake. pound cake, crullers and jumbles,
with " damson preserves and {" short
cake " (known to moderns as soda bic
cuit), concluding with hot waffies, fur
nishes a facsimile tea-table of sixty or
seventy years ago. There is certain
old fashioned fragrance about such in
formal meetings, like the perfume that
exbales from a jar of roses, whose
sweetness still fingers, though the day
of their blooming is long since past.

Satolli's English Speeches.

One characteristic of Mgr. Satolli is
the power of his memory. His duties
require him to make frequent speeches
before American congregations, and
therefore IN the English language. He
writes his speeches out in Italian, for
mulates in his own language and ON
paper what he wishes to say and in just
what words he wishes to say it, has
these speeches translated into English
by his interpreter and then commits
The English to memory. SO wonderful
is his memory and so thorough his mas
terry of detail that no one would sus-
pect from listening to his utterances
that he was not an English scholar.
Although not understanding the words
he speaks, he gives them an infection
and pronunciation that are nearly per
feet and proves that the power of i1nita-
lion has been strongly cultivated within
him, for he copies every emphasis
tau HI him by the Misrepresentation
Advertiser.

The Stitch in Time.

The "stitch in time " which saves
nine, the old proverb, is just as applica-
BILE as it ever was, and it ought to be a
standard motto in the household econ
omy. To be sure, we are as people
enjoying a greater degree of prosperity
than prevails anywhere else in the
world, without any doubt; but that is
no excuse for wastefulness or neglect.
If few moments time and little
skill will put garment, even if not
very valuable, in condition for further
service which otherwise it could not
render, that time and skill are we'll
spent in repair. 1t is the looking after
these small amounts which makes the
difference between prosperity and it's
opposite. Who but has heard exclama-
lions like this: " You may we'll believe
that l don't spend my time darning
holes when can buy new pair "-of
whatever may be under consideration
and at a comparatively small figure.
Oh, yes, the cost is small, to be sure
but if that small amount could be in
hand at some time in the not distant
future, it would perhaps aid to secure
some coveted article, or would add sc
much to the provident fund which
should be laid aside for that "rainy
day" which, after all, comes to &C
many.-Good Housekeeping.

Things to Be Remembered.

That black cotton hose should be
dried and ironed on the wrong side to
prevent fading.
That calicoes should be washed in
clean water, dried in the shade and
turned on the wrong side to dry.
That black and white calcoes are
benefited by having handful of salt
added to the rinsing water.
That red tablecloths keep their color
if little borax is added to the rinse
water and they are dried in the shade.
That it is not needful to boil white
clothes (unless very dirty and have
the house filled with steam every week.
That if the clothes are folded and
laid in large rinsing tub and boiling
water poured on generously, it answers
the purpose.
That blueing added to the rinse
water does not whiten the clothes, only
covers dirt, and need not ever be used.
That letting clothes hang after they
are dry, or letting them hang through a
storm, or in windy weather to slat
about, is not conducive to long wearing
or to help the good mans pocketbook.
That clothespin bag made of bed
ticking or something stout, in the form
of pocket with slit on the front side
is much easier to get at than common
bag.
That bed-ticking apron with large
pocket across the bottom is better than
either.
That a basket exposes the clothes
pins TO dust, and the clothes suffer ac-
cordingly.-Good Housekeeping.

A Child's Ladder.

A little boy to his mamma said,
As she was putting him to bed
If should pile up barrels high
Until they reached clear to the sky,
And then. dear mamma If some time
l should up those barrels climb,
Would God from heaven reach down his hand
And take me into the promised land?'
At such thought the mother smiled,
But gently said, All no. my child
God tells us tits by faith and love
That we must enter heaven above;
BY love to him, and faith alone
In Jesus Christ his only Son,
Who died to save us from our sin
And make us fit to enter in.
Jesus has told us DER and DER
That he the way is and the door;
He's the Good Shepherd we are his sheep,
II we give him our hearts to keep;
But II we try to climb to heaven
In other ways than he has given,
But thieves and robbers we shall be,
And ne'sr in bliss his face shall see.
30 learn. my boy, the story old
OF the one Shepherd, the one fold;
How the Shepherd his life lay down,
Wearing meekly the thorny crown.
Listen at once and hear his voice:
1t is wise and happy choice;
Twill lead you to the mansions fair;
And this Good Shepherd will be there"
Exchange.
