Where M onks and Nuns Are Plentiful.

The religious statistics of Belgium
for 1890, which were only published
toward the close of last year, give
the number of conventual institutions
and their inmates in the kingdom
229 monasteries, with 4,175 monks,
and / $40 converts. with %, 32S sis
ters and nuns. These have grown
during the decade preceding from 2l3
monasteries, with 4.l20 monks, and
.3i6 converts, with 81 2i2 sisters.
The increase was not so great as in
the period OF 1S10-'S0, when many of
the religious expelled from Prussia
settled in Belgium. In the next de-
cade many of these returned. owing
to the relaxation of the church laws.
But there are still over 10000 men
and women belonging TO the various
orders, and. taking the population of
Belgium at 100000, we find one
religious monk or sister-to every
200 persons.-lLondon Guardian.

SENNETT'S CRAFT.
The Steamer GIides Into
the Water.
A New Enterprise Inaugurated for
the Purpose of Saving Dockage
to Shipping.

The launch of Captain SennettS steam
craft Eva. which he calls his launch, was
marked by degree of hilarity when 1t
glided into the bay from Stones shipyard
near Hunters Point yesterday.
The Eva was not built for pleasure by
auv means. but for work and the hardest
kind of work. In fact she is the beginning
of an enterprise that has heretofore been
In vogue in all the large ports of the
world, but strangely enough has never
been used here she is simply built for
the purpose of saving ships lying in the
stream the expense of unnecessary dock
age. or rather to serve them in the stream
instead of compelling them to go to the
dock and mourning the extra expense.
The craft might with prOpriety be called
steam barge from her dimensions, which
are 40 feet over all, % feet breadth Of
beam, and "a feet depth of hold, She
carries an engine on her deck of ample
horsepower TO drive her ten miles an
hour. which Is used for the double purpose
OF propulsion and hosting cargoes in and
out OF ships, ard also for transferring men
and gear from one point to another.
For instance. if there is a ship lying in
the stream that desires to unload without
coming to the dock. the Eva will lie along
side aud hoist the cargo into barges or
transfer it to other craft. III sne desires

HOW TO KEEP A HOTEL.
1t Is a Fine Art and Requires Prac-
tiCal Experience.

It is a well-conceded fact that it is not
every man that can keep hotel. Especially
is this true in large city like San Fran
cisco, where tnere is so much competition,
and where the building of hotels and large
lodging-houses has become such a craze.
so much so that at the present time there
are hotels and lodging-h0uses enough al
ready built to amply supply city with
twice the population of San Francisco,
and fully enough to meet all requirements
for the next twenty years to come without
putting up another single building. In
this state of affairs it is no wonder that SO
many inexperienced people who try their
hand at the business of bookkeeping come
to grief, as it requires careful training and
great experience, as well as cool, calm,
calculating mind to make a success of the
business in times like the present
In our endeavors TO get into the secret
of what constitutes a successful hotel
keeper we were favored with short inter
view with Mr.. Charles Montgomery of the
popular and well-patroniZed Brooklyn
Hotel. Mr.. Montgomery's name is the
best and most favorably known in connec-
ton with hotels of any on the entire
young man he is the Oldest active hotel
keeper In San Francisco, being thrty-two
years in the business.
In answer 10 the question why is the
Brooklyn Hotel so much better patronized
than the majority of hotels?" Mr.. Mont
gomery briefly stated:
housekeeping is trade or profession,
and requires years of study and hard work
to climb to the top of the ladder, and the
reason so many fail in the business is be-
cause when they are in it a few months
they think they know il all, whereas it re-
quires constant study and watchfulpess,
and ledge of the varied wants and
tastes OF the public. In fact. thorough
hotel-kesper is one that is ever learning
never above receiving a suggestion. no
matter from what quarter it comes. He
must also understand how the work should
be done in every department. and give his
personal attention to all detail work"
Mr.. Montgomery plan is to study day
and night how TO please the appetites of
his guests. and. as he expresses it. he ad-
vertises his hotel through the stomachs oil

do q very large business. and is packed full

\ PHILATELIC SWINDLER

For four years past the philatelic fra
ternity has suffered at irregular intervals
from the Vaccinations OF one Of the bold
est, most ingenious AMI most successful
swinders, and that this versatile ind-
vidual has not yet been brought up with a
short turn is as remarkable as his criminal
career.
He has operated from different parts of
the United States. and from the latest re-
ports received from Toronto, Canada, it Is
believed that his tempting bats for the
unwary have been thrown ont from there
for several months past. Up to date he
has worked under no less than four differ
ent assumed names. His real name is
supposed to be A. B. Quigley, at least that
is the first one under which ne introduced
himself to the stamp-collectinE public.
What the aggregate amount of his ILL
gotten gains is it is impossible to de-
termine. as no doubt MANY OF his victims
have maintained silence. but it is known
that during the entire period of his fraudu-
lent career he has lived and dressed ex-
ceedingly we'll. indicating that he has
made something more than good living
out of his operations.
He first came to the notice OF SAMPLES
in 1890 as the manager Of the Frankfort

suburb of Philadelphia. Here be carried
on q mall-order business for some time
and was q liberal advertiser. About the
time a good business bad been established.
and when each mail brought generous

lated that no purchases would be made
without a previous inspection. At the
same time he also announced the pros

called the Coium bian Philatelist. He
secured many consignmeuts in response to
his tempting offers, but his operations un-
der this method continued but short
time. as the postal authorities who had
been put on his track by a suspicious
dealer. soon made it too warm for him,
ana he was forced to flee. He left not the
slightest clew 10 his whereabouts and the
officers were obliged to give up the hunt.

where she has recited her efforts have been
greeted with enthusiasm and have won
testimonials from such men as Steele

one of MISS Benfey's most artistic produc-

CELLULoID-H. B.. Chico, Cal. There are
several methods OF manufacturing celluoid and
each is protected by patent. Those who hold
these patents have not made public the proper
ton OF ingredients used in the preparation.
Celluloid is made from the cellulose contained
in cotton cloth or raw cotton. The cotton Is
treated TO a weak solution OF nitric acid. luis
has the effect OF ma ing pulp oil the cetton'
which Is very much like paper pulp After the
acid has acted. the pulp Is treated TO copious
water bath hat In large measure Washes OUT
the acid. Then 1t goes through partial dry-
Ing process and a large quantity OF campnor
gum is mixed with it. it is then rolled In o
sheets ready for the drying-room, where 1t Is
dried on hot cylinders the same as paper Is
dried. 1t can be softened by steam, Dut
it hardens again when 1t Is dry. Celiuiolo IS
also composed Of caoutchoue, sulphur geiatine'
baryta, albumtn. camphor ana other SUD
stances treated by a variety OF chemical pro-
cesses and often celored with an adinlxlure OF
white substances. The kind OF celluloid that Is
known as Limitation ivory is made with
pyroxyline or guncotton. The mixture OF
pyroxyline and camphor is pressed INTO cakes'
then into pile with layers OF paper between;
after which the combined materials are pressed
into heated cylinder by means oil pluneer.
then dissolved and discharged In continuous
rod or sheet from a nozzle. One OF the latest
patents issued for the manufacture OF ceuloid
is for preparation Of ivory or bone dust,
pyroxyine, gum camphor and nitric acid All
preparations Of celluloid are highly innamma-
bic.
