The admirers OF crinoline will be

washerwoman of the Rue aux Jnifs,
in the Marais, placed a pettlcoat Oh
a basket-work frame, over q stove, 70
dry. In order to concentrate all the
heat, and to prevent its escaping by
the aperture at the top she drew the
strings closely together which are
used to tie 1t round the waist BY
degrees the stuff dried, became
lighter. and the stove continuing 70
heat and rarely the air concentrated
under the framework, the petticoai
began to move, and at last rose In the
air. The washerwoman was 30 as'
tonished that she ran out to call heI
neighbors; and they, seeing IL sus

A Good shin to Sail On.

Captain Vaughan, of the British bark
Sokoto, has a way Of dealing with his
men which is a revelation to the old
lime "bucko mates" but the reports are
that 1t works like a charm. When in
port he feeds them on watermelons,
peaches and other fruit when in season,
and it is safe to say that proyender of
that sort was never seer going into a
~lorecastle before. At sea he has no such
thing as an allowance, every sailor on
the bark being privileged to eat all he
wants to and can hold. The men have
fresh bread every day, and all the sshard
tack. they want, canned meats, pota-
toes, vegetables and fruit. Strange as
1t may seem, the cost is less than that
Of any other vessel Of the same line.
Besides this, the men work more cheer
fully, keep the bark looking like a par
3lor, and never want to leave the EN-
ploy. Captain Vaughan is breaking
down fhe established custom, but his
owners are satisfied, as he is saving
money for the firm.
