A Los Angeles lady was recently en-
gagged in drilling "a newly-engaged Chi

CHOW, Sing" she said, when the
door bell rings, you go to the door, hold
out this salver, man put card on. You
bring card to Inc. You savee?'
Yes, me shabbee,' replied Sing.
So rehearsal was gone through.
The Angeles lady rang her own door
bell. Sing opened the door, received
her card, inspected it closely, then fol-
lowed her into the parlor and presented
her with the card. While this was GO
ing on the door bell rang again. Sing
went to the door. A gentleman was
there, who handed his card to the serv.

grinned.

Finding New Rocks In the Sea.

1t appears from the annual report of
the photographer of the British navy
that two hundred rocks and other dan
gerous objects to navigation were dis
covered during last year-twenty six
by surveying vessels, thirty-five by
other ships belonging to the navy.
twenty-five by British and foreign yes
sells, one hundred and five were report
ed by colonial and foreign govern
ments and thirteen were discovered by
vessels striking on them. The resur-
veys of Spithead, Pembroke and Plym-
outh sound have been going on, and
serious obstacles were discovered at
the Welsh port, while at Plymouth it
turned out that the depth in the main
anchorage was vely much less than is
shown on the chart, SO that the largest
ships would be certain to touch bottom
in some places if the water sank to it's
lowest level. Dredging has therefore
been undertaken.

than those of clippers. yachts ana
schooners, on account of the perils OF
the ocean. the paucity of the crew to
manage the helm and sails during
period measured by months and the
spirit and pluck of the individual. But
it cannot be said that such voyages
really accomplish anything for the
science of navigation. In July, 1866,
Capt. Hudson and F. Z. Fitch. the
latter acting as mate. and dog, III
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. lifeboat called the Red,
White and Blue. and rugged as
schooner. started from Sandy Hook on
a voyage of unknown duration and un-
certain vicissitude across the Atlantic.
The boat had several narrow escapes
from capsizing. and thirty-seven days
after leaving New York she entered
Margate harbOr The boat and her
crew were exhibited at the Crystal
Palace. where the story of the voyage
was oft-told. The hardy navigators
did not return in the same way-they
had had enough of it. In the same
year small yacht of twenty-five tons
made the voyage from Liverpool to
New South Wales, reaching there in
one hundred and fifty days, distance
of sixteen thousand miles. IN June.
1876 Alfred Johnson started from
Gloucester in a small boat, manned
only by himself. and sixty-seven days
later he reached Liverpool. The voy-
age was a perilous enc, and when
about three hundred miles off the Irish
coast his boat was capsized, and he was
providentially assisted by huge wave
in righting it.
Another bold adventure was that of
Capt Thomas Grape, who. with his
wife. crossed the ocean in twenty
foot boat called the New Bedford. The
adventurous sailed from New Bedford
in June, and ffty-four days later
reached Penzance and were right glad
to end the voyage. The experiences
were most bitter and heart-rending.
in July, 1888, Capt. Andrews sailed
from Boston and crossed the Atlantic
The story of the voyage was like that
of many others-deprivatio OF com
forts and food, loss of sleep, hair
breadth escapes, dangerous hurricanes
and newspaper nOtOriety.

ure of work, and whether that be done
by rapid or slow process determines
the length of the days in which it is
done. theoretically, these young COM
petitors, who otherwise might be des-
tined for long and active existence,
will succumb and break down long
before the sun of their life has
reached its meridian, and the Lancet
states that SO far this has practically
been the fate of all those who have
endeavored, under the applause of
their unthinking comrades, to do what
nature has not constructed them for
doing without risk.

Stories OF Foolhardy Men Who Have
Crossed the Atlantic.
The record of adventurous persons
who have crossed the Atlantic in crafts
of small dimensions is, comparatively
speaking, long one. but nothing has
been accomplished beyond fame for a
few, and almost repulsive stories of
privations of various kinds and failure.
The latest e..iort of adventure in this
direction is that of Capt. Freitsch, q
Finn, who is TO try to cross the Atlantic
in q forty-six foot fiat-bottomed schoon-
cr-rigged SKI I, constructed by himself
ut Milwaukee J. He started from that
city recent crossing the lake and
coming through the Erie canal to Troy.

AMERICAN LUMBER ABROAD.
1t Is Sold In Every Country-RepOrts from
United States COnsuls.


United States COnsuls.
One of the most valuable publica-
lions ever issued from the state depart
ment has appeared. 1T consists of re-
ports from American cOnSuls through
out the world regarding United States
lumber in foreign markets. While in
tended primarily for the advantage of
American lumber producers and ship
pers, the information is of unusual gen.
eral interest, according to the Hartford
Times. The remarka BILE fact is shown
that the United States sends lumber to
every country on the globe. and that.
while in many lands the market is vir
tually controlled by the shippers of
this country, there are still great pos
sibilities of increased sales.
1t is astonishing to learn that nearly
all the building lumber imported by
Africa comes from the United States;
that Japan buys it. and that no other
lumber enters South American ports.
In Samoa four cents foot is paid for
rough Oregon pine and California red
wood. Hawaii, by letting American
lumber in free of duty and charging
ten per cent. duty on Canadian lumber
virtually prohibits the importation of
the latter. Consul Mills. of Honolulu.
reports that all the timber used there
comes from the United States. Even
the island Of New Caledonia prefers
pine from Washington. and pays about
twenty dollars for fifty-three cubic
feet. All the lumber used in Madeira
comes from Maine. North Carolina and
Nova Scotia; while Mexico and the
West Indies rely wholly upon the
United States. Australia buys mil
lion dollars worth every year, and
would take as much more if it could be
bought readily.
The great difficulty appears to be in
procuring the transport of the Ameri-
can wood Little is carried by Amer
lean ships. The principal rivals of this
country in the worlds lumber trade
are Canada and Norway, except in
England, where Russia and Germany
are competitors, and in Austria, which
is supplied by countries on the Medi-
terranean. Austria, however. gets her
slaves from the United States, as do
most of the other nations of Europe.
More lumber from the United States
than from Canada is used in Great
Britain Nearly all the spools are made
OF white birch of Maine. Even Oregon
timber reaches England. One patriotic
consul protests against selling Ameri-
can lumber in foreign countries, be-
cause it may ruin the forests of the
United States. 1t appears from most
consular reports that comparatively
few of the countries have wooden
houses on account of the great expense
of lumber, and that transporta ton ia
cilities alone prevent the substitution
of wood for stone and similar materi-
ais. This is generally the case in trop-
zeal countries, where the woods are too
hard to be profitably used for ordinary
construction. From a business point
of view it is shown that the American
export lumber trade is still in its infan-
| cy, though American timber is probably
more widely known than any other
product of this country.

She Pleased the Queen.

1t is said that Miss Majendie, who
has just received the much-coveted po-
sition of maid of honor to Queen Vic
toria, owes her good luck to mere
freak Of magnetic attraction. The
queen saw her for the first time when
she came to sing at the little Sunday
service arranged by Princess beatrice
at the Villa Fabbricotti, and was par
ticularly struck by her pleasant face
and sweet voice. 1t was with the ut
most surprise that the circle, as well as
the young lady herself, learned of the
honor designed for her.
