IS IA GASC0GNE SAFE?
Much Anxiety Felt for the
Steamers Safety.

sengcr! Aboard.
New York. Feb. Cup to an early
hour this morning +he French steamer
La Gascogne had not been sighted
She is now nearly three days over
due, as she should have arrived Sun
day morning.
AS the steamers OF this line come and
go like cNockwork, the impression gains
ground that she has met with some
kind of a mishap.
The fact that the White Star steam
er Runic. from Liverpool, and the
etherland-Amer!can liner Werken-
dam, from Rotterdam, have arrived
about on time tends to strengthen the
belief that La Gascogne has not had
plain sailing.
There are many things that might
tend to delay her that would not be
considered of a serious nature by mar
iners, and. while ii can hardly be said
that there is any apprehension as to
the big steamers safety, the friends of
those on board wouii gladly welcome
the news of her having been sighted
off this shore.
Has New Machinery.
La Gascogne used TO be an eight day
boat. but in May last she was over
hauled and new boilers were put into
her with the purpose of increasing her
power to that OF seven day boat
Her first trip with her new boilers
began on December % last, and the
trip from Havre to this port was made
in eight days.
That trip was her last westward
voyage undl her present one, which
She has not yet finished. and grave
fears that she has met with an acci-
dent at SEA are beginning to be enter
Gained by shipping men.
The weather reports brought by in
coming steamers do not indicate con-
diti0n of >aVerity which should retard
for three days over her regular time
ship like La GasCogne, and the the
ory advanced by steamship men in this
city. that the big steamers new ma
chinery has become deranged, or that
her boilers have proven Inadequate.
is gaining ground.
The Agent Believes She Is safe.
This Is not only a possibility but a
pr0ba bihty. and A. Forget. the com
pany's agent in this city, said yester-
day that the long delay was undoubt-
edly due to that cause.

He Was EXnerienced.

What wonder that Harold Hustleton
was proud and happy. Had he not won
the heart and hand of the fairest and
loveliest girl in the whole worldp
Harold could scarcely believe in his
good luck. And as he sat by her side
and watched the evening star glimmer-
ing family above the orange flush
which marked where the gun bad sunk
behind the hills, he felt moved to ask
her the fourteenth question of the Low
er's Catechism, i. e., How had it hap
pened that she has chosen him out of
all the men in her wide circle of &C.
quaintances TO be responsible for her
future happiness?"
"Surely she must have known better
fellows than he was" he urged, "rich-
er and handsomer and more athletic.
Why had she chosen him?"
"Oh, Harold, you mustn't be too
modest" replied Ada, as she gently
pushed back the hair from his forehead.

none of my other friends possess. You

you are simply an ideal lover"

Paper Socks.

The day of the paper collars passed
away some years ago, and, though pa
per is used today in many more forms
than were ever dreamed of a few de.
cades back, this cheap article of haber-
dashery has almost disappeared from
the market. But there is promise that
it will have a worthy successor in the
paper stock, says Shoe and Leather
Factory which is the latest novelty to
be ground out of the pulp mill. The me-
chanism has been perfected to produce
a paper yarn of such consistency that
it is capable of being woven into fab.
RIGS soft enough to wear. A special
merit is the cheapness Of this newly
devised material, socks being produced
at a retail price of about three cents a
pair. At this rate there is no reason
why the whole world may not be sup
piled with foot coverings. At three
cents a pair the bachelors life will be-
come gladstone and happy.
1t is said that substances can be used
in the preparation of this material to
make the socks SO impersious to water
that they can stand several washings
before falling apart. This, too, is a
great boon. May the three cent paper
sock have a ready market. May it be
followed by a ten cent paper shoe.

A Town OF Bleached Blondes,

Every man. woman and child who
lives at Point San Pedro, in Marion
County, is a bleached blonde. Even
the chickens, dogs, horses, cats, pigs
and geese are a bright yellow. The
whole place looks as if it were suffer-
ing from an attack of ~jaundice. This
peculiar condition of affairs is due to
to the chemicals used in the powder
factory at that place. The company
is engaged in the manufacture of a
yellow smokeless powder that is diff
ferent from anything in the explosive
line ever put on the market before. A
robust, rudy checked young man will
90 to work in the factory and in a week
he will look as if he had had the iaun-
dice for months. The changed appear
ance is a shock to the friends of the
workmen who are ignorant of the cause
and it is weeks before the natural color
comes back TO his face. In three days
a white dog will be the color of an
orange, and in three months his color
will fade to a light canary.-San Fran
cisco Post.
