THAT NEW CUP DEFENDER.
Preparations and Arrangements for
the Building of Islin's
New Boat.

New Boat.
BRISTOL, r. l., January 3l.-Al-
though little more is definitely
known about the Islin syndicate
I cup defender, than that she will be
in bronze on steel frames, it is
reasonably certain that Nat Here
soft will be her designer, and will
be on her in her preliminary rae,
ing, in the tria! races and in the
cup races as he was on the Vigil
liant. 1t is understood that pro-
vision for his services in this di-
reCtiOn is made in the contract, but
that before binding him to such an
agreement Mr.. Heresotf stipulated
that he should have full charge Of
the boat, so far as alterations or
| needed changes in trim or sails
were concerned. His sailing of the
Nigilant in the trial and cup races,
Is well remembered here and I'M.
doubtedly the arrangement which
suited Mr.. lslin then, is perfectly
agreeable to him now. In the
meantime the work Of preparation
for building the new boat is be-
ing pushed as rapidly as possible.
The south shop will be cleared by
the speedy launch OF the J. B.
HeresOff steamer and the early
completion Of the German 20-rater.
The keel of the new boat can then
be stretched and the work of actual
construction begun. The lines Of
the boat are now being lain down
preparatory to the making out of
the moulds for the frames, etc.

CHOOSING PARTNERS.
Several Clever Ways of Matching Play.

Several Clever Ways of Matching Play.
 CTS at n Card Party.
 At a progressive euchre party the other night the ladies were asked to go into an adjoining room and partners were put up at auction. The clever auctioneer mentioned the qualifica- tions of the unseen article as "a man who is both witty and wise and skill full at cards;" or Here have one who, though elegant and agreeable, some- times trumps his partners aces" It was as noisy as stock exchange for a few moments, and after once being awakened a company never relapses into that state stigmatized as dull.
 At recent charming private enter tainment dainty baskets containing lit tie packages wrapped in tissue paper were passed and were found to contain little stick pins, those having similar ones beginning the game together, while the consolation" prizes were small heads of cabbage scooped out, lined with pale pink tissue paper filled with candies, then put together and tied with pink ribbons.
 Another unique method of securing partners is by little rhymes written on a slip of paper, folded compactly and placed in peanut shells, which are then tied with ribbons and passed to the gentlemen.-GoodH Housekeeping.

TIE GIRLS ROOM.

one corner of our sitting room we have a most beautiful divan with two steps ascending to the high, triangular couch, like this"-sketching rapidly an srtistic-looking lounge. The pile of cushions that you see to the right conceals little door, and in the space under the divan we keep our kitchen table (which has legs that fold up, our gas stove, our sheet of asbestos for the table, another one of oil cloth for the fioor and our cooking utensils. It does not take minute to pull these out and arrange our kitchen which, when in working order, occupies the space of a
 medinm-sized rug. Our crockery, which Is of blue and white Delft, we keep in a corner cupboard, and consider it quite an aesthetic addition to our room. Washing our dishes and getting rid of su2erRuOus food were our chief difficult ties at first; but soon we had arranged it beautifully. We scraped all the de- bris into blue and white umbrella stand, which is much prettier than a pail, and which the maid who does our rooms takes away and washes. In this way oRr meals cost us exactly s1 per day, our table d'hote dinner at very nice restaurant being 50 cents each. My rooms and meals therefore cost me just s11 per week. Last summer spent four months at summer art school at the Shinnecock shore, where my board amounted to only sS per week; this added to my winter ex- penses brought my board and lodging to exactly s513. I allow for my dress $500, and have s3S7 left for extras-not much, admit, but I hope to supple ment it now by earning a little some thing for myself In the meanwhile l am very happy, and do not envy the richer girls who live unemployed lives at home without any responsibility"

GOOD FOR ENGLAND.
The Democratic Tarin Boon to Engiish Manufacturers.


 Manufacturers.
 The German tariff, as was confi- dently anticipated, has proved to be a veritable boon to English manufac- turers. In spite of the prevailing de- pression in the commercial world, Eng fish exports to the United States are increasing. The exports for January, 1894, were e965, 5,63o, against 91,97S, ,131 for January, 1895.
 It may be interesting to notice some of the items of increase. In beer and ale the larger shipments this year were worth over $35, 1000 more than in January of last year. In spirits the in crease was more than Sl5,000. Of raw wool we bought to the extent Of S90O,- GOO more of the product of foreign countries, which is at the rate of over S1O,000, 900 a year sent out of the coun- try for wool purchased. In cotton piece goods the increase was S3s5, ,oOo; in jute goods, S20o,0o0; linen goods, S65O,000; silk goods, S10,000; woolen tissues, S475, ,0OO; worsted tissues, over g., ,OO0 GOO; carpets, Ss5,0o0; hardware and cutlery, S30, 900 for the month; lead | and its manufactures, SS,000; textile machinery, SlO0,OO0; haberdashery and millinery, 9,000; earthenware, china and pottery, an increase of Sl36, 900 for the one month, without mentioning smaller amounts.
 It is apparent that the longer this law remains on the statute books, the better it will be for our English cous- ins, for the American people can only consume a fixed amount, and it is ob- vious that an increase of importation of English goods is bound to diminish American production.
 At any rate British trade is booming, while that of the United States shows little sign of improvement. As indicat- | ing the change that has been wrought later is the report of Mir. Fancy, the United States consul at Belfast, who says that since the passage of tb.e | Wilson-Gorman act the trade of thnt place, which had shrunk to almost noth. ing, shows marked signs of improve ment. Included in the report is tle following extract from n report of the Belfast board of trade: Since the paes- age of the new tariff law in the Unitod States business has improved and tile demand is now equal to what it was at any time in the past five years. It is not generally known that England's commerce with 65,OOo, 900 people under the stars and stripes amounts to quite as much as her trade with the 36s, ,OO0,' 900 under the British flag. America is therefore, the best friend of Englisa commerce."
 This tells story which will be easi' ly understood by American working men and business men.-Albany JouL

VALUE OF AMMONIA.
As Q Cleansing Agent Around the House
 It Has No Equal.


 Ammonia is one of the finest cleans. ing agents we have. And it is great assistant in the way of clearing and brightening up. The colors of faded oilcloth may be somewhat brought back to their original color by using sponge saturated with ammonia. Never use soap, as 1t fades it terribly. A few drops of ammonia in the water while cleaning the paint will be found a great help; it cuts the dirt and grease imme- diately. A tablespoonful of ammonia thrown into the water while rinsing glass will greatly brighten and polish it. Lace curtains and tidies may be beautifully cleaned by using hot water with large percentage of ammonia in it. Allow them to soak, using but lit- tie soap, and that the best. Squeeze out the water carefully and hang in place where they will dry quickly. But before hanging them up they should all be pulled out, for in just the way they are hung, just so they will dry. It is also very good to sprinkle some in your bath. The kind you buy from drug gists will clean underwear, sillSen and woolen finely, also chamois, and will save endless rubbing. It is found eX- cellent in cleaning brass ornaments; it should first be applied with small brush that comes expressly for the pur- pose, and then polished off with 8 woolen rag. It will whiten piano keys so that they will look like new. Boil ing water, made very strong with am- monia and applied with a small brush or whisk broom, will clean willow or cane-seat chairs. Baskets may be cleaned in similar fashion. The prints the raindrops have made, and dirt and dust may be cleaned like magic from the windows by applying ammonia.
 A friend of mine makes an excellent wash by using the following: Melt sew eral bars of soap (according to the wash, in this you must use your own judg- ment), add one cup or cups of boraX, one cupful of saltpetre, then add six ounces of concentrated ammonia. It is well to make a large quantity to set away in bottles for future use. This will be found excellent, especially for washing that which is very dirty, as mems overalls, grocer's or butchers aprons or underclothing.-

SuruIua SuuRndered.

It appears that a surplus of more than S2,OOO,O00 a month under Presi- dent Harrison has been changed to a deficit of S4,0O0,000 a month under President Cleveland. During President Harrison's term the average annual re- duction of the public debt was S5s, ,OOO,- 900. Under President Cleveland the public debt has been increased by the average of $sl 100000 yearly. The av- craze monthly receipts under the Will son tariff law are S22 100000. The Me Kinley law brought in S29,O0O, ,o0O monthly. Other figures bring out still more clearly the poor financiering of the Cleveland administration. If the loss through depressed business is taken into consideration the burden which lies at the door of democratic management becomes unprecedented in the history of government,--Troy l Tunes.

DOMINIC THE VEIL.
An Accomplishment Possessed by Hut
 Few American Women.

An Accomplishment Possessed by Hut
 Few American Women.
 It is an accomplishment worth &C., quiring in these days when American women are almost as universally yelled as the beauties of the orient, to put one's veil on successfully-that is, so that the hair is held securely in posi- ton, the veil itself does not droop be- low the hat brim at any point and neither hangs loose nor draws across the face, rendering wink kinconvenient and the nose . martyr to the tickling sensation which every wearer of 6 veil knows. Half the beauty of the veil, or, more strictly, the enhancement of beauty which the veil gives, is due to the way 1t Is put on. Worse than no veil at all Is the veil put on before the bonnet is assumed, as one fashion writer recom- mends. The filing meshes, pressed closely against the face and hair, leave no room for the charming, illusory eff feet which is the veil's chief "excuse for being.n The first requirement in a veil is that it shall be of unstinted size, double width, unless 1t is to be worn with very small bonnet, yard long, 50 that it may be gathered up in gener- ous folds over the hat brim and pinned "a veil should never be tied-wen up at the back of the hat. A better fit and a prettier effect is given by little cluster of gathers directly in the middle ofthe front. It is to be hoped that women will some time learn that veils figured with sprigs, or, in deed, anything but unobtrusive dots are never becoming, and make them look, as a man was heard to remark the other day, "as if their faces were cov- cred with flies. s."-Philadelphia Times.
