LOVES YOUNG DREAM.

Enjoyment of 1t Was Shared by Inter
ested Outsiders.
In certain hotel parlor in Indian
apolis there is a dear little couch in a
coy spot just fitted for lovers tete-a-
tetes, and pretty girl and her best
beau have discovered it. When she
mediately repair to the parlor and sit
arm around her neck and whispers airy
things to her, pats her shoulder, ruff1ea
her tresses and finally imprints not one,
ruby lips. Sometimes he forgets to stop
for several minutes. Then when he is
exhausted from his efforts she settles
herself closer to him, and when nothing
can be seen of him behind her big hat,
big sleeves and full skirt save his point
ed tan shoes, she takes a hand in the
caressing. Are they alone? Well, hard
1y. The hard-hearted hotel proprietor,
who ought to get his deserts some time,
has so arranged his plate glass mir
rors that the couch is plainly visible
from a pier glass on one of the stair
landings. Here first one bell boy and
then another stands and takes notes.
Then they giggle and go for the cham
bermaids. The girls come and take
envious peeps until the sound of the
ladies coming from lunch make them
scurry. The ladies, too, stop on the
landing and enjoy loves young dream,
and all the time the pretty girl and her
beau have no idea that there could be a
soul mean enough to spy upon them.
But the mirror should be moved.

is possessed in America by the Bethle-
hem Iron works only, and its managers
purchased the process, which is unpat-
ented, for cool 81, 900, 900 in England,
it's said, and propose to keep it a secret
as long as possible.
Notwithstanding the fact that hol-
low shafts cannot be forged at Cramps
the yards and shops there abound with
wonders, such as the great floating der
rick that can lift the heaviest boiler ever
made as easily as you can pick up an
apple, the locomotive crane, the won
derful hydraulic apparatus of various
sorts by which great masses Of cold iron
are easily and accurately bent and shap-
ed. One of the most interesting opera
tions have ever witnessed at Cramps
is the bending of the steel ribs of mod
ern ships. This work is done at what is
known as E'the furnace. " The floor of
this place is of iron, honeycombed with
square holes. The ribs are surprisingly
small and are either L bars, 2 bars or
channel bars of not more than an inch
in thickness and from to z inches in
dimensions, the channel bars of the lin
ers, the largest frames used, being only
by inches. Wooden patterns of ex-
actly the shape to which the ribs are to
be bent are furnished to the furnace
foreman, who chalks the shape upon the
iron floor. Then iron pegs are put into
the holes along the inner edge of the
chalked pattern, the ribs are heated
cherry red, and dozen men with queer
looking tools seize the slender looking
bars and quickly bend them to the re-
CURED curves.
It is fun, too, to watch the big cleo
trio drill boring holes in boiler she'll
for the rivets that are to hold the parts
of the shell together in spite of the ire
mendous pressure now carried in the
boilers of ocean going boats. The cut
presented with this may fail to give an
idea of the size of the machine, but it
will be gathered perhaps from the rela-
tive size Of the men upon and near the
drill in the picture and the statement
that the drill standard is Is OF 30 feet
high.
The Cramp yards employ from 4. 500
to 5000 men, and the weekly pay roll
is about $50, 900. If there be any who
more than Charles H. Cramp himself are
hoping for Ugh speed from the st. Louis
and St. Paul, it is these workmen.

ditions that followed the great struggle
of 1865, one of the most important
factors in the disappearance of the Other
yards in Philadelphia and the general
decline of the industry this side of the
Atlantic was the change of material
from wood to iron, and later to steel
and the substitution of steam for sail
as the propelling power. To the great
changes in these things Cramps yards
were the first fully to adapt themselves.
Some of the Maine yards finally accept
ed the situation only year or two ago,
and many other building establishments
have been almost equally slow. When
the real significance of the change is un.
derstood, it is not surprising that there
was hesitation. As a matter of cold fact,
none but a practical shipbuilder can
understand this, but some notion may
be gained from the statement that ii
involved the discarding of almost every
woodworking tool and machine in the
entire establishment and the substitu-
ton of tools and machines for the work
ing of iron and steel The expense Of
such a substitution must have been very
great, even in comparatively small
yards, but in reality it was less impor-
tant perhaps than the necessary substi-
tuition Of new skill for the old. Not only
had the adj to be supplanted by the
blacksmith hammer, the saw and the
plane by the rolling mill and the n.y.
draulic press, and the sailmaker' needle
by the engine builders machinery, but
trained iron workers had to displace
trained woodworkers, unless the latter
could learn the newly required craft.
The inconvenience and occasionally &C.
tua1 hardship suffered by the men were
keen, though by the world at large little
noted, as indeed are most sufferings
from readjustments due to improve
ments.
It was originally the aim of the
Cramps to produce every part Of their
ships upon their own premises, and for
this reason they added the engine build
ing department and later the ordnance
shop, but it is not now possible for them
to make nearly everything they use.
Most of the ships frames, for instance,
come TO them ready rolled and cut and
have only TO be bent to form at Cramps 3.
The plates also come all cut, needing
only to be shaped These things it is
considered more economical to buy per-
haps, but there is one big purchase made
of necessity for every steamer nowadays
that the Cramps and probably every 9th
er shipbuilder in America would gladly
make for himself if he could, and fo1
the secret Of making which he would be
willing to pay right handsomely. Now.
adays the shafts are forged hollow, be-
cause hollow shafts are much stronger
than solid ones, according to weight.
But the ability to make these forgingf

Cornelius Vanderbilt as Coaehman.

Mrs. Emily T. Y. Sloane, mother of the
young lady whose wedding brought the
plutocrats of the country together the 9TH
er day, is very charitably inclined. She
determined some time last week to send
package of clothes to the poor fund of DR..
John Halls Fifth avenue Presbyterian
parish. Accordingly she had the garments
done up in nice bundle and was arrang-
ing the finalities Of the transaction with
one of her servants when her brother, Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, arrived at the house
and sent word that he must see her at
once.
Cant you wait a moment?'' she asked.
81 am anxious to send this bundle down
to DIR. Halls church.
ooh" replied Cornelius Vanderbilt, 81
am going right by the church on my way
down. Give me your bundle, and 1 will
let the sexton have it"
Mrs. Sloane was very grateful for this
kind offer, and it is in every way charac-
teristic of the man of millions, who is
never so happy as when an opportunity to
be useful presents itself. So down Fifth
avenue walked brother Cornelius, bundle
in arm, and when he reached the church
he found the sexton there. The latter re-
ceived the object thankfully, with many
words of appreciation Of the kindness of
the great lady who had remembered the
needs of the church.
Not many days after this Mrs. Sloane
herself, on coming out of church amid a
fashionable concourse, happened to espy
the sexton.
'John," said sbe s'did you get that
bundle 1 sent you the other day?"
"Yes'm,'' was the cheerful reply; ''youI

iTALY's BROTHERS OF MERCY.
Members of the Misericordia. Whose
Duty Tt Is to Attend the Dead.

Members of the MisericOrdia. Whose
Duty 1t Is to Attend the Dead.
There is a society in Italy called the
Misericordia - Brothers of Mercy
whose duty it is to attend to the dying
and the dead. Many of the members
belong to the aristocracy, and they are
as prompt to answer the call for aid as
the humblest member. At the sound of
the summoning bell, no matter how
they are employed-at a marriage
feast, a christening or with the grave
and important duties of life-they
must leave all and hasten to the church
to present themselves at the oratory Of
the MiSericordfa. Here they change
their garments and put on long, black
robes, with peaked hoods over their
heads and faces, their eyes alone WISH
bic through two holes cut in the cowl
They form themselves into pairs ac-
cording to their height, and, raising the
black-covered litter, walk forth with
even, rapid steps and in perfect si-
lence. The member present who hap
pens to be highest in rank in the hier-
archy of the order acts as captain.
Should there be need Of last hurried
shrift for the dying, it is the duty of the
captain to prepare this-the crucifix,
the candle, the breviary and holy oil.
These large linen sheets and a counter
pane are also taken to wrap about and
conceal from view of the curious the
dead or dying. The dexterity, as we'll as
the gentleness, with which the broth
ers of the Misericordia handle their
charges is often commented on.

Ba1lade of Forgotten Loves.

Some poets sing of sweethearts dead,
Some sing of true loves far away,
Some sing of those that others wed
And some of idols turned to clay.
I sing pensive roundelay
To sweethearts Of doubtful lot,
The passions vanished in a day,
The little loves that I've forgot.
For, as the happy years have sped
And golden dreams have changed to gray,
How oft the flame of love was fed
By glance or smile from Maud or May,
When wayward Cupid was at play,
Mere fancies formed of who knows what2
But still my debt I ne'er can pay
The little loves that I've forgot.
Oh, joyous hours forever hedl
Oh sudden hopes that would not stayi
Held only by the slender thread
OF memory that's all sstray.
Their very names I cannot say.
Times will is done-I know them not:
But blessings on them all, pray
The little loves that I've forgot.
ENVOY.
Sweeeheart, why foolish fears betrayf
Ours is the one true lovers knot.
Note well the burden Of my lay
