AS TO
AMERICAN
SHIPS.

1--o 1t ~ to be remelmDer-
AZ TO cd that the English
IL'1pG challengers for the
- Americas cup are
under the disadvantage OF being obliged
to build a yacht which can be safely nav
Igated across the ocean. The designers
OF the Defender were not under that
necessity. They could consequently
build q boat for speed rather than sea-
worthiness. The Valkyrie is q splendid
specimen OF the ship builders art, and
her inability to carry back the Americas
cup to the old country is nothing to her
discredit. While all this interest in
~yacht-racing does not affect very direct
ly the practical question OF the return OF
the Emitted States to the sea, it has GER
tain Statutory bearings in that direction.
1t is helping to educate a group OF skilful
naval architects and designers, while it
is also promoting the love for good sea
manship which in earlier days was SO
characteristic OF the United States. 1t is
interesting to note the fact that the
Herreshoffs, who are the designers and
builders OF our fastest yachts, are to
build "a number OF torpedo boats for the
United States government. The ship
building art and industry show signs O
very rapid expansion in America, anC
the yachting enthusiasm is at least
minor factor in this desirable develop
ment. There are now a number Of ship
yards in this country which are able tt
construct large and fine ocean-goins
vessels, whether men-of-war or merchant
men. 1t is confidently hoped that japan
will place orders in American shipyard
for several of her new proposed new
vessels.-From "The Progress OF tn

"vENUS" AND VICTORY"

How These Treasures of the Louvre
Impressed an American Woman.
A New York woman, an art lover, is
spending her first winter in Paris, and
how some of the old world art is seen
through her new world eyes she tells in
a recent letter, says the New York
Times: paris, April Z. To the
new world come among the art treas
Mres of this part Of the old world, it is
the marbles rather than the paintings
to which the soul responds. With the
first headless muse, whose flesh still
throbs after hundreds of years through
the draperied masses OF her thin Gre
clan robe, is established a bond which
strengthens with almost every step
through the marble-lined Galerie of the
Palais du Louvre. 1t is bond of the
winged Victory and the fulfllment OF
the Venus of Milo. No statue in all the
world perhaps stands SO irresistibly for
the message of Womanhood as does this
Venus. From her beautiful throat, her
nobly set head and her sweet and gra-
cious mouth to her yielding but perfect
ly poised body, and her firmly set foot,
she speaks woman-the love, beauty,
honor, sincerity, protection, fulfillment
of true womanhood. AS you look
through long vista Of marble-set halls
and for the first time see the eVnus
awaiting you at the end with her calm.
hopeful smile, and as she draws nearer
until you have come to the salon re-
served in simple entirety for her breath
ing self, you know that she has been
waiting for you through the centuries.
and that to see her is why you have
come across all the miles of sea and
land. She breathes and smiles as you
look at her. and her eyes that have been
telling their secret for ages look into
yours and bid you read. They tell you
that the hand of her fashioner, some
young. hopeful enthusiast, some in
spired master of his loved art, put, all
unknowing perhaps, his very heart into
this master creation Of early Greece
and of the whole world. What matters
though he be unknown? To see the
Venus is to know that he has not lived
in vain, since it is his heart, speaking
through time and the half century that
she has dwelt among us, that has won
the homage of every one coming under

INTELLIGENT SWALLOWS.
Observations OF an Ornithologist on the
Actions of the Bird.

Actions of the Bird.
DR.. f. H. Knowlton of the Smithson-
ian institution has published an ac-
count of observations made on the hab-
Its of the common cave or cliff swallow,
which show that this bird possesses a
remarkable degree of intelligence. Fave
swallows, as is we'll known, usually Sc
1ect the caves of a building for their
nesting site, and sometimes as many
as a hundred nests may be observed
under one projection. DR.. Knowlton's
observations are as follows: Within my
collecting grounds is a shed open only
on one side, where for many years cliff
swallows have attached their nests to
the sleepers of the loft. In the spring
of 1878 they returned, as usual, and
soon began repairing old nests or build
ing new ones. One day it was noticed
that one bird remained in her half-fin-
ished nest, and did not appear to be
much aged. Soon neighbor, own
ing a nest few feet away, arrived with
a fresh pellet of clay, and after adjust
ing it in a satisfactory manner flew
away for more. No sooner was she out
Of sight than the quiet bird repaired to
the neighbours nest, appropriated the
nest! When the plundered bird returned
no notice was taken of the theft, which
was repeated as soon as she was again
out Of sight. These movements were
repeated many times, with the result
that the nest of the stay-at-home bird
grew apace! In the same place a nest
remained undisturbed, and was occu-
pied by probably the same pair Of birds
for several seasons. One spring they re-
turned and all appeared prosperous, I'M
til one day it was noticed that num-
Der of swallows were engaged in wall
ing up the entrance to this old nest.
This work, as we'll as the outline Of
new nest over the old, was soon COM
pleted. The closed nest was then brok
en- open and within was found the dead
body of swallow. The bird had prob
ably died a natural death, and the
friends, being unable to remove the body
and knowing that it would soon become
offensive, adopted this method of seal
ing 1t up.

make homes? Then do away with all

dividuals, but all work together for a
common prosperity and mutual bene-
fit. Wake up, rub your eyes, roll up

POVERTY IN IRELAND.
Twelve Children, the Parents and Pigs,
Sleep Together.

Sleep Together.
It consists Of two rooms and possibly
small, semi-detached clubhouse which
is used for a storeroom for perishable
articles, says the Cornhill Magazine.
There is not a chink in the walls or
thatch save a narrow chimney which
seldom if ever answers it's purpose. The
doorway faces the east and emits the
smoke. What little light penetrates in
side through the tiny window discloses
the deep, chocolate stain from the eter-
nal turf-reek which pervades the at
mosphere of the interior, and literally
paints walls, roof and furniture a uni
form color. The furniture is rough and
also scanty, a few stools atoning for
the occasional complete absence of
chairs. The mud floor is always more or
less wet from the patter of the chill
dren's bare feet or from the animals
which have free access to the house.
At night there is a goodly company
within the walls of this spacious man
sion. In the inside room there are two
or three box beds or berths, where the
children sleep, according to their age
and sex; from nine to twelve is not an
uncommon number in a family. In the
state berth in the calliogh, or recess at
the side of the hearth, the father and
mother repose unscreened from the live
stock of the farm, and breathe the same
atmosphere as some eight quadrupeds,
besides the poultry. Pigs, cattle, dogs,
cats, and probably a horse or donkey,
have their bed space, respectively, and
jealousy resent any encroachment by
a bed-fellow. Astonishing as it may APP
pear, there are hardly any disagree
able odors.

BOLD HIGHWAYMEN.
People Held Up on the Road Between Ra-
cine and Kenosha.
(Racine Journal. J

Are there two bold highwayman
operating on theroad between this city
and Kenosha? The experience of
several Racine people while en- route
for home at night would indicate that
such is the case. A few weeks since,
Mr.. Olson and a Young lady were driy-
ing home. Two men sprang from the
roadside and while one grasped the
horse by the head the other endeav-
ored to secure Mr.. Olson's watch, but
he dashed his horse and escaped. Not
long after a man named johnson was
stopped by two men and they relieved
him Of 16 cents, all the money he had,
and ordered him to proceed upon his
way. Wednesday night Peter Jensen,
mechanic, accompanied by lady,
visited Kenosha. They were on the
road home at IL O'Clock when stopped
by two men who demanded that the
young man hand over his watch and
chain and other valuables. Jensen's
horse was n high spirited one and he
clipped the animal with the whip and
he broke into a run and left the two
robbers behind and they yelled and
fired gun. A number of Kenosha
citizens also complain Of having been
stopped by the same two chaps. 1t is
always at a point six miles south Of
this city that they appear.

IT WOULD PAY.
For Some One To Buy Steam Yacht For
Public Pleasure and Personal Profit.

The question of steamboat service
for Kenosha has been discussed until
there is danger of it becoming chest
nut, but an opportunity is here pre-
sented for some one OF party or per-
sons to secure a steam yacht with a
carrying capacity of 100 passengers at
a price so low as to make the invest
ment a paying one and at the same
time give Kenoshaites an opportunity
to enjoy lake Michigan and it's delight
full breeZes. Let some one purchase
one of the boats described herewith
and then say make two round trips
daily to Racine or Waukega1 and then
an evening sail on the LAKE at % cents
a head, and good paying business
might be worked up. These boats re-
ferred to are the same that were in use
at the worlds fair, (not the electric
launches) and are practically new.
They are now owned by the Marine
Iron works Of Chicago, and in a letter
to DR.. Pennoyer Of this city who has
made some inquiry, they write as fol-
lows:
CHICAGO, July 70, 1895.
DR.. N. Il. PeN2aOyer, Kemosh0, WIS:
DEAR SIR:-In reply to your favor of
Goth inst, regarding the 50x1O1 feet
excursion steam yachts, would say that
there are now four of these left unsold;
these are at our yard and in excellent
condition, having been in use only six
months, and then in charge of efficient
and careful men.
We will give you your choice of these
yachts, fitted out all complete, in COM
mission and in the water at our dock
with steam up for twenty-six hundred
dollars ($2,600) net cash. They cost
nearly double that sum to build, and
are very safe, seaworthy boats.
AS regards crew, there should be
three in total, i. e.: captain, engineer
and deck hand, the aggregate pay of
which would average about S. per day,
while the cost of fuel (one-half ton for
ten hours run if hard coal is used)
would figure about $3.50; allow fifty
cents for oil and waste supplies, ETC.,
you have total of So per day.
This is where the boat is to be used
for general business purposes on the
same waters, but for private purposes
there would be no such expense for
men, as the boat is under ten ions, and
therefore special could be secured by
anyone of intelligence to take charge
of the boat. Such special license, how
ever, is not given where a boat is to be
used for carrying passengers or freight
for pay. The law is quite explicit on
this point, and very reasonable.
We would be pleased to have you
call and inspect the steam yachts
g Arabia" and Austria" which are
considered as the choice of the entire
fleet.
