Wheels. In boat 70 feet long they would

under THE side of the vessel far out into
the water, and being held in place by
an upper deck, which surrounds the

series of BAN wheels, on which the ves-
sci runs while on land The side wheels
stick out so far from the sides that the

The British ship Lyderhorn sa.lsd for
Queenstown on August 6, after a long
stay of 1893 days in port. The~d4ys spent
in h.eness by This ship were more than
enough to make a voyage 10 any part
OF tine world, says THE Bulletin. That
PAPER then goes on to remark: "The ship
practically gained nothing by her stay
mere. She could have received as much
last january upon her arrival as she
hnally accepted, SO cher delay in get
ting away did not inure to her profit.
This is line last of the longtime vessels
In port. Since july /, 1894, a period of
thirteen months 1S4 vessels saEed from
phls port for Europe. Many of these
ships spent long time of idleness In
port, because of the difficulty of agreeing
on rates acceptable Ito shippers and the
cornering of wheat ON the part of SPEC
ulators, who refused to sell the same
at Its usual market value. While only
one of the ships of last years fleet was
here over 400 days, th5re were three here
over 800 days, but less than 400 DAYS:
fourteen more over 200 but less than 300
days, and thirty over 100 but under 200
days. On the other hand 26 of the 16O
vessels cleared in the dast cereal year
were in port 50 days and less, down
20 Is days, OF tine % vessels cleared
in July, 1895. one was here 313 days and
& mother go days The other 20 vessels
IN July had much better dispatch, one
getting away in Is and another in 10
days, while the longest time of any of the
others was 81 days. The average Of the
Y for July was 81 days. Deducting the
Two which were S13 and go days, the
average time in port of the other 20 was
4S15 days. The conditions for the leading
OF these twenty vessels were Of a normal
character. The vessels were engaged by
those who had tahe wheat TO put on board
end good dispatch was the result"

Any reader who desires to do so can
make very petty bonbon box. All that
is required is TO follow the directions
here reproduced from The Household:
Take square or oblong pasteboard
box that will hold a pound of candy.
Cut from pale rose shade Of Grape it's
sue paper strips the exact size of the
sides Of the box, both outside and in
side, long continuous strip for each
one, which meet at the top of the sides.
They are pasted to the box lightly at
different spots, joining them at one of
the back corners. For the cover cut three
triangular pieces of cardboard, two of
them, a and b, sufficiently long for the
apex to reach to the opposite sides, the
third, C, to fold over the other two as
the outside cover, the apex to reach just
outside Of the box.
Cut strip Of the Grape tissue paper
q inches wide, pull it out to form a
ruffie on one edge by drawing between
the thumb and forefnger and paste the
other edge around the three sides of
each triangle. Then cut triangular pieces
from the paper TO cover both sides of
each triangle, which must fit them ex-
actly when pasted in position, the frill
on the edge coming between. Cut three
small holes in one side of each triangle
where it is joined to the cover, with
corresponding holes in the top of three
sides Of the box, and attach the covers
to the box by means of Grape paper rib
bons, which are passed through the
holes and tied on the outside in
dainty little bows. These ribbons are
made by cutting narrow strips a quarter
of an inch in width from the Grape pa
per. a large bow made from a strip
inches wide is tackled to the outside
cover for an ornament.
