A Good idea About skirts.

Now that the dress skirts are so very
full, they are of necessity much heav-
Ter than they used to be. but still they
are worn fastened about the waist,
with all the weight hanging from the
hips, and women go about wondering
why they feel SO tired and n walk
more. Simply for this reason: that
their skirts are too heavy to be worn
in that way, and should hang from the
shoulders. To accomplish this, attach
the skirt to a waist made of thin cam
brio, fastening in the back with thee
or four buttons, without slc .es and
with a low neck. In this way it will not
seem clumsy under the dress waist,
and yet will relieve that heavy, drag
ging ~sense.son of the skirt fastened
around the waist. In a case where the
skirt is worn over a waist with a belt,
sew hooks on the inner side OF h skirt
band and corresponding eyes on the
waist, and again you have the weight
hanging practically from the shout
ders. Both suggestions may be put
TO trial with good effect in this present
style of dress, where the skirts are SO
full and SO much lined.-Ladies' World.

Expenditures on account of the navy
last year amounted to S26, 262,155, of
which $6,974,4 35 was paid for the con-
gtrRction Of new ships, the other prin-
cipal item OF expenditure being $751;
494, 1862 for maintenance Of the estab-
lishment, Of which $7,091,9O was re-
CURED by the ships in commission. The
cruiser New York was the most expen-
;sive vessel to run, costing $412,S07 for
the twelve months. The Columbia and
Minneapolis consumed 100000 each;
but when the big battle ships have been
q year in operation they promise to ex.
coed these figures. Over $11 200, 900
worth of stores have been kept on hand
with q great saving over the old system
of indlscriminate purchases, corrected
by Secretary Whitney. The naval clint
ing factory has to be considerably en-
'larged, owing to the growing demands
upon it, all clothing being now made
there for the navy, the revenue cutter
service, and the naval militia. The esti-
mated value Of real estate improve
ments and machinery in the navy yards
is placed at $50, 900, 900. During the year
nearly 100000 was paid for labor.

THE MOST USEFUL METAL.

Steel rails were first used for rail-
ways at Chalk Farm, near London, in
1862.
The hot blast was introduced into
furnace use sometime between 1882 and
1888.
A large part Of the finest iron and
steel of commerce is made from mag
netic ores.
A chemical authority states that sill
icon, as well as carbon, renders iron
more fusible.
1t is said that the fra cannon cast
in the United States was made at Hag-
erstown, Md.
The iron deposited by the galvanic
battery is grayish white and takes a
beautiful polish.
Mulhall says the United States pro-
duces one-third of the steel manufac-
tured in the world.
Ships built Of steel are said to be
able to carry twenty per cent more
freight than those of iron.
The Bessemer method of manufac-
turing iron and steel was patented
by Henry Bessemer Oct. II and Dec.
8, 1866, and Feb. IL, 1856.
Iron is the only metal which appears
in more than one color. It is found Of
every shade, from almost white as
silver to as black as charcoal.
In July, 1867, an inventor named
William Robinson, announced the dis
covery Of short and cheap method for
making wrought iron from cast iron.
The tensile strength of Austrian gun
iron is 10000 to $4,000 pounds per
square inch; of Russian, $1,000 pounds,
and of Swedish, about $4,000 pounds.
The timing of iron, or what is now
called galvanizing, was invented by
some unknown artisan Of Bohemia,
and was introduced into England IN
