Concerning the approaching regatta

many gasoline boats owned in your
vicinity? II is understood that Brig
adler General Harrington. OF the Pillar
Rock Canning Co. has boat that he
thinks will carry the broom in speed
contest. although 1t was built. not for
speed, but for freighting purposes The
brigadier general also offers to handi-
cap his craft in extra weight, by being
aboard himself II the race is made.
BY all means let the committee get
the numerous fellows who think "thelrs
is the best" out in a friendly speed
contest at the regatta, as It will add
much to the interest OF the occasion.

DUN's REPORT.
The Commercial outlook Continues
Dlscouraging.

New York. August AR. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly Review Of Trade tomor-
row will say: An extraordinary spell
OF deadly heat which affected trade
throughout the country and the specu-
lative feeling was a small affair until
Thursday by the apprehension Of pos
sIble influence OF the Bryan meeting.
With cooler weather. there came also
on Thursday a perception that
the meeting would not affect
business unfavorably. But 9TH
er conditions were not stlmu-
lating. According 10 the government
reports the crops have sustained no
serious injury. Extended labor dim
culties and the closing Of establish
ments for want OF work with the re-
fusal Of commercial loans by the banks
checked operations in many branches
OF Industry and trade. The week
therefore closed as last week did, with
domestic business unusually dull for
the season.

A Quality Most Desired.
From Harpor's Round Tahle

1auIe
Among the qualities most to be desired
in a young girls character Is high sense
Of honor. l wish could impress on every
reader the need of being always above
everything petty or small, so that one
would not, for a single moment, ever be
tempted to do a mean or underhand thing,
to speak unkindly of a friend, or to repeat
a conversation which was confidential.
1t may happen to you. for instance, to
be visiting In the home Of a relative or
friend, where there may be little friction
at the table, or where some anxiety arises
about the course Of a member of the fam
ty. No matter what you see or hear, in
such circumstances, you are bound, If you
are an honorable person, to be silent about
1t, neither making comments nor looking
as If you could tell something II you chose
nor in any way alluding to what is un-
pleasant, at any future time. A guest in
a home cannot be too careful to guard the
good name of those under it's roof, for 1t
is an honor to be a guest, In the first place,
and honor is demanded in return.
Again, nice sense of honor in matters
connected with money is very important.
Polly Is treasurer of q society, and has
the care of the funds. She must never, for
an instant. or In an emergency, lend these
her own use. 1 knew a girl-Polly was
her name, by the way-who was induced,
being treasurer of a certain guild, to lend
her brother, for one day. the money she
had in her care. The brother was older
than Polly. and a very persuasive person.
He said: why should you hesitate? I'll
bring it back to you tonight, and 1t will
oblige me very much II l can take that
fifty dollars and pay a bill l owe before
noon today Foolish Polly permitted her
scruples to be oyerruled. The money was
not brought back. and but for her fathers
kindness in making it good, she would
have been disgraced as a dishonest treas
urer. She told me long afterward that the
lesson had been burned in her mind never
to take liberties with money which she
held in trust"

THE COST OF wARsHIPs.
Expensive Models of Various Kinds q
Craft In the Royal Institution.

Expensive Models of Various Kinds Of
Craft In the Royal Institution.
From Leisure Hour.
In the museum Of the Royal United Ser
wee Institution. now appropriately placed
at the banQueting house in Whitehall, is q
capital collection Of MODELS, which, besides
the great models Of the battles of Trafalgar
and Waterloo, includes a few remarkably
good examples of ancient and modern ships
Of war. These ship models have recently
been increased by the addition Of one of
H. M. 8. Powerful, which is claimed to be
the most perfect example of modelling in
existence, and is said to have cost $500.
There is nothing incredible in this, for Or
dinary ship models worth from f2OO to
EGO apiece and even the familiar models
Of our lifeboats are reported to run to ESQ.
ne cost OF the models naturally suggests
an inquiry as to the cost of the full-sized
snip: On this matter a good deal of infor-
n alton was given by Professor Elgar at
the summer meeting of the Institute of
Naval Architects, in his comparison of the
relative cost of vessels built by private
nrms and vessels built in the government
dockyards. In the dockyards the average
cost of a first-class battle ship. such as the
Royal Sovereign, is fS43 500 while the ves-
seis OF similar class built in private yards
average at fss2 1872 each. The first-class
sheath-protected cruisers like the ROYAL
Arthur are built in the dockyards for f397,-
926. while the private yards produce them
for fS74,1S1. The flrst-class unsheathed
cruisers, like the Edgar and the Hawke,
cost in the dockyards f402, ,231 while those
OF similar class turned out from the pri-
Vate yards cost f:;6U, ,565. The second-class
sheathed cruisers. like the Brilliant cost in
the dockyards f214.740, while the private
YARDS build them for an average of 1885,
isl. The second-class unsheat thed cruisers,
Ike the Apollo, cost f1S,772 in the dock
yards, as against f174,a36 when built pri-
vately, and the third-class cruisers, like
the Palias, cost Els, ,222, as against f123,O5O.
