A Sea Captains Paradox

The Paradoxical discovery
that the speed of sailing vessel
may be increased by perforating
its sails is claimed by Captain
Vasallo, an Italian mariner. He
supposes that the fixed cushion
of air filling up the hollow of an
inflated sal! lessons the effect of
the wind, and he has sought to
prevent the collecting of this
cushion by making a number of
holes in the canvas. Several
trials, made in all weathers, have
given surprising results. In a
light wind vessel made 4 knots
with ordinary sails, and 5 knots
with perforated sails; in a fresh
breeze 7 and SA knots respec>
lively, and in strong wind 8
and 10 knots. The ships value
would be increased one-fftii-its
trip of five weeks being reduced
to four weeks-if the increased
speed can be sustained through
out q, long voyage.

A Grand Army.

Figures just published show
that there are in the United
States 2OS, 388 retail liquor deal
ers and 4,555 wholesale liquor
dealers, who hold licenses from
the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue. Add to this number
that of the malt liquor dealers,
recti6ers and brewers, and it
makes grand total of 232,295
persons who are licensed by the
government to make and sell in
toxicating drinks, or one to every
$50 inhabitants or, leaving out
women and children, one to
every 90 men in the country. In
view of these figures it is not
strange that temperance lectures
bear down on the government
for its connection with the drink
evil.-Ex.

Good Health

And good appetite 60 hand in hand.
With the loss of appetite, the system
cannot long sustain itself. Thus the
Notifications of good health are broken
down and the system is liable to at
tacks of disease. It is in such cases
that the medicinal powers of Hoods
Sarsaparilla are clearly shown: Thou
r1lla testify to its great merits as a
purifier of the blood, its powers to re-
Store and sharpen the appetite and
promote healthy action of the diges-
tive organs. Thus it is, not what we
say but what Hoods Sarsaparilla does
that tells the story and constitutes the
strongest recommendation that can be
urged tor any medicine. Why not take
Hoods Sarsaparilla now?

Perfection Of the Ives Col
ored Photographs.

The steroscopic photo-chrom'
oscope of Mr.. F. E. Ives, which
is said to record and reproduce
colors more perfectly than the
photograph does sound, and is
thought to be as near an ap-
proach to photography in natu-
raj colors as we are likely to get
III this century, excited much
admiration at the recent soiree
of the London Royal Society.
The process and apparatus,
though simple in principle, have
reached their present perfection
of detail only after an immense
amount of patient labor. Six
Photographic transparencies-
three for each eye-are prepared
for each view, and these, instead
of being looked at directly, are
hung vertically in two rows, aud
have their images reflected up>
ward through the stereoscope to
the eyes by mirrors inclined at
an angle of As to the line of
sight. Colored screens in front
of a lamp cause the pictures
thrown upon the highest mirror
to be red, those upon the middle
mirror to be blue, and those upon
the lowest one to be green. Two
of the refectors are of transpar-
ent colored glass, only the bot
tom one being silvered. The
observer, therefore, sees not only
the red image reflected from the
upper mirror of blue glass, but
below this sees the blue violet
image On a mirror of green glass.
and through the second reflector
sees the green image on the bot>
tom silyered reflector. The
three images seem to be all on
the bottom mirror, and, being
accurately registered, the three
color sensations blend in the eye,
and produce the tones of the
original object. The six orig
inal negatives are taken sinful
taneously in a camera construct
ed On the same principle as the
stereoscope, each of the three
color screens permitting details
in one color to reach the photo
graphic plate but cutting off
other rays.

Women Carrying Canes.

Until this spring it has never
occurred to the manish young wo
man that she ought to complete
the effect of her costume by carry
ing a cane. Now she has taken
up the idea with enthusiasm, and
almost any day there may be seen
in Fifth avenue gentlemanly
young saunterers in neat tailor>
made costumes, derby hats and
carrying canes.
In England Queen Victoria
has set the fashion, and the roy>
al precedent is being actively
followed in all the English
towns. No sooner were the
canes imported as novelties
than New York women hasten-
ed to adopt the fad. Now they
profess to find them remarkably
convenient and a safeguard from
the dreadful predicament of not
knowing what to do with ones
hands. There is somewhat of an
art in properly carrying a cane,
but If we'll managed it lends
jaunty air.
The canes that have been seen
so far are mostly plain woods
and are very slenderly construct
ed. The handles are usually
crooked and a silken cord and
tassel gives the feminine touch.
In a few of the canes seen abroad
there is an attempt at elaborate
mounting, and even few jewel
studded handles have been seen.

A GOOD APPLE ORCHARD.
IS MORE PROFITABLE THAN /
GOLD NINA CASE CITED.

We see the statement made
that a Mt. Airy merchant thinks
100000 a low estimate for the
apple crop marketed in that
town this season.
The Stanley's Willow Springs
(Mo.) Republican gives this states
ment of one apple farm near that
place:
owe are informed that the
Olden fruit farm have been Of
fered and refused $4,000 for the
apples grown this year on 100
acres of their II and IL vear-old
apple orchard. The offer was
made for the apples in the orr
chard. We visited that orchard
near three weeks ago, and learn
ed then that it was estimated that
there would be 5000 barrels of
marketed fruit. The company
intends storing the bulk of the
apples in cold storage that they
have erected and from present in
dications they will realize near
$4,000 for them by holding for
later markets. And yet we have
people asking every day whether
apple growing will pay, especi>
ally at the present low prices.
These trees are IL and II years
old have borne several good crops
before, but the trees being
larger have borne more this
year than any year previous.
Should they have accepted the
offer of $4,000 for this years
crop on the 100 acres, it would
have brought them 500 an acre.
Should they get $4,000 by
holding, it would bring them
$500 per acre for the crop; and
they still have the land and trees
ready for many more crops. Re-
member the expense of caring
for the orchard after it is bearing
is comparatively small, and the
profit as above shown, enormous.
We leave the readers to draw
their own conclusion about
whether apple growing is profit
able or otherwise. The demand
is already coming from all over
the country for apples, and there
will be no lack of market for
them, neither is there any danger
of getting a supply beyond the
demand. 1t will prove a better
paying investment than a gold
mine"

THE NEWSPAPER REPORTER
NEVER GIVE HIM GOOD NEWS AND
SAY "THIS IS NOT FOR
PUBLICATION"

The Brooklyn IN. W Times
tells its readers how to treat a
newspaper reporter, as follows:
Don't tell a newspaper reporter,
when he calls On you On business,
| things which you do not wish
him to print. He does not call
for information for the fun of it.
He is there on business. When
you meet a reporter socially don't
say to him every time you open
your mouth, "This is not for
publication" The chances are
| that reporters know the proprie-
ties of life quite as we'll as men
in other callings. If you really
have information to give, either
give it cheerfully and frankly, or
refuse with frmness, but don't
try to be clever and attempt any
funny business" If you give
the information frankly you will
in ninety-nine cases out of a hun
dred, be accurately reported and
respectfully treated. If you re-
fuse on any other than trivial
grounds, your reticence will be
respected. If you try to outwlt
the reporter by an effort to miss
Head him or by direct 1nisrepre-
sentation. you are sure to
make a mess of it, and wish
you had been better advised.
Disabuse your mind of any fool
ish impression that newspaper
reporters are malignant persons,
trying to stir up strife in the
world. They are, as rule, the
jopposite of this and have as high
an idea as other men of that
message of glad tidings. "Peace
On earth and good will among all
good men"
