THE WOMAN's LUNCHEON.
What Famous Cook Has to Say on 1t
Bad Qualities.

- -
Bad Qualities.
Frankly I confess that now 1 regard the
stereotyped ladies' luncheon as bore, be-
sides being an insult to any sensitive
stomach, writes Kate Sanborn in the Bos
ton Cooking School Magazine. Who
among you will dare TO start reform and
ask a few friends to q really simple but
appetizing meal OF only three courses.
The programme must be complete,
from oysters to black coffee and cordials,
whether the husband feels it an IN
necessary tax, or the cook is over
burdened, or some of the guests, dazed
by the splendor of glass, silver, china and
linen, feel depressed If not envious, and
wish they could make an equal display.
What dangerous medley TO digest, lob

my mistakes. He said: NOW don't get

COST OF BIG TUNNELS.

Striking Result in the Case of the One
Through Cascade Mountains.
A recently published item relative to the
comparative cost OF the worlds four great
tunnels places the cost of the Hoosac tun-
mel, in the United States, the oldest one of
the lot. at f76, or about $3.50, foot, says the
New York Times. The Mount Gents tun-
mel, the next in date, cost according to
the same item, Ell, or about 1855, a foot;
the St. Gothard cost SAG or $3.50 a foot
and the Arlberg, the latest in date, cost
only Ell, or $155 foot. This rapid de-
crease in cost, within comparatively few
years, is cited as marked ind cation of
the great progress in mechanical methods
and improvement in understanding
tools.
a still more striking result exists in the
case of a tunnel through the Cascade
mountains, on the line of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, In the United States.
This, unlike those named, which were ex-
cavated in the old-settled countries, with
the terminal easy of access. was in a pecu-
liarly difficult location, so much SO that it
took months to convey the machinery to
the spot. Rivers had to be turned aside,
bridges built and material transported
over improvised roads through nearly 100
miles OF forest, mud and snowhelds, yet
the tunnel, which is 1871 fe wide, % feet
high and 1850 feet long, was bored through
the mountain in twenty-five months, at
the rate of Alb feet month, and at a cost
for the completed tunnel of only &24 or
about $120 foot.

October a succession of heavy westerly gales
commenced lasting nine days.
The British ship Simla came in from
Liverpool last evening, sailing from that
port August II. September %, in latitude
"a south, longitude Al west, the vessel was
struck by very heavy gale. Several ter
rible seas were shipped, which disabled
i've of the crew and generally damaged
affairs about the decks. October 2, in latl-
tude IS south, longitude 80 west they
caught very heavy west-northwest gale,
shipped several heavy seas, washed away
the pigs house and stove in the forecastle
doors and washed the boats of the for
ward skids. The ship labored heavily and
the decks were constantly filed TO the
rail, the heavy seas going completely over
the ship. October 5, in latitude 4S south,
longitude 81 west, had very heavy gale
from the northwest, with very cross,
confused sea. the ship rolling her rails
| under water and shifting the cargo.
1t was impossible to walk on deck and
the crew had to break through the sail
locker to get into the hold to secure the
cargo. These gales lasted until October
IL.
The following items regarding vessels
and shipmasters we'll known at this port
are taken from private mail adVlces re-
ceived from Liverpool yesterday: The
| bark Stanmore, the last OF the fleet owned
| by w. ]. Meyers Sons & Co. OF Liverpool,
has been sold by that gentleman to Mr..
Thomas Of North Wales, the price obtained
being f9050 or $500 more than was OBJ
| tanned for her sister ship, the Swanmore,
which was recently sold
Both vessels were built at Belfast in 1886
and there was only two tons difference in
their gross tonnage. Captain E. ". Nick
els, late of the Stanmore, has been ap-
pointed master of the British ship Yeo-
man, which recently changed hands.
Captain OolIister, who has been running
to this port for many years and was well
known as the master of the CorTorant
and Pizarro, has been pensioned off by
! w. T. Myers at goo per year for the rest
| OF his life. He has been in the service OF
! his employers, who thus recognize his
worth, for thirty two years, serving under
grandfather, son and grandson.
