Various Ways of Correctly Guiding the
Course of Vessel.
Gustav Kobbe contributes an article
to ST. Nicholas. Mr.. Kobbe says:
Sailors steer by the wake of the ship
When a vessel is running free-that is,
with the wind dead astern-she must
leave straight wake, or she is not run
ming a straight course. When she is ION
the wind" her canvas FULL not shiver-
ing-when she is
AS near as she will lie
By keeping full and bye
her wake will be at an angle greater or
less, according to the force Of the wind
and the speed of the vessel. This angle
measures what we call the ships 'slee
way''-that which she loses from true
course. With vessel hove to in gale
the leeway becomes very large and is
called the drift. =
Coasting craft steer by the line of
white surf on the shore or in thick
weather by its roar as it breaks on
the beach or rocks. They haul in to
catch the sound, then keep off until
they lose it, ard then haul in again to
central line and maintain it. An old
sea dog once told me that one thick
night, coming up along the coast with
a head wind SO that they had to tack in
and off shore, they sailed their tacks,
or ran their "legs," by candles run
ming off shore long enough to burn out
two candles, but burning one for the
inshore leg, SO as to avoid standing in
too close.
The Alaska steamers on the inside
route between the main coast and nu-
merous outlying islands steer, even in
running through the narrowest cham
nels, by thevarying echoes Of the pad
dies from the shores.
A. given course can also be run by
soundings. or, rather, by line of
soundings In entering New York har-
Dor keep in, say, 10, 90, 40 fathoms. no
less, until you get 10 fathoms. If then
the lead shows fine white sand, look out
for Sandy Hook lightship. Coarse yell
low sand will land you on Fire island.

Ice Cream Crouuettes

A new and fashionable dessert is ice
cream croquettes. These are more intri-
cate in appearance than in construction,
for they are merely any good ice cream
packed in croquette-s shaped moulds.
which, when they are about to be served,
are dipped in chopped almonds, Drowned
to further carry out the illusion, and
then covered with a claret sauce. This
sauce, good for so many things, but espe-
cially for frozen dainties of one kind and
another, is more often spoiled by over
cooking than by any other untoward
circumstance. The syrup, one cup Of
sugar with one-fourth cup of water,
must boil for a minute or two and then
be removed from the fire to cool. If it
show any crystalliZation, a little more
water must be added and another cook
ing tried. 1t should be clear and not
quite so thick as ordinary molasses.
-Four tablespoonfuls of claret are added
after it is cold.-New York Evening

To Clean Kid Gloves

A young lady recently entered drug
store and called for this mixture: One
quart of deodorized benzne, one drachm
Of sulphuric ether, one drachm of chloro-
form, two drachms of alcohol and just
enough cologne to make it smell pleas
ant. When the order had been filled the
clerk turned to a reporter and remarked:
'Do you know what the lady wanted
the prescription for? No; well, she is
simply going to wash some soiled gloves
in it. The preparation is one of the
cheapest and best for cleansing kid that
l know of. You pour little of the
mixture into a clean bowl and wash the
gloves in it just as you would wash
anything with soap and water. When
the soiled spots or dirt is about re-
moved rinse the gloves in some clean
fluid. Usually one rinsing is sufficient,
but if the gloves are of a cheap kind
it is best to dry them on the hand, but
fine glove, after having been rubbed
with a soft cloth to smooth out the
wrinkles, may be hung on a line to dry
like any ordinary garment. The prep
aration is an excellent thing to have
handy not only for rejuvenating gloves,
but for removing grease spots from
clothing and carpets and for sponging
coat collars and felt hats. Any lady
can save considerable by following that
ones example. e.'-Washington Evening

Philadelphia's Club of Women Artists

The Plastic club, by which name is
known the club of women artists of
Philadelphia, opened it's doors to guests
Saturday. There was a private view of
Japanese color prints in the club rooms
from 10 until 6. On the evening of the
same day Miss ]. l.. Southwicl deliv-.
cred a lecture on points in color, made
by Japanese artists, with those on ex-
hibition to serve as text and illustra-
ton. Miss Sartain is president of the
club but it's membership includes all
the women whose art productions are Of
note, thus making a long list of dis
tinguished workers. Moreover, not only
the workers are to enjoy the privileges
of the club There are many associate
members, chosen from large number
of applicants, who, having done no work
in this line, are yet celebrated for their
work in other fields, or who have been
interested in the advancement of our art
in an intelligent and educated fashion,

and the most refined settings, looks as
well, used for this purpose, as real gems
of the very best description. A black
velvet toque, with high black feathers
at one side rising from big knot OF
emerald green ribbon, would look twice
as stylish If fastened on with pins hav-
ing pear-shaped cabochon emerald heads
set in little diamond cups. These are
very costly, and they make charming
evening hair ornaments as well. A
Louis Seize buckle for bow for the
neck of combined velvet, fur, and lace
just gives it the style of the day, and
makes it look expensive and up toe date,
while the cost is not great, and the orna-
ment is everlasting.
Among the new materials we meet
such old friends as terry velvet. In it's
absence it has acquired new and i'm
proved face. 1t is as soft and rich as
silk velvet now, with the added attrac-
tion of the way in which it catches and
plays with the light. 1t is being much
used for todues and turbans and also for
dresses. Another old friend is repp.
which comes to us now with wider and
richer rib than we have seen before.
Tomato-red is a charming new color
in velveteen for blouses. One made of
it has little zouave fronts with two mar
row lines of silk stitchery outlining them
and a strap Of quaint rich Turkish en-
broidery down the front. A soft folded
belt of the velveteen fastens at the left
side, and the tight sleeve has a cuff of
the Turkish embroidery. A pretty
The herald., 1897-11-07

blouse of electric blue velveteen has
three tucks across the chest, a turn
over collar open in front and is fastened
down the back. a very lovely blouse for
dinner or theater wear is of soft brocade
in heliotrope and gold. 1t is drawn
across the chest, has soft puffed sleeves
and finely killed frlls of the brocade
resting on the shoulders and falling from
the elbow sleeves. A very charming
style for morning blouses in flannel or
cashmere is to make them with roll
over collars and back cuffs, edged
with soft frills of lighter silk Nothing
simpler or prettier for young girls could
be desired.
Chenille spotted veilings unquestion-
ably have the preference. Cream and
black k-bordered goods are also popular,
the eighteen-inch width being the moss
generally worn. In some instances there
is an extra fullness of yelling beneath
the chin, and for persons with the Eng
lislr feminine cast of countenance this is
rather becoming. Beyond question, the
fashionable colors in wells this coming
season, as at present, will be black, me-
dunn brown, cream and black on white.
In neckwear, l notice that crinkled
tissues, in many effects and widely d-
vergent colors, form the basis of style.
There is almost endless variety. and
those who know tell me there does not a S
yet seem to be any decided preference
for any particular style or color.
Sashes of MORE, liberty gauze and
India silk are very popular. The ma

broider it on with silk all round the
edges. Say her dress is black, the de-
sign either in light tulip-leaf green vel
veteen, in orange, or in red would look
splendid, and yet more elaborate effect
would be obtained by studding the
leaves with jet. The appearance will
be that of very expensive gown. Fur
ther, to add to it's attractiveness for
outdoor wear, clever fingers could fash
ion of lace, some fur tails. and a paste
buckle, particularly smart cravat. The
same plan can be practiced with regard
to every style of dress at present in
vogue, only it must be made with view
to it's ultimate home-decoration. This
can also be carried out with appliuued
designs in Moorish and guipure lace, |
beaded, jetted, or tinsel- wrought The
dressmaker will probably regard a cos
tuner adopting this plan as a person of
peculiar taste until she discovers the
plot, when she will be divided between
annoyance and admiration. The taste

possess in so large degree might be
utilized in this way for their own dress. |

The taste for the flash and glitter of
jeweling and jewels has abated, but not
died down. 1t is now at a more refined
stage, when the sparkle of a few orna-
ments amid the softness of velvet. fur.

Clean Cows Milk

1t is a terrible thought, nevertheless a
true one, that if the cows milk fed to
babies were only clean, thousands and
thousands of little lives would be spared
each year. But the milk, in the major
ity of cases, is not clean. To this fact is
largely due the enormous death rate
among children thYasartificially fed. The
uncleanliness beg With the process of
milking, and CON iues until the milk is
swallowed as food. Is it not strange
that such a simple lesson of cleanliness
cannot be learned? How many of those
who do the milking take the trouble to
thoroughly cleanse the hands before en-
gaging in that process? How often is
the udder of the COW carefully washed
before milking? To both these questions
the answer could be truthfully given,
Every rarely, indeed" Yet these cleans
ing processes should be rigidly insisted
upon.

Soaking in Cold Water--The Arme-
MAN Method of Serving It

l1A1l NlCCA1Ou VI SC4 VAAS ~
Get the tinsmith to make you a cup
out of perforated tin, about the size of
a coffee cup, with a securely fitting
cover, onto which is soldered loop or
ring, by which it may be removed from
the pot before the coffee is served.
Into this cup put a small tablespoon
full of ground coffee for each person,
close the cup and put it into the coffee
pot, and pour onto it one cupful of cold
water to each spoonful of coffee, and let
it stand all night. In the morning
place it on the back part of the stove,
where it will keep hot until the rest of
the breakfast is prepared. Before serv-
ing, remove the cup containing the
grounds, add a cup of hot water, and
you have coffee, the aroma of which will
make every one hungry.
In the absence of the perforated tin
cup, a thin muslin sack may be used,
but it is not as convenient as the cup.
To serve the coffee put one or two
cubes of sugar whichever is preferred)
into your cup, with a teaspoonful of
rich cream, then pour your coffee on it,
and you will have a cup of coffee which
we think better than the famous Vienna
coffee.
Still another way of making and serv-
ing coffee, learned from an Armenian
family: Into cup of boiling water
stir three teaspoonfuls of pulverized or
finely ground coffee. Boil two minutes
and add three teaspoonfuls of sugar.
Arrange evenly on a small tray little
cups that will hold about tablespoon
full each. Fill with the boiling coffee,

dinner as an expression of good will to
the departing guests.-What to Eat.
