TWIN CUNBoATS.
The Wheeling aud Marietta Christened at
san Fraucisco.


San Francisco, March ls.-The hunch-
ing of the twin gunboats, Marietta and
Wheeling, al the Union Iron Works to-
day was witnessed by several thousand
people. There was no hitch in the ar
rangements until after the vessels slid off
the ways. The Wheeling did not gain 80
much momentum as the Marietta and
charged the latter In the basin carecning
her over TO II seemingly dangerous degree.
The Wheeling tilted TO such an extent
that those on board her rushed to her
hlgh side. There was no real danger. how
ever and the Wheeling rightcd beauti-
fully as soon as the Marietta drifted apart
from her. ON the Wheeling were Hon. J.
y. Butts. mayor OF Wheeling. W. Va,
representatives of the Union Iron Works,
a party of Wheeling citizens and ladies
and Miss Lucie s. Brown, who had been
delegated to christen the ship.
On the Marietta were the Marietta.
Ohio. party. represented by Mrs. clifford
More of this state. formerly OF the city af-
ter which the trim fighter Is named. AT a
given signal the workmen stationed under
the ways struck away the block and the
wine bottles. released from the swings
over the bows by fair hands, crashed on
the iron plates.
Il christcn thee Wheeling said Miss
Brown.
~ christcn thee Marietta" spoke Mrs.
More simultaneously.
The Marietta slipped down the ways
swiftly and smoothly and entered the
basin without causing much agitation In
the water. The Wheeling slid a short way
and then stuck fast. but she held still for
only a few moments, for with the crash
of tlmbers she was under way again. She
shot out into the basin and ran her sharp
nose against the Marietta. pushing her
sister ship over and then arose a shout
from the crowd. The spectators became
somewhat excited and one OF them ex-
claimed: why, she is going to tip over"
The gunboats swung clear, and gradually
the Marietta came on even keel.
The gunboats that were launched to-
gether belong to a group OF six authorized
by the act making appropriation for the
fiscal year ended June 10. 1895. The six
gunboats are designated as light draught
composite gunboats Of 1000 tons displace.

WASHING A FINE ART.

Ever since spinning was a type Of
womanly industry from age to age, it has
been expected that beautiful apparel should
clothe women. From the classic robes Of
Aspasia to the rich dresses Of Elizabeth,
and thence to the wedding gown of Pur-
itan Priscilla we see the attractiveness Of
dress But at this time only has it b e.
come possible for all women to be becom-
ingly attired at a small cost, the supply Of
beautiful inexpensive dress fabrics now. to
be had, making. it an easy matter. Yet
there are women who insist that the ex
pense of having summer gowns laundered
is greater than the original cost, and that
in the end light woolens or summer silks
are more economical This is mistaken
idea, as washing pretty belongings is fine
art, which is very easy to learn. Any girl
no matter how delicately reared can wash
her own summer gown. A bright day ;,
plenty of water, and little pure soap are
the necessary aids in the work To do it.,
fill a tub two-thirds full of warm water,
dissolve a fourth Of a cake of Ivory Soap,
(Which will not fade the most delicate
colors) add it to the water, wash the gar
ments carefully through it, rinse first in
clear water, then in blue water, wiring,
dip in thin starch, hand on the line in the
shade. When dry, sprinkle and iron on
wrong side. Eliza R. Parker.

Over-Run Butter.

81. Prof. Kent has set forth very clearly
IN his article on Butter or Butter-fatn
the two methods which are generally
used in making returns to patrons
But there is another method still in use
in many creamieries on this coast.
with which the professor may not be
acquainted, says the Pacific Coast Dali
ryman. We refer to the practice Of
some creameries in gobbling up the
entire overrun, paying only for the
actual butter-fat received, less the US
ual price for making. Example: A
partron hauls to the creamery during
the month sufficient to produce 100
pounds Of butter fat mot butter. He
is credited with 100 pounds Of fat. The
price of butter is Is cents per pound,
the price charged by the creamery for
making and marketing is a cents per
pound Pay day comes, and patrons
receive payment for 100 pounds Of but
ter fat at Is cents per pound, less i
cents per pound for making, leaving III
cents, or $11 for the 100 pounds Of but
ter fat delivered. Now, let us see: what
the creamery has received for this
work. In the first place, it has rel
ceived 81 for making up this 100 pounds
Of butter fat, and has, in addition, six
teen and tWo-thirds pounds Of butter
(the overrun from this 100 pounds OF
fat) to sell at Is cents per pound, maxi
ing $3.50 more to add to the 81 al
ready charged. Thus it will be seen
that the price actually paid for MAX
ing the butter has been 81 cents per
pound. Of course the overrun is not
always as much as one-sixth, s5b but
again it's more. The creameries using
this fraudulent system are ever. anx-
ioust to keep from their patrons any
knowledge Of overruns, trying to make
them believe. that the oyerrun is en-
tirely counterbalanced by the losses in
Swimming and churning. This method
cannot be too strongly condemned, and
should be exposed on every possible
