SHIP CUSHIONS.
Vessels Are Measured for Them and
What They Are Made OF.

vessels Are Measured for Them and
What They Are Made OF.
When a new vessel is ready to be
fitted out with her cushions she is
measured for them; not as church
would be, for a certain number of
pews, but every space in which a cush-
ion is to be placed separately. On a
large vessel there might be a number
of cushions of the same dimensions,
but marine architecture is such that
cushions may DE required on the same
vessel in a great variety of forms, and
of varying dimensions even within
given lines, narrower at one end, for
instance, than at the other. And
cushions are made TO fit around masts,
and around therounded ends of cagines,
and in other spaces where they must
be made in the form of an arc of cir
Gle; and ship cushions are made V
shaped and in other shapes to fit into
various hooks and joys.
All cushions are made with a verti-
cal front edge, and most of them are
made with vertical rear edge. But
ship cushions are often made with a
rounded or beveled rear edge to fiji
handsomely against the side of the YES
sci, which serves as c back to seat, but
may slope away at sharper angle than
seat backs commonly do.
Practically every boat that Is SCI
aloat, whatever she may be, big OF
little, isindividually measured through
out for her cushions. The same ma.
terials for stuffing cushions that are
used on land are used on the water
hair, moss, cotton and so on. And ship
cushions are sometimes stuffed with
cork clippings for their buoyant prop.
critics. The material most commonly
used in covering church cushions are
damasks and reps, the damasls .hore
generally. The material most com.
monty used in covering ship cushions is
mohair plush, which is made in vari.
Gus colors and qualities Leather is
also used in covering ship cushions, es.
peciaIly in smoking-rooms and chdpt.
rooms and aboard yachts, and it costs
little, if any, more than a fine quality
of mohair plush.-N. Y. Sun.

Digcstion and Rest.

Digestion proceeds more rapidly in
the horse with active exercise than
when eating is followed by a period
of rest, according to the experiments
of DIR. Tango, of Buda-Pesth. In the
dog and in man the opposite is true,
which shows how unsafe it is to infer
results in one animal from observa-
tons on another.

ment now is the time to buy cotton"
New York Jan. 16.-The Sun says of
cotton: THE trading to-day was almost
fifeless. Lower cables, unfavorable Man
chester advices, larger receipts than had
been expected, and some selling for con-
tinental account had a weakening effect
upon the market but owing to the in
tense dullness of the speculation, the de-
cline was slight. The trading was of a
local professional character. The receipts
at the ports for the week, it is now esti-
mated. will be larger than last week,
though the quantity to come into sight
is estimated at only 10000 against $1,000
last week. The decline in Liverpool was
attributed to the plague in India, which,
it is feared, will lead to a curtailment of
production at Manchester"
