From the Lofty sticks of Solid Wood
to the Modern Masts of Iron.

New York SUM-
Ships' masts were originally made with
the several parasitic lower mast, the top
mast and the topgallant mast-each of
solid stick Big timber was required FOR
the large lower masts, and when the suit
able and accessible trees had been culied
out from Eastern forests mast timber was
brought from Oregon.
The expense of bringing the logs around
from the Pacific, of course. added greatly
10 the cost of the mast and sparmakers
began making built-up masts, made OF
considerable number of pieces. The built
up mast has enc advantage in the material
used. it is always difficult TO get a solid
stick of suitable size for a mast that is
absolutely free from blemish In making the
huilt-up mast composed OF number of
smaller pieces it is easily possible to select
only perfectly sound material. The built
IN masts were usually made with a spindle,
a big square timber forming the center
or heart the round of the mast being
formed by slabs laid on the sides of the
spindle And these parts were not always
each of single piece; sometimes the spin
de in its IengtA was composed of two or
three pieces scaIved, or spIced, together;
and the slabs also might be scarved, the
scarves in the slabs, however, not being
brought opposite those in the spindle. The
finished stick was banded with hoops of
IRON The built-up mast STOOD the service
well: 1t was subject only as solid stick

THE HoEcAKE AND THE PoNE.

We lay no great stress on the corn pone.
preferring the hoecake on the ground that
even an amateur cannot go amiss in pre-
pairing and cooking 1t. Yet We would not be
understood as ignoring the pone. Coming
hot 10 the table, waere there is plenty Of
butter, together with a pitcher of butter
milk an hour old, no more delicious meal
can be inyented-that is 10 say for a hun
CRY man and a healthy stomach. In this
shape. and with these surroundings, the
corn pone Is indeed the staff of life, the
comforter of childhood the mainstay OF
middle life and the solace of old age, which
il keeps hardy and green.
But we doubt If there is in England. or in
all Europe for that matter, cook who can
prepare the corn pore. for neither Chloe nor
Mandy is travelling abroad this year. No
white cook can manage It. In the hands Of
those entirely Caucasian the corn pone be-
comes heavy and hard. 1t is either UNDER
done or overdone. And then there Is no
underground meal IN England or on the
continent, so that Il is useless 70 go
further into the matter of the corn pone.

essence of simplicity. II lends itself as
gracefully 10 ignorance as to art. The most
stupid person IN the world cannot so amiss
