SHIP CUSHIONS.
Measuring Vessels For Their Outfit-What

Measuring Vessels For Their Outit-what
Ship Cushions Are Made OF.
When new vessel is ready TO be fitted
out with her cushions, she is measured
for them, not as church would be, for
certain number Of cushions Of spec
flied size to supply a certain number Of
.peWs, but every. space IL which a cush-
ion is to be placed separately. On
large vessel there might be number Of
cushions OF the same dimensions, but
marine architecture is such that cush-
ions may be required Oh the same vessel
in great variety Of forms, and of vary
ing 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 the round
ed ends of cabins, and in other spaces
where they must be made in the form
Of an arc Of a circle, and ship cushions
are made V shaped and in other shapes
to fit into various hooks and joys.
All cushions are made with vertical
front edge, and most Of them are made
with vertical rear edge, but ship

or beveled rear edge to fit handsomely
against the side of the vessel, which:
serves as back to the seat, but may
slope away at sharper angle than seat
backs commonly do.
Practically every boat that is set
afoat, whatever she may be, big or lit
tie, is individually measured through
out for her cushions. The same materi-
ais for stuffing cushions that are used
on land are used on the water-hair.
moss, cotton and so on-and ship cush-
ions are sometimes stuffed with cork
clippings for their buoyant properties.
The materials most commonly used in
covering church cushions are damasks
and reps, the damasks more generally.
The material most commonly used in
covering ship cushions is mohair plush,
which is made in various colors and
qualities. Leather is also used in cover
ing ship cushions, especially in smok-
ing rooms and chartrooms and aboard
yachts, and it costs little, if any, more
than fine quality of mohair plush.

CHlNS AND THE MAN.
Does Your Jaw Give You Away Before
Won Speak?

Does Your Jaw Give You Away Before
You Speak?
Protruding chins characterize men
and women of the get there type Sue,
cessful people usually carry their chins
thrust forward, with compressed lips.
This chin, if heavy, with broad rarni
and swelling masseters, indicates fight
ing blood. =
A retreating chin shows lack of force,
mentally, morally and physically; usu-
ally of the yielding sort; soon Ciiscour-
aged; desires protection; small exec
utive force. The development Of other
faculties often makes up for this defect.
A small, we'll rounded chin, with
mobile and red cushion of flesh upon it,
indicates a pleasure loving owner; if
dimplcd, all the more so, for dimpIed
china belong to coquettes. People with
dimples love to be petted and loved;
like admiration and praise; generally
tickle. Usually this chin is healthy, re-
Cooperative and long lived.
Broad chins signify nobleness and
large dignity, unless vertically thin,
when, if with it there be thin lips Of
bloodless kind, you find cruelty.
Square chins with little flesh denote
firmness and executive ability. These
make good haters.
Drunkards usually have a circular
line about their chins
Stevens have wrinkles about their
chins
Long, thin chins are poetical, unsta-
BILE and delicate in constitution. Such
people are subject to bowel derange-
ments. If thin through the angles OF
the mouth, too, they are prone to tuber-
culosis; generally short lived.
Medium chins with a suggestive BIZ
furcation in the center, with small
mounds of flesh On either side, charac-
tecize generosity, imputsiveness, CHEEKY
natures. The same sized chins, with a,
dab of flesh just under the center of
the lower lip, indicate meanness, sell
tishness, brutality.
n. B.-No one feature can be taken
in judging character. Often develop
ment of other faculties of mind or fea-
ture entirely governs. In each case take
the totally of indications" before
judging. st. Louis Clinique.

Modern Awnings.

Scarcely any object is more conspic-
uous in the summer season than the
awning, - said Mr.. Biff1eton 'In none
is our progress in civilization more ap-
parent. Awning stripes are made now
adays in great variety of styles and in
various colors and shades of color 1t is
quite possible to get an awning to match
a building, or one that shall contrast
with it agreeably. I have seen lately
a large brownstone building equipped
with awnings having alternate stripes
in two shades of brown, shading admi-
rably with the stone, the whole produc-
ing massive, harmonious and pleasing
effect. / have seen buildings of light
colored bricks with light stone or terra
Gotta trimmings equipped with awnings
in stripes of darker colors and of some
what fanciful design as to. the width
and grouping of the stripes, giving an
effect somewhat striking perhaps, but
decidedly picturesque.
"The fact is that in the Hands of
competent person the awning may now
easily be made great embellishments of
the building. and properly put up, as
indeed most of them are nowadays, it
becomes thing of beauty and joy, if
rot forever, at least for the summer
months. ''--Excnange.

A wheelman's Device.

Ingenious wheelmen of Nice have put
an end to the tribute of lives which
a hill near that city has been ex.
acting from them. At the bottom of
this declivity, it seems, there is a sharp
turn, then bridge with low parapet,
and just beyond terrible amodnt of
nothing at all except scenery. Long ago
the French Touring club put sign ad
vising caution in a conspicuous place at
the top of the descent. but this did not
prove sufficient to overcome the fatal
attraction of, the abyss, and wheelmen
continued to precipitate themselves into
the view-which, by the way. was pri
vate property-with rapidity that
threatened in time seriously to diminish
the clubs annual receipts from dues.
After long study of the problems,
financial, aesthetic and others, which
the case involved, it was decided to sus.
pend just beyond the parapet strong
net neatly woven of steel wires. The
very day after it was put in place BIZ
cyclist came coasting wildly down the
hill, struck the stone wall, left his wheel
1t wasn't worth taking any farther
and took graceful header into the net.
For the first time it wasn't necessary
for the newspapers of Nice, in giving
their regular news from the bridge of
Raminguo, to say anything about "a
plunge into eternity" Since then the
net has saved an average of four lives
week, and so well known have its pow
ers become that picnic parties from the
city, which once avoided the bridge as
place of tragical associations, now re-
sort there daily to watch, from the cool
shade of nearby trees, the amusing
pastures assumed by the wheelmen and
wheelwonen when they strike the elias
tic wires According to recent informa-
ton from that region the spectacle is
well worth seeing. New York Times.

FIRE MEMS WATCHFULNESS.
Habits of Vigilance That Prevent a Com
rade's Danger From Being Overlooked.

Habits of Vigilance That Prevent a Com
rade's Danger From Being Overlooked.
After twOscore firemen had been TAX
ell unconscious from the cellar of a
burning building in Chambers street
curious citizen who wandered inside
the fire lines asked:
Glow do they happen to know in all
this confusion and noise that men sup
posed to be fighting fire in the cellar
have been overcome by smoke and are
lying down there unconscious, and
how, too, with nearly 40 men rescued,
do they know that there are not more
men in the cellar in a similar predica-
ment?''
Under the circumstances the question
was perfectly natural. It was dark
night and the fact that the electric
lights for block east and west sputter-
ed constantly instead Of giving steady
light did not improve matters. All was
confusion around the burning building.
Firemen We're running every which way.
Policemen were beating back the crowd
which was struggling to get near enough
to the engine house to see the PROSTATE
firemen within. Ambulances and fire
engines blocked the street, and firemen
were clambering over the roofs of adj
joining buildings, yelling hoarsely at
one another and seeking places to fight
the fire.
Naturally in all this confusion it was
matter of wonder to one not familiar
with the ways of firemen how in the
world they could tell whether or not
any of their comrades was in danger.
The cellar of the building was full of
thick, black smoke, which no man
could live in even for short time, and
besides that the temperature was down
to zero, for the fire was in a cold stor-
age warehouse and the freezing rooms
were in the cellar.
There is a system in the fire depart
ment by which the men can keep track
of one another. The rule is for the men
Of each company to look out for the
members OF that company. This makes
it comparatively easy for the men to
keep track of one another, for there are
rarely more than a dozen men in a
company, and each man in it knows
about where his comrades are working
at fire.
The custom among the men is to keep
constantly inquiring for one another. If
Jones hasn't happened to see Smith for
some time, he Immediately asks the
first man of his company that he comes
across where Smith is. If that man can t
tell, the inquiries go on, and SO a man
can't be missing for very long without
his comrades knowing it. Then it is an
easy matter to trace Smith to the last
task he was ordered to do, and as rule
he is hauled safely out of danger. From
constant usage the system has become
almost perfect, and the cool courage
that it has developed has made the de-
partment one of the finest in the world.
The men will risk everything and go
against the most tremendous odds to
save comrade. New York Sun.

Y THE BROKEN TOY.

A broken toy-what memories cling
Around this half forgotten thingl
What baby laughter seems to rise,
Like old, delightful melodies!
What shouts of wordless, tuneful joy
At sight of this poor broken toyl
oh, tiny feet that would not rest!
oh, dear head pillowed on z..r breast,
What would we give to holo again
The form we lost mid tears and painl
All, child, the empty cot is ours,
But thine the sunshine and the fowersi
What could we give thee shouldst thou
come
To smile again upon thy home?
Such little pleasures as we know
In this our twilight life below,
Some fragments of earth's paltry joys,
A handful of its broken toysl
How calm thy lot, forever blesti
How exquisite thy happy resti
How changeless, joyful and serene,
Compared with what thy lot had been
With US, whose ieeting, clouded joys
Are at their best but broken toys!

a DEFICIT PROBABLE.

After all the boasts of the Republicans
as to prosperity following the adoption of
the tariff bill it is quite evident that the
increase of revenue will not be sufficient
to keep pace with the increase of expendi-
lures along the line of the past few years
and the administration realizes the fact
that the new tariff will have to he accom-
panied by n policy of retrenchment. It
is calculated that on account of the i'm
mense amount of anticipauory importa-
tionS, the revenues under the new law
will be far short for the first year of what
they will be thereafter. 1t is Thought
that there will be n def cheney in revenue
the first year of about twenty millions.
After the first year the committee
think there will be sufficient revenue pro
dnced to meet the expenditures but it is
not safe to count on any surplus. and It
is acknowledged that great economy In
expenditures will be necessary to pre-
vent IA deficiency. 1t is possible that

GREATLY EXAGGERATED.

The Bannock Indian trouble in Idaho
appears to Rave been greatly exaggerated
by the settlers. Dispatches received at
Washington on Thursday indicate that
the number of Indians of the reservation
is much less than was stated that there
was little basis for general alarm through
that country, and that the object of the
Indians who did leave the reservation
was solely to secnre II food luxury in the
form of CANVASS root, blue-nowercd
bulb, whose sweet taste is much coveted
by the Indians. Lieutenant Irwin, the
agent at the Fort Hall reservation, wired
on Thursday that the situation was not
so serious as reported.
Agent Harper, of the Um atilla reserva-
ton at Pendleton. Ore, whose Indian
charges were said to have joined the Fort
Hall Indians, also telegrarhed on the
same day that his Indians are all at
home, so far as he knows, with four ex-
captions, and are preparing to celebrate
the Fourth of July. He discredits the
idea of his Indians being at CANVASS prai-
RTE, and apparently has no fear Of any
difficulty.

United States Consul General Karel at
st. Peter burg who transmits the figures
to the State Department, says they show
that in fortyf five years the population Of
Russia has doubled, and during the last
twelve years it has increased 20 per cent.
To take this census the Russian govern
ment employed an army Of $50, 600 per-
sons, and it's completion in three months
is regarded as great achievement in
view of the vast eNpanse Of territory to be
covered and the illiteracy of the popula-
ton. England will have to watch the
Russian Bear, whose desire to take pos
session of India has been we'll known
since the time of Peter the Great. He
laid down policy for his country to pur-
sue, and that policy has been closely fol-
lowed by subsequent rulers of the en-
pire. Constantinople was to his mind
the key to the situation, and it's posses
sion has been always the great aim of
Russia. England has thwarted her on
more than one occasion; hut the, march OF
Russian armies has been steadily south
