VALENTINES DAY.
An Old Custom Which Retains Its
Popularity.

An Old Custom Which Retains Its
Popularity.
ST. Valentines day comes on Sunday this
year and the unfortunate coincidence is
worrying thousands of boys and girls of
all ages, who are in doubt as to when they
should send their dainty missives of honeyed
affection. When Christmas or the -Four: h
of July falls on Sunday provision is made
for the proper celebration of the day, but
the powers that be do not seem to regard
loves festival as of sufficient importance
to notice officially.
Contrary to general belief, the celebra-
ton of Valentines day does not seem to
have fallen off in the slightest. One of the
principal dealers in these gems of lace
paper and verse said to a Star reporter to-
day that the demand for valentines last
year was greater than ever before and
there was every reason to believe that this
Year would be even more satisfactory from
his point or view. What troubled the deal
ers more than anything else was the heavy
rain that fell almost without cessation dur
ing the day. Valentines are usually a drug
on the market until about the second day
before they are sent out ard then the rush
begins On day such as this has been one
does ret care to wander from his own fire.
SIDE Tor the mere fun of investing in a few
Ell velepes full Of pretty pictures, Cupid's
and loves darts.
An encouraging sign OF the times. the
popular taste in the matter of valentines
Time was when the only thing that would
go was a mass of paper lace and verse OF
the sweetest and most amorous sort Now
adays the public clamors for dainty novel;
ties. many of which are decidedly artistic.
Few are really tawdry OF vulgar. Pretty
embossed cards with sentiments fond but
not heavy with sweetness are the ruling
favorites this year. Many of them are
quite up-to-date. For instance one of the
prettiest Is a picture of a tandem bicycle
with captivating piece of femininity on
the front seat. The back seat is vacant
ard the verse is to the effect that the
sender knows of no one she would rather
nave than the recipient to pedal with her
through life. This is but one of a score of
ways the wheel - made to figure as We
hlcle FOR loves message. Another picture
or a bicycle informs the one to within ii is
sent that the sender will be true through
wheel or woe and that the love in his
heart will never tire" Another valentine
has {, couple of paper lace curtains and the
legend that goes with it iS to the effect that
II you would see a picture of my 'Valen-
tlne you must draw the curtains aside
WheI this is done it disclcses a little
mirror in which you see your own face
The comic" valentines that were in vogue
Some years ago and whose Sole purpose was
10 wound anonymously, are now things of
the past and are rarely seen. Occasionally
they are to be found displayed in shop
windows; but the sale of them is as
nothing compared to what ii was few
years ago.

The Navy Department Is securing con-
slant improvement in the quality of its
armor plate. A test made at Indian Head
Wednesday demonstrated that 1t now pcs
sesses the best thin armor in the whole
world. A four-inch plate. representing
some of the side armor of the battle ship
Kearsarge, was fired at with fiye-inch
gun. Not long ago shot was calculated
as able completely to penetrate an armor
plate of one and a half times as thick as
its caliber. In other words. five-inch
shot would penetrate plate seven and a
half inches thick. This four-inch plate,
however. not only kept the shot out, but
1t smashed it up. and the only mark left
on the plate was a slight dishing In the
center not more than half an inch deep.
This passed the plate. Then another shot
was taken at It to ascertain the power re-
quired to perforafe the plate. This was &C
only by giving the shot the
high velocity of 1855 feet per second, and
even then the plate was not cracked.

was awarded by the Board, Monday
evening, to Mr., Jacob Sigler for the
sum of $50, which is considered very
reasonable price. Next to Mr. Sigler,
among the dozen or more bidders, was
Mr.. l. A. Peck, who wanted 500, and
he was closely followed by Mr.. Matt
Heck. The highest bid was $349. 50
and the next $3.50. The bids indicat-
ed some wild guessing or else desire
to make speck or else lose money,
as the successful bidder agrees to do
the work for less than fourth the
amount asked by the highest.
