engines of that nature in England

30, 900, which in different parts of
the country and for different pun
poses have been doing fairly goo d
work for several years past. In OF r
own country several have been IL

in any general use. Mr.. Parsons is
the first who has successfully al

water craft. His success seems UNI

Cross the Ocean in Three DAYS

y British inventor. Hon. Charles
Alg"rnOn Parsons. ii son Oi the earl
OF ltOSSc, Of trleocUpr fame. has
brought within sight a possible re
duCtjOM of the time Of crossing the
ocean to on2-haIi the present fastest
time Of th" great Atlantic liners. A
short time ago steamboat experts all
the world OYER had their cruGuIity
shaken by the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS that u
little steamer 100 icct long aud with
only n! tons total displacement, had
made the marvGioa, time OF within
IL small fraction OF % miles an hour.
II seemed incT6dTDTc thTr so,mall a
craft could hold any machinery ca
pLble Of propcliing it through the
water at so high a speed. The
British admiralty had torpedo
chascrs which had come very near
hat rate of going, but they were
boats Of over twice the length and
seven times the tonnage, and were
thus OF sufficient carrying capac ty
to hold the adequate machinery.
But, incredible as it seemed at first,
the fact is now demonstrated.
The means by which this has been
accomplished is not entirely novel,
says the Free Press. but the APP
plication Is new with Mr.. Parsons

THREE BOYS.

Let me tell you," says Miss Frances
E. Willard in the Young Crusader. "about
three splendid boys 1 knew once on
time. Their father died, and their dear
mother was left to briug thqm up ard to
earn the money with which to do it. So
the boys set in to help her. By taking a
few boarders, doing the work herself. and
practising strict economy, this blessed
woman kept out of debt and gave each of
her sons thorough college education.
But if they hadn't worked like beavers to
help her, she never could have done it,
Her Oldest boy-only fourteen-treated
his mother as if she were the girl he
loved best. He took the heavy Jobs of
Homework off her hands, put on his big
apron, and went to work With a will.
washed the potatoes, pounded the
clothes, ground the coffee, waited on the
table-did anything and everything that
he could coax her to let him do, and the
two younger ones followed his example
right along. Those boys never wasted
their mothers money on tobacco, beer or
cards. They kept at work and found
any amount of pleasure in it. They were
happy. jolly boys, too, full of fun, and
everybody not only liked but respected
and admired them. All the girls in town
praised them, and l don't know any
better fortune for boy than to be
praised by good girls, nor anything that
boys like better. They all married noble
and true women, and to-day one of those
boys is president of a college, goes to
Europe every year, almost, and Is in de-
mand for every good word and work;
another lives in one of the most elegant
houses in Evanston, and is my own be-
loved physician; while the third is a
we'll to do wholesale grocer In Pueblo,
Col, and member Of the city council"
There were, we believe, remarks the
periodical that published the above,
three other boys about the same age, who
let their mother fetch the wood and
water, milk the COWS, and do the chores.
while they hung around the streets and
saloons, drank beer, and smoked cigars;
and they are probably at it yet-sitting
on nail kegs and grumbiing about hard
times Which kind of boy would you
prefer to be Our Companion.

The little straight up and down mat
inees that hang full from the yoke are
effective and easily made for morning
wear, being alike becoming to both
slender and stout figures.
The jackets in delicate shades of
pink, blue and cream white, made very
simply with feather-stitched hens or
lavishly trimmed with lace, are alto
gether charming for morning wear at
home and are especially dainty when
worn with light colored or white dress
skirts.
Taffeta silks are very smart indeed
for evening gowns, and those of black
are made into all sorts of fancifully
trimmed skirts, to be worn with waists
of the same tone or different coloring.
This skirt, with a low-cut bodice OF
black chiffon, or any color one may
choose, makes an ideal dress for even
ing functions.

A Street Arab Becomes a Governor.


The career of the new Governor of
Alaska, John Green Brady, is a fine
example of the limitIess possibilities in
American life for business, political and
intellectual success. He started life in
New York City, as a veritable street
Arab, but fortune came his way and, in
the person of some humane society, res
cued him from demoralzing environments
and with number of other boys sent
him out to Indiana to find q home.
When the train arrived at Upton
certain judge, John Green, went to the
car and asked for the "ugliest, raeeedest
and most friendless boy in the crowd"
- ack" was presented in answer to this
call. The good judge seemed to have
got even more than he anticipated, for it
is said that at first he refused to take the
lad. But he finally agreed to try him,
and, when the child was sent to school,
he did so we'll that afterwards he was
sent to Harvard, and then to England to
take course in theology. Returning to
America, he went to Alaska as mission
ary, where, besides his regular svangelis-
tic work he made careful study of the
resources and natural history Of the
territory, so that his knowledge was used
more than once by the Po3ermeBt fol
statistical and scientific purposes, until
in the Harrison administration, be was
appointed territorial commissioner
His recent appointment as governor il
considered from every point of view a
good one.-Independent.

Miles and Knots.

A statute mile is $3.50 feet long. 1t is
our standard Of itinerary measure
adopted from the English, who in turn
adopted it from the Romans. A Roman
military pace by which distances were
me assured, was the length of the step
t AIKEN by the Roman soldiers, and ap.
proxi mately five feet long; Thousand of
these PAGES was called in Latin q mile.
The English mile is therefore a purely
arbitrary measure, enacted into legal
measure by statute passed during the
reign of Queen Elizabeth; it has no con-
nection with any scale in nature.
A nautical mile, on the other hand, is
equal in length to one sixtieth part of
the length of degree of great circle of
the earth. But the circumference of the
earth is nowhere true circle; it's radius
of curvature is variable; hence the nauti.
cal mile, as matter of fact, depends for
its length upon the shape as we'll as the
size of the globe sailed over, and hence.
strickly speaking, the length of the nau-
tical mile should vary with the latitude
from 6O46 feet at the equator to 61O9
feet at the pole. Such extreme accuracy
is not necessary in navigating, and cannot
be well attained without undue labor.
The English Admiralty, therefore, have
adopted $3.50 feet as the length Of q nau-
tical mile, which corresponds with the
length of one sixtieth of degree-or one
minute of arc-of great circle 10 lati-
tude 4S degrees. The United States
Coast Survey has adopted the value of a
nautical mile ''as equal to one.sixtieth
part of degree on the great circle of
sphere whose surface is equal to the sur
face of the earth" This gives the
length of one nautical mile as equal to
$3.50 ~ feet. which is very nearly the
value of the Admiralty mile adopted in
the English navy. Practically the nauti-
cal mile is 800 feet longer than the
statute mile. In other words, one nauti-
cal mile is equal to 1 1915 statute miles:
or one statute mile is equal to 0 800 nauti-
cal miles. Multiply nautical miles by
l.1515, and tho product will be statute
miles; or, multiply statute miles by
O.S69, and the product will be nautical
miles. s.-H0rper'S Round Table.

GEMS.

A man must be a pretty good orator to
make his troubles sound interesting to
others.
If you really have sounder religious
experience than your neighbor the way
to show it is by leading better life.
Religion is the mortar that binds soci-
ETY. together; the granite pedestal of
liberty; the strong backbone of the social
system.
No little character of the sterner sort
is wrought out of the overcoming of
small difficulties and the patient bearing
of petty annoyances.
There is no greater aid in securing en-
riohment and fertilization of ones whole
nature than intimate association with
superior men and women.
In the moral realm the greatest of all
powers is that of great personality
that which one masterful character exer-
cises over another character.
True nobility is shown by gentle con-
sideration and courtesy to all, and brings
its own reward in the extra fneness of
perception it's practice bestows.
Good resolutions are like vines, a mass
of beauty when supported on frame of
good deeds, but very poor things when
allowed to lie unheeded and unframed on
the ground.
A character which combines the love
of enjoyment with the love of duty and
the ability to perform it is the one whose
unfoldings give the greatest promise of
perfection.
Tomorrow you have no business with.
You steal il you touch tomorrow. It is
Gods. Every day has enough to keep
every man occupied without concerning
himself with the things that lie beyond.
God does not take away our gifts arbi-
trarily. He gives them to be used, and
if they are not used, they dwindle. they
vanish; the power goes, the will becomes
like an unused muscle-paralyzed, use
less.
1t may be truly said that no man does
any work perfectly who does not enjoy
his work. Joy in ones work is the con-
summate tool without which the work
may be done indeed but without its finest
perfection.
The shortness of life is bound mp with
it's fullness. 1t is to him who is most
active, always thinking, feeling, working
for people and for things, that life seems
short. Strip life empty and it will
seem long enough.

Why Leaves Change their Color.


Probably not one person in a thousand
knows just why leaves change their color
in the FALL" remarked an eminent
ootanist the other day to a Washington
reporter. "The green matter in the
tissues of leaf is composed of two
oolors, red and blue. When the san
ceases to flow in the Autumn the natural
growth of the tree is retarded and oxi-
dation of the tissue takes place. Under
certain conditions the green of the leaf
changes red; under different aspects it
takes on yellow or brown hue. The
difference in color is due to the difference
in combinations of the original constit-
uents OF the green tissues and to the
varying condition of climate, exposure
and soil. A dry, hot climate produces
more brilliant foliage than one that is
damp and cool. This is the reason that
American Autumns are so much more
gorgeous than those of England and
Scotland.
There are several things about leaves,
however, that even science e.Anut
explain. For instance, why one of two
trees growing side by side, of the same
age, and having the same exposure,
should take on brilliant red in the Fall
and the other should turn yellow, or why
one branch of tree should be highly
colored and the rest of the tree have only
yellow tint, are questions that are as
impossible to answer as why one member
of family should be perfectly healthy
and another sickly. Naples and oaks
have the brightest colors.
''People sh ould be careful not to touch
the gorgeous red and yellow Autumn
leaves of shrubs and climbing plants
which are not known to be harmless.
Our two poisonous native plants display
the most brilliant Autumnal colors of any
species in our woods and highways.
The poisonous sumach resembles a
group of young ash trees. The
poisonous ivy resembles the harmless
woodbine. Its leaves, however, have but
three leaflets, while those of the wood
bine have five. ''-ElnpSTG Gazette.

Promenade Costume.

Promenade costume of Castor color
ed wool, showing lines of a deeper
tone. The full fronts are composed of
soft silk and the free edges of the
basque are trimmed with black velvet
ribbon. The stylish hat has a soft
puffed crown of velvet, with aigrettes
rising at the left. The basque, which
is decided change from the round
waists of last season, has the fanciful
fronts arranged upon a fitted lining
that closes in the centre-front The
vest of silk is gathered at the neck and
laid at the waist line in plaits; a tiny
pointed girdle finishes the lower edge.
The closing is effected through the
centre-front, but may be made on the
left side, if preferred. The fronts that
open widely over the vest are uni
luely shaped. The back is fitted with
