Screw Versus Paddle Wheel Steamers.

A screw worked by high speed quad.
ripple or multiple expansion engine is I'm.
doubtedly the best means of propulsion
for merchant steamer engaged in deep
sea trade, but for shallow water naviga-
ton side wheeler is preferable, for as a
propelling instrument the paddle wheel is
not inferior to the screw, while its action
Is quicker In stopping and starting the
hull, and side wheelers can back ON a
straight course, which cannot be accom-
plished by a screw steamer. Moreover, q
side wheeler does not sag at the stern when
under way, and this is very important
feature in its favor. The screw is moro
liable to be disabled by picking up sub
merged log or by striking some such OBJ.
struction and breaking two or more blades
This is not an unusual occurrence.
As regards the seaworthiness of side
wheel steamers the immunity from dis
aster enjoyed by such lines as the Holy
head packets, the isle of Man steamers and
the greensboro Flushing boats should be
sufficient to prove their stanchness for
channel service, but more signal proof
of their safety may be cited.
The Cunard Royal Mail Steamship com.
pany have during the last Is or 20 years
lost a number of screw steamers, accom-
panied by loss of life and letters, but pre-
vious to that it was their proud boast that
they had never lost ship, a life or letter
for period of 80 years, and the ramark-
able fact In connection with such marked
success Is that during the whole Of that
time their best boats were sidewheelers--

The following incidents In the life of A,
7. Stewart, illustrating his thrifty habits
and firm principles, were related recently
in The Commercial Bulletin:
After he became a millionaire he kept
his frugal habitswhich he had contracted
in his youth, Riding down Broadway in
a stage with his custom house broker he
dropped only one fare in the box, remark
ing, Il suppose the firm pays your fare"
Another popularity was that he allowed
no employee to have matches on his per-
son while in the store. One day Mr. Stew
art entered the basement in company with
a gentleman to whom he was showing the
building. 1t being rather dark he told the
porter "a raw Irish lad) to go to the office
and get some matches with which to light
the gas. Matches, is it," cried the lad,
producing a handful from his pocket.
Here $ all ye want!' Mr. Stewart glanced
at tho matches, looked earnestly at the
boy, then told him to go up to the count
ing room and get his pay. The lad was
honest, diligent and faithful but this had
no weight with Mr.. Stewart as long as no
disobeyed orders. The most interesting
part of this story Is that the discharged
porter is mono other than tho Hon. Bourke
Cochran,
