New Sort of Steamer.

The new shallow draft steamers for
the British government will now soon
be placed at its disposal by Messrs.
Thornycroft g. Yarrow, who are con-
structing them. In the new vessels the
stern wheels are discarded and screws
utilized instead, but the draft-2O
inches-prevents their being placed at
the stern of the vessel. In the center of
the bottom of the boat is cavity, form
ed by the bottom shelving upward, in
which is placed the propeller. When at
rest, the propeller is not completely i'm
mersed, as the cavity contains air only,
the water, Of course, remaining at its
level. The propulsion of the vessel and
the consequent backward rush of water
from the fore part Of the boat cause
this cavity to be filled with water and
the screw to be immersed completely.
The cavity is, of course, SO designed as
to reduce the resistance of the further
flow Of water to the stern to mini
mum. Six of the boats are 100 feet
long; two others are 145 feet long, but
the latter are Of slightly greater draft.
They have square sterns and two rud-
ders, one at each corner. The machinery
is placed amidships, and forward on the
main deck are mounted two pound
er quick frers and four maxim guns,
and these are protected by light armor.
The usual flying" deck for navigating
in peace times is provided, and having
regard to the lightness of the vessels
the quarters for officers and men are
very comfortable. and Iron.

A Mechanical Emperor.

10 judge from the following anec-
dote, Emperor Menelek of Abyssinia
has a mechanical turn of mind not
usually supposed to belong to the
natives of the dark continent. 1t
seems that M. Lagarde, the French
minister to that country, having
heard that the empress desired to
possess a sewing machine, took
pains to have one included among
his baggage, but the roads of Abyss
s1nia are capable of much improve
ment, and, although the machine
was well packed, the accidents of
the trip left it at the end in sorry
condition. When the case was open
ed, NJ. Lagarde found, to his cha
grin, that the machine positively
refused to work. Not being versed
in the methods of making repairs of
this sort, he was at a loss what to
do, when Menelek approached. "Let
me look at it, /" he said. He scru
tinized the machine, examined its
plan OF construction and, catching
sight of a little spring which had
become bent, remarked, why, you
have only to straighten that out,
and the machine will work" No
sooner said than done. With sharp
blow from hammer the negus put
matters to rights, and the next min
ute the machine was running ad-
mirably, to the intense delight of
the empress and the natural amaze
ment of M. Lagarde.

The Piapist,s Left Hand.

There is no reason why the left
hand of the amateur should not be
as we'll trained, so far as the train
ing goes, as that of the artist. It
should from the first start be COM
PEELED to obey the emotions, the in
tellect and the will. A great deal of
time is wasted in the pianist's mu-
steal education by practicing as
much with the stronger hand as
with the weaker, precisely as it is
wasted by practicing as much with
the stronger as with the weaker fin
gers. In both cases tho stronger
continually increases in strength,
while the gap between this and the
weaker does not lessen.
Trashy piano music, with thin
harmonies, gives the lions share of
what effort it necessitates to the
right hand, while of the left is re-
CURED but feeble drumming. All
good, well written music, whether
difficult OF easy, makes equal dc.
mands on both hands. The faithful
teacher should see to it that the stu
dent does such music justice by
training the left hand to equal skill
with the right. Where an instructive
preference is shown for the left the
right must be the more carefully
drilled, but in this instance. as has
been shown, the student is at Ger.
tain advantage.-Harper's Bazaar.

ed Apaches wuz erbout as oneIy as
eny sort of Indians, and not a day
passed but what we fellers down to
PiZen Gulch heard erbout men los
ing their scalps and women and
children being butchered like forty,
the news coming from way out on
the frontier. l wuz sorter getting
grip on Arizony jess then, and
didn't want to lose it, so jess staid
away from the line and tended ter
business with one eye open. We
had ter get out and hustle, however.
Indians wuz getting more rampa-
geous every day, and finally band
of the measly, numbering robbers rid
inter a small settlement erbout so
miles from the Gulch and killed ev-
ely soul thar, not leaving one to tell
the tale. This riled the boys at the
Gulch, and we thought the time had
come to do something. Two hours
after we got the news we wuz out
for biz. Werode away, and an hour
afore shutdown we reached the place
whar the settlement had been
Waal, sir, I've seen many odd sights
in my life, but that little settlement
wuz erbout the saddest thing that
ever met these old eyes not so old
then neither. Ashes showed whar
some cabins had stood, and thar, too,
could be seed what remained of
home things, and jess on the out
skirts of the settlement we found
the bodies of the folks what had
formed the peaceful village.
''Men, women and children alike
had gone to satisfy the awful greed
for blood. They had been dragged
together, and the bodies-must have
been erbout 90 of them-wuz piled
in terrible heap, mutilated and
horrible to look at. The saddest
sight of it all wuz the form of lit
tie baby. The small critter wuz
lying on the breast of a woman,
maybe its mother, and it's little fists
wuz fastened in the long hair that
wuz all tangled and fiowinglike. At
fust thoughtit wuz sleeping, but it
wuzn't. 1t wuz dead, and little
round, black hole right in the mid
die of its forehead showed whar the
bullet had done its work. Thar it
wuz, a monument of Indian ferocity,
and the poor little limbs of the baby
wuz cuddled up and its white face
wuz smiling jest as though death had
caught it while it wuz looking right
inter its mothers eyes. The sight
of that. little one thar, naked to the
skies, made the grim look on the
faces of the boys jess kinder deepen
like until they seemed desperate and
deadly. We left the place without a
word, but when we crept up on the
band what did the work we paid
them back to the death, even if it
wuz two weeks later. Them wuz
bad days, l tell you.-Mexico Two

Tardy Injustice.

Seven thousand five hundred dollars
has been awarded by the state board of
claims to John Roberts of New York as
damages for his confinement in state
prison for 20 months for crime he did
not commit. Roberts, saloon and res
taurant keeper, was arrested in Janu-
airy, 1877, on charge of burglary and
was convicted and sentenced to 90 years
imprisonment Two years later, when
it had been conclusively proved that he
was innocent, he was pardoned. In 1895
he was restored to citizenship, and the
legislature authorized him to sue the
state for false imprisonment. He sued
for $16S, 976-S10O,0O0 personal dam
ages, 100000 business loss, and the rest
interest. Now, 20 years after the wrong
was done him, he gets $1,000.
1t seems reasonable to infer from this
award that the state board of claims
will never die of enlargement of the
heart. It finds a precedent for it's award
in the action Of the old state board of
audit. which gave$S, 900 in a similar case
in 1879. When the law does wrong,
as in Roberts case, PREPARATION is very
hard to get, and usually inadequate
when obtained. 1t is nobody's business
to set right the mistakes of official jus
tice. The theory is that justice does not
err, and when she does it seems to be
the practice to ignore it as far as pos
sible, to do as little as possible for the
victim, and do that little meanly, re-
luctantly and tardily.-Harper's Week

1t has always been question with
the country newspaper man what
he wouid do if an indignant woman
set out to horsewhip him. Some
years ago w. w. Wick of Topeka
was running a country paper, and a
woman assailed him on the main
street of the town. He gathered
her up under his arm and paraded
around the square. She kicked and
squirmed, but he marched laughing
ly along, displaying her to the crowd
that had gathered. 1t mortified the
woman SO much that she left town
