l cruises the cadets .rs

On the annual cruises the cadets gre given practical instruction Tn gunnery. both by the officers and men. for among the sailors there Is always plenty Of knowledge requisite to handling bat. tery. which. while 1t is not told in the language of text books, Is perhaps quits as effective in point of teaching the cadet the practical method. It is ueees. sary for the cadet to wait until he gets aboard one of the cruisers to witness the workings of the larger guns. putin the handling of the rapid-flre guns. by the time he leaves the naval academy he can. if he wishes. be an expert.
 Another thing the cadets are taught is how to handle small boat. and for the purpose of giving them thorough instruction in all the boats they may be called upon to command when off, cers aboard a man-of-war these boats will be carried by the new training ship: One 30-foot steam cutter. one 30- foot launch two 2s-foot cutters. one 2s- foot whaleboat, one 2s-foot gig whale boat, one 20-foot dinghy.
 Just when the new ship will slide off The ways Is not known. but whenever she does the chances are that one of the trimmest and most creditable vessels for the purpose for which she is in- tended that Uncle Sam ever owned will ] make her first plunge into old ocean. PHILIP HICHBORN.

 For daily wear two new models ln the boys suit have appeared-the Russian costume, made of knickerbockers, and Russian blouse in soft, brown material The blouse is quite long, gathered in under belt of tan leather. It has big sleeves, plaited flat on the shoulders and again plaited to fit the wrist. These sleeves are. however, often replaced by others that are tight-fitting, for some boys see even in them "girlish' tend encv. The collars are of the broad' square. sailor variety.
 The second model is middy suit with short. tight trousers. Instead Of a blouse square-cut Eton jacket is Worn' chained together over a horizontally braided vest of contrasting cloth.

 Dave, however, would not be satis- fled. He told his friends that he was going to fix the newspaper chaps, and especially Wilson. He came to the of flee. once while I was gone, and again while I was there, and talked roughly On the second occasion l spoke sharp lv to him and told him was respon- sible for the article and competent to take the consequences.

1 Der of the firm of Hong, Chung & Go. In the fall of 1891 he went to China. and he returned in December. 1894. Meanwhile the firm of which he was Il member had got into difficulties; and it was finally sold out. In the spring of 1895 the member in question ceased to be merchant, and became a laborer. Following the tendency of his race in America, he took to washing clothes.
 During his absence in China the ex- clu.son laws of May 5, 1S02, requiring registration within one year, and the act of November }. 1893, requiring reg istration within six months, were en- acted; and before his return the time during which he could have ob- tained certificate, if he had applied for one as q laborer, had expired. Of course, he has no such certificate.
 Now he wants to go back to China with the privilege of returning. As a laborer it appears that he cannot do that, and he is no longer a merchant. So 1t looked as if his little visit home was spoiled. But when the question be- gan to be considered by his friends in the Fifth avenue Sunday school. an alarming phase or the situation was discovered. Not only would he be pro hibited from returning from China, if he went there, but it seemed probable that he could neither go nor stay; that he had no legal status in this country at all. He was Chinese laborer with out a certificate, and the treaty with his native country afforded him no pro- tection.
 When this percolated through the Fifth Avenue Sunday school-where the oriental gentleman is very popu- lar-there was great sorrow, and the case was immediately laid before the treasury department at Washington. Solicitor O'Connell was asked to look up the law, and he has just made his re- port. 1t will carry some comfort to the Fifth Avenue Sunday school if not to the Chinaman himself. Mir. OCon- nell finds that iii similar cases the courts have tempered law with a mer- ciful interpretation. The Chinaman in question will probably not be dis turbed in his residence here. 1t was an impossibility for him to get certif- cate. and therefore he will not be re- quired to have one; but he can't go back to China on visit. If he goes. he must stay. He is 3 laborer now, though unregistered, and is subject to the law. The question is whether his longing for sight of the Celestial em- pire or his love for his teacher and as- sociates in the Fifth Avenue Sunday school will carry the day. He must choose between them.

ter skirt will give the home dressmaker many point on how to construct a pretty garment of the humber ma terials which are within her means.
 In the first place. petticoats now have flounees much higher toward the waist line than formerly; indeed, some are he- ruffied half way up, and they indicate the direction which skirts are takino For, as outer skirts become narrower the width of the petticoat sbrinl1s in like pfoportion; and it is to overcome this lack of width that so many flounces are used.
 Skirts are corded to make them stand out. but the cording now rarely appears in the hem, but on the ruffles and at tbe headings of the ruf11es. Some skirts are even corded above the founces on the plain body.
 Skirts of moreen are very effective and now that this material comes in so many of the new colorings, :a many cases they are quite as pretty as silk. Most charming is skirt of cerise moreen trimmed with French 1oupee of the same, the latter covered with tiny rufiles of cerise taffeta of q rather Iiobt- CT shade. A skirt of this character is easily made at home. because it requires no cording. the moreen having all neees- sary stiffness.
 Instead of eording. silk skirts often have haircloth facing, which arrange ment, however, is not to be recon mended for skirt that is intended for use in damp weather.
 To give additional warmth some skirts are lined with fine French fan nel, which adds little to the weight.
 Many of the skirts have a decidedly novel cut at the back. Instead of being gathered on yoke, the skirt is made very full and double at the back. This fullness is gathered on ribbons about four inches apart. and between them is a small cushion stuffing to replace the separate hustle.
 Velvet kniekerboel5ers a short velvet continental coat. white brocade waist coat-such is the evening dress of the boy of to-day. And very quaint he looks in garb borrowed from revolution ary grandfatbers. particularly if lie wear fl with soft frills of lace on erayat and cuff.

be to furnish steam for the steam wind lass. steam pumps, heating. and for the dynamos. The vessel is also wired for electric lighting. Steam is to be the power which will operate the distiIling apparatus and will be utilized in the refrigerating plant. To those not pos sessing knowledge of affairs aboard ship, if may sound rather odd to hear of steam in connection with refrigerat- ing plants, but steam in this part of vessels equipment is just as neces- sary as the ice in the big refrigerator of private house.
 The hull of the new vessel is to be of steel. strong and imperyious to the borers that affliet the bottoms of yes sels in certain sections of the word. Her bottom, however, will be sheathed in yellow pine and coppered. She will be ship-rigged, with q total sail area of 1G975 feet. This will be a noble spread of canvas, and will include all the sails with the handling of which the Annapolis cadet should become fa- milar before he takes up his duties in the navy.
 The complement of the vessel in- cludes the captain, ten wardroom ofli- cers. meaning officers holding commis- sions; two warrant officers, sometimes called petty officers; 1s0 cadets and q crew of 90 men. When the cadets go on tleir cruise they are required to per form all those duties that fall to the lot of able seamen. that concern what is known as the handling Of the ship;
 that is. furling and unfurling the sails, making necessary repairs 10 the rig ging. keeping watch, etc. The crew of 90 men referred 10 are really the la borers of the ship, the men who holy stone the deck, which means 10 scrub il; who have to keep everything trim and taut, and whose iron muscles and experience render them capable of handling the ship, if necessary, in a gale. where the cadets if left 10 them selves would be apt to come to grief.
 Not only do the men perform these tasks. but they teach the cadets much of seamanship that the men before the mast can impart to the novice if he desires. So it can be seen that the men of the training ship are really an im- portant part of the human machinery aboard the vessel.
 In the matter of masts the new vessel will be thoroughly mp 10 date. Her lower masts and her lower yards will be of steel. the balance of yellow pine or spruce. To sailor these facts show that it will take far worse than the or dinary gale 10 spring these masts- l that is. to loosen them. In all that goes to constitute the rigging of the ship the very best aaterial to be obtained is utilized. so that many of the dangers that fall 10 the lot of Jack afloat in a sailing vessel will be absent in the cadet training ship.
 The armament of the vessel consists of what are known as light batteries There will be six four-ineh rapid-fire guns on the gun deck and four six. pounders and two one-pounders on the spar deck. Thus it would happen. fl I became necessary for the training shiT to show her teeth. she would be able tc make very respectable appearance

 The name of this oriental was con- cealed even from the officials at Wash- ington. His case was laid before the treasury department by Seth B.

THE LAW LIBRARY OF CONGRESS.
A New Rule by Librarian Young to
Aid Law Students.

Any one who has ever had any work to
do in the law library of Congress must
have been struck with the 'cabined crib
bed and confined" nature of the quarters
where the books are shelved. In a room,
occupying space hardly fifty square feet
in size, there has been shelved collection
twice as large as any other law library in
the world. There has been loud and long
continued complaint on the part of mem
bers of Congress and visiting lawyers with
cases pending in the Supreme Court
against the crowding that has been neces-
sary to make these books available for use.
One of the justices of the Supreme Court is
quoted as saying that within his own eX-
perience fewer lawyers prepared their cases
IN Washington, because, though they had
fewer books at home, they had far better
accommodations there Nevertheless. Con-
gress has required the law library to be
retained where it now is. in the old Su-
preme Court room, and Librarian Young,
as practical administrator, has faced the
problem of relieving the congestion in the
only way open to HIM, and that is to make
room for some whose needs are less
urgent in another place, and SO get more
room for those whose needs must be first
satisfied.
Mr. Young has fixed upon what seems
and Will doubtless prove a happy plan in
making the entire collection more useful
than 1t has ever been in the past. He has
established for young men not practition-
ers a students collection in the new build
ing, consisting OF several thousand vol
umeS, comprising every well-known law
treatise in the language, together with
every book printed in England or the Unit
ed States, specially designed for the use of
those who are in training for admission to
the bar. In the new building each law
student like other students, will have a
separate desk amid surroundings the most
beautiful and imposing. If the precise
volume wanted is not at hand it can be
speedily procured through the tunnel lead
ing to the Capitol, and then, in addition,
the immense stores of general literature,
biography history and economics in the
main collection are right at hand and at
the st-dent's service. He can, too, IL he
cares, have the use of these at all hours
from . O'Clock in the morning until 10
O'Clock at night.
Librarian Young's thoughtfully conceived
device for mending matters In the law
library and removing any just ground of
complaint on the part of congressman and
practitioners will work admirably and to
the entire satisfaction of all concerned.

The science of Dentistry has pro-
gressed just like everything else.
The newest idea is that of a number
OF specialists combining, ard turning
out the very best class of dental
work at popular prices! Each spe-
cialist has department in charge.
and by reason of doing only the one
thing, does it extra well and quicker,
too. Then the extensive buying of
materials (none but the very best
are used makes the cost far less to
us than to the isolated dentist.
What we are thus enabled to save
we take off our tariff of prices. And
remember every bit of dental work
done here is GUARANTEED. We
charge nothing for consultation, ex-
animation, giving estimates, etc.
