ing Vessels and ON Steamers.
When the loading of ship has been
completed and the matches have been
put on, every precaution is taken to
make them tight, so as to keep the car
go dry during the voyage. The matches
are in sections. which rest on frames
laid across the hatchway. All the seams
around the coamings of the hatchway
and between the sections of the hatch
are calked and then pitched or painted,
the entire hatch Is then covered with
tarapulins, which are battened down at
the sides. The ship may be months at
sea. She may take over her bows solid
water that will sweep aft, submerging
her decks like river, and she is likely
to have more or less water on deck at
any time. But none of it gets below.
The ships matches are as impervious to
water as her sides. says the New York
Sun.
On steamers when the hatches are
put on they rest upon strips of rubber,
and they are secured by means of set
screws, making the hatch tight in sub
stantially the same manner that a fruit
Jar is sealed.

ROYALTY DANCED IN BALLET.
In the "Good Old Days" 1t Was Con-

In the "Good Old Days" 1t Was Con-
sidered Proper in England.
Many of the members of the English
royal family are knownto take a keen
interest in the drama, some of them
even delighting to take part in theat-
rical performances. AS far as is known,
however, they have never indulged in
ballet dancing on their own account
1t was different, however, in the days OF
Henry WILL, for that jovial monarch
of the many wives actually encouraged
his daughter, Princess Mary, to appear
before the court as the principal dancer
in several ballets and pantomimes.
When the princess first appeared in one
on these ballets she wore black Grape
mask, in the character of an Ethiopian
princess, but she soon became en-
boldened, and freely took her part as a
dancer in the court balls and pageants.
Princess Mary appeared before the
French ambassadors at Greenwich pal
ace in the spring of 1897, with five of her
ladies in waiting, disguised in Icelandic
dresses, and the contemporary chron-
icles inform us that, with six lords in
the costume of the same country. she
danced Justify about the hall" At
another banquet and masque, before
the same ambassadors, Princess Mary
issued from a cave with her seven
women, all appareled after the Roman
fashion, in rich cloth of gold and Grim
