by a conversation he couldn't help over

crowded. There were several ladies on the

to the involuntary listener.

The trouble is the men don't believe we are

It's too bad. That man has been bending

TwIN-scREw STEAMERS.
Additional Safety Afforded by tho
Modern System of ship
Propulsion.

A great means of safety to the newer
ships is given through the twin-screw
system. With the wooden wheel steam
ers which once crossed the ocean safe
ty could not well be mentioned, for in
the loose construction of the whole
ships frame an overwhelming sea could
easily sweep away the wheel and wheel
casing and the ship drift out upon
the wide ocean as a helpless wreck,
because it had lost its power to steer,
II it did not entirely capsize from the
loss of its equilibrium. But the older
single-screw ships have disadvantage
over the twin-screw ships. For if any
damage is done to the engine or the
screws they must give up. the forward
motion by steam and with the help of
the sails they have to try to reach har-
Dor where they can repair the damage.
With the high-built decks which catch
so much wiad and with the proportion.
ally small sails this is not always pos
sible, and often they must pay hum
dgeds of dollars to have themselves
towed in by salvage steamers. These
disadvantages of the single-screw ships
have caused the larger ships to adopt
almost universally the double screws,
which are worked by two engines en-
.tirely Independent of each other. If
through any accident one screw should
become useless the ship could with the
other alone reach its destination with
out much loss of speed. A modern twin-
screw fast steamer which is furnished
with sufficient number of water-tight
matches and enough strong fastenings
is very safe, and powerful effort of
nature must be made if such ship il
lost.-Max Hahn, in Chautauquan.

FEMALE UNDERrAKERs.
These San Francfsco women VINO
Have Adopted the Business
Rather Like 1t.

We were talking about everyday top
les when my friend happened to say she
was in the undertaking business.
"Why, how in the world did you have
grit enough to take hold of such an oc-
cupation? Did it not seem horrible to
you?" / asked.
"Of course it did at first, but made
up my mind to grin and bear it and l
succeeded"
Mrs. Parks is one of those large, good
natured women who seem to have nerve
and ambition to attempt almost any
thing. She had served a regular train
ing course in the strange profession.
'And how did you conclude to be-
come an undertaker?" asked.
"Just by the merest chance she re-
piled. 81 called upon a friend who was
just getting ready to go to the Golden
Gate undertaking parlors to view the
body of her sister-in-law. Ivolupteered
to go with her and dress the hair of the
deceased. The offer was kindly ac-
cepted. AS the body was not quite
ready, the manager requested us to
wait for about Is minutes. Before many
minutes passed he came in and asked
how the lady had worn her hair. told
him / had come for the purpose of
dressing it. 'Oh, have you? Then
please step this way he said.
1.-THE manager assisted me, and, as
was leaving the establishment, he COM
plimented me on the way had handled
the head and advised me to learn the
business.
"But from whom?' asked.
'''Oh, I'll teach you. Come in some
time
"'All right replied.
II thought, however, he was only jol-
Ing, but, as / was in earnest, called
again. He seemed surprised to see me.
Ibid you really mean it? thought
you were only joking. Have you truly
decided to learn"
"'Why, of course answered, If you
will teach me-"
After Mrs. Parks learned how to lay
out body for burial she entered col

takers and doctors of the United States
are at the head of this school, and come
here about once every six or seven
years.
Out of class of 80 graduates, three
were women, namely, Mrs. Parks, of
San Francisco; Miss Wood, of Oakland,
and Miss Rean, of Sacramento.
'Did you ever attend an autopsy ?"
asked her.
"Oh, yes, and the first one l attended

to be firm, and kept up to the end, al
though several times felt very uneasy.
At the conclusion, one of the doctors
congratulated me, and said he had

tended"
Mrs. Parks complained that the ma
jority of undertakers are afraid to in
itiate woman into the business. As
one undertaken said tc her: ''Why
should we give you money that we can
earn ourselves? AS long as the public
does not know that lady can be en-

SOME SPRING DISHES.
How to Make Deep Dish Apple Pie
and Variety of Delicious Egg
Preparations.

~
icious deep-dish pie. The apples must
be in distinct slices, white and firm.
Mrs. Cheerup, who serves it frequently
to an appreciatiye family, peels and
quarters the fruit and inverts a small
teacup in the center of two-quart bak
ing dish, slices the large quarters each
three times and puts them in three lay
ers. Between the layers she puts tiny
bits of yellow lemon peel, without a
particle of white adhering, table
spoonful of sugar TO each layer, one on
top, and over all the piece of lemon
and cup of the sirup that was in the
apples. She is famous for her light,
faky, but not overrich piecrust; with
this she lines the sides and covers the
top, and when the pie comes to the
table there is great rejoicing. On high
days soft castard or cream is eaten
over this pie.

teaspoonfuls of curry powder, ~ pints

How Gold Was Found ON Klondike

How Gold Was Found on Klondfke.
The famous Bonanza creek and the
more famous Eldorado creek are very
like ordinary, everyday creeks in ap-
pearance--a little less civilized. per-
haps, than creeks to be met with in
the east. There are men living in Alas
ka to-day who ,,have hunted moose over
these creeks dozens of times; but, as
the old miners say, there were no sur
face indications TO lead anyone to sup
pose that gold might be found in them,
SO hundreds of miners passed by in
their boats, going to Forty Mile and
Circle City. The finding of such gold
is always an accident, and the old
hands are usually the last to realize
the truth. "Stick George" Cormack
and his squaw's relatives camped on
the creek for dinner one day, and some
how got to digging, and washed out
some gold. He went to Forty Mile and
made claim for discovery, and soon the
news spread like wildfire.--John Sid
ney Webb, in Century.

Spring is the Time
When Impurities in the Blood
Should Be Expelled
AmerIoa's Greatest Medicine Ie the
Best Spring Medicine.

In winter months the perspiration, 50
profuse In summer, almost ceases. This
throws back into the system the impurities
that should have been expelled through
the pores of the skin. This and other
causes makes the blood impure in spring.
Boils, pimples, humors and eruptions then
appear or some more serious disease may
take Its start. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
remedy for impure blood in all its forms,
as proved by its marvellous cures of blood
diseases. 1t Is therefore the medicine for
you to take in the spring. 1t expells all
humors, and puts the whole system in good
condition for warmer weather.

Hill Out of His Hole.

fF the reports that come from New
York are true, David B. Hill will
soon be in eruption again. Mr. Hill
apparently believes that the time has
come when it is safe for him to end his
long silence and resume the proclama-
tion of his own opinion that he is
better democrat than almost anybody
else. He would like to have the public
erase from the records all that portion
OF them that relates to his conduct
from the time of the democratic ma
tional convention in 1896 until the
official announcement Of the result of
the mayoralty election in Greater New
York. MIR. Hill especially requests that
the cowardly manner in which he hood
winked the New York democratic con-
yention in 1896 be not laid to his charge.
This ex-senator bobs up in the city of
New York and makes on his own be-
half the announcement that he has
resumed political activity. He lets the
information follow that he proposes to
have hand in the management Of New
York democracy. that he does not
aspire to the senatorship that he is
willing to assist" Mr.. Murphy, if that
gentleman wants another term, but that
il he, Hill, can stop 1t, Croker will not
have the say in the next democratic
state convention.
If the New York democrats let Hill
get hold of the machine again. II will
be a wonder. The politics of 1896 did
not bring To public notice a politician
more contemplate than he or a pubic
man more cowardly. He turned his
back on the national ticket; he did what
he could 10 wreck his own states dem
ocratic ticket; he did not face the
storm; he went into hiding. IN all the
disturbance following the free coinage
declaration at Chicago. in the demo-
cratic national convention, not a citizen
of the United States revealed as did
David b. Hill, the utter lack of charac-
ter and manliness and courage.
In New York. the other day Mr.. Hill
was called to account on his record.
1T is true" he replied. that | took no
active part in the presidential canvass
of 1896, but | voted the straight demo-
cratic ticket just the same" As # that
Were something in return for which the
six millions OF men who voted for
Bryan ought TO take off their hats to
Hill. II he did vote for Bryan. that
was the act Of dishonest man, be-
cause Mr.. Hill had let everybody know
that. according to his conscience and
his judgment. it was dangerous to let
Bryan get the presidency.
However that may be. Hill is going
To catch on If he can. No prediction
that Is safe to go by can be made re-
specting the results he will reach. be-
cause the politics of the year in the
state Of New York is going to present
several novel features. and there's no
telling who is going TO be on top. But
IL the democrats Of the state, after their
recent experience with him, have 10 ae-
cept Hill for leader. they're in mighty
hard lines.
