4 PLEASING VISION.

When what has happened is consid- cred it is not so very ridiculous to look forward with confidence to the time when the Atlantic can be crossed in two days Two boats now in process of construction at Wellsend-o -on-the- Tyne, are exciting lively interest. They are to be fitted with the new system of turbine propulsion, which proved so brilliant a success on that flying won der, Turbinia- They are both much larger than the pioneer vessel, and both are guaranteed, by the builders con- tract, to attain a minimum speed of thirtytive knots. It is hoped that they may reach fifty. One of them is for the British Admiralty, while the owner of the other is uncertain. The sugges- tion has been made that seagoing ves- sels of this kind might run on regular trips from the west coast of Ireland to Halls Bay in Newfoundland, where they would connect with the railroad system. This would make forty-hour trip across the Atlantic possible The distance from Galway Bay in Ireland to Halls Bay in Newfoundland is only 1850 miles, whereas the distance from Liverpool to New York is 3,130 miles. Tn connection with this scheme, 1t has been proposed that tunnel be built between Scotland and Ireland Sur veys have been made by engineers at the narrowest point between the two countries and the construction of a tunnel is reported to be feasible. The intending traveller to America would then go from London straight to Gal way Bay in Ireland without change There he would board one of the new turbine transatlantic steamers, which in less than two days would land him at Halls Bay, Newfoundland.
 Two days of seasickness is certainly much better than six days of that same.

4 BIC BOSTON PUzzLE.

If Benjamin Franklin is where he can
 see what is going on in Boston he is
 doubtless interested. When he died he left to the town of Boston one thou
 sand pounds sterling, or the equivalent of $5000, which was to form fund, to
 be under the control of board consist ing of the selectmen united with the
 ministers of the oldest Episcopalian, Congregational and Presbyterian | churches in the town. These were to let out this money on interest at per cent per annum to such young married artificers, under the age of twenty-five,
 as had served an apprenticeship in Bos- | ton, had faithfully performed it's duties and who could obtain references of good moral character and surety from | two respectable citizens. The money was to be loaned in sums not exceeding 1 $500, nor less than $75, to be given to them for the purpose of enabling them | to start in their trades. Dr. Franklin | assumed that there would be large l demand for this money, that the inter- | est would be compounded, and at the l end of one hundred years the trustees | of the fund would have at their disposal e131, ,0O0, or, say, $655, ,O0O. Of this, a1O0,- l 900, or $500O0O, was then to be devoted i to such public works as the managers | considered desirable, the doctor speci- l flying "fortifcations, bridges, aqueducts, 1 public buildings, baths, pavements, or whatever may make living in the town
 more convenient to it's people and ren- | der it more agreeable to strangers re- sorting hither for health or temporary residence" The remaining s31,OGO, or l $155,O00, was to be loaned as the first | fund had been, for another hundred years, at the end of which, in Frank | lins opinion, it would amount to sum
 larger than e4OOO,OOO, or $2O, 900, 900, of which one-quarter was to go to the city | of Boston and three-quarters to the State of Massachusetts, to be used for
 such purposes as each government saw | fit.
 | Wise and far-seeing as Dr. Franklin
 was he did not see that the time would
 come when his money couldn't be used
 as he wanted it used, and he greatly miscalculated the amount his fund
 would yield. There is now, it appears,
 about SS22, ,O00 available for use by the | city of Boston, and the puzzle is to know how to use it. The matter has been in the courts and it has been made
 clear that the mayor, the members of
 the board of aldermen and the minis
 ters of the three oldest churches in Boston of the Episcopal, Congregations

safely go is shown in the accompanying picture of a brown velvet hat trimmed butterfly pleating of ecru lace, black quills and showy buckle. This seems striking, but so do the hats that tilt over their wearer's noses, and the in- termediate arrangements lose all indi- viduality by comparison with the oth- CTS.
 The brilliant colors of last seasons millinery will again prevail, probably more generally because it begins to look as if costumes would tend towards simplicity of color scheme. Brilliant straWs, chenille shapes, braided ribbon, hats spangled in fiishscale fashion, all of these appear among the new models. Most women should be content to wear the hat bought late in the spring. If it was not too pronounced in design it will not be out of place now though 1t may not represent the latest freak. Then wait till at least November before making your choice in millinery. Re- member that freak hats always appear at first, and must be discarded later in the season when their freakiness of fends. The veil will be little worn. The hair is supposed to have grown out and be carefully enough combed to stand the cool breezes without disar- rangement.
 Colors for winter dresses are a mat ter to keep an expert guessing, but the present indications are that high shades will end with fall, and winter will find subdued shades on top. Dress- es of the sort shown here are what gives promise of bright colors in head gear. With such inconspicuous dress stuff so simply made, a woman will be pretty sure to yearn for something gay with which to top it, though she may be content with the new stylishness of brown. This dress was ecru ladies' cloth. It's skirt was trimmed with a bias fold in imitation of a Spanish fiounce, and the waist had vest of white cloth set in at the shoulders and ending just below the bust It's revers were faced with lace.

rnE MAaIo oF 4 aREAr NAME.

IHE mAGLC OF Il GREAT NAME.
 Whats in name? A great deal sometimes. For instance, how much there is in the mighty name of Jeffer- son! Jeffersonian Democracy! How grand, sonorous, significant and defi- mite! Jeffersonian bimetalllsm! How solid and soothingl Resolved, That the Democracy of Connecticut is now as it has ever been, in favor of bimetal- hsm, as enunciated by Jefferson, af- fording as 1t does the most stable stan dard of value, and we declare ourselves unalterably opposed to monometallism of any kind" It was the magic name of Jefferson in this cute resolution that calmed the troubled Democratic seas in Bridgeport Wednesday, and brought or der out of chaos and harmony out of discord. But there is a sad suspicion creeping about that a noble name has been misused and it's power joined to false pretence. If that suspicion is un- founded we shall be glad to see it promptly jumped on and annihilated. When and where, o gently-cooing and truly Jeffersonian Register did Thomas Jefferson ever "enunciate" bi- metallism? Tell us, under penalty of being reduced to 1s.

selves to another boat or land near a friendly village, where a division of the spells takes place.
 These pirates, the consul points out, are not devoid of a certain chivalrous feeling. Cases have been known where after having robbed some rich passengers and made a good haul, they restored to the poorer passengers what had already been taken from them. On other occasions they have overpowered the master and crew of a launch and borrowed, the use of the vessel for a few hours, during which they have overhauled a junk known to have valu ables on board Having pillaged the junk they have steamed away to their own village, and before landing they have offered to pay the master for the time his launch has been detained. This is quite in Ralph the Rover style.

PIRACY IN THE EAST.

Piracy in Eastern waters is more rife now than ever it was. So it would ap- pear from the latest report of our consul at Canton. This is how the robbers proceed: They have no armed craft of their own with which to give chase and run down their victims. The usual plan is for band of half a
 dozen men to go on board passenger launch disguised as honest men. When a suitable spot Is reached they throw off all disguise, overawe the crew and passengers by fourishing re- voIvers, and then half the party stand by ready to shoot while the rest pro- ceed to search the passengers and their luggage. and where they have taken all they want they transfer them

The Little Soldiers.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 I wonder how many people as they gaze with awe, alright, curiosity or sympathy, as the case may be, realize the heroic suffering of the little ones confined months, aye, years, within hospital walls.
 One would be astonished to see with what courage a puny child can have a dressing done, that is, a wound cared for. The strangest part of it is they so soon forget their pain amidst dolls, toys and books. How happy they are when playing out on the pleasant yer andah of the hospital. It is then they forget everything except school, and with one of the little tots for teacher it is a pleasing, yet piteous sight as they hobble around on their crutches.
 One of the oldest and best hospitals in the State of Connecticut, in the chill dren's ward some years ago, were sev- eral eases of hip disease. Everything possible was done for the health and happiness of each, but some of the little deformed bodies were incurable.
 Sixteen snow-white cots, eight on each side, are to be seen as one enters the ward; some contain twenty two, but we are interested in the children at present. Number one held chron- ic case of hip disease. One would scarcely believe the little round face could have such a tiny body. Fanny was a dainty child, and her parents took delight in bringing her pretty garments to wear She was of ner- vous temperament, and if the nurses who were her favorites happened to be off duty, or otherwise employed, and could not dress the wound when the time came. the child would scream with nervous fear and arouse the inmates. Sometimes the superintendent had to be summoned to quiet her; but in the hands of those she loved Fanny was always obedient. Surely no one would have the heart to blame the sufferer could they have seen the deep sinus that had to be cleansed, probed and packed with iodoform gauge twice daily. It was a deep incision and oft times the child would cringe at the ap- proach of the probe, although in the hands of a careful experienced nurse One day scarlet fever was conveyed to the little one, and the poor, enfeebled body had not strength left to throw off the disease, and soon the tired hands were folded for the last time, in sleep.

There was a little fellow at the hos pital, we always called him "Tommie Tucker" although that was not his name. He was such a mite, and used to hop about just like robin. One day l said to him: "Tommie, what made you lame?" He looked steadily at me with his great, baby-blue eyes, as he replied; q was poked by nanny goat" I found it was true. A few days afterwards, when his mother came to see him, told her what Tom mic had stated, and she said; One day Tommie was playing in the yard and goat ran it's cruel horns through the fence into the baby's hip and maimed my darling, perhaps for life"
 As I went through the hospital re- gently, in search of familiar childish faces, l looked at each cot. Number one was empty. It made me sad and lonely, for I missed the little face that used to rest upon the pillow, but could not wish him back. l went from cot to cot and spoke to each little tot. Some were shy and hid their faces, stlll most of them seemed pleased to see me. All strangers except one, I unused, and she a wee bit of humanity of four years. Another tiny cripple sat in wheel chair, and they were playing house. Lizzie smiled welcome. l asked her If any of the nurses had been to see her of late?" "Es," she lisped, Miss Bown." Lizzie had spinal disease, but she is a patient sufferer, with pleas ant smile for all. Her baby hands lift the medicine glass the nurse gives her and without a frown or murmur she takes whatever the physician pre- scribes. It is needless to add she is a great favorite.
 Now, my readers, when you are blue and discouraged, just turn your thoughts for an instant to the little folks within the hospital walls. Com pare your fate with theirs, and promise you will feel you might be much worse off after all. Kismet.

A MAINE FISHERMAN.
"Payson Fuckers Time" In Local
 Politics.

AoSsoH IuckefS Time In Local
 Politics,
 Down in Maine the other day I sat on the rocks chatting with an old fisherman who was cleaning "a mess of fish" for dinner. Fish cleaning in that part of the universe is exclusive ly within the sphere of masculine activ- ity. No man ever takes fish home without cleaning them and cutting off their heads. He generally performs this duty as soon as he reaches land.
 My old friend had been answering my inquiries concerning the affairs of the neighborhood in quaint, philosophical way when summer girl, padding a birch-bark canoe, passed under our vision.
 Do you like them cockeley boats?" he asked.
 "They are very pretty and graceful" I answered.
 "Waal, I'm not church member, and I've got rheumatiz so bad l can't swim, so l jes natchelly don't like to have nuthin' but a thin piece of birch bark betwixt me and hell'
 Why don't you reform and repent and join the church?" I asked,
 He thought minute before speaking and then answered. "Waal, my wife has been a-teasin' me to for ever so 1pt0p I a1o Ia al I was attending to it.'
 My old friend had picked up good deal of wisdom in his cruises and had a quaint way of expressing it. One of his aphorisms was: When I'm in doubt allus stand well to lee'ard.'
 He told me an amusing story of the struggle that was caused in that com munity by an attempt of what he called the 'polerticians" to compel the adoption of "Payson Fuckers time" Payson Tucker is and for several years has been general manager of the Maine Central Rail- road, and when the railway companies of the country agreed upon common system of standard time he ordered it's adoption on that line. In most of the towns through which the railway ran the change was made and the reform extended throughout the country In nearly every village there is clock, either in the tower of the town hall or in the steeple of one of the churches, which is usually maintained and regu- lated by the municipal authorities. Throughout this part of Maine nearly
 |. t1 standard time, and it caused a revolu- tion among the people. It became a political issue. Many a selectman and mayor, who had the audacity to adopt "Payson Fuckers time" was defeated for reelection and his prospects of political preferment were destroyed. The trouble seemed to be that in the absence of watches the farmers and fishermen were in the habit of telling time by the sun, and naturally their arrangements were thrown out of gear.-Chicago Record.

FASHION NOTES.
Hats Placed Oddly.
Franklin

In the coming style in hats the bulk of last years great folds is hardly like ly to be revived. Still, hats are big and are calculated to emphasize delica- cy of facial outline or alas! to render heavy a face that might If more be- comingly surrounded, be merely strong. The hat must either set back of the pompadour or over it. That means that it either slides down on the nose or disports itself well on the back of the head. How far back it may
