According to tho navy regulations
whisky is not allowed on warsli ps ex-
cept in the medical supplies, but it
gets aboard somehow, as visitors to
the hospitable officers can testify. II
is called navy sherry" on shipboard.
Sometimes, when Che fleet was on
blockade duty, newspaper dispatch
boats carried supplies TO the officers.
A man ignorant of the rule about
navy sherry hailed the flagship New
York one Sunday morning oil Santiago
and asked the officer of tho deck IL he
wonld send boat for some supplies.
"For whom are they?" the officer asked,
through q megaphone. 1.-The ward
room mess" was the reply. 1t was an
idle hour on the New York, and a
crowd Of officers and men had lined up
and were listening. What supplies
have your" the officer asked again, and
through his megaphone the CORE
spondent bawled: Onion, potatoes
and whisky" Then he wondered why
all the officers in sight fled to tho other
side Of the ship, holding their sides
with laughter. The onions and potatoes
were sent on board at least they alone
were received officially, An officer,
who asked friend to get u case Of
navy sherry" for him later on was
astounded when the man brought real
sherry. He had supposed that eyeras
one knew the difference. New York

A letter Just received by ono of the
girls from Paris tells of the most mar
vellous nouveautes'' in the way OF
stockings Not stockings TO be worn
in the street, or in the daytime ut al,
in fact, but stockings to be worn with
slippers in the evening only. They ara
of silk or lislethread, and very much
open worked over the ankle and instep.
Sewed on, running lengthwise, nre
spanglcs and beads, which graduate in
size from the slipper-top to the end OF
the opeu-work, the largest at the hot
tom, the smallest at the top. Thief
are very expensive, costing. oven ID
spangles and beads are generally. ii
silver or gilt, but can be in colors as
we'll, to correspond with the color o.
the gown they are, worn with. Blaci
stockings look the best when spangled,
but they come also in all paia shades,
and even in bright red. "One OF the
bost things about these beautiful stock
ings isl this girl writes from Paris,
that for just about half what they are
selling them NJ the modistes and in the
shops you can make them YOURSELF"
1t cannot be difficult to sew tho span
giles on, and certainly the effect must
be lovely. Girls who want to look chic
this winter would better take the hint
and get 10 work spangling. What with
painting their gowns, sewing spangles
on their stockings and decorating their
el-pieces, the girls will have, q
busy time this winter II they. want to
be ornamental by learning to be useful,

Now York q loss of per cent. Albany's
increase was 3 per cent The diocese
of Newark, which includes tho Northern
part OF New Jersey, shows an increase
Of 5 per cent. 1t is said that d part of
this represents removals from New

New York, Pennsylvania and Mas

Tennyson exercised no direct guild
ance over his illustrators, and heihust
frequently have beon astonishcd Mt
their Interpretation of his IDEAS. In
the poem of 1.-The Lady Of Shalott,"
for example, the lady's hair is neScr
mentioned. Holman Hunt, however,
represents her with flying massesi'of
crimped hair spreading over hef like o
veil.
"My dear Hunt" said Tcnnyson,
when he first saw this illustration, II
never said that the young woman IS
hair was flying all over the shop. .
mo" said Hunt, ''but you never
said it wasn't"; and after time tho
poet came to be wholly reconciled 10
tho design. He never quite forgave the
same artist, however, for giving King
Cophetua long flight of steps to do
scend to meet the Bcggar Maid.
~ never said" he complained,
"that there were 4 lot of steps; meant
only one or two ..5
"Well,:" rotorted Hunt, "the fiight
of steps doesn't contradict your nc.
count; you merely said: In robe and
crown, the king slept down. :"
But Tennyson was not to be appeased,
and kept on declaring that he meant
only two steps at the outside. Detroit

The action Of high-angle fire brings
up the consideration OF mortar fire to
which we were subjected off Santiago.
But one ship, the Indiana was struck
by such fire, and she by an eight Inch
shell which went Through one deck be-
fore exploding andthe perforated an
other deck. The destruction was great,
but not greater than that produced by
q shell fired in the ordinary manner,
and the experience goes far TO do away
with the preconceived ideas of the
effect of mortar fire. 1t can only have
the effect of great destruction assigned
it (and upon which superstition we
have extensively designed q good deal
Of our coast defence) by the use of a
very much delayed action fuse, en-
abling the shell to igo very deeply into
the ship before explosion. 1niany case
the shell must bea large one to be
effective in this way. Scribner's.

Ball Gowns.

Ball gowns this season are much
more graceful in consequence Of the
long skirts that arc so fashionable.
For while in the street trained skirt
is most Objectionable, in the house u
gown looks far better with a train. 1t
seennssto be one of the fads of the sea-
son to combine two or three materials
in one gown, and also to have two or
three different kinds of trimming.
There is really very little that is simple
about any of the costumes, still the
entire effect is so satisfactory that
criticism is disarmed. A very smart
ball gown from la maison Raudnitz is
made OF pink satin over mousseline de
sole of the same color, and embroidered
in white applique of fine lace, and the
applique itself embroidered with black
chenille. The skirt is cut SO that at
the sides it opens and shows the under
skirt Of mousseline do sole trimmed
with rows and rows of ruffles of the
same material. The skirt itself is of
the satin covered with the embroidery.
In front it hangs quite plain, and the
embroidery shows to greatest advan-
'tage. The waist is cut in a very odd
/ fashion, made of the mousseline dc
| sole, covered over half way with the
embroidered satin so that the whole
| gown gives the effect of a princesst
over dress. Around the shoulders o.
| the waist is ruffie of the pink mousse
line dc sole tied with knots of satir
ribbon Of two or three shades Of pink
| The front OF the waist is like the bacl
1 excepting that ruffle around tn,
| shoulders is fuller and much longc
| and reaches to the belt, and the belt il

huge mon. I'm u pretty big. man my
self. | fpve therefore evolved the idea,
based upon great deal of experience,
that big men are u good deal more
liable to seasiclknoss than small men.
I've seen small shipmates get seasiclS
MT the outset of their cruises, but once

their cruises. / don't just know how
TO account for this, but simply state it
as one Of the results of my observations
of seasickness. I've also observed that
mon with comparatively hoilow1or moi
well-deyeloped chests are practically
immune from seasiclSness. / mentioned
this to the surgeon of the last ship te
which / was attached, and he told me
that people who are consumptive, Oh
who have anything whatever the matter
with their lungs, very rarely suffer
from seasickness. He told me the
physiological reason for this, but I've
forgotten it. Va,
