Sailors who Cannot Swim.

It is n of the singular things in life
that many a sailor who sails the sea
cannot swim. But most navies have
a thought for such men, and many
men-of-war are fitted with two life
buoys on the starboard and port rails
aft. These are constructed Of a frame

sells. The apparatus floats upright, and
there is a place on which the man
overheard may find a footing. The buoy
readily sustains a mans weight, and
holds him comparatively high out Of
the water. When a man has tumbled
overheard at night and one or both of
the life buoys have been ordered over,
the sailor at the rails pulls one of two
knobs by the buoy. This fires a cap,
which ignites a long tube Of red fire In
serted In the top Of the buoy. The other
knob when pulled releases the buoy,
and 1t drops into the water. The red
fire burns a long time and guides the
luckless bluejacket. To the CELEBRITY
with which the life buoys have beer
dropped IL due the saving of many Z

Anxious for Enlightenment.


Some odd questions are asked of the
editors Of the great daily papers. A
seeker after light wrote to a metropolis.
tan paper inquiring If a mar must put
on a clean shirt every day in order to
retain the right to be called a gentle
man The editor of tho paper is said
to have been silent in despair. The
Tribune, in commenting on the matter,
ventures the opinion that the answer
to the unanswered-though not unaM-
swerable-qucstion depends upon the
definition of what constitutes a clean
shirt. .'This, however," continues the
Tribune, 'is a definition that every
man will insist upon manufacturing for
himself. No gentleman, 1t is safe to
say, would admit that he was wearing
an unclean shirt" Another worried
questioner writes to the Tribune in
Quiring whether a gentleman may wear
detachable cuffs without thereby de-
serving and mourning social ostracism.
The comment on this is interesting: "If
a man e detachable cuffs, he does
80, manifestly, that he may replace
them with fresh one without at the
same time retiring the shirt from the
active list to the wash-tub. The wearer
Of detachable cuffs defends himself, Of
course, by saying that cuffs are soiled

Purpose.
1t Is a common mistake to Judge OF
character wholly by the emotions, de-
sires and affections. They form a large
part of 1t, certainly. He who loves good
and hates evil, who wishes to do right,
whose intentions are pure, and whose
impulses are excellent, is Of course q
very different kind of person from one
whose inclinations lead him in an oppo-
site direction, and is far more estim-
able. .s
Yet we cannot afford to omit in our
estimate that strength of purpose
which carries out the desires and con.
verts uniformed hopes into actions and
realities. Some persons are so consti.
>tuted that this process follows on in.
;. So soan.r. is a. purpose formed than
the means:to fulfill it are chosen, adopt.

If they espouse a principle, they live UP

NicaraEua Canal as Il Is.

81 The Nicaragua ship canal Is In the
condition of more than one great en-
terprfse of similar character; the route
has been surveyed and pronounced per-
fectly feasible, and. a considerable
amount of work has been done Mt vari-
u points along the. course Of the pro-
posed waterway. So-vast, however, is
the outlay necessary. that a single COM
pany, no matter how wealthy, is not
able to handle the enterprise, for years
must elapse ere the completion Of the
work, and probably years more before
an income can be derived from 1t which
will pay its running expenses and the
interest on its bonds. The Nicaragua
Canal Commission estimates the cost Of
the canal at $133, 4O7, 200, and the only
possible way of raising this immense
sum is. for some government to guar
antea that the, interest on the bonds.
will be. paid. until such time Is. the

peatedly .beei:asked to take action Id
this dtfrttion;:t,ft has not. done so, its
experience with the Union Pacific roads
not having been so favorable as to JUS

prises so great; an additional objection
being found in the fact that the pro-
posed canal lies beyond the territorial
Jurisdiction of the United States. II
1t is ever finished, however, the canal
will prove of almost ~incalculable value
to the commerce of the world. The
total length Of the canal, along the pro-
posed route from ocean to ocean, will
be 1904 miles, including Lake Mica
ragua in this estimate. A steamer
starting from New York to San Fran
cisco is now compelled to pass around
the Horn and traverse a distance of
1860 miles; by the Nicaragua Canal
the distance would be 4,9O7 miles, and
the saving to government in the
shifting of vessels from the Atlantic
to Pacific stations would in fuel alone
be enormous, to say nothing Of the
