A St. Louis man has an idea which he hopes will improve and revive steam boating on the Mississippi, For the realization he claims to have found the necessary capital among the merchants in tn river towns from St. Paul to New Orleans. The plan contemplates fast and frequent service, Instead of boats which, as now, make twelve miles an hour up stream, the new boats will travel from fifteen to eighteen miles an hour up stream, and, of course, much raster down stream. Two and half days are estimated for the trip from St. Louis to New Orleans, instead of seven days, the present time, and thirty eight hours from St. Louis to St. Paul, instead of four days The order for one of the seven boats has been placed. They are to be steel-hull- ed, with a length of three hundred feet and fifty feet beam, with water-tight compartments, and with load draught of only three feet, thus permitting them to run when the water is at it's lowest stage. The most unique feature of the plan, however, is to be the employment of forty naphtha tenders. These ten ders will patrol the river, collecting freight, express matter, and passengers and will meet the steamers in mid stream. There will be a short stoI when passengers are to be taken on Freight and express matter can be transferred while the boats are running at full speed, the result being great saving of time.

It is not to be Sons of the Reyolu- tion, Limited" At the meeting of the Sons of the Revolution at the New Ha- ven House yesterday the scheme to limit the membership to one hundred and fifty was unanimously voted down. So anybody who is a true son of the Revolution can be made a Son of the Revolution without regard to whether he is the one hundred and flftieth or the one hundred and fifty-first. This is right. and in accordance with the principles of freedom and equality for which the Fathers of the Revolution fought and bled.

RATS AND UNsEAwoRTHY SHIPS

RATS AND UNSEAWORTHY SHIPS.
 The old superstition, which has grown into an adage, that rats desert a ship which, Is no longer seaworthy, is still an article of faith with the fresh water sailors of the great lakes. Sundry well authenticated instances seem to justify this belief The Vernon was three-
 master which did a tramp business. Built in Buffalo in 1850, she was for many years regarded as one of the best craft on the lakes. Late in the fall about fifteen years ago, she unloaded a cargo of grain in Buffalo, and reloaded with package freight for Chicago. She was about to sail one rough November night. Just before the lines were let off one of the seamen saw rat run over the hawsers to the wharf. In a moment another was seen. The sea- man called others of the crew to see the
 unusual sight. Between fifty and seventy-five rats poured out of the ship and took refuge along the wharf. The crew refused to sail but the captain was obstinate, shipped a fresh crew, and sailed forthwith. The ship was lost with all hands. The Idaho a fine pdSseuSeI otedtieft LouHueIeu III lIdhe Erie in November, 1897. Out of her crew of twenty-one men nineteen were drowned. Just before the vessel left her moorings a swarm of rats crawled over the hawsers to the wharf. This was known to part of the crew, and four men deserted at the last moment. Similar stories are told of other wrecked vessels, and an old lakeman
 says: Tt has been proved a hundred times. There are a whole lot of things
 in this world that we don't know any thing about. Rats live in the very flores of ship. They see what we
 can't see. When the timbers are hollowed and the seams open, these little animals know that the ship is un-
 safe, and they desert it. .''-Household World.

FROST FRO US KANSAS,

Eastern people who have suffered over-confidence in the makers and sell CTS of Kansas farm mortgages etc, have reason to feel better unless they sold out or let go their mortgages at a low price when it looked as if Kansas had gone to the bad. Kansas now has money, and she is putting some of it to a very proper use. She is paying debts with it. The Kansas Superintendent Of Public Instruction reports that the school districts have paid over $1,OOO,- 900 of their debts. More debts of the school districts and municipalities have been paid in the past two years than in any similar period in the history of the State and it is predicted that there will be great reductions in the coming year.
 This is cheering all around. With good times in full swing and the Popu- list party knocked out Kansas will soon be all right Her prosperity is as as tonishing as her diversity. We are shown that this years net increase in agricultural products over 1897 is $15,- s7459, and of live stock $19, ,f53,04S, or total net increase for the twelve months of $34,740,507. The increase of agricultural products in 1898 over 1896 is s35, ,s32, 706, and of live stock $59,662,- 092, or total increase in two years of STE. .294. .73S. No wonder the calamity howler finds his occupation gone.

4 COMPLICATED PROBLEM.

What are we going to do with our new half civilized men and brethren? Are we going to civilize them to death? A writer in the Indian Lancet discusses the effect of Occidental habits Of life upon Oriental peoples in India and he has something to say which is worth the attention of the expanders of this country. He asserts that a distinct physical degeneration is going on among the native inhabitants, and this he explains as. in a way, the direct con- sequence of changes and reforms upon which the foreign rulers of India are accustomed to base their chief claim for credit as enlighteners and civilizers. Climate, disregard of hygiene, early

marriages and the secluded life of the women have all been exercising their influences on the Indian people from time immemorial, but the degeneration which this observer sees is something of recent date, not explained by any of the factors named, and due he thinks, to the unwise effort to train Hindu minds by methods and with objects which, however, excellent in Europe, are out of harmony with Indian con- ditions That system of education is bad he says, which results in cramp- ing of brain and body, and starts a young man on his worldly career with little energy left and that little taxed to the breaking point. "The cause of the physical degeneration is a want of har- mony between the individual and his environment, For while the new order of things-the existing struggle for ex- istence-demands from him more and more mental labor, and, for the matter or that, physical work also-the envi- ronent of climate, of home,s and of family, remains unchanged, and thus the individual is not prepared to face the new order of things safely
 Of course we can do better than any body else has done in dealing with such problems as the Indian writer suggests, but perhaps we shall not fully satisfy ourselves and our new men and breth-
 ren. Still, there is no doubt that they
 will be much better off than they are 1 now.

THE TROUBLE IN HAT4NI.

More trouble in Havana, which is not at all surprising. It is surprising that the change which is going on in Cuba is going on with so little friction. The Brooklyn, Texas. Castine and Res olute have been ordered to Havana, and it is believed that they will have a soothing effect on the excitablef people of the city. The trouble yesterday vas an accompaniment of the funeral of Jesus Sotelonge who was killed in the disturbance Sunday night.
 Of course it will take time and pa- tience and perhaps some severity to thoroughly pacify Cuba. The Spaniards there don't feel good and perhaps some of the Cubans feel too good. But they must not and will not be allowed to kill each other. There has been enough bloody work in Cuba during the last few years. It is now time for peace and a reasonable regard for human life and human rights.

A bodice belt effect in the back came from another layer of the net, thus darkening at the waist line the glint of the green beneath. The bodice belt cut away ill the front to a pair of curving pieces that mounted to the edge of the yoke Over all was a circular flounce of the net set on at the edge of the yoke. At the back the flounce was so narrow that it was mere ly a finish for the edge of the yoke; in front it was cut to a long curved point that hung to the belt, the curved fronts of the bodice belt showing at each side of it. The edge of the circular flounce was weighted with big cut jet beads. That sounds easy, but each bead was in halves and put together with the edge of the net between.

The immense force exerted by gela- tine in it's contraction is remarked upon by the British Journal of Photography, this fact being specially notable in the collotypist's art. Thus, if g collotype plate be over-dried, the power of the gelatine, in it's contraction, is so great that 1t tears away the surface of the glass itself, breaking it up in peculiar fern-like fashion or pattern--in word, the surface of the collotype plate being always ground, it is this which gives so firm hold to the gelatine that the glass is torn away. A curious fact ap- hears in this connection, namely, that different characters of gelatine produce a. different pattern fracture, a brit tie kind of the material exhibit ing different one from that yielded by the tough and horny variety. This property has been taken advantage of commercially, and m a considerable scale, in the manufac- ture of what is commonly known as "crystalline" glass.
