Finland Knows a Good Thing.

The Firms possess a tishy name and
attributes more or less obscure, but the
fact that they are importing twenty
two American locomotives as part of
the equipment of the Finland railway
system shows that they are waking up
and practicing the goose step, prepara-
tory to falling into line In the march OF
the worlds advancement 1t is credit
able to the waxing enterprise Of that
remote. unfriended. solitary, but not
entirely slow region thatit knows where
to find the best railway material and is
not willing to lag behind still more dis
tant countries like Korea and Man
churla, where In no long time the whis-
tie of the American locomotive will be
louder In the land than its many gongs
and trumpet forth much higher note
of progress.-New York Tribune.

NUNS. nIMeLE FINGERS.
Bridal Clothing and Baby Linen Are
Fashioned by These Reciuses.

Women who calculate and economic
and who know well sewed garment
when they see IL are I'm the habit of
hunting out the nuns of large cities and
getting their undertaking made. The
odd hours Mt the cloister are fittingly
and well filled turning out the fine and
dainty lingerie that nuns alone seem to
know how to produce.
The long hours, the quiet life there
and the pains required all help to bring
about the class of work that Is of so
much better grade than can be found
In stores, even In New York, that 1t has
become quite an industry for the low
voiced, sweet faced Sisters TO be the
manufacturers of vast quantities of
bridal clothing and baby linen. TO say
nothing of handkerchiefs and much
close and wonderful embroidery on
white goods.
Table linen, sheets and pillowcases,
with the monographs of the owners, are
a specially of the sisterhood, and they
make up their own designs as well as
their own system of application. That
is one reason they have been growing IN
favor among good housewives who ap-
preciate the necessity for fine linen and
difficulty of getting a person to make 1t
TO suit them.
The ready-made stuff that Is turned
out by large houses is not to be men
toned in the same breath with the nun,
merry underclothing, for there you are
fitted II you care TO be, the sewing Is
irreproachable and the finish all that
the most critical could require. The cut
is also something that makes the Sis
ters' work desirable.
1t is not generally known outside OF
swelldom that the nuns make these
things, for II 1t were they would be too
crowded with orders maybe to keep up
to the demand made by the fashionable
and wealthy connoisseur. Nightgowns,
petticoats and skirts are to be found in

THE SHIPS RuoDER.
Its Two Parts and the Difference In the
Strain That Comes Upon Them.

Its Two Parts and the Difference In the
Strain That Comes Upon Them.
The ruddeF of wooden ship is com
posed of the stalk and the backing,
which are SO joined together as to form
In effect a single piece. The complete
rudder is eoppered, to protect it from
worms, and then. besides being practi-
oally all in one piece, ii has that APP
pearanoe also.
The stalk Is the part to which are at
cached the pintles, or pivots, by which
the rudder is suspended and held in
place, these going through eyes set in
the ships sternpost. The stalk runs up
through the stern of the ship, and to
its head is bolted cap to which are at.
tached the ropes by means of which the
rudder is controlled. The backing is the
blade part of the rudder.
BY far the greater strain comes on
the stalk. and the greatest strain of all
comes on the head Of the stalk, the
rudder head. where it is held. The
stalk is made of the wood most likely
to stand the strain, carefully selected,
sound, well seasoned oak, while the
backing is made of spruce or hard pine.
The stalk is of a single, solid, massive
piece, stout as an oak tree and indeed
of the dimensions of small oak,
something that a man can pin his faith
to, if he can have faith in any wood,
while the backing or blade is, like
many modern wooden masts, built up.
It would be difficult if not impossible
! to find trees that would yield planks
big enough for the purpose in single
piece, and the built up backing, made
of pieces of selected wood, can easily be
made Of ample strength to Withstand
any strain that will be brought upon it.
AS to the stalk, stout and solid as the
oak may be, the head may be twisted
by the force of tremendous blow from
wave upon the rudder or, under the
repeated strains of long use, the head
may split, aud so make the stalk use
less. Then the rudder is taken out and
fitted with new stalk. A suitable stick
is selected and worked down to the
proper size and form, and very probably
the old backing is attached to it. The
life of rudder stalk would probably
be l2 to IA years. The backing might
last as long AS the ship.-New York

Afraid but Courageous.

Emerson, In his essay upon Hero
lsm," says that the characteristic of
genuine heroism Is Its persistence; and
very good illustration Of this truth
was given by the philosophers son,
Waldo, when he was small boy.
on his way to the village school
Waldo had TO pass a house where
French family lived. The boy had
never heard any language but his own,
and the strange talk frightened him;
he could not understand 1t, and there
fore felt that the people must be dan
gerous.
Mr.. Emerson decided that Waldo was
old enough to go and come from school
without attendance, and after talking
the matter over with the boy, he said,
Now, Waldo, some one will go to
school with you this morning, but you
must come home alone"
When the school was dismissed the
boy thought of the house full of strange
people that he must pass on his way
home, and leaning up against the fence
he began to cry Miss Elizabeth Hoar,
a neighbor, seeing him, put on her bon
net and went to his rescue.
Come, Waldo" she said. I'm going
down your way; you can walk along
with me-"
The boy looked at her a moment, and
then said sorrowfully, Il don't think
that was what my father meant me to
do" and refusing her comforting COM
partnership. he trudged sturdily home
by himself.
1t is pleasant to know that he was
never afterward afraid TO go and come
alone. His persistence In doing what
he felt was right was surely heroism
for frightened child.

MORGAN'S CANAL BILL.

N o little qualification is felt at the announce M ment from Washington that Senator Morgan has reintroduced his Nicaragua canal bill slightly amended and will at the earliest opportunity urge action upon it. The importance of the project apparent than now, and Congress we'll afford to give it consideration before ad- journment
 According to reports from Washington the new is framed upon the same principles as tor mer bills but there are several new provisions, the most notable of which is authorizing the Presi- dent 10 invest in the canal bonds the realized by the Government from the sales of the Central and Union Pacific railroads.
 Past discussions of the subject have shown that among supporters of the project wide differences ot opinion exist on minor matters of detail in the various plans proposed for accomplishing the work. These differences should now be harmonized some plan which will provide for the construction of the canal under Government supervision and terms that will give the Government control over 1t when com pleted The very suggestion that the nation invest in the bonds of the canal the money derived from the sales of the subsidized Pacific roads IS itself warning to the Government not to repeat the blunder made in the grants for the construction of those roads One experiment of that kind is enough.
 The fact that the nation has now to make heavy ex penditures for IS reason why 1t should not undertake the cost of this great work. It is n the truest sense of the word measure as well as commercial enterprise. The canal would immensely strengthen the effective force of naves by enabling the Pacific and Atlantic fleets to cooperate with one another in case of need At present they separated by such long distance of sea voyaglng that they are powerless to combine, and thus tor naval warfare our compact republic is almost as badly of as if half of it one side of the globe and half on the other.
 Senator Morgan has long been an earnest and vigorous supporter of the construction of the canal and while he is now old and with i'll health, he still leader Of power and influence in the Senate There is reason to believe, therefore, that if properly supported by the country at large he will be able to have his bill taken up for consideration without long delay Boards of trade chambers of commerce and other bodies representing the commercial and in dustria interests of the people should unite in urging action upon it. As measure the Nicaragua canal is of the highest importance and now that war IS upon us is the time to close up the debate the issue and begin the work.

TN 1884 the Spanish Government con-
 ' ceived a very elaborate naval scheme
 ! and the Cortes was asked in all ser l iousness to sanction it and vote s4S
 900 900 to cover period of ten years. The plan provided for twelve armorclads, two armored cruisers, seven cruisers of the first class. nine second class, eleven third class, thirty-two torpedo-boats and six transports. The money vas not voted and the programme has been greatly modified, with the result that Spain Las only one armorclad built md one under construction; the armored cruiser cla ss has been materially increased and only three out of sixteen of the larger crujs- CTS have been built. Fully $46, ,000 has been spent, however, upon new conStruc
 tion and the four dockyards have been kept busy. The naval arsenals oe Spain are at Cartagena, Ferrol, Carraca and Cadiz, and there are also two private establishments for ships and engine con- struction, one at Cadiz, the other at bll- bao The latter yard Is conducted by the Palmer firm of Yarrow-on-Tyne, and tain concessions and given guarantees the latter fortified by hypothecating part of the profits from the Almaden mines to keep the establishment going. As all the material used for ship and ensIne building has to be imported the dock yards and private yards labor under great disadvantages, and it has become neces- sary to go to foreign countries for ships. While the Spanish mechanics are fairly good. the management of the yards Is like the naval establishment in its en- tirety utterly inefficient, the progress of
