all hands were called and coaling was
resumed before it was fairly daylight.
The men had been working about an hour
when the executive officer, Lieutenant
Gearing, came to the rail and notified the
men that if they had any mail to send it
ashore with the o'c'ock boat, and that
the next mailing address for the ship
would be Key West. Fla. A cheer went
up from the coal barge. and the way those
coal baskets and bags followed one anoth-
err into the Badger was surprising. About
10 O'Clock anchor was weighed and the
Badger steamed down the harbor, being
cheered by rhe artillerymen stationed at
the forts. Early Monday morning u
steamer was sighted keeping well to star
board. She was made out to be the San
Francisco and along in the afternoon
came up within signaling distance. Just
what she had to say in flag language was
not made known to the crew, but upon
finishing she headed about in north
westerly direction, leaving the Badger to
continue her trip South.
At 10 O'Clock the temperature of the
water was taken and found to be that of
the Gulf Stream. The night was beauti-
ful, although quite warm, and the boys
in tho fire room were beginning to feel
the first effects of warm weather."

NON-INFLAMMABL WOOD FOR
WARSHIPS.
(From Casters Magazine. }


While the theoretical need of a non.in-
flammable flooring for warships has long
been felt, the matter did not become a
sternly practical one. until one of the
G hinese battleships was set on fire by a
shell from Japanese cruiser in the bat
tie of Yalu. This lesson has recently
been further emphasized by the burning
of the Reina Cristina from shells dis
charged by Admiral Dewey's feet at the
battle of Manila. 1t seems quite settled,
therefore, that ordinary wood in war
ship is source of danger in time of
battle.
1t was.at one time thought that wood
might be largely dispensed with in the
construction of warships, and this theory
was practically carried out in the build
ing of her Majesty's ship Devastation, as
it is today as far as practicable in the va
rious kinds of torpedo vessels. But the
verdict of sailors has been unanimous
that war vessels without considerable
quantity of interior sheathing of wood or
some similar non-conducting substance
are always freezing cold in winter and
unbearably hot in summer. Besides, as
in the case of the Devastation, the un-
sheathed gratings and other metal sur
faces under foot soon wore SO smooth as
to become slippery-a contingency not
likely to be contemplated in the hurly-
Eurly of a naval battle. Wood was,
therefore, retained as the least evil open
to choice.
There is some reason to believe that in

f1ammable-an insuperable obstacle in

make it SO friable that it offers too little

The attention of some inventors has there

WITH CASTELAR,.

(Poultney Bigelow in Harper's Weekly }
Mr.. CASTELAR, is bachelor. He does
not smoke or gamble, or indulge in those
many so-called recreations which ulti-
mately disturb the balance between our
phi ysical and Intellectual forces-a bal
ance necessary to the exercise of sound
Judgment. He has. therefore, beautiful
harmony of faculties, which manifests
itself in his oratory, his splendid mastery
and, most strikingly of all. in his prepar-
alton of dinner.
When he asked me to dine with him he
most kindly asked after my tastes in mat
ters culinary, to which answered that
as stranger in Spain, the most interest
ing food to me would naturally be that
which had peculiarly national charac-
ter. And what a dinner that was to be
sure! There were two Cabinet Ministers
present. and half a dozen other friends
connected with public life. My host no
doubt wished me to see that people of all
parties could unite at his board, and that
an American, even then, was we'll re-.
ceived if he came on an errand of peace.

torical and botanical footnotes to every
dish. have known but one such master
full epicure in my xlife-the late Charles
A. Dana, who was at the same time, like
Mr.. CASTELAR,, an artist in large variety
of directions.
When again saw Mr. Casfe1ar after
an interval of twelve months, the political
horizon had .blackened considerably. The
kindly statesman welcomed me as cordial
ly as ever, and reasserted his horror of
war, and belief in a more Christian solu-
tion of the difficulties. At the same time
he was less of an optimist than when l
hao seen him last. and was particularly
bitter at the unscrupulous correspondents
OF American papers who had pretended
to interview him and had put words into
his mouth which were fabrioations and
wholly at variance with his views.

THE FEAST OF DOLLS.
One of the Many Odd Customs of Odd
~ Little japan.


In that land of feasts and festivals
children is the feast of dolls, which takes
place in the month of February. 1t per-
haps answers to our ST. Valentine festivals.
The fun lasts for three days. and, if lit
tie Miss Japan's father and mother and
grandfather and grandmother have laid
up in store for this occasion, dolls by the
hundreds are brought forth to celebrate
the feast, and many of the dolls are years
and years old, hundreds Of years even, for
every old doll that enters Japanese home
is treasured and kept for this great day.
The best room in the house is chosen.
Here shelves covered with rich silken
hangings, gay in color, are arranged, per-
haps five or six shelves, extending the
length Of one side of the room.
The principal dolls are the emperor and
empress of Japan, or two dolls dressed to
represent these august personages in their
court attire Everything centers about
them. Dolls to represent maids of honor,
courtiers and statesmen, each in appropri-
ate dress, are ranged next in order.
Everything which their imperial maj
esties can possibly need in the way of
household furniture is represented in min
iature. Silver cups, bowls and rice buck
cts on lacquered trays are placed before
the emperor and empress, and each day
the little ck;ld for whom this festival is
prepared fills the dishes with the different
kinds Of food used in a Japanese household
rice, fruits, nuts and cake or sweet
wine
Besides the table service, everything
which an imperial doll can be expected to
need is sseen-lacquered palanquins, funny,
hood shaped bullock carts, fire boxes, char
coal baskets and tongs. Nor Is the toilet
table and its accessories forgotten. There
are combs, brushes, mirrors, utensils for
blackening the teeth, for reddening the
lips and whitening the face
At the end of the feast the dolls are
packed away for another year, except two
or three, which are left out for daily use.-
