however, for this to be the case II they

they should be gathered with discretion,
only flowers just out or still in bud being
chosen, and they should on no account

even worse for them than moisture. All
superfluous green, too, should be removed
from their stalks, as it only crowds up
precious space, and will not be needed at
the other end, the foliage only discolors
the water in the vases and causes the
flowers to decay quicker than anything
else The stem of each flower should be
enveloped in a little cotton wool that mas

New York, Dec. Silt is not improbable
that in the near future we may see the
present ocean lines crossing the Atlantic
ocean within three days The present
form of steamship and motive power has
arrived at a stage of perfection that can
hardly be excelled, unless there is some
radical change made, both in the form of
steamship and the type Of motive power.
As the matter now stands, vessel MAX
ing twenty knots to twenty-one knots per
hour can only accomplish an extra knot
by almost doubling the power of boilers
and engines.
In order to cut the present time of lit
tie less than six days from Queenstown to
New York down TO three days, marine
architects must abandon the present style
of engines and radically change the form
of the vessels hulls.

vested in the North Atlantic freight and
passenger steamers it is hard to See how

rem door, and over them no Turk will ever
step. This is a universal custom, which
every man respects, as he desires his
neighbor to respect it in his turn
The harem OF Turkish house must al
ways be to the male sex more or less Of a
mystery; but if the ladies who do me the
honor to read these pages could enter one
they might perhaps be surprised to find
there only one wife. For, allowed by law
to have four wives, the Turk of the pres
ent day rarely has more than one. This
fact is no doubt due in part to motives
of economy, for every wife is legally en-
titled to her separate apartment and her
private servants, and this, in these days,
even in the orient, involves a large ex-
penditure of money.
Moreover since a Mohammedan's wives
must all be treated on a basis of perfect
equality, any expense which the husband
incurs for one must be exactly multiplied
by the number of his other consorts.
Hence, we can understand the Turkish
proverb which declares that a household
with four wives is like a vessel in a
storm.
In the complicated phases of modern So
ciety polygamy in large oriental cities, at
least, is practically curing itself, save in
the case of the sultan or of wealthy Off
Gals. My friend declared that in all his
acquaintance at Constantinope he knew
only one man who had two wives, and he
was Frenchman who had become a Mos
lem. 1t is well to remember also, in JUS
tice to Mohammed. that the law permit
ting each of his followers to have four
wives was really a limitation of the polyg-
amy existing before his time. Polyamy
had fiourished In the orient for ages. The
patriachs had several wives. King Solo
mon (who nevertheless enjoyed a reputa-
ton for wisdomD Is said to have had 700.

the companies can do this. The latest ad-
vice from the continent, however, gives
some hope that this may be accomplished
without change of the present type of YES
sells or motive power.
The French and German army officers
and engineering corps have for a number
of years been experimenting with different
types of airships and balloons, their object
being to get balloon or airShip that
would sustain double weight and be per-
1ectly manageable in any kind of wealth.
er. They have been more or less success
1ul, but recent German invention-the
details Of which have been kept secret-has
more nearly succeeded than any of the
others.
This airship consists of an illuminated
balloon, filed with a very light gas and
carrying car containing gas engines and
motors, and has succeeded in going against
the wind at a remarkable swift pace. II
has been found perfectly manageable and
apparently there is nothing to be desired.
1t is understood that negotiations for the
manufacture of a series of large machines
OF this type have been opened with prom
lnent transatlantic line of passenger and
freight steamers, the idea being that by
using one or more of these airships and
having them connected with a passenger
steamer by set tow-lines, they can SO as
sist in speed as to render the passage
across the Atlantic in three days extreme
ly probable.
BY a proper system of fastening the
tow-Enes, the balloon or airshp will exert
lifting power as well as a forward mo-
ton on the ships, and practically give
mem less displacement or cause them to
force aside less water in their movement
through 1t, and will not decrease the pow
er of the propelers.
OF. course, there is a great deal of Gu
rlosity about the nature of this airship. 1t
IS believed by scientists who are interested
IN airships that the apparatus is very sim
llar to the one tried by Prof. Langley on
the recent occasion when he moved a hand
car up grade against the wind.
Behind the fans of the windmill was
q small gasoline engine on a rough timber
frame. A long iron shaft connected the
frame with the curved blades. These blades
were made Of steel, with covering of can
vas. The propellers or fans were connect
ca with the engine. They revolved slowly
at first, then faster and faster they went,

New York, Dec. 27.-James Jocco died

won his freedom by heroic conduct in Gu
