The Fighting Machinist.

One lesson which the Spanish-Amer-
ican war has thoroughly taught is the
vital importance to a nation which
would have an efficient navy, of the fos-
tering of the mechanical instinct.
Americans may be proud of being a ma
ton of mechanics, and l attribute the
overwhelming victories over the Span
iards largely to this fact and the abso-
lutte lack of any mechanical aptitude
on the part of the opponents. The ut
ter failure of Cervera's fast armored
cruisers, which had trial speeds of 20
knots, to escape from the United States
vessels at Santiago, none of which were
making II, shows the disastrous results
of encouragement of the mechanic. As
we now know, the condition of the two
fastest ships at Santiago, the New York
and Brooklyn, was such that only half
power could be used Immediately, and
it seems almost certain that, had Ger
vera's ships been able to make their
maximum speeds, they would have
caped.-Engineer in Chief G. W. Mel
vile, U. S. N, in Engineering Magazine.

The Eject of ROYALTY.

Let us see some of the effects of
caste-some of the curious effects that
have noted. On Jubilee day l stood
so near the procession that l could
have touched the door of her majesty's
carriage with my walking stick.
When she had ridden by the lady
next to me said:
"Oh, dear, now she's gone, and L
didn't see her!"
Didn't see her?" 1 repeated, in as
tonishment.
81 couldn't" she replied. 81 was so
excited | could not look at her. This
is the third time I've tried. but some
thing always comes up and blinds me-"
Once l was walking in Hyde Park
with little English lady, who sudden
ly called out:
"Oh, there's the princess" (meaning
the princess of Wales) land Princess
Victoria! Do hurry and let us get near
the road to see them!"
"Well, there, they have gone," said
she, after the royal carriage had
passed, "and l shall be in futter for
half an hour, l suppose you'll never
understand it, but I go perfectly silly
whenever l see royalty" - Harper's
Magazine.

SPINACH FOR SPRING.
An Excellent Substitute for Med
icine When One Is Not
Quite Well.

We are all familiar with the patent
medicine sign which cOmmends itself
to us by these cabalistic words: For
that tired feeling!" Now, those who
may object to buying bottles and bot
ties of this cure for weariness may OBJ
tain the same results by liberal use
of common, everyday spinach. The
French call this homely vegetable the
scavenger of the stomach and now our
own medical men are awakening to the
wonderful medicinal properties of spin
ach. 1t contains salts of potassium,
iron and other things which conduce to
a good complexion, long life and a
cheerful disposition.
The man with a disordered liver and
the woman with bad complexion
should contract the spinach habit and
these things will berectified. The chem
ist Bingo says that this article of food
contains more iron to the square inch
than ''the most renowned ferruginous
remedies"
So convinced has the medical profess
sion become of the value of the once
despised spinach that, according to the
Sanitary Record, sit is already an ac-
tive ingredient in several new and sala-
BILE tonics."
The iron in spinach is easily assim-
Hated and the vegetable is easily di-
gested. The fact that spinach has
such a remarkable effect upon the
complexion will recommend it to the
girls, and it's beneficial effects upon the
liver will recommend it to the men.
For next morning" nothing is so
good as hearty breakfast of spinach
In short, the virtues of the vegetable
are so numerous that it would take a
long time to tell them, but if the spin
ach habit grows to anything like the
proportion. reached by the oatmeal
habit we shall shortly turn into
strong, iron built, fresh compleXioned,
anti-bilious nation. - N. Y. Herald.

About the House.

A measure of order, simplicity and
fitness must be obtained in the ar
rangement of furnishings, or they will
lose their original beauty and give the
effect of medley of furniture, draper
les and pictures.
A room that lacks the element of
comfort is never inviting, however ex-
pensive its appointments may be.
In furnishing bedroom we are
dealing with the lungs of the house, and
whatever else we do we must not OBJ
struct the free entrance of fresh air.

AN INTRODUCTION.
As 1t Was Ratified on by One of
Those IrrepressibIe Entertain
ment RecOmmenders.

Two who were on the lecture bu-
reau's circulars as novelist and
poet" were to give literary enter
tainment in a southern Kntucky town.
The distinguished citizen of the place
had been selected, by some authority
or other, to introduce the entertainers
to the audience.
Why that thing should be done is yet
to be accounted for, as it is nearly al
knows as little, or as much. of the in
troductee as the audience does In
this instance, it is to be hoped, he knew
less.
The distinguished citizen having in
quired what he should say, and baving,
been commended to his own good judg-
ment, buttoned his ample coat across
his spacious abdomen and proceeded,
after all three of us had stepped upon
the stage. He said:
Ladies and gentlemen-fellow-ci
zens: 1t is my pleasure to introduce
to you two gentlemen whose names are

And mumbling some unintelligible
names he bowed himself from the stage
in the courtliest manner.

The Antarctic Expedition.

Although the response to the appeal
of the council of the Royal Geograph-
ical society for funds to send out an
antarctic expedition has not up to the
present been so liberal as had been de-
sired, the amount already received or
promised is sufficient, l am informed,
to encourage the promoters of the en-
terprise in the belief that it will be pos
sible to equip and dispatch an expedi-
ton To the south polar area in the
course OF next year. The undertaking
will probably be on a more modest
scale than was planned when the gov
ernment was urged to do the work as
one of national Importance, but it is
satisfactory to know that sufficient
funds are likely to be Forthcoming
from private sources to enable this
country to cooperate in the work of
antarctic exploration, even though it
be to limited extent,-Birmingham

A BIT OF LACE.
Often Serves to Tighten Up a
Plain GOwn-It Has other Uses
Well.

The possessor of even the smallest
bit of choice lace should regard it as a
treasure and keep it among her pre-
cious things. Lace, though so fragile,
is nevertheless among those imperish-
able articles which, handed down in
families, go from mother to daughter,
and are as useful to the third genera
ton as they were to the first. A certain
fine sentiment clings to the lace which
has been used at weddings and chris
Jennings, which has formed part of the
grandmother's trousseau. and long
after she has done with it adorns the
wardrobe of some youthful bride, who
repeats in her features the charms of
her ancestress.
There are limitations of lace made to-
day which almost counterfeit the real in
the fineness of their threads, the beauty
of their designs, and the intricacy of
their meshes; nevertheless. no ma
chine-made imitation ever competes in
true value with a bit of lace patiently
wrought by hand, perhaps in some quiet
convent, where the nuns work hour by
hour, stopping only to count the
beads on their rosaries or chant
their songs of praise; or made by a
peasant woman in the intervals of her
busy day, that she may thus earn her
children's bread. Poverty and pathos
are interviewer in the filmy cloud of
lace which completes the toilet of the
bride, and in the delicate edge of the
same on the cap of the aged matron, or
the gossamer handkerchief which fin
ishes the costume of the great lady.
The plain gown fashioned without re-
gard to reigning styles takes on an
air of its own if bit of beautiful lace
be worn at the neck and sleeves. Lace
is seldom out of vogue, though there
are seasons like the present when its
use is more general than at Others,
when the lace shawls, long laid away
in lavender, emerge from their seclu
sion and are fashioned into capes, over
dresses and drapery to heighten the
lavish finery of modern belle.
Regarded as gift, nothing is more
suitable as an Offering from friend to
friend at birthday, wedding or ho.
iday occasion than a bit of fine lace.
The woman is far to seek who is in
different to its spell, and who does not
love to look over her laces as she looks
at her jewels, finding both among the
delights of her life.
Not only has lace its use in the toilet;
it finds an appropriate place in bed
spreads, doilies and scarfs for bureau
and table ornamentation. For these
homelier uses a heavier and more elab-
crate style of lace is chosen than for
the daintier needs of the toilet.-Har
per's Bazaar.

1t was in one of the large downtown res
taurants that the short little woman and
her tall husband went to dinner one night.
"Will you have oysters?" asked the man,
glancing over the bill of fare.
yes" said the short little woman, as she
tried in vain to touch her toes to the floor.
"And, John, l want a hassock."
John nodded and, as he handed his order
to the waiter he said: eyes, and bring a
hassock for the lady"
Zone hassock?" asked the waiter, with
what John thought more than ordinary in,
terest, as he nodded in the affirmative. Still
the waiter did not go, but brushed the table
cloth with towel and rearranged the ar
ticles on it several times, while his face got
very red. Then he came around to Johns
side and, speaking sotto voce, said: Say,
mister, | haven't been here long, and I'm
