Der, although in the case of the Column
bia an immensely strong steel tube has
been used At the top of the main
mast, the topmast 90 is attached. IN
the case of the new cup defender this
topmast is so made that it will slide
down into the hollow portion of the
mainmast, but in ordinary yacht con-
struction lit is firmly attached to the
outside of the mainmast.- as shown III
the diagram. These masts are held in
place by what are known as shrouds,
long, heavy wire ropes 90 and ID,
which run from the hounds" at the top
of the mainmast and from the top of
the topmast TO each side of the hull,
where they are firmly attached. In
order to further strengthen the top
mast a crosstree 80 is placed at the
head of the topmast for spreading the
topmast shrouds. 1t was the breaking
of this spreader which caused the re-
cent accident to the Columbia. When
the crOsStree snapped the topmaSt was
loosened and fell before the wind with
such force that the steel mainmast
broke short off about half way of its
length. Next to the mast in impor-
lance is the bowsprit go, which is held
down by the bobstay and the bobstay
fall DC and 10. The main boom a.
spreads and holds fast the lower por-
ton of the mainsail CAD. At the top
above that is the club topsail CD
reaching higher even than the top of
the topmast. These are the principal
sticks in sloop yacht. The racers are
also provided with a very important
boom called the spinnaker boom %.
This boom is removable. and is only
used when the yacht is running full
before the wind. 1t is always conven-
lently placed on the deck, so that when
the wind is right it can be instantly
placed in pos ton. 1t is let down by
the topping lift GS) and held in place
by the spinnaker boom brace Q9) and
the spinnaker boom guy (26) 1t is
usually spread almost opposite the
mainsail, so that it gives to the yacht
practically two broad wings, by means
OF which she can take full advantage
OF following wind, in this way i'm
mensely increasing her speed A yacht
with spinnaker set and bellying full of
WIND is 4 most beautiful sight, resem-
ping some huge seagull skimming
over the surface of the water. Indeed
the sails are so big and reach so far
ON each side of the yacht that the body
OF the boat itself is hardly visible. No
doubt much viii be said in the reports
OF the coming races about the spinna-
ker, and how it is set, for it is an ex-
ceedingly important feature in yacht
racing.

Lonely Hubby.
lChicago Inter Ocean.)

He was Just finishing letter and as
happy over it as boy handling new
jack-knife.
What pleases you so?" asked his
friend.
Why he replied, its this way:
I'm writing TO my wife; she's out in
the country and has been for a month.
When she went ] agreed to keep an
expense account while she was away,
SOS TO show that 1 didn't get gay and
waste too much money. Well, pretty
soon after she went was foolish
enough TO go and play ball-nine full
innings-and play hard. The result
was that l could hardly move one foot
before the other for more than 4 week
and 1 had TO take two Turkish baths
TO get limbered up so that l could get
round at all. OF course, 1 had to put
'em down in the expense account. Now,
if I didn't tell her what made 'em nee
essary she'd possibly think I'd been
looking on the wine when 1t was red:
If l did, she'd laugh at me for a
chump. / can just hear her say: The
idea of a man at your age, who doesn't
take enough exercise to give him an
appetite, playing ball and getting so
used UP that he can hardly stir. It's
more than foolish: it's dangerous So,
you see, those Two Turkish baths both
cred me, either way.
NOW. TINS InoIliiHS L ger a letter
from her in which she says she is so
lame she can hardly write, that she got
to skylarking at a family gathering
down at the old farm, that she ran
races and chased the boys. and that it's
aMfully different the next day. That
gives me my chance and here's what
I've written her on that particular sub
ject:
Here he handed over his letter and
this is what he had penned TO the wife
of his bosom:
I'm sorry you are so lame and
bunged up after your jolly day of fun
and frolic at the farm. 1 hope it will
not last and that you are already as
lissom and graceful as ever. And that
reminds me of an experience that l had
wrote you about ii at the time ! was
sort of lonesome, you know. and didn't
know what TO do with myself out of
business hours, so / succumbed to an
invitation to play game of ball. 1t
was ridiculous of me at my age-you
know ] haven't had hold of a ball for
ten years-but l played, just the same.
Well, the next day ! could hardly move.
I really was serious. I verify believe
hat if I hadn't taken two Turkish
paths I'd be limping around yet. If

would suggest that you try a Turkish
path. too: there's nothing like them TO
get the soreness out of one"
LAS a matter of fact there ISM a
bath within fifty miles of her. but the
suggestion is good said the loving
husband, as he put the letter in an en-
velope. AT any rate she win never saw
boo about those two Turkish baths of |

THE PRESIDENT AT BOSTON.


President McKinley's Boston ad-I
dress is the strongest state paper he
has yet given to the nation. Its tone
is lofty, its diction eloquent, and its
logic masterful.
The address starts with fair re-
minder that many who now protest
against the nations acceptance of the
solemn obligations and consequences
of the late war with SPAN were i'm
pulsive in demanding that the coun-
try should hurry into that action.
The president next states the logic of
our presence in the Philippines.
f'There was but one alternative, and
that was either Spain or the United
States in the Philippines. The other
suggestions were, first, that they
should be tossed into the arena for
the strife of nations; or, second, be
lost to the anarchy and chaos of no
protectorate at all, and were too
shameful to be considered"
The president is severe on Senator
Hoar and others who have been loose
ly spoutipg about what the United
States should and should not do in
the Philippines. Without exception
their utterances have no basis of Cor
rect information. In the performance
of his duty, the president has taken
counsel from the members of the
peace commission, from Dewey, Mer-
ritt, and our diplomatic and consular
Representatives in Asia; and this he
is supplementing by sending special
commission to the Philippine islands
to investigate and report.
eff we knew everything by intui-
tlon," says the president, ,-''and I
some times think there are those who
believe that if we do not, they do
we should not need information, but
unfortunately most of US are not in
that happy state" That should make
some faint impression even on the
airy intuition of Senator Hoar, who,
if he has sought information at all,
has taken it from Agoncillo and the
Filipino junta.
The president states his policy with
great force and clearness. sThe
whole subject is now with congress,
and congress Is the voice, the con-
science and the judgment of the
American people," Until congress
shall rule to the contrary, the presi-
dent will "possess and hold the Philip
pines. giving TO the people thereof
peace and beneicent government; af-
fording them every opportunity to
prosecut their lawful pursuits; en-
couraging them in thrift and Industry
making them feel and know we are
their friends, not their enemies; that
their good is our aim; that their well
fare is our welfare; but that neither
their aspirations nor ours can be
realized until our authority is ac-
knowledged and unquestioned."
This is broad, liberal craftsmanship,
and its calm, firm definition is re-
freshing after the hysteria the country
has had from some of the mem bers
of the United States senate.

TWO IMPORTANT RULINGS.
Supreme Court of Tennessee Renders
Decisions at Knoxville.

Supreme Court of Tennessee Renders
Decisions at Knoxville.
KNOXVILLE. Nov. l6.-The supreme
court yesterday decided TWO Of the most
important cases to come before it this
term. 1t upheld the uniform textbook
law passed last spring and denied the
American Tobacco company's etfort to
enforce the sale of cigarettes IN len
uessee.
The book law provides for uniform
system Of books to be used IN city and
county schools, the contracts for fur
nishing these books to be let by the
state to the lowest and best bidders
These contracts were let in the sum mmer
and soon thereafter the American Book
company, through negro school,
teacher, begun legal fight on the law.
The court holds it is constitutional.
The cigarette case was brought on &C.
count of q revenue tax provision having
been made by the same legislature. IL
censing the sale of cigarettes. At the
same time there existed the 1897 law
against cigarette selling. J. Blauheld,
local dealer, paid the license and sold
cigarettes. He was fined, then test
case was made by the American To-
bacco company to test whether the anti
cigarette law was affected by the reve.
nue. act.
The court holds the revenue assess.
ment cannot forego the criminal statute.
