Local and General News of ships
and shipping.
The schooner Ida Lawrence, Capt Camp
bell, eleven days from Baltimore, arrived
yesterday with a cargo of coal, consigned
to the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railroad. 1t was an unusually long pas
sage for this vessel, as she has made a
number of record breaking trips during the
past several years. Capt. Campbell reports
that it was the toughest trip he has ever
experienced. The vessel encountered a
succession of storms which not only de-
layed her progress, but made 1t very te-
dious and disagreeable on board. Fortu-
nately no serious damage was done, and
the vessel arrived safe and sound
The British ship Earl of Dalhousie Capt.
Thompson has reached Cape Town after
one of the quickest trips on record, from
Tacoma. The voyage. which was made IN
eighty-four days, was the result OF a
three-cornered challenge entered into by
the shippers of the ships Earl of Del
house, Imberhorn and the Atalanta, three
boats of about the same build. The last
one of the three to reach port was to pay
for an elaborate supper and a feast for the
crews. The ATLANTA was lost on the Voy-
age, and it was said that the vessel ven
der to get the benefit of distance saved
by cutoff. She went on a reef and was
ground to pieces, nearly the entire crew
perishing. The Imberhorn is still at sea.
Out on the lakes they have decided to
try something new in the line of marine
architecture. The Cleveland Steel Canal
Company proposes TO build a steel barge
800 feet long and As feet wide, with double
bottom and sides, which can be pumped
out like a drydock. Into this barge will
be loaded small boats for transportation
to the head of the Hrie Canal, where they
will be 1oated out and sent on their way
BY the use of this barge the smaller boats
will be saved from the dangers attending
a trip on the lake in rough weather.
The Norwegian bark Mabel from this
port for Goole, which has been reported
before ashore in River Humber, was as
sisted off and beached. She is discharging
cargo into lighters and forwarding it to
Goole; has four feet of water in her hold,
her pumps having become disabled. The
Mabel sailed from Savannah Dec. 20, with
a cargo of naval stores.

HOW PATTI MET THE BARON.
He Was n Massage Artist in Her
Employ.

Washington Cor. Chicago Record
The marriage of Adelina Patti will make
the massage business more popular than
ever, for she first became acquainted with
her new husband by employing him In that
line. 1t has become very extensive in
Washington and all the cities of the East
as 1 suppose in the West also, and is
now regarded by rich and self-induIgent
people as one Of the necessaries of life
The fashionable physicians in this city
prescribe 1t as cure for the grin. which
leaves the patient weak and enervated
Nothing seems to take the spirit out of n
man so much, and there is no inclination
for the recovery OF strength. The mas
seurs of Washington have been very busv
during the last few weeks They called
In vain for assistants from New York
and then cabled TO Sweden for them. The
masseurs in New York report that thev
also have more than they can do.
A new feature of the massage treat
ment, as practiced in this city. is to re-
store youth and beauty in women who are
showing signs of age. A good-looking
woman breads nothing so much as Urin-
kles, and a masseur here guarantees TO
remove them by an application OF hot
water and the pressure of her fingers upon
the flesh. The operation requires a good
deal Of patience and sacrifice however, be-
cause while under treatment the patient's
face is swathed in bandages Of hot water
for several days and she can eat nothing
but liquid food taken through a tube There
have been at least three successful oper-
atoms OF this kind. One lady In WASH
ington, who a year ago showed unmis-
taxable signs of age, blossom out last fail
In the fullness and bloom of youth or, as
she said, sixteen years younger than
when she left the city In the spring.

The short feathers are pulled out without
pain IL Is said, but the long wing feathers
are clipped with short scissors, the stumps
being left In the skin. In about three
months these are ready TO be extracted
Great skill is required in the operation TO
determine which feathers are ripe, for IL
they are pulled too soon and the socket is
injured, the feather will not grow again
Having been carefully assorted, the
feathers must undergo a number OF opera
tons before they are ready for the market.

The profits OF ostrich farming tbonoh
they seem 10 have fallen off considerably
since the early days of the industry are
sim very fair The feathers of each bird
are worth about $50 per year; a pair Of
adult birds Is valued at $500. and pair of

Much has been said, and apparently with
reason, of the stupidity of the ostrich. I'M
like all other animals who have been ia
mestlcated, he shows no attachment 20 his
master, nor does he seem TO acquire onv
new IDEAS or habitudes from association
with him Scarcely. indeed, does he learn
IN years to recognize the person who brings
him his daily food. What scanty wits the
ostrich has seem to desert him on the
slightest provocation. The least alarm will
throw a whole troop into panic, and soma

through an accident, no efforts TO cure him

and shuffles off this mortal coil at his
earliest opportunity.
The culture of the ostrich evidently re-
qures for its success. In addition to favor
able climatic conditions, experience, skill
and care on the part of the operators IL
would seem that, in the California expert
ment. these elements had been most for
tunateiy combined, and we may look for
ward in the not distant future to seeing
the home market supplied by American
feathers, and a new name added to the al
ready varied list of American industries.
