by skilful hands. The object of all this
is the saving of lives, and the practice

week, are expected to be interesting
and exciting enough to attract large
numbers of spectators This phase of
the subject is SO well appreciated that
generous contributions to the expenses

THE BIGGEST STEAMER YET.

I am able to state that before the
Oceanic was launched at Belfast COM
peting company had given orders for
the construction of a steamer which will
exceed even the enormous proportions of
the new White Star liner. All the de-
tails of the design are being got out, and
there Is little doubt that in the course of
the next few months the contract will
be let. The experience Of recent years
has proved that steamers Of the largest
class are, in certain trades, very profit
able; but it Is evident that the demand
for such monster vessels will have to be
accompanied by proportionate in
crease In the craving dock accommoda-
ton. At present, / am told, there are
only two dry docks in the country which
will be able to admit the Oceanic-name-
ly, those at Southampton and Tilbury.-

LATE, BUT GOOD.

During the last year a great many
things have been strenuously denied
and afterwards rather easily admitted.
We now find the Germans admitting
that Admiral Won Diedrichs didn't be-
have very we'll to Admiral Dewey and
the United States. A high official of
the German Navy department now says
that if Admiral Won Diedrichs had
shown more tact in Manila bay it would
have been productive of good results
all round. The main trouble, he says,
was that Admiral Won Diedrichs was in
sufficiently informed regarding interna-
tional naval usages in such a delicate
situation. Consequently he continued
naval movements, drill, and searchlight
practice as If elsewhere than in a
blockaded port, thus arousing distrust
upon the part Of the Americans.
ALPS we'll that ends we'll The Ger
mans are more friendly now Fortu-
nately Admiral Dewey knew just what
to do in "such a delicate situation" and
he very promptly and efficiently did 1t.

Germany has occasion to take any part
with us in such a delicate situation she
will send as her representative a man
who knows what's what and who is po-
lite and tactful.

Well there was a quorum at the
meeting of the Board Of Aldermen last
evening and 1t was kept there. Other
things besides a quorum were also pres
ent, and the net result was more live

seen for some time.
Now that the aldermen have taken to
holding meetings and doing business
again it Is to be hoped they will con-
tinue. They We're not elected to play
fantastic tricks before high Heaven

SOME REAL REFORM IN NORWAY

Professor Peabody Of Harvard says
that Norway is the most temperate
country in Europe, and in a recent arti-
Gle he shows how the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors is regulated in Bergen, a
Norwegian city of $4,000 inhabitants,
The city has nine saloons and four
wholesale liquor stores, all managed by
a company composed Of 237 persons, the
capital stock being $4,000, upon which
only per cent. as interest can be re-
turned. The stockholders are all per-
sons Of character, who hold the shares
because prompted by public spirit rath-
err than desire for gain. OF the sa-
looms managed by the company Profess
sor Peabody says when one enters them
he finds a place of the most cherries
and repellent character. There are no
tables or chairs or encouragement for
idlers, but simply counters provided
with small glasses of the company,
measured like an apothecary's, for the
exact Dose A customer enters, drinks
his thimbleful, as ii of medicine and
at once withdraws. Instead of solicita-
ton there Is the barest permission. The
business is conducted, as it were, under
protest, and nothing but the most reso-
lutte determination to drink--a determi-
nation which no prohibitory law would
be able to frustrate--seems likely to
draw one into these inhospitable dispen-
saries. These saloons are open from s
to y in the morning and from 1870 to Z
in the afternoon. On Sundays and hol-
idays they close at J. in the afternoon
The Norwegian saloons are closed at
those hours when the grogshops in this
country are doing their largest business.
The profits of the Bergen company in
1897 were about $4,000, of which sum
$50, 600 was divided among various char
table and educational institutions Of |

FASHION NOTES.


The buttoned or hooked placket in
the back of the skirt is still seen on
fine new gowns, but proves impractical
in wearing. The skirt must be lifted at
times and is so close about the hips
that there is no way to raise it except
right in the middle of the back. This
throws the placket out of place, so
that either some of the hooks slip or
the buttons cape, and the effect is dis
astrous. One cannot be too careful of
the adjustment of a gown at the back.
A woman should not only be sure that
all the fastenings there are in place
and secure, but should see to it that
there are no finger marks, that the

Since the first of the year, Italy, ac-
cording to the Figaro, has been divided
into two camps, which have been quar-
relling and recriminating and almost
fighting. The cause of the dispute is
the question whether the finale of the
second act of "Die Meistersinger" is
or is not a fugue. Riccordi, the Ital-
IAN publisher OF Wagner's works, pub
iished an article in his musical journal
strongly denouncing certain Italian
critics for considering the passage in
question a fugue. They answered, cit
ing to uphold their opinion a number
pf French and German critics. Riccor
hi brought up against them one Rus
sian and one Spanish critic, who could
see no fugue in the finale. A remark
ab1e solution for the difficulty was
sought They telegraphed to Siegfried
wagner for his opinion. The latter, al
30 by telegraph, replied: ut is fugue.'
Sirnor Riccordi is considered beaten,
and peace is returning.

BY the use Of electricity it is now
possible to carry on the seasoning of
timber much more effectually and ex-
peditiously than by natural methods.
The timber to be treated is placed in
d solution Of borax, rosin, and carbon
ate of soda, contained in large tank
and the two poles of the dynamo are
connected by wires and lead plates to
the upper and lower surfaces of the
wood, the positive plate being at the
bottom. The action of the current is to
cause the sap to rise to the surface Of
the bath, while the solution penetrates
The pores Of the timber. This operation
lasts for from five to eight hours, and
then the wood is removed and dried,
either in a kiln or naturally Timber
which was treated by the process de-
gcribed and then exposed to the air in
summer for two weeks is stated to be as
well seasoned as wood which had been
stored for five years.

The board of managers of the Swed-
1sh state telegraph system has asked
for an allowance of s7s90O0, to be ex
pended during three years, for the ex-
tension of the telephone system in the
Kingdom. The government makes about
is per cent. net profit on the money
thus far advanced for such purposes.
Still, the state telegraph and telephone
lines are managed just as much for
the convenience Of the people as for
profit. The number of interurban tele-
phone conversations during last year
exceeded 100000, and the frequency of
the telephone calls necessitates the
building of new lines.
