Expensive Perfumcd Flannel is Used

From Harpers Bazaar.
Every woman likes TO have dainty things:
and while it is not considered desirable to
use strong perfumes and scents stu il f.
very nice to have dainty perfume about
ones belongings. The use of perfume has
been so abused that no woman of refine
ment likes to have more than faint dain-
ty odor about her clothes and laces, and
this can best be obtained by the use OF
sachets. 1t is now the fashion to have
these sachets in all different sizes and
shapes, to be put into the bureaus and
wardrobes, so that every article OF clothing
may be permeated with whatever perfume
is chosen. None of the perfumes are in
Jured-mOst of them are improved-by hav-
ing fresh orris mixed with them, and one
OF the incest perfumes is the mixture OF
violet or heliotrope with orris, in equal
parts of each.
There are few If any, sachet powders
that retain their odor for any length OF
time, and it is necessary to constantly refill
the sachets These must be made either OF
silk or some other thin material, and they
should be lined with cotton batting.

fume is used. Violets and heliotropes look
particularly well embroidered. For the
new French perfumes constantly being
brought out there can be the embroidery of
daisies or some scentless flower.
The very best sachet used Is perfumed
flannel so impres mated with perfume that
it retains its odor for a very long time.
French women sew this perfumed flannel
small bits of it-into the waists Of their
gowns, the backs OF their cloaks. and even
have small bits of ii in their hats. 1t is
very expensive. and unless the most expen-
sive quality is bought, is too strong to be
very desirable. The small sachet bags with
the orris and violet, made so that they can
be sewed into the dress waists. are really
better, unless the very best quality Of the
perfumed flannel can be obtained. 1t Is
rather a pretty idea to choose one narticu-
lar perfume and use only that; but again
It should be carefully chosen, so that the
odor is not strong or very noticeable.

Eccentric Tides.

Owing to the effects of shore-l,nes
and other influences which are more
or less obscure, it is very difficult to
account for the peculiarities exhibited
by tidal waves in various parts of tho
world. Interfering waves cause once
a-day tides at Tahiti, and in ggrne
other places, while on the other hand
in the harbors back of the Isle Of
Wight, and In the Tay in Scotland
there are three tides in day. The
latter have recently been ascrlbed to
"oyertides," produced by the modifica-
ton Of tidal waves running ashore.

TORPEDO BOAT TRAGEDY
A Sad Illustration of the Danger Of
This Service.


This Service.
The Union squadron investing
Charleston during the civil war was
drawing closer and closer to the doom
ed place. One Of the warships that lay
closest inshore was the Housatonic,
and that vessel was selected as the
torpedo boats victim. The Portland
Transcript tells the tragic story. The
evening of Feb. II, 1865, closed In raw
and foggy. At 8 o'clock Capt. Corison
gave the command and the boat drop
ped down the river. AS the clocks
we're striking the half hour in the city
the little craft pulled over the bar
Noiselessly she glided through the
water, guided by the lights on the
Housatonic, for which she headed. 30
heavy was the fog that she escaped
the notice Of the sentries. At quar-
ter to nine she lay directly in front
of the Housatonlo, at distance of Ave
hundred yards. She was running faster
now, and little farther on she began
to submerge. Two hundred yards more
and she disappeared. Five minutes
later there was a dull roar, and the
water around the Housatonic boiled
like a caldron. The noble ship gave
mighty upward heave and then be-
gan to settle. Ensign Hazleton and
four sailors who were below persisted,
but fortunately for the rest of the crew
the water was shallow and they saved
themselves by climbing into the rig
cling. The vessel was total loss, but
the submarine torpedo boat was no
where to be found. Two years after
the war, when the wreckage was being
removed from Charleston harbor the
Housatonio was raised. In her hull
there was a CHASTITY wound, inflicted
by the torpedo, and in that hole was
the torpedo boat with every man on
board still at his post, where he had
died years before. The little boat had
torn a big hole in the cruiser, through
which the water had poured in such a
volume that the torpedo boat was
drawn into it. And there it's crew died
of suffocation, in the grasp Of the en-
envy which they had destroyed

Ing British War Ships.

Ship launches in Great Britain
are bound up with red tape. Two or
three months beforehand the superin-
tendent has to apply for authority to
launch on a day to be named in the
application. When a large ship is to
be launched he is to be guided by mus
ty instructions, over forty-one years
old, as to the erection of booths for
visitors, the appropriation of tickets,
and admission of the public. Accord
Ing to the dockyard regulations this
expense in the case of any one ship Is
not to exceed 5000. When her majesty
launched the Centaur, which was to
be renamed Duke of Connaught. but
was finally sent into the water as the
Royal Arthur, she also named the
Royal Sovereign, which was foated out
of dock. The bill of construction for
the accommodation of 5000 persons
came to $2,250. Other incidental ex-
penses made the bill s9,500 as against
the 5000 allowance. When the duchess
OF York launched the Prince George at
Portsmouth in August, 1895, the ad-
miralty startled the treasury by re-
questing $4,000 for expenses. The
treasuryites got their backs up and
said that these functions had reached
such a point of extravaganza that they
could go no further.
