a table so placed, especially with a

to break up length is to form group

stand three-quarters Of the length of

The English marine publication, the
Syren, says: eve British pride our
selves that the aggregate tonnage Of
British ships approximates to the total
merchant tonnage owned by the re-
naming maritime countries of the
world but there is another phase Of
the matter where a comparison with
other nations places us in position
other than first. 1t appears we have
only eleven vessels of over 10000 gross
tons-headed by the Oceanic, with her
1900 tons. But Germany has TWEEN
ty-three vessels in that category. The
United States is the only other nation
with vessels above 10000 tons and she
has four. The biggest ship owned by
France is 1893 tons, while Norway's
greatest ship is of 3,277 tons gross. In
speed Great Britain is right ahead Of
her competitors, having thirty-one YES
sells with a speed of twenty knots or
more; Belgium has six, the United
States four, Germany and Holland
three each, France two and Russia one.
Thus in speed the British flag excels
the world, while the disparity between
Germany and this country, so far as
size is concerned, will soon be lessened,
as several big vessels are nearing COM

Monkeys as Bait for Crocodiles.

Recently a subscriber to the British

catching crocodiles, I shall be glad to
observe whether any one replies sat
isfactorily to Mr.. Firmin's query.
tried my hand when l was last in Cey-
Ion to catch some crocodiles that had
taken some coolie women, and I will
state my method. I shot a large
monkey (the silver wandroo), and
then 1 sewed up triangle shark hook
that I had with me in the stomach of
the monkey, passing the chain and
swivel out of the throat. I then fast
ened to the chain a strong manila
rope, which I attached to a spring.
tree. I am bound to add that every
morning, to my disgust, found my
monkey gone, but no crocodile. When
one considers the toughness of a mon
keys skin the result was to me always
ncomprehensible. Perhaps we may
learn Of some infallible dodge, which
I shall be glad to try when next I go

Gems In California.

San Francisco Chronicle: 1t is a we'll
known fact that several hundred dia-
monds of commercial size have from
time to time been found in connection
with gold placer workings in certain
portions Of this state. Within twelve
months twenty-seven stones have been
found in one placer mine on the Feath-
err river, all but one being in the rough
and globular, while the twenty-seventh
showed we'll defined crystalline struc-
ture. The largest of these weighed
but single carat, and the small octa-
hedral brilliant weighed but quarter
of carat, but all were stones of pure
water. The recent discovery of zicron
sands close to the limits of Oakland
has already been announced in the
Chronicle, but the discoverer is not yet
prepared to define the locality, prob
ably for commercial reasons. Near
Marvel, San Bernardino county. tur-
quoises have been found which in color
and quality surpass the Oriental gems.

a Good Cosmetic

Authorities all agree that cold water
Is the best Of cosmetics, and those who
wish for good compilations can employ
no better means to that end than the
daily bath. Beside this, nothing so
conduces to health and comfort in
warm weather, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch. Taken just before going to bed,
1t frequently insures good nights
rest; taken on rising in the morning,
it gives a feeling of freshness for the
labors of the day. Sea salt, cologne,
etc., add much to the luxury of the
bath, and one need but read of the
ancient Romans to learn how far lux.
urlousness may go in this direction.

What is she doing? You may we'll

you ever know maid yet who man
aged to catch the train she was ex-

into a wrong train--one which left ten

JUST IN TIME.

It was to cure herself of hopeless
passion that Helen Brown left the city
and its vanities for her Aunt Julia's
farmhouse. She had fallen in love
with man who ignored her very eX-
istence, although she was beautiful
and an heiress.
The quiet life on the farm gave her
too much time to think, so when she
heard that the position of under
teacher was vacant in the country
school she applied for the place anu
won It,
She expected to find her master
lubberly rustic, who wrote poetry for
the town paper, ard was rather sur
prised when he turned out to be a
young man Of intellect, with refined
face.
How he dressed she was never quite
sure, for when she was in his company
she never thought Of it, and when she
tried to think about it afterwards she
could not remember.
If 1t was homcspun, then homcspun
must be a particularly becoming style
OF cloth for gentleman, and no man
was ever more suitably dressed than
Arthur Church.
And he is superior to any one |
have ever met-superior TO them ali!
she declared aloud, in the solitude OF
her walk hoTcward. "Once. at least,
will say that to MY own heart, for
though I do not love him l can at least
appreciate his worth. Love him? An,
if l only dared. l could! l could! 0,
what am l saying? In love with two
men in the course Of six months. I'M
possible. 1t would be too contempi-
ble"
And now, as the pink flush upon her
cheek grew scarlet, and despite the
fact that she despised herself for it. a
strange and delightful JOY thrilled Miss
Brown at the remembrance Of certain
glances she had received from the eyes
or her fellowtcncher, and though her
own GOODNESS had frozen those looks,
though her naughty composurc had re-
buked the words that almost trembled

Divide the quantity Of coffee to be
roasted into two parts, put the first
half into coffee rooster, which must

coffee becomes pale brown. like dried

roast the other half until it is the color
of fine brown chestnuts and has lost
one-fifth Of its weight. Mix the two
parts together and grind them at once
in coffee mill, both roasting and
grinding should be done as the coffee
is wanted. To two ounces of ground
coffee put four cups of cold water,
then draw off this infusion and put 1t
aside. then put the wet coffee into the
