Promised Revival of Sailing Vessels in
the Carrying Trade.
Are we coming once more to a day OF

Is freely made at the Philadelphia Mar
thine Exchange. Within few years,
1t is believed, the tramp steamship will
have virtually disappeared from the
oriental carrying trade and its place
will be taken by the square rigger of
towering masts and May cordage. AL

steam TO sail Is said to be under way.
That far-seelng corporation, the Stand

CARE OF THE VOICE.
GREAT PUBLIC SINGERS FOREGo
MANY PLEASURES.
For the sake of Their Art They Must
Exercise Especial Caution as to
What They Eat and Drink-Pattfs
Many Prixations.

Adelina Patti has led life of self
denial for the sake of her voice. As n
Young girl she never had any of the
pleasures which fall to others. fartles'
dancing and fun of every kind We're
denied her. Her father and her broth
er-In-lay. NJ. Strakoseh. who was also
her impresario, were in constant fear
that she would fatigue her voice. one
can imagine how bright and lovely n
child Patti was. how eager her dellght
in innocent pleasure, yet pleasure had
10 be foregone. As to girlish tiirtations,
until she married the Marquis de
aux al n the little diva had been
ept almost like nun at home ana
new absolutely nothing of the world
The pleasures of the table We're not for
her She used TO eat only plainly
cooked meat and toast, SO that even the
slightest indigestion would not impair
the clearness of her voice.
On ordinary DAYS, when Patti has to
sing in opera at night. she dimes off beer
and potatoes and baked apples ut about
800 D. m, for beef is said TO give force
and apples smoothness to the voice.
After dinner the prima donna fasts
until she sings. taking between acts Of
an opera homeopathic doses of phos-
phorus and capslcum. both of which
are beneficial to the throat. II tired a
cup of bullion is prepared for her.
Patti never speaks n word on the
days whei. she has TO sing. Nor does
Nine. Albani, who otherwise takes 'ess
care of her voice than the diva and
fears only indigestlble food salmon,
nuts and such like. Both declare they
never even look" at tea. which hard
ems the vocal chords. Between the
parts of concert or opera Albani
drinks a glass of claret She believes
implicitly in the virtues of a cold bath.
Melba says: Il can eat anything, talk
all day and my voice is never affected
But, then, Melba's voice and her whole
physique are singularly strong and her
nerves are of the steadiest.
Jean De Reszke, whose throat Is not
strong, and who suffers from change
able climate, and complains of the heat
of theaters behind the scenes, is chary
of his fine tenor notes. He scarcely
ever goes into society nowadays, re-
stricts himself as to diet and pins his
faith to bicycling. Nothing, he firmly
believes, is so beneficial to the vocal
chords as TO take a quiet morning spin
in fresh country air.
Sims Reeves, throughout his whole
professional career, was sedulous In
nursing his voice. Before singing he
always sucked lozenge. in winch lie
much believed; 1t was home made
of glycerine. lemon juice and gum
arabic. Jenny Lind avoided fatigue Of
all kinds, and whenever she had to sing
she partook at intervals during the day
of a soup, prepared with chicken broth,
cream and barley which was supposed
to be softening to the voice.

The Courage of Hawks.

One female bird in her first season
took 81 rabbits. 3 hares and magples,
and in the next year 2l0 rabbits. lev
erets. II cartridges. 4 magples and 2
squirrels. A goshawk will go on catch
Ing rabbit after rabbit. or take five or
six birds in succession. for they do not
tire like falcons. Nothing comes amlss
to them. Hares, landrails, pheasants,
rabbits. waterfowls. ducks. rats, stoats,
weasels. mice. even hedgehog Is not
despised.
Their headlong courage is simply as.
tonishing. They will charge into a
quickest hedge till they have to be cut
out, or dive among rocks and bowl
ders. Captain Bland of Draycott, near
Stoke-on-Trent, had a goshawk which
stuck to hare till It twice rolled head
over heels. Then the hawk flew after

hare escaped into flock of sheep. The

There is disease among cattle
known as big jaw; many people catch
1t.
A woman with little practical sense
is a great evangelist and accomplishes
great good.
If you have bad dream about man
don't tell him. Nearly all men are su-
perstltious.
When a woman gets in trouble she
sends for her preacher, while a man
sends for his lawyer.
Nearly every man owns a collar and
cuff box. and keeps his collars and cuffs
in the bureau drawer

Sharks In Manila Bay.

According to Henry +. Steinbach, of
this city. who resided at Manila for
years, the Spanish sailors had little
choice, SO far as their lives were con-
cerned, between going down with their
ships and trying to swim ashore. This
Is due to the fact that the waters of
the bay are. he says, filled with sharks.
1.-The waters of the bay swarm with
these fierce creatures" he said, land
during my four years stay at Manila
more than one swimmer or victim OF
accident fell a prey to them. l have
even heard of them attacking men in
small boats, and 1t was reported that on
one occasion a man was seized by one
and pulled from skiff. For this rea-
son many people did not venture out
on the bay in small boats."-New York

Growing . Fence.

Some odd things happened in Cuba.
When man wishes a fence around his
yard or field, he doesn't build 1t, he
plants it-and 1t grows, too. First he
cuts great bundle of pinion twigs,
then he scratches little trench, where
he wants his fence to run, and finally
he sticks in the twigs in row few
inches apart. The soil of Cuba is so
rich and the weather so warm and
moist that directly the twigs take root,
throw out branches and leaves, and
presently there is a dense hedge Of
pinon trees enclosing the field. And
there are no nails to drop out here nor
boards to fall down and let in the cat
tie. and the fence is good for a hun
dred years.

into a barge. A vessel of similar ton
mage and In no better condition was
sold recently for 100000.
The reason for the change of motive
power is not far to seek. 1t lies In the
increasing difficulty Of securing coal
at Algiers, Port Said, Colombo and
other way stations to the orient. At
present the prices of coal are SO high
as to be almost prohibitive and ships
leaving Philadelphia or New York for
China are compelled to sacrifice any
where from 1000 to 1900 tons of carry
ing capacity to their coal supplies.
Heretofore they have taken ON only 800
tons of coal, or enough to carry them
from one coaling station to another.
Thus freight room was economical.
But with coal prices soaring and the
stocks at the stations being only suf-
ficient for the regular liners and the
warships the freighters are compelled
to change their plans. British shipping
merchants have taken steps to antici-
pate this coal question by changing
many of their ships In the China and
japan trade to oil burners.
Ten years ago II was practically I'm
possible to operate a sailing ship In the
oriental trade profitably-the steamers
had driven them out. 1t Is predicted
by n Philadelphia shipping man that
"ten years hence 1t will be practically
impossible to operate freight steamer
In the oriental trade proftably-the sail
ers will drive them out" The new clip
pers, however. are TO be vast improve
ment upon the old. They will be OF
steel Within twelve months, accord
ing to the belief OF the shipping man
quoted. the building of steel clippers
for the eastern trade will be begun on
the Delaware. and hundreds of such
vessels will be constructed within the
next dozen years. They are the only
class Of craft that can carry goods to
and from the far east at a profit

False Teeth of Antiquity.

The manufacture and use of false
teeth are undoubtedly of great an
tlqnify. The ancient Egyptians were
no mean dentists. Jawbones of mum
mics have been found with false teeth
In them. and also with teeth filled with
gold The ancient Greeks also knew
how to fill teeth with gold; also how to
make false teeth.
There is plentiful evidence of skilled
dentistry among the Romans. for many
of the Latin authors have references
TO false teeth. In the "Roman Laws OF
the Twelve Tables" there are distinct
references TO artificial teeth. The first
part of No 10 forbids useless expense

is permitted by No II, which allows
that the gold Filings of false teeth or
