An Ocean Hotel.

Some idea of what q big hotel a
transatlantic liner is may be gained
from the following from Ainslie's Mag
azine: Everything about the kitchen
of great steamship is on a most elab-
crate scale. The range weighs many
tons; the various soup caldrons are
constructed to hold 20 gallons; loaves
are baked by the hundred, joints roast
ed by the dozen, each in n separate and
specially constructed compartment. To
serve the meals thousands of plates,
pieces of silver, cups and saucers and
napkins are required, and the average
breakage in the galley of q big ship
amounts to barrel of china every day.
1.-THE amount of stores required for
single voyage by a great liner is COM
parable only to the commissariat of an
army. Here are few figures furnish
ed by the chief steward of one Of the
big German ships from the order sheet
for q recent trip: Sixteen tons of fresh
beef, five tons of lamb and veal, $500
head of chickens, ducks, geese and
game, four tons of sailed meats, 1000
dozens eggs, three tons of sugar, 100
barrels of flour, 700 bushels of pota-
toes, 21a tons of butter, 1000 quarts OF
milk and 500 gallons of ice cream. OF
course this is not an exhaustive list,
but it Will serve to give an idea of the
enormous appetite which the store
rooms of the ocean liner must satisfy"

seemed to be lack of sufficient CAPT.

from the producer to the consumer
chat sometimes resulted in deterior-

Cooling Water In Nicaragua.

"They have" said n railroad man, "a
primitive method of cooling water in
Mexico and Central America. The
principal is perfectly simple, but there
is n certain knack about the thing that
1 have never known a white man TO
fully acquire.
When a native in one of the broiling
hot little villages of interior Nicaragua
wants to cool some water, she fills a
half gallon earthenware jar about two
thirds full. Parenthetically 1 say she
because this is a task that requires
more energy than any male Nicara-
guam was ever known to possess. The
jar is made of baked clay, and. not be-
ing glazed. is partially porous and soon
becomes moist on the outside. Two
leather straps are firmly attached to
the neck, and, seiZing these in her
hands, she begins to rotate the jar
swiftly in the air. The mouth is wide
open, but centrifugal action keeps the
liquid from flying out.
THE average native woman is frail
and listless i'll appearance, but the en-
lurance which they exhibit at this sort
of calisthenics is marvellous. 1t is
about the same as swinging Indian
clubs, and l am afraid to say how long
1 have seen them keep ii, up, lest you
might set me down as a prize liar.
Generally the lord and master lies in
one corner of their Jacal,' or hut,
smoking a cigarette and watching the
operation languidly. When the wom-
an thinks the water is sufficiently cool.
she stops with a dexterous twist of the
wrist and hands him the jar.
Usually he takes gulp, growls out,
Mocha calora! which is native pa
tots for blamed hot and she begins
again, patiently describing pinwheels.
1 have never made n test with a Their
mometer, but l assure you they can re-
duce tepid water to the temperature Of
a very cool mountain spring. New

when Poor writing Ia Best.

A popular author whose handwriting
was none of the best used to maintain
that it was matter of principle with
him not to write too well. He declared
that for the use Of printers, good hand
writing was only snare and a delu-
sion, tending TO encourage carelessness
and mistakes on their part. The COM
positcrs, he asserted, were compelled
to devote their very best care and at
tention TO bad handwriting, with the
result that, when it was deciphered, it
was so fixed in their minds tina. it was
impossible for them to set IL up in
correctly. He therefore declared that
the worst handwriting was the best
for the printers.-Truth.

alton.

The work of fitting the armory
shops of Rock Island arsenal for the
reception of half a million dollars
worth of machinery, and the manu-
facture Herewith of $50 stand of
small arms a day for the army and
navy of the United States, is well ad-
vanced. 1t is big work and will alb
sorb practically all of the $3.50, 900
preliminary appropriation made by
congress for the manufacture of small
arms at this place. II good luck and
no stoppages attend the prosecution
of the work it may be possible for the
shop to be in order year hence, so
that manufacture may be begun. 1t
may be longer. If it is longer it will
be because of unavoidable delays. for
the work is being pushed and advant-
age is being taken of every opportu-
nifty to advance it.
A long time ago the plans for the
equipment of the new armory had
been figured out, and long ago they
were submitted to the department
and approved, but not until after the
recent appropriation of $500, 900 had
| been made would Maj. Blunt consent
to talk about them. There was no
use, he said, in discussing plans that
could not be carried out because there
was no money with which TO work.
By these plans, as they stand. the
machinery. in every detail, is to be
placed so as to enable the work to
pass from hand to hand with the least
loss of time and the smallest amount
of travel. Maj. Blunt's five years at
Springfield armoTy, as its command
ing officer, and his other experience
in the handling of manufactures in
other lines. and the rush days of the
Spanish war at this post, have fitted
him to make this adjustment in the
most advantageous way.
To Use Three shops.
BY these plans only the three west
ernmo st shops of the north or armory
row will be used for the small arms
plant that is now in hand. Part of
the central shop and the two eastern
shops will not be equipped. They will
be held for further growth, and may
be used for storage.
