2OTH CENTURY SAILING VESSEL

The Scientific American, observes
the sailing vessel was past, because
the development of the tramp steamer
to it's present economy of fuel and
large cargo capacity apparently rem
dered successful competition by the
sailing vessel impossible. During the
past few years, however, two types of
ships have been built in increasing
numbers which bid fair to equal, if not
exceed, the tramp steamer in cheap
ness of cost and operation, and at the
dawn of the new century there are two
vessels, one in each class, which are
about to be constructed that are more
distinctive than any that preceded
them.
One, the contract for which has just
been signed, is a huge, square-rigged
sailing ship, having five masts and a
tonnage of $500, which is over 1000
larger than that of any previous sail
ing vessel. The determination of the
may be taken as evidence that the pre-
ceding monster" sailing vessels owned
by German firms have proved to ba
paying investments.
The other type referred to is the
multi-masted sailing schooner. The
success of the six-masted schooner
George w. Wells, which is capable of
carrying 5000 tons of coal, has led the
builder to predict that she will be
followed by a seven-masted wooden
schooner, with a carrying capacity of
not less than 5000 tons of coal. Such a
vessel would be we'll on to 400 feet in
length over all, and in her the cost of
carrying a ton of coal would be brought
even lower than in her predecessors.
1t is more than likely says the Scien-
tifiC American that as the century ad-
Vances we shall see square rugged and
fore-and-aft vessels designed for the
carrying of cargoes in bulk which will
rival in size all but the largest of the
steamships of the century which has
just closed.
On the other hand our experience has
been that the steamer has taken the
place of the sailing vessel for the big
sugar cargoes from here to New York
and other Atlantic ports. Last year
the harbor was full of large deep sea
ships. This year their place has been
occupied by the new line of cargo
ships are expected. OF course the
Scientific American has a wider view
carrying steamers and no deep sea
than we can possibly have here, and
certainly the fact that such monsters
are being built in Germany and the
United States, points the argument
that the Scientific American makes.

The arrival OF the genus hobo in our
midst is by no means satisfactory
However the Territory is small and it
is by no means difficult to locate them,
and round them up. In fine weather of
course this is a paradise for hobos, and
our people are so hospitable both in
town and country that there is no like
lihood of the hobo going hungry. How
we are going to get rid of these rcgues
IS the question. On the mainland they
are moved on from one township to
another but here it means putting
them on board ship, and unless they
can be made to work their passage,
that means passage money out of Ter
ritorial funds. This place will become
a popular resort If the hobos learn that
they can get a free sea voyage.

Of a little V opening, and the whole
was most daintily finished by n wide
sailor collar adorned with a frill of
hemstltched cambric This, in addi-
tion, was carried down the opening

Another nightgown, also slightly
open at the throat. was arranged on
tiny square yoke, back and 'front.'
composed Of two rows OF insertion, a
little frill of edging to match coming
at the top and much wider frill at
the lower edge. The opening itself
was rather a narrow box pleat, with
two rows Of feather stitching. The
wider frilling was again responsible
for the wrist finish, as also n feather
stitched band Of the longcloth.
In both cases the skirt part was in
two breadths, having a side gore, the
sloping side of which was laid to the
back and the straight edge to the
front. Six yards of longcloth will be
found sufficient, or the same quantity
of cambric, if that latter fabric be
preferred.

Canning Grnne .Inire.

Not every housekeeper has learned
that pure grape juice can be canned.
Those who have ventured are de-
lighted with results, although some dc
not go about it the right way. 1t is
needless to cook the fruit before
straining. 1t Injuries flavor.
The grapes should be gathered in a
cleanly manner. If no fruit press is at
hand, just simply mash the fresh
plucked grapes, in any good-sized re-
ceptacle, preferably proclaim lined, it
being best not to let the juice come in
contact with tin. Use wooden
masher (and wooden spoons, If any
strain off the juice, run it through a
strong, fine cheesecloth; heat to smart
boiling mo more than that, and in por-
celain lined kettles), and Immediately
seal up in fruit Jars.
Stand Jars bottom up a while If.any
prove not alright, heat again and use
thicker rubber ring. Use no old.
dead rubber, or worn-out rings. Put
no sugar to the Juice. Keep it pure
grape juice, and serve it so.
An ordinary sized family will wish
there were hundreds Of jars of grape
juice in their storeroom, so delightful
and refreshing is the drink. The value
OF it once understood there will be no
grapes to spare; no question Of what
will we do with all these grapes

iarless, hence the loud outcrles from
the many women whose throats win
not bear daylight exposure.
The very first thing for the would
be reformer to do is to do away with
the evil that has caused all the trou-
bic, viz: high OF stiff collars. IN
starched duck makes an excellent
foundation for stocks, and is not stih
enough to injure the throat Never
wear anything too tight around the
neck--it is the cause of countless trou-
bles--or a stock that is lineG with any
thing but white, and that EIust be of
the softest material possible. Stiff lin.
en- collars should be relegated to the
masculine sex; as fashion has let go Of
them, there is hope already.
The English fashion Of breakfast
jackets with low sailor collars is be-
ing taken up by many beauty seekers
1t is a sensible and becoming style,
and the best possible way to acquire
a pretty neck and throat. Any num-
ber of society girls are making a prac-
tice of having all their house gowns
constructed without collars, and, as
consequence, the improvement in
the color Of the skin is much hastened.
Absolute cleanliness is one of the
requisites of a pretty neck A thorough
soaking in warm water and a pure
soap should be given at least once a
day; then a rinsing in clear warm
water, and finally cold water to close
the pores. Tincture of benzoin added
to the water will have a whitening
effect on the skin. A few drops only
are necessary.
Often the neck is disfgured by dark
lines produced by high and stiff neck
wear. In such a case cucumber milk
will be found very beneficial. 1t should
be we'll rubbed into the pores after
they have been cleansed by the warm
water and soap. and before the cold
water is used.
Probably the tissues are relaxed, and
general Gabbiness is the result. To
remedy this procure a good massage
cream, and after the fingers have been
annointed rotate the muscles of the
neck firmly in n slanting direction
from under the chin toward the shoul-
ders, and from the middle of the
throat backward and upward toward
the ears.
Breathing exercises will do much to-
ward rounding out and strengthening
the throat muscles.-Philadelphla

why women rail in Business.

Business women in every department
Of life are able to earn larger salaries
to-day than ever before. Utter fail
ures in business life are due to one
of two causes: incompetence or i'll
health. Take journalism OF literature
for instance, since that is the career
so many young women attempt to
pursue. 1t is a mistake to imagine
that good education and facile pen
are all that are required. Good health
Is absolutely essential-I speak now
particularly Of journalism-and unless
one is exceptionally strong this branch
Of literary work should be left entirely
alone.
Delicate, sensitive, nerotic women
who attempt newspaper work are ir-
reparably injuring their health, for
the work demanded is constant and
firing. Women who undertake this
work must be willing to go anywhere
at moments notice; from morning
interviews to afternoon and evening
social functions, irrespective of
weather or disposition, is but a part
OF the work she may be assigned and
when that part of the work is done the
copy" must be gotten ready for the
paper. Delicate wclnen almost in
variably become failures, because, un.
less one has constitution of iron,
q nervous breakdown is inevitable
Writers of fiction and magazine arti-
cles escape these, Disadvantages, but
in their case real ability is required.
This is the real stumbling block to
many. Besides a good general educa-
ton something in addition is required
to make a successful writer. Most be-
ginners in literature fail because they
try to make their writings convey
sense of the amount Of learning they
have acquired instead Of dealing with
the matter they profess to be writing
upon and trying to infuse into 1t
little Of their own originality; others
fail because they scorn subjects close
at home and aim for heights that are
attainable only after years Of toll, and
another class Of writers fail. or be-
come discouraged and abandon their
work, because they fail to select
proper mediums to send their manu-
script to and therefore naturally have
It rejected.
The above are but few Of the rea-
sons why SO many women give up lit
erature and look to other fields for
empioyment.-Clara Williamson, in
American Queen.
