Unlucky Names For Ships.

Nothing is ever likely to shake the
naval superstition that ships named
after things that sting are doomed to
loss. Besides the Viper and Cobra,
the Serpent was lost with nearly all
her crew, the Wasp was wrecked with
heavy loss off Tory Island, and a Sec
ond Wasp, a gunboat, disappeared in
a typhoon, never to be heard Of again.
In consequence Of this double disaster
to ships named Wasp, that name has
been struck out of the Admiralty
list of available names: In the past
we lost Rattiesnake, Gadfly and Hor-
net. Probably a new Viper and new
Cobra will be built, but should any
thing happen to either of them the
name is almost certain to be changed
by the authorities In Difference to
sentiment that prevails aloat con-
cerning unlucky names. The only
exception that obtains is the Resolu-
ton. The present ship is the tenth.
No less than eight Of them have had
tragic fates, and the present one some
years since very nearly met disaster
at sea. Most of the old Resolutions,
however, earned first glory in battle.
hence the perpetuation Of the name.

Queen Victoria Trying to Servants.

Even in the royal household the post
of housemaid Is apparently no sine.
cure, and I remember long ago hear.
ing q story of lady who. while en-
gaging a new servant, naturally made
the inquiry as to why she had left
her last place." 1t came out then that
she had been employed at Bucking-
ham Palace, and that she left because
really Her Majesty Cthe late Queen
was that particular that after you had
done busting everything quite as
much as necessary, she would pass her
lace handkerchief across table or a
chair and notice even the tiniest
speck." Even Buckingham Palace is
not good enough for servants nova
days, it seems! 1t was told of the late
Queen that she was so dificile as to
the making Of her bed that 1t took the
chambermalds two hours daily to
make 1t, as the undersheet had to be
most carefully and smoothly stitched
to the lower mattress so that there
never was the slightest wrinkle, which
story recalls the fairy tale of the Prin.
cess and the crumpled rose leaf.-The
Onlooker.

Most Costly of Silver Services.

Few people, at least in this country.
possess plate worth such fabulous
sum as that owned by London's Lord
Mayor during his term of Office. Its
face value has been computed to be
slightly over 100000, though three
times that amount would not buy 1t,
owing to the historical interest at
tached to many of the articles. The
two solid silver soup tureens, which
are employed at the banquets to dis
tribute 100 gallons of clear turtle to
the guests, are valued at $500 apiece,
and are said to have been in posses
sion of the corporation for over cen.
tury. Moreover, there Is gross Of
silver dinner plates worth $500, 200
ice pals valued at nearly $4,000, 200
entree dishes, the cost Of which $10,-
600 would not cover; eighty solid sill
yer meat dishes, worth another $10,-
900, and hundreds of other articles,
such as grape scissors, saltcellars,
walters trays. decanter labels, ETC..
all of solid gold or silver, and valued
at over $4,000. This collection of
plate is constantly being increased. for
every Lord Mayor, at tie expiration
of his term of office, is expected to
add an item, the cost Of which must
not be lower than $500.-London Tit

Misses Long Coat.

Long coats, that completely cover the
gown, make emirently stylish, COM
Portable outdoor garments for young
girls and are in the height of present
styles. The excellent May Manton
model, shown in the large drawing, is
made from Oxford cloth, with simply
stitched edges, and is serviceable at
the same time that it is fashionable;
but plain or covert cloth in black, grey,
tan, brown and dark green and cheviot
are all appropriate for fair weather
coats,while waterproof finished cloths
are admirable for rainy days.
The coat is loosely fitted without a
seam at the centre back. 1t falls i'll
unbroken liEes and may be plain across
the shoulders. or when desired, Tie
applied yoke can be added as shown ir
the small sketch. The neck is finished
with regulation coat collar and lapels
and convenient pockets are inserted in
the fronts. The coat sleeves are fin
ished with becoming roll-over cuffs.
The closing is effected invisibly by
means Of fly.
To cut this coat for a miss of four
teen years Of age three and one-half
yards of material forty-four inches
wide, or three yards tifty-four inches
wide will be required.

The lining is carefully fitted and
closes at the centre trout. The full
soft back and fronts are simply gath
cred at upper and lower edges and
arranged over the foundation. The ex.
tension straps are cut in one with
the waist and covered with any de-
sired material. The tulle bertha is
shirred on indicated lines and arranged
over the neck edge. When yoke and
sleeves are desired they can be made
of the same or contrasting material,
either as a separate guimpe with the
lining for foundation as part of the
waist. The elbow sleeves are both
fashionable and cut on exceptionally
good lines, as the puffs fall exactly at
the elbows, so allowing perfect free
dom for the arms.
To cut this waist for a woman of
medium size, two yards Of material

CaliRula's Galleys.

Prince Orsini, who is the owner OF
the beautiful Lake Nemi, near Rome.
has facilitated in every possible way
the efforts Of the Italian Government
to raise the two galleys Of Caligula
which were sunk A. D. Al off the
shores Of this lovely sheet of water.
Sufficient has been recovered at pres.
ent to disclose the astounding fact that
the vessels in question measure respec.
lively 225 feet and 237 feet in length
by 60 feet and Is feet in width. Their
decks were evidently covered with
splendid mosaics. and already an i'm
mense number of magnificent bronze
objects, among them a beautiful head
of Medusa, are to be seen at the
Princes villa, where eventually a mu-
scum is to be organized Of objects in
connection with the sunken galleys.

Teachers Deser, O Better Pay.

The average life Of the country
teacher is not over three years. Why
Is this? Why does he not continue in
the business as long as he lives and is
able to work? The reason is evident.
The remuneration Is not sufficient.
This state Of things should not exist
in our schools. Well qualified teachers
should receive, at least, as much as
first class mechanics. Until this Is
done, teaching will never take it's
proper place, and the best results will
never be secured. Teaching has to be
learned, like any other kind Of busi-
ness, and it Is a reckless waste all
round to have teachers leave the work
just when they have learned to do 1t
with some facility.-John McBurney,
in Ohio Teacher.

PROSTATE With Rheumatic Fever Sb
Times within Twenty Years.

Prostrate With Rheumatic Fever Six
Times Within Twenty Years.
This was the case of Mr.. Eli Wiltshire,
of Landsdown Terrace, Calne, Wis, who,
during this time, suffered the most intense
agony. He writes:
IT heartily indorse the testimonials
which you publish of st. Jacobs Oil as a
pain killer, for I have been a sufferer
from rheumatism and kindred complaints
at different times during the last twenty
years. I have been laid PROSTATE with
rheumatic fever six times during that Pc
riod, therefore I consider I know some
thing about rheumatism. During all of
these twenty years have'tried various ad-
vertised rheumatic remedies, oils, oint-
ments and embrocations. None of them
gave me much relief, but when I tried ST..
Jacobs Oil I found quite different results.
It eased the pain almost Immediately, and
has done for me what all other remedies
put together never began to do.
"I could give you several cases that have
been cured, which have come under my
notice, and through my recommendation /;
also one of toothache, one of faceache and
one of sore throat.
ri have recommended st. Jacobs Oil
and shall continue to do so by every means
in my power, as I consider you deserving
of every support"

The Transit of Venus.

In the "Life of Major-General Sir
Robert Murdoch Smith, K. c. NJ. Co."
we have this story:
"On their way between Telriz and
Teheran the members of the expedi.
ton sent to Persia by the German
Government to. observe the transit Of
Venus met a solitary European lady
riding in the opposite direction, a
member Of the English colony, who
was as clever as she was beautiful.
Having been long resident in Persia,
she was fearlessly riding alone, long
way ahead Of her caravan.
"The Germans marveled at such an
apparition in such a dreary waste
wondered she wasn't afraid-wouldn't
she let some Of them stand by till her
servants and baggage came up? No,
she was quite at ease, and usually In
her travels was far ahead of her at.
tendants, whose mules, more heavily
laden, could not keep her pace. And
now, gentlemen, she said, who are
you. and where are you bound for?'
"They introduced each other; one
was the astronomer. another the photo
grapher, another the archaeologist and
naturalist, and so on, and they were
going to Ispahan to observe the tran
sit Of Venus. The lady smiled, started
her pony, and waved her adieux, say
ing: To observe the transit of Venus.
All! we'll you can go home now,
gentlemen, your duty is done. Good.
bye"

The Appalachian Park.

The proposed Appalachian national
park purchase in West Virginia, Vlr-
ginia, Tennessee and the Carolinas
would cover a long, narrow slip of the
Allegheny, Cumberland and Blue
Ridge ranges. The area would be
about $500 square miles, or one-seV-
enth the size of the State Of Tennes-
see. 1t would be more than four
times as large as Rhode Island, a quar-
ter larger than Connecticut, three
times larger then Delaware, and
about the same area as Connecticut
and Rhode Island together. We hope
the enterprise will be a success. 1t
Is high time that some. authority In
tervened to save the remnant of the
once magnificent Appalachian timber
tract in the South from total destruc-
ton. The States apparently cannot.
They will not even try.-Chattanooga

wonan,a Evening Waist.

Full waists of light fabrics made In
baby fashion are in the height Of style
for evening wear and are both charm
ing and almost universally becoming.
The very pretty model illustrated is OF
louisine silk, in a soft shade Of pink,
banded with black velvet ribbon and
finished with a drapery Of pink tulle
at the neck Over the shoulders are
black velvet straps, covered with en-
broidery tn pink and white and held
by fancy ornaments. All soft, pliable
materials are, however, appropriate,
and the waist can be raised either by
being made high, with yoke and long
sleeves, or low with elbow sleeves, nav.
ing the shoulders cut away or not, az
shown in the small drawings.
