The O. can Newspaper.

For good or for evil, for better or for
worse, the newspaper published on
board ship, in some form or other. is a
fait accompli. Maritime journalism is
still in too imma ture state to decide
whether it is to be blessing or a
curse, an inestimable convenience to
voyagers or a coufounded nuisance.
While, like its terrene prototype, it will
probably develop both good and bad
characteristics and possess both ad-
vantages, what is quite certain is that
it will greatly modify the present con.
ditions of the passengers life at sea.
The sense of absolute freedom from
the ordinary cares and responsibilities
of existence, which the restful isolation
Of a sea voyage conferred, was for
most people the principal charm of
ocean travel. While a voyage lasted,
at all events, it was easy to "put smil-
ing by all mundane troubles; they
might await our landing. but could not
break in from the outside world. For
the present we could devote ourselves
with enthusiasm to inhaling the stim-
ulating, health-giving ocean breeze, to
satisfying an unusually vigorous appe-
tite with the sumptuous fare provided
to-day on all first-class ships and to en-
joying in cosy nook on deck, in music

intercourse that life at sea always pro.

EXQUISITE Toilets.

Two really exquisite toilettes shown
recently are worth hearing about. but
they were so lovely that it is difficult
to do justice to their beauty in sober
black and white. The first was in the
costIiest satin in the palest shade of
Iime-leaf green. enriched with gigantic
sprays Of foliage shimmering with
crystal beads, lined with silver and
embroidered in silver and pale green
chenille. The seams were all outlined
with the crystal and silver beads, and
the back breadth was made of white
lace. The bodice was in pale green
chiffon yelled with white lace, and the
Gecolletage edged with the passemen-
terie foliage had fairy bow of green
chiffon in the centre. The sleeve was
principally made Of two glittering
.oulder straps, with fall of delicate
lace beneath. The second toilet was
in water-blue satin, almost covered
with an embroidery of little japanese
lilies, rendered in silver and irrides-
cent looking glass" sequins. The
flowers were raised, after the fashion
of the pretty chiffon flowers which we
used to admire in the season, only these
were made in chenille and beads and
sequins. so that the effect was Infinite
" prettier. The skirt was cut in pan
els over white lace, and the back was
also in lace.

We are ap' to think that our being

is apt to irapart tinge of the same mel:

own troubles, real or fancicd, is doing
something to add to the gloom. of worla
that is more lacking in sunshine than it
need be. No matter what ones private
feeling may be, one can always make an
effort to be pleasant for the sake of other

MAY not often occur, the simple but beau

German shtppingin the East.

The recent report made by the North
German Lloyd on its lines to Eastern
Asia give an interesting insight into
the possible workings Of subsidies.
During the first years the losses were
very heavy, but, beginning with 1896,
there was profit which rose in 1899
to $500,0OO. Then came the Chinese
troubles, and the government began to
get it's value out Of the subsidies. The
result was that the loss in 1900 was
$6750; in 1901, $122,0O0, and in 1902,
100000. These losses are uniformly
attributed to the heavy services which
have to be rendered by the steamship
company to the state in return for
subsidies. Among the conditions i'm
posed are fixed routes and calling at
particular points, great speed, the car.
riage of mails, and the prohibition OF
an agricultural cargo for the return
journey.

China is credited with 100000 square

1900 miles: Germany, ITO miles;
