SEAMEN OF AMERICA
MAY BE CLAssED AMONG THE
FOREMOST MARINES,
Impressive Demonstration Of What
Our tackles Can Do in a Case
Of Emergency-A Severe
K. #E.s't& Test ~

It is often alleged that the art Of sea-
manship for which the American sailor,
in both the naval and merchant service,
was SO noted in the early days Of the
nation has almost disappeared at the
present time, owing to the substitution
OF steam for sails and becau-e our war
ships are pieces Of complicated ma
chinery rather than craft on which the
sailor man" is essential. But every
now and then something occurs 10 show
that Americans have not lost the knack
of handling ships at sea. An instance
of this kind, says the Troy Times, was
furnished by the experience Of the gun
boat Newport Of the United States navy.
That vessel, while on q cruise, lost her
propeller and was caught in storm OF
Hatteras. The risk was about as great
as any ship could encounter, for that re-
gion is one most dreaded by mariners.
and under the conditions confronting
the Newport the peril was immensely
intensified.
But the officers and crew Of the little
vessel were equal to the emergency.
Reliance had to be placed entirely upon
sail power, and though there was hur-
ricane; and the snow was binding and
the rigging clogged with ice, owing to
the exceptional cold, the vessel was
brought safely to port She WAS sight
to see, but pluck, skill and endurance
won and the 200 or more persons aboard
Of her were saved from death which
seemed imminent. The trial was as Sc
we're as any to which American seaman
ship could be subjected, and it came out
conspicuously triumphant. 1T was
fresh and impressive demonstration of
what the American sailor can do, and in
spires additional confidence in his capa-
bilities. He is living up to the best Of
the glorious traditions of our past.
which saw luster added to the national
name on every sea. ...
And the circumstances may serve to
call attention to the fact that the sailing
vessel is not yet obsolete, although the
steamship takes SO prominent place in
the activities of water communication.
In reality, the sailing vessel is still very
numerous, and it is discharging func-
ton which is peculiarly its own and not
likely to be taken from it. AS everyone
knows, and it is thing to be greatly re-
GREETED, the foreign commerce of the
United States is carried on mainly in
ships owned abroad and sailing under
other flags than the Stars and. Stripes.
Most Of these are steamers, of course.
But Of the American craft engaged in for
eign trade by far the larger proportion
is propelled by sail. The same thing is
true Of our coastwise traffic, surprising
as this may be to many. Statistics show
that last year the number Of steam yes
sells doing coasting business was S,116,
while the sailing vessels, canal boats
and barges aggregated 13,744-sail
craft forming by far the greater proper
ton. -:.<.
The American sailor. is not an extinct
species, and it will be long before he
ceases to be ranked among the foremost |
of his class. .s.

OLD TIME COSMETICS.

Some of the BcnntIficrs Used by the
Danes OF Antiquity.
a most repulsive cosmetic, but one
which some Roman danes of antiquity
esteemed rs most precious, was the
blood of the young hare.
During the sixteenth cent,lry the wa
ter in which beans had been boiled was
used as complexion wash, and this
farinaceous water is entitled to all the
fame 1t possesses. The ancient Gauls,
whose beautiful colO. was n subject of
so much envy to the patrician Romans,
washed their faces in the foam of beer;
also In liquid made from dissolvlng
chalk in vinegar.
An old Italian recipe for obliterating
the injurious effects of salt air and
sunshine is to battle the face with the
white of an egg well beaten. Let 1t
dry on the skin and rinse it off after
fifteen minutes. This treatment must
be repeated three or four times and al
ways mt night before retiring.
Rome under the empire and Greece
during the time of Pericles We're seized
with mania for golden hair. Many n
dame dampened her raven tresses in
the strongest of muriatic acid and sat
in the sun to bleach her hair to the
coveted yellow. Others used lye and
afterward anointed their heads with
oil made from goat fat, ashes of the
beech tree and certain yellow flowers.

SHAKING HANDS.
A Few General Rules Tint Govern
This Phnse of Etiquette.

A Few General Rules Tint Govern
This Phase of Etiquette.
When to shake hands is subject
which depends somewhat on circum-
stances, yet few general rules may be
given. When man is introduced to
woman she does not shake hands
with him unless he is decidedly elderly
or distinguished. If he is the husband
or brother Of the woman presenting
him 1t is natural to receive him cor
daily by shaking hands, but it is not
form to do so If he is mere acquaint-
ance.
A hostess should shake hands with
every guest who comes to her house,
both on their arrival AMI departure.
Women do not Shake hands when in
troduced to each other, but merely
bow. When, however, a young girl is
presented by a friend to a married
woman the. latter shakes hands with
her, but the girl must not make the
first advance.
Men shake hands when introduced to
each other MS an expression of good
will. When leaving an entertainment
n man shakes hands with the hostess.
and he may do so with friends who
are near, but he must not go abont
shaking hands generally-New York
Journal.

How to spoil Umbrellas,

I'm most cases umbrellas are not
fairly Worn out; they are ruined
through carelessness of their owners. y
said an umbrella and cane man.
when l see man walking with an
umbrella tightly graspcd in his hot
hand smile to myself, because | know
that very soon that man will be want
Ing new umbrella. There is no surcr
way of making an umbrella wear out
quickly than this habit of CARRYING it
about by its middle. Again, after be
ing out in the rain you should turn
your umbrella upside down and LET
the water drain off rs it stands with
the handle downward. BY doing this
you prevent the water from getting in
at the framework and thereby protect
the ribs from rusting. Some men open
their umbrellas before they stand them
up to dry, but this is bad plan, be-
cause the umbrella may stretch when
1T is wet. Another thing, too-neycr
roll your umbrella up, as to do so cuts
the silk."-Detroit Tribune.
