The best man does not always. wear
the finest GOA or the handsomest face.
Girls learn that after n while. but
men and their ways they are very apt
to be carried away by good looks and
good clothes. l do not by IN means
intend to %insinuate that some OF the
best men in the world have not been
both well dressed and handsome, but
only that very often girls do not 0
beyond the surface-good looks ana
them. If a man is plain OF race ana
badly dressed, they do not think him
worth cultivating.
You never can tell, girls, what the
development of the gawky, shy youth
may bring. Lincoln was plain, awk-
ward and badly dressed, and yet the
woman who married him would not
have exchanged him for the most per
feet Adonis. Take the trouble to find
out what there is In n man before you
condemn him for his badly fitting
clothes and plain face. Any girl can
work wonders with the man who loves
her.
Surprising you fall in love with a
man who has no regard for the little
niceties of dress. II will worry you,
of course, for every girl wants to be
proud Of the appearance of her sweet
heart. But don't be unhappy over 1T,
Go to work and bring all your influ-
ence to bear in persuading him to
take more pains with his appearance.
You will have to work on bis vanity,
but you will win out in the long run.
No girl of sense will keep herself from
loving a mar simply because he Is plain
OF face. AS long as he looks clean and
manly md honest any man Is good
looking. If he Is not all Of those three,
he can't amount to anything.
Don't waste your time and affection
on a dressed-up dummy. Remember
that it takes more than good looks to
make a good husband. What you want
is n good, honest man, a good proyider.
II he Is also good looking, why all the
better, but that is the least important
of any quality in a husband. Don't
SPOIL your whole life by placing it
above the other qualities necessary in
the making OF a good husband--Caro-

was marked by the use of ingenious
new mechanism, says the Literary Di-
gest. In particular, we are informed
by a writer in Engineering, that the
old type of dogslGres was replaced by
an electrical arrangement connected to
a series of interlocking levers, which
release he triggess that hold the yes
sci until the signal is given that all is
ready for launching. Says the writer
Two separate triggers were placed
on each side, each fitted with magnetic
reply gear TO Indicate on the launching
platform that the mechanism had
worked satisfactorily. The whole gear
was controlled by means of a minia-
ture steering wheel and standard plac-
ed on the launching platform, and so
adjusted that Wlen the Countess of
Aberdeen, who performed the cere-
mony, gave tho wheel one complete

the ways. A powerful hydraulic ram
was placed at rhe forward end of the
sliding ways On Zach side Of the vessel,
the cylinders being coupled to the same
supply pipe t. insure equality of pres
sure. These rams were for the pur-
pose of giving the vessel a start if she
had not moved directly the triggers
were released; but in this instance they
were unnecessary The drags for
checking the way on the ship after
she had successfully taken the water
were formed OF chain cables, three
piles being arranged on each side to
come into plsy at suitable intervals.
The total waight of drags employed
was about 600 tons, and their action
in bringing the ship to rest was in
every way satisfactory. The total time
taken from the STRAIT until the vessel
was actually clear of the ways was
1 :51."
Inc writer says further:
The particular berth upon which
the Agamcmnon was built was spe-
cially prepared for the laying down
of a vessel of the largest and heaviest
type. great care having beer taken in
the piling in h area. Nearly 1000
pitch-pine logs, each 10 feet long and
- inches square, were driven yertic-
ally into the ground, with cross-ties on
their tops. the total quantity of timber
used in the preparation of the berth
amounting to about $4,000 cubic feet
