ROMANCE OF NAVAL CRAFT.
interesting History Of a Ship and
Yacht Called Dorothes.

Among the vessels assigned to the
naval militia is one with a history.
1t seems that many years ago, when
1t was the custom of the insurance un-
derwriters to put up at auction YES
sells that had been long overdue and
not heard from, a young apprentice
in Philadelphia happesed to attend
one of these auctions at which a large
ship named the Dorothea was put up
for sale.
The vessel had taken aboard very
valuable cargo, which would go with
the ship to the successful bidder. but
the very fact that the property was
so valuable had kept the underwriters
from selling the craft until long after
1t had become generally believed that
she was total wreck
Consequently the auctioneer cried
the good ship Dorothea many times
without getting a bid. Finally the
young apprentice jokingly bid five dol
lars, as nobody would bid higher, the
vessel and her cargo were knocked
down to him. Imagine the astonish-
ment of the maritime world when the
Dorothea was reported sailing into
Delaware bay.
The apprentice sold his prize for
enough to start him in business, and
for years the house thus formed was
one of the leaders in enterprise and re-
sources in the Quaker city. But at
all times the head of the firm and
his family successors made a point
of owning and operating a ship named
the Dorothea, which name also was
given the oldest daughter in each
succeeding generation.
Shortly before the Spanish war. how
ever, the third head of the house was
in failing health, and the only hope
of saving his life, he was advised, was
to live at sea- Accordingly he gave
an order to the Cramps for a large
and luxuriously appointed yacht. to
be called the Dorothea, of course, and
no expense was spared in her construc-
tion and equipment.
Unfortunately, death came to the
owner before his yacht was finally
finished and the government paid a
fancy price for the Dorothea early in
1898.
With the close of the war there
was no purely naval duty for which
the Dorothea was fitted, and yet the
government did not wish to sell her
because there was no possibility OF
getting a price for her anything like
what she had cost She was accord
ingly laid up at the League Island
navy yard until, says the Chicago
Chronicle, the Illinois Naval reserves
succeeded in convincing the navy de.
partment that they were entitled to
! her.

To Cure Cracked Skin.

Sometimes you will find an over
jealous housewife who has neglected
her hands until the skin has cracked.
Pure mutton tallow may cure this, but
mutton tallow does not agree with
every skin, and in that case the fol.
lowing pomade should be made up and
rubbed well into the skin two or
three times a day: Take one ounce
of cocoa butter and one ounce Of
sweet almonds, one dram Of oxide Of
zinc. one dram of borax and six
drops Of bergamot Heat the cocoa
butter and oil Of almonds In double
boiler, then add the oxide of zinc and
the borax. Take on the fire and
stir gently until It cools and add the
oil Of bergamot. This is very heal.
ing pomade and IN connection with
the paste will soon effect cure.

to save time every way she could.

a little laugh. Whenever l see Vir-

day when we had to wait so long at
the hotel for dinner" said Mrs. Race.
"But that was only two lines:
"'He may live without love-what is pas
sion but pining?
But where is the man that can live
without dining9"
I'VE never paid attention to those
lines In the old days, did we?" asked
Mr.. Race, who had reached the per-
feet good comradeship with his young
wife which few early marriages ever
show, but which Virginia thought hor-
rible. 81 remember we used to weep
copiously-that is, you did-over Ger,
tain fictitious heroines, and the same
passages now would only cause you
to SMILE"
Virginia had slipped away from the
young couple sitting in the midst OF
playthings, little garments and
crumbs, for a good hard think in heI
own room. Cousin Editha's visit came
to an end before the lively children
wore every one out, and when at last
they went home Virginia gave an i'm
promptu little party to celebrate the
event.

Washington. d. C.. June 22.-The
Quiry to American Minister Moiry at
San Salvador respecting the reasons
for the Imprisonment in thai capital
Of George and edward Moisant. who
are reported to be American citizens.
though whether they are naturalized
or natives is not known. 1t is said
that the Moisants were originally from
California, but they have been for
many years ngaged in business in Sal
yador, having large interests in that
country.
The press reports indicate that the
Moisants have, like SO many Ameri-
cans long resident III Central America,
become involved in the internal poll
tics Of Salvador, and incidentally il is
charged that they were connected with
the recent evolutionary attack on
Acajutla- on the other hand. IL has
been intimated that their refusal to
submit to that peculiarly Latin Amer
lear Institution known as the forced
loan is the cause of their persecu-
ton.
The question of their citizenship be-
comes Of importance, because il they
are not native, but n~aturelized citizens
Of America, they may have lost that
citizenship under the provisions Of an
act Of the last Congress.
